Chapter 44: Parting sorrow
In the blink of an eye, the rumors of the village have finally been confirmed, and today is the day when these people leave the village.
The environment of Shanshui Village is good, so almost all the families are passable and will not be hungry, so although there are more than five taels of silver, many people are reluctant, but there will still be a little bit of fineness at home. A few will take the money.
"Woo, Xianggong, you must take care of your body outside, and when you do work, you have to have a few more eyes. If the food is not tasty, eat more. Don't go hungry. My child and I will be waiting for you at home. You must come back safely. At the entrance of the village, a woman pulled the man and cried tears on her face, and her hand grabbed the man tightly, for fear that this let go would be goodbye.
"Lady, how many times have you said this. Rest assured, there will be no danger in this conscription. I can't bear you and the children, I will definitely return safely. About three months or so. You have to live a good life at home. Serve your in-laws well, and watch a few naughty children at home. He didn't want to go, but the conditions at home were there, and he couldn't help it, and now that he hadn't left, he was worried that his children would worry about his daughter-in-law.
In fact, even if it seems that this time it is just digging some river, the work is very tiring. And the environment is not good, the food is not good, the health is not good, and the miscellaneous piles are piled together. Most likely to make people sick. In ancient times, medicine was not developed at all, and a small cold could kill people. Therefore, once you get sick, it is especially life-threatening.
"Sister, what are you looking at, it's time to go home." Zhou Zihu just took Zhou Ziya to the village shop to learn a little salt, and by the way, Zhou Ziya bought some sugar and the like.
Of course, Zhou Ziya's pocket money was pulled out of Zhou Yanliang's father's private money.
And she usually doesn't have much money to use, so she actually has quite a lot of private rooms.
"Brother, you see they're all going to join the conscription. Is there any way you say you can not attend? Zhou Ziya watched the sad scene and felt that her emotions were affected.
Seeing those women, children, men, all with red eyes and tears flowing wildly, that kind of sad scene made her feel like something was blocked in her chest. It's very uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because she lived in the modern age of the twenty-first world in her last life, and she lived a good life, where has she ever seen such a side.
She felt as if her heart had really become fragile with her youth.
"Silly sister, didn't the family use silver to pay off. You don't have to participate with money. Zhou Zihu touched his sister's head, he usually thinks his sister is smart, but today he found that his sister is also quite stupid.
Zhou Ziya rolled her eyes directly, and said with a little anger in her tone, "Brother, that is this time when the government is willing to use silver to offset it, you can not go, but not every time you can use silver." Only by studying and obtaining a reputation like Xiucai can you no longer have to worry about forcibly participating in conscription and the like in the future. ”
Zhou Zihu continued to laugh heartlessly, not understanding the meaning of Zhou Ziya's words at all, but said with a smile, "Sister, you are so smart, you know this." Don't worry, now that the family has earned money, no one will participate in the conscription, and my sister doesn't have to worry. ”
Zhou Ziya rolled her eyes directly, she had no words for Ge Ke, who was completely unenlightened.
In the days that followed, because the men of the family pillars in the village left, the village was in a sad atmosphere. Even the laughter is much less. Many women have been deprived of energy all day, and the children of the family have stopped coming out to play in trouble.
