Today, Qin An doesn't have to work as a helper when he comes back from school. All the helpers in the carpentry shop have a day off.
Qin An thought that his wife was tired these days, so he wanted to take her to buy two new clothes and some food.
He came down from the attic after putting the books and said, "Daughter-in-law, let's go to the market together."
At this time, Su Yan was sitting at the table sorting green onions, "What are you buying? All the food stalls are closed now."
"I'll buy it tomorrow morning."
The rough man came over, stretched out his hand to pull her, and said in a low voice: "Just take a look and buy whatever you can."
"I stopped by to see how the yard was being repaired."
Hearing this, Su Yan looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "What are you going to buy me?"
After being exposed by his wife, the man was a little dumbfounded. After reacting, he bent down and rubbed her cheek with the tip of his nose, and said hoarsely: "Buy two pairs of clothes. If you have a big belly, wear loose clothes."
This is what I want to buy. Su Yan put down the green onions she was handling and said, "Then I'll take the clothes upstairs to the shop and have them altered. I can still wear them for a while without the belt."
"Keep it and wear it after you are born." Qin An shook his head.
The two of them were just about to leave the shop when they saw Jiang Caifu running over panting. Su Yan subconsciously thought something had happened to Goudan's mother, and quickly said: "What's wrong?"
There were people everywhere here. Jiang Caifu pointed to the inside of the shop and said, "Say... inside."
Qin An brought a bowl of warm water and handed it to Jiang Caifu. Jiang Caifu drank a few sips and said after his throat felt much better: "When I go to work today, I heard someone said that it was originally someone from the Qian family who served as a soldier, but now it's you. I don't know whether it's true or not.
I just want to tell you something first."
Qin An and Su Yan's expressions suddenly changed. It had been several days. If it was true, wouldn't it have been reported to them?
Su Yan was so angry that her hands were shaking, but she still forced herself to calm down, "Let's go to the mayor and ask."
The mayor naturally has a copy of the registration list for joining the army.
"Okay, hurry up and take a look to feel at ease." Jiang Caifu urged.
Su Yan did not dare to delay any longer, so she took Qin An and went to the mayor's house. The mayor's house was a large house with two doors. The door was always open so that people could come and do things.
At this moment, the mayor happened to be eating. When he saw the two people coming, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Can the village chief please take a look at who the two men serving as soldiers in Shanghe Village are?" Su Yan said straightforwardly.
These days, many people come to see them. There must be something wrong with each family, and there will naturally be trouble.
The mayor was also afraid that if they knew about the trouble at the last moment, the county magistrate would say that he was not doing well, so he found a booklet and read it, "Guo Tieniu and Qin An."
Hearing the word Qin An, the color in Su Yan's expression faded, "Mayor, my husband-in-law is Qin An. He is an orphan. His parents died early and he is the only one in the family. He cannot be a soldier. Can you help?
Cancel."
Upon hearing this, the mayor was stunned and looked at Qin An in disbelief, "Why are you still on the booklet if you are an orphan? The village chief doesn't know?"
"We don't know either. We just heard someone say it now, so we came over to confirm."
After Su Yan finished speaking, she added: "The mayor can ask someone to confirm that my husband-in-law is really an orphan." She sounded a little anxious at the end.
If her rough guy is willing to go, she will accept it no matter how dangerous it is. But now that someone else is forcing her to go, she naturally won't comply.
She was afraid that there was nothing she could do if she refused, and her mind went blank when she thought of this.
At this time, a big hand held her hand, and she turned her head to meet the rough man's soothing eyes, telling her not to worry.
The man's deep voice said: "Mayor, please check."
The mayor took a look at the list of people in Shanghe Village and found that Qin An was indeed an orphan. He immediately understood that the village chief must be responsible.
but……
The name has been reported to the county seat.
He said in a helpless tone: "I can't help it. I sent him to the Yamen two days ago, and someone came down the next day. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a soldier. You can earn several taels of silver a month."
