When? In times of war! 317 To join the army

Yes, now there is land! Where there is land, everything is there - land is hope!

Qian Yichuan's family has a Ding man, a Ding girl, and a big cow. According to the rules of the Rock Fort, every man over the age of fifteen was given forty acres of open land and had to grow grain. Women over the age of 15 shall each be granted 20 acres of open land. Ding cattle over the age of four years, each head of 20 acres of open field, a household limit of up to four cattle.

This big cow, Qian Yichuan didn't want it. He felt that it was not easy to take the things of the official family, and he couldn't tell how he would pay off the accounts in the future. But don't do it, you can't help it, first, they are homeless, and they don't have their own home

Only later did they learn how the families who received their cattle from the government would have to pay back -- an extra five liters of grain per mu per mu from now on. After knowing this, Qian Yichuan's heart settled down. In his opinion, the extra five liters of grain per acre of land is not much. With his years of experience in farming, he can see that with the fertility of this black soil, the yield per mu is not much less.

Thinking of his eighty acres of fertile black land, Qian Yichuan sighed softly, full of comfort and satisfaction.

This day, I will be able to get better in three or five years.

As he was thinking, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside, approaching this direction. You can hear from the footsteps that this is a man who is in a hurry and acts neatly.

When Qian Yichuan raised his eyelids, he could see a woman walking in from outside. The woman is in her thirties, tall, wearing a green cotton jacket, although her face has experienced vicissitudes, it can still be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young. Her lips are a little thin, and her whole body is very clean, and she looks like she is neat and lean.

With a strong fishy smell on her body, she stood at the door, raised her right hand with a smile, and said very proudly: "Master, look at what I brought back." ”

Qian Yichuan looked over and saw that she was carrying a hemp rope in her hand, and the end of the hemp rope passed through the cheeks of a fish, the fish was very fat, and it looked like it weighed more than ten catties, as if it was still alive, and flicked its tail from time to time.

"That's good." His face moved, revealing a hearty smile.

"There are a lot of fish caught today, and in addition to the ones that are in storage, many of them have been distributed."

Zheng said, suddenly saw a little strange on his man's face, and suddenly understood what he meant, and glanced at him: "What do you want?" Everyone has it, let me tell you, people care about this matter, that Wang Yu is a family person, and he knows the price all day long. ”

Qian Yichuan hurriedly waved his hand, a little hurried: "I didn't say anything." ”

Zheng said that in his mouth, but in his heart he was sweet, that is, his own man, and he has always regarded himself as a treasure. That's good!

"Okay, let's get out of the way, let's eat fish today." Zheng smiled: "You must have not been stained with meat for a few days, right?" ”

The kitchen is the outer house, there is a stove in the corner of the wall, the stove inside is connected to the fire kang in the inner room, there are a lot of firewood piled up between the stove and the wall, some old houses, living for a long time, this place often has a big snake to get in and entrench, people will not drive away when they find it. All kinds of utensils on the stove are quite complete, and the pots and pans are all hair-topped.

put the rice in the pot first, and beckoned Qian Yichuan to go in and serve the fire. Zheng came out with a wooden basin, scooped water from the large urn under the eaves, and squatted next to it to kill the fish and remove the scales.

Qian Yichuan's house is located in a good location, it is the highest point in the middle of a mound, higher than other places, and in front of the house is a slowly downward slope. Qian Zheng dug a shallow small ditch from the courtyard, that is, half a foot and three inches deep, but with this, whether it is the stagnant water in the yard or the daily domestic sewage, the water is easily discharged directly to the outside and slowly seeps into the ground.

Zheng was doing his work and talking at the same time. Qian Yichuan just nodded, his head sullen and silent. Zheng is also used to his stuffy temperament, but he keeps saying there that the parents are short, and the daily work is her topic, and she can't be idle.

After a while, a delicious aroma came from the room.

Zheng is very neat with his hands and feet, and he is a good housekeeper, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the meal is ready.

She made steamed fish, which was not fried, but steamed. Generally speaking, frying is to preserve the shape of the fish, but in fact, if the fish is steamed at the right temperature, very fresh fish can be kept in shape without frying. Another aspect of frying is that the fish is not fresh, and it has to be steamed and eaten, and it can be fried to remove the fish.

The fish had just been fished out of the water for more than half an hour, and naturally it was fresh, and Zheng did not fry it because he was reluctant to put oil. All in all, steaming is the most time-saving, the most trouble-free, and the lowest cost.

His family didn't have a table or a pestle, so the two of them squatted next to the stove to eat. It's nothing, once upon a time, their biggest wish was to be able to eat a full meal, and now the wish has upgraded to a full bite every day. A large steamed fish was placed at the foot of the stove, and the husband and wife each served a large porcelain bowl filled with white rice.

There are no big rules in his family, only the husband and wife are left, and they have always eaten together, and they will not eat until the woman eats like other households.

Although there are no condiments, the fish is very fat, very tender, very fresh, and more importantly, the couple don't know how long it has been since they have eaten such a delicacy. I put a bite of fish in my mouth and almost swallowed it with my tongue.

Zheng vigorously pouted a large piece of meat from the fish and put it in Qian Yichuan's bowl, and soon, Qian Yichuan's bowl was hung with tips. She scooped some fish soup herself and poured it into the bowl, acting cautiously, for fear that the fish soup would be spilled, and then ate a mouthful of fish soup and soaked rice, chewed in her mouth for a long time before swallowing it, and sighed comfortably: "The days of the gods!" ”

Qian Yichuan didn't answer, but just put some fish meat in her bowl.

"You eat, you eat, eat more meat. I'll just drink some soup and rice. Zheng enjoyed Xianggong's thoughtfulness very much, but he was reluctant to eat, so he took it back and said with a smile: "There are ten days before the big man selects soldiers, you eat more these days, and your body is stronger, and you can be selected when the time comes." ”

"This fish, I will eat 20% today, and I will put it under the eaves and freeze it after eating. Tomorrow, as soon as it's hot, you can eat it. Not to mention enough to eat for two days, and finally the fish bones can be boiled again, and a lot of soup can be produced. Zheng planned carefully, she looked at her man, and her face was full of longing: "If you are chosen, then our family will have a better life." You eat the public middle school, there is no cost, you can get back a lot of grain every month, I have the work in the fishing ground, we may be able to save some grain, and when we save the wheat harvest, we will beat the grain, and pay the imperial grain, we can save a lot. Leave the ration seeds, sell the rest, and buy some belongings. Look here, there is a lack of oil and salt, you don't even have a pestle, and you don't have any work in your hands, don't you have to do it? ”

"Hey, did you hear that?"

The woman leaned over mysteriously, as if she was afraid that her neighbors would hear her: "When I was working today, I heard that those who become soldiers can get a homestead from the city, and those who have money can build a house on it." That's a great thing! Although we have to pay our own money, if we can move into the city, we will be city people! The house must also be built, and the outside must be covered with bricks, and the roof must be reinforced......"

"Even now, we don't have a single store in Rock Castle, and I don't know who to sell the things we sell in the future, and where to buy them...... It's a thing......"

The woman had a smile on her face, looking forward to a better life, and the more she talked, the farther she went.

Qian Yichuan didn't want to be a soldier, it wasn't that he didn't look down on being a soldier, but he had a natural fear of being a soldier and going to the battlefield in the army. It's just that his wife said happily, and he didn't dare to interrupt, and after a while, he held back a sentence: "If I become a soldier, what can you do alone?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Zheng waved his hand: "It's not that I can't do rough and heavy work, and I have cattle, be diligent, what are you afraid of?" Besides, people say that when the farm is busy, what will they call you? Oh, the holidays, rest, can come back to help. ”

Zheng said, suddenly his voice paused, his eyes became sharp, he stared at Qian Yichuan, and said spicily: "What, don't you want to be a soldier?" ”

"I didn't ...... Not. Qian Yichuan hurriedly said: "I'm just afraid, I can't be elected." ”

"Why are you so good?" Zheng stared at him, and suddenly his eyes turned red, and tears fell down his eyes. She sobbed lowly: "Don't you look at it, what is the life of our family now?" Why don't you bother? What's going on on me, a woman? Now that these projects in the city are almost finished, and there is almost no work to do, what will you eat in the future? Being a soldier is an iron rice bowl, and you can have meat without worrying about food and clothing, how good is it? Why don't you want to do it? What are you waiting to do if you are not a soldier? Let's starve to death together? ”

"You're also a seven-foot man, what do you look like you're strong? Do you know how hard to work on the old lady? ”

Qian Yichuan lowered his head and didn't speak, obviously a little afraid of her.

Zheng cried for a while, vented, and felt much better. Seeing that he didn't dare to reply, he snorted coldly, and didn't pay attention to him anymore, just lowered his head and picked up the rice. After a while, Qian Yichuan asked in a whisper, "Who did you listen to?" How do you know how much is this? "Miss Zhai! It's the one who took us women to take a shower and cleanse ourselves when we first came. Zheng said: "She said that she has nothing to do now, and she catches fish with us all day long." I heard that people are only sixteen this year, so a big girl born with a water spirit and a fairy daughter, can kill more than a dozen horse thieves, why don't you even dare to be a soldier? Look at people, and look at you! ”
