In the early morning of visiting the cold village, smoke was rising.

Every household cooks with firewood and scolds children at home for working or eating less.

Chicken, ducks and geese ran out in groups.

There were also three or five old men who gathered under the tree stump early in the morning, chatting while waiting for the meal.

These are all old men who are not too poor in the village, chatting about which grandson at home has entered the city.

It’s another annual slack farming period, and it’s better to go to the city to find odd jobs and work to earn a few coins than to be idle at home.

The old men in the family who are in a little difficult situation have no time to talk to others. They are sitting on a small stool at the door of their homes, with a sad face, thinking about the quota for corvee labor that will hurt the farmers' families the most.

It is necessary to let any kid in the family go, and not to let anyone go. Such a big thing ultimately requires the pillars of every household to make up their minds.

Since this incident happened, it can be reported that a certain family has quarreled and fought in the village every few days.

Zuo Lizheng has been very busy recently.

While we have to be busy with mediation from each other, countless people are splitting up.

On the one hand, they had to bite the bullet and urge them to pay the bank and pay the capitol tax, or to decide which strong laborer should go to the corvee service.

Always give him a list or money as soon as possible.

According to what the officials who came to report last time, today the officials will come.

Look, he was worrying about the labor service early this morning, and he didn't even stop having breakfast.

One of the Zuo surnames is not close to Zuo Lizheng. He was standing in the main hall of Lizheng's family, holding his sleeves with warm hands and blushing his eyes and said, "Fifth Master, my family really can't get rid of the pot, and I can't make up money to pay for the captive tax even if I sell that broken house. But you also know the situation of my family. Dalang disappeared two years ago, Erlang's body was weak in the fetus. Sanlang, Sanlang, I really can't bear to leave either he or I go."

Zuo Li was said to have no appetite, so he put down the porridge bowl and looked up at the man: "Are you here to borrow money?"

"No, no," he dared not borrow it.

There are borrowing and repaying, just like the one who did the pawns dared to borrow money two days ago.

If someone dares to lend it to him, he can also be confident and open his mouth.

But in his own situation, one is that he is not as thick-skinned as he can't open his mouth and borrow fifteen taels of silver from the fifth master. The other is that he can't be blind after borrowing this account. He always has to pay it back, so what can he pay it back?

So, he is here:

"Fifth Master, can you please tell me good things? I took Sanlang and Erlang in poor health to work for the pawn family. Isn't his family anxious to make wine? It's short of staff.

Don't worry, the three of us can do any work. If the mother-in-law, who is a man, dislikes our Erlang for being useless, the three of us will give two of us money to work.

You don’t have to pay, just be an intermediary and ask your son to lend me the corvee cap tax this time. I promise to help their family work more during the three years of slack farming..."

The left li is raising his hand to interrupt.

In recent days, he has been in such a conflict.

I have to worry and worry about helping the left-handed family block these things, but I feel a little proud.

Proudly, when some people in the village ask who was going to collect labor service in the paozi family, he always hears Xiuhua say, "What are our family recruiting? My son-in-law is designated to be at home." When he hears this, he smiles in his heart.

Yes, corvee levies are nothing to do in the eyes of Xiuhua girls.

No matter how worried others are, they can’t talk to Xiuhua. They don’t have common topics, so there is no need to discuss them. They don’t worry about this.

When the girl Xiuhua said that, she could tell that she had already deprived her true nature. She was afraid that others would be jealous. She was kind and sympathetic. Otherwise, with her temperament, she would definitely look straight at others and say: "Just pay the money, what a big deal."

So he was very proud that after suffering such a thing, his pawn family could not worry about it, and he didn't need to hold the money to come to the door to make decisions, and he didn't feel worried like other families in the village.

I also worry that many families in the village are thinking about working at the pawns.

"One or two want to go to the pawns, but what does he pay the cap tax for you? One household is fifteen taels. Do you think that his family will buy grain and make wine. How many more can his family help? This is about whether he is not surnamed Zuo. Can you trust you? It doesn't matter whether I come forward to persuade you. It's hard to be a pawns. He doesn't have that many, so how can he help."

Zuo Lizheng continued, "I know that there are always people who are gossiping behind the scenes of Zuo recently. The mother-in-law, who is particular about pawns, would rather help poor boys in other villages and promised to pay corvee money to them, and would not help relatives in the same village. But why don't you think about the people who pawns mother-in-law want to help her family, what are you doing for her family recently? When something happened to her family, what did you help pawns? That Erzhuzi, I heard that he had wanted nothing for a long time, and had been working behind the eldest son-in-law of pawns for nothing."

In fact, Zuo Lizheng also picked people and said these words.

The man in front of him is an honest and honest man and didn't want to take advantage of him. He then explained the reason and told him not to misunderstand the pawns. He tried his best to think of a solution. Don't worry about helping with the work and will help your family pay.

Some people are unreasonable, and they can take out money at home, but if they still make up for this, they will not even bother to talk nonsense.

Those who are using a house as odd jobs for a family? In the next three years, there is no need to go to the city to find a job. Now there is no need to empty the family's assets, no need to sell the land, no need to scatter the waist or break the air, can solve the problem of corvee labor.

It's easy to calculate.

However, he can't get through here, so don't worry about the pawns and the others going home and coming to cry.

No one owe anyone.

Why don’t you dare to borrow money from him?

If one or two people really have that kind of good character, even if he can imagine that he will not be able to pay back the money within three or two years, he will help him.

Zuo Li was picking up the chopsticks again: "Go back, before the list was handed over, go to Yangshu Maozi Village to find your father-in-law and mother-in-law again to think about the tricks, and to see if you can lend them a few taels. In addition, if you are still short of three or five taels of silver in the end, you will come back and I will lend you. Don't worry about the work of the pawn boy. He can't help too many people. If you are empty, you may have to pay credit for the food and money you make. It's even harder for him, ah?"

"Fifth Master."

The old man named Zuo, who was visiting the door, immediately turned red in his eyes, and was so moved that he couldn't stand and almost kneel down. Thanks to the eldest son who was standing next to him, he helped him.

Therefore, when it comes to the big event that the boy in the corvee family may not come back once he goes away, someone can help him borrow three or five taels at this critical moment, which will make people remember their kindness for half a lifetime. Then, the left-handed family helped so many boys to pay them all, and this early morning was destined to be different from the situation of other families in the village.

The second master of Erzhuzi came up early.

He has nothing. He doesn't even make the cheapest corn cob wine, the corn cob.

The family is too poor.

We also have to take into account the ideas of the family.

The old man could only carry two bags of pigs and vegetables to deliver them to his door.

In this season, it is difficult to find wild vegetables for pigs, which shows that they have used their hearts.

Xiuhua took two bags of pig food, poured them into the yard, and gave them the sack:

"Don't bother you. There are so many things at home. If you fall down when you look tired and Erzhuzi comes back and sees you, he is a scheming person and he has to guard you. To be honest, he can't work for my family. Are you grateful?"

This is a drag.

Xiuhua relies on her peers with Erzhuzi's grandfather and her words are not very nice.

The main thing is that the second master of Erzhuzi in front of me is very old. This old man has been walking dozens of miles every morning to deliver wild vegetables, but he doesn't listen to any advice. He has been persuaded to do all the good things long ago.

The master of Erzhuzi, the thin old man smiled at Xiuhua in a naive manner, said nothing, and turned his head and left without even drinking water.

The old man knew in his heart that people were speaking unpleasantly on purpose, but he just didn't want him to come again.

In fact, my heart is not saying anything. This family is so kind.

If you help his family this time, it would be equivalent to saving his grandson's life. You will live a safe and stable life without going to work in labor. It is not better than anything else. It is not exaggerated to describe it as saving a life.

Not to mention the hard work of sending some wild vegetables, he, the grandfather who was incompetent and could not protect his grandson, even in front of Zhu Xingde's junior, he would be given the gift of saying something grateful to him.

And in the yard.

Shuisheng's parents even made them not eat, so they just kept their heads on working. They ate pig food, feed pigs, pull grinds, grinds the grain for making wine, and chop firewood.

I have never seen it for the show, but I have to persuade me to eat.

As for Jin Zi's wife, she didn't even boil hot water in the morning, saying that she was useless, and she snatched her clothes by the well and washed her clothes with cold water.

He also told her children privately to eat less and give them delicious food to Miss Tianshui. We are here to work. What Grandma Zuo gives you, don’t take it.

Jinzi's wife is grateful to the Zuo family in her heart.

I always feel afraid whenever I think of levying labor.

If the Zuo family hadn't helped pay the cap tax and had it handed it to their village forehand yesterday, then the gold would be destined to be levied this time.

Because the family knew two acres of land, her father suffered a disaster last year. Jinzi carried her on her back and sold two acres to help her. In other words, even if the remaining land was sold, it would not be enough. Jinzi was in labor service and only her and her children were left in the family. It is still unknown whether her man could come back in three years. If the man was really exhausted outside, could she afford to raise her children? What would happen?

The Zuo family helped pay the money yesterday, which was equivalent to saving the lives of her family of three in the eyes of Jinzi’s wife, and helping their family change their destiny. They are extremely grateful.

"I'm not hungry, grandma."

"If you don't eat, aren't you causing trouble for my house? Jinzi is helping my house outside. When you go home, you see you are tired and falling in my house. You're not asking me to sit on wax."

It’s so amazing that I am so arrogant these days. I’m just like this every day. I’ll be persuaded to eat more and eat less, and I’ll be advised not to stumble to my waist.

She is most annoying to say some sluggish words.

"If you sincerely thank you, I will say it again last."

Before Xiuhua could get angry, she laughed while sitting in the room with a quilt sewn in the bed, and whispered what Xiuhua's grandmother said recently, it's better to be loyal. No matter how poor or rich you are, you will be loyal. What's better than anything else, and you must be like a slut.

At this moment, the voice of an old lady came from outside. It was Chang Xi's grandmother who came. Lancao stopped smiling. She thought a little, put down the mattress that she had repaired for Xiuhua's grandmother, and raised her ears and heard Chang Xi's grandmother say, "I'll give you a few salted duck eggs. I'll tell you, girls, they're all oily, and you'll make up for your two granddaughters. Not much, don't push them, just four."

Grandma Xiuhua said, "I ran dozens of miles again."

Afterwards, as the sun rose in the yard, the Zuo family yard became more lively.

Zhu Laosan’s wife Li came back. Since the accident happened, Li and Lancao have been helping with wine making work at Lao Zuo’s house. They both need to go wherever they need to go, making some food, washing clothes and helping to make wine lees while making wine.

Today, Li got up early in the morning and went to Xiaodou's back garden to slash the vegetables and pulled them down the mountain. Xiaodou and his fourth brother and sister Xiaodao are both pregnant, and Li usually travels far away.

Xiaodao greeted: "San Sister-in-law, hurry up and wash your hands and have a meal."

Li waved his hand and said, "What are you going to eat? Take this dish quickly. Why do I see that your second sister-in-law has arrived? Are those people they?"
