My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

"Are you three not sleepy, do you have to talk about those things now?"

"Mom, we're not sleepy." I've already been stimulated soberly, if you don't tell me, we will only be unable to sleep even more.

Mrs. Xu looked up at her three sons and sighed.

In fact, she knew it well.

The work these three people do outside is to dig out the sewer.

Probably because he was hired as a short-term corvee, otherwise he wouldn't get so much wages back home.

Why do you say you will earn more doing this?Sewers and modern times here are two different things.There are septic tanks that can discharge sewage in modern times, and workers at least have protective masks and gloves. She guessed that they would not drink so much "brine" containing bacteria in their stomachs.

What's here can't be called sewage, but brine, and all kinds of maggots will crawl in from the mouth and nose, and it is particularly dangerous.

Because reinforced concrete is used in modern times, the sewers here are fired and spliced ​​with ditches. When a large amount of sewage discharges, especially when it rains heavily these days, it will collapse as soon as it is said, and people will be washed away along with various sewage. Tried to salvage the whole body but couldn't find it.

Although she didn't understand the specifics, Mrs. Xu knew that there were two things she didn't want to do.

One is that unless the locals are extremely poor, they will not be leech collectors. They are the kind of people who walk in ponds and rivers, wait for leeches to take the bait with their bare skin, and when their legs are covered with leeches, let the leeches absorb their bodies and suck blood. , and then take off the leeches and sell them to the medical hall.Purely selling blood to make money.

The second is not to do the corvee work of cleaning up sewage.This kind of money is more, but you think that there are leeches in the pond, and there are all kinds of insects in the brine.After being bitten by various insects in autumn, in modern terms, all the bacteria entered along the wound, and all kinds of diseases came back. Many people's legs were sawed off, not to mention that they would be washed away by sewage at any time.Many people would rather work for two more months to help the government dig mines and build city buildings instead of doing this, purely working hard to make money.

And her sons earn money by working their lives, which is why people in Wangjiagou laughed at her when they fought with her.

Fortunately, everyone was lucky, and all the beards and tails came back.

But she couldn't cry and howl and complain, "How do you risk doing this?"

Why can it be, poor chant, this is still a question.

Coupled with the fact that they are young, each of them always feels that they are in good health, have no awe of death, and feel that some misfortunes will not happen to them.

So what are you scolding the kids for.

In the future, if the family is not poor, there is no chance for them to worry about earning quick money.

Believe it or not?Just when she said that she owed so much silver taels, the three boys wanted to earn quick money again.

Mrs. Xu motioned to the three boys, let her go back to the room and talk.

The three brothers didn't know if it was an illusion, but they always felt that the gestures made by Mother to signal them to enter the room and talk carried an indescribable power.

It seems that he was trained as a village leader.

How could the three of them know that their mother's core had been changed long ago, and she wasn't the old lady who could be fooled and smiled when she saw money.It's not that the mother doesn't love them, it's just that sometimes it's a matter of perspective.

After Mrs. Xu entered the house, she first arranged for her granddaughter to go to bed. She had a bad cold, so she asked Qin Niang to heat the kang of the big house and spread the quilt on the kang mat.

Otherwise, the three brothers would have no place to sleep tonight, and the two wing rooms would be full of food.Especially the house of the third and fourth child has no place to stay.

Hearing the big house, the three brothers of the Xu family hurriedly raised their eyes to observe their niece.

The big house is the house specially reserved for the eldest brother by the whole family.

The eldest brother really couldn't come back, and the whole family decided to have a house if they didn't come back, and the kang in that house had never been lived in.

It's just that every day when I eat, I will put the table in that room deliberately, and I don't want to let the big brother's room be deserted.

Keeping that house is also planning to let the niece live in it when the niece is a year or two older and is not afraid to sleep alone.Let Tian Xin marry from the best house in the family.

But at this time, mother asked them to go to the big house to sleep in a while, would the niece be unhappy.

Seen by the three uncles, Xu Tianxin put down the brewed dandelion tea and said to his grandma, "I'm not sleepy yet. Go and help my aunt lay the kang and clean the dishes. Let's chat."

After the granddaughter leaves.

The old lady Xu sat cross-legged on the kang, and signaled to her sons to drink mother-in-law Ding water first, and mother-in-law Ding cleared away the heat and detoxified to remove the sewage in the belly. .

The three boys don't want to show their stomachs in front of their mothers. The mother is a woman, and she was glared at by Mrs. Xu. The boys in the village were not born by her, and they have been shirtless recently.

With a deep heart, he said:
"Let's start with Zhao Dashan, your eldest brother's comrade-in-arms... I guess, Liu Laozhu was afraid that his eldest son's affairs would be exposed, so he coaxed me to take care of things, trying to tie my legs and not to swear."

Eldest Xu held the moxa stick in one hand, with only a little belly button exposed, while looking at the ceiling, he felt very uncomfortable when he heard that Lizheng's eldest son was doing military service.

It turns out that military service can be avoided, if only someone in his family helped him back then.

Mrs. Xu saw the loneliness of her sons: "Do you feel uncomfortable listening to it? So he doesn't want me to talk about it. Of course, he is not afraid of telling the villagers, even if his reputation is not good. Okay, what can the villagers do to him? The villagers are very simple."

Mrs. Xu understood through her recent contact with the villagers that Erdaohe really didn't have any big treacherous people.Even counting the Yujia stick next door, he is not a rotten evil person, he is just rotten.

Only people living in the village can see strange phenomena. Many villagers can fight over three melons and two dates, wishing they could not speak for two months because of a chicken feather. Offer to help Zhang Luo.

The three brothers of the Xu family thought to themselves: Yes, being able to escape military service is a skill, no matter how jealous they are, they would not wish Liu Laozhu's eldest son to die.Death on the battlefield is one less thing.

Mrs. Xu continued: "He was afraid that I would be stabbed outside, and Zhao Dashan would go up if he stabbed up, and his family would go to jail, otherwise he would listen to me? However, he also changed later. And because of this Jiang Yu, our whole village is fighting with Wangjiagou, it's a fight..."

Mrs. Xu and her sons talked in detail one by one, even telling what they thought in their hearts at the beginning.Step by step, she wants fish, so how can she achieve what she wants.She also wants to go out and make money.But living in the village, how can we borrow Liu Laozhu's strength from the top up, and how can the villagers not be jealous or pay attention to our family, and not make the Xu family a target of public criticism.

Otherwise, your family is rich, and other families in the village are poor.It’s okay if your family is rich at the root, and everyone will get used to it and not be jealous, but if your family suddenly rises, the poorer the people in the village, the more unbearable they will be psychologically.Can't stand it, can we live in peace that day?Our family is not a large family. A family of six wants to have a place. We eat meat, so we must let the villagers drink some soup. She told her sons.

Mrs. Xu is not bothered, this is a member of the family.

What Mrs. Xu didn't know was that the second child Xu and the fourth child Xu were fascinated by what they heard, and the third child stared at him until his mother said, "That's why Zhao Dashan came home to tell the mutual market, and I quickly bought the wasteland... ...The money is 20 taels left by your elder brother to Tian Xin, he only told me before he left."

Third Xu woke up with a dazed face, being burned by the fourth's Ai Zhu.

Xu Youyin gesticulated that half of Ai Zhu collapsed, comparing people to others would kill him, and the brothers had to throw away the comparison: "Mother, how much money did my eldest brother earn when he went to Yanmen Pass with the caravan back then!"

Why are the three brothers so exhausted that they got less than 20 taels in total even including the robbers?And their elder brother, I heard that when he went out that year, he spent 15 taels on his own to marry a wife, added two acres of fertile land to the family, and bought clothes for his mother.

So what disturbed the three brothers most this night was not the debts, but that the eldest brother still had money left after many years.

Back then, let them serve in the military. They were incompetent, so they left the eldest brother behind.

That's right, it's late at night, Xu Laoer came to the backyard first, touched the tree planted by Xu Youtian, his eyes were red, "Brother, I miss you again."

Then the third and fourth children also walked over silently, they guessed that the second brother was here.
