Chapter 39: Conscription (I)

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, Zhou Yanliang was going to the Fulinmen Restaurant in the town to inquire about the news, early in the morning, the people of the Zhou family made breakfast, usually when they were half-full, the meal seemed to be too robbed, and they ate clean in the blink of an eye, as if they didn't even need to wash the bowl.

Today, it's the opposite, the bowl seems to be filled with countless foods, and I can't finish it.

And the atmosphere of breakfast is also strange, too quiet, and the sound of eating is also very small, Zhou Ziya looked at a group of people, shook her head helplessly, and was really scared. With such a little opportunity to make money, the people of the Zhou family are like life-saving straws, and they can't afford to miss anything at all. I'm afraid I'll be able to eat alone at this table.

Ignoring other people, Zhou Ziya eats her own by herself, she eats very deliciously, and she is usually almost the last to finish eating, but today she actually turned over and became the first child to finish eating.

She didn't want to persuade anything, anyway, it was useless to persuade her, but in the future, she made a lot of money, so she could let them think about today's situation and let them reflect on it, maybe it would be beneficial.

Finally, time will not stop because of anyone, seeing that the time is not early, Old Man Zhou drove his son out of the door.

And today, the old man is even more rare to give everyone a day off, and there is no need to work in the field.

As a result, everyone gathered around the house, and before Zhou's father brought back the good news, they actually waited for a big bad news.

"Old man, you're at home. The county issued a notice that this year the family will send a man to serve in the conscription, and those who do not go can be replaced by five taels of silver per person. It was a little strange for the village chief to enter the house and see that the Zhou family was there, but he didn't care about it, and just told the news.

"What, conscription? The village chief is coming in and sitting down, and tell us what is going on. "There has been no conscription in the village for many years, and this sudden appearance made the people of the Zhou family bored.

The village chief was not polite and was invited into the house, and Zhou's daughter-in-law brought tea into the house. Everyone stood in the main room, anxious to know the specific situation. Although conscription is much better than military service. That's just a comparison, and the danger will be different depending on the situation of conscription.

Sometimes I just go a little harder, a little tired, and I don't eat well. But there are some cases where people are going to die. And the time doesn't have to be the same every time.

"Village chief, how long will this conscription take?" The old man's muffled voice sounded.

"It's not long, just three months. It's just digging a river, old man, you know, digging a river is not a light job, and people, it is estimated that there will be no danger to life. It's just that when I come back in these three months, I will lose a lot of weight, that's for sure. If you don't plan to use silver and use people, it's best to pick someone with the best health in the family. The village chief is also a very good-hearted person, he reminded that after all, if you choose someone who is in poor health, there will be no return at that time.

"Village chief, if you don't go, you really have to give five taels of silver?" Zhou is most concerned about silver taels, hearing this several times, she almost didn't vomit blood, think about five taels, don't want her life. She can't afford to pay five cents usually.

The village chief also knows how important five taels of silver is to the farmer, after all, five taels of silver a year like the Zhou family is completely sufficient, and maybe it won't be used if you save a little. Saving five taels of silver is not an easy task.

"Yes, the notice from the county, the rules. We can't help it. ”

The village chief shook his head with a sigh, the situation in his family is the same, but his family is much better, the family has extra money, and he is reluctant to let his son work hard, plus it is said that there is no danger, there are too many situations in this world. He couldn't afford to gamble. And when the time comes, it's far away from home, and I can't receive any news, and I can't help. Therefore, the family has already discussed it, and it is just a matter of silver. After all, compared to the son, the silver is still more important than the son.
