Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Zeng Laosan, who had also returned from casual work, heard this and looked at Zeng Laosan next to him.

"Brother." He approached Boss Zeng and was about to speak when he saw his eldest brother speeding up and walking forward.

"Hey, brother, wait for me." He chased to the pothole before blocking Boss Zeng, "Why don't you send a message home and ask your sister-in-law to come over?"

"I knew you were going to say this. They are all men. If she comes here as a woman, can she still survive?"

Zeng Boss tried to get around him, but was still stopped by Zeng Laosan, "Brother, didn't I tell you, there are several women on the night shift.

I always go to drink porridge after dark. I often see those women and I even talk to them.

They were originally refugees from Beishan County and lived in a pothole in the west. I saw that they were living well and had not been harmed. "

Boss Zeng pushed him away with one hand, "You don't understand. The most important thing in a woman's family is reputation. If you come here to live with so many men, you will be drowned in spit from the future."

"What is the most important thing about reputation? I think living happily is the most important." Zeng Laosan followed him and said, "You don't know that my sister-in-law is having a hard time at home. Your second sister-in-law still gives her a look every day. , can she have a good life without you?

My mother is now partial to the second brother and never speaks for the elder sister-in-law. In the past, we worked outside and the elder sister-in-law had no food to eat at home.

Big brother!Don’t you feel sorry for your sister-in-law? "

Boss Zeng dusted off his clothes and said, "Mother, I won't let your sister-in-law starve to death."

"I don't want to starve to death, but I will starve half to death." Zeng Laosan continued to persuade, "Calling my sister-in-law to this place can also make my sister-in-law eat well.

The security here is very tight, so I don't think anything will go wrong.

If nothing else works, let's ask the guards to put my sister-in-law to work beside you. Can't we two brothers protect my sister-in-law? "

The last sentence convinced Boss Zeng that if he could come here to work, although he would be a little tired, he would probably be full and save food for the family.

Boss Zeng: "Can the guard be moved?"

"You have to ask."

Boss Zeng mustered up his courage, but when he saw the whip, he gave up instantly, "Forget it, women should not come to a place like this."

"If you don't ask, I'll ask." Zeng Laosan walked towards the guard.

Zeng Laosan immediately followed, "Come back, you're going to die!" He lowered his voice and scolded him behind him, but Zeng Laosan was determined and ran very fast, preventing him from catching up.

"Stop!" The guard shook off his whip, "What do you want to do?"

Zeng Laosan was still very energetic just now. Now when he saw the guard, he immediately knelt down and huddled up like a mouse after seeing a cat.

But he still asked, "Master Bing, I want to ask something."

"Say!"

"The original recruitment notice said that women can come if they want. Is this true or false?"

"of course it's true."

At this time, Boss Zeng knelt behind Zeng Laosan and grabbed his cotton-padded clothes.

Although Zeng Laosan was afraid, he persisted and asked: "Then if a woman comes over, can she be grouped with her men?"

Boss Zeng also looked at the guard expectantly.

"That can't be done." The words "guard" directly dashed Boss Zeng's hopes.

But the guard didn't finish his words. "Women naturally belong to the same group as women. How can they sleep with men? Are you kidding me?"

Boss Zeng's hope instantly revived, "A woman is in a group with a woman?"

"What if that's not the case? Can men and women have the same strength? They only do lighter work like digging and moving soil, and they have to be managed separately. Besides, the people who come to work are all decent girls who work hard. Can I hang out with a bunch of you guys? If we are taken advantage of by a cheap guy and become angry and seek death, wouldn't it be difficult for us?"

The guard's tone of voice was still as if someone owed him two taels of silver, but the words he spoke were heart-warming.

His voice was so loud that not only the Zeng brothers heard it, but also everyone nearby.

If this were the case, if men were with men and women were with women, then there would be nothing to be afraid of. It’s not like they were young ladies from noble families, so they couldn’t even look down upon them.

In winter, we can only go out. Being able to come here and have enough food for two months can save a lot of food at home.

"Master Bing!" someone nearby said, "My woman is good at farm work, can she come too?"

"Of course I can."

"Can you give me a holiday? I'll bring her home. My home is in Yangmen County, very close."

"I don't need to grant you leave. Tomorrow there will be a change of three shifts. Those of you who work the morning shift will have to switch to the middle shift. After the morning shift on the [-]nd, you will have to wait until the [-]rd to start work. You have twelve hours of free time. You can make it in time. Of course you can go home."

When the servants standing nearby heard this, they were like, God!And such good things!

I have never heard of anyone being able to go home and rest for a day while doing hard labor.

Zeng Laosan looked at his eldest brother in surprise, "As soon as we get off work tomorrow, we will go home and pick up my sister-in-law."

Among the crowd, someone hid behind him and asked, "What if someone runs away?"

The guard said: "A monk who can escape cannot escape from the temple. Your names and addresses are all on the desk of the county magistrate. If someone really refuses to return after the expiration date, the family members will be affected."

Someone quickly said: "If you eat such good millet rice, I won't leave even if you chase me. How can I run away?"

"Yes! That's the reason!"

"It's time to disperse, go back to the pit to rest, pat the dust off your body, and you can go eat later."

Zeng Laosan thought that he would be able to go back after work tomorrow. He was so happy that he didn't sleep well all night. When he went to work the next day, he was not in good spirits. He was whipped by the guard for not doing well.

Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes in winter, but the blouse outside the cotton-padded jacket was torn. The person was not injured, but was frightened.

This scare also woke me up, and I didn’t make any mistakes after that.

After finally getting through the day after work, Mr. Zeng didn’t even plan to eat. He just wanted to pack his things and go home quickly, but Mr. Zeng held him back and said, “Brother, don’t worry, let’s pack some food and take it home.” , leave it to my mother and the others, they can make porridge for several meals."

"Yes, you still have a plan."

Boss Zeng carried his luggage to get food, and most of the people waiting in line were like him.

The two brothers packed a meal, and after eating only two or three mouthfuls, they were about to put the rice into the package. When the guard in the same group saw it, he said, "After you are full, you can pack a bowl of rice and take it home."

The servants in the kitchen all looked at the guard who spoke.

The guard held the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said in a loud voice, "Our team has a lot of work to do today. We need to bring an extra bowl of rice with us. Ask the soldier who brings the rice if he agrees."

Zuo Datou, who was in charge of the kitchen, tapped the edge of the pot with a spoon, "I make the decision and promise you."

The servants were so happy that they shouted, "Master Bing, you are a great man."

Someone even took the opportunity to ask: "Can I bring two bowls?"

Immediately, a soldier in charge of bringing food scolded: "You still want to take back a pot of rice!"

The servant, who was so happy that he was about to float, immediately regained his composure.
