Chapter 154: Conscription
"Mother, who are you?"
Ning Youfu stepped forward in disbelief, looked Ning Pengpeng up and down, and was very surprised in his heart.
Because the current Ning Pengpeng is still wearing the satin clothes that Pei Fu prepared for her!
It's very expensive to look at, and what is stuck in the bun is a golden hairpin, right?
A little flashing eyes, not only Ning Youfu's eyes fell on Ning Pengpeng's hairpin, but Liu's, Wang's and Zhao Juan, who were pulling the curtain and looking out in the ox cart, all looked at the top of Ning Pengpeng's head with some glow.
"What nonsense, what do I ask you?
What the hell is going on?
You two husbands and wives, what's going on? ”
Ning Pengpeng's face is very unpleasant, what she is most afraid of when opening a store is that customers come to the door and the door is closed.
If Ning Youfu didn't give her a reasonable reason, she would just kick people away and find someone to be the shopkeeper.
"Mother, that's right. This time, the prefectural order came down to the adults over the age of eighteen, and the men under the age of forty-five to serve in the forced labor.
Because our family is divided, each family is of the age of conscription.
Originally, the son wanted the fourth child to help him talk to Li Zheng about paying the money and exempting him from forced labor.
It's just that the county magistrate said that the number of people who are forced to do so must not be less.
Therefore, the only way to do so was to find the man in the village who was willing to serve in his place to give him money.
However, the fourth child told me that he couldn't find someone to replace me, so yesterday I was in a hurry, so I came back with Liu. ”
Hearing Boss Ning's words, Ning Laosi's face turned red.
"I didn't mean to say that I couldn't find it, it was really hard to find, our four brothers had to find four people instead, how could there be so many people in the village who were willing to go?"
"So, are you going to do it now?"
After listening to the words of Ning Boss and Ning Laosi, Ning Pengpeng's brows were still tightly locked, and he didn't let go.
"This ...... Juanzi's stomach suddenly hurt badly, so I wanted the second brother to help set up an ox cart and take her to the town's medical center. ”
Speaking of this, Ning Laosi suddenly reacted, Zhao Juan's stomach was still hurting!
hurriedly turned around, but just saw Zhao Juan looking outside with the curtain lifted, where did she look like she had a stomachache?
"I think she's better than me, where does she look like she has a stomachache?"
Ning Pengpeng snorted coldly, Ning Laosi still didn't understand, Zhao Juan's stomach hurt just now, it was completely pretended, just to force him to promise to give his father-in-law money.
After figuring out this truth, Ning Laosi's face suddenly turned black like ink.
Zhao Juan also knew that her calculation had missed the filling, and she suddenly timidly hugged her stomach and looked at Ning Laosi, for fear that he would lose her temper.
Ning Pengpeng didn't care about the turbulent undercurrents between Ning Lao Si and his wife, all of this was done by the fourth child himself.
During the Chinese New Year, I had only brainwashed him, but I didn't expect that after going out for such a month, his ears would soften again.
Whatever he says, he deserves it.
He didn't go to talk to Ning Lao Si anymore, but just called Ning Lao Eldest and Ning Lao Er to come over, and asked with a twisted eyebrow.
"Why can't you find someone willing to serve in the conscription? If there is not enough silver, then more is needed. ”
In Ning Pengpeng's heart, this kind of thing was originally very far away from her.
After all, in modern society, there is no such thing.
Even if you go to be a soldier, you have to be in good physical fitness to be qualified.
It's not like whoever wants to go can go.
Therefore, when I hear about the conscription, I naturally subconsciously bring up the matter of giving out the money.
Moreover, she is only now reacting.
Because she divided the family into a family, they were originally a family, and they only needed one person to serve in the conscription.
But now, all four brothers have to go to the conscription.
If you don't want to go, you'll have to get four pieces of silver.
Fortunately, their family did not lack this bit of silver now, otherwise, the silver from servitude alone would have crushed the back of their brothers.
Hearing Ning Pengpeng's question, Boss Ning's face showed helplessness.
"Mother, because of the silver from the sale of sugarcane before, and the money from the sale of straw curtains these days, many families, many families in our village, are not willing to let their families serve as conscripts.
After all, those who went to serve in the conscription before came back with a serious illness.
As a result, fewer people are willing to go.
However, the county commander is not allowed to use silver instead of conscription, and the number must be sufficient, so the people in our village can't afford to make up people now.
Li Zheng is also worried, and the fourth child said yesterday that he couldn't find anyone, so we hurried back yesterday to discuss what should be done in this matter? ”
Boss Ning is also full of anxiety now, he is living a good life now, but if he goes to serve in conscription, the store will not be opened, not to mention, there is no man in the family, it is not a way after all.
Hearing Boss Ning's words, Ning Peng choked.
In total, it was she who made the whole village rich, which led to the current situation?
"Mother, why are you riding so fast?"
Just when Ning Pengpeng and Ning Lao's eyes were staring, Ning Laosan finally arrived with the carriage.
Ning Peng cleared his throat and said directly to the four brothers of the Ning family.
"This is Qing Niang, a martial artist I specially invited to give to a few children.
After that, she lived in my yard.
After the children finished reading, they came to my yard and exercised with Qingniang.
Boss, I know what you said now, wait for you to come with me to meet Youzhi. ”
Hearing Ning Pengpeng's words, the big guys were taken aback and looked at Qingniang.
Unexpectedly, this young woman is actually a martial master?
If she hadn't combed the woman's hair in a bun and said that she was a big girl, some people would have believed it.
Aunt Tan had been nesting in Ning Pengpeng's yard, and if she didn't have anything to do with a few masters, she wouldn't have anything to do with them.
After all, the old lady was not here now, and she was afraid that if something happened, it would be bad.
Before Liu Hu followed Ning Laosi to work early and return late, and later went to the field to help, Aunt Tan basically detained her daughter-in-law and hid in the yard during the day, and easily did not open the door.
Therefore, even if she heard some lively sounds outside this time, Aunt Tan couldn't help but be curious and didn't come out to investigate.
It wasn't until Ning Peng knocked on the door that Aunt Tan pricked up her ears and asked suspiciously.
"Cuihua, did I hear it wrong?
Is the old lady back, how did I hear the old lady's voice? ”
Zhu Cuihua listened attentively, and then her face showed joy.
"Mother, you heard it right, it's the old lady's voice!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, quickly threw away the needlework in their hands, and ran out together to open the gate of the yard.
I saw a bunch of people standing at the door, and they were startled.
"Old lady, you're finally back!"
When Aunt Tan saw Ning Pengpeng, her eyes were red, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Where's Liu Hu?"
Ning Pengpeng looked left and right, and couldn't see Liu Hu's figure, so she looked up and looked into the courtyard, but didn't see Ning Laosi, who was originally black-faced, behind her, stiffened slightly.
