In other words, Jian Dan has now developed a thick skin, which allows him to walk normally while his head is burning with heat without changing his expression.
Upon getting closer, Wang Guihua grabbed him and gave him another thorough look.
Seeing that all eyes were on them, even though she wasn't socially anxious, Jian Dan felt a little uneasy. She immediately went along with Wang Guihua's movements, letting her sway her.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'm just a little exhausted, but I'm really not injured."
No matter what, they're definitely going to be in the spotlight.
But to be honest, she was only sixteen, and the fact that she killed two wild boars was already shocking.
Between effortless and all-out effort, the latter is more acceptable and easier to evoke empathy.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wang Guihua immediately grabbed her right arm, lifted it, and gently shook it, while Jian Dan also feigned a weak and limp posture.
"Look at you! I told you something was off. You didn't seem to have any energy at all, did you?"
Before she could react, the neighborhood aunties and grandmas had already found out, all talking at once.
"This is only a short time. After a night's sleep, my arms will be sore and achy when I wake up tomorrow morning. This will be even worse than during the autumn harvest!"
"Yes, yes, that's because they pushed too hard. They'll need to rest for a few days."
"This child, tell me, they're just afraid wild boars will come down the mountain and harm everyone. They're really reckless!"
"That's right, they even fed us all the wild boar they hunted."
"Little Jian, the educated youth, is only sixteen or seventeen, right? She's still growing!"
"That's right, that's why I said you should take good care of yourself while you're still young, so you don't end up getting sick!"
......
In no time, Jian Dan was surrounded by layers of people. Wang Guihua hadn't expected so many people to gather around her after she had only said a few words. After hearing what she said, she nodded in agreement.
"Your aunties are right, you really need to take good care of yourself. It's a good thing you don't have to work now, so there's no rush."
You should take a good rest.
"Oh, no,"
Wang Guihua then remembered
"Don't you have another child? Where's your younger sister?"
Although Jian Dan didn't explicitly say she was taking the little girl out for a walk, Hu Zi knew that once the group of children spread the word, almost the entire village knew that Jian Dan's family had a new little sister.
Xiao Jianxin was surrounded by Li Yan and the others, which prevented her from being pushed out. However, seeing the situation, Li Yan regretted her actions.
"I should have listened to the simpler one. We can come back when it's almost done."
Little Jianxin looks well-behaved, but she's still just a child, and Wang Guihua is still a little worried.
"Can you really take good care of both of you?"
Jian Dan was at her wit's end. If she said she was really fine again, wouldn't that seem a bit fake?
"Auntie, don't worry, I've prepared everything for winter, it's fine."
Besides, my arm just suddenly got tired, it'll be fine after a while.
This can't compare to your hard work.
Besides, now that I've settled down in the countryside, I'm part of Liujiatun now. How could I just stand by and watch our home be destroyed?
Several of the more easily moved women immediately had tears in their eyes. Wang Guihua patted them on the shoulder, feeling both lingering fear and relief.
If Xiao Jian hadn't gone, given the villagers' speed and fighting ability, there would have been many casualties in the village, whether it was houses and yards damaged or people injured. It would have been a significant blow to the village.
Those who are family know their own situation. The men in the village are honest and hardworking, and they are excellent at physical labor. However, they are basically useless in other areas, including her son. Otherwise, why would he be so scared at the mere mention of wild boars?
We have to rely on them. Let alone eating meat, even if we can survive with our whole bodies intact, it's all thanks to our ancestors' blessings!
Thinking too much, getting sidetracked, Wang Guihua quickly dismissed the thought with a "pui pui" (a sound of disgust).
“We all know you’re a good person. Ever since you came here, you’ve only wanted to make sure our villagers have enough to eat, and you’ve suffered without saying a word.”
Just as she was thinking that she hadn't suffered, a gust of northwest wind blew by, and her nose tingled. Suddenly, she sneezed and was immediately pulled into Wang Guihua's arms. A coat was then thrown over her, and Wang Guihua's large hand touched her forehead.
Simple,???
Li Yan and the others were also completely bewildered. What had happened?
"Oh dear, look at you, you've definitely caught a chill."
"You must have sweated a lot while climbing the mountain. If the wind blows, you're sure to catch a cold."
"It's supposed to be autumn, but the wind is quite chilly right now!"
The pig slaughtering had already begun over there, and a few people who were eager to watch the spectacle craned their necks, their hearts itching with impatience, but they were too embarrassed to say anything.
Everyone thought that was the end of it after she finished speaking, and Li Yan was already holding Xiao Jianxin's hand, ready to rush out in a moment.
To everyone's surprise, the next second, Wang Guihua simply turned her body around and changed direction.
"Alright, don't wait here in the wind. Go back and heat up the kang (heated brick bed) to warm yourself up. I'll bring it to you when it's ready."
Rural children aren't so pampered; Wang Guihua's words were filtered through countless layers of filters. However, the villagers were deeply moved, it was the most emotional moment, after all, the meat was right in front of them, almost ready to be eaten, so naturally, anything they said would be good.
"Yes, yes, Jian Zhiqing, you should go back and rest first."
"Yes, yes, yes, when the meat is distributed, it will definitely be delivered to your home without missing a single piece."
My first reaction was, "Is this really the kind of treatment we get?"
Seeing this, Li Yan quickly raised her hand and spoke righteously and sternly.
"Yes, yes, that's easy. You shouldn't refuse the aunties' kindness. You should go back and rest first. I'll stay here with Xinxin and bring you the food later."
She was clearly afraid that if she spoke too slowly, she would miss the excitement. Jian Dan was very clear-headed, and looking down at her own child, who was equally eager to try, she seemed rather helpless.
"Alright, alright, then you guys go ahead."
There was no danger in the village, and with all these people around, she didn't give any further instructions. However, Mingzhu, who was standing nearby, spoke up.
"I'll go back with you,"
"Aren't you going to go see what's going on?"
Mingzhu smiled and shook her head.
"It used to be common, so it's not surprising."
So, the group split into two: Jianxin and Mingzhu went back, while the others led Jianxin to watch the excitement.
Now everyone in the village is gathered around the meat, and this place is completely quiet.
Mingzhu also sighed,
"You're really brave. That wild boar isn't a kitten or puppy. It's so big. What if you bumped into it? Wouldn't your small body have been sent flying?"
A simple smirk.
"Wouldn't you be in a hurry?"
Unlike before, when I was home alone, I could just walk away and avoid anything that happened.
Now that we have another child, isn't that why I'm in a hurry?
