Tianshui hugged Xiuhua's neck and asked, "Grandma."

"Ai."

"When will my dad come back?"

"What? I miss your father." Xiuhua used a veil to wipe the baby's face. After wiping, she pinched a candied fruit and stuffed it into the child's mouth, teasing her great-granddaughter:

"I used to say that no one was playing with you at home. Now I have a brother Zongzi and a little brother at home. The girl in the village also came to the door early in the morning and shouted, "Sweet water. After a day, you are even busier than me. Why do you still miss your father? Didn't you say that you don't miss him? You are not good to you and have hit you on the butt."

Tianshui shone with her big eyes, and she felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She held candied fruit in her mouth and hugged Xiuhua's neck even tighter, preventing her grandma from looking at her face. She seemed to be embarrassed.

Xiuhua thought that the baby would talk back at most, "Then I miss my father too", but she didn't expect that after a while, sobbing sounded, which scared her.

Why is this child so rich in relationship?

How old is the kid?

A few days ago, the chicken at home was strangled to death by the thief and cried. After all, after hearing the child's words, he buried the chicken under the roots of a big tree, and even burned paper money for sweet water. He knew everything.

Later, Xiuhua was coaxing and cheating and calming down.

Later, Xiuhua took advantage of the inattention of sweet water and dug out the chicken buried under the roots of a big tree, but did not dare to take it home, so she roasted it on the small hill at the entrance of the village. That day, Zuo Lizheng caught me.

Look, you can think of your father and cry again.

When Magnolia heard the crying, she came into the house and saw it, she was also shocked, thinking that the child was in pain: "What's wrong?"

Tianshui was sitting cross-legged on the kang, crying and saying, "I have never seen my father for so long, and she was still burping. She picked up the candied fruit that accidentally cried on the kang and stuffed it into her mouth." All the saliva flowed out.

Chewing and crying.

Xiaodao rushed over, and when she saw her daughter crying, she didn't forget to eat, she smiled and said speechlessly: "Your father is coming back soon."

"really?"

"real."

...

Zhu Xingde, who was thinking about his daughter at this time, was filled with great love.

He rode on his horse, looking at the privately dug iron ore, and could not see at all, and his numb faces.

Zhu Xingdehuai took the local book and cooperated with the army to arrive. The scene that caught his eye was that he saw another corvee laborer who was exhausted and carried by others, and was about to throw it into the mass grave.

"drive."

Zhu Xingde squeezed the horse's belly hard and rushed forward with his sword before the army.

He rode his horse and took the lead in capturing the remnants of the thieves in Liang.

Zhu Xingde kept churning in his heart.

If there was no reminder of that dream, or if there was a little bit of a break, he might have been confiscated by the corvee labor force again. He always felt that the scene where these people in front of him were working numbly was the fate of him, his father-in-law, second brother-in-law and second Zhuzi.

The more uncomfortable the dream was in his heart, the more bloody the long sword in his hand was.

The deputy general who led the team glanced at Zhu Xingde who was rushing to the front.

It doesn't work without paying attention.

As he walked over, Zhu Xingde was bald and old, and he always felt cold when he looked. But now he was too brave.

When Zhu Xingde rushed forward without hesitation, there were two more horses behind him, and he followed without hesitation.

Erzhuzi cut one by one, and he almost forgot what De Ge said to keep some survivors.

The first slashed the human head, and blood spurted out from his big neck splattered his face.

Liuzi took the initiative and loudly reminded the corvee workers to squat down to avoid innocent machetes, and then kept waving their long swords.

——

Recently, the atmosphere in Yongdian County has been solemn and a little thankful.

Rows of important criminals in Liang thieves were brought back.

The team that escorted prisoners included soldiers from the court and officials wearing the official uniforms of Yongdian County.

The people stood by the roadside and threw stones and mud at the prisoners.

The people often hear uniform running sounds.

You know without asking, it must be the official who is handling the case.

Whenever I see a row of officials sending yamen run over, I will consciously give way to the road.

There are four pharmacies in the county town, and all the clinics are full of people.

The doctors and the medicine boys get up early and go to bed late to treat them.

It is said that there are not enough doctors in the city, so they have been mobilized from all towns and villages.

The two entrances to the county town are busy checking from dawn to dark, and the time to close the city gate is delayed.

Because recently, many rural people have entered the city.

There is a poor person who can't even take a ride, so he just walks with a crutch for days and nights before he arrives at the county town.

There is an aunt who is crying blindly.

There was the man with a white head, and he cried as soon as he entered the city and asked a few words.

The purpose of these people was to see if they were taken back to the corvee service and whether there were any family members who were enlisted that year. They came to pick up their children home with a glimmer of hope, and wanted to know if the boy who was enlisted was still alive.

Therefore, the majestic county government office even built an oil cloth shed for the arrival of these people.

Zhu Laoer is among them, he is a recorder.

At this time, he was asking the crying aunt: "Which town and which village are from, what's your name?"

After the aunt said the name, it was still a nickname. It was obvious that the child was only weak when he was conquered. Before he could even get a serious name, Zhu Laoer began to search for the names he had been brought back to the corvee service.

After checking, there was no.

Zhu Laoer has been a country man for so many years and feels very deeply.

Sometimes it’s not that the family members are cruel or partial, and they can’t be called that. The biggest possibility is that they really have no money.

If a person is really poor, he will not borrow money from others even if he wants to.

When I was conscripted and corveted, I had to push one up.

The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. I watched my children be caught but I had to grit my teeth and endure it. After all, there was no money to pay the capitation tax, and the whole family could not be arrested. Alas.

In addition, if any family does not cooperate, they are already poor and cannot complete the task by the thief from above. The family will look at you, and then their family will be bullied everywhere in the village.

Zhu Laoer opened his mouth and had to tell the truth: "No."

"Sir, my old lady kneels down for you, please show it again and check it out again." He knelt down as he said.

Zhu Laoer has been accustomed to this scene these days, so he quickly stopped him.

Facing such an old mother, although he had already practiced experience, he still felt uncomfortable.

Every time he couldn't find it on the list of living people, he would feel heavy with his family.

Every time he found out on the list, he felt relieved and showed the joy of reunion with the other party's family. Then he quickly helped him warmly and told the person which clinic he was living in.

The more people they receive, the more homesick Zhu Laoer misses him these days.

Suddenly I miss homesick.

In the past, he didn't think he should be grateful to his grandfather and what is there to be thankful to his grandfather and grandchildren. He always thought that he was good to him and that he should be given the right amount to support a family.

Only then did I realize that I was in my thirties and suddenly realized that it was a blessing for him to be a member of the Zhu family.

Even if the Zhu family is not a wealthy family, they can still take it out when they really have to pay the money for labor.

With this alone, their Zhu family boys are lucky than the better ones.

The old man next to Zhu Laoer's table suddenly fainted excitedly because the recorder on the opposite side told him: "Your grandson is still alive."

The more excited the old man was, Zhu Laoer on this side was so uncomfortable looking at the old lady who was crying in front of him.

One joy and one sadness, the contrast is too strong.

He said mechanically:

"Leave the name of the pillar of your house in your town and village. In which year did you get enlisted? In the future, officials will be sent to the village to find your house and give compensation. Next."

It’s not that he is cruel, but that he has no hope, so don’t be delayed. There were so many queues later.

Today is another day that I have to be busy until late at night. I sit outside and record, my hands will be frozen and numb.

However, no matter how good he is, he is better than his third brother. I heard that his third brother's feet were frozen in guarding the city gate, even better than his cousin Zhu Xingde.

His cousin was busy and didn't even bother to drink hot water.

Zhu Xingde lifted the curtain of the clinic and planned to patrol it.

A boy who had recovered from treatment pointed at Zhu Xingde and said to his family: "Dad, it's this captain who went to rescue me."

"Sir, just kowtow if you ask me to kowtow." The old man stopped Zhu Xingde and cried and insisted on kowtowing him.
