Back in the village, the rest of the Mo family were overjoyed to see them return, and they all gathered around to help carry their things.
Every time Su Nanxi goes back home, she buys something whenever she has even a little time. She can't go back empty-handed because she has children at home. Also, she buys some meat and vegetables so she doesn't have to cook them herself!
Sometimes I'm too busy and tired, and I really don't want to do anything. I just want to take a break!
I just wanted to be lazy, but I couldn't say that. So I made up an excuse that the price of meat in town had dropped again, so I bought some to try!
The Mo family members were experienced; they would first check if they had bought any meat, and if not, they would then go to the chicken coop to catch a chicken to kill.
They haven't seen me for a few days. I've never seen anyone like this before. Suddenly I don't come back. I sent someone to tell them that I'm very busy and can't come back. They miss me so much!
What's that saying again? Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and sometimes that really works!
Long time no see, our friendship has only grown stronger!
Even the two dogs were jumping and wriggling with joy, their tails wagging so much it was almost unbearable to watch!
With a wide grin, hehehe, it looks rather comical and funny. How joyful that must be!
The dog thought to itself, "That's right, they haven't seen each other for days, and they're so anxious!"
They kept a close eye on the front door, and would immediately get up at the slightest sound, thinking that the male and female owners had returned!
I'm so excited!
But none of those were true!
They were extremely disappointed!
We were so excited, we could have stretched our necks out, when finally they came back!
What's wrong with wiggling your butt or wagging your tail?
They are happy, they are joyful, they are delighted!
Can't you see how excited everyone is? It's not just the two of them!
It's perfectly normal!
Su Nanxi and her companions felt a warm welcome and joined in the laughter!
Upon hearing that Su Nanxi had returned, the village chief dropped everything at home and rushed over.
He felt that something must have happened in the town, otherwise Su Nanxi and the others wouldn't have all stayed in the town and not come back. He had to hurry over to find out what was going on so he could prepare a response!
Once the village chief was mobilized, everyone in the village quickly found out and began to speculate about what had happened.
As a result, the village suddenly became lively.
It's definitely a famine year, almost certainly!
Everyone shared their thoughts, and finally reached a consensus: something must have happened outside, and this would soon spread to the village, so everyone had to make all sorts of preparations!
Some people weren't panicking, some said they should go back and pack their things properly, and of course, some panicked!
At this time, unless there is something good that benefits the people, it is very likely to be something bad!
Although the villagers of Changna Village had made various preparations in advance, they still felt scared and panicked when faced with the unknown!
Who knows what will come next?
Surprise and unexpected event, no one knows which will come first!
It would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid or worried!
People who comfort others by saying they're fine still tremble with fear when they get home and close the door!
If they knew what it was about, and were very specific, they wouldn't have acted this way!
After the village chief entered the Mo family's gate, many villagers pretended to chat outside, unwilling to leave, hoping to get firsthand information after the village chief came out!
When the village chief went inside, the Mo family hadn't eaten yet and were cooking. He suddenly realized that he might have arrived a little too early!
He arrived almost as soon as the others went in, making him seem like he was in a huge rush!
That's a little awkward!
Sigh! Oh well, the village chief convinced himself that he had come on business, regardless of the time!
How can we specify which time they'll arrive? That would cause problems!
We'll come when there's a problem, it's that simple!
He didn't do anything wrong, and he's standing tall!
As long as he's not embarrassed, then it's others who are embarrassed!
As long as you have thick skin, you can't pierce through other people's laughter!
When the village chief arrived, the Mo family warmly invited him to sit down, have some fruit, and drink some tea, since they weren't doing farm work at this time anyway!
I've been looking forward to this time of day, so I can come back, relax, and catch my breath!
This is when you feel least guilty; isn't this the time when everyone comes home to rest?
Although it was getting dark later than usual, it was still quite late, and smoke was rising from almost every house in the village.
A scene of warmth and tranquility; this is when rural life is at its most relaxing.
The village chief glanced at it but didn't dare to reach out and take it. Good heavens, that was something he couldn't afford to eat!
There wasn't just fruit on the stone table; there were also some snacks and pastries!
Although Old Man Mo pushed the food in front of him and asked him to try it, he simply couldn't bring himself to do it.
It would be too much of a shame to eat at Mo's every time I come here!
He came all this way just to freeload!
But he couldn't resist Old Man Mo's enthusiasm; the old man simply shoved it into his hand, and once it touched his hand, how could he possibly put it back!
Since that's the case, then he won't stand on ceremony; he has to try everything he's got his hands on!
Mmm! It's truly exceptional, delicious!
It smells so good and tastes so delicious!
It makes me a little thirsty after eating, which isn't very good!
"Here, have some tea. This tea is refreshing and thirst-quenching, and it's sweet and fragrant. I'm sure you'll like it!"
Old Mo poured a cup of tea for the village chief and handed it to him. The village chief hesitated for a moment, thanked him, and took a small sip.
Indeed, this is excellent tea!
He was a rough man who didn't know how to appreciate tea. He tried to sip it like others, and even pursed his lips after finishing.
Seeing that he had finished his tea, Old Mo poured him another cup and said with a smile, "We're all farmers, and this tea is our own. We drink it at home, so there's no need for so many formalities. We can drink it however we want. Drinking tea is all about having fun! Drink as much as you like!"
The village chief wholeheartedly agreed, and his slight unease vanished instantly. As expected, Old Man Mo understood him perfectly!
He simply couldn't learn or remember the way city people drank tea!
Do whatever makes you feel comfortable, isn't that great!
Why set limits for yourself and make yourself unhappy?
As the village chief ate and drank, he naturally inquired about Su Nanxi.
Su Nanxi wasn't in the yard at the time; she was busy in the kitchen. Hearing the commotion outside, she knew the village chief had arrived, but she didn't go out.
Who ran out while cooking? Do they even want the food anymore?
She figured the village chief wouldn't go back so soon; most likely it was because she was back that he'd come all this way, and he'd only go back once he got the answer he wanted!
It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer. We can chat slowly once she's finished cooking!
Old Mo couldn't give the village chief the information he wanted because he really didn't know much either, and Su Nanxi didn't say either!
Not long after they got back, before they could say much, the village chief rushed over.
"Something must have happened outside. My daughter-in-law will tell you the details later. Just wait a bit. Anyway, you have nothing to do, so sit down and have a good meal and drink!" That was all Old Man Mo could say.
