"Oh my... Is today a good day? What are you all doing here? Why are you all just standing there without saying a word?"
A familiar voice suddenly emerged from behind the crowd.
At first, no one paid much attention to it and were too lazy to respond to this question.
But a few people who were nearby soon realized something was wrong and turned around hurriedly.
Then, Zhao Wei was seen holding Xiaohua in his arms. As for Grandma Wang and his two apprentices following behind him, they were completely ignored.
"Oh my God, am I dazzled? Am I seeing a ghost in broad daylight? And there are two of them...?"
"President, Hua'er, you guys are back! It's not even the seventh day yet..."
As soon as these villagers spoke, Grandma Wang immediately stepped forward and slapped the villagers on the shoulders one by one with her hand.
"Who are you cursing here, you rude people?"
"This is our President Zhao. My daughter is alive and well. Stop talking nonsense!"
…
When Grandma Wang hit people, she used a little force, for fear that she would not be able to wake up these stupid villagers.
The sudden change here quickly shocked the crowd. Many people turned around and looked at Zhao Wei and the others in disbelief.
"This... is this really the president? Hana is still alive? No way!"
"Is it true or false..."
Everyone stepped forward half-believingly, and bravely poked Zhao Wei again and again.
Zhao Wei's body is as hard as a steel plate.
Everyone poked the water and it was going well.
Poking Xiaohua again, the little girl had just been discharged from the hospital. She was very vulnerable and started to cry softly.
Zhao Wei's fatherly love instantly overflowed, and he quickly opened his mouth and scolded: "Get out of my way, what are you doing? Look how scared the child is."
He handed the flower to Grandma Wang in a hurry, then walked up to the stage and waved to the people below.
"You guys have worked hard for me these past few days. I, Zhao Wei, am very grateful to you!"
"As for what happened before, the investigation results have been revealed. It was done by people from the neighboring village. They have now received the retribution they deserve."
"Our village will remain the same as before. When you go back, don't believe in rumors or spread them. Don't spread rumors about this matter privately, so as not to cause trouble."
…
When everyone saw Zhao Wei's lively and energetic appearance, they no longer had the previous depressed and irritable feelings, and they all started to interact with Zhao Wei with some excitement.
"Boss, you're finally back. We're all happy that you escaped this disaster!"
"Don't be so scary again. We've been so scared these past two days that we can't eat or sleep!"
"We will all listen to you from now on. Living a good life is more important than anything else!"
…
Someone suddenly lit firecrackers to celebrate Zhao Wei's return.
The people in the village cheered and the situation was difficult to control.
Although Zhao Wei pretended to be calm.
But I was actually a little touched inside.
He really didn't do much in the past month or two, but everyone loved him so much that the aversion he had in his heart about taking on the position of president had disappeared.
He doesn't ask for much money by leading everyone. These days, a lot of money cannot be spent.
It would be better to do something to feed everyone and help them get through this famine.
If nothing unexpected happens, the situation this year will remain grim.
Although he had not lived in the 1960s, in his previous life, he had heard from his grandfather that the famine lasted for three full years and that the shortage of supplies made life difficult for everyone.
Eating tree bark and grass roots and wearing tattered clothes was still considered good.
Some families fled famine with their entire family and lived by begging for food.
Fortunately, Yushudun is backed by a mountain and has the best geographical advantage. As long as you dare to go up the mountain, you will not starve to death.
Otherwise, no matter how capable Zhao Wei is, he won't be able to create food from a land that can't produce crops!
Thinking of this, he realized that he was not well prepared to deal with the famine.
At present, the villagers have not felt the severity of the drought situation.
The heavy rain in early spring and the rain and snow in winter made them blindly believe that life would get better.
Last year, the villagers were able to get by thanks to the grain stored in previous years and by tightening their belts.
But this year there is no such luck.
The autumn harvest is still a long way off, but the villagers are generally out of food at home.
But fortunately, I can still hold on for the time being by eating wild vegetables and other things.
When spring passed, the wild vegetables became less and less, and there was no drinking water. It was really the end of the road, and people might starve to death.
All he had thought about before was raising honey and growing mushrooms.
Now the mushrooms have grown and can be harvested.
These cannot be eaten and have to be saved for seeds. Hundreds of households in the village will have to plant them, which is quite a project.
So, when everyone had cheered enough, he asked them to gather at the foot of the mountain before dawn the next day, and each family had to provide one laborer.
When everyone heard that they had to go up the mountain to chop firewood, as this was their daily routine, no one asked anything and they just did what they were told.
After dispersing the villagers, Zhao Wei convened a secret meeting in the commune.
Of course, the discussion was about what Wang Hu had been doing these days.
Not only did they want to harm him, these people came to Yushudun with evil intentions.
Wang Hu colluded with people outside and waited for the autumn harvest. He wanted to steal the cotton, oil, grain and other supplies in the village, and then transport them to the black market in other places to sell them and earn a high price.
They have done this kind of thing before in the neighboring village and even tasted the sweetness.
Now, the village has already been hollowed out, and the president in charge has already been transferred to another place. The new president, a man named Lu Yong, has also been taken away by Zhao Wei.
Right now, people in the neighboring villages are living in dire straits.
There was no more money to be made there, so these people turned their attention to Yushudun.
What he didn't expect was that the plan was killed in the cradle by Zhao Wei right after it was implemented.
When the commune officials heard this, they were furious.
These things are collectively owned and must be turned over to the state.
If it was really stolen by these rats, their village would probably have to suffer five years of famine before they could settle the account.
Thinking about the hard days, everyone couldn't help but feel angry and wished they could tear Wang Hu to pieces hundreds of times.
"Now, they have suffered retribution. Everyone should keep this matter to themselves and not spread it around the village."
"In addition to this crime of speculation, there may be other murders involved. Everyone, please keep your mouth shut!"
Everyone expressed their stance that they would never discuss this matter again.
