Chapter 86, their plans
Duan Yun continued: "Your request, our tribe also has it. I have a sister-in-law and an 8-year-old nephew, who is not too old, maybe in his mid-twenties!"

"I was going to marry me, but now I am not a soldier of King Lei Gong. The political commissar has taught us and educated us, saying that such things cannot be done. I don't think you are too old. I think it's just cheap." You! Marry one and get one free, even the son will be in place for you in one step, and you don’t have to worry about taking care of the elderly. If you want, I will let you see my sister-in-law later. If you like it, you can bring someone here in two days. Marriage proposal, we will follow the rules of the Han people!"

"Indeed, if such a thing as marrying a sister-in-law happens in our Han land, you will be soaked in a pig cage!" Lao Feng was a little moved by Duan Yun's words. It doesn't matter if you have children or not, as long as you can continue to have children. up.

Duan Yun knew from Lao Feng's expression that he agreed.

Due to their weakness, the Duan tribe has been wandering around in relatively poor grasslands. After having the thigh of Lei Gong, for safety and to be close to Mayi, a place where money can be made, the tribe moved to a place within 30 miles of Mayi. The range of the grassland is close to the track, so they can see their tribe when they get off the track carriage.

When Duan Yun and Duan Peng came down with their things, the people from the tribe immediately surrounded them after they found them.

The tribal elder asked strangely: "Are you back like this?"

Duan Peng said: "The army paid a monthly salary, and we used the monthly salary to sell things, so we asked for leave and brought them back!"

People around were envious when they found the things on the wheelbarrow, especially when they saw that Duan Peng and Duan Yun were dressed similarly to the Han officials, even new-style sweaters, and they looked at their tattered sheepskin Jacket, the gap is simply not that big.Serving as a soldier for King Lei Gong is good!
At this moment, Duan Yun pointed to his barbarian woman and said, "This is my sister-in-law, Zhongyibo?"

Lao Feng didn't see it too clearly, but he knew that the buttocks and breasts were good for fertility, so he shouted in the carriage: "I'll come back in a few days!"

Duan Yun smiled and said, "I'll wait for you!"

The two returned to their homes with their own things.

"Brother, what good things did you bring back?" Duan Peng's younger brother and younger sister asked curiously just after entering the felt tent of his home.

Duan Peng took out the preserved fruit and said, "This is delicious!"

The two little ones accepted it happily and said, "Brother, you are so kind!"

Then he took out the salt and cloth and said, "Mom, you need these. You can tell me if you need anything at home in the future. I have a monthly salary of 600 yuan, which is enough to support a family!"

Duan Peng's mother saw that although the things her son brought out were all what she wanted, she still blamed her and said, "I know how to spend money indiscriminately. We can keep the money for ourselves in the future, and we can also make money!"

Duan Peng's father also said: "Although we can't go to the construction site now, we can make sweaters for King Leigong. One piece costs 50 yuan and can hold half a sheep. It happens that most of the cattle and sheep are sold to King Leigong. It’s easier not to graze. Our whole family knits sweaters together, and we still have 300-400 yuan a month. Since King Lei Gong came to Yanmen County, our life has been much better.”

But Duan Peng said: "Father, the environment in the tribe is too bad. I want to take my younger brother and younger sister to study in Mayi!"

Duan Peng's father wondered: "King Lei Gong will let us barbarians study? And even if they read the books, what's the use of them, why don't they come back to herd the sheep!"

Duan Peng's mother also said: "There are still things that your little brother and sister can help with at home!"

But Duan Peng said: "King Lei Gong treats everyone equally, there is no difference between Hu and Han. I am serving as a soldier in Mayi now, so I can let my younger brothers and sisters go to study."

"And reading is also of great use. When we were in the army, King Lei Gong often asked us to read, and he said for a while that we should be promoted and give priority to those who have meritorious literacy. In Mayi, the monthly salary of scholars is not It’s less than 2000 yuan. So after my younger brother and younger sister study, they will definitely have a better future than me!”

When Duan Peng said this, Duan Peng's father was a little moved and said: "Then you take them to Mayi!"

On the other side, Duan Yun talked to his family about what he saw and heard in Mayi, and his family gathered around the briquette stove, wearing sweaters in their hands, listening with relish. It's closed, everyone is happy to hear something new!
Finally, he said to his parents: "The life in Mayi is much better than the grassland. I plan to take the whole family to live in Mayi. What do you think?"

His parents worried: "Mayi is a Han city, we won't be bullied if we go there?"

Duan Yundao: "King Lei Gong is a great hero, he did not look down on us barbarians, and now I am working under Lei Gong King, no one dares to bully you!"

"But we only know how to herd sheep, how should we live in Mayi!"

Duan Yun said with a smile: "Ma Yi has a lot of cattle and sheep, and they also need herders. You can help King Lei Gong herd herds when you go to May Yi! King Lei Gong is very capable, and our whole family doesn't have to worry about starving if he grazes him!"

Then he continued: "Today, I also made an appointment with my sister-in-law. The coachman who brought us here today also has a monthly salary of 600 yuan, which is enough to support the whole family!"

His father was surprised: "You don't want your sister-in-law anymore?"

Hu people have the custom of father and wife succeeding, brothers and brothers succeeding.

Of course, this custom came about because the productivity of these ethnic groups was too low, their ability to resist natural disasters was very poor, and their population has always been very sparse.For them, it is the biggest waste for a woman not to have children, so after the father passes away, the son will inherit his father's wives and concubines and give birth to as many offspring as possible.

Duan Yun said loudly: "In the eyes of the Han people, this kind of thing is incest, and it is not allowed. Do you want to continue to be barbarians, or want to be Han people! Anyway, I don't want to continue to be barbarians, I want to If you are a big man, I will not marry my sister-in-law!"

Then he started to work as his sister-in-law and said: "What's wrong with marrying a Han Chinese? Mayi is safe and rich, especially the soldiers in Mayi are treated very well. After my sister-in-law gets married, she no longer has to suffer from hunger." hungry."

Duan Yun's sister-in-law naturally wanted to go to Mayi, but on the grassland, a woman like him had almost the same status as property, so she could only watch Duan Yun's parents cautiously.

And Duan Yun's parents didn't want her to remarry, so it was customary not to say anything, Duan Yun's sister-in-law could earn 200 yuan every moonlight knitting sweaters, this money alone made them reluctant to remarry her sister-in-law!
