Lin Jiuyue felt a little embarrassed when she saw the village chief's wife staring at her.
"Auntie, what's wrong? What's the matter?"
The village chief's wife shook her head.
"It's okay, it's okay, just eat yours."
The village chief laughed twice.
"Haha, I guess your aunt is worried that you dislike the food she cooks."
Lin Jiuyue paused holding the chopsticks.
"Dislike it? How could we? We've been fleeing from famine and have eaten everything edible along the way. Now that we have such delicious food, how could we dislike it?"
After hearing this, the village chief's wife smiled widely.
"Haha, I'm glad you don't mind. We country folk really don't have any good things."
Lin Jiuyue looked at the food on the table.
There are vegetables and meat, and the food is cooked with white rice.
As for this meal, it was considered very delicious for farmers in that era. After all, ordinary farmers might not be able to eat such good food during the Chinese New Year.
"Village chief, this food is already very good."
Before fleeing the famine, even before he traveled through time, when the original owner's parents were still alive, the original owner was not able to eat such good meals every day.
Only once, during the Chinese New Year, did the original owner eat white rice.
"As long as you don't mind."
The village chief's wife stood by the table, looking at Lin Jiuyue and the village chief. Lin Jiuyue felt embarrassed to eat because she was being looked at like that.
The village chief's wife seemed to notice that Lin Jiuyue was embarrassed to eat.
"Well, you guys eat. When you're done, put the dishes here. I'll come and take them back later. I have some things to do at home, so I'll be leaving first."
After dinner, Lin Jiuyue lay on a recliner drinking tea. He seemed to be paying no attention to anything, but in fact he was using his consciousness to check the situation around the hill.
However, after dinner, the village chief was a little worried about the fire near the hill. He said something to Lin Jiuyue and ran to the foot of the mountain to check everywhere.
Lin Jiuyue couldn't tell the village chief that she could use her consciousness to check the situation, so she waved her hand and let the village chief make the arrangements on his own.
After lying down for a while, Lin Jiuyue felt a little bored, so she took Bubble out of the space and held it in her arms.
When the village chief came back, he saw at a glance that there was a little animal in Lin Jiuyue's arms.
"Miss Lin, when did your little pet come here? Why didn't I see it just now?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Usually I let it roam free, but this guy just ran away and disappeared, and I'm not sure when he'll come back."
The village chief nodded.
I have seen this little pet of the Lin family girl before, but not very often.
No, it’s not that I haven’t seen Miss Lin’s pets many times, it’s that the number of times I have seen Miss Lin is not too many either.
"Ms. Lin, you'd better keep an eye on your pet. The people in our village are okay. Most people know that this little guy is your pet, so no one touches it. But that doesn't mean everyone knows."
"If you get hurt by someone you don't know, you'll be in trouble."
Although this little pet may not look big, it still has meat! If it were caught by someone with unknown origins and a greedy appetite, this little guy might become a snack at any time.
Lin Jiuyue also understood the meaning of the village chief's words.
"Don't worry, village chief. My little pet is very smart and knows how to avoid danger. It's also very fast. It's hard for ordinary people in our village to catch it."
The village chief smiled.
"It's always better to be careful."
Bubble listened to the village chief's words and felt that he was looking down on her. She glanced at him with disdain and then stretched.
"Master, this old man seems to look down on me. If he knew how powerful I am, wouldn't he be scared silly?"
Lin Jiuyue pinched Bubble's fur with the hand that was touching Bubble.
"Put all your thoughts aside. This is a village. Don't cause any trouble for me."
Bubble turned over lazily, found a comfortable position in Lin Jiuyue's arms and continued to sleep.
"Thank you for the reminder, Village Chief."
In the afternoon, the fire was still burning, but it had spread out in a large circle.
"Village chief, the fire has been burning for so long, there shouldn't be any problems, but we still can't let our guard down. So, find four people to guard it to prevent it from spreading elsewhere."
The village chief frowned.
"Four is too many, isn't it? We don't need that many. Two is enough."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Let's just have four people, two in a group, taking turns guarding, so everyone can relax."
The village chief frowned.
Just guarding it for a while is much easier than working. This girl really doesn't take money seriously. It's such a small job, but she actually needs four people to guard it.
However, this is someone else's business, and I can't make decisions for them.
"Okay, I'll have someone guard it later."
After listening to this, Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Well, this fire will probably last a few days. I'll come back tomorrow."
If you can get through the first day safely, the rest of the day should be fine. But it's still better to be cautious.
"It doesn't matter whether you come or not. If you're worried, come over tomorrow."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"It's not that I'm worried, but the furniture delivery will be here tomorrow. Even if I come to the village then, I probably won't be here watching like I am today. I'll have to trouble the village chief to take more care of it."
The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
"Oh? Are all the furniture in your house ready?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"It's ready and will be delivered tomorrow. After the furniture is installed, I will return to the village to live."
The village chief nodded.
The Lin family, when they fled the famine, consisted of a sister and a brother. A while ago, Miss Lin took her brother to the capital, and when they returned, Miss Lin was the only one left. I wonder where the boy from the Lin family went?
"Um, Miss Lin, there's something I want to ask you."
Lin Jiuyue blinked.
"If you have anything to say, Village Chief, please speak directly."
The village chief opened his mouth and took a while to ask.
"Miss Lin, why haven't you seen your brother for so long?"
The head of the Lin family is Miss Lin's younger brother. As the village chief of Shangbei Village, it is reasonable for me to ask the head of the household.
Lin Jiuyue sighed.
"Alas, that kid went to the capital with me last time, and was left behind by a friend there to play. Speaking of which, he's been gone for so many days, and I don't know when he'll be back."
Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan went to the military camp, and Lin Jiuyue couldn't go in and catch the people. She hadn't seen her brother for such a long time, and she was a little worried.
After hearing this, the village chief couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
