My whole family is punching cards in the farming article to survive

On the second day after Mei Youqian came back, the gate of Mei Youqian's house was really overcrowded again.

Because there were too many people in front of the house, Mei Berry couldn't stand it, so early in the morning, she took the mules who hadn't been at home for many days to go out for a walk.

The mule cub was very happy. He didn't need to pull the cart, and Meiberry didn't hold him back. He ate grass and grass, and he ate leaves when he wanted to.

In the end, Mei Berry watched the mule cub rush all the way to the foot of the back mountain to have fun.

Mei Berry simply sat on a clean boulder, yawned and watched the mule cubs grazing.

"It's so early today?"

Meiyou had just come out of the mountain, carrying two pheasants in her hand, when she saw Mei Berry letting their mule here.

"Sister, you are also very early. The mountain is so early. There are many people in front of my house, and they are all asking my dad about what they have seen during this time!"

After Mei Berry finished speaking, she said enviously, "Sister, the location of your home is really good. I don't think there are many people who come to inquire about the news, right?"

"Well. Should."

When Meiyou woke up in the morning, it was very bright, and no one would come to her house to ask questions at that time.

Even if there was someone there, the time would be different from her.

"That's great~ah~" Mei Berry stretched her arms again, sighed, looked at Mei You curiously, "Sister, do you know that Chen Baodan was sentenced to ten years for mining?"

"I know." Mei You pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to comment, wish him luck~"

Mei You is also satisfied with this result.

At this time, because crime is more ruthless than punishment for labor, it can be compared to 007 blessings.

The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and soon after Mei You left, Mei Berry also felt a bit of heat, so she called the mule cub home.

It's just that when Mei Berry passed by the threshing ground in the center of the village, she saw many villagers gathered there to discuss.

The crowd also included her parents, three uncles and three aunts.

These days, is there such a big fight to hear gossip?
Mei Berry subconsciously thought that his father and mother were here specially, and then called everyone to tell everyone what happened before.

Even before she got close to her parents, Mei Berry had already imagined in Mei Berry's mind the image of her father wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket, standing in the middle of the crowd, hehehe, and the stand-up comic came.

Well, her father's image in her mind is so changeable.

But soon, Mei Berry saw that the scattered villagers were all frowning.

That expression didn't look like he heard something good.

Even the expressions on the faces of Wei Meili and Mei Youqian seemed to become serious.

It wasn't until she watched her three uncles and three aunts leaving in a hurry, that Mei Berry came back to her senses and hurried to her parents with the mule to ask what happened.

"Let's talk at home."

As soon as she got home, Mei Berry was overwhelmed by the news her parents brought.

"Corvée?!"

Mei Berry's voice suddenly raised a few degrees, and then some fragmentary images flashed in her mind.

In the Mei family's old house where there is no family separation, her father and third uncle seem to alternate, and there is no one for one or two months every year.

When she reappeared, her third uncle or her father returned home skinny as if he had lost half his life.

"Then, my father is the only adult male in our family now!"

Once she is in forced labor, every household will produce an adult male, which is her father without even thinking about it.

"Is there any other way, such as paying money?"

"Yes, yes, but only five or one person."

"Our family has."

"But other people don't know that our family has it. Where did we get the money? It's a dig, what should we do if someone targets our house?"

Mei Youqian thinks a lot, wealth does not reveal wealth!
It's been only a few months since Duanduan separated, and there are five taels of silver?

"Is it possible that you will be sent to serve in corvee?"

"Oh, this time it's digging the river channel. The job at the door of the house is the section from Lihu Town to Jinbai County. The surrounding villages are all recruited there. It's close, so there shouldn't be any problem!"

Mei Youqian waved his hand, he naturally saw the original body's military service in Mei Erniu's memory, he was indeed very tired, but not to the point where he could not bear it.

"This corvee is still paid, five cents a day. But you have to bring your own dry food."

Mei Berry: "Dad, listen, is this corvee work done by humans? Are you still laughing?"

As soon as Mei Youqian described Mei Berry's treatment, he disagreed even more, saying: "Just for this day's five money, not including food and lodging, no!"

Listening to the conversation between father and daughter, Wei Meili did not let go of her frowning brows. She hesitated for a while and said, "Our family earned some money from the tea we sold earlier. You go to Gaoqu County, and the county magistrate rewarded you for a while." A sum of money, if you put it together, you can save money and have it at home.”

What Wei Meili said seemed to be true.

But everyone present knew she was talking nonsense.

For example, there is really no reward from the county magistrate, but Wei Meili said that there is now.

"That's right! Put it together and you'll have it!" Mei Berry's eyes lit up immediately, imitating her mother, who is also a playwright, and sighed, "The money that was so good is gone."

Mei Youqian: "..."

Mei Youqian was moved by the appearance of the mother and daughter. With his nod, Wei Meiliang decided that their family would not touch meat recently, and if they wanted to pretend, they had to pretend to be a little bit more!
Plumberry:? ?

Mei Youqian:! !
"Do you know how to act like a little bit?" Wei Meili stared at the father and daughter who seemed to be dying if they didn't eat meat. "You want to eat when you don't have any money at home?"

"Oh, sister, do you think...is it necessary?"

Having encountered almost the same problem as Mei Berry's family, Mei You, who also decided to spend money to eliminate the disaster, is strolling with Mei Berry in the wooded mountains in the afternoon to cool off the heat.

Mei You heard Mei You's complaint, thought for a while and shook his head.

"right?"

"Ah."

"By the way, sister, do you want to refer to our family's reason for five taels of silver in your family, the reward from the magistrate of the county, and what else do you earn from hunting?"

"No, but you can say that if someone really asks."

Upon hearing Mei You's blunt words, Mei Berry was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Sister, when you plan to spend money to offset this corvee service, don't you think about how to answer when others ask where the money came from?" Bar?"

This point, Meiyou nodded and admitted without hesitation.

"My father and my mother used to lose money all the year round, so we can't suffer like this anymore."

Mei You and his family mentioned corvee at that time, and Mei You directly decided to offset the corvee with silver for this reason.

When Mei Berry heard Mei You's reason, she blinked: "That's it?"

"Otherwise?" Mei You didn't know what Mei Berry was wondering about, so she thought about Mei Berry's question just now, and then said, "Whether our family has money or not has nothing to do with others?"

"Well... wouldn't it be good if someone was watching?"

"They can try it."

Mei You's strong self-confidence comes from her strong strength, and she doesn't care how others guess that she will have so much money.

Right now, Wuliang has to explain it. When winter comes and they get the first dividend from selling soap, do they have to explain so much money to others?
Mei You thought so, and told Mei Berry the same way. Mei Berry was taken aback when she heard that, but then couldn't help laughing.

"It's just that we think too much. Money is a thing that can't be earned. Every time you earn a sum of money, you have to tell others how you earned it. It's really exhausting~"

Mei Berry also suddenly realized at that moment.

Their family's money will only increase, and it is impossible for them to account for every money.

After chatting with Mei You for a while, Mei Berry, who felt relaxed a lot, suddenly rolled her eyes and remembered another thing.

"What do you think about the old house?"

In the memories of Mei Berry and Mei You's original bodies, Mei Sanma and Mei Erniu always took turns as the corvee of the old Mei family.

Now that they have separated, what will happen to the old Mei's family this year?
"Do you think grandpa will feel sorry for uncle to go up by himself?"

"I think Uncle might be there."

Unlike Mei Berry who thinks that old man Mei will go, Mei You thinks that Mei Dahu will go.

"Grandpa seems to be partial to uncle and the others..." Mei You spoke slowly, expressing her feelings, "But in fact, he likes himself the most."

Mei You: I didn’t expect that, I’ll find out about Old Man Mei recently.

Mei Berry: I didn't expect... But it doesn't matter, I'm on the card. (＾－＾)V
