The Winter Storage Festival that the village chief mentioned earlier is coming soon.
Early that morning, Lin Luo took Yun Shu and Grandma Yao to the neighboring village, Dongfeng Village.
Although they are neighboring villages, Dongfeng Village is not close to Zhoujiawu. It takes half an hour to drive there. Moreover, Zhoujiawu is much larger and more prosperous.
Because it is close to the town and has developed farmhouses, it is like a new rural model village.
Lin Luo set out at seven in the morning and thought he was early, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated the time it takes for the elderly to get up early.
The noisy hawking and chatting, and the slightly crowded crowd, made Lin Luo, who was accustomed to the quiet Zhoujiawu, suddenly feel like he had arrived in another dimension.
As soon as she got off the car, Grandma Yao saw her little sister. She had no plan to go shopping with Lin Luo and the other two young people, but just agreed on a time to go back, so soon the two of them were left looking at each other.
Lin Luo: "...Let's go eat something first."
She thought of the breakfast she had when she went to town a few months ago. The two buns with thin skin and plenty of meat left Lin Luo with fond memories. However, there were too many stalls selling breakfast today, and she felt a little unwilling to eat buns again.
At this time, Lin Luo was a little envious of Yun Shu's appetite. If he wanted to eat, he could probably try a little of each.
Lin Luo chose a multi-grain pancake stall for her first breakfast. She cleverly asked the stall owner to cut the prepared pancakes into pieces, gave the larger one to Yun Shu, and took the smaller one for herself.
This way you can eat more other snacks.
The freshly baked pancakes were crispy and crumbs fell off with just a light bite. Fortunately, Lin Luo was well prepared and managed to save his image.
On the other hand, Yun Shu was really like a child, with fallen clothes all over her hands and sauce residue at the corners of her mouth.
Lin Luo looked at Yun Shu, whose eyes widened slightly because she was caught off guard, and a smile immediately appeared between his brows. Fortunately, she quickly took out a tissue and said, "Wipe it. This is very crispy. Be careful when eating it."
Yun Shu didn't know what she was thinking, she actually stretched her face to Lin Luo's hand, "I can't see, Luo Luo, help me wipe it."
Lin Luo didn't think much about it and wiped the sauce off the corner of Yun Shu's lips with a tissue. "Okay."
He didn't look uncomfortable at all, and acted calmly as if he was just wiping a child.
——It’s different from what’s shown on TV.
Yun Shu mentally crossed out the popular TV series, and quickly finished the pancake in his hand in a few bites as if nothing had happened.
This time he was not as embarrassed as before, but if you asked Yunshu what the cake tasted like, he would definitely not be able to tell you.
The pancakes alone were a bit dry, so Lin Luo bought two cups of soy milk. She drank the salty one and Yun Shu drank the sweet one.
After spending some time together, Lin Luo also discovered that Yun Shu was a sweet lover. Although he was not picky about food and would eat everything, he preferred sweet rice dumplings, sweet tofu pudding and sweet soy milk.
——It’s really the complete opposite of me.
Lin Luo's thought flashed through his mind, and his eyes were quickly drawn to a small stall selling dried sweet potatoes.
"Girl, these are all grown and dried by us at home. They are so sweet. Try some!"
As soon as the old man saw Lin Luo's gaze, he immediately called her over warmly and stuffed a piece of dried sweet potato into Lin Luo's hand.
Lin Luo didn't hesitate and took a bite.
It is sweet and chewy, and has that unique sweet potato fragrance. Although it is not as bright red as those sold outside, you can tell that it is indeed homemade without any weird things added.
"Yunshu, would you like to try it?"
Lin Luo was just about to break off some of the unbitten half when suddenly a head came over.
Ah! A mouthful!
Lin Luo subconsciously let go.
Someone snatched up the whole piece of dried sweet potato. After chewing it twice, Yun Shu commented, "It's not bad. Luoluo, would you like to buy some?"
Lin Luo: “…”
Something seemed wrong, but looking at Yun Shu's clear eyes, she felt that she was the one who saw filth.
Turning to look at the old man, Lin Luo said, "Please, give me ten kilograms."
Her generosity made the old man smile, but he still kindly reminded him, "Girl, I don't add any preservatives to this. If you can't finish it, remember to put it in the refrigerator."
Lin Luo nodded and paid, and Yun Shu naturally took the ten kilograms of dried sweet potatoes. For him, this weight was nothing.
Next, Lin Luo experienced the joy of spending money on shopping, a feeling that cannot be enjoyed when shopping online.
Goose eggs, white rice cakes, fried meatballs...
Many snacks that Lin Luo had eaten as a child appeared one by one, evoking memories and stimulating shopping desire.
After their hands were full of things, they went back to put them in the car and continued shopping. When they were hungry, they bought food. They bought whatever they liked. Their generosity caught the attention of several villagers who knew Lin Luo.
This caused some minor "trouble".
Of course, Lin Luo didn't care now. She and Yun Shu each held a string of candied haws in their hands and watched the troupe on the stage.
Babbling, you come and I go.
Ten minutes later, Lin Luo expressed regretfully that he had no artistic talent for this and could not see anything at all.
Turning around to look at Yun Shu, his eyes had already been to the barbecue stall on the other side.
Lin Luo: "...Let's go eat barbecue!"
Thus, this barbecue stall welcomed its largest customer of the day, and the busy proprietress's smile became even wider.
When she met Grandma Yao at three o'clock in the afternoon, she was shocked by the full amount of things in Lin Luo's car.
For Grandma Yao, this kind of market only takes place a few times a year, and it would be boring to attend too many times, so she just bought some necessities for the sake of symbolic fun. She didn't expect Lin Luo to buy so much.
For the rest of the journey, Lin Luo nodded in response to Grandma Yao's subtle reminder to save money.
There's no other way. I can't say that the money will be useless in a few months, so I have to spend it now, right?
Anyway, Lin Luo has already included Grandma Yao in his protection, so he will naturally not ignore her when the time comes.
The matter between the village chief and the three women finally came to a conclusion. The four families paid a master to perform a ritual.
He knelt in front of the ancestral hall for two hours to reflect on his mistakes and pray for forgiveness from his ancestors.
The village chief was also "removed" from his position by several old tribesmen who suddenly became tough, and he can only wait for re-election next year.
However, even so, the other villagers did not stop discussing the four people in private. If it were not for the fact that the village chief still had some prestige, who knows whether he would be spat on.
Anyway, the most authoritative and oldest elders in the village now have a bad face when they see them, as if they are looking at criminals.
He kept muttering that people like them would have been expelled from the clan in the past!
I believe that whenever something bad happens in the village next time, the villagers’ first reaction will be to think of these four people.
——It must be that they offended their ancestors, which is why I am in trouble.
There was no speculation about any causal relationship, but it brought endless trouble to the four people.
The three women couldn't stand it anymore and hid in their children's homes. They probably wouldn't dare to show up in Zhoujiawu in the short term, let alone have the mood to sit at the entrance of the village, eating melon seeds and chatting about gossip.
Only the village chief felt something was wrong.
He hasn't done much lately, except...
But Lin Luo and his family are not from Zhoujiawu. It doesn’t make sense that the Zhou family’s ancestor would bless outsiders but not himself?
The village chief, who couldn't understand what was happening, stubbornly blamed Lin Luo for the disaster. Feeling frustrated and having no place to vent his anger, he decided to find something to do to Lin Luo.
However, before the village chief could take action, something happened to Lin Luo's family.
Her lavish spending at the market attracted the attention of a scoundrel, especially since Lin Luo was beautiful and young, at the age of a flower.
He gathered three brothers, who were also the kind of hooligans who were idle and thieves.
These guys found out that Lin Luo's house was at the innermost part of the village and only two people lived there.
Both my parents are gone, and I don’t have any elders to look after me.
If something really happens... hehehe.
As a little girl, what else can I do? Do you really dare to stand up for yourself?
Anyway, they will definitely not suffer any loss!
As for that cousin, although he looks big, there are quite a few of them, and who knows if he is just an embroidered pillow, all show and no use.
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became.
At twelve o'clock on the second night after the market ends.
The entire Zhoujiawu was shrouded in darkness. Everyone was asleep and no one took the occasional barking of dogs seriously.
After all, Zhoujiawu is notoriously remote and poor. Who would come here to steal things?
At this point, Lin Luo naturally fell asleep.
But her vigilance did not relax despite this period of comfort.
The four people's movements were not light, because of the high wall built by Linluo, it was not easy for them to get in.
Lin Luo's eyes suddenly opened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stood up and put on a coat.
There's no need to guess who comes in at this time.
But before she could take any action.
Bang——
Awoo——
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
The sound of the little wolf cub biting people, the sound of Yun Shu knocking people to the ground with one punch, and the sound of those people screaming in pain.
Soon, the quiet Zhoujiawu became lively again.
