Chapter 133: Conscription
The day after Mei Youqian came back, the door was really crowded again.
Because there were too many people at the door, Mei Berry couldn't stand it, so early in the morning, she took the mule cub who had not been at home for many days out for a walk.
The mule cub was very happy, it didn't have to pull the cart, and the plum berry didn't hold it back, it ate grass and grass if it wanted, and ate the leaves when it wanted.
In the end, Mei Berry watched the mule cub rush all the way to the foot of the back mountain to have fun.
Plum Berry simply found a large clean stone and sat down, yawning and watching the mules graze.
"So early today?"
As soon as Mei You came out of the mountains, carrying two pheasants in her hands, she saw Mei Berry putting their mules here.
"Sister, you are also very early, so early in the mountain. There are a lot of people in front of my house, and they are asking my dad about what they have seen during this time! β
After Mei Berry finished speaking, she was a little envious: "Sister, the location of your house is really good, it is estimated that there are not many people who come to inquire about the news, right?" β
"Hmm. Should. β
Mei You woke up in the morning before it was dawning, and no one would come to her house to ask at that time.
Even if there were real people, the time would be staggered with her.
"It's so good~ah~" Mei Berry stretched out her arms again, sighed, looked at Mei You and said curiously, "Sister, do you know that Chen Baodan was sentenced to ten years of mining?" β
"Yes." Mei You pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to judge, I wish him good luck~"
Mei You is also satisfied with this result.
At this time, those who were punished for committing crimes and labor were more ruthless than 007 blessings.
The sun was getting bigger, and soon after Mei You left, Mei Berry also felt a hint of heat, so she beckoned the mule cub home.
It's just that when Meiberry passed by the threshing floor in the center of the village, she saw many villagers gathered there and talked about it.
Among them, the crowd also included her parents, three uncles and three aunts.
In these years, is it necessary to listen to gossip in such a big battle?
Mei Berry subconsciously thought that his father was here, and then beckoned everyone to tell everyone about the things that happened before.
Even before she got close to her parents, Mei Berry's mind had already imagined the image of her father wearing a robe and a horse coat, standing in the middle of the crowd, hehehaha, stand-up comedy.
Well, her father's image in her mind is so changeable.
But soon, Mei Berry saw that the villagers who had scattered were frowning one by one.
It wasn't like he had heard something good.
Even the expressions on Wei Meili and Mei Youqian's faces seemed to become solemn.
It wasn't until she looked at the back of her three uncles and aunts who hurriedly left that Meiberry came back to her senses and hurriedly took the mule cub to meet her parents and ask what had happened.
"Let's talk about it when we get home."
As soon as she got home, Mei Berry was blown up by the news brought by her parents.
"Conscription?!"
Berryberry's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and then some fragmentary images flashed through her mind.
In the old mansion of the Mei family, which is not separated, her father and third uncle seem to alternate, and they disappear for one or two months every year.
When she reappeared, her third uncle or her father returned home as if she had lost half her life.
"Then, then our family is now an adult male of my father!"
Once she serves in the wings, there is an adult male in every family, and she doesn't have to think that it is her father.
"Is there any other way, such as handing over the money?"
"Yes, yes, but it takes five or two people."
"We have it at home."
"But others don't know that our family has it, where did we get this money? It's a digit, what can we do if we are targeted at our family? β
Mei Youqian thinks a lot, but he doesn't show his wealth!
It's only been a few months since the family was separated, and there are five taels of silver?
"Isn't that enough for you to do your service?"
"Oh, this time it's digging the river, the work at the door of the house, the section of Lihu Town leading to Jinbai County. The surrounding villages are recruited to go there, and there should be no problem if it's close! β
Mei Youqian waved his hand, he naturally saw the matter of the original body serving in Mei Erniu's memory, he was indeed very tired, but it was not to the point where he couldn't bear it.
"This conscription, and the salary, five dollars a day. But bring your own dry food. β
Mei Berry: "Dad, listen, is this forced labor a human job?" Are you still laughing? β
Mei Youqian's treatment was even more disagreeable as soon as Mei Berry was described, and said: "Just for this day, Wuwen, I don't include food and accommodation, no!" β
Wei Meili listened to the conversation between the father and daughter, her frowning brows never let go, and she said after a long time: "Our family made some money by selling tea before. You go to Gaoqu County, and the county magistrate rewards you with a sum of silver. β
Wei Meili said this as if it were true.
But everyone present knew she was talking nonsense.
For example, there is really no reward for the county magistrate, but Wei Meili now says that there is it.
"That's right! Get it together and you've got it! Mei Berry's eyes lit up suddenly, learning that her mother was also possessed by a drama spirit, and sighed for a long time, "The money that has been received is gone again." β
Mei Youqian: "......"
Mei Youqian was moved by the appearance of the mother and daughter, he nodded, Wei Meili directly decided that their family would not touch meat recently, and if you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be a little!
Plum Berry: ??
Mei Youqian: !!
"You have to look like it, you know?" Wei Meili glared at the father and daughter, who seemed to be dying if they didn't eat meat, "There is no silver at home, and you still want to eat?" β
"Oh, sister, you say...... Is it necessary?"
Almost the same problem as the plum berry family, and then Mei You, who also decided to spend money to eliminate the disaster, is now strolling around the wooded mountains with the plum berry in the afternoon to cool off.
Mei You shook her head after hearing Mei You's complaints, thinking for a while.
"Really?"
"Hmm."
"By the way, sister, do you want to compare your family's reason for five taels of silver with our family's reference, the reward of the county master, and what do you earn by hunting yourself?"
"No, but if someone really wants to ask, you can say that."
As soon as she heard Mei You speak so dryly, Mei Berry was stunned at first, and then asked in great surprise: "Sister, when you plan to spend money to offset this conscription, don't you think about how to answer when others ask where the silver came from?" β
At this point, Mei You nodded and admitted without hesitation.
"My father and my mother used to lose money all year round, so we can't be so tired anymore."
Mei You and his family mentioned conscription at that time, and Mei You directly decided to offset this conscription with silver for this reason.
And Mei Berry blinked when she heard Mei You's reason: "That's it?" β
"Or else?" Mei You didn't know what Mei Berry was wondering about, so she thought about Mei Berry's question just now, and said, "Do we have any money in our family and what do we have to do with others?" β
"Hmm...... Wouldn't it be nice if someone was targeted? β
"They can give it a try."
Mei You's strong self-confidence comes from her great strength, and she doesn't care how others will guess that she will have so much silver.
Now I have to explain five taels, and when it comes to winter, after getting the first dividend from the soap they sold, do you have to explain so much silver to others?
Mei You thought so and told Mei Berry that, Mei Berry was stunned when she heard it, and then couldn't help laughing.
"It's that we're thinking too much. Silver is just not enough to earn, every time you make a sum of silver, you have to tell others how you earned it, you are indeed going to be tired~"
The plum berry was also suddenly enlightened at that moment.
Their family's silver will only increase, and they can't have to account for every amount of money.
After chatting with Mei You for a while, Mei Berry, who was in a much relaxed mood, suddenly remembered another thing with a roll of her eyes.
"What do you say about the old mansion?"
In the original memories of Mei Berry and Mei You, the old Mei family's conscription has always been Mei Sanma and Mei Erniu in turn.
Now that they have split up, what should the old Mei family do this year?
"Do you think grandpa will feel sorry for the uncle himself?"
"I think Uncle might go up."
It's not like Mei Berry thinks that Old Man Mei will go, but Mei You thinks Mei Dahu will go.
"Grandpa, he seems to be eccentric, uncle, they ......," Mei You slowly spoke, expressing her feelings, "but in fact, what he likes the most is himself." β

Mei You: I didn't expect it, I've been checking on Old Man Mei recently.
Plum Berry: I didn't expect it...... But it doesn't matter, I'm stuck. (οΌΎοΌοΌΎ) V
