Chapter 6 This clod of earth smells so good



The village chief's conditions were very strict. If Fan Xiaofan wanted to settle in Xiangyang Brigade, she would have to work like the other villagers, but she wouldn't be given any grain.

As the village head, he had to prioritize the interests of the villagers, so he had no choice but to put these conditions out in the open.

He will then share some of his own family's produce with the child, so that no one can starve to death.

This is his family's private grain, so it doesn't harm the interests of the villagers.

His family has a lot of able-bodied workers, so they can always store more grain.

The village chief thought to himself.

However, if Fan Xiaofan feels that the conditions are too harsh and chooses to leave, the village chief will not stop him; he can only do his best.

To everyone's surprise, Fan Xiaofan asked with a look of delight, "Really? Is that possible?"

Even if she doesn't share food with herself, Fan Xiaofan has a place to stay and won't starve thanks to her portable Taobao system. Her main concern now is resolving her household registration issue.

She had initially thought that Li Dafu might not be willing to keep her, as she could see the xenophobia in the village.

Li Dafu was taken aback by Fan Xiaofan's surprise and couldn't help but repeat, "You have to go to work, but we won't be giving you any food..."

Fan Xiaofan bowed and thanked him. It was already a great thing that he could solve her household registration problem.

Li Dafu suddenly thought that this little girl was really silly. Luckily, she came to their village. If she had gone to other places, she might have been sold out and even helped the seller count the money.

He had seven or eight sons in a row, but no daughters. Li Dafu suddenly felt a bit more like a loving father when he looked at this seemingly naive and soft little girl.

Fan Xiaofan was able to settle down in Xiangyang Brigade without any problems. She didn't receive any grain rations, and no one else had any objections.

The village chief had a thatched hut that he didn't live in, which became Fan Xiaofan's temporary lodging. After thinking for a moment, Fan Xiaofan took out a compressed biscuit from his pocket and handed it to the village chief as a way of thanking him.

Li Dafu had never seen this thing before, and he was even more clueless than a middle-aged woman in a small county town. He stared blankly and said, "What is this thing? It smells strangely fragrant."

Now that Fan Xiaofan had a place to stay, she wasn't as tense as before and said with a smile, "Take a bite."

Li Dafu took a bite with his teeth, and the sweet, milky flavor immediately filled his taste buds.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my!" He had thought it was some kind of clod of dirt, but it turned out to be something to eat.

"How can you give me such precious things? You won't have any food to share in the future, and this food will be very valuable..."

He sighed again: "Don't blame me, these days are tough, a bite to eat can be deadly."

Li Dafu hurriedly returned the compressed biscuits to Fan Xiaofan. Fan Xiaofan sighed, realizing that she was going to give them away anyway, and now that someone had taken a bite out of them, she was not going to take them back.

She waved her hand and said, "I have something I need your help with. If you don't accept this, I can't say what will happen."

At this moment, Li Dafu still tasted the sweetness of milk in his mouth. He had never eaten anything so delicious in his life. He had drunk a few mouthfuls of milk before, but it tasted fishy and was unpleasant. It was nothing compared to this.

"I would like to trouble you to find someone to help me renovate this house."

“This is nothing. I would have gotten it for you even if you hadn’t asked. My sons could have done it in a day. We don’t need such nice things.”

He still refused to accept it.

Fan Xiaofan's face immediately darkened: "Village Chief, if you don't accept it, I dare not ask you for help."

The village chief had no choice but to take the compressed biscuits back to fetch people, as if they were holding a gold nugget.
