Chapter 80

Man Bao ate the last grain of rice in the bowl, touched his stomach and said, "Mom, I'm full."

Qian ate slowly, reached out and touched her protruding belly, smiled and said, "go play."

Man Bao then had time to care about their accounts. "Mom, what about the money for selling snow grass and yam?"

Qian said, "your eldest brother took it to buy you cotton and cloth."

Man Bao was stunned.

On Friday, Lang and others raised their heads. He bit his chopsticks and looked at man Bao tearfully, hoping that she could argue with his mother for their interests.

But this is impossible. Man Bao has not clarified the relationship. He scratched his head and asked, "why do I buy cotton and cloth?"

"Your clothes are short, and you have entered school again. Seeing that it is going to winter, how can you make a new suit? If the money is not enough, I would like to make another one for you."

Man Bao was not stupid. She broke her fingers and calculated the money from selling yam and snow grass. She said, "there are twelve hundred Wen. It's all spent?"

"No, your share has run out." Of course, Qian won't deceive the child on the price. What if the child becomes stupid in the future?

So she said, "twelve hundred Wen is not all yours. Don't you still score your big brother's money after you pay it to the public? There won't be much left of you. "

Man Bao calculated and found that it was true, so she didn't care. Anyway, her attitude towards money has always been like this.

On Friday, Lang couldn't help asking, "where's our mother?"

Qian glanced at him and said nothing.

Lao Zhou raised his head and said, "you? Are you interested in asking for money from your family? You're going to marry a daughter-in-law in two years. Don't you want money to marry a daughter-in-law? After that, you will give all the money you earn to your mother. When you become a family, you will have a private house like your brothers. "

On Friday, Lang murmured, "the fourth brother hasn't said a kiss yet. How can I be so fast?"

Speaking of this, Lao Zhou looked at Lao Si and asked, "Siro, how are you driving?"

Zhou Silang, who was eating hard, raised his dark face and said, "the roots of the trees have been dug up, the stones have been picked up, and now he begins to hoe."

Old Zhou tou nodded, "these two days, let old five and six help you. You're not young. It's time to learn more skills. In two days, the new old lady white wants to build a house and has begun to recruit workers in the village. You also go. The salary is thirty Wen a day, which is more money than carrying grain bags in the county."

Old Zhou tou has decided that his four eldest sons will go, while old five and six will go to the field to open up wasteland for old four and strive to earn another sum before the new year.

After dinner, he specially recruited man Bao and asked her to calculate for him how much money her four brothers could earn at home for a month.

It's easy to calculate. Man Bao thought of one thing and said, "I'm going to serve this year. The third brother can't go for a month. I'll calculate it again."

The adults of the Zhou family were stunned. Old Zhou grabbed her hand and asked, "what are you talking about, serving this year?"

"Yes," said man Bao, "it will take a month from October 22 to November 21."

Old Zhou tou: "who told you? Just got to our village? "

Qian and others also sat up straight.

On Friday Lang said, "the chief hasn't come down to inform man Bao of the notice he saw at the gate of the county government."

Old Zhou tou touched his waist again. He didn't touch the cigarette. He simply stuffed the empty cigarette gun into his mouth and didn't speak for a moment.

Zhou Dalang asked man Bao, "what's on the notice?"

Man Bao always has a good memory. Although he can't repeat it completely, he also said 7788.

Zhou Dalang understood and said, "it's not a draft, that's all households in the county. There are many people. No wonder they only go for a month."

"In winter, it's enough for people to go for a month," old Zhou said. "The county master is really true. What a good time to serve after the autumn harvest. Why do you have to choose after winter? It's cold and hard to dig the soil. "

Qian closed his eyes and said, "this is the business of the county masters. We can just worry about ourselves. Third, go to work and spare some strength. If your body can't stand it, don't force it. Report it and let your brothers replace you. "

She said, "you're not the only man in your family. You have many brothers. Just come in turn."

On Wednesday, Lang Yingxia.

Qian said to Xiao Qian again, "from tomorrow on, cook more grain, make up for the old three for a month, and keep the body better and live."

Little Qian answered without complaint, which is also the tradition of the Zhou family. Whoever's turn to serve every year should be raised in advance for a period of time.

But in the past, they received the news late, usually only ten days in advance.

How terrible is service?

Not to mention Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang, old Zhou tou, who hadn't served for many years, couldn't help shaking when he remembered the days when he served in his youth.

The atmosphere of the Zhou family tonight is a little dull. Man Bao is still young and can't remember many things, so she doesn't know why everyone's mood is so low after serving.

But she was clever, didn't make trouble, and didn't ask much. She just lay down in front of her parents' bed and looked at them at night.

Qian touched her little head and said to old Zhou, "military service is a big deal. Now that we know, we'd better go and talk to the village head tomorrow and let him inquire about it to see if it's true. If it's true, the people in the village can make preparations earlier."

Old Zhou responded with silence and said, "the dry food for old three should be thicker."

Qian whispered, "I know."

Seeing man Bao looking at them with round eyes, Qian smiled at her and said, "don't worry, your third brother has always been in good health and can come back safely this time."

"Mom, aren't you going to dig water conservancy and build roads? The village also often digs water conservancy and builds roads. "

Qian said, "that's different. When we build roads in the village, we fill pits. When we are free, we go to work. Our home is where we turn around. How can it be the same?"

Water conservancy, let alone digging a few hoes in the spring.

"The service in the county is different..." but as for the difference, Qian didn't tell man Bao. No matter what she asked, she smiled and said, "you're still young. You'll know when you grow up."

Man Bao toots his mouth and turns to ask Koko.

The system went to the encyclopedia museum to search, but also became silent. After a long time, it said, "in this era where the host is located, the historical records are very bitter, and the dead are normal."

Man Bao, an agitator, hurriedly asked, "will my third brother also die?"

"Military service is voluntary labor. Although the county government will distribute some food, the quantity is very small. It mainly depends on the food brought by itself," the system said. "Moreover, October is winter, which is the coldest time of the year. Once people get sick, they are easy to die."

Man Bao immediately worried, "can the third brother not go?"
