On November 20, the day of service arrived.

The men of Taoshui Village all went to the dam in groups, listless, full of fear of the labor life that was about to begin.

The weather is getting colder and colder, although he has been raising for half a month, his body and bones are not necessarily strong, and when he thinks of going down to the river, Ye Lao Er can't help but shiver.

Xiao Li felt sorry for her husband, and secretly took thirty yuan to Ye Lao Er, "Be in charge, you have to be careful, don't work so hard, be lazy if you can." ”

Ye Lao Er nodded, holding the thirty coins in his hand, his eyes were red, "I know, Zhuyu, you go back." ”

When they go to serve, many families will give some money to their bodies, just in case, when it really comes, this money is life-saving money.

This time the service was difficult, but Ye Li said that his family was in difficulty, and he only took ten copper plates to him, and Ye Lao Er knew that when the third child went to serve and build roads in the autumn, Ye Li gave fifty copper plates!

There were only ten copper plates in his turn, and Ye Lao Er was really a little chilled.

Xiao Li couldn't help but reddened when he saw him like this, "I'm waiting for you to come back at home, you must come back, come back safely!"

Ye Lao Er nodded heavily and sniffed, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Xiao Li held Ye Laoer's hand and was unwilling to let go, this was the first time her husband went to serve in the cold winter wax moon, and one of Xiao Li's cousins went to the river to serve in this cold weather to build water conservancy, and finally froze his leg, and he could only live in bed for the rest of his life.

Xiao Li was worried that Ye Lao Er would be like this, but she couldn't say it, and even as soon as she had this idea in her mind, she immediately dispersed it.

"I'm leaving. Ye Lao Er broke free of Xiao Li's hand, "It's cold, you go back." ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Xiao Li followed two steps with tears in her eyes, and finally stopped under the big yellow horn tree at the entrance of the village, and could only watch her husband go farther and farther.

The woman who said goodbye under the yellow horn tree is not only Xiao Li's alone, one woman is equal to five hundred ducks, and a group of women is tens of thousands of thirty thousand ducks.

Although the husband or son felt uncomfortable when they left, it did not affect the interest of the women in gossiping.

"I said Xiao Li, why is it still your second child this year?" Meng looked at Xiao Li's puzzled face, the man in his family is an only son, so he can only go to Meng Dalang himself every year to serve, but the Ye family is not, even if Ye Zhengwen is separated, shouldn't the second and third children come in turn?

When Meng Shi asked, the other women also remembered, and they also asked curiously: "Yes, why didn't the third child go?"

"I'm afraid it's not your mother-in-law who is partial to the third child, so let your second child replace the third child. "Zhang's truth.

Although Xiao Li was not satisfied with the decision of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he still smiled stiffly and explained: "No, it is his third uncle who really has something to do and has taken over a big job, with a salary of 500 yuan." ”

Everyone knows the style of Ye Laohan and Ye Li, so even if Xiao Li is telling the truth, everyone insists that Ye Laohan and Ye Li are eccentric about the younger son and let the second son top the cylinder.

Xiao Li didn't continue to explain, she was also angry in her heart, and the women talked about her mother-in-law and father-in-law, and she could be more comfortable.

The women chatted and chatted, and when Ye Zhengwen drove the ox cart to the Yellow Horn Tree, it was just dawn, and Xiao Li, who was about to leave, stopped when he saw Ye Zhengwen.

"Text, you went to the county so early. An older woman said pleasantly.

Ye Zhengwen nodded, and Ye Yunshu also picked up the quilt and leaned out.

"Yun Shu, why didn't your little attendant be with you today?" Zhang looked at Ye Yunshu alone in the car, and joked happily.

Ye Yunshu smiled, "I suffered from the cold." ”

"Ouch, this is for you to be raised by a girl's family. Zhang pouted, "Your Erlang is also here, why do you want to recruit a burden? ”

Ye Yunshu narrowed his eyes and smiled, but did not answer.

"Uncle He. Xiao Li's yin and yang were weird, "Why didn't you go to this service?"

In fact, Ye Zhengwen doesn't go to serve, everyone knows it, after all, there is a job in the county, and if he goes, he will lose his job.

But this year's agency silver is so high, how can Ye Zhengwen pay it back?

Ye Zhengwen's old face turned red, and he was about to speak, but Ye Yunshu had already spoken up, "Second aunt, didn't the third uncle go too?"

Xiao Li only felt a stab in his heart, held back a sullen breath, and teased: "Doesn't his uncle still owe ten taels of silver to the restaurant?

Ye Yunshu smiled sweetly, "That's right." ”

Zhang's eyes widened, and he asked Ye Zhengwen: "It's all over?!"

"Yes. Ye Zhengwen nodded unnaturally.

Now the women are all frying one by one, how long has it been since Ye Yunshu went to the county to do business? It's only three months, and the ten taels of silver can be paid off in full? Is the money of those people in the county so easy to earn?

"Tiger girl, how much silver can you earn this month?" asked Zhang curiously.

Ye Yunshu replied vaguely: "Not a lot." ”

Zhang's pouted, hum, small, and sold with the old lady, and then went to the county to ask, don't you know?

"The silver that my father paid off the debt was given by Xiao Mingting of my family. Ye Yunshu smiled, "My stall is also the idea given by my Xiao Mingting, he has a wide range of knowledge and many ideas." ”

Hmph! Let you look down on him!

Women, you look at me, I look at yours, I am even more curious about Xiao Mingting, this skin is good-looking, and rich, how can he come to the door to be a son-in-law?

"I said don't be fooled. Xiao Li's family is still yin and yang, "This person is rich and good-looking, he shouts in the county, and there are many girls who want to marry, hum, come over, maybe you have some idea!"

In the past, Ye Yunshu and Xiao Mingting were always together, and it was not easy for them to say something in front of people, but it was rare that they didn't see each other this time, so they couldn't help but say more.

"Yes. A woman nodded, "Before I got married, there was such a thing in our village, but it was a woman, and when she got married, she didn't have a round house, so she stole her husband's things and ran away." ”

"Ouch, it's a cheating marriage. Another woman also chimed in, "There is also a family in our village, a family from other places, saying that they can't get by, so they want to marry their daughter out to ask for a bride price, and the two days after the marriage said that the body is not suitable, but the person is very diligent, and the husband's family did not look at it, but I didn't expect to run away with the family's money in two days, and there is no place to find it." ”

"Tiger girl, do you know the identity of your fiancé?"

"yes, yes. Meng nodded in agreement, "Yun Shu, you have to see this clearly, don't ...... it when the time comes."

Meng Shi stopped as he spoke, feeling that the next words were a bit inappropriate in front of Ye Yunshu, a girl who had not yet left the pavilion, so he turned around and talked to Chen Yunniang.

Xiao Li followed Meng's words, "Don't let people occupy your body for nothing, people pat their butts and leave, you can cry at home by yourself! ”

"Look at what the second aunt said. Ye Yunshule said, "At this time, I don't know who took advantage of whom." ”

As soon as the words came out, the women immediately fell silent, and they all looked dumbfounded.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Ye Yunshu was immediately satisfied, and turned to Ye Zhengwen and said, "Dad." Let's go. ”

After saying that, he got into the ox cart.

Ye Zhengwen felt that his old face really had nowhere to go, glanced at everyone, and said embarrassedly: "That...... We went first, gone. ”

When Ye Zhengwen drove the ox cart away, Zhang muttered: "Is this tiger girl so strong now?"
