"All the lights in Ah Chen's house are on!"
"Two chieftains, come out quickly, all the lights in Achen's house are on."
Outside, the Miao people were shouting.
Upon hearing this, the two chieftains were initially taken aback.
Then, he hurriedly got up and walked outside.
Across the street, Ah Chen's imposing stilted house...
In the past, although there were lights on at night, there were only one or two rooms.
But ever since Ah Chen left, it's just his mother-in-law and the other aunties checking on things at home from time to time.
Clean it up when it gets dusty.
Alternatively, open the doors and windows for ventilation when the weather is nice, otherwise there will be a musty smell.
Even if Duoduo only has three or four days off each month, or even four or five days when she comes back, she won't turn on all the lights.
But tonight, all the lights in Ah Chen's house were on.
At that moment, several hundred uncles, aunts, Miao men, and women rushed over.
Chief Tang and Chief Mu were even more anxious.
Because their first reaction was that Ah Chen had returned.
But why is there no news at all about Ah Chen's return?
When they arrived at Ah Chen's doorstep--
Chief Tang and Chief Mu saw a figure in the main room.
"Ah Chen, Ah Chen, is that you back?"
"Mu Achen, --"
Duoduo ran out from inside, "Grandpa—"
"Duo, is it time for our monthly break again?"
"Yes, this time it's been left for a few more days, patriarch."
Duoduo looked at the many people outside and went to the courtyard to ask, "What happened, Uncle Tang?"
The patriarch looked around the house and, seeing no one else, felt a sense of emptiness.
It's not that brat Mu Achen who's coming back.
At this moment, the two clan elders were extremely depressed.
The clan elder asked, "Duoduo, why did you turn on all the lights? That's a waste of electricity!"
"My brother said on the phone that electrical appliances should be kept powered on frequently, otherwise they will easily break down over time."
"oh."
Why! ! !
The two chieftains were heartbroken!
Feeling down, I went to the other side.
Duo Duo stared at the two chieftains, bewildered. She was about to tell them that A-Chen had returned—
She called out twice, but the two chieftains, who were in low spirits, seemed not to hear her and went towards the building in that direction.
At this moment, Achen is in the orchard.
He came in without even going home.
However, facing the heavily guarded orchard, he did not enter through the main gate.
Instead, it was from the back door of his house.
Because his back door is the only other entrance besides the main gate.
Although the issue that occurred two months ago has been resolved, Ah Chen needs to check whether there are any follow-up problems.
After all, the loss of over a hundred thousand sacred fruits means three to four million dollars are gone.
No wonder the two chieftains fainted.
…
Twenty minutes later--
Once he was sure everything was alright, Ah Chen finally felt relieved.
Then go home and go to the other side.
In the darkness--
Because of the dim lighting, the aunties and uncles at the door couldn't see Ah Chen's appearance clearly.
Even though he wasn't wearing Miao clothing, he came out with Duoduo, and besides, they were going to the other side of the river.
The aunties assumed they had come to Duoduo's house so that Duoduo could take them to find the chief of the village, Han Jialang, so they didn't pay much attention.
So, when Ah Chen arrived at the stilted house across the street—
When he entered through the side door, because there were many people inside and he was deliberately turning his back, no one saw him yet.
Duoduo gently tugged at Achen, signaling him to look closely; the two chieftains' eyes were red.
Inside the house--
There was a stove in the middle, surrounded by twenty or thirty people.
But they are all core Miao people.
Besides Uncle Adong and Uncle Agan from Heiwu Village --
Uncle Rong and his family from Que Dong Village
There were also aunties and younger sisters, all familiar faces to Ah Chen.
At this moment, the two chieftains sat in the middle, drinking rice wine and chatting:
"Does that brat Mu Achen not want to come back?"
"What's so great about outside? I heard you even have to pay to use the toilet."
"Nowhere is better than a Miao village--"
Every word that old Miao uttered was a complaint against Achen.
But as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Even Chief Tang's eyes were red.
None of the uncles, brothers, or aunties in the house missed Ah Chen.
Ah Chen remained standing behind a burly prince.
It was also because this prince was so burly that he was conveniently blocked.
"I just contacted Amo a few days ago. I know Achen is very busy, but I don't know what he's busy with or when he'll be done."
Chief Tang's voice was also somewhat hoarse.
He added, "That young Miao man is not only the spiritual pillar of the orchard, but also the backbone of our Miao region in eastern Guizhou."
"Even if we lose the orchard, we can't lose Achen."
"I heard from Tang Abao that Achen went to Xiangxi half a year ago, and things are really going well there now."
"What? Ah Chen went to Xiangxi?"
"Chief Tang, what if Ah Chen gets tricked by Xiangxi and ends up staying there instead of coming back to us?"
"If that's the case, I'll take men to western Hunan and snatch it back if I have to."
"What are you all arguing about? Mu Achen is a scoundrel, why are you trying to steal him?"
thing?
Am I not a thing?
cough cough--
The Miao men chattered amongst themselves, and the clan elder's last words made Ah Chen choke.
It was at this moment that he saw potatoes roasting in the firewood.
So, taking advantage of a moment when everyone's attention was diverted, I bent over and walked over, squatting directly beside the firewood.
