The door opened, and the Qin family stood at the door. Qin Zhao was the fastest with his hands and feet. He stepped forward and lifted the fat rabbit up.

Just then, boom———

There was a roar on the mountain.

"what sound?"

Everyone in the Qin family couldn't help but look towards the mountain.

"The mountain collapsed?"

At this time, a thin middle-aged man came out diagonally across from the Qin family, "No, it's not that the mountain collapsed when you heard the sound, but that bluestones are being hammered on the mountain."

While speaking, his eyes fell on the rabbit that Qin Zhao was carrying.The movement of hitting the bluestone was too loud, which startled the small animals in the mountain, so the rabbit ran away.

He was resting in the yard just now, and happened to see this rabbit running down the mountain.

And the Qin family's house happened to be at the foot of the mountain, so it was good luck for the rabbit to bump into the Qin family's door.

Looking at the fat rabbit, he smacked his lips.

The Qin family was also looking at this neighbor, only to see that he was wearing shabby clothes and had an unshaven beard, obviously he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

Lu Songli noticed that he had a strong literati air, and his eyes were quiet and introverted, with occasional flashes of light.

Qin Heng said, "Thank you, sir, for clarifying the confusion. Next, Qin Heng, they are all my family members. I don't know your name, sir? Where is your ancestral home?"

Gu Zhang said indifferently, "Miangui's surname is Gu. As for the ancestral home, I won't mention it, it's nothing to worry about. The Qin family, I know you are relatives of General Qin Yue, who has been guarding the northern border."

Lu Songli was a little surprised when he heard this. The imperial court deliberately downplayed the merits and existence of the generals who guarded the four directions, not only the Qin family who guarded the northern border, but also the Sun family who guarded the southwest.For example, Tang Yueguang and Mo Lianfeng, who were in charge of the handover just now, were calm even though they knew they were from the Qin family.But she didn't expect that he knew the middle-aged man in front of her?

Gu Zhang asked, "What jobs have you been assigned?"

"Turn the ground." There is nothing to say.

Gu Zhang nodded, "That's okay. It's not the hardest, most tiring, and dangerous job. Like the outlaws who are digging bluestone on the mountain now, what they do is the hardest, most tiring, and dangerous."

Seeing that the Qin family had just arrived, Gu Zhang wanted to have a few words with them.

"After hitting the bluestone, it's time to hit the stone. It's the work of us exiles."

Lu Songli knew that the bluestone was to be fired for lime.Bluestone is most afraid of fire, and when it is burned, it will turn into lime.In fact, in addition to bluestone, limestone, chalk, and dolomitic limestone can all be used to produce lime.

"Break stones, do you want to repair the city wall?" They also have such jobs in the northern border, Qin Heng and Qin Zhao have both worked as supervisors.

Gu Zhang likes this kind of smart people who can understand a little bit, so he nodded immediately, "Xianbei went south last year and broke Xiangping City. Now we are busy with spring plowing, and there is no time to make up for it. When the spring plowing is over, we have to go to stone , Repair the city wall. The repair of the city wall is not finished yet, and we have to continue to quarry and build roads and pave roads." In short, it is endless work.

When the Qin family heard about it now, the only feeling they had was that the exile was very busy, and there seemed to be no time to rest.

Gu Zhang just came to say hello, chatted for a few words, and then went back.

At this moment, the people from the military station brought them half a month's rations for their family, a total of [-] catties of grain.In addition, they also brought them the one-time entry and exit token that Mo Lianfeng promised to give.

After Lu Songli took the token, he went to look at the grain. As expected, the two hundred catties of grain were coarse grains.There are all kinds of grains, but they are all mixed together.

The people who came told them that the daily food provided for exiles was one catty for adult men, eight taels for each adult female family member, and half a catty for children.They need to eat these two hundred catties for half a month. If they finish eating ahead of time, they will not give them any more food.

Lu Songli did some calculations and gave seven catties less.She didn't know which link was deducted, and she didn't bother to care about it.

In fact, she thinks that this ration is not bad. If you cook according to this amount, the whole family can barely eat six to seven percent full.Because people at this time have little oil and water, it is not surprising that a half-grown child around ten years old can eat three or four taels in one meal.

This is already very good.The black land here, the food production is not bad.If they went to other places of exile, the rations might not be so much.

Lu Songli was holding the token, but it was a pity that it was already dark, and the only way to go out was tomorrow.

Next, they started to cook dinner. They only had a broken earthenware pot to use. Finally, they spent an hour making a braised rabbit diced and covered with coarse grain rice.

Everyone ate well and satiated.

After eating, it was time to divide the room.

It took them a total of two hours to tidy up the house.The most important thing is the two cracks, they are covered with mud, and they can barely live.

Lu Songli raised her head, she really hasn't lived in such a dilapidated house for a long time.

There are five main rooms, each of which is three feet wide and five feet deep. Converted to the area of ​​later generations, it is about 23 square meters, which is large enough.

Qin's mother and Shen Erniang lived in one room.

Qin's mother and Shen Erniang lived in one room temporarily. In the next few days, they will find a way to divide the room into two halves.

In the remaining four rooms, the four brothers of the Qin family lived in one room with their children.

Because Qin Jia is eight years old and Qin Heng is still a widower, it is not appropriate to take her to sleep in the same room, so Qin Jia lives with Qin's mother.

After dividing the room, each went back to clean up.

No one complained about suffering. On the way to exile, the place they slept in was just enough. Now that each family is allocated a room, there is nothing to complain about.

At this time, Qin's mother stopped her younger son, "Come here."

"What's the matter, mother?"

"Don't invite your wife tonight."

Hearing this suddenly, Qin Sheng was stunned.

Mother Qin didn't hear his answer, so she asked again, "Did you hear that?"

Qin Sheng's face turned red, and after a long time, he finally managed to say, "Mom, what do you say about this?"

Qin's mother laughed, "Your father is gone. If your father was here, he must have told you this. But mother is from experience, and you are mother's son, so it's okay to say so."

Speaking of his father, Qin Sheng was also a little depressed.

"Your father is gone, so you and your daughter-in-law need to observe mourning for three years." Because he went at the end of last year, counting, they need to observe the ritual for two full years.

In fact, keeping filial piety is not so strict. The seven emotions and six desires are human nature. As long as no life is caused, everyone will turn a blind eye.

But the husband was willing to die for the sake of the Qin family, and the people he cared about most before his death were the youngest son and youngest daughter-in-law. Qin's mother didn't want this to be a stain on the conduct of the youngest son and youngest daughter-in-law, who would be criticized in the future.

"Mother, we know." Qin Sheng whispered, so neither he nor his wife crossed the last line.

Qin's mother thought about it for a while, but she was still worried, "Otherwise, I will share a house with your wife, and you will have a house by yourself?" The two of them were young and energetic, what should they do if their guns go off?

Mother Qin's words hit him like a bolt from the blue.

"No, no, mother, don't come." Qin Sheng shook his head.

Occasionally hugging and holding high with his wife is what he looks forward to most every day, but his mother wants to deprive him of it?No no no.

And he already has a wife, so I won't talk about it before the eldest brother reunites, but why can the second and third brothers sleep with their daughter-in-law at night, but he can't?

"Virtue, mother won't tell you, mother will tell your daughter-in-law."
