He Ersao had been listening attentively. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to call her name. She grinned and said, "Okay, mother."

Mrs. He almost couldn't breathe. This old man was too biased!

In the countryside at night, there is no noise of traffic, only the sound of cicadas and frogs.

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi walked hand in hand on the country road. Lin Xiangyi asked what Xie Qingxiao had just said to Village Chief Xie and others in the house.

"...We talked about a lot of random things, asked about our business, and discussed the situation outside," Xie Qingxiao said, lowering his head to look at Lin Xiangyi's feet.

He held a flashlight in one hand and held Lin Xiangyi's hand with the other to prevent her from falling on the narrow country road.

Lin Xiangyi nodded and asked, "Do you think the old village chief and his men are particularly nice to us?"

"Yes," Xie Qingxiao nodded. "The old village chief cares about Longjing Village and is a smart man. He has probably noticed the changes outside and thinks that we are the first to try it out in the village. If we can really do it, they will help us and we can give back to the village in the future."

Lin Xiangyi raised her eyebrows: "That's true."

Neither she nor Xie Qingxiao had much interaction with the old village chief before. The old village chief was very enthusiastic towards them when they met for the first time and approved the homestead land for them without any further ado.

She felt it was a little strange, so she went back and asked Xie's father and mother about the old village chief's character, and guessed that this was the reason.

"The old village chief really thinks highly of us," Xie Qingxiao said with some amusement.

When he realized the old village chief's intention, he also found it outrageous. He used to be known as a second-rate person in the village, but the old village chief turned around and placed such high hopes on him.

I don't know where his confidence comes from.
