Zhou Zhou Lang just straightened up and wanted to take a look, when a whip came out of nowhere and hit the ground next to him, the officer shouted: "What are you looking for, hurry up and work, if you can't do this section well today, everyone will be killed." Don't call it a day!"
Zhou Zhoulang immediately nodded.
Man Bao roared, seeing that the third brother didn't respond, he climbed onto Wu Lang's neck, sat on it and yelled at the crowd again, "Third brother—"
Now the overseer finally saw a few children, pointed at them with a whip, "Hey, what are you doing, children?"
There was also Lao Ding who looked up quietly. The Lao Dings were so gray that Man Bao couldn't recognize them, but the villagers in Qili Village could easily recognize them.
Goro and Liulang of the Zhou family, especially the one sitting on the neck, isn't that the baby pimple of the Zhou family
Immediately, someone shouted, "Zhou Zhoulang, your brother and sister are here to look for you!"
Although the officials supervised the work, they were not so strict that they were not allowed to speak, but they were not allowed to be lazy and play tricks.
Zhou Zhoulang heard clearly now, and ignored the whip, he raised his head abruptly, turned his head and saw Man Bao sitting on the neck of the fifth child, his eyes widened, and he yelled, "Man Bao, you Why are you here?"
The messenger glanced at the child over there, and waved at Zhou Zhoulang in disgust: "Go, go, I'll give you a quarter of an hour, come back to work quickly."
Zhou Zhoulang repeatedly bowed his head and bowed his thanks, dropped the hoe and ran over there.
Man Bao finally recognized her third brother in the gray crowd, because she saw her third brother running towards her.
Man Bao hugged Zhou Wulang's neck, and was about to slide down skillfully, but Saturday Lang quickly hugged her down.
Bai Shanbao looked very envious, and decided that when he went back, he must ask Man Bao's brother to let him sit, he had never sat on an adult's neck before.
Zhou Zhoulang rushed up, first he was so happy that he wanted to hug Man Bao, but then he retracted his hands when he thought that his body was covered with dust, and then looked at Zhou Wulang, "Old Wu, something happened at home?"
"No," Wu Wulang said bravely, "Man Bao said she missed you, so I came to see you, third brother, I, we miss you too, the military service is very hard."
It's only been a few days since I've been here, not to mention my dark circle, and I've also lost a lot of weight, and all the meat I've managed to raise before is gone.
But Zhou Zhoulang narrowed his eyes with a smile, shook his head and said: "It's not hard, really, Man Bao is ignorant in such a cold day, and you are also ignorant, it's such a long journey..."
Zhou Zhoulang babbled, and subconsciously wanted to touch the money, asking Manbao to go home and buy candy.
Man Bao had already taken out a candy from her pocket, peeled off the oiled paper, and stuffed it into his mouth. With a distressed expression, she tiptoed to touch his face, "Third brother, you've lost weight."
Zhou Zhoulang bent over, feeling that his heart was irritated, but he was not very good at talking, he just kept shaking his head, "It's not hard work, it's not hard work."
Man Bao watched them digging the dirt on the side of the road curiously, "Third brother, what are you doing?"
"Building roads," Zhou Zhoulang was very happy, but he didn't know how to express it, so he kept talking to Man Bao about their military service, pointing to the two ditches on the side of the road: "There is a lot of water here, did you see that? Now the official roads are full of potholes. It is because the rainwater cannot be drained out and the road is damaged. Now we dig two small ditches, and then take the mud to fill the pits. In the future, the water on the road will be drained into the ditches, and the road will not be smooth. It's going to go bad so fast."
Pointing to a row of thatched huts in the open space in the distance, he said, "That's our residence, all of which were temporarily built. We are responsible for the official road in Bali and the nearby water conservancy, so we live here..."
Man Bao listened carefully and asked several questions. Zhou Zhoulang also explained in detail, such as what the water conservancy included.
"It's actually very simple. It's just digging ditches, four feet wide and five feet deep, to surround these farmlands, from there to here..." Zhou Zhoulang was very envious when he said it, and said: "I don't know if the county magistrate When will someone repair our village's water conservancy, if our village also has such a ditch, it will be much more convenient."
"So building water conservancy is a good thing?" Man Bao asked.
Zhou Zhoulang smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing."
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other, scratched their heads, and said in a low voice: "But didn't you say in the village that you don't want to serve in the army or do water conservancy work?"
Zhou Zhoulang immediately looked around and found that the official was not paying attention, so he whispered: "It's not the water conservancy of my village, let us fix it, of course we are not happy..."
And it's really hard work.
But as soon as the thought came to him, Zhou Zhoulang smiled again.
Man Bao basically understood that good things are still good things, but good things don't happen to those who repair water conservancy.
Man Bao wanted to ask again, but the official over there was urging, "Zhou Zhou Lang, hurry back to work!"
Zhou Zhoulang responded and asked Wu Zhoulang to take Manbao back immediately, and then hurried over to work.
It's so easy to get here, even if Man Bao is willing to go back, Bai Shanbao is also unwilling.
So the two of them took out a small notebook from their small bags, took a pen, rubbed the ink on the spot, and went to ask someone to ask questions.
Wu Wulang and Saturday Lang looked in awe, their Yaomei was really amazing, she could write articles at such a young age, and then they followed curiously to read.
With the help of Keke, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao formulated a very concise and clear questionnaire, and these questions were memorized in a small book.
The two children squatted in front of Lao Ding and asked how many people there were in their family, how many strong men there were, how the family distributed labor, what kind of things were prepared for the family when they went out this time, and under what circumstances, the imperial court would not issue a labor order. They will also rush to repair water conservancy and official roads
The Laudins didn't want to answer at first, they were already very tired from work, who would have time to take care of the two baby dolls
But one of these two milk dolls is holding a notebook and brush, and the other is holding an inkstone. They look very tall, and people can tell that they are scholars at a glance.
Although everyone has no chance to read and write, they are in awe of scholars.
So everyone took the time to answer their strange questions. An officer noticed the situation here and came over with a whip. He saw Bai Shanbao squatting down and taking notes. Frowning, he waited for him to raise his head before saying: "Young master, young lady, this is not a place for you to play, hurry up and go elsewhere."
Bai Shanbao said: "This is the homework assigned by our master, we have to complete it."
The officials thought that their husband was just messing around. If such a young child came here, who would be to blame if something happened to him
He said: "If you have any questions, just ask me, I can answer them."
