Chapter 3：

Xu Qing and the others came early, but the people selling vegetables on this street are almost there. Farmers don’t have the habit of sleeping late, and there are particular families in the town who like to buy vegetables earlier and buy fresh ones, thank you Ah Mo’s eggs are all recently saved, and anyone with a discerning eye can see them. They are fresh and large enough. They were bought by a Mo Mo in a short time. I bought 20 eggs for 30 cents. This also requires fresh eggs. This is a good price. Generally, it’s twenty-five articles. Xie Ama bought a good price in a good mood, "Go, Qing brother, what do you want to buy, let’s go shopping!"

Xu Qing was also infected by the happy atmosphere of Xie Ama, and his unconscious tone was a little excited, "I want to buy piglets, and chickens, and...", "Well, well, let's take it slowly. Follow me." Xie Ama looked at Xu Qing, who was thin but not consciously shining, with kind eyes, and took him to the place where piglets were sold.

"It's the end of winter, and there are few piglets sold. Let's try our luck and buy the ones with long spirits. If it doesn't work, come next time. Don't worry. I will pay the price later. I will pay the price. You are young. I’m inexperienced, watch a little bit more, and it’s not easy to lose money in the future." Xie Ama told Xu Qing as he walked, watching Xu Qing nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and he was even more satisfied. He is a good guy.

Now I can think of it to go to the market. Then I really let go. When I grow up, I have to see which guy hasn’t married a wife yet, so I can help Qing brother, or wait for Qing brother second. Eleven years old is not good, Xie Ama is a little worried, because in this world brothers are twenty-one, men who are twenty-four and have not been married, you have to listen to the government's words and get the official match! That's not a good destination. Those who are waiting for official appointments can't find a brother, either a lazy man or someone with a disability!

Xie Ama looked at Xu Qing, who was constantly curiously looking at the market with her neck stretched around her. His heart softened. He was still like a child when he was in his twenties. He could talk about it with Brother Qing another day. He also thought of an official match when he wanted to come. Things will make such a big change and get out of the village.

Xu Qing, who is dazzled by various ancient architecture fans at the bazaar, doesn’t know what Xie Ama is thinking. He doesn’t even know that there are official rules in the world, otherwise he won’t be popular. I couldn't sleep anymore, and I didn't have the mood to look at the antique house in front of me.

They are lucky, they happen to have a few long spirited little piglets. Although they are not big, they are long enough. As long as they spend a little time on raising them, they will surely be able to raise a big pig, because the piglet is just right. It was the people in the village of Xie Ama’s family, who also had some friendships, so the original 650 liter piglet was also discounted to 600 liters.

Xie Ama took advantage of Xu Qing’s giving money to her master, and pulled her master’s daughter-in-law, Liu Ma, "Hey, help me pay attention to something and see which down-to-earth men in Jixiang Village have not yet been married. Lead my little nephew!" Liu Mo Mo followed Xie A Mo's eyes, just in time to see Xu Qing's profile face with his head down and money. Although white, there were obvious red bumps on his face... "This is the Xu family. The one?" Xie Ama gave Liu a glance, "Why, you are just like those people with shallow eyelids!"

"Hey, what are you talking about! Wrap it with me. At this time, many soldiers came back from the village to serve in the military, and many of them didn't say anything about them!" Xie Ama hurriedly said, "You have to be good. Look, I'll check it again when that happens!" "Don't worry, don't worry, wrap it on me!"

"Thank you, what are you talking about?" After Xu Qing paid the money, he told the boss, the guy from Liu Mo Mo's family, that he would wait until he finished buying other things and then pick up the piglet. He saw Xie A Mo and Liu Mo. Talking babbled and babbled together. "Ah, no, it's just that I haven't returned to my parents' house for a long time, so I asked you to bring a message to the family, right?"

Liu Momo immediately said: "Yeah, yeah, you guys go shopping first, I will tie this piglet to you alone, and then come and hold it when you are finished, ah!" Xu Qing heard quickly. Thank you, although I said it to the boss, but the lady boss mentioned it again, and he felt more at ease.

"Why are you staring at someone's back? Although that brother is a bit ugly, he is still a good boy." The Liu family man looked at his wife staring at Xu Qing and their leaving back in a daze, somewhat puzzled. , "Bah, baah, what ugly is not ugly! Stay and go! Annoying!" Liu Moya drove his annoying man, and began to find out which man in the village came back with a more solid character.

Under the leadership of Xie Ama, Xu Qing quickly bought salt and a seasoning similar to pepper. When buying clothes, Xie Ama grabbed Xu Qing and said, "What kind of clothes to buy! Let's talk about it. Do it! It's much better than buying it." Xu Qing was taken aback, he couldn't do it! Seeing Xu Qing's "what if I can't do it" face, Xie Ama was a little amused: "Pull the cloth up, Ama do it!" Xu Qing waved his hand hurriedly, "How can this be, it's too much trouble." "What's the trouble? That's it." Xie Ama took Xu Qing in the shop and picked out the cloth that suits his brother's color.

Xu Qing thought for a while and pulled the sleeve of Laxie Ama, "Then thank you, Ama, you make me clothes, and I have to pay you the wages, otherwise I just buy it and don't want you to do it in vain." Finally in Xu Qing Xie Ama reluctantly agreed with Xie Ama’s insistence, but thought that when the clothes were ready, he didn’t collect the money from his brother, and Xu Qing talked to the cloth shop when Xie Ama was picking the fabrics. The boss asked a little bit about the price of the clothes, and he knew in his heart, "Come on, Brother Qing, come and see how these pieces of cloth are."

Xu Qing walked over and looked at the three dark blue, light purple, and light green fabrics Xie Ama picked, and touched, "Well, although it is linen, it feels good." He doesn't know how to buy silk cloth. , Not to mention eye-catching, inconvenient to work, no hardships in the last days, and will not pick and choose. Three pieces of cloth are sixty essays in total. If you buy a finished piece of clothing, it’s fifty essays, which is not a good deal.

Xie Ama looked at Xu Qing with a look of rejoicing and joked, "Yes, I can't think of the difference between the finished product and the fabric so much. By the way, Xie Ama, I still want to buy some chicken and pork." Xu Qing sighed and immediately sighed. Thinking that I hadn't bought everything, I immediately said anxiously, "Now the sun is coming up, it's almost noon, and there are no chicken sellers, so let's do it, anyway, my family will hold the chickens soon. Come to my house to hug them anyway. "

When Xu Qing heard it, he looked at Xie Ah with a grin, "Then I will sell you the price at the market, otherwise I wouldn't want it." "Well, okay." "I want fifteen chickens." Zai!" He immediately made his request, which surprised Xie Ama, "So many, can it be done by one person?" Xu Qing patted his thin small chest with his hand, "Of course I can. I'll give you a taste!" Xie Ama, who was amused by Xu Qing's appearance, smiled and said, "Thank you, Ama can wait!" After saying that, Xu Qing's face was immediately seen. A look of "I am very satisfied" emerged, and I was happy again.

Those who passed by them were a little puzzled, "This little guy is ugly or ugly, but his smile is sweet."

After Xie Ama and Xu Qing bought a pound of pork belly, they took the piglet and hurried to the place Uncle Li said. "Here here!" Uncle Li, who saw the two of Xu Qing from a distance, looked at Xu Qing holding the piglet, and drove the donkey cart over. "Uncle Li, why are you alone here?" Xu Qing was somewhat I wonder, when I came this morning, there were a lot of donkey carts parked here.

"Oh, brother Qing, you don't know, today is the day when the men who served in the military service return to their hometown!" Xie Amo thought Xu Qing had forgotten and explained the reason to him. He didn't even know that he didn't know at all, "Yes. , So the donkey carts have ran several times, and I also ran several times before I got here and saw you."

Uncle Li is in a very good mood. Today, I took a few trips and earned some money to buy some delicious food for my daughter-in-law and children to make them happy. After putting the piglet on the donkey cart, Xu Qing was a little guilty. Ask Xie Aye, "Thank you, you know I don’t go out often, this dynasty and the upper one," Xu Qing pointed at the sky with his finger, "Who is it?" Xie Aye didn’t doubt anything, only thought Xu After seeing it clearly, people became more lively with them, "We are in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the emperor is in his prime of life, so it’s good to pay taxes to our people..."

Xu Qing thought that this "Qin Dynasty" was not the Qin Dynasty in ancient China. "Why would there be military service then? Isn't this world not peaceful?" Xu Qing was a little worried, but he didn't want to wear a war. Times, "This is not the case, this is the practice of several generations of dynasties, I don't know why." Xie Ama didn't know why, but it didn't matter what happened to them like the people, so Xu Qing popularized military service. Knowledge.

This dynasty recruited military service every five years, and every family had to have a man to enter. People who had served in the military did not need to enter for fifteen years. If the family had a husband, all the children they could have were brothers. The man in charge who also served in the military can pay taxes instead. When his original body was born, Xu father went to perform military service. He didn’t come back until he was five years old, and he stayed until Xu Qing was fifteen. When Xu father and the others died, their family was Taxes are paid every five years instead of military service. Now Xu Qing is 20. Two months later, he will be 21. All the men who served in the military are back this year. Xu Qing is relieved. He can only As a man, and still a brother, it seems that he can make money for future taxation.

Uncle Li sent them to the fork in the morning. After helping Xu Qing to put the piglets and the things off, he took the donkey cart and went back. After Xie Ama put the things down, he helped Xu Qing drive the piglets to Xu Qing. In the pigpen, and then went back. Today, there were people in the village who went to perform military service and looked at a child who was five years old. The man returned home and he was full of joy. At this noon, I saw the smoke in the village, Xu Qing watched for a while, closed the courtyard door, and prepared to cook lunch.
