Tan Dingguo didn't expect Wang Guihua to come up to him and tell him about this, even though he already knew about it.
It's not that the village doesn't have timber, but generally speaking, they'll make us wait. After all, if they approve it as soon as they get a note from the bottom, wouldn't they be able to take advantage of us later?
Therefore, everyone is holding off for now and will talk about it later.
However, he's in a good mood today.
Tan Dingguo glanced at Ning Jing; he remembered that Fu Hongxing had also submitted a note requesting timber.
If the timber were given to Fu Hongxing and Zhao Dazhu, the village's stock would be almost depleted.
However, every year the village organizes people to go into the mountains to find a few straight trees, cut them down, and store them away just in case.
However, since the approval was granted to Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing's family separately, it wouldn't be right not to approve it for Zhao Dazhu's family.
Tan Dingguo thought for a moment, then said to Wang Guihua, "Have Dazhu go to my office tomorrow to get the approval slip, and also get the one from Hongxing's family."
Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly responded with a "Yes!"
Ning Jing was surprised that her own application was also approved.
However, when she thought of what Fu Hongxing had said in her ear earlier, her face flushed red.
In order to avoid Wang Guihua and Tan Dingguo noticing anything amiss, he quickly nodded in agreement.
After Tan Dingguo finished speaking, he went to the brigade headquarters with his hands behind his back.
Wang Guihua was so excited about getting the approval slip that she didn't even notice Ning Jing's face.
Tan Qingzhou pushed the cart for dozens of miles before finally reaching the outskirts of his maternal relatives' village.
It was already noon, and by all accounts, every household should have started cooking.
However, when he looked up, not a single chimney in the village was smoking.
When he reached the village entrance, there wasn't a single person or even a dog to be seen among the families who lived there.
Upon seeing this, Tan Qingzhou felt a chill run down his spine.
Could it be that everyone in this village has starved to death?
He swallowed hard, pushing the cart toward his maternal grandparents' house.
He didn't see a single person along the way.
This discovery completely shocked Tan Qingzhou.
He unconsciously quickened his pace, and when he quickly pushed the bike to his maternal grandparents' house, he put down the handlebars and started banging on the door.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Logically, if he knocked so hard, anyone at home should have been able to hear it.
Tan Qingzhou knocked again and again, but no one came out to open the door.
Tan Qingzhou immediately became anxious and shouted, "Grandpa, are you inside?"
The force in his hands couldn't help but increase.
"What are you doing? Trying to break my door?"
Just as she finished eating, Guo Cuifen, on her way home, saw someone banging loudly on her door and immediately shouted.
Tan Qingzhou was startled when he heard the voice.
I turned around abruptly and saw my aunt standing there with a displeased look on her face.
Immediately disregarding Guo Cuifen's unpleasant tone, he stepped forward and looked his aunt up and down.
"Auntie, where's my grandfather? And where's my uncle? Where did they all go?"
Despite seeing Guo Cuifen's appearance, Tan Qingzhou couldn't help but ask.
After all, apart from his aunt, how could the others be nowhere to be seen?
Guo Cuifen was startled by Tan Qingzhou's approaching figure, thinking that she had spoken rudely and that he was coming to settle scores with her.
Once the person had steadied themselves and looked them over, they breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a stern face, they said unhappily, "What? Did your parents just stand by and watch you die? Did you come here today to laugh at us?"
