Chapter 192: The Conscription is Coming
This matter is finally over, no matter what, the people of the Tang family are decadent and go back, their hearts are so tired, and they don't know what to do now.
Although the people in the village have all gone back, they all hate the people of the Tang family in their hearts, they feel that the people of the Tang family are too much, and they don't take everyone seriously at all.
Lin Qiu'er and Tang Zhi'an didn't pay attention to all this at home, the people of the Tang family had completely hurt their family last time, Tang Zhi'an didn't want to pay attention to those people now, and Lin Qiu'er hated them even more.
After a few days, this time is slowly coming to winter, getting up in the morning, a cold air will come to the surface, Lin Qiu'er sighed, this winter is coming, think about last year, I really feel so cold!
Coming out of the yard, a snow-white world, Lin Qiu'er was slightly stunned, it turned out to be snowing, no wonder it was so cold! He quickly turned around and went back to his house and put on a dress.
When she came out, she hurriedly went to work in the kitchen, and Tang Zhian hurriedly swept the snow in the yard, otherwise the snow would continue to fall, and it was likely that there would be no way to open the door in the end.
Because of the snow, the village was much quieter, everyone was in their own homes, and after making breakfast, Lin Qiu'er and Tang Zhi'an hurried to eat, the weather was too cold, let it go for a while, and the meal would be cold.
But the snow began to fall as if it never ended, and it rained for about ten days in a row, and the people in the village were locked up in their homes and could not go out, and finally they waited until the snow stopped before they went out.
On this day, the sun came out, and the people in the village came out to talk, and after so many days of nesting at home, it made people feel very depressed.
As soon as Lin Qiu'er went out, she saw Ye Lan clearing the snow at the door, she hurriedly walked over and said, "Sister-in-law." ”
Ye Lan turned to look at her with a smile, "Qiu'er, have you been suffocating at home these days?" ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said, "Yes, I can't do anything, I can only sit at home." ”
Ye Lan looked at her and said, "Well, your face looks much better these days than before." ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded, because of Tang Zhi'an's imprisonment before, she ran for a few days, and she was in a hurry, so she couldn't eat and sleep, so she was definitely a little haggard during that time.
Ye Lan looked at the already clean snow in front of Lin Qiu'er's house and said, "This Zhi'an is really diligent, he has swept away the snow in front of your house so quickly." ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said, "He swept the door first, and he is sweeping the yard at home at this time!" ”
Ye Lan smiled and didn't speak, the rest of the people in the village were also sweeping the snow in their own house, Lin Qiu'er was going to do it, but Tang Zhi'an didn't let her do it, so she could only come out to talk to Ye Lan.
When everyone was busy, they heard the village bell, looked at each other, and they were all a little worried, Ye Lan and Lin Qiu'er were also a little worried, the village bell would only ring when there were some important things to do in the case of forced labor or tax payment.
Ye Lan went home and put a broom, came out to look at Lin Qiu'er and said, "Let's go!" Let's hurry to the ancestral hall and see what the village chief wants to inform you. “
Lin Qiu'er nodded, seeing that Tang Zhian also locked the door of her house, she waited for him to come to the side, and then went to the ancestral hall with Ye Lan and Daniel Zhang.
Everyone was speculating about what was going on along the way, and they met a lot of people in the village on the way, and the first thing they said when they met was to ask if they knew what was going on.
But everyone was confused, they didn't know what was going on, and when they arrived at the ancestral hall, they saw the village chief smoking a dry cigarette with a heavy face, and Lin Xiaoshan next to him didn't look good.
Everyone's hearts began to beat drums, and they didn't know what it was like, but they were able to make the faces of the village chief and Lin Xiaoshan not look good.
When more people from the village came, the bottom exploded like water in an oil pot, and they were all talking about what was going on?
Soon the people in the village were almost all there, and the village chief coughed and said, "It's all quiet, and I have something to announce next." ”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and no one spoke anymore, just looked at the village chief in a daze.
The village chief sighed and said, "Everyone also knows that it has snowed for about ten days before, and the road leading from the county government to the state capital has been destroyed, so we have to let everyone repair the road." ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, this is conscription, but although it is a road repair, but it is really likely to lose your life, and if you think about it in such a cold weather, you will know that it will be very hard.
In particular, there will be people to supervise the conscription, you have to work all the time, and if you are a little slower, you will be beaten, so everyone is very afraid of the conscription.
Seeing the actions of the village, the village chief knew what they were thinking, and finally could only sigh and say: "This time is also a last resort, everyone knows that this matter of conscription has always been managed by the government, so I can't help it, you must abide by it." ”
Lin Qiu'er and Ye Lan's faces also changed, if their men went, they would definitely not be able to stand it, they would be sick and frostbitten when they sat at home in this kind of weather, and it was really likely that they would lose their lives if they went to serve in the conscription.
Lin Qiu'er looked at Tang Zhi'an nervously, with some worry and panic in her eyes, but she still tried to calm herself, the village chief must not have finished speaking, there must be other ways.
Sure enough, the village chief then said, "You should all know that this conscription must go, as long as there is one adult man in each family, you must go, two adult men go to one, three go to two, that's it, after you go back, discuss it to see who goes." ”
Ye Lan and Lin Qiu'er were both panicked, the men in their family were going to go, Lin Qiu'er looked at Tang Zhi'an anxiously and said, "What should I do?" ”
Tang Zhian touched her head and said: "It's okay, even if I go, I will definitely come back well, I have also gone hunting in the mountains on snowy days, so there must be no problems, you can rest assured!" ”
Lin Qiu'er shook her head, "This is different!" If you go hunting, it's too cold to bake the fire, but if you go to serve as a servant, you won't have time to rest, and even if it's too cold, you can't even drink hot water! ”
Tang Zhian was about to say something to comfort his daughter-in-law, and the village chief then spoke, "If anyone doesn't want to go, they will pay the money, fifty taels of silver per person." ”
Hearing this, Lin Qiu'er was quiet all of a sudden, give money, their family must give money, the dividends of those sauce meat made before have not been given to them, and those dividends will definitely not be less, so their family must give money.
Besides, their family is not short of this silver, just give money, she is not willing to let her man serve as a servant.
When the people in the village heard this amount, they were even more disappointed, this amount of money was simply not something they could afford!
After the village chief finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Let's all go home and discuss!" Either go to the people, or give the money, and consult with yourselves, and those who go will meet at the entrance of the village in three days. With that, he turned and left.
There are also three men in their family, according to the rules, they have to go to two, if they don't go, they will have to pay a hundred taels of silver, and the money earned by the family this year is not enough, and the boss has to add some more, and he is reluctant to go to either of these two sons.
The people in the village wanted to talk to the village chief again, but when they saw that he had left, they could only go back with sad faces.
After Tang Zhi'an and Lin Qiu'er returned home, Lin Qiu'er hurriedly took out the silver, "Ah Zhi, you hurry up and pay the silver to the village chief, our family will definitely pay this time." ”
Tang Zhian saw that his daughter-in-law was so active, so he said, "Let it go first, otherwise I will go tomorrow." ”
Lin Qiu'er didn't agree, "You'd better hurry up!" There must be a certain amount of money for this given, and my heart will be stable if I give it early, otherwise I will always have to worry about it. ”
Seeing his daughter-in-law say this, Tang Zhian did not hesitate, and hurried over, if he could make his daughter-in-law feel at ease now, then he would do it, so he hurried away.
When I arrived at the village chief's house, I saw that the courtyard of the village chief's house was full of people, all of whom were from the village, and they were all a little excited.
Some of the women were in tears, and the men were also full of bitterness, "Village chief, is there really no other way?" ”
The village chief shook his head, "This is the prefect's order, and there is no way to disobey the county order, let alone me?" ”
When the people in the village heard this, they were saddened, they didn't have any money, so they had to go to the conscription, but this also meant that they might lose their lives there.
"Village chief, please, save my man! If something happens to him, what will we do! ”
"Village chief, you can think of a way!"
The village chief looked at the villagers and sighed and said, "Alas, what can I do, I'm also very embarrassed, it's really no way at all." ”
The village chief also felt uncomfortable, they were all from the same village, and he also wanted everyone in the village to be well-treated, and he also knew that it was a fatal thing to go to serve in the conscription in this season, but the order from above came down, and it would definitely not work if he didn't go!
Lin Xiaoshan saw that everyone was looking for his father, and he hurriedly said, "You all hurry back and think of a way!" It's not a matter to pester my dad like this, he doesn't have any way, and we have to have two people in our family to go, if we don't go, my dad won't be uncomfortable. ”
The people in the village were a little stunned, yes, they just thought of themselves, and now they think that the village chief's house also has to go to two people!
The village chief sighed and said, "Okay, let's all go back!" There is really no way to do this, you can only figure out a way by yourself, either you will go to someone, or you will pay for it. ”
After saying that, some people slowly left, and they also knew that they would not get any reply here, so they simply went back and found a way to get it themselves.
When I left, I saw Tang Zhi'an at the door, and some people felt uncomfortable, so they said sourly, "You're here to see the joke, right?" ”
