Chapter 18 Sending Off
"Big brother and second brother, come quickly!" Ning Laosan's voice of surprise came from the mountain.
"Changgui, how's it going? Did you catch it? ”
Ning Laosan and Ning Changrong came when they heard the sound, and after eating at night, the three brothers went up the mountain to check the trap harvest, and after seeing two in a row, they were empty, Ning Laosan was in a hurry, and the two brothers went to see the third trap first.
"Second brother, it's caught! You and Big Brother are coming! ”
After hearing this, the two quickened their pace, and Ning Changrong looked into the trap, good guy! Two fat rabbits were struggling inside, and when they saw the human, they struggled even more violently, as if to say that my life is over.
"Big brother, your trap is too powerful. I actually caught it. "To be honest, after seeing that the first two traps are empty, Ning Laosan doesn't have any hope, and he didn't think that there would be two of them!
"Brother, can you also teach me and my second brother when you go back, let's come up and lay a few traps if it's okay, even if we don't have such good luck, we can occasionally open meat."
"What's wrong with that? Didn't you all see me do it once? I'll take you two more to make a few more when I go back, it's not difficult. ”
"Let's go and see the remaining three, maybe we can catch a few more."
It turned out that Ning Changrong and their luck was still good, in addition to the two rabbits in the front, three more were caught in the trap behind, one trap was empty, and the remaining one caught two, and one trap caught one, and the harvest was quite rich.
Wang Xiujuan is not like other families in the village, she has to save up the meat, and the meat is open to eat plus some side dishes, and it is just a matter of one or two meals, and the family is as thin as hemp stalks, and they do it all with a wave of their hand.
The Ning family was overjoyed, and they ate two meals of meat in a row, plus a rabbit the day before was three meals, and fortunately, the houses in the village were built far away, otherwise the fragrance could make the children cry.
"It's so comfortable, these meals are the most refreshing I've eaten since I came here, but it's a pity that there are no chili peppers, otherwise a spicy rabbit would be so beautiful." Ning Qingxi lay on her grandmother's bed without any image.
"You girl, why is you so unimpressive, and you don't know how to close the door, just forget it if your family sees it, if you let people outside see it, your reputation will be bad." Wang Xiujuan slapped her granddaughter on the leg of her lying on her back. It's not that they dislike it, it's just that now they are in ancient times, and it's not good to be too maverick.
Ning Qingxi was so painful that he retracted his legs and exclaimed, "Oh, you have so much strength, do you want to give me a cripple?" The strength of her mother's body is really big, and Ning Qingxi feels that her legs must have been reddened.
"You girl knows how much it hurts to be weird? The milk is not forced. You lie down, why don't you know to close the door? Your aunts and uncles have all seen you lazy girl. ”
"Didn't I forget? If you see it, you can see it. What does it matter? I'm only nine years old! ”
Ning Qingxi lifted his trouser leg regardless of his image, "Milk, see how strong you are?" It's all red. "It is worth mentioning that the ancients actually wore open crotch pants! How can Ning Qingxi's family accept it? The pants of the three of them were changed by Wang Xiujuan.
Wang Xiujuan was a little distressed, she forgot that this body is younger than her, although her physique may not be as good as her original, but this perennial strength to go to the ground is much greater than her, and she said while rubbing: "Milk next time, pay attention, although you are only nine years old, but this ancient eleven or twelve years old have begun to discuss marriage, although our family will definitely not do this, but you are also a big girl in the eyes of others, usually in the house, forget it, but don't dare to do it outside, fortunately, the Ning family will not go outside to talk about the reputation of their family." ”
Ning Qingxi is not unpersuaded, she knows the severity, how important reputation is to a woman in ancient times She has not read history, but she feels that she is still young by habitual thinking, looking at her and saying that she is nine years old, looking at her body that is only about seven years old, eating a few meals of meat, her face is a lot ruddy.
"Don't worry, milk, I will definitely pay attention in the future, even if I have to lie down, I will close the door."
"By the way, what about my father? Why didn't you see others. "After eating today, Ning Changrong is gone, and he usually comes to this house, and the family will sum up the next plan.
Wang Xiujuan sighed, "I'm going to see off his friends in the village, the people who are serving in labor are all gathered at the entrance of the village today, and your father and a few brothers have gone." ”
Their family relied on the books in Ning Changrong and Ning Qingxi's minds to get together the money for the substitute service, and the others didn't have such a big ability, except for a few wealthy families in the village who barely scraped together enough money, most of the families in Xiayuan Village could only send their families to gather.
"Changfu, aren't you going? Originally, I thought that if we went together at that time, our brothers would be able to hold each other's hands together. ”
Ning Lao Er looked at Ning Changrong, who was saying goodbye to people not far away, turned his head to look at Ning Dayou, the little friend in front of him, and pursed his lips, "It's my eldest brother who went to the county to collect enough money, you kid have to take care." Don't mess around, other people's officials are not the same as us, and if you don't manage yourself, you will have to eat in prison when the time comes. ”
The little friend looked at Ning Lao Er enviously, "Alas, your eldest brother is really capable, I know, where do I dare to fight against other officials?" ”
"It's good that you know the weight, so go with confidence. I'll take care of your home. ”
Ning Changrong came to send Ning Daniu, who had the best relationship in the village in the past, and he looked honest and honest, which was very deceptive, and he was actually a good one.
"Evergreen, I'm leaving. When we come back, our brothers are making an appointment to have a drink together. ”
Ning Da Niu's thick palm slapped on Ning Changrong's shoulder, and the pain made him frown, and he moved his shoulder away without moving, "Okay, I'll wait for a few brothers." ”
In the other villages on the side, it is better to play loudly.
In the end, Ning Changrong and the others who came to see them off gave time to their relatives, and some people kept crying for a while, and finally it was Village Chief Ning who interrupted them.
"Okay, if you don't leave, you'll be late, and if you're late, you'll have to hit the board, and if you don't want your family to suffer, hurry up and leave with me."
The village chief Ning is responsible for leading the villagers to the designated place to report, if the people are not in order, and the money has not been paid, the whole village will be imprisoned.
"Dayes, you go. Remember to listen to the official and don't cause trouble. ”
"Don't worry, mother, if there is anything at home that you can ask Changfu for help, I told him.
"Da Niu, my mother will take care of herself, you have to come back safely." Mrs. Cheng took her son's hand and looked at him reluctantly.
"Mother, you are doing well at home, and my son will definitely come back to continue to be filial to you."
After a while, Village Chief Ning took more than a dozen people from Xiayuan Village and set off in a mighty manner.
A group of people at the entrance of the village watched their families leave with tears streaming down their faces, until their figures became smaller and smaller, and they completely disappeared into the distance before returning home one after another.
