That person's back looks so familiar.

I just can't remember it at the moment.

At this time, the man turned around and looked at Gao Zhi, as if to make sure that Gao Zhi saw his face clearly, and then he hurried away.

Gao Zhi was anxious: "Mom, I saw someone I know, please take me to find him."

"Where? Who is it?" asked Mrs. Xie.

Gao Zhi pointed toward the street.

Xie hurriedly ran in the direction she pointed, but after turning for a long time, she still couldn't find the person Gao Zhi was looking for.

Gao Zhi saw that Xie was exhausted and called out distressedly, "Mom, I won't look for her anymore!"

"Jiaojiao, who are you looking for? Does mother know him? Otherwise, mother will take you to his house to find him later?" Xie asked breathlessly.

Gao Zhi shook his head. "I don't know him. I just seemed to have seen him before, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Gao Zhi is now a little unsure whether the person he saw just now was the same person in the mass grave a year ago?

However, when the man turned around and looked at him, Gao Zhi felt that he was not mistaken.

At that time, the man was acting mysterious and spooky, and he was the same today. He turned around to look at me, greeted me, and then ran away.

What on earth is he going to do?

I had a vague feeling that this person showed his face on purpose to let me know that he was nearby.

But why do this?

I can’t figure it out!

Gone in the blink of an eye?

A chill crept into Xie's feet.

"Then I won't look for it anymore!"

Could it be that the child was watching something he shouldn’t be watching?

Her father once told a story about a child who has sufficient yang energy and, at special times, may be able to see things that others cannot see.

"Well, I won't look for her anymore!" Gao Zhi used his sleeve to wipe the tears from Xie's forehead.

Xie took Gao Zhi back and drove the ox cart, went to the grain store to buy some things, and went to the cloth shop to cut some white gauze, as Gao Zhi said she needed it to make tofu.

Xie also bought some candied fruits and melon seeds.

This is Gaozhi's snack.

When returning to the village, Xie brought a few villagers with her.

Gao Laoer, who was lying in ambush halfway on the road, stamped his feet in anger as he watched the ox cart passing by.

There were villagers on the ox cart and he couldn't do anything.

His parents told him not to be anxious, but how could he not be anxious?

Only by getting rid of Xie's problem can he enjoy wealth and prosperity sooner.

Gao Laoer looked at Gao Zhi, who was being carried by the villagers in turn on the ox cart, and a fierce light flashed in his half-closed eyes.

He came out of the woods and went to the town alone, where he wrote a letter and sent it out.

…

The villagers who went out to sell braised meat and cakes today came back early in the morning. They happily came to Xie's house and brought snacks for Gao Zhi.

"Sister-in-law, today's braised meat is sold out."

"Sister-in-law, thank you for helping me explain today at the entrance of the market. Now everyone in the town knows that the braised meat I sell is made by you, and they won't have any doubts anymore."

"Sister-in-law, meat patties are also selling well. Can you make more tomorrow? I want to order sixty from you and I will sell them in the county."

When others heard this, they also wanted to increase the amount.

Xie was happy to see that they were doing well.

However, I wasn't so happy that I couldn't tell the directions.

She explained to everyone that it was not advisable to increase the quantity too much suddenly, because if they couldn't sell them, and the products went bad in their hands in such hot weather, they would lose money.

When running a small business, you should take it step by step.

Everyone thought what she said made sense, so they added a little more to see how the sales went.

Then slowly increase the dosage later.

Several people took out the oil paper bags in their arms and said, "Jiaojiao, this is for you to eat."

“Jiaojiao, I bought it for me too.”

"Jiaojiao, this is what I bought."

Gao Zhi refused to accept it this time. He shook his little head and waved his little hands.

"Auntie, I can't accept it!"

Several people were confused.

This was always collected before, why not today?

Gao Zhi looked at Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie explained: "Jiaojiao and I appreciate your kindness, and I bought some food for Jiaojiao on the street today.

I don't have any other intention in not accepting these things. I just don't want others to think that you are deliberately currying favor with me, or that the village chief and I have secretly accepted your benefits.

This is not conducive to the unity of our entire village.

Take it home and feed it to your children."

All things are difficult at the beginning!

We can’t let the whole village participate now, as people will think too much, so we should not do anything that may cause misunderstanding.

A bag of snacks is nothing to the Xie family.

But children from poor families have to look forward to the end of the year so that they can eat something to satisfy their cravings during the New Year.

The villagers understood and stopped forcing him.

They put away the oil paper packages and chatted with Mrs. Xie with a smile.

Xie is really different from before.

Nowadays, no one can find fault with the way you behave in society.

Outside the courtyard gate, the old ancestor stood for a while, nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and went home.

If the villagers didn't give out snacks, they would roll up their sleeves and help out.

When Li Mei came over, there were already quite a few people in the Xie family's yard.

She was shocked and thought that everyone was here to steal her job. But not long after, she realized that these people came here specifically to help, and they were all eager to establish a good relationship with the Xie family.

Gao Zhi sat on a small wooden stool, eating candied fruit, and watching the scene with a smile on his face.

very nice!

Everything is going in the right direction!

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

A familiar voice was heard, Gao Zhi turned his head and saw a little mouse squeaking behind him, raising its little paw and pointing outside, as if it had discovered something.

Gao Zhi nodded.

The little mouse quietly walked out of the yard.

Gao Zhi ran to find Xie, "Mom, I want to go to the village to play for a while."

Mrs. Xie shook her head. "Jiaojiao, I'll take you out to play after I'm done with my work, okay? You can't go out alone, or I'll be worried."

Gao Zhi thought about it and nodded.

"The door, okay?"

Mrs. Xie nodded, "Okay, just in front of our courtyard, no further."

"OK."

Gao Zhi walked out of the yard alone, and the little mouse was waiting for him by the side.

Gao Zhi spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.

The little mouse nodded.

I know I can’t leave!

Not long after, Li Mei carried the pig to the river to wash it. The little mouse pointed and Gao Zhi understood.

"Aunt, I want to go with you too."

Li Mei turned around and asked Mrs. Xie in the yard, "Sister-in-law, Jiaojiao said she wanted to go to the river with me, is that okay?"

Thinking that Gao Zhi just wanted to go out and play, Mrs. Xie agreed and came out to give him some instructions.

"Jiaojiao, when we get to the river, just play by the side. Don't go too far."

"good!"

"Listen to your aunt."

"OK!"

Li Mei is carrying things and cannot hold on to high branches.

There were other villagers who came with them and asked to carry Gao Zhi away, but Gao Zhi was unwilling.

Everyone walked slower and took good care of Gao Zhi along the way.

When they arrived at the river, Li Mei taught everyone how to deal with the pig offal.

Xie said that he could tell everyone how to wash pig offal. The most important thing in making braised food is the brine.

Everyone was chatting while washing the pig offal.

After washing again and again, everyone was surprised to see that there was no odor on the pig intestines in their hands.

So this is how you clean pig intestines. No wonder there is a weird smell no matter how they wash them.

The little mouse did not follow, but went to the other side of the mountain.

Gao Zhi was picking perilla leaves near Li Mei and the others.

The river bank was wet, and Gao Zhi didn't dare walk too close to it, for fear that he would accidentally fall into the river.

Li Mei looked back from time to time to make sure Gao Zhi was safe before continuing to work.

"I'm done!"

Li Mei stood up and turned to look in the direction where Gao Zhi was playing, but there was nothing there.

"Where's Jiaojiao?"
