The expression on Shi Tou's face was really a bit embarrassing, and Shen Siyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"More houses means more roads, which I can leave to my children. I don't want to live with them in the future."
What? Kids?
Shitou nodded vigorously: This is possible.
Shitou, who had no idea that he could even get married, just ate the big cake that Shen Siyue had drawn for him.
The two of them chatted and laughed, and finally prepared dinner.
Each person made several of the soft, big pancakes topped with juicy wild boar meat.
After dinner, Shen Siyue leaned against the kang and didn't want to move.
"You know what, this place is really comfortable to lean on after dinner."
In this position, the original owner Shen Siyue never sat until her death.
In the Shen family, the east room is the exclusive place for Old Man Shen.
The small east room is a place that only Shen Lao Er is qualified to rely on.
It was only after she took over the small east room that she slept at the head of the kang for the first time.
But it has been such a long time, and Shen Siyue has never eaten a full meal. This is the first time she has eaten so full.
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting hotter and hotter, Shen Siyue couldn't stay any longer, so she got up and prepared to go back.
Shen Siyue walked in front, and Shitou followed at a distance until he saw her enter the house with his own eyes and then turned back home.
From then on, Shitou used his free time to make clay molds.
Then he would go into the mountains with Shen Siyue every two or three days, and they would go to the town together to deliver the wild animals they caught to Liu San.
Life is getting better and better!
Unexpectedly, just as the New Year was approaching, something happened in Dongliang Village that shocked the whole village!
On this day, just after noon, Liu Changshan was holding a broken gong and walking hurriedly around the village, beating it.
The clanging sound of the gongs shook out everyone, whether they were at home or not.
"Let's hold a meeting in the courtyard of the village office..."
Liu Changshan's hoarse voice, accompanied by the sound of gongs, continued to echo in the village.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?"
People who heard the noise hurried to the village.
No matter who I meet on the road, these three words are almost always the first thing they say.
But no one knew what happened, and everyone looked confused.
Generally, the village chief will only beat the gong to summon the villagers when something big happens in the village.
For example, distributing food, or requiring voluntary labor, etc.
But this year's voluntary work has been completed long ago. Logically speaking, there should be nothing to do now. I just have to wait for the New Year.
But hearing the village chief's anxious shouting made everyone feel nervous.
It felt like something big had happened, otherwise why would the village chief almost lose his voice from shouting?
After the courtyard of the village office was crowded with villagers, Liu Changshan stood on a big rock and first wiped the sweat from his forehead before banging the gong again.
"Quiet, quiet, there is something important I need to inform everyone about."
"This morning, the town called me over and said that five educated youths would come to our village in a few days."
After shouting these two sentences, Liu Changshan took several breaths. He was really angry and anxious.
The yard crowded with villagers immediately began to buzz with discussions!
At this time, someone asked the village chief loudly: "Village chief, what are educated youth?"
Liu Changshan slapped his thigh. He knew this new term: "The so-called educated youth are young people who have been to school in the city and come to our village to help us build the country."
The reason why Liu Changshan was so excited was that he had just heard the word "educated youth" this morning.
This morning, someone from the town government suddenly came on a bicycle to inform him to go to the town for a meeting.
It was so urgent that he was still confused until he sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
Then we arrived in town, and after a long speech, the meeting ended.
But he didn't understand a word.
In the end, he caught the young man who brought him here and found out that five educated youths were assigned to their Dongliang Village.
It was at that time that he asked the same question as the villagers: "What are educated youth?"
Then he got an answer that disappointed him.
Young masters and young ladies from big cities that are richer than their town are coming to their village to support rural construction?
At that time, Liu Changshan blurted out the most important question: "Can they farm?"
The young man shook his head hesitantly: "It should be... no?"
Liu Changshan immediately quit when he heard this: "Why come to the countryside if you can't farm? Isn't this just causing trouble?"
"Oh my god, sir, please don't tell anything to others!" The young man covered Liu Changshan's mouth.
"This is a decision made by the higher-ups. Be careful what you say!"
Liu Changshan's thin hands trembled. Realizing that he had just said something he shouldn't have said, he quickly pulled the young man aside.
"I think you are a very honest young man, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. But I am really upset to receive this notice out of the blue!"
The young man had to explain to him: "We are in a remote area, and the educated youths are already late. I heard that those from other places arrived long ago."
"This is a call from the country, and we must accept it, so you should first think about how to arrange it next."
"Then...then what do they eat? Do they have rations? They won't eat our village's rations, right? We don't have any extra food in our village!"
Liu Changshan threw out questions one by one like a machine gun.
The young man saw that this was because he did not listen carefully during the meeting. These issues were clearly discussed during the meeting.
"I'll tell you again, remember this: for the first five months, the state will provide them with food rations, and then they can go to the town to collect them themselves, or your village can help them collect them."
"After five months, I will exchange my work points for food, just like you villagers."
"Then...where to live?" Liu Changshan grabbed the young man who was turning around to leave.
The question hasn't been asked yet, why are you leaving?
The young man also had a lot of things to do, and his tone was filled with impatience: "I'll just live in your village, otherwise why would I need you, the village chief?"
"If there are empty houses in the village, let them live there. If not, let them live in the homes of commune members. We can always find a place for them."
"Okay, I have other things to do, go back and arrange them!"
Then he left Liu Changshan behind and left in a hurry.
Liu Changshan stood there for a long time before he reacted.
There are five ancestors coming to the village!!!
Their village doesn’t even have enough housing of its own, so how can there be any empty houses for the educated youth to live in?
There were a few empty rooms in the village, but they were used to store grain and farm tools, which were more precious than their lives.
How can we let those city kids who know nothing cause trouble?
Moreover, there was no kang in the room, so it was uninhabitable.
"Oh, what should I do?"
