Chapter 3

Xu Qing came early, but the vegetable sellers in the street came almost as well. Farmers don't have the habit of sleeping in. Moreover, there are exquisite families in the town who like to buy vegetables earlier and buy fresh eggs. Xie Amy's eggs are recently saved. People with a clear eye can see that they are fresh and full. Before long, they were bought by a woman and bought 20 eggs for 30 Wen

, it also needs fresh eggs to get this good price. Generally, it's 25 Wen. Xie amu bought a good price and was in a good mood. "Go, brother Qing, what do you want to buy? Let's go!"

Xu Qing was also infected by Xie a's happy atmosphere. His unconscious tone was a little excited. "I want to buy piglets, chickens and...," OK, let's take our time and follow me. " Xie a Yao looked kindly at Xu Qing, who was thin and weak in front of him, but his eyes didn't consciously glow, and took him to the place where he sold piglets.

"Now it's the end of winter, and the piglets sell less. Let's take a chance and buy those with long spirit. If not, come next time. Don't worry. I'll pay the price later. You're young and inexperienced. You can learn more. It's not easy to suffer losses in the future." Xie a Yao told Xu Qing as he walked. Looking at Xu Qing's head nodding like a chicken pecking rice, he was more satisfied. He was a good brother.

Now that I can think of going to the market, I'll really let go. When I grow up, I have to see which man hasn't married his daughter-in-law and lead brother Qing, otherwise I can't wait until brother Qing is twenty-one. Xie is a little worried, because in this world, if he is twenty-one and twenty-four, he has to listen to the government and get official matching! That's not a good destination. People waiting for official matching can't find brothers. They are either lazy men or disabled!

Xie a Yao looked at Xu Qing, who stretched out his neck and looked at the market curiously. His heart was soft. He was still like a child in his twenties. He had to talk to brother Qing another day. I think he would make such a big change when he thought of the official allocation and walked out of the village.

Being dazzled by the eyes of various ancient architectural fans in the market, Xu Qing doesn't know what Xie amu is thinking. He doesn't know that there are official matching rules in the world. Otherwise, he won't be able to eat and sleep, and he's not in the mood to look at the antique house in front of him.

They had good luck. They happened to have several spirited piglets. Although they were small, they were spirited enough. As long as they took some care to raise them, they would be able to develop a big pig. Because the piglets were sold by the people in the village of Xie Amy's mother's family, and they also had some friends, so the original 650 yuan piglets were also given a discount of 600 yuan.

Xie Amy took advantage of Xu Qing's giving money to the master and pulled over the master's daughter-in-law, Liu Mei, "Hey, help me pay attention to something. Look at those honest and down-to-earth men in Jixiang village who haven't married yet. Lead the line for my little nephew!" Liu Mo looked at Xie a Mo's eyes and just saw Xu Qing's side face lowering his head to pay for the money. Although it was white, there were obvious red pimples on that face...... "this is the one of the Xu family?" Xie a Yao gave Liu Mo a horizontal look, "why, you are the same as those people with shallow eyelids!"

"Hey, what are you talking about! It's up to me. At these times, many people from the village came back to perform military service. Many of them didn't mention others! " Xie said hurriedly, "you have to take a good look. I'll close my mouth then!"“ Don't worry, don't worry, wrap it on me! "

"Xie, what are you talking about?" After paying the money, Xu Qing made an agreement with the boss, the man of Liu's family, to lead the piglet again after buying other things, and then saw xie'a and Liu's talking together“ Ah, no, it's just that I haven't been back to my mother's house for a long time. I want you to take a message to my family, right? "

Liu Meiyao immediately answered, "yes, yes, little brother, you go shopping first. I'll tie the pig to one side alone and come and pull it when you're finished!" Xu Qingyi quickly thanked him. Although he talked to the boss, the boss's wife raised it again, which made him more secure in his heart.

"Why are you staring at people's backs? That guy is ugly, but he is still a good boy. " The Liu family man looked at his daughter-in-law and stared at Xu Qing's back when they left. He was a little puzzled, "bah, bah, bah, what's ugly or not! Stay away! Annoying! " While chasing the annoying man in her family, Liu Meiyao began to find out which man in the village had a more down-to-earth character.

Under the leadership of Xie a Yao, Xu Qing quickly bought salt and a seasoning similar to pepper. When buying clothes, Xie a Yao grabbed Xu Qing, "what clothes to buy! Let's do it ourselves! It's much better than buying. " Xu Qing is stunned. He can't do it! Looking at Xu Qing's small face of "what to do if you can't do it", Xie a mo was a little funny: "pull the cloth up, ah Mo, do it!" Xu Qing quickly waved his hand, "how can this be? It's too troublesome."“ What's the trouble? That's it. " Xie a Yao pulls Xu Qing to pick out the cloth suitable for his brother's color in the store.

Xu Qing thought about it and pulled La Xie's sleeve. "Then Xie, you make clothes for me. I have to calculate your salary, or I won't let you do it for nothing." Finally, with Xu Qing's repeated insistence, Xie a Yao reluctantly agreed. He just thought that when the clothes were ready, he would not accept brother's money. While Xu Qing asked the cloth store owner a little about the price of clothes when Xie a Yao picked the cloth, and he also had a number in his heart. "Come on, brother Qing, come and see how these pieces of cloth are."

Xu Qing walked over and looked at the three pieces of dark blue, light purple and light green cloth selected by Xie a Yao. He touched it. "Well, although it's linen, it's not bad." He won't buy any silk cloth. It's not eye-catching and inconvenient to work. He hasn't had any hardships in the end and won't choose from east to west. Three pieces of cloth is 60 Wen in total. If you buy a finished dress, it is 50 Wen, which is not cost-effective. "You know, you can't help spending the money. You have to be careful.

”Xie a Yao looked at Xu Qing's face and joked, "yes, I didn't expect that there was so much difference between the finished product and the cloth. By the way, Xie a Yao, I also want to buy some chicken and pork." After Xu Qing sighed, he immediately remembered that he hadn't bought all the things. He immediately said, "now the sun is coming up. It's almost noon. There are no chicken sellers. Anyway, my family will hold the chicken right away. Come to my house at that time."

Xu Qingyi listened and looked at xie'a with a smile. "Then I'll sell it at the price in the market, otherwise I don't want to."“ All right, all right. "“ I want fifteen chicks! " Immediately put forward their own requirements, which surprised Xie a Mo, "so many, can one person do it?" Xu Qing patted his thin chest with his hand, "of course, I'll give you one to try when it's enough!" Xu Qing's appearance also made Xie a Yao laugh and said, "then Xie a Yao can wait!" After saying that, Xu Qing immediately appeared a look of "I'm very satisfied" and was happy again.

People who passed by them wondered, "is this little brother ugly? He smiles sweetly."

After Xie a Yao and Xu Qing bought a kilo of pork, they took the piglet and hurried to the place Uncle Li said“ Here, here! " From a distance, I saw Uncle Li of Xu Qing. Looking at Xu Qing holding the piglet, he drove the donkey cart over, "Uncle Li, why are you alone here?" Xu Qing wondered. When he came this morning, there were a lot of donkey carts parked here.

"Oh, brother Qing, you don't know. Today is the day when the men in military service return home!" Xie a Yao thought Xu Qing had forgotten, so he explained the reason to him. He didn't know at all. He just didn't know, "yes, so the donkey cart pullers have run several times. I also ran several times to see you here."

Uncle Li is in a good mood. He pulled a few more times today and made some money to buy delicious food for his daughter-in-law and children to make them happy; Put the piglet on the donkey cart. After sitting down, Xu Qing asked Xie a Yao with some guilt, "Xie a Yao, you know I don't go out often. In this dynasty and above," Xu Qing pointed to the sky with his fingers, "who are they?" Xie a Yao didn't doubt anything, but felt that Xu Qing was open and people became more lively, "we are the great Qin Dynasty, the son of heaven is in his prime, and the tax on our people is good......"

Xu Qing thought, it seems that the "Qin Dynasty" is not the Qin Dynasty in ancient China, "how can there be military service? Isn't the world peaceful? " Xu Qing was worried. He didn't want to wear into an era of war. "It's not. It's the practice of several dynasties. I don't know why." Xie amu didn't know why, but it didn't matter to them, so he gave Xu Qingpu some knowledge about military service.

This dynasty recruits military service every five years. Every family must have a man to go in. People who have served in military service do not need to go in for 15 years. If there is a couple of husbands in the family, the children they can have are brothers. The man in charge of the family who has also served in the military service can pay taxes instead. When he was born, Xu Fu went to serve in the military service and didn't come back until he was five years old. Until Xu Qing was fifteen years old, when Xu Fu died, their family paid taxes every five years instead of military service. Now Xu Qing is twenty, and it will be twenty-one in two months. All the men who served in the military service have returned this year, Xu Qing was relieved. He was only one person, and he was still a brother. It seemed that he had to find a way to make money for future taxes.

Uncle Li sent them to the fork road in the morning. After helping Xu Qing dish the piglets and things, he drove back in a donkey cart. After Xie Amy put down the things, he helped Xu Qing drive the piglets to Xu Qing's pigsty, and then went back. Today, people in the village who went to military service looked at the children of five years. When the men returned home, they were all full of joy. This afternoon, I saw a curl of cooking smoke burning in the village. Xu Qing watched the meeting, closed the gate of the courtyard and prepared to make lunch.
