Chapter XVIII The Village Chief
When the three siblings drove back to the village. www.biquge.info The people in the village just happened to have lunch and chatted together, and now it is late autumn, and the grain has been put into the warehouse, so they will get together in twos and threes to talk about nothing.
It happened that they were all enjoying the shade under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village today, and a woman shouted, "The three children of the old Li family are back in a carriage!" One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and there were a lot of rumors about the Li family in the past two days, so people looked towards the entrance of the village when they heard this.
I saw a carriage walking unhurriedly on the road, and the three children in the carriage were smiling. When he got closer, an upright man in the prime of life asked curiously, "Junyi, when did you buy the carriage?" "Third Uncle Yang, this is what my sister bought yesterday, and my sister dug up a ginseng plant in the mountains yesterday and sold it for dozens of taels. bought the carriage, "Junyi and Jinxiu have already figured out how to answer, so Junyi has a good time."
"Jinxiu, this girl is really capable! Even ginseng can be found, this is also God's eyes, you three children finally have a good life. The third aunt of the Yang family next to her sighed! The people next to her responded one after another, "Yes, yes, these three children have had a hard time in the past few years, and they still have to provide for the eldest to study." It's going to be a good day. ”
Jinxiu looked at this group of kind villagers, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, in this small mountain village, there are so many kind and simple people. The three siblings chatted with the villagers and returned home.
Junyi set up the carriage, "Jinxiu, Yangyang, I'll go to the village chief, boil some water, and make some tea for the village chief!" As he spoke, he took two catties of pork and two catties of good wine and a few bags of pastries that he bought for the village chief in the town and went to the village chief's house.
The Li family is at the end of the main road in the village, Junyi took the gift and walked less than half a cup of tea, and then arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief's family is a rich family in Qingniu Village, the village chief's surname is Yang, the eldest son is the shopkeeper in the town's restaurant, and the family's fields are also the most in the village. The second and third sons planted land at home, and the third uncle Yang at the entrance of the village was the village chief's family.
Jun Yi knocked on the door and raised his voice, "I am Jun Yi, the boss of the Li family at the foot of the mountain, is the village chief at home?" It happened to be the third uncle of the Yang family who opened the door, and he was even more surprised when he saw the things Jun Yihe was holding, "Why are you still taking these things, you wait, I'll call my father to you." Saying that, Uncle Yang ran into the house, Jun Yi looked around the yard, the blue brick house, five main houses and three wing rooms, it was already the best house in the village, thinking that his family would soon have a new house, and the small children were also happy.
After a while, the third uncle of the Yang family helped an old man of fifty or sixty years old to come out, with gray hair, flashing eyes, and a cigarette pouch in his mouth, and scolded with a smile, "Am I that old? Boy of the Li family, how are the books in the school? Why do you have time to go to grandpa's place? and buy so many good things, you are young, but you will be able to live. Village Chief Yang scolded his son, and asked Jun Yi, Jun Yi stood up, arched his hand, and his body curled slightly, "Village Chief, the class in the school is okay, I came to the village chief today to buy land, my family Jinxiu went up the mountain yesterday to dig up a ginseng, sold some silver taels, bought a carriage yesterday, but there are still dozens of taels left, I thought about buying land to build a house, so I came to ask the village chief to help me measure the land." As for these wine and meat, they are not worth much money, and the three of us brothers and sisters have relied on the village chief to take care of them all these years, which is also our heart. ”
The village chief looked at the clear and handsome young man in front of him, touched his beard and nodded, "Okay, you three children finally have hope, I can't say anything about it, but your father was also a benefit to one party back then, and the people in the village are also grateful." Now that you are living a good life, and Grandpa is happy, then Grandpa will accept this wine. This is with you to measure the ground, the third quickly took the guy and left. The village chief greeted Uncle Yang, and then pulled Junyi forward, fifty or sixty-year-old people, walking is still tigery, not slower than young people, Yang Sanshu took the tool and caught up, "Junyi boy, where do you want to buy land? Tell grandpa." "It's still at the foot of the original mountain, we all like it there, and we can add more to it, wipe the new yard and the old yard together, and we can also grow some vegetables in the future." But the fence should be higher, and it will be safer at that time. ”
The three of them walked and talked as they walked to the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.
