Chapter 415: Looking for someone

Because of soybeans.

During the autumn planting season, we planted the soybeans that Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Jingye introduced at the time. When it was time to harvest the beans, we found that they were not only large and round, but also the yield per acre was half more than last year. For those who took good care of their fields, they even harvested more than half more.

Working the same amount of time on the fields and earning half as much money, isn't this a great thing? Therefore, the villagers were all smiling and in a very good mood.

Especially those who were originally hesitant, not knowing whether to plant or not, but after Zhuang Ruman came to their door and talked, they decided to plant the bean seeds without hesitation, and they understood one thing more and more.

You have to stay away from the black-hearted plague god and get closer to the God of Wealth like Zhuang Qingning, and your life will be better! Zhuang Jingye can be said to be the happiest person in the whole village, no doubt about it.

The people in the village, including himself, gained a lot of income by growing these beans, and his status in the whole village also rose a lot because of this.

When people from nearby villages heard about this, they all looked at him, the village head, with new eyes. It could be said that he had both the reputation and the reputation.

So much so that these past few days, Zhuang Jingye seemed to be humming a little tune and shaking his head while walking.

However, although he was happy, Zhuang Jingye knew that he could be like this at the moment because of Zhuang Qingning, so he specially took some dates, water radishes and sweet pumpkins from home and sent them to Zhuang Qingning's house.

But before they reached Zhuang Qingning's house, a young man came towards them, looking around.

Zhuang Jingye looked at the man with a strange face and couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He immediately became alert, "Where are you from and what are you doing here?"

"Uncle," the young man bowed, "Excuse me, is this Enji Manor?"

"Exactly. Are you looking for someone?"

It is quite common to come and look for relatives.

The young man nodded and said, "I would like to ask if there was a middle-aged couple named Hua who came here a few years ago? The wife was blind in one eye?"

"Are you a butcher looking for flowers?" Zhuang Jingye asked back.

Enji Village is not a wealthy village, and there is nothing good nearby. Since Zhuang Jingye became the head of the village, no one has come to seek refuge except Hua the butcher and Zhou Daya and her grandson.

Since you are asking about a middle-aged couple, they are probably the butcher.

"That's right." The young man was overjoyed, "It's the butcher who came to look for flowers."

"To be honest with you, I am the nephew of Hua the Butcher. Zheng Cheng, Hua the Butcher is my uncle."

As he spoke, Zheng Cheng actually sighed, "This is a long story. A few years ago, when my uncle insisted on marrying my aunt, my maternal grandfather's family was very pessimistic. As a result, my uncle fell out with my maternal grandfather and left home."

"After he left, there was no news. My grandparents cried all day long and often sent people to inquire about my uncle and aunt, but there was no news. As time went by, my grandparents gradually gave up the idea. But now my grandmother has passed away and my grandfather is seriously ill. He is very worried about my uncle's running away from home. He hopes to find my uncle and see him for the last time. Even if he dies immediately, he will feel at ease."

"My family asked around and finally got some news recently. They said they heard that my uncle and aunt had been around here before, so they came to take a look. After asking around, they ended up here."

"I see." Zhuang Jingye nodded.

No wonder when Hua the butcher came, he refused to say anything and just said he was fleeing from famine.

Originally, Zhuang Jingye did not agree to let people of unknown origin come to their village, but because the butcher seemed to be a well-behaved person, his blind wife seemed a bit pitiful, and there were no people slaughtering pigs and sheep nearby for a living, he let them stay there temporarily.

"But if you want to find Hua the butcher now, I'm afraid it won't work." Zhuang Jingye sighed and said, "A few years ago, Hua the butcher and his wife passed away one after another. Now the couple have been buried next to the cemetery in the village."

Zheng Cheng seemed very shocked by the death of Hua the Butcher. He stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

His eyes were red and his voice became a little hoarse, "I thought I could help my grandfather fulfill his wish, but I didn't expect that I would end up sending him away."

Seeing Zheng Cheng like this, Zhuang Jingye couldn't bear it and consoled him, "Humans are subject to misfortunes at any time. This matter is indeed very unpredictable."

"My grandfather missed my uncle very much and wanted us to go back to find him, but he didn't expect that my uncle and aunt were no longer alive. Now it seems that we can only take my uncle's ashes back to our hometown."

"It's just that the matter of relocating the grave is of great importance. I need to go home and discuss it with my family before making a decision." Zheng Cheng replied, "I want to go and take a look at the courtyard where my uncle used to live and see if there is anything I can bring back for my grandfather to see."

"That's right." Zhuang Jingye thought for a moment and said, "But when Hua the butcher came here, he said he was fleeing famine. His hometown had been hit by a flood and he had nowhere to live. He also said he was alone since he was a child and had no parents."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Since Hua the Butcher said that before, and now a nephew suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it makes people a little suspicious. You must be able to prove that you are indeed a family member of Hua the Butcher before I can let you enter Hua the Butcher's yard and take his things."

Zheng Cheng frowned immediately, "Yes, uncle, what you said is absolutely right. I will go find the village head and prove to him that I am indeed the relative of Hua the butcher."

"Excuse me, where does the head of the village live?"

"If you are looking for the head of the village, then you don't have to go through so much trouble. I am the head of the village. My name is Zhuang Jingye. You just need to tell me what you are doing." Zhuang Jingye replied.

"So you're the village head." Zheng Cheng bowed and spoke in a more polite tone, "My uncle, Hua the Butcher, was originally named Hua Daye. My aunt's surname was Su and her maiden name was Liu'er. Because of a disease in his mother's womb, his left eye was diseased. When he grew up, he could no longer see clearly with his left eye."

"By the way, my uncle was not tall. He was a little fat, and there was a small dark brown birthmark under his left eye. My grandfather said that he fell down from a tree when he was a kid, so he had a scar on his chin."

"My aunt fell ill before she got married, and the doctor said that she might not be able to have children in the future, so my uncle and aunt probably don't have any children..."

After listening to Zheng Cheng's words, Zhuang Jingye nodded slightly.
