The above things were told to women on the way home.

"Since you can't survive anymore... why not go anywhere else? Even if you go to the army, you can make a living..."

When he was almost home, Yukawa said this. I smiled bitterly and explained.

"Do you think soldiers are just what you want? When you join a soldier, you have to carry guns and fight. The gun is in your hand and who you are used to fight, that is decided by the person holding a gun. If you recruit a messy person into the army and join the army, what should they do if they use guns to rebel? So, recruit soldiers to check their household registration. Where to recruit soldiers, they recruit people from where they are from, and they must be good people."

"Good people?" Xiaochun blinked in confusion, "I always hear people say good people, what are good people?"

"A good citizen is an ordinary person with a stable job, a stable life, and no criminal record. Even a good citizen must have someone guaranteed his/her service. If he/she is halfway through the army, or becomes a deserter during a war, the guarantor will be punished the same crime."

I didn't go to the army through regular channels, but I have all the procedures I should have. My guarantor is Si Congpo. If I run away halfway through the army or become a deserter, Si Congpo will also be punished.

"What about people without these?" Yumi asked.

"If there is no stable job and a stable life, it is called a lazy person, and if there is a criminal record, it is called a criminal person. If the slack person can find a guarantee, it can find a job. If it is a criminal person, it will be difficult to find a job. No matter what the criminal person does, it will be necessary to have three guarantors, and one less. Because of the crime and the trust is lost, it is difficult to find a guarantor."

"Then those who squat on the street are lazy people?" Xiaochun said.

"Those are refugees." I said with a wry smile, "No one knows where they come from, and it is impossible to go out to investigate. These foreigners who are ignorant of the roots are collectively called refugees. However, these are the official names and are rarely used by ordinary people. At most, they will say when they are interrogated, "I am a good citizen." But it is useless to say that you still have to show your citizenship certificate and ask others to check it. Should you deduct it or you."

"Oh... so many men don't work... It's a pity..."

At this time, Yuying sighed in a low voice. Although the sound was very small and the surroundings were noisy, I still heard it. There was no way, who made this Yuying's voice?

"If it were before, there would be no such many people."

I casually put my arms around Yukai's waist. She was startled and then leaned over obediently.

"In the past, there were workshops with low production efficiency. Even large workshops were not as efficient as factories. A large factory with thousands of people could produce enough things for hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. If it were workshops, at least tens of thousands of people would have to do so much work.

The things produced by factories are of good quality and cheap price, and ordinary people are willing to use them. If the things produced can be sold, they can make money. If they can't be sold, they will lose money. If they are enemies, the factory will make money, and the workshop will lose money. If this continues, the workshop will definitely be eliminated and turned into factories. With more factories, fewer people will need them and more idle people will be."

"Then... how should these idle people live without a job?"

“Yes, how should we live?”

I looked back at the group of people who had passed by before, squatting on the side of the road and sighed heavily.

"Who knows. Those who are capable and capable can live anywhere. Those who are incompetent and incompetent can only depend on luck. If you are lucky, you can live, and if you are not lucky, you will be hungry. When you are extremely hungry, you will lose your mind and may do something... Now there are so many idle people in Yuanxing. If something happens, it will be a big deal..."

"It seems... it seems that the annual tax payment is indeed paid..." Yuying said in a heavy tone, "But it is not a solution to collect taxes like this... If the Chinese New Year is still like this, wouldn't we support them for a year? If it is still like this next year, wouldn't we support them for the rest of our lives? There will be more and more refugees in the future, and sooner or later we will not be able to support them."

"Yes..." I sighed helplessly, "When I can't afford to raise it, it's time to collapse. If it collapses, it will be in chaos."

"It can't be broken..." Yukai looked at me worriedly, "The government will think of a solution, right?"

"Maybe." I smiled helplessly, "Now in this world, I can't count anything. I can only take one step at a time and calculate wherever I go. When soldiers come, they will block them, and when water comes, they will live, and when they can't block them, they will die..."

Speaking of this, I realized that the topic became too heavy. Yumi and Koharu, who were walking on both sides, had lowered their heads and dared not speak, and Yugai also had a heavy expression on his face.

"But everything should be better," I grinned, "When the New Year comes, the situation should improve. As long as the municipal government can take care of something, the situation should not worsen."

The first day of the first lunar month is the official holiday on my last day during the Chinese New Year.

I wanted to do something comfortable, but the problem is that I was still recovering from my injuries. I couldn’t eat or drink. I was so hard that night that 28th, probably I was hurt a lot. I couldn’t mess around these days. When I got home, there was no one at home, so I could only jump into the lattice with Yuying and others in the front yard.

Yukai felt sorry for my injuries and refused to let me jump, so he watched with me, letting Yumi and Koharu play. At this time, I suddenly remembered what happened in the morning. When Gunbai and the others came, grandma asked Yukai to stay with her and said something to say. I don’t know what grandma and Yukai said, but what is certain is that when I see Yukai again, Yukai was no longer as strange as before.

The Yuying before gave people the feeling of wanting to get close to me but not daring to get close to me. Now, Yuying has let go a lot. Although she is still a little shy, she no longer resists getting close to me. I get close to her and hug her, and she will not suddenly distance herself from me like before, saying no.

Hehe... Yukai likes me too, cares about me, it's so beautiful!

Looking back on what my grandma said before, I felt like I was about to float up. Now I just want to buy a small house on the street, move in with Youying, and live our little life safely.

But this is obviously impossible. It is okay to buy a house, but it is unlikely to live with Yukai. On Chuei, I have already bragged about it, and it is impossible to regret it. Besides, I don’t want to regret it. I have also taken advantage of Yumi and Koharu. Now it is impossible to say that I don’t marry them.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I was too inflated and too impulsive in doing things. I shouldn’t have taken over Yumi and Koharu. If they like me, I wouldn’t mind accepting them. But if they just follow the trend and actually marrying anyone, they should let them choose a man by themselves. Whoever is selected will be lucky.

Unfortunately, I didn’t turn back when I opened my bow. If I said something, the water I poured out was hard to contain. I have done this and I can’t slap myself in the face. Anyway, Yumi and Koharu don’t hate me, so just marry me! Isn’t this good for everyone to live happily together?

"Yukai, what did Grandma tell you this morning?"

“Eh?”

Yuying was stunned at first, then blushed and replied.

"Grandma told me...No, it was my grandma who taught me how to be a good woman."

"Oh, then you have to talk to me. According to grandma's standards, how can you be considered a good woman?"

"Well... Grandma said that the most important thing for a good woman is to think about men."

"Then aren't you already a good woman?"

"No...I, I'm not..." Yuying shyly stroked the hair on her temples. "Grandma said that she was thinking about men, not according to her own thoughts, but thinking about what her man was thinking and understanding him according to his ideas. Otherwise, she would just be determined and would become a person like her second grandma, harming others and herself."
