Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 81 Teaching

  The system searched, and said: "In history, there is a rule that silver is used as a substitute for service. As long as you have money, you don't have to go."

  Man Bao's eyes lit up, and he told her parents about this good idea.

  Lao Zhoutou and Qian Shi didn’t understand how she knew this after slept.

However, Lao Zhou felt that this child had always been smart, as she only thought of it, so she said: "We don't have so much money in the family. Are people like us who can use silver to serve? Even the village chief's house can be used for military service. ."

Qian was more attentive to Man Bao and explained in detail: "I heard that you can marry a daughter-in-law with the money you spend for one service. For a family like us, it will take at least four to five years to earn enough money to marry a daughter-in-law. It’s still a lot of people in the family to save this kind of money. If you change your grandfather’s generation, marrying your father a daughter-in-law will cost half of your savings."

  Man Bao was instantly distracted and cheered, "Father, it turns out that you have spent all your grandparents' money by marrying your mother."

Man Bao has never seen her grandparents, but during the holidays, especially during the Qingming Festival, parents often mention them to them. In the words of her father, this is to remember the ancestors. People can only remember their ancestors. Do not forget the original.

  Keko said, this is called ancestor worship.

  Large families record the deeds of their ancestors in the genealogy, and future generations can trace their ancestors by reading the genealogy. But most people pass on the deeds of their ancestors through word of mouth.

  There are not many people who can record deeds into genealogy or genealogy.

  Man Bao had secretly made up her mind when she heard it. After she learned more words, she would write down her parents' deeds in the family tree, so that her parents would be the first deeds of their family's ancestors.

  Man Bao likes listening to the stories of ancestors the most, so he looked at her parents with a small face.

Qian knew what she was thinking as soon as she looked at her bright eyes. He couldn't help but nodded her nose and smiled: "Yes, even if you spend all the money, you don't have a lot of gifts. Your mother, I will have to enter the door. Live a hard life."

  Lao Zhou turned his head to please her with a smile.

Looking at Man Bao’s bright eyes, Qian also brought back some memories. He said in a daze, “Actually, it’s okay at the beginning. It’s just bad luck. It’s not a few months since I got pregnant with your eldest brother. First, your grandfather went to serve, but your grandfather got sick, and your father went to take over. At that time, the county grandfather’s election day was even worse. It was catching up with the busy season. Your grandfather was sick. Your father When I’m not at home, I’ll go to the ground with your grandmother with a big belly, and just plant all the land in our house.”

  Old Zhoutou couldn’t help but said, “Most of the people who served in the service at that time had to go for half their lives. That was the county grandfather... alas~”

  Man Bao is very curious, "Father, what do you all have to do in service?"

  "Dig soil, repair water conservancy, and reinforce dams."

  She was a little puzzled, "Are you more tired than doing farm work?"

"Why is that the same?" Old Zhoutou said: "I work at home, take a break when you are tired, go home to fill a bite when you are hungry, and take a rest under the shade when the sun is big, and wait for the big sun to be less toxic. Go to the ground when you are too poor. At home, it’s so poor that you can drink water and eat a piece of bread to serve. It’s not just what you want."

  Old Zhoutou said: "If you have to go to work early in the morning, you can't spare too much effort. If you are too **** foreign workers, you will be beaten down by the whip of a bad official."

"Eat early is basically a small piece of pie. Don’t talk about hard-working adults like us, even a little baby like you can’t get enough to eat. Everyone has to bring their own dry food and eat them together, but there are also people who are poor. The dry food we brought was not thick enough, so we could only save food. How many people fell on the dam because of this province."

To Lao Zhou, the reason why the service is always dead is one aspect of the tiring life, but there are also a lot of hard work. Besides, when spring planting and autumn harvesting, in order to win the sky with God, everyone also It's not that I'm not tired.

  In the final analysis, I still can’t rest and eat shortly.

  When they grab the sky again, they avoid the most venomous hour of the sun, and if there is enough water, the food at home can be eaten as much as possible for people who land on the ground.

  Lao Zhoutou finished speaking, looking down at the girl with clean eyes, he felt that he and the child had said something that shouldn’t be said.

   So he patted her little head and said, “This is an adult’s business. You children should go to school.”

  Man Bao was a little bit low when he went to school with a small bookcase on his back. She felt that the county grandfather was very bad. How can there be any reason to work and not feed people?

  Before, her brothers went to build houses for the villagers, and they took care of their meals.

  Bai Shanbao stopped Mulang for a whole day yesterday, so he was extremely happy. His mother made him a delicious snack, and he specially left two yuan for Manbao.

  He gave the snack to Man Bao and said, "Your sweets are also delicious."

  Then looked at her blankly.

  Man Bao took the snack and ate it. Because he was worried, he didn't hear the overtones of his words and nodded perfunctorily.

  Bai Shanbao was unhappy when he saw this, but he couldn't ask Manbao to give him candy, so he asked, "What are you thinking about, isn't Xiu Mu happy?"

  Man Bao sighed like a little adult: "My third brother is going to serve."

  Don’t look at Bai Shanbao who knows more than Manbao, and he reads more books than Manbao. He really doesn’t know what service is.

   So he asked, knowing that service is the duty of all families, he scratched his head and said, "Does my family also have to serve?"

  Man Baoli said as expected: "Of course, how many males are there in your family?"

  Bai Shanbao said: "Just me."

  Man Bao looked at him sympathetically, "Then you are pitiful, you have to go to the military too."

  Bai Shanbao is a little worried and excited. There is a feeling that I am an adult, but the unknown is scary.

  Bai Shanbao said: "I have to go back and ask my grandmother."

  Man Bao disgusted, "That will take a long time, let's ask the husband. The husband knows a lot of things."

  So the two children went to ask Mr. Zhuang.

  Mr. Zhuang did not expect that the two children’s attention span was so wide that they had already paid attention to labor. After thinking for a while, he sent the two children back to study, and decided to give them the answer at noon.

  The two children ran back to study.

  At noon, Mr. Zhuang took the two children into the yard to eat while turning on a small stove.

  If you want to talk about labor, then you have to talk about taxes, talk about national construction, and talk about the county magistrate’s political performance inspection, etc...

Of course, the two children are still young, and Mr. Zhuang did not follow the text, but told them for example, "The country is like a big family, and you are also a member of the big family. You eat, drink, dress, and house, right? Someone has to work to help you build the rice you will eat, the water you drink, the clothes you wear, and the house you live in?"

  This is very simple and easy to understand. The two children nodded again and again.

  Mr. Zhuang touched his beard and smiled: "Would you like to give these workers money?"

  The two children continued to nod their heads, they also understood the truth.

Mr. Zhuang simply said: "That's it, and the country is the same. It requires people to do work, so you have to give money, and if you want to give money, you have to have money first, so we have to pay taxes; it also adjusts resources, such as the eldest son's house. After the disaster, the second son’s house is full of grain. As a mother, she will take some grain from the second son’s house and give it to the elder son, so that his family can tide over this crisis first..."

  Mr. Zhuang started briefly with the state’s institutions, and briefly mentioned the previous ones. He only elaborated more when he talked about the post of county magistrate, so he talked about taxes and labor.

  Manbao and Bai Shanbao both listened with gusto, and soon forgot the time.
