Farmer's Notes from Another World

Chen Ahma took Xiaotuanzi to play at home. Although Xiaotuanzi could only sit down, Chen Ahma liked her very much.Xiaotuanzi was drooling, and Chen Yan's family was feeding him with egg custard. Seeing Xiaotuanzi eating happily, he said to Chen Mo: "This appetite is like my family's Sanmao. He doesn't pick what he eats. Look at these little arms and calves. Yes, how powerful it is."

Chen Mo listened with a gentle smile and said: "Grandma, if Xiaotuanzi is really as smart as Sanmao, I will be satisfied. Listen to me, Sanmao is very appreciated by the husband in the private school now. In the future, our family Maybe there will be a scholar."

Chen Yan's family listened to Chen Mo's words, a hint of pride flashed in their eyes, but they still carefully helped Xiaotuanzi wipe off the leftover egg custard from the corner of his mouth.When Fang Zeng and Fang Zhiyuan arrived, Ah Chen had already prepared the meals.

Fang Zeng and the others originally planned to go back after dinner, but they didn't expect Chen Yan to come back halfway, and his face was not very good.Ah Chen was a little surprised to see her eldest son come back at noon.He hurriedly came out and asked, "Boss, why are you back at this hour? Is there something wrong?" As he spoke, his face was full of worry.

Chen Yan smiled at Aunt Chen, and said, "It's okay, I just had a drink with my former colleagues and I felt a little dizzy, so I'll go back and rest first."

Chen Amo naturally didn't believe it. His boss knew that he wouldn't come back at noon for nothing.But Chen Yan didn't want to say it, and Chen Ahma wouldn't ask any more questions.It was Chen Mo who hurried out to greet him just now. Chen Yan hadn't seen Chen Mo for several days. He was looking at the little dumpling in Chen Mo's hand, and immediately went forward to pick up the little dumpling.

He smiled and said to Chen Mo: "Ah Mo, you are back. Why are you alone? Fang Zeng didn't follow?" His tone became a bit bad.

Chen Mo said: "Brother, Ah Zeng was eating in the house, and all four of us are here today. Brother, I think your face is not right, what's wrong, are you in trouble?" Chen Mo looked at Chen Yan with concern.

Chen Yan hugged Xiaotuanzi and walked into the house, saying as he walked, "Come on, let's go into the room and talk about it. It just so happens that I have something to tell you." Xiaotuanzi didn't recognize anyone and thought with a smile He wanted to pull Chen Yan's hair, but Chen Yan didn't pay attention, and actually pulled him by the hair.

Seeing this, Chen Mo hurried forward to pull the hair from Xiaotuanzi's hand, but Xiaotuanzi was not happy, so he just refused to give it.Chen Mo was going to be tough, but Xiaotuanzi was about to lose Xiaojindou.After thinking about it, Chen Yan didn't think it was a big deal, he was just pulling his nephew's hair, anyway, there was no outsider here, so he stopped Chen Mo and told him to leave it alone.Chen Yan happily hugged Xiaotuanzi, and followed him to make shapes on his head.

So, Fang Zeng waited for his elder brother to come over seriously, and saw his little tuanzi dragging his elder brother's hair and being carried in by the elder brother with a heartless smile.Looking at Chen Yan in Jiwotou, Fang Zeng's heart flashed with pride. Sure enough, his family's Xiaotuanzi loved his father. Knowing that his father was being bullied by his uncle, this was to help his father vent his anger.

However, Fang Zeng didn't show it on his face, and hurried forward to take Xiaotuanzi.Xiao Tuanzi was upset, he was having fun, even though his father's face didn't help, he still didn't let go of Chen Mo, and gave Fang Zeng a small ass.Lay it on Chen Yan's chest, not showing his father the slightest bit of face.

Chen Yan looked at Fang Zeng with some complacency, as if saying in his eyes: "Look, look, my uncle is more popular than your father." He happily kissed Xiaotuanzi's forehead.

Fang Zeng had no choice but to retreat. In the end, Xiaotuanzi happily sat in Chen Yan's arms and played with Chen Yan's hair.Fang Zhiyuan saw Chen Yan and shouted, "Uncle!"

Chen Yan has always been very gentle with Fang Zhiyuan, and this time is no exception.After talking to Fang Zhiyuan well, tea was served on both sides. Chen Yan saw that everyone was there, so he gave Chen Mo the somewhat confused little dumpling.

Looking at Chen Yan's posture, Fang Zeng knew that Chen Yan had something to say.Sure enough, Chen Yan said to Fang Zeng: "I drank with my former colleagues today, and they said that the imperial court might send troops to the barbarians in the second half of this year. But now that the country has been safe for many years, the military has long been relaxed. Therefore, the imperial court may recruit soldiers from the people. "

"Conscription?" Fang Zeng asked in surprise.Everyone was also shocked by the news, and Chen Yan's family immediately said: "Father, are you going to the front line? What should I do? After so many years, the court is not always peaceful. How can this be?" Thinking about fighting the barbarians. The barbarians are very brave and good at fighting. The court fought them for so many years and just beat them away. Now that they are taking the initiative to send troops, what should we do with this battle?"

Chen Yan is the inspection department, born as a serious general.If there is a war, he will be the one who will bear the brunt of the battle, so it is no wonder that Chen Yan's family is not worried.After all, the barbarians have a great reputation. According to folklore, those barbarians can eat human flesh and drink human blood raw, so they can't deal with them.

Chen Yan said to his husband: "I'm fine. Although the imperial court wants to send troops, it can't ignore the safety of the various places. The inspection department usually uses local force to protect and protect the villagers, and the supervision and supervision of the yamen can do a good job. The imperial court also knew that they could not count on those who really used swords and guns. Therefore, the imperial court wanted to order conscription. Although there is no order yet, it will be a matter of time."

Chen Yan's family heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, as long as someone from his family went to the front line and escaped death, he would be more rational.It was time for Fang Zeng to speak, and asked Chen Yan: "Brother, is conscription a militia or something else? Do you want to be the same as before, every household must get a soldier? Is there any requirement, you Look, do you want my family to send soldiers?"

Chen Mo also looked at him nervously.Chen Yan said: "I think the imperial court conscripted soldiers on a per-household basis. However, it should be the same as in previous years. I remember that we had a conscription 30 years ago. My father went there at that time. It seems that there are two and Two or more men between the ages of 45 and 30 will be recruited for one soldier. However, it can also be paid in silver. Thirty years ago, there was a quota of 30 taels. Now, I don’t know. However, when the time comes, the conscription here will definitely It is through my hands, not to mention that you and your nephew have already separated, even if you are together without any separation, I can still guarantee one or two people."

Fang Zeng heard it and said: "That's it. If you are in charge of conscription, big brother, it will be a difficult task. This is not a flattering job. If you don't get it right, you will complain. This is all from the villagers. If you go to conscript, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing. But if you don’t do well, the imperial court won’t make it easier for you.”

Chen Yan was also troubled by this, but he came up from the countryside.This conscription is easy, but it is difficult for him.At that time, those folks from the countryside will come to the door, and how many can help, and if they are not satisfied with helping this or that, it will always be thankless.But I can't push it away, otherwise, I really have to stand by and watch, and don't expect to go back to the village in the future.

Chen Yan said: "No, the conscription is from the imperial court. I am just a young man, and I am dispatched by others. But this is something that offends others. I am different from those who come down from above. I was born and raised here. Do If things are really merciless, it will be difficult to lower your head and not see you when you look up. But I am a soft-spoken person, and I can’t sit down. When the time comes, I will inevitably fall. Oh, it’s difficult!"

As soon as Chen Yan's words came out, everyone lost their mind to speak.Chen Yan thought that it was rare for his younger brother to come back, so he couldn't let this matter disappoint him, and said, "Actually, it's okay. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. I'm a petty official after all. I follow the orders from above. These folks in the village have resentment." Sasha couldn't find me. At that time, at worst, I'll let the people below run around more, and hide by myself. By the way, Fang Zeng, Huzi is here too. I think your nephew's wedding should be arranged earlier It’s good, the imperial court is about to recruit soldiers, and the atmosphere will definitely be bad. If you are having a wedding, I’m afraid it will be in the eyes of others.”

Fang Zeng thought about it, looked at Fang Zhiyuan, Fang Zeng asked Chen Yan: "Brother, look, when will the conscription come down? If time is tight, I will go back and arrange Huzi's marriage right away. If I can After a few days, I'll do it more decently, after all, Hu Zi gets married once in a lifetime, and being too hasty also wronged their young couple."

Chen Yan thought about it and said: "I don't think you won't be able to get down in two or three months. However, the sooner you are, the sooner the better. I just heard Huzi say that you want to build a good house before getting married. I think Just set up a banquet at your house first, and it won't be too late to build a house after they get married. At worst, let the young couple move out next year."

Fang Zeng thought about it, but he had to discuss it with the Liu family.I just talked to Chen Yan about something else, and Chen Mo also brought Xiaotuanzi to find his aunt. He came to organize a wedding for Fang Zhiyuan, so of course he had to ask his aunt to handle things decently. That's good.

Fang Zhiyuan was also listening to Chen Yan's words. He originally wanted to build a good house, and then take Liu Amo over after he got married.But in this situation, it is more important to get married first.As for Liu Ahmo, when he and Ah Zhuang have a child, in the name of taking care of Ah Zhuang and the child, he can still take Liu Ah Mo over.

In the afternoon, the four members of the Fang family drove back in a mule cart.Xiaotuanzi was the happiest. He had the most abundant harvest this time. The small items given by his uncle, the clothes made by his uncle, and the delicious food given by his mother, all the packages were so full that they couldn't fit them all.

Fang Zeng smiled and said to Chen Mo in the car: "It seems that our Xiaotuanzi is more popular than the two of us. Today, Sanmao insisted on letting Xiaotuanzi stay at home with him, saying that he wanted to teach Xiaotuanzi Tuanzi knows how to read. Mo, why are you so cute when you talk about little things." He laughed at first.

Chen Mo said, "Ah Zeng, I think we will go to Liu's house today and make an appointment with Hu Zi and Ah Zhuang. I always feel that this matter should be done quickly. If the conscription comes down, Hu Zi Marrying Ah Zhuang also seemed lonely, after all, at that time, who would still be in the mood to drink wedding wine."

Fang Zeng thought about it, and said to Fang Zhiyuan who was driving the car: "Huzi, we will go directly to Liu Amo's house later."

Fang Zhiyuan hurriedly replied: "Uncle, I got it. You all sit down!" Fang Zhiyuan had already heard his uncle's words, and he already knew what to do when he went to Liu Zhuang's house.

And Liu Ah and Liu Zhuang are also preparing their dowry at home.Liu Ah is impatient. Fang Zhiyuan told him a few days ago that he wanted to end his marriage with Ah Zhuang in September this year.When Liu Ah heard it, there was no one who was unwilling. Although there were still a few months in September, Liu Ah still started to prepare for Liu Zhuang's dowry.

When Fang Zhiyuan was driving there, Ahma Liu was not surprised. In fact, Fang Zhiyuan was a frequent visitor to his house, which could not surprise Liu Ahmo.When she saw Fang Zeng and Chen Mo, Liu Ahma realized that the Fang family had come to him for something.

Ah Liu hurriedly invited people into the house and asked Liu Zhuang to come out to say hello.Liu Zhuang made sugar water for Chen Mo and Xiao Tuanzi, and poured tea for Fang Zeng and Fang Zhiyuan.After exchanging pleasantries, Fang Zhiyuan and Liu Zhuang went to the house with the small group, leaving room for the adults to talk.

Liu Amo didn't know the meaning of Fang Zeng and Chen Mo's visit today, so he hurriedly asked, "The head of the Fang family, what do you want to tell me about your visit today?" As he spoke, he looked at Fang Zeng and then at Chen Mo .

Fang Zeng said: "Ah Liu, today we are here to discuss the marriage between Ah Zhuang and Hu Zi. You see, the two of them have been engaged for so many years. I see that the two young ones have always been in a good relationship. I plan to arrange their marriage this month. I don't know if Liu Ama is willing or not."

Ah Liu was taken aback. At that time, he wanted Liu Zhuang to marry Fang Zhiyuan earlier, but there is still half a month left in this month, and this marriage is too hasty.Besides, Grandma Liu is just a grandson like Liu Zhuang. He prepared the dowry early and planned to let Liu Zhuang get married in a grand manner.

Getting married this month is absolutely not in line with Liu Ah's wish.However, Ahma Liu and the Fang family have been getting along well, and he knew that the Fang family was not unreasonable, so he did not refuse outright, but asked: "The head of the Fang family, this marriage is in such a hurry, is it because you meet Is something wrong?"

Fang Zeng looked at Chen Mo, and Chen Mo said to Liu Ah, "Liu Ah, you are not an outsider, so I can only tell you this. You must never say a word outside, or you will harm us .”

Upon hearing this, Amo Liu quickly promised: "Don't worry, Uncle Ayuan, my mouth is the strictest. Only the three of us have heard what I said today, and no one else will know it. Don't worry."

Chen Mo said: "Don't be offended, Liu Ah, my natal brother told me about this. If it is rumored that my elder brother is not good, please be more cautious this time. My elder brother is the inspection department. Soon, the imperial court will recruit troops from us."
