"Of course not. If it were, would I still be standing here and talking to you so much?"

The man thought about it carefully and felt that what Lin Qi said made some sense.

"I'm so sorry, I misunderstood. Excuse me, little brother, what can I do for you?"

He asked, subconsciously looking in the direction of the snowplow.

When he saw the dazzling headlights, he quickly averted his gaze. "What is that? Why are the lights so bright? What kind of car is this? Why have I never seen it before? Judging from the clothes he's wearing, he must be from a wealthy family. Why would he come to our poor village in such weather?"

Before Lin Qi could answer, he heard footsteps behind him.

Turning around, he saw Sang Jueqian and Li Junyan coming, so he quickly stepped aside.

Li Junyan walked forward and smiled at the man. "We went to the mountains for a reason. It was late when we came back, so it was difficult to travel at night. So we wanted to stay overnight in your village. I wonder if that's possible."

Without waiting for the man to answer, Li Junyan continued, "We won't stay here for free. We will give you some food and charcoal as compensation. Our demands are not high. We just want a place to rest for one night. We will leave tomorrow morning."

The man hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed with a smile. "Sir, you're too polite. It's just a one-night stay, not a big deal. How dare I ask for payment from you? Please come in, gentlemen."

Li Junyan ignored him and only ordered Lin Qi, "Go get two bags of charcoal from our car, and some food and other food."

"yes."

Lin Qi agreed and brought the guard back here to get the things.

Li Junyan and Sang Jueqian followed the man into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, a warm breeze hit me in the face.

Looking closely, you can see that the house is quite large, with three rooms and no wall in between.

There was a stove in the middle of the room, with a large iron pot on top, bubbling inside, as if pork rib soup was being cooked.

There is a five-meter-long kang on each side, and a stove is connected to the head of the kang.

There was also a fire burning in the stove, and in two large pots, one was boiling water and the other was steaming something.

The room was not only steaming hot, but also filled with the aroma of various foods mixed together.

On such a cold day, staying in a house like this just makes people feel comfortable.

There were quite a few people in the room, both men and women.

Because they were inside the house, they were not wrapped very tightly and their faces were exposed.

Judging from their facial features, they are probably in their twenties or thirties.

It is normal for a family to have many people. After all, in this era, people are the labor force. If you want to live a good life and not be bullied by others, you must have a large family.

But under normal circumstances, a family must have elderly people, children, and young people. How is it possible that eight or nine people in the house are all in their twenties or thirties?

Moreover, these people are of different heights, weights, and looks, and they don’t look alike at all. They don’t look like a family at all.

The moment Sang Jueqian saw them, his heart rose to his throat.

But she was someone who had seen a lot of ups and downs, so she adjusted herself quickly, not even showing it on her face, and not letting the other person notice anything was wrong.

The man who led them into the house was smiling and introducing them. "There are quite a lot of people in our family. These are all my cousins. The weather is bad now. If we live separately, we will waste too much firewood. So we just live together. This way we can eat and drink together. It's more lively here, and it's warmer with more people. It can also save a lot of firewood."

Even though we have a large family, our kang is very large. Ten people can sleep on it. At night, the men can have their own kang and the women can have their own. There will definitely be no problem.

At this point, the man glanced at Li Junyan a little embarrassedly, "Sir, was my words just now too vulgar? We country people are illiterate, and sometimes our words can be unpleasant. Please don't take it too seriously."

Li Junyan smiled faintly, "Don't be nervous, I'm not angry, but my wife and I don't like sleeping separately. At night, there are four of us on one kang, so there should be enough room for nine of you. I'll give you an extra bag of coal as compensation, what do you think?"
