Chapter 148

Early in the morning, a team of laoding went upstream to intercept the river and had to dig ditches to divert some out. Now the river is slowly decreasing, but it can't be completely cut off. But people can stand in the middle of the river.

They have to clean up the scattered stones and unbroken soil in the river before building a dam.

The county government estimated that it would take about 20 days.

Zhou Silang looked at the shore, but he had to move stones bigger than people with people, and put aside the garbage and soil cleared from the riverbank. Only one day, he had bleeding marks on his shoulder, but he was also easier than the people in the river.

People standing in the river should not only clean out the stones, but also be careful of the slipping of the soles of their feet. Ten people have fallen today. One fell very hard and couldn't get up while sitting on the ground.

So on Thursday Lang didn't dare to cry at all, and Zhou Erlang looked at the time to frighten him, "see, it's lucky that you changed, or you'll have to do such hard work outside if you gamble and get kicked out of your house."

Zhou Silang shivered and asked tearfully, "second brother, why are you scaring me?"

"It's not to scare you. Think about it. How many brothers in our family can be the same as Dachong family. If you lose the bet, you sell girls and sons, and you still want to sell mothers-in-law. Do you have sons and daughters?" Before going out, Qian said that he would marry the fourth man when he went back, so he had to frighten the fourth man completely, so as not to harm the family in the future. So how frightening did Zhou Erlang say, "it's impossible to sell your nephew and niece. In addition to you, my parents have five sons. They don't lack sons."

Zhou Erlang stuffed a steamed bread into his hand and motioned him to see those people squatting by the river to eat dry cakes and unwilling to buy a bowl of ginger soup. "If you are driven out, you can't even compare with them. They still have a home. At that time, you will work hard outside and can't go home when you are sick and tired."

On Thursday, Lang really cried, "second brother, I really don't gamble. I gamble that once. I don't believe you ask old five. I haven't even entered the gate of the casino in the county during this time."

Zhou Dalang said, "OK, don't scare him."

I have to work later. Who's scared?

Zhou Silang was wronged. He chewed the steamed bread and drank the broth. There was a lot of ginger in the broth. There was a faint spicy taste. The hot belly directly made people sweat.

Basically, everyone who went into the water bought a bowl. They also noticed that this thing was good. Some people envied thurlang. "Your brother really loves you and specially came here to do business."

Some people couldn't see it, but sneered and said, "if you really love him, you shouldn't let him serve. Isn't it more painful to come for him? I said Thursday, you haven't got married and have children? How old is it this year? "

Zhou Silang said dully, "my family is just. The service comes in turn. I'm eighteen."

Some people doubt, "your boy is eighteen? Can't it be a false age? "

Zhou Silang was depressed. "What about my six brothers? Does it seem necessary to falsely report their age?"

In order to be assigned to Ding Tian more quickly, some people will falsely report their age after the child is born and report two more years old, so that they can divide Ding Tian at the age of 16, but they forget that Cheng Ding not only has to serve in the army, but also may be conscripted, so few people really do so.

There is no shortage of men and Ding Tian in the Zhou family, so there is no need to falsely report their age.

When I heard that Zhou Silang became a young man this year, someone moved in his heart and asked, "are you married?"

On Thursday Lang blushed and said, "No."

Someone laughed, "now that you're married, you should get married. Has your family spoken to you?"

Someone said bitterly, "it's not easy to talk about marriage with so many brothers in the family. Now I'm married and I need four or five liang of money to thank the media?"

"Haven't you seen other people's brothers do business? Can there be less money at home?" These two days, I watched Zhou Dalang's business get better and better. Today, even the dishes came out, five Wen two spoons and three Wen one spoonful. Many people bought food.

Although they don't know what the cost is, the cabbage and radish are planted at home. If the meat costs a little money, it shouldn't cost much.

Many people don't say it, but their hearts are like fire. Especially in Jiangding village, they want to run home and talk to their family immediately.

However, if you are in the charge of the Yamen service, you can't leave without permission unless you have a half day rest once every ten days. Once you leave the camp and are judged to be fleeing service, you will die.

On Thursday Lang bowed his head and didn't speak.

As we all know, this is not a kiss. The person who mentioned this topic squatted next to him, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm not young. It's time to kiss. I have a sister who looks good on the 15th of this year. I'll let you see her later?"

Zhou Silang said dully, "my mother is the master of my marriage. Brother, it's no use asking me."

"Why is it useless? You got married. What do you like? Your mother has to ask?"

Zhou Silang was silent. He was supposed to ask. At the beginning of last spring, he was only 16 years old. A few months later, his mother asked him what he liked.

Of course he likes beautiful.

Then his mother asked him to do a good job. She performed better during spring planting and autumn harvest. She asked someone to marry him. Last year, he did work very hard. He was divided with his third brother during autumn harvest.

As a result, he lost his head and gambled, and the marriage talk turned yellow.

Originally, he should have married last year. He should have married years ago. His brothers were married at the age of 17.

Alas, the family still has to build a house. I don't know how many years it will take to save enough money for him to marry his daughter-in-law. At this moment, Zhou sirang was really sad. He felt that he had the trend of becoming an older man.

In the countryside, women are also very selective about men. For example, if they are over 20, they are old singles, and they are generally not very popular.

Zhou Silang, who often followed his friends, felt a sense of crisis when he remembered that they secretly called those young and old bachelors in the village who could not afford a daughter-in-law.

This sense of crisis continued for several days, because almost every day someone asked him, what kind of girl do you like on Thursday?

On Thursday, will you listen to your daughter-in-law or your mother?

No wonder people always tease him, because among a group of workers, only he is not married, and even some people directly discuss marriage with Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang, or recommend their own sister or daughter.

Zhou Silang became a pastry, but he was not happy at all.

After man Bao came to see him, this depression reached its peak.

Because man Bao brought him a candy and emphatically declared, "fourth brother, this is the happy candy that nephew Daliang asked me to bring you. He is engaged and will get married before the new year. He said it was to let you touch his happiness."

Zhou sirang:

Daliang is a little friend of thurlang, commonly known as a fox friend and a dog friend. Of course, his seniority is low. He is the man who grew up with thurlang in the village this year. His uncle came to serve this year, and he stayed at home to get married.
