Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao didn't listen to what happened next. Since they were not going to have dinner together, it was none of their business.
"Xiaoyu, when are we going to move out?"
In the room, Gao Xiaotao asked in a low voice.
Feng Lingyu: "I'll go find the village chief later. If things go well, we can move out tonight."
This morning, Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao went out not just to take a walk, but mainly to look for a suitable house so that she and Xiaotao could move out together.
Use two candies to ask a child if there are any unoccupied houses in the village.
The child said that a family named Hou in the village wanted to sell their house.
So Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao went to see the Hou family's house.
It’s no wonder that the Hou family’s house looks very new, as if it was built only a few years ago. What makes Feng Lingyu most satisfied is that this house has a high wall that can completely block the prying eyes from outside.
The geographical location is also very advantageous, at the foot of the mountain, some distance away from the nearest houses in the village.
This perfectly meets all of Feng Lingyu's needs.
"Village Chief Yang, are you busy?" Feng Lingyu knocked on the door of the village branch office embarrassedly.
Seeing that it was Feng Lingyu, Yang Jianguo thought, this saves me the trouble of looking for her.
"Feng Zhiqing, what can I do for you?"
"Village chief, I heard that there is a family named Hou in the village who wants to sell a house. I want to buy it."
Feng Lingyu didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
The Hou family is considered a well-off family in Qingshan Village, and his son is serving in the army.
The Hou family had built a new house a few years ago for their son's retirement. But not long after, their son made contributions in the army and was promoted, so he took his parents to live with him.
Since he might never come back, he asked the village to sell his house.
Yang Jianguo looked at Feng Lingyu and said, "The Hou family's house has three main rooms and three side rooms, and a large yard. The asking price is not low."
There are actually many people who want to buy this house, but the price is too high, 500 yuan, how can people in the village afford it? So it has never been sold.
Moreover, Yang Jianguo felt that the conditions at the educated youth camp were already very good and there was no need for him to buy a house to live in. He also meant well.
"How much?" Feng Lingyu thought that as long as the price was not too high and he was not being taken advantage of, he would buy it.
"500 yuan. Although the price is very expensive, this house is made of the best materials. You know that the winter in Northeast China is very cold. This house has a fire wall. As long as there is enough firewood, the room will be very warm." Yang Jianguo explained why the house was expensive.
I thought Feng Lingyu would back down after knowing the price, but unexpectedly, after hearing the reason why it was so expensive, she nodded with satisfaction:
"It would be even better if there was a firewall. Village chief, I'll buy this house."
"Do you really want to buy it? It's not cheap!"
Yang Jianguo asked Feng Lingyu one last time.
"Buy it!" Feng Lingyu said without hesitation.
Six rooms with a big yard, not to mention a firewall, 500 yuan is not a high price.
"Well, I'll show you the house."
Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao just walked around the outside of the Hou family's house today. They hadn't looked inside yet, so they followed the village chief to see the house.
Yang Jianguo took Feng Lingyu to the foot of the mountain. At this time, most of the villagers were working, and they didn't meet anyone along the way.
When they passed a patch of weeds on the road, Yang Jianguo pretended to be casual and said, "Do you see that patch of grass? There used to be a beautiful house there."
"What about the house? Why did it become a lawn?"
Feng Lingyu asked without changing his expression, but his hands hanging by his sides slowly clenched.
There will be no other houses in Qingshan Village except the Feng family’s ancestral home.
"The house was on fire. It was a huge fire that burned all day and all night..."
Yang Jianguo said quietly that looking at the grass, it was like going back to the day when the house was burned down.
"Really? Why did the house burn down?" Feng Lingyu lowered his eyes, and blood dripped from between his clenched fingers onto the ground.
"I don't know. The fire started very suddenly. It was the middle of the night. By the time we found out, it was too late."
"It hasn't been long since the house was burned, right?" Feng Lingyu tried his best to calm his turbulent emotions and asked calmly.
I didn't expect Feng Lingyu to have such a strong observation ability. The weeds on that piece of land were already very tall at this time, and you couldn't see any signs of burning unless you looked carefully.
Yang Jianguo replied: "I had a fever in March this year, when the weather was still very cold."
Yang Jianguo carefully observed Feng Lingyu's expression with his peripheral vision and found that there was no change at all. It seemed that he had to take drastic measures.
So he continued, "Before the founding of the country, we in Qingshan Village were all tenant farmers. The land here belonged to one family, the owner of that house - the Feng family."
When saying the last two words, Yang Jianguo stared at Feng Lingyu closely, not missing any emotional fluctuations on her face.
But Feng Lingyu did not do as he wished and remained calm.
"Oh, really?"
"What a coincidence! Your last name is also Feng. What's more, you look very similar to the previous head of the Feng family." Yang Jianguo stopped and said to Feng Lingyu with a smile.
Yang Jianguo has almost made it clear that he wants to know Feng Lingyu's identity.
Feng Lingyu also had to stop, "Village Chief, what do you mean?"
"The Feng family once saved the lives of all of us in the village. Almost all the elders in the village have seen the faces of the Feng family."
Yang Jianguo said two irrelevant words meaningfully and continued walking towards the Hou family.
Feng Lingyu understood what he meant.
First, Yang Jianguo wanted to tell Feng Lingyu that the Feng family had a favor to Qingshan Village, so it would be okay if their identities were exposed;
The second reason was to tell her that her identity could not be concealed. After all, the old people in the village would become suspicious when they saw her face.
"Village Chief Yang." Feng Lingyu called Yang Jianguo.
Yang Jianguo turned around and saw Feng Lingyu walking towards him step by step. He was no longer as cold as before.
She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled an evil smile: "Village Chief Yang, let me formally introduce myself. I am Feng Lingyu from the Feng family."
Yang Jianguo's heart was beating like thunder. She admitted it! She was really a descendant of the Feng family!
"You, your parents..." Yang Jianguo asked in a trembling voice.
Feng Lingyu suppressed the smile on his face and said, "They sacrificed themselves."
Yang Jianguo felt sad. Old Man Yang and the others guessed right. If Feng Lingyu hadn't happened, he wouldn't have come to the countryside.
"Don't worry, kid. As long as you stay in Qingshan Village, we will do our best to protect you. You have to be well..."
Feng Lingyu could still see through the hypocrisy, and Yang Jianguo was really sad.
Thinking of this, Feng Lingyu sighed. Dad really tried his best to make her live a good life. No wonder he wanted her to go to Qingshan Village to work in the countryside...
