After a busy period, when the peasants finished their meals, Song Liyun grabbed Xiao An, who was about to clear the dishes due to hunger, and said softly: "Xiao An, you haven't even eaten, so don't work anymore.
Go to the male workers and find me in the woods, I have something to say."
As he said that, he gave him his multi-grain steamed buns.
Being scolded as a freeloader today, Xiao An stopped taking the steamed buns that belonged to him and did not go to Song Zhenping's place to eat.
At this time, Xiao An bit her lip when she saw her sister giving her steamed buns.
He looked around first and saw that no one was paying attention, then he quickly took the steamed bun and stuffed it into his arms.
Seeing this made Song Liyun feel heartbroken again.
Xiao An ran to the male worker to find Song Zhenping. Song Liyun turned around and glanced coldly at Xu Yan'er, who was peeping at her in the stove shed, to prevent herself from stealing something to Xiao An.
I couldn't help but snorted in my heart: Is it worth the trouble for a few multi-grain steamed buns?
She didn't have time to argue with a little girl right now.
As soon as they reached the edge of the grove, Song Zhenping and Xiao An ran over. They were walking so fast that they even limped obviously.
"Yun'er, someone said something about you today? Did you give the steamed buns to Xiao An again? This one is for you."
Song Zhenping came late to dinner and did not see Song Liyun arguing with Mrs. Cui. He only found out about it after dinner.
Thinking that Yun'er would definitely be hungry after giving his rations to Xiao An, he quickly took out a cloth bag from his arms.
It contained half of the multigrain steamed buns he had saved.
If Xiao An's act of stealing food just now made Song Liyun feel heartbroken, Song Zhenping's hiding of the steamed buns at this time was like a heavy weight in her heart, almost suffocating her to death.
She gave the brothers energy bars on the way. They ate them at first, but stopped eating them the next day.
He said that if you have the whole grain steamed buns provided by the army, you don’t need energy bars and you have to save them.
Nowadays, everyone lives in Datongpu. There is not even a place to store things, and it is not easy to store food.
Seeing that they really didn't want to eat, Song Liyun stopped giving them.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhenping started saving steamed buns again.
The moistened steamed buns became smelly after being stuffed in his arms for a day, so he refused to eat them.
If she hadn't known that he had been supporting Xiao An and herself in this way for ten years, Song Liyun would have thought he was a fool.
Of course Song Liyun didn't eat his steamed buns. He threw the bag back to Song Zhenping and said directly: "I don't want to do it on the stove anymore."
Song Zhenping: "...?"
He wanted to say that only by working did he have food to eat. No matter how much he saved on rations, he could only feed Xiao An. If the second sister didn't want to work, all three of them would definitely starve.
But when she thought of hearing Xiao An being scolded for being a freeloader and being wronged while eating, Song Zhenping was speechless.
"Brother, come with me to the military camp to find Luo Baihu." Song Liyun said calmly.
"Why are you looking for Luo Baihu? If...those people bully you, we will go to Uncle Kui, and Uncle Qin too." Song Zhenping plucked her fingers and murmured.
Song Dekui knew how to serve animals, and when he arrived at Ruijin Town, he was assigned by the military camp to manage the large convoy. He was able to talk to a few small flags, but he didn't work on the sand and gravel team.
Uncle Qin was also promoted as the temporary leader to manage the people.
Song Liyun shook her head, she was not looking for anyone.
Originally, serving as a corvee was not a serious goal, it was just a means to leave Xiaoshi Village.
Now that people have come out, they must have plans to settle down for a long time.
"Brother, let's change the military household! Let's stay in Ruijin Town."
"What? Military households, from now on our children and grandchildren can only serve as soldiers." Song Zhenping jumped up in shock.
Because he was building a house for the military camp, Song Zhenping had been hearing people around him talking about military households in the past few days.
In peacetime, you have to pay military rations, and even if you give birth to a son, you can only work as a soldier and cannot be elected as an official. It is said that it is worse than ordinary farmers.
Seeing how frightened he was, Song Liyun immediately laughed. She was not afraid of Song Zhenping's discomfort and said directly: "Brother, not everyone wants to join the army. You and Xiao An are definitely not qualified, so don't worry.
As for future generations...Brother, did you ever think about your children when you were in Xiaoshi Village?"
Song Zhenping seemed to have been hit in the head, and his face instantly turned green and red.
In Xiaoshi Village, Xiao An and I didn't have enough food or clothing, and all we could think about every day was how to survive.
Marrying a wife was something he had never thought about.
It's only been two days since I've had enough to eat, and I'm starting to think about my children and grandchildren.
Song Zhenping blushed and felt deeply guilty, but Yun'er had thought more carefully.
My three brothers and sister are different from other people who serve as corvees. They are not here to work in the first place.
Others can go home at any time after finishing their work, have a house, land, and a family.
I am homeless, I don’t even have a place to stay.
When winter comes, you will freeze to death and your life will be almost gone. What else do you think about the military, civilians, and future generations?
If you settle in Ruijin Town...
There are rivers and land here, and apart from those rumors, it's actually pretty good.
"Okay, Yun'er, I, I will listen to you."
After some discussion, the brother and sister did not return to the construction site and went directly to the newly built guard barracks.
In the guardhouse, the bearded Luo Baihu was scratching his head and looking at the account book.
The artificial food and grass consumed during these hours were densely written in a thick book, which made his brain hurt.
Turning over a page at random, Luo Baihu's eyes slipped behind the exquisite grid beside him.
There is also a long book table behind the exquisite partition. At this time, a young man with a black silk headband and a dark gray waistband is sitting, also checking the accounts.
That man seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. As soon as Luo Baihu turned his head, he raised his eyes and looked over with a half-smile: "Luo Baihu is tired of looking at it. Do you need me to pass on the ginseng soup to you?"
This man looked to be about twenty years old, and his appearance was quite outstanding.
Although he is wearing the ordinary clothes of the Wu Dynasty, he has deep eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a small cat-eye earring on his left ear. He has a completely different temperament from the people of the Wu Dynasty.
Luo Baihu felt the hair on his back when he looked at that handsome face. He chuckled twice and said: "The Third Young Master is just joking with me. I just want to see if the Third Young Master is tired and if he wants the boys to bring in ginseng soup."
.”
The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm not joking on you. If Luo Baihu has this leisure time, he can talk more with Mr. Hou in the future."
Luo Baihu stood up and waved his hands in fear: "Little ancestor, please spare me! I will check the account right now, hey! I won't dare to do it again, okay?"
When the young man saw him begging for mercy, he just snorted coldly: "Master Hou said that border guards in various places are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization. Luo Baihu traveled more than a hundred miles in this trip and even robbed civilians who were serving as corvees.
Do you know how many notes Hecheng Prefecture has handed to Zhenbei Prefecture, and how many spitters there are in the court? These are all the troubles caused by you... I don’t know how to do it more cleanly!"
Luo Baihu looked aggrieved: "I didn't let them catch me. I should blame others as well. Why was I intercepted by the officials?"
The young man stood up with a calm expression on his face: "They are being targeted by the Hecheng government."
"Tsk!" Luo Baihu laughed.
They separated the civilians halfway and left separately. As a result, two teams were intercepted.
Seeing the young man staring at him, Luo Baihu hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands. This action made him look extremely funny against the big beard on his face.
At this moment, a soldier came to report: "Master Bai Hu, there are two civilians outside who want to see you, and they also said they want to join the military household!"
Very few people are willing to join a military household, but now they actually come to the door. There is joy in the soldier's voice.
Luo Baihu was also stunned when he heard this. He quickly realized what he was doing and ran out: "Let's go, let me see who can't think of this."
A slight cough came from behind Linglong.
Luo Baihu's voice changed: "Ah! Let's see who is so loyal and courageous to the king and the country."
Seeing Luo Baihu disappear outside the door, the smile on Zhao Tingduo's face faded, and a layer of sadness clouded his eyebrows.
