They thought what Village Chief Zhou said about not being far away really was not far away.
As a result, after climbing over two slopes and walking through several twists and turns, we finally arrived at Zhoujia Village surrounded by mountains.
After discussion among the four, Niu Aixiang and Zhao Heping lived in the educated youth site, Jiang Nian temporarily lived in the village chief's house and lived with his granddaughter, and Li Rui stayed with other families in the village.
After arranging their accommodation, Jiang Nian followed the village chief back.
The village chief's house is also made of adobe. The wall is not very high, and tall people can see inside from the outside by standing on tiptoe. But compared with other houses that don't even have a fence, it is considered extremely good.
As they walked in, the chickens and ducks that were pecking at food inside the door frightenedly flapped their wings and scattered, leaving only a few flying chicken feathers.
The dust that was flying around made Village Chief Zhou furious. He stamped his feet and shooed it aside, shouting, "Get out of the way!"
After the dust settled on the ground, Jiang Nian went in carrying the sack.
At this time, the people in the village chief's family had heard the noise and all came out.
In addition to the village chief and his wife, there was also a woman with a bitter face. She was the village chief’s eldest daughter-in-law, Shi Liu.
She was holding one in her arms, with two following at her feet. In the blink of an eye, two more came running back from outside. They were all boys, with bare backs, wearing only a pair of shorts with an open crotch.
The three little ones were understandable, but the two that came back from outside looked to be about six or seven years old. The little calf underneath was sticking up its head and swaying as it walked, which made Jiang Nian, who was used to seeing a lot of storms, dumbfounded.
So... unrestrained?
"Girl, you can live in that room. I only have one granddaughter, and she happens to live alone. You two can keep her company." Village Chief Zhou pointed and shouted, "Where's Hua'er? Come out quickly to help get the things."
"My sister went up the mountain to pick thorns and hasn't come back yet." The oldest boy answered. His two big front teeth had fallen out and he leaked when he spoke.
"Why are you still standing there? Go help get the things." Village Chief Zhou is the one who has the final say in the family. You can tell from the tone of his voice. When he turned around and talked to his daughter-in-law, his tone was much better and not so fierce. "How is the boss? Have you had lunch?"
Shi Liu shook her head sadly, and cried as she spoke, "No, he refused to eat. He wanted to die, saying that he would not bring trouble to us."
The wrinkles on Village Chief Zhou's face became deeper, filled with helplessness and hardship towards life.
Jiang Nian had already moved all the things into the house. He took out a piece of fruit candy for the child who didn't help much, and then asked him some questions.
From him, I learned that he was the eldest grandson of the village chief. He had an older sister and four younger brothers. His sister was named Zhou Xiaohua, he was named Zhou Dawang, and his younger brothers were Erwang to Xiaowang.
If his mother gave birth to another younger brother, Xiaowang would have to become Wuwang, and the new younger brother would become the new Xiaowang.
This name is really chosen casually.
And don't be fooled by his small size, he is actually eight years old.
The village chief has two sons. His father, the eldest son, was pierced in the thigh by a wild boar's tusks some time ago. Although his life was saved, he was paralyzed in bed and had no feeling in his entire leg.
His uncle and aunt had been wanting to divide the family property since his father became paralyzed in bed, and they just separated not long ago. That's why the village chief's house is so spacious to live in.
After Jiang Nian asked all the questions she wanted to ask, she felt that this was an opportunity given to her by God.
She looked at the candy Da Wang was holding tightly in his hand and said, "This candy doesn't last long. You'd better eat it quickly. If it melts, it won't taste good anymore."
Da Wang scratched his head and smiled shyly, "I want to give it to my father. He has been in a bad mood recently and always loses his temper. I want to give him some candy, maybe he will feel better."
