Feng Ran was actually quite grateful for everyone's help and accepted their kindness.
She does need these things, but she doesn't know how to make them herself.
"Brother, Sister Fengran just said that we each need to put on a performance for the New Year tomorrow. Let's all have some fun."
"Hmm. What did you prepare?"
"Me? Yang Lin and I prepared a skit."
Sister Fengran said there's a big prize for the first place winner of the performance!
"Then good luck."
"Definitely!"
"So what kind of program are you preparing?" Wang Xiaosi asked again.
"I...I don't know either."
"This won't do, brother. You definitely need to prepare a performance."
Fengran said there are lots of prizes, you shouldn't miss this opportunity!
"We'll see. What kind of performances have they prepared?"
"My eldest sister said she wanted to sing, and my second sister said she would sing with my eldest sister."
Sister Lan Ying said she and Ping An would perform a dance.
Brother-in-law, they said they'd perform an arm-wrestling act.
"Brother Gu, he said he wants to perform breaking a boulder on his chest. That would definitely be fun, but we're not as strong as him, so we can't do it. What kind of act are you planning to do, brother?"
"I abstain."
"What?! Brother, how could you abstain? Even the two aunties have a performance to put on."
"What kind of performances do the two aunties have?"
"They're going to tell a gossip story on stage!"
Wang San San thought to himself, "Oh dear, it turns out I'm the only one without a performance."
Then I realized something was wrong, "What about Qi Xie and Bai Lian?"
"They say they don't have any performances to put on, but bro, let's not compete with them. They don't want gifts, but we can."
"Alright, I understand. You can go back now. We can talk about any performances I have tomorrow."
"Alright, alright, I need to keep practicing. Bye-bye!"
After Wang Xiaosi left, Wang Sansan sat on the earthen slope in front of the field, took a deep breath, and stayed for a while before going back.
Regardless, Wang San San still sang a New Year's song at the party after dinner the next day.
They sang quite well.
"Next up is the mother-daughter singing and dancing duo that everyone's been waiting for! Let's give them a round of applause!" Wang Xiaosi acted as the host, livening up the atmosphere.
...
They were all smiles and had money to pay here.
After a year of planting, everyone at the base was finally able to eat normal food every day.
However, there is a worrying trend: many people are now saying they want to go back to their hometowns after the Spring Festival.
This is hardly a trip back to one's hometown.
It's just that you feel the world is at peace now. Do you want to go home?
Several times, people had already tentatively asked him if he wanted to go home in the spring.
He brushed it off with a few words.
But Qianfu knew that once the time came, he wouldn't be able to fool anyone anymore.
One or two is fine. But if there are too many, he won't be able to get away with it.
...
In the afternoon, a man and a woman who looked like beggars, along with a teenager, came to the village.
Feng Ran was just about to go to the yard to cut a bouquet of flowers when she was almost scared to death by the boy who had somehow sneaked into the kitchen to steal some food.
"ah!"
The boy was startled by a shout. He quickly picked up the leftover bun that had fallen to the ground and tried to run away.
He was caught red-handed by Feng Nangui, who came out of the house.
"Are you alright?" Feng Nangui asked Feng Ran anxiously.
"It's nothing. Why did this person suddenly appear in the kitchen?"
At this moment, Bai Lian and the other person also came out.
Seeing the man who was as dirty as a beggar, they asked him how he got there. At that moment, the men and women outside the courtyard also rushed into the courtyard.
"No! Don't hurt my son!" The woman quickly stepped in front of the boy and hugged him tightly, afraid that her son would be harmed.
"Who are you? Why are you stealing from my house?" Feng Ran asked, somewhat displeased.
"We just went home. We just got back. Xiaohui didn't do it on purpose, he was just too hungry!"
"Please, please spare my son!" The woman's voice trembled slightly.
However, the man who came in with them said with a hint of disgust, "What are you crying about! This is our village. These people came in and took over our village. What's wrong with us eating a couple of meals from them?"
"Your village? What evidence do you have?" Feng Ran retorted sarcastically.
"Of course it is! We just went to the back to check."
Look, they're here! They're staying in all the houses in our village!
You're the ones who're stealing!
Wang San San and the others did indeed come.
The man and woman discovered this when they were checking around the village.
"Then tell me, which house is yours?" Wang Xiaosi asked fearlessly.
"That house you live in is my house!"
They just saw it. The house was built very sturdily. If they were to come back and live there themselves, it would definitely be better than that dilapidated house at the end of their village.
And I just went to check. Both of my family's single-story houses have collapsed. They're completely uninhabitable.
These people aren't from our village anyway. Who's going to know which house belongs to them!
The man's furtive gaze did not escape Feng Ran's notice.
Moreover, the moment the man spoke, she noticed that the woman's expression changed.
"Yes! It's our house! Dad! Tell them to let me go!" The little brat was still yelling. Feng Ran was really getting annoyed.
"Fine. Since you say it's your house, then tell me what's inside? I remember when we came here, the house was fairly well-preserved, and some of the furnishings were still usable," Wang Lili retorted loudly.
“Yes! Just say it! Tell us and we’ll make room for you!” Wang Xiaosi said.
The man panicked. The house used to belong to the village chief; how could he know what was inside?
I only know roughly how many rooms there are. And it's been so long since the apocalypse. How would I know what else is inside?
"Can't tell?"
"Or is it not even yours to begin with? Trying to bully people here?"
"This is our land! I don't care, you all move out today. We want to move in. And the crops grown outside are all on our land."
But since we've already planted it, fine. The wheat in the field is ours; consider it payment for the previous rent!
"You have quite the nerve!" Wang Xiaosi couldn't help but spit.
Actually, there is a solution. Just kill the whole family of three to prevent future problems.
However, these three individuals do not currently deserve to die.
They're just difficult to deal with.
Feng Ran was too lazy to deal with it anymore.
He looked directly at the three of them and said, "I won't pursue the matter of them stealing food today."
Go wherever your home is.
As for the land that has already been cultivated, it was reclaimed from wasteland. There are still many barren fields and wastelands behind the house.
Anyway, there's nobody left in this village now. If you want to farm, just find a few fields and plant there.
I won't say anything else.
You can't prove the house is yours. So it's not your home. Be careful next time. Otherwise, if anything else goes wrong, your brothers and friends won't let you off the hook, and you'll have no one to turn to for justice.
