Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 108 A Letter Found by Accident

Liu Man'er said that she wanted to raise puppies, and the next day Ye Yuan adopted two puppies from somewhere. These two puppies are just ordinary dogs, but they are all black and white, and they are soft. The balls were still cute, so Liu Man'er took them away.

Next, in addition to the regular things to do every day, she has to tame the two puppies. After they are tamed, they can help her look after the house.

Dogs are originally human animals and loyal. After raising them for a period of time, this dog became close to Liu Man'er's family. Every day, you can see them having fun in the yard, and occasionally play with Shuai Shuai .

Liu Man'er felt that such a day was really wonderful, easy and simple. On this day, seeing the sunshine was very good, Liu Man'er thought of taking all the clothes out of the house to dry them in the sun, so as to save the clothes from getting moldy.

Together with Fu Lu, Liu Man'er went upstairs to pack the clothes to be dried, first turned out her own clothes, then went to Ye Yuan's closet, and helped him to dry the clothes as well.

Just after turning out all the clothes and throwing them on the bed, a yellow letter fell out of Ye Yuan's cabinet.

Liu Man'er didn't think much about it, she turned around and picked it up, and was about to put it away, but when she saw the opened envelope, she felt as if a devil was screaming in her heart, and she couldn't help but want to put the letter inside. Take it out and have a look.

Especially the date above, it was written a month ago, and the transportation in this ancient time is not convenient. If you send a letter, you can receive it within ten and a half months.

Reminiscing that Ye Yuan seemed a little abnormal a few days ago, Liu Man'er shook her hand, took the envelope and poured it out.

This letter was written by one of his former brothers in the army, to the effect that the frontier is not peaceful now, and it is time for a man to make contributions, so let him join the army.

Again, the eldest son Ye Yuan served in the past has decided to go north. Ye Yuan's skills are good, and he can be regarded as a courageous and resourceful person in the military camp. Being a farmer is really a waste.

At last the man said that he was very pleased to see him go, and waited for his reply.

After reading the letter completely, Liu Man'er stuffed the letter into the envelope, and then stuffed all the clothes in his closet into it, pretending that she didn't see it.

However, when she was drying her clothes, she was always a little absent-minded. Maybe, she was really holding Ye Yuan back?Men, who doesn't want to make a career?This person is right, Ye Yuan was indeed wronged in the countryside.

Liu Man'er knew Ye Yuan, practiced in winter and summer in summer, got up early every morning, never slack off, and his archery skills were very superb, and he was a man of character, not at all like the farmer in the mountains.

But out of her own selfishness, she really didn't want him to go to war, not to mention worrying about his life, but she really didn't want to leave him.

Curiosity killed the cat. Seeing this letter today made her a little confused. Should she persuade him to return to the army?Or turn a blind eye?
The whole day Liu Man'er was a little out of control, and when she was sleeping at night, Liu Man'er finally said this matter, she said: "No matter what choice you make, I will support you."

"Don't worry, I'll stay at home and not go anywhere." Ye Yuan said.

Liu Man'er stopped talking, as if this incident had never happened, everyone lived as usual, simply.

However, I heard that it was the northern Tartars who invaded. Every household had to send one person to serve in the army.

Moreover, if you don't choose to serve in the military, you can also do hard labor. It seems that someone needs to build walls and palaces in the county.

In short, almost every year there are all kinds of corvee. Last year, I was lucky, but the tax was doubled.

Taxes are as usual this year, but corvée is required.

The government's recruitment order has already reached the head of the village, Liu Man'er's family is also discussing countermeasures, there is no need to discuss corvee service, she just depends on Ye Yuan's choice, whether to give money or him to serve in the military.

Fang said to give the money, Ye Yuan nodded in agreement.

Liu Man privately felt that Ye Yuan must be in a dilemma, if he hadn't been bound by people like himself, he would have joined the army long ago.

When a man is alive, he should be a marquis and a prime minister.

Liu Man'er never thought about this before, she thought it was enough for the family to be together happily, but now, everything seems to be not that simple.

In this ancient time, you can't do whatever you want, a decree from the court can make all your efforts in vain.

The Fang family had already given the money to the head of the village, but after the head of the village reported the list, the higher-ups were a little dissatisfied. The county government sent someone over and said, "Don't you have a tiger-fighting hero here? Why doesn't he go?" join the army?"

In their view, after acquiring such abilities, they should be sold into the emperor's family, and they should defend their home and country.

Ye Yuan actually didn't want to go, he flatly refused, saying that he was in poor health and was bedridden, and he gave more money, so he finally evaded this matter.

It's just that Liu Man'er has worked so hard for so long, and could have opened a shop in the county town, but all the money was used to manage it, and now it's back to before liberation.

It's not that she was reluctant to part with the money, but she was a little puzzled, "Ye Yuan, how do you think they know you are a tiger-fighting hero?"

"Someone must have said it." Ye Yuan smiled wryly, his brothers wanted him to join the army, but his heart was always at home.

"Then our matter is resolved, right? And you really don't want to go? Don't blame me then." Liu Man'er said solemnly to Ye Yuan: "Although I don't want you to leave, no matter what you do , I will support you."

"Don't worry, this matter is decided by me, what has it to do with you?" Ye Yuan said, "What's more, I think it's good for us to work at sunrise and rest at night, leisurely and leisurely, how wonderful this life is! .”

Ye Yuan's tone was flat, but Liu Man'er could hear a hint of ridicule and a wry smile, riding a horse to show off his style is what every man wants, it's good to be disarmed and return to the farm, but this kind of thinking is definitely not what a man like him should have.

"It's fine if you feel good, don't force yourself." Liu Man'er didn't want to be his resistance, and said, "Anyway, if you really want to join the army in the future, I will take good care of the family, as long as you keep your promise."

"En." Ye Yuan nodded.

This matter has really passed. In Dawan Village, only a few people went to join the army, and the rest also went to do hard labor. Before the autumn harvest, they came back from hard labor without wasting time.

After giving the money, no one came to Liu Man'er's house to persuade her. A few days later, Liu Man'er went to inquire, and heard that the conscription team had already been assembled and was heading to the border.

Liu Man'er smiled inexplicably, feeling a little relieved in her heart.

People are the most entangled and difficult when they make choices, but now it's better, he doesn't need to entangle in making choices anymore, but Liu Man'er thought it was like this, but letters to Ye Yuan still came one after another.

Liu Man'er was puzzled, Ye Yuan was just a small commander, why did these people value Ye Yuan so much, and insisted on dragging him to join the army?

In the past, I was just a soldier of the palace. I heard that I only went to suppress bandits a few times. I have never done it with real guns and swords like this. But now, this is the real battlefield.

Maybe it's me, a daughter, who doesn't understand what a man thinks.

"You can go if you want." Liu Man'er didn't want to see Ye Yuan being so entangled, and said, "Riding your hard-earned BMW, you can gather with them in minutes."

Ye Yuan didn't speak this time. He stayed before because he looked at Liu Man'er a little silly, and was afraid that she would cause trouble, and thought that he should stay and take care of the family, but now, he was a little reluctant to part with Liu Man'er, and he was used to everything at home.

But if you really want to live like this for the rest of your life, why bother to wake up every morning and exercise yourself without slacking off for a moment?Maybe it's because I also have a heart in my heart, but I haven't made up my mind yet.

Seeing that Ye Yuan was silent, Liu Man'er was also silent.

Yes, although the conscription team has already left, but he still can leave if he wants to
……

The days passed like this, busy with the mundane and trivial matters in this family, every day was simple, because I kept things hidden, I felt that everything was a bit dull.

It's almost summer again, Liu Man'er wants to buy some saltpeter, and she plans to make ice.

The lesson of last summer's deathly hotness is still in her heart. This year, she suddenly remembered it. Could it be impossible to make ice without a refrigerator?Of course, when saltpeter dissolves in water, it will absorb a lot of heat and freeze the water. It's just that I didn't think about it for a while last year, but this year my brain has opened up.

Thinking of being able to drink iced water, eat iced watermelon, iced plum fruit, fruit salad, etc. this summer, all my troubles are gone in an instant.

She took Ye Yuan and took her to the county seat. She didn't need to buy too many things today, so she didn't have a carriage, and the two of them rode a horse together, so it was considered to be out to relax.

Liu Man'er has long learned how to ride a horse. Sometimes when she rides the horse, Ye Yuan sits behind her, and suddenly he feels a little sweet in his heart, why should he worry about things that haven't come yet, and cherish every moment of the present moment? Seconds are fine.

The two of them came to the county town on horseback, and they asked about it from grocery stores, but they didn't have any. Liu Man'er thought about it, and it seems that this saltpeter can be used as medicine. I inquired about the shops of paper and incense sticks, and sure enough, I bought the saltpeter.

The price is not expensive, Liu Man'er thinks it's a good deal, if it is possible to make ice, it would be great. Last year, Ye Yuan got the news that he queued up to buy ice from a rich family, but when he took it home, it was too late. melted.

These big families have ice storages, caves to collect ice, and open the ice cellar in summer, so make an appointment in advance, once opened, the ice cellar will be filled with heat, and the ice will melt quickly.

This year I can make ice myself, just thinking about it makes me happy.
