Zeng Laosan, who also came back from a casual worker, heard this and looked at Zeng Laosan next to him.

"Big brother." He approached Boss Zeng and was about to speak, but he saw his eldest brother speeding up and walking forward.

"Oh, big brother, wait for me." He chased to the edge of the pit before blocking Boss Zeng, "Why don't you send a message home and let your sister-in-law come over?" ”

"I know that if you want to say this, they are all men, she is a woman here, does she still have to live?"

Zeng Boss tried to bypass him, but was still stopped by Zeng Laosan, "Big brother, didn't I tell you, there are several women on the night shift."

I always go to drink porridge in the dark, and I often see those women, and I talk to them.

They were originally displaced people from Beishan County, and they lived in the westernmost pit, and I think they are living well, and they haven't been treated well. ”

Boss Zeng pushed him away with one hand, "You don't understand, the most important thing in a woman's family is the name, come here to live with so many men, and you will be drowned by the spitting stars in the future." ”

"What is the most important festival, I think it is the most important thing to live happily." Zeng Laosan followed behind his ass and said, "Sister-in-law has a hard time at home, don't you know, your second sister-in-law at home still shows her face every day, can you have a good life without her?"

My mother is now partial to the second brother and never helps my sister-in-law to speak, we used to work outside, and my sister-in-law has nothing to eat at home.

Big brother, big brother! Don't you feel sorry for your sister-in-law? ”

Boss Zeng dusted off his clothes, "Mother won't watch your sister-in-law starve to death." ”

"I don't think I'll starve to death." Zeng Laosan continued to persuade without giving up, "Calling my sister-in-law to this place can also make my sister-in-law full."

It's very well guarded here, so I don't think there's any mess.

No matter how bad it is, let's go and beg the guards to put the sister-in-law to work next to you, can't we two brothers protect the sister-in-law? ”

The last sentence moved Boss Zeng, if you can come up here to work, although you are tired, you may be full, and you can save food for your family.

Boss Zeng: "Can the guards be moved?" ”

"Gotta ask."

Boss Zeng mentioned his courage, but when he saw the whip, he instantly gave up, "Forget it, don't come to such a place." ”

"You don't ask, I'll ask." Zeng Laosan walked over to the guard.

Boss Zeng immediately followed, "Come back, you don't want to die!" He lowered his voice and scolded after him, but Zeng Laosan was iron-hearted and ran fast, so he didn't let him catch up.

"Stop!" The guard shook off his whip, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zeng Laosan still had a momentum just now, but now when he saw the guard, he immediately knelt down and shrunk into a ball like a mouse who saw a cat.

But the words still came out, "Master Bing, I want to ask something." ”

"Say!"

"When the conscription notice said that women could come if they wanted, was this true or false?"

"Of course it's true."

At this time, Zeng Lao Boss knelt behind Zeng Lao San and grabbed his cotton clothes.

Although Zeng Laosan was afraid, he still insisted on asking: "Then if a woman comes over, can she be in a group with her men?" ”

Boss Zeng also looked at the guards expectantly.

"That can't be." The three words of guard directly dashed Boss Zeng's hopes.

But the guard's words were not finished, "Women are naturally in a group with women, where can they sleep with men?" Are you kidding. ”

Boss Zeng's heart of hope was instantly resurrected, "Women and women? ”

"So what's not? Can men and women have the same strength? When they come, they only do lighter work such as digging and transporting soil, and they have to be managed separately.

Besides, the people who come to work are all good girls from good families, where can they mix with you men? If we are taken advantage of by the cheap, and get angry and seek death and life, doesn't it make it difficult for us to do it? ”

The tone of the guard's voice was still as if someone owed him two taels of silver, but the words he said were heartwarming.

His voice was so loud that not only the Zeng brothers could hear it, but also everyone nearby.

If this is the case, men and men are in a bunch, and women and women are in a bunch, so what are you afraid of, and you are not a lady from a noble family, you can't look at it at a glance.

In winter, I can't go in and out, but I can come here to eat for two months, and my family can save a lot of food.

"Master Bing!" Someone nearby said, "My woman is a good hand at farm work, can she come?" ”

"Of course you can."

"Can you give me a leave? I went home and brought her, my home is in Yangmen County, very close. ”

"I don't need to give you leave, tomorrow the three shifts will be replaced, you will be on the morning shift to the middle shift, after the twenty-second morning shift is dismissed, you will not start work until the twenty-third hour, you have twelve hours of free, and you can go home when you have time."

When the servants who were standing nearby heard it, God! And such good things!

I've never heard of a person who can go home for a day of rest during hard labor.

Zeng Laosan looked at his eldest brother in surprise, "As soon as we get off work tomorrow, we will go home and pick up my sister-in-law." ”

In the crowd, someone hid behind and asked, "What if someone runs away?" ”

The guard said: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, your name and address are all on the desk of the county master, if someone really doesn't return when it expires, it is the family who suffers." ”

Someone hurriedly said: "Such a good millet rice is eaten, I won't leave if I chase me, where will I run." ”

"That's right! That's right! ”

"After scattering, go back to the pit to rest, pat the ashes on your body, and then you can go to eat later."

Zeng Laosan thought that he would be able to go back after work tomorrow, but he didn't sleep well all night, and when he went to work the next day, he was in bad spirits, and he was whipped by the guards.

Fortunately, it was thick in winter, but the smock on the outside of the cotton jacket was torn, and the person was not injured, but he was scared.

The fear also woke up, and nothing went wrong after that.

It's easy to stay up until the end of the day, Zeng Lao didn't plan to eat even the rice, so he wanted to pack up his things and go home quickly, but Zeng Laosan pulled people back, "Big brother, don't worry about this moment, let's take the rice back and leave it to my mother and them, they can eat several meals when they cook porridge." ”

"Yes, you still have a chance."

Boss Zeng went to eat with his luggage, and most of the people waiting in line for dinner were like him.

The two brothers had eaten a meal, and they only ate two or three bites, and they were about to put the rice in the package, but the guards of the same group saw it and said, "I have eaten my fill first, and then I will take a bowl of rice back." ”

The servants in the stove looked at the guards who spoke.

The guard held the dishes and chopsticks in a high voice, "Our group has done a lot of work today, we want to bring an extra bowl of rice to go, you can ask the soldier who is cooking if he agrees." ”

The left big head in charge of the stove room tapped the edge of the pot with a spoon, "I promise you." ”

The servants were so happy that they shouted, 'Good man, soldier'.

Some people even took the opportunity to ask: "Is it okay to bring two bowls?" ”

Immediately, a soldier in charge of cooking scolded: "You still want to bring back a pot of rice!" ”

The servant who was so happy that he was about to float immediately returned to his honesty.
