The cold is deep, but the hearts of the people are hot, and thousands of people gather together, and they don't feel afraid to travel at night.

The guards still sent the people to Yangmen County.

The city wall of Beishan County has not yet been built, and now this entrance and exit of Yangmen County is still regarded as the first gate of the border gate, and if there is no official document, the people of Pingtou cannot enter and exit at will.

Zhang Yuan held high the customs clearance order and shouted to the officers and soldiers guarding the city on the wall: "Zhang Yuan, the chief of Beishan County, is ordered by the magistrate of Beishan County to send the servants home to visit their relatives." ”

A crack was opened in the city gate, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city came out to check the number of the people.

When the Zeng brothers returned to the village, it was already an ugly time.

The dog in the village barked again, and at the same time, several children who were watching at the entrance of the village shouted, "My father and mother are back!" ”

Half of the houses in the village opened their doors, and the elderly and children came out to find their families in the crowd.

The person who came back fished out his own child, took off his shoes and slapped him on the ass several times, "What time is it, still outside the house!" ”

"Didn't Dad say he was coming back today!" The more the child talked, the more aggrieved he became, "I got up early and waited here, and you didn't come back until now." ”

Mrs. Zeng is also looking for her, she is old and her eyes are not good, so she only follows the people in the same village to move forward, but it is pitch black, and she can't tell who her son is.

"Mother!" It was Zeng Laosan who saw her first, "Big brother, my mother is here." ”

Mrs. Zeng patted the arms of her two sons, "Are you all right?" ”

"It's all good." The two brothers spread their hands and spun around, "It's all right." ”

"Where's the plum?" Mrs. Zeng asked.

"It's a long way, she didn't come back." Boss Zeng said, "Go home and ...... again"

"Auntie." A woman with a child came over, "Meizi is weak, if she has to walk for three hours on the way back, she will definitely not be able to support it, maybe she has the strength to walk back and has no strength to walk back, and when the time comes, it will delay the affairs of the court, and the whole village will be implicated."

We all advised her to stay there, anyway, there was no need to worry about food, and the eldest mother should not worry about her. ”

"You belong to the White Song family?"

"yes."

Mrs. Zeng said, "Thank you for taking care of my plums."

Sister Wanjin waved her hand and said, "Hey, I can't take care of it alone."

Fortunately, a group of people from our village and the next village are all familiar with each other, and they must take care of each other. ”

"Yes, yes!" A stronger woman next to her said louder: "Those of you who didn't go don't know, the guards over there are very humane, and deliberately let the women of one of our villages sleep together, and put the people from the next village and us in a group, and they are all people who know each other when they work." ”

"Don't talk about you women, it's the same on our men's side."

"Hey, it's the same now?" The strong woman said aloud, "I used to hear you say that you worked hard and shed a layer of skin at the end of the day, but now we women have also gone, and we are digging and picking up soil like you, and we are not as scary as you say." ”

Immediately, some men disagreed, "You women do different work than us, don't ram, how hard it takes to ram up." ”

"Not so." Another man said the key, "This time the labor is different from the previous one, just say that we were requisitioned to Weishan County to repair the city wall a few months ago.

It was really hard, I had to eat or talk, I had to work for six or seven hours a day, and if I couldn't do it, my movements were a little slower, and the guard's whip would come down at that time. ”

This is true, in the final analysis, it is different from the official who is in charge.

There are few county lords in Beishan County who are so generous, let us eat and sleep enough. ”

Some of the people who came back chimed in, "This official who has just arrived is a rare good official." ”

The children listened ignorantly among the adults, paying more attention to the package.

There's millet rice in there.

There are children who can't wait, so they put their hands into the package and pick the millet rice inside to eat.

Sister Wanjin picked up her child, "Let's go, go home and give you a hot meal." ”

Ji Chunmei listened to it outside the crowd, "I knew I was going." ”

She pushed the uncertain and dangerous things to Meizi, and now that she knows the benefits of Beishan County, it is too late to think about it.

When it was dawn, she went to Lizheng early in the morning and said that she was going to work in Beishan County.

Li Zheng said: "You didn't go last time, but this time it's late." ”

"What does that mean? Isn't there a constant shortage of people? ”

"There used to be a shortage, but there were so many people who went with me last time, and all of a sudden it was full. A few days ago, there was an official order from above, and there was no need to levy it in various places. ”

Ji Chunmei was lost at home, and when she entered the door, she had a plan.

She found Mrs. Zeng and discussed with her that this time she would follow Mrs. Zeng and them to replace the plums.

"Is that okay?" Mrs. Zeng asked.

"What's wrong with this, her health is not good, didn't the eldest brother say last night that she fainted over there, why don't I go and replace her back."

Mrs. Zeng thought that if people fainted again and were driven back, and there was one more mouth to eat food at home, it would be better to let Chunmei exchange the plums back.

After Boss Zeng woke up, Mrs. Zeng told her two sons about it.

Before Boss Zeng could say anything, Zeng Laosan jumped up first, "Mother, why do you always listen to her!" If a person is already on the official register, is it because we say that we will change it?

In case someone finds out, our family is going to have a lawsuit! ”

Mrs. Zeng rubbed the wrapping cloth of the two brothers, "Is it so serious?" It's all a family, and when others asked, they said that she was a plum, and the government couldn't find out, right? ”

"Mother, what you said is too easy, you don't know what is going on here." Zeng Laosan pushed Zeng Laosan, "Big brother, you can say something!" ”

"Tree, my mother is also thinking about the family, in case the plum can't move, call someone back."

"What the third said is true." Zeng Boss said, "The Yangmen side is checked, and the number of people is counted every time you enter and exit, and someone brought a well digger last time, but he didn't tell the guards in advance, so he was picked up by the guards and reprimanded."

If Harumi goes along, she will definitely be found out. ”

Mrs. Zeng compromised, "Ouch, then this won't work, find out and make you suffer." ”

"Mother, you really can't listen to your second sister-in-law for everything in the future." Zeng Laosan stood in front of Mrs. Zeng, "You don't know what's so powerful here, you listen to her nonsense, she always lied to you about how good it is, but she doesn't tell you what's wrong with it."

Mother, listen to me.

Even if the guards are blind, let us bring the second sister-in-law over and replace the sister-in-law, but how can you ask the sister-in-law to come back alone? Without people from the government, she couldn't enter the city gate of Yangmen County at all, do you want her to die outside?

Where is the eldest sister-in-law not as good as the second sister-in-law, you don't like her so much. ”

"You kid, I don't know what's going on inside." Mrs. Zeng explained, "They are all daughters-in-law, what do you like or dislike, but something happened to your second brother, so I took care of it more." ”

"Mother." Boss Zeng said, "It's because I didn't take a good look at the second brother, I will compensate him, wait for Meizi to come back, don't always let her be wronged." (End of chapter)
