Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 29 Strange Feelings
It was confirmed that the eldest grandson would leave at the beginning of next month. Mrs. Song pinched the time, and there was only half a month left. She hurriedly called her daughter and daughter-in-law, and the three of them got busy.

They sewed quilts to make clothes, and tampered with Song Yuanbao's clothes from head to toe to create a brand new set.

Song Wei stayed in the study and copied books for his son.

Although the textbooks in the town school can be bought at the bookstore, but these days, books are precious things, especially brand new ones, which are too expensive.

Besides, Song Yuanbao was used to Song Wei's words, and when Song Wei copied the words, he would annotate them when he encountered some difficult points.

In this way, when the teacher is in class, the little guy will cooperate with the annotations, making it easier to learn.

The whole family is busy for Song Yuanbao alone.

Looking at it like this, Wen Wan feels in her heart that Yuan Bao is the little emperor of the Song family, loved by her father and grandparents, and her sister-in-law treats him like her own son.

Fortunately, Song Wei is a favorite, but he doesn't dote on him, and he doesn't raise the little guy lamely. His temper is a bit mischievous, but he doesn't attract people's attention.

This day at the beginning of the month was personally sent by Song Wei and Wen Wan.

Standing at the gate of the town school, Song Yuanbao refused to go in for a long time, watching his parents on the bullock cart from afar.

It was the first time for Wen Wan to see the little guy's eyes showing deep reluctance.

Song Wei waved at him, "Go, I'll pick you up after ten days off."

The corners of Wen Wan's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled softly, her eyes were also persuading him to go in quickly.

Song Yuanbao restrained his emotions, curled his lips pretending to be relaxed, "I'm leaving, don't think about me."

After speaking, he moved forward a few steps, and turned his head not long after. Seeing that his father hadn't left yet, he immediately turned around guiltily, staggering because of the haste.

After watching his son's back disappear at the gate, Song Wei turned his gaze back and said to Wen Wan, "Let's go back."

Wen Wan nodded and sat down next to Song Wei.

Even if she didn't look back, she knew that Yuan Bao must be hiding somewhere and watching them secretly.

After all, he is only an eight-year-old child. Even if he is heartless on weekdays, he must not feel very good at the moment when he leaves his family and enters an unfamiliar environment.

Song Wei saw her staring at a certain direction in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "Can't bear Yuan Bao?"

Wen Wan sighed lightly.

Although they are not biological mothers and children, Yuan Bao and her have always had a good relationship, and they hadn't felt much before coming here. Now that they are really sending people away, they really feel a little blocked.

Song Wei held her hand without saying a word, but the warmth of his palm made her mood gradually clear up.

When the couple drove the ox cart to the entrance of the town, they saw a notice posted outside the archway. It must be because they were afraid that the people in the town would not understand it.

Song Wei went down to take a look, and came back to tell Wen Wan that the nearby Dahuan Mountain was going to mine coal mines, and the government had received an order from the superior to recruit labor for [-] cents a day, and many people signed up.

The Great Chu Dynasty has implemented the tax and corvee system of the "one-whip law" since the current emperor succeeded to the throne.

The "one-whip method" refers to the lifting of the labor burden of the common people, adding the corvee to the land tax, combining it, and paying the tax on the basis of mu.

To put it bluntly, due to today's enlightened policy, the government will no longer randomly grab strong men to do coolies for free.

Any project that requires a large amount of labor must be recruited through formal channels, and each person must be paid a certain amount of remuneration.

It is not uncommon for the government to recruit laborers to work in previous years, but the maximum wage was only [-] yuan a day, but this year it went directly to [-] yuan. It is no wonder that the common people are so active in signing up.

When the two returned home, they were surprised to see Father Wen also there.

Song Wei entered the main room and called his father-in-law.

Father Wen looked at him with a smile, "I heard that Yuan Bao was sent to study in the town?"

"Well, I just delivered it today." Song Wei sat down and added tea to Father Wen's bowl.

"It's good to go to the town to learn!" Father Wen agreed, "That child Yuan Bao has been with you for so long, he must have learned a lot, and he will be able to finish after going to the town to study for a few years."

Song Wei smiled, and then asked, "Father-in-law is here today, is there something urgent?"

Speaking of this, Father Wen and Father Song exchanged glances, and in the end it was Father Song who said that the village head had just told them about the recruitment of labor by the government, and the attraction of fifty Wen a day was really It's too big, both of them want to go, and they were discussing it earlier.

Wen Wan boiled hot water, and when she entered the door, she just heard her father-in-law's words, and her footsteps paused.

Song Wei noticed her strangeness and looked up, "What's wrong?"

Wen Wan frowned, she wasn't sure what was going on, but she heard that her father and father-in-law were going to apply for coal miners in Dahuan Mountain, and her chest felt a little stuffy.

Seeing that the three pairs of eyes were all looking at her, Wen Wan was afraid that they might be worried, so she shook her head to express that she was fine.
