After hearing this, Ouyang Yuqing did not mention the village's population issue again. He went directly to the village with Ge Peng to find the village chief.
At this moment, the old village chief of Gejia Village was puffing out smoke in his own yard, his pipe dangling from his mouth.
Some of the sons were tending the vegetable garden in the yard, while others were weaving bamboo baskets.
The old village chief's wives and daughters-in-law were either cooking in the kitchen or doing handicrafts in the yard.
The grandchildren would catch insects in the family's vegetable garden to feed the poultry.
Ge Peng led Ouyang Yuqing to the gate of the old village chief's courtyard, where he looked at the gate twice.
He then called out into the courtyard, "Is the old village chief home?"
The old village chief was enjoying his cigarette when he heard someone calling him from outside the courtyard.
Upon hearing someone call out, he muttered under his breath: "There's never a moment of peace."
However, despite his grumbling, the old village chief called out to his eldest grandson, "Shuanzi, go open the door and see who's shouting outside."
Shuanzi caught a green worm and was about to feed it to the chickens at home.
Then he heard his grandfather calling him to open the door.
He quickly gave the caterpillar to his younger brother beside him.
He then said to the old village chief, "Understood, Grandpa, I'll go open the door now."
Shuanzi skipped and hopped to open the courtyard gate.
When he opened the door, he saw Ge Peng and a stranger. He greeted Ge Peng and said, "Uncle Da Peng, what do you want with my grandfather?"
When Ge Peng heard Shuanzi ask him that question, he replied to Shuanzi, "What are you asking, you little brat? Is your grandpa home?"
When Shuanzi heard Ge Peng say that he was a boy, he said unhappily, "Uncle Da Peng, I'm ten years old this year, I'm not little anymore!"
Can you please stop calling me "little brat" every time you see me?
Ge Peng didn't have time to joke with Shuanzi right now. He replied perfunctorily, "We'll talk about next time later."
Uncle Dapeng is asking you a question: Is your grandfather home?
Shuanzi, seeing that Ge Peng seemed to be in a hurry to find his grandfather, didn't argue with Ge Peng about the 'little kid' issue.
He said to Ge Peng, "My grandpa is smoking at home. Wait a minute, I'll go call him for you."
When Ge Peng heard Shuanzi calling for help, he urged, "Yes, hurry up and call for help. It's urgent to find your grandfather."
oh……
Shuanzi replied with an "Oh," then turned to the old village chief and said, "Grandpa, stop smoking. Uncle Dapeng needs to see you urgently."
When the old village chief heard his grandson call out that Ge Peng had something urgent to tell him, he was puzzled: What urgent thing could this kid have to tell me?
However, the old village chief quickly got up, took his pipe, and walked towards the courtyard gate.
As soon as the old village chief reached the gate of the courtyard, Ge Peng saw him.
Ge Peng raised his voice an octave and said to the old village chief, "Hey village chief, can you hurry up? Someone's waiting for you here."
The old village chief pushed aside his eldest grandson and walked out of the courtyard.
He saw Ouyang Yuqing's puzzled expression and wondered, "Where did this stranger come from?"
Ouyang Yuqing saw the old village chief sizing him up.
He took the initiative to greet the old village chief, saying, "Hello, sir."
The old village chief saw Ouyang Yuqing, who was 1.88 meters tall and very handsome.
He thought to himself: This young man is handsome and talented. I wonder if he has any wives or concubines at home?
If not...
My own Yingzi isn't engaged yet; I wonder if I could try to match them up.
Although the old village chief had many thoughts on his mind, he showed no expression on his face and asked Ouyang Yuqing in a deep voice, "I wonder what brings this young man to our village?"
Upon hearing the old village chief's words, Ge Peng's heart pounded.
He thought to himself: Damn it, this old man is so reckless as to call out to young King Zhan Wang. How dare you shout at people like that?
Fearing that the old village chief might ask something shocking, Ge Peng quickly explained that Ouyang Yuqing had come to stay overnight, especially emphasizing Ouyang Yuqing's identity.
