"Everyone says you are a good cook, and I am lucky enough to have a good meal today," said the village chief.

"Uncle, haven't you ever eaten the food I cooked?" Song Jinxiu thought about it and it seemed that he really hadn't eaten it.

"Then you and your aunt should come over more often these days, and I will cook for you!" Song Jinxiu said with a smile.

People are so strange. The closer we are to someone, the more we are ignored.

"That's great. I can take a few days off." Aunt Cuihua replied with a smile.

"Okay, okay, starting tomorrow, just come over for dinner on time! Let you enjoy yourself too." Song Jinxiu said.

Everyone at the table was talking and laughing while eating. After the meal, Song Jinxiu didn't need to wash the dishes. Liu Ankang and Jin Heping were responsible for it.

The veteran was able to do the work of two men at once, and several of them stayed in the city for nearly half a month.

He cleared all the hidden dangers around him one by one and sat in various places.

Those scoundrels have the will but not the courage to commit crimes. The new government is very strict and they won't have a good life if they are caught.

However, several people saw that the two men came from the village and had no men at home, so they felt itchy and kept staring at them for so long without taking any action.

Now that he knew that this was someone he couldn't afford to offend, he ran to the next city overnight.

Song Jinxiu has had a very comfortable life in the past half month.

Dalinzi prepared breakfast before going out in the morning, so he could just eat breakfast and go out without even having to wash the dishes.

Song Jinxiu used to just grab a few bites at noon, but now when she gets home, the vegetables and meat are already cut up, and she just has to cook them herself! The same goes for dinner.

Song Jinxiu, who originally thought that she would be much busier with someone living in her house, actually became much more relaxed!

Song Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh, people nowadays are so honest!

As for food rations, was Song Jinxiu someone who needed this little rice? Moreover, the village had just sent her more than a dozen sacks of mountain products some time ago!

Because Song Jinxiu always went to the village during the holidays to try to harvest a lot of mountain products, everyone saw how much she liked them, so they gave some to her!

Anyway, it’s just a snack for the little kids, and if they don’t mind, the adults will have no objection either!

"Xiao Song, your way of treating guests is not good!" Uncle Lao Hei said and picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in his mouth!

"What's wrong?" Song Jinxiu asked in confusion. Was she not treating him well enough?

Uncle Lao Hei picked up some vegetables and took a bite of potatoes before speaking slowly.

"Look at these vegetables, look at these potatoes. Every day we eat bean rice, or noodles. We rarely get a whole grain meal in a week.

Even the vegetables are cooked so deliciously. You make people come here and don’t want to leave!" Uncle Laohei said seriously.

"Hahaha, Uncle Laohei, you scared me to death! I was so nervous for so long." Song Jinxiu listened attentively, but who knew that the reversal would come so quickly!

"Don't take it lightly. Uncle is teaching you how to properly treat guests. If anyone comes to visit again in the future, give them porridge with pickles for every meal.

I'm talking about pickles straight from the vat, no need to fry them," said Uncle Laohei.

"Tomorrow you will give him a beating just like he said." Uncle Gao said from the side.

"No, no! I'm talking about others. Do they know? I definitely won't be treated that way if I come here."

Uncle Laohei turned sideways and whispered to Song Jinxiu, "Next time if your uncle Gao comes by himself without me, you should do the same to him."

Before Song Jinxiu could answer, Uncle Laohei's ear was grabbed.

"It hurts, it hurts! Let go, let go. I'm telling you, please give me some face in front of the child! Otherwise I will be angry with you." Uncle Lao Hei saved his ear and rubbed it gently.

"I'll tell you not to talk nonsense. If you have something to say, don't say it in front of me. Do you think I'm deaf or blind?" Uncle Gao said, giving Uncle Laohei a blank look.

"That's not possible. If you didn't hear me, and you really come without me next time, I will be at a great loss!" Uncle Laohei muttered.

"Eating can't stop your mouth." Uncle Gao picked up a piece of potato and stuffed it into Uncle Hei's mouth.

"Just don't complain that I'm not hospitable enough. You can stay here as long as you want." Song Jinxiu said proudly.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll take care of them when you're not around! They almost have everything they need provided for them. It's much more comfortable than living in the village." Dalinzi said from the side.

"Thank you for your hard work! Eat more." Song Jinxiu said to Dalinzi.

"It's not hard, it's what I should do. We are all family." Dalinzi said with a chuckle.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore." Uncle Gao interrupted them and said to Song Jinxiu. "Song girl, we have been here for so long and have caused you so much trouble. We should go back tomorrow."

"Ah, why so sudden?" Song Jinxiu asked in surprise. She had never heard them talk about it before!

"Living with this old black guy every day, I'm fed up with it even if you're not annoyed." Uncle Gao looked at Uncle Old Black with disdain.

"Hey, you skinny guy, I don't mind that you are as thin as a stick, and you dare to look down on me? What's wrong with being a little darker? Being darker means being healthier, what do you know?" Uncle Black was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet.

"Okay, okay, if you want to fight, do it when you get home. Let's eat first." Uncle Gao picked up a piece of vegetables for Uncle Hei with his chopsticks and started eating by himself.

Uncle Laohei looked at Uncle Gao and said, forget it, eating is more important.

Song Jinxiu was eating with relish on the side. It was really interesting to see these two people together.

Early the next morning, the village chief and his men returned to the village, and Song Jinxiu resumed her peaceful life.

The holiday was coming soon, and after six months of hard study, the children all achieved good results.

Liu Ankang was even more amazing, becoming one of the few students in the school who scored full marks in all subjects.

Song Jinxiu was so happy that she added another dish for them that night to celebrate.

It's time to prepare to go back to the village during the holidays. Aunt Cuihua has to go back and get busy preparing for the New Year.

Song Jinxiu couldn't go back because she had to go to work, so she could only wait until the 28th day of the lunar year to go back.

This was all thanks to Uncle Dong's connections, because the department store needed people to work during the New Year holidays.

Song Jinxiu couldn't go back, and Liu Ankang couldn't go back either. He could go to the bookstore to read in the city.

The children were also tempted, and finally unanimously decided to postpone their return for a week. There was nothing to do back home anyway, so they might as well read here.

So, Dalinzi only took Aunt Cuihua and some of the luggage.

There are a lot of quilts in winter. Two or three people can squeeze together here and don’t need so many quilts. You can take them home and use them when you go back.

In the past two years, there have been a lot of people getting married. As the number of single men and women in the village decreases, Song Jinxiu feels the pressure doubled.

The aunts all turned their eyes to me, as if I had become the problem they wanted to solve.

Although Song Jinxiu and Liu Ankang already have city household registration, their land is still there.

The little donkey was also kept to work for them, so they could still get a lot of food every year.
