Village chief Liu came again later and asked if we wanted to move to the village.
There is a good location with north-south ventilation, right in the center of the village.
Yu Xifeng refused, she felt that the current position was just right.
Through the transactions, the two parties gradually established a foundation of trust, and no one stopped Yu Xifeng from strolling around the village anymore.
The villagers were very interested in her and often talked to Yu Xifeng.
Also ask about the situation outside.
Yu Xifeng is not good at telling stories, his stories are always dry.
The conversation died down in just a few words.
On the contrary, Zhang Qiu, with his stunning appearance and eloquence, was warmly welcomed.
After listening to Zhang Qiu's itinerary,
From the old lady to the little girl, everyone looked at Zhang Qiu with loving eyes.
On the other side, Yu Xifeng was exploring the way to Dingyuepo when he was stopped by an old lady on the way.
The old lady stuffed a corn steamed bun into Yu Xifeng's hand and said, "Just stay in our village. You just came here and you don't have any elders to look after you. If anyone dares to bully you, just come to me and I'll take you to see the village chief."
Yu Xifeng was silent for a moment, holding the dry steamed bun in his hand, Yu Xifeng looked down.
She didn't say anything, and of course she wouldn't agree.
The old lady sat on a bamboo mat, muttering that her son had gone out to work and she wondered if he had enough to eat outside.
Is she sick? Her daughter-in-law is a spoiled brat and her son is a stubborn one. I don’t know if they get along well. Does she have any grandchildren?
The weather is too bad now. There is no harvest in the fields, but at least I can earn some income by working outside.
It’s better to live in the city. It’s definitely more developed and advanced.
All of them are still alive and well with the village chief, so her children will definitely be able to survive in the city.
The old lady said it over and over again.
After hearing it so many times, I probably started to believe it and started to laugh, revealing my dry gums which were already lacking many teeth.
Yu Xifeng sat on the steps and just listened to what the old lady said.
I probably understood that the old lady was old and no one had ever told her about the situation outside. In order to appease the old lady, I probably told her some white lies.
The old lady took out a handful of candies wrapped in colored paper from under the bed.
"This is for you to eat. You hide it. I won't give it to anyone else."
The sugar had been stored for a long time, it melted and then solidified again, so it felt a little sticky when I held it in my hands.
Yu Xifeng only took one: "Grandma, you keep it for yourself."
"I have no teeth, I can't eat it." The old lady stuffed the food into Yu Xifeng's hand, "You eat it, you eat it."
Yu Xifeng walked out holding this handful of strange candy.
When she returned to the RV, she saw Zhang Qiu sitting on the sofa. There was really everything on the table and the sofa.
Tea leaves, mushrooms, dried vegetables, pickles, Yu Xifeng rummaged through the pile of things and popped a peanut into his mouth.
It’s fried and tastes delicious.
Yu Xifeng then asked, "Are you going out to perform arts or sell your body?"
Zhang Qiu glared at her and smiled bitterly: "The ladies forced it on us, saying that we were too thin and needed to be nourished."
Yu Xifeng grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the bottom and slowly twisted them in his hand.
Hearing this, she took out the candy from her trouser pocket and said, "An old lady at the east end gave it to me. Her son was working outside, and the old lady saved up some money and waited for him to come back, so she had to give it to me."
Zhang Qiu's eyes became complicated: "It's Mrs. Lu, right?"
Yu Xifeng nodded: "It seems to be called this name."
Zhang Qiu pointed to his head and said, "Madam, there is something wrong here. Aunt Zhou who picked herbs told me.
When there was a heavy rain, Mrs. Lu's son followed the villagers out to rescue food and was washed away by the water. Since then, she has always claimed that her son went far away to work.
She said that it was a good time. If she went crazy, she would hug two red bricks and treat them as her own sons.
Aunt Zhou came over to ask me if there was any prescription that could help old lady Lu recover. At her age, it’s not easy for her to take medicine. I plan to go check on her in a couple of days.”
Aunt Zhou is the midwife in this village and her craft is inherited from her family.
The profession of midwife had originally been eliminated by the county clinic, but has now been picked up again.
Aunt Zhou and Zhang Qiu met twice while picking herbs, and Aunt Zhou came to see Zhang Qiu most frequently.
Zhang Qiu sorted through the pile of things: "In two days, it will be Mid-Autumn Festival."
Yu Xifeng was stunned for a moment: "Mid-Autumn Festival?"
The sunlight outside the window gradually fades, and occasionally a faint outline of the moon can be seen.
But to call it moonlight is a bit of a stretch.
Where does the night come from during the polar day?
Zhang Qiu said, "I learned how to make mooncakes from Aunt Zhou. I'll go to her house and make a few for you to try. I'll borrow her big boiler."
Yu Xifeng said, "I've been to Dingyue Slope. There are many traps and guards there. I want to find a chance to go to the other side and see what the volcano is, or the Fire Wind Society."
"Fire Wind Society." Zhang Qiu said, "Then you should be careful and pay attention to safety."
Yu Xifeng thought for a moment and said, "It's not that urgent. Let's wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over."
Zhang Qiu agreed: "I have seen roosters in the village. Should we let the hens build a nest?"
Yu Xifeng asked: "Do you think one chicken is not enough?"
"I can raise one chicken, or two. There are two cartons of milk in the car, and I have saved the eggs. I learned how to make egg cake from Aunt Zhou, which can be made in an air fryer."
“I see…” Yu Xifeng nodded.
There is no need for breeding, there is plenty of space.
Moreover, the chickens outside, whether in terms of egg laying or meat quality, are definitely not as good as Yu Xifeng's space bonus and the quality of Dabai Daixun.
The consciousness swept across dozens of boxes of eggs in the space, as well as several large boxes of goose eggs nearby.
This number is still increasing every day.
How could she take these eggs out with a clear conscience?
Yu Xifeng felt a little worried.
Egg cake, sounds delicious.
Besides, these chickens are jumping around in the space, and Yu Xifeng has been wanting to eat stewed chicken and braised chicken for a long time.
Yu Xifeng made up his mind and went out for a walk the next day. When he came back, he had a big sack in his hand.
Dragged onto the RV were two chickens, one alive and one dead.
Before coming back, Yu Xifeng let Canghui take a bite of the dead one.
The chicken neck was given directly to Cang Hui to eat.
"Oh my God!" Zhang Qiu came back from Aunt Zhou, "Did you rob the villagers?"
Yu Xifeng had a blank expression on his face: "It was Cang Hui who caused the trouble, I paid compensation."
There was still some chicken blood on Cang Hui's mouth.
Zhang Qiu pointed at Canghui's nose: "You——"
“Ah——”
Cang Hui circled around Zhang Qiu.
Zhang Qiu said, "Get out of here. I haven't seen you for a day and you're looking for trouble with us. If you keep making trouble, we'll stew you and the chicken together. If the chicken is still alive, it can lay a few more eggs."
Yu Xifeng raised his lips and smiled, but quickly suppressed the smile. Together with Zhang Qiu, he glared at Canghui.
“Ah——”
