*Pfft*
Thinking about the portrait that would be drawn later, Amo couldn't help but laugh.
Because she had seen Ah Chen's depressed and frustrated look; wasn't he like this before the New Year when the phone line was moved?
"Amo, stop laughing. Move the small box to the room with the TV. I'll check that no parts are missing and then I'll have to find time to install it."
"Oh, right, take two loudspeakers upstairs. We'll install one facing Black Crow Village and the other facing Sparrow East Village. That will make it much easier for me to call people later."
convenient?
Ah Mo's expression immediately changed!
She remembered a little anecdote from her university days: a couple had left the amplifier and microphone in the broadcasting room running, causing the noise to fill the entire campus.
He was eventually fired.
"Ah Chen, let's install this loudspeaker on the building across the street. We can just use a stereo system at home!"
Better safe than sorry!
What if one day when she and Ah Chen are doing *that*, the amplifier and microphone aren't turned off? And...the whole Miao village could hear it! Wouldn't that be...?
"Alright."
Ah Chen, who was flipping through the list on the ground, obviously didn't think in that direction and naturally didn't notice Ah Mo's worried expression.
Otherwise, if he saw Amo blushing, he might just drag her upstairs and then--
Dinner was ready soon!
My mother-in-law called out once and then left; I couldn't stop her.
Main room.
While eating, Achen asked, "By the way, Amo, have you seen Arui?"
"No!"
"I didn't see it when I got back."
"She probably went out. She has close female friends, so don't worry too much. She's not a child anymore."
Ah Chen nodded.
Halfway through the meal --
Mo suddenly asked, "Oh right, I forgot to ask you, why didn't you call your classmate? When you came back today, didn't you get a call from Yun Kai? The case is going very smoothly, and Zhang Xiang definitely has no chance of turning things around."
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen shoveled some rice into his mouth and said, "I haven't had time these past few days! Besides—"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm wondering if I should make this call! After all, so much time has passed. What if She Ling's wound has already healed? If I make this call, wouldn't I be tearing open her scars and making her suffer again?"
"It's hard to say, but if you don't want to fight, then don't fight. Just reply to Yun Kai and let them contact each other themselves."
Forehead--
That's not a bad idea!
But... never mind, I'll just type it myself.
No matter what, we'll always be classmates and friends from our youth.
Just as Ah Chen had this thought, footsteps approached from afar, and a few seconds later—
The two village chiefs of Quedong Village and Heiwu Village, along with their uncles, have arrived.
"Mu Achen, you've finally decided to come back? We thought you'd been living deep in the mountains for ages."
"What, you still remember you're a Miao man from Black Crow Village!"
As soon as the clan elder entered, he immediately started berating Mu Achen. If it weren't for the presence of the Holy Maiden Amo, this old man would have continued to berate Mu Achen for another half hour.
cough cough--
Ah Chen, who was drinking soup, choked on his words when his patriarch said that.
Uncle Rong stepped forward and looked at Ah Chen's sling. "How did you get hurt again?"
"It's nothing serious! Please sit down."
Ah Chen gestured for them to pour their own drinks and get their own cigarettes.
Grandpa Tang wanted to scold the spendthrift son, but seeing Ah Chen's appearance, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Uncle Rong, Uncle Gan, Uncle Dong, and the others, along with A Zhuang and the others who came in later, all missed the old days when they saw A Chen.
But since the Starry Sky Fruit Forest started planting, Ah Chen has rarely been here.
The uncles and brothers also knew that this was just the beginning, and that the Miao region would gradually expand from poverty to wealth—
As time goes on, Ah Chen will probably come here less and less.
Previously, Ah Chen mostly stayed in the orchard next door.
But now, the Starry Fruit Forest has doubled in size, and Ah Chen is so busy that he can only come at the most crucial moments.
Furthermore, both the uncles and brothers knew that Achen had never asked about the money earned at Xingchen Fruit Forest; it was all settled by Shengtang and their side.
So Uncle Gan and Uncle Rong wondered if Ah Chen knew how much money he had or how wealthy he was.
"Two chieftains, why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Has something happened?" Achen asked.
Before the uncles could report, the clan elder rebuked Ah Chen again, "Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong? Think about it yourself, think about it, how long has it been since you inquired about the orchard?"
"Mu Achen, are you still a Miao man from Black Crow Village? Do you know what happened?"
Forehead--
Cough cough!
Mu Achen was once again speechless after his patriarch's words!
I was thinking, "If you don't know, you can say so. Why do you always take it out on me?"
Amo, who was standing nearby, glanced at the clan elder, and it was this glance that extinguished his anger.
The uncles and brothers all raised their voices, and Uncle Gan and Uncle Zhuang even quietly tugged at the clan elder, signaling the old Miao man to be careful and not to yell at Ah Chen all the time.
Otherwise, if the Holy Maiden gets angry, no one can protect him.
Grandpa Tang quickly spoke up, "Achen, something happened while you were gone!"
Why!
These two signs must have been pre-arranged, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
Ah Chen's gaze lingered on the two chieftains, remaining silent and waiting for them to continue.
But when the clan lord saw that Achen was not in a hurry to ask, the loose muscles on his face twitched in waves, and he thought to himself: Holy Maiden, go to the orchard and pick some fruit to taste. Come back after I've finished yelling at Mu Achen.
