Chapter 26: Seeing the Wind Makes the Rudder
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes mockingly: "Yes, you can say it now." It's just that now everyone's food is running out, you, as the person who once cheated them, do you think they will chase after the ten catties of food you collected at the beginning? ”
"You can totally go for it."
"Besides, if I find ten portions of food here, then everyone must think that you must have three or four servings, and you don't think the villagers will smash open your door?"
Lao Shatou was stunned, but he was unwilling to go like this, pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and said: "Then I don't care, I don't have anything to eat now, I can't starve to death!" ”
"Then pack up and leave with the others."
"......"
Without waiting for Lao Shatou to finish speaking, Gu Jiu left directly to the village chief's house, and Lao Shatou didn't leave, and followed Gu Jiu step by step from a distance.
"At this time, I went out to find food!" Lao Shatou followed while happily thinking about how to snatch the food from Gu Jiu's hand later.
But as he walked, Gu Jiu actually knocked on the door of the village chief's house.
"A long girl? What's the matter with coming here at this time? The village chief had two pieces of clothing on his arm, apparently busy packing his things. Seeing Gu Jiu nodding, he turned sideways and let her into the hospital.
Closing the door, Gu Jiu said seriously: "Village Chief, I have a way to help the people in the village get through this difficulty. ”
Hearing this, the village chief hurriedly pulled Gu Jiu into the house.
"Great, great, Gujia Village is saved!" After listening to Gu Jiu's words, the village chief raised his hands excitedly, eager to kowtow to the old man twice, thanking him for the spirit of the old man.
After the excitement passed, the village chief gradually calmed down, not to mention that the fog area was dangerous and dangerous, and there was thick snow outside now, how could Gu Jiu find a large potato so delicately.
"Xiao Jiu, potatoes are not cold-tolerant, and now they are cold and snowy, they must have rotted a lot."
"I dug them up one by one in advance."
"You already knew there was food, so ......"
Gu Jiu smiled: "Is the village chief blaming me for not saying it earlier?" ”
"The temperament of the people in the village, the village chief can't be unaware, right? If I had taken it out earlier, most people would have ended up where they are today. And I'm going to get on fire myself, and they're rightfully asking for food. So instead of that, it's better to take out the food at the last minute. ”
The village chief looked at Gu Jiu and didn't speak, most of the people in the village were very assertive, unless they were forced to do so, otherwise they only listened to their own choices, just like when they were asked to buy food.
The village chief sighed and said, "You just said that you have a request, what is it?" ”
"Our three rooms are going to leave the Gu family completely."
Hearing this, the village chief furrowed his eyebrows fiercely: "Xiao Jiu, do you want to split up?" Your grandmother is still here, and this family will go to jail! ”
Gu Jiu shook his head and said, "I don't have a family, I plan to move to the county after the city gate is opened." ”
"Are you afraid that your grandmother will sue you then?" The village chief asked with some uncertainty, but generally speaking, as long as the children send money or things on time, the elders will not do such a thing.
Gu Jiu nodded and continued: "I want a guarantee to ensure that no one in my grandmother or even the entire family will report our three rooms!" ”
The village chief smiled, looked at Gu Jiu with the eyes of an immature child and said, "Xiao Jiu, if you send things to the family on time, this situation will not occur at all." ”
"But I'm not going to come out!"
The village chief was stunned, his smile froze on his face, and his eyes looked at Gu Jiu with complicated eyes: "Xiao Jiu, after all, it's your grandparents, even if you are dissatisfied, you can't do this?" You're unfilial! Your father has a spirit in the sky and sees you like this, and he can't be angry to death! ”
The village chief's voice became more serious than the other, and Gu Jiu had no intention of refuting it when he saw this, but he would not compromise at all. It is the original owner who has a blood relationship with Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu, but the original owner has been forced to death by their own hands, and he is not obliged to take care of them as an outsider?
The village chief didn't speak for a long time, and he couldn't solve the situation of starving to death together in the whole village, so he finally sighed: "Xiao Jiu, if you have any trouble, you can tell the village chief, the village chief ......"
"Village chief, there are many people in the village who don't want to escape the famine, I can gather them together, and I can achieve my goal." Gu Jiu directly interrupted the village chief and completely picked up the words, I came to you just because you are the village chief, I notified you of something first, but it doesn't mean that I can't do it if you don't express your position.
"Xiao Jiu, your uncle is afraid that you will regret it in the future, it doesn't mean anything, you wait, auntie will help you call everyone over later, and let your grandfather sign and pledge." Aunt Kasumi said as she pulled the village chief into the back room.
"Are you stupid, you don't know what the attitude of the people in the village has towards you, now this matter is going to go wrong again, do you want to be the village chief anymore! People want to leave, what are you stopping? The old man Gu's eccentric big house can be seen by everyone, and this long-term girl is dead father's ......"
After a long time, they couldn't hear clearly, and the two of them chattered in the back room for a long time before they came out.
"Xiao Jiu, you wait here for a while, Aunt Xia will help you call everyone over! Your grandfather is a thin-faced man, and some of the whole village have witnessed that he will definitely not trouble you again in the future! As she spoke, Aunt Xia wrapped her headscarf to block the wind and went out, while the village chief took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the back room and began to write.
This set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone has been around for some years, and it was given to him by the previous village chief when he became the village chief more than ten years ago.
The villagers didn't want to leave their hometowns to go out to ask for food, and now they knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and they were more and more excited, and the whole family ran to the village chief's house like chickens, and it didn't take long for the courtyard to be full of people.
"Folks, my land is too small, except for Old Man Gu's family, let's just leave one person here in each family, otherwise we won't be able to stand!"
"Why, village chief, do you want to give them more food! They are all fellow villagers, you can't be partial as the village head! ”
"That's right!"
It's hard to be quiet when there are a lot of people, and the slightest movement is bustling, especially now.
"Folks, everyone be quiet, this grain was found by Gu Jiujiu, and they let us take the food, we still have to give this privilege to others!"
Hearing this, the voice of opposition immediately disappeared, and one after another praise rang out, and many people began to leave and stand outside the courtyard on their own.
When Old Man Gu and the others arrived, the scene was even more excited.
"Old man, you are the lucky star of our whole village!"
"That's right, why did you push this village chief to the position in the first place?"
"That's right, Old Man Gu just heard that someone went to your house to make trouble, but I didn't go!"
“……”
The flattery of all reached Gu Jiu's ears and also reached the ears of the village chief. Aunt Xia, who had just come back from shouting, happened to hear this, and pushed the person away with a straight face and walked in.
Old Man Gu, and Old Man Gu, if it weren't for him, would his man's prestige in the village be lower and lower year by year? Pretending to be confused, I really think others can't see through it!
Aunt Xia's behavior did not affect the flattery of those people in the slightest, and it was like the two of them who were about to smash the door not long ago. Especially the leader just now, now he is even more witty, and he hasn't stopped since Old Man Gu appeared in his mouth.
In the praise, Gu Youcai and Zhao Xiu'er, who were originally eager to shrink into a ball and didn't want to see people, also straightened their waists and talked happily with everyone.
"Old man Gu, where is your family?"
Old Man Gu was busy listening to flattery, regaining the face he had just lost, and ignoring the village chief. It was Gu Wensheng who opened his mouth to explain: "It's uncomfortable to fold up, so I'm asleep at this time." ”
Hearing this, a purring of comforting words immediately gushed out.
"Wensheng, this Fold Qi is fine! You said that I don't have a serious old rough man's hands, so I'm here to accompany Zheqi. ”
"Yes, yes, just now, I'm so sorry! Village chief, you are also accommodating, let's not let people come! ”
"Wensheng, when the time comes, my child will be admitted to study as a child, you can't wear small shoes for my child!"
"Yes, yes, the child is innocent!"
Everyone, you and I say a word, Gu Wensheng is also happy to listen to the good words, and nods again and again to show that he is not so narrow-minded.
Aunt Xia rolled her eyes and said loudly: "Only Xiao Jiu knows the location of this grain, and I don't know what you are talking about there?" If you don't have any people, you can't start! ”
Hearing this, the audience immediately fell silent, Gu Jiu looked at Gu Wensheng, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Since everyone is reluctant to disturb my cousin, then we will stand here and wait, and when he wakes up, I will tell you the exact location." ”
Joke, what she wants is to prevent future troubles, what is the saying for this disaster?
Everyone in the village was also full of people, and listening to Gu Jiu's tone and not having something to say, they all kept a little distance from Old Man Gu and the others.
Old Man Gu snorted coldly, knocked on the ground with his cane and scolded: "Long girl, don't delay everyone's time, it's quite cold for the villagers to stand here." ”
"If it's cold, go back! Anyway, I won't talk about it if he doesn't come to me, and the villagers can go back and wait, but if they take less food than the others, then they won't blame me. ”
Take less food? How's that going to work? Anyway, if no one arrived, they didn't go to get food, and a few people immediately came out of the crowd and volunteered to call people.
Gu Wensheng was afraid that something would happen again, so he hurriedly trotted out and followed.
"Gu Jiu, what are you doing here? A girl's screaming is not afraid to make people laugh! Old Man Gu stared at Gu Jiu, his eyes full of warnings.
Seeing that there were still people who couldn't tell the difference between the big and small kings and wanted to help Old Man Gu speak, Gu Jiu said directly: "Grandpa, if you don't want food, you can go back now, so that the villagers can share a little more." ”
