Chapter 159 I hate it

The couple finally laughed. The matter of Luozhou is temporarily out of hand, but it is necessary to prevent problems before they happen.

County Magistrate Shen felt that the villages along the river near Xijiang County had to be prepared without causing panic.

Early the next morning, a notice from the county government was sent to Fuyuan Village, ordering excavation along the river to divert water and prepare for land reclamation.

The villagers were all boiling in an instant. Every family has to take this thing of corvee, and every family has to go, but if they follow the usual service, they may have to travel through mountains and rivers. Compared with those, it is near their home now, and it is still May It's just digging a ditch in this lukewarm weather, and it won't make people squeeze their heads?

Ning Fengnian and Ning Erlang couldn't wait to register, and then saw Uncle Ning who hadn't seen him for a long time at the registration office.Of course, neither of them stepped forward to talk to him, they turned around and left after registering, pretending that they didn't see him.

Uncle Ning didn't want to come either, but the third brother couldn't count on it. The old man was so old that if he went, he would be poked in the back by the villagers, so he had to go up by himself, just digging ditches. It's better than going out to serve in the army, isn't it?

After losing the big brother as a labor force in the old house, everything is really inconvenient.

He was reluctant to go, but he didn't expect that this job could not be chosen by anyone, the list was sent up for screening, and the magistrate Shen crossed out his name as soon as he saw it.

When serving corvee, a family must send one person, but this job of digging canals can be reported a few more. The list sent by Fuyuan Village is very long, almost including all the males who have no work at home for the time being. What everyone thinks is people. There are many opportunities, and the possibility of being selected is also high, but if one of the family is selected, that is also excellent.

But like the Ning family, where both father and son won, it is very enviable.

Firstly, the work of digging river channels is not heavy, and it is much easier than corvee labor. Second, if the people who come to work do not plan to participate in corvee labor, the wages are quite generous.

The father and son of the Ning family could have one of them go to corvée and one of them get paid. This income is no worse than that of a day laborer.

On the contrary, Ning Erlang himself was a little surprised. He just listened to his sister to fill in a name, but he didn't expect to choose it directly?
"But, what about the street stall in my county?"

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "I know I miss your little stall."

Ning Erlang tugged at her ear: "If I remember correctly, you seem to be the one who asked me to set up the stall, right? Tomorrow is the day to renew the stall. If I go to dig the river, who will pay for it?"

Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "No need to hand it in."

Ning Erlang glared at her, Xiaoxiao didn't care at all, and said bluntly, "I don't like earning dozens of pennies a day."

Ning Erlang's teeth are itchy, this stinky sister, she was the one who pushed him away from the income from the stall, but now she is the one who despises the one who earns less money, is it fun to torment him?

"Then what will I do for a living in the future?"

Xiaoxiao looked at him and smiled: "Be the boss."

Ning Erlang felt that his sister was teasing him, but he didn't take it seriously at all, and after a night of self-persuasion, he could already firmly accept the fact that he would dig river channels with his father instead of setting up a stall in the future.

It shouldn't matter if the stall stops for a month, maybe if we go back next time, the old customers will already be looking for him everywhere.

The cheerful Ning Erlang had a good night's sleep and got up to eat the breakfast prepared by his sister. Ning Fengnian wiped his mouth after drinking the hot rice soup Xiao Xiaosheng gave him: "Our county magistrate is really fast, just do what you say, and finish it The Dragon Boat Festival is about to start digging."

Xiaoxiao and her elder brother exchanged glances, and they both remembered the conversation they had when they first met County Magistrate Shen.
