Wonderful doctor and pretty peasant girl

Chapter 435 The Village Bell Rings
"Ling'er, you call me aunt. My aunt relies on the old to sell the old. This time, let's spare Baoshan, okay? I really want to say, I'm afraid that child A Tao has a gap in his heart. You know, the relationship between the two children I'm not young anymore, I can't afford to delay any longer, how about I just keep it a secret this time?
Don't worry, A Tao is a good child, I like her very much, my aunt promises you here, when she comes in, I will definitely treat her as my daughter!After A Tao entered Zheng's house, this kid dared to mess around, and I, the first mother, couldn't spare him. "

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most difficult since ancient times. Now Aunt Zheng has made a promise for her son's happiness. Her sincerity has moved Gu Qingya: "Zheng Baoshan, for the sake of Auntie, I will help you once. Remember, in the future If you dare to make jokes again, I will not forgive you!"

Knowing that Gu Qingya was relieved, Zheng Baoshan immediately got up and said repeatedly: "No, no, I will definitely not mess up again! Please rest assured, sister Chen San, I will definitely be a good person in the future."

Gu Qingya looked at him: "Then I will remember, this is my first time as a big matchmaker, and probably the only one in my life, I hope Brother Zheng will remember what I said today."

"Definitely, I will definitely remember!"

After sending off the Zheng family's mother and son, Gu Qingya's mouth was raised high: Chen Juqin, fight with me, you are too tender!
The marriage proposal at the Wang family went very smoothly, and the dowry of 30 taels of silver immediately caused a sensation in the whole village.

Some people even said enviously: "It's really unexpected that the old girl promised a good family."

Some people also said: "Who told you to think that his family was poor and afraid that his in-laws would drag you down? A Tao is a child that everyone has grown up with, not to mention his temperament, and his hard work is unmatched."

Only after arriving at Wang's house and seeing Wang A Tao's grandfather, did Gu Qingya know that fate in this world is really hard to say.

When Grandpa Wang saw Gu Qingya, he was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide: "So she is the wife of the Qiu family? You are a kind-hearted matchmaker, my old man can rest assured this time!"

The aunt of the Zheng family was even more surprised when she heard that the elders of the Wang family and Gu Qingya knew each other. After hearing the reason, she was even more surprised: "This is really fate, fate! Grandpa, you can rest assured that A Tao will join my Zheng family in the future." At home, I will definitely come and see it as my daughter!"

Grandpa Wang said with a smile on his face, "Since the Qiu family's daughter-in-law is the big matchmaker, why should I worry about it? Needless to say, my mother-in-law, what could be wrong with the people this child knows?"

Grandpa Wang's remark made Gu Qingya sweat all over her head, and immediately felt more at ease about the incident of beating Zheng Baoshan the day before yesterday!

Several people ate lunch at Zheng's house. Although the dishes were simple, Wang Atao's cooking skills were good. On the way, the Zheng family's aunt was still praising Zheng's family for being lucky.

Gu Qingya said with a smile: "Auntie, they don't want to marry A Tao's family. It's not that A Tao's family is bad, but because they are afraid that A Tao's family will be dragged down because they are too poor. Are you not afraid?"

The Zheng family has [-] acres of land, two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter is married, and the two younger ones are still young.

The whole family is diligent and honest. Except for the eldest son who worries her, the rest of the family is doing well.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng said cheerfully: "First, I don't think the old man of the Wang family is the kind of lazy person. Second, if he can take care of it and help out, that's normal. Who doesn't have one or two poor relatives? If you are poor and ambitious, nothing big will happen.”

Whether it was Zheng's sister-in-law who really thought about it, or her words were nice, Gu Qingya kept praising her.

Who in the world doesn't like to boast?
The sister-in-law of the Zheng family felt even better when she was praised: "Why is this child so sweet? You know that you are such a good child. I should have formally asked someone to come to your house to propose marriage. If you could be my Daughter-in-law, I have lost everything in my life."

Uh~~ Why did it involve her again?

Auntie, your family is really stupid, my temper is really not suitable~
Once the matter was settled, Gu Qingya really let go of her worries.

On this day, Fourth Aunt Chen sent a jar of fried corn, which smelled delicious.

It's just that after Gu Qingya ate a few pills, she found her teeth were sore!
Seeing the grains of yellow fried corn, her heart flashed: there is no popcorn in this era?

Touching mechanical hands for a long time, even if she is not a mechanical graduate, Gu Qingya is really good at some things.

Didn't she want to find a way to make money for the fourth uncle and uncle's family?

Maybe, try this...

While Lu Qingya was thinking about how to make pressure gauges, suddenly the big clocks in various villages rang...

Chen Wang's eyes jumped: "What happened? It's the first time this year to ring the big bell, Linger, let's go and have a look?"

When the village bell rang, it was definitely a big event.

Gu Qingya's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately carried Xiaocao and Mrs. Chen to the village.

When they arrived in the village, the grain drying field at the head of the village was full of people, everyone was upset and talking, and no one could guess what was going on.

While everyone was muttering, the village head uncle stood on the high platform and yelled loudly: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, it's nothing else, don't panic. Do you remember that we have a drought this year? But the two southern provinces are Daluo, this time the yamen requires every household, those who have money to contribute money, and those who have no money to contribute, everyone pulls each other!"

What?
Need more money?
Hearing the words of the village chief, someone immediately shouted: "Village chief, what does it matter to us if they are flooded? If we don't have a water tanker, is it also a natural disaster? Who will help us?"

"That's it!"

Seeing the noisy people below, the village chief got angry: "Silence! Silence! Whoever quarrels, first report the name!"

This voice was so powerful that those who couldn't hold back immediately shut up, for fear that they would be the first to write it down.

Seeing that people stopped arguing, the village chief spoke again: "This time the flood broke through the embankment of the Chu River, the court paid money and the common people contributed. The whole family can’t leave, they are registered according to household registration, and whoever wants to make trouble will be arrested and sent to Hougang Guzi!”

There is a large piece of fertile land in Hougang Guzi, the grain base of Chaoting, and the people who farm there are all exiled criminals.

And the Chujiang River is a big river that crosses two provinces (Jiangzhou and Chuzhou), and Gu Qingya knows that it is equivalent to the Yellow River in her hometown.

The corvee service in Donglin Kingdom is divided into military service and labor service. Needless to say, military service is conscription. According to Gu Qingya's explanation, labor service is the work of the husband who repaired the Great Wall of Meng Jiang's daughter's family.

Labor service is relatively better than military service. Donglin Country has been fairly peaceful these years. Military service is performed every five years, and five years are considered one service based on household registration.

Gaoshi Town has always been a rich place. A military service is 20 taels of silver. Most of the families in the town will pay for the military service with silver. In the mountain village, people with poor sons even have two of them. Qiu Mingyuan was born ten years ago. The border where he left for the Qiu family's military service.

Hearing that a single laborer can pay for service with silver, someone asked loudly, "Can the one with two laborers pay for service with silver?"

The village chief immediately said: "Yes, one labor is 15 taels of silver. If anyone is willing to pay the silver, let me know. I don't know for sure how many years the labor will be. If you are willing to pay for the labor with silver, please tell me as soon as possible."

15 taels of silver, that's not a small number, a family of ten acres of land can't have less than 15 taels of silver a year.

As soon as the number came out, the rich people were overjoyed, but they cried...
