After going out to work for almost a month, Mei Dahu felt a lot more relaxed when he went home with the silver.

However, before entering the village, he specially stuffed two pieces of broken silver into the shoes on the soles of his feet, stepped on them repeatedly to make sure that he could not see them, and then walked towards the village.

Because Mei Berry's family lives in the village, Mei Dahu can pass by their house when he comes back.

Mei Berry just took out two hot eggs from the chicken coop, and when she looked up, she came to eye contact with Mei Dahu, who was looking at it.

"Uncle......" Mei Berry stood up and said hello, Mei Dahu did not have the same "true feelings" as his daughter-in-law and his wife, everything was shown on his face.

He nodded slightly, even if he answered the greeting of Mei Berry, looked up at the smoke rising from the chimney in their kitchen, and asked casually, "What about your father?" ”

"My dad went to the village chief." Mei Berry's gaze fell on the package on Mei Dahu's back, and after thinking for a while, he spoke, "Go to the village chief and talk about the conscription." ”

"W-What?"

Seeing Mei Dahu's blank mind, Mei Berry was deliberately surprised: "Huh? Uncle, didn't you come back to rush back to join the conscription? ”

Mei Dahu: !!

At this moment, the toes in the direction of home can't help but start to change directions.

He'd forgotten that there was still such a thing as servitude!

"Uncle?"

Seeing that Mei Dahu was about to open a dye shop on his face, Mei Berry also shouted viciously to bring him back to his senses, and then sprinkled salt on his wounds:

"Uncle, it's getting late, don't you want to go back and clean up? I heard that everyone will be leaving the day after tomorrow~"

After hearing Mei Berry's words, Mei Dahu's face turned even paler, and he staggered around and was about to leave.

The departing back looked too embarrassed, and even Mei Berry felt that Mei Dahu wanted to turn around for a moment and ran out of the village without coming back!

Mei Dahu ran away from the door of Mei Berry's house, and the way the door rushed forward was directly seen by Mei Youqian, who had just handed over the silver and walked back easily.

Oops~

This is worthy of the father and daughter, when Mei Youqian recognized at a glance who the person who ran over was, he stopped the other party.

"Ah, big brother, are you back?"

I didn't pay attention to the person who walked by me was Mei Laoer, who knew that the other party reached out to stop him, and when he was smiling at Mei Youqian, Mei Dahu instantly became nervous.

The hand that grabbed the burden was so hard that he could even see the green tendons on his back.

"Big brother, did you come back to join the conscription?"

came up, Mei Dahu didn't want to hear any sentence, so Mei Youqian rushed up to say something.

Who's going to rush into the conscription?

"Huh." Mei Dahu's skin smiled and glanced at Mei Youqian, "Aren't you the same?" ”

"Eh~ Big brother, then we are different."

Mei Youqian immediately shook his head, smashed his mouth, and said to the other party with a face of "villain's ambition", "I have the final say in our family, I said that no one in the family said a word if I emptied my family funds and resisted the conscription, can you say no word, big brother?" ”

"You're not going?!"

Mei Dahu realized that Mei Youqian actually did not participate in the conscription, and his eyes widened instantly.

There was an astonishing scream in his throat, like the struggle of an old when someone grabbed it by the throat.

"Oh, not only me, but also the third child."

Leaning forward slightly, Mei Youqian leaned in front of Mei Dahu to speak in a devilish manner.

After speaking, he raised his eyes to Mei Dahu's ghostly expression, and Mei Youqian finally couldn't help laughing.

With his laughter, a depression suddenly expressed in his heart.

That's the original, a thrill of revenge!

So the laughter became louder and louder, and Mei Youqian even left with a smile on his back, leaving Mei Dahu standing in place with a blank face.

Looking at Mei Youqian's arrogant and departing back, Mei Dahu suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself.

With a "snap", with a hot pain, Mei Dahu took a breath of cold air and muttered: "God, I didn't dream......"

***

"Poofhahahaha, haven't you seen Mei Dahu's hellish appearance!"

When eating in the evening, Mei Youqian still couldn't stop laughing.

Plum Berry silently held the bowl away from her dad's laughter and saliva splash.

"When I went to hand over the silver today, I happened to see my father reporting Mei Dahu's name there, you don't know that he saw the unbelievable look on his face when he saw me handing over the silver.

I was in a good mood at the time, and when I came back, I met Mei Dahu again, oops~ This damn fate hahahahaha! ”

Mei Berry listened, but asked curiously: "My grandfather is really willing to let my uncle serve as a conscription?" ”

"What if it weren't?" Mei You glanced at her daughter, "Do you think five taels of silver is very good?" ”

"That's not ...... either"

Mei Berry was a little awkward, she thought that her eccentric grandfather would still be partial in this matter, but she reported Mei Dahu's name so happily, and she didn't even hesitate!

"Alright, alright, eat!"

Wei Meili saw that the big and small ones couldn't eat at ease, so they opened their mouths to urge.

"Well, can't you share such a happy thing? In my opinion, we have to celebrate~ or ...... Shall we eat meat tomorrow? ”

Mei Berry her father, this belongs to the poor dagger.

"No, tomorrow we will eat stir-fried bean sprouts, cold cucumbers, and braised winter melon."

But Plum Berry is unmoved.

"Huh?" Mei Berry couldn't hold back now, "Do you really want to be a vegetarian?" ”

Plum Berry also thought that her mother was just talking.

"Of course, when it comes to doing it, eat a few less meat~" Wei Meili raised her hand and gently pinched a handful of plum berry's cheek meat, "Also, remember to take your dad to water the field at night, you know?" ”

"Oh!"

Plum Berry Meimei was reminded by his mother like this, but she remembered that the crops in their field were dying of thirst.

On the other end, the old house of the Mei family.

"Dad, are you really going to be forced into labor?"

As soon as he finished eating, Mei Dahu looked pitifully at the old man Mei who was sitting on the threshold looking at the moon.

Old man Mei also looked down at his son who was squatting aside, and sighed helplessly.

"The names are all reported. Ming'er, you ask your daughter-in-law to cook you some food, pack it up and take it with you. This time it's nearby, not far away. I'll ask your daughter-in-law to go see you when I'm free. ”

Old man Mei took the cigarette stick again and took a hard sip of dry tobacco, and the words were already very clear.

But Mei Dahu still didn't give up, and asked tentatively: "I heard...... Out and out of the silver can be worth ......"

"Five taels of one!"

Old man Mei directly broke Mei Dahu's delusion and said, "Every year, you can take out five taels every year?" Sooner or later, you're going to have to go into forced labor, do you want me to take an old bone for you? ”

"No, no, not this once. But, it's so hard to be forced into service...... "Mei Dahu red-eyed, he has really never participated in forced labor for so many years!

"I've heard them say that it's hard to be forced into labor, and every time someone dies, it's so hard...... Isn't this the death of a son? ”

Mei Dahu never thought that he would one day participate in conscription, just thinking about him was scared.

"The second and third children have participated in so many conscription before, and they haven't died, so don't scare yourself. Besides, there is no silver left at home. ”

Mei Dahu was stunned, when the family bought four acres of land before, his father told him that there was no silver in the family, and the four acres of land would be left to him when he was a hundred years old.

I spent all that silver to buy land, and in a short period of time, it would be difficult for a strong man to come up with another five taels of silver.

He opened his mouth, and finally only sighed, he slowly lowered his head, and said in a somewhat depressed tone: "It's my son who is incompetent......

After Mei Dahu finished speaking, he originally wanted to accept his fate like this, but he heard his mother say: "Boss, don't think so, your younger brother still has to study in the autumn, and he also needs silver~."

Right now, there really isn't so much money at home~"

Mei Dahu: ???

So, it's not that there is no silver at home, but there is no silver for him?

Old man Mei: Lao Tzu said so much in vain!!
