The boss is five and a half years old, and wealthy families are vying for his favor.

Chapter 83

Manggu Village is located in the southwest hinterland, surrounded by mountains and densely forested.

There are sixty households in total, with less than 200 people.

It is lonely in the world, and the steep mountain road that cannot be driven and can only be walked separates it from the development of the outside world. The only mountain road to enter the village is stepped on by generations of people in Mangu Village.

Jiang Wan and his party walked for more than ten hours from day to night before entering the village.

Fifteen strangers and a big dog immediately caught the attention of the villagers.

"Who are you?" A middle-aged man stepped forward vigilantly and asked in dialect.

His dialect was obscure and difficult to understand. Jiang Wan stepped forward and answered in dialect: "I am Jiang Wan. I live in the back mountain. These are my family members. We are going to the back mountain."

Xiao Jiangwan and her mother-in-law do not live in the village, but live alone in the mountains behind the village. The only way to go to the mountains must be through the village.

The middle-aged man shone a flashlight on Jiang Wan's face, showing a surprised expression, and after a few words, he moved out of the way.

"Wanwan, what did he say?" Bai Suyi asked.

Jiang Jie was heartbroken: "...I, only me." Needless to say, the third brother, the eldest brother will be sitting in the office tomorrow, how can he be in such good physical condition?Is it really useful to get up early and do morning exercises?And mom and dad, they are too old and strong!

"Everyone, put your luggage down and rest!" Jiang Wan picked up the firewood piled outside the kitchen and quickly prepared to boil the hot water first.

Jiang Lian walked up to his younger brother and dragged him forward with some disgust, "You will exercise with me when you get back."

Because of exhaustion, everyone slept soundly that night. Jiang Lian, who was sleeping, was the first to wake up the next morning when he heard footsteps.

"We used to run in the mountains every day," Professor Hu straightened the brim of his hat, "Which research did not go from day to night? Physical fitness is great, you young people—"

"Woof woof." Xiao Tan pushed Jiang Jie's leg forward from behind. Jiang Wan also held his hand, feeling very distressed. If she had known better, she would not have let Fourth Brother follow.

"Huh? Who's a rookie?" Jiang Ao continued to smile.

"Wow!" Xiao Tan replied loudly.

"...It's so noisy." Jiang Jie crawled out with his head on the chicken coop, "Who are you?!"

"I can't do it anymore." Jiang Jie lay down directly on the ground, and Xiao Tan gasped in front of him, sticking out his tongue and rubbing his neck on the back of his hand.

"He said he was going to inform the village chief of our arrival." Jiang Wan waved at them: "It's already late, we'll visit the village chief tomorrow, and now we have to continue on our way."

"Yes, for fear of insects," Jiang Wan said with a smile, "I will smoke the quilt with mugwort before putting it away."

Before Jiang Wan left, Professor Yang and Professor Hu came to the door and said they wanted to go together.On the one hand, it was because of curiosity about Manggu Village, and on the other hand, as a representative of the Huai University Research Institute and Aerospace R&D Center, he investigated Jiang Wan in response to online doubts.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Jiang Jie and Jiang Lian looked at each other, and Jiang Jie asked in a low voice, "Is this the village chief?"

"I'm just afraid that Xiao Jie will fall behind." Jiang Ao said with a smile.

Then he fetched water from the well and went to clean her room.

It was actually the original room of "Little Jiang Wan", but Jiang Wan integrated her memory and was no stranger to this room.

Jiang Jie wailed tragically, and Jiang Wan laughed unkindly.

After taking off the collar, Xiao Tan hung the noose and collar on the fence of the chicken coop, and ran outside with his hooves spread.

Jiang Jie pointed to the main house, put his hands on the sides of his face, and made a sleeping posture.

He opened the tent and saw more than a dozen villagers carrying baskets full of food, several chickens and ducks, and someone even leading a lamb.

Jiang Wan heard the noise in the kitchen, stuck her head out and shouted: "Don't run too far -"

Fortunately, the yard is big enough for a group of them to live in tents in the yard.

Jiang Wan retracted her head again, picked up the palm-leaf fan and fanned it against the stove, and when the fire started, she asked Jiang Lian to help her pour some water into it, and took the pot brush to start cleaning the pot.

Just like most of the houses in the village, the small house where Jiang Wan and her mother-in-law lived was built with stone walls, a thick roof of thatch mixed with broken tiles, and a large backyard with stables for livestock, which was empty. .There is a main house with two entrances in the middle. On the right is the kitchen, which is connected to the warehouse and cellar at the back. On the left is a long corridor and pavilion extending from the main house. There are six or seven large water tanks in the corridor and pavilion. The tanks are full of water. The water is filled with clusters of lotus flowers.

"Don't, don't, I can't abuse dogs." Jiang Jie stood up again.

The hot water in the kitchen was boiled, and the Jiang family, father and son, and the bodyguards cooked dinner together. It was a simple camp meal, but everyone was very comfortable blowing the mountain breeze and looking at the stars.

Ancient and poetic, it also reveals a desertion that has been uninhabited for a long time.

Jiang Jie had a betrayed expression on his face, "Second Brother, how about holding hands?"

After tidying up briefly, Jiang Wan walked out of the main house. She didn't go to see her mother-in-law's room, and the lock on the door was hung intact.

"It's a small matter, no problem." Professor Yang said breathlessly.

Professor Hu glanced at Jiang Ao and Jiang Jie at the back of the team, "It's not very good."

"Wanwan, how long do we have to go?" Jiang Jie squatted on the ground, not wanting to move a centimeter.

Finally, a villager said in non-standard Mandarin: "Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan."

Next to it is a desk. On the table is a small wooden cosmetic box. When the box is opened, the lid can be erected to serve as a mirror.

The room is not big, and there is a small round window facing the mountains. There are not many clothes, so the wardrobe is also small. There is a second-floor shelf stacked on the half-person-high short wardrobe, where books and some miscellaneous gadgets are placed. Son.

At eight o'clock in the evening, they finally arrived at the destination of the long trek.

"It will take about an hour. Fourth brother, can you do it? Let Xiao Tan carry you." Jiang Wan pinched his sore calf for him.

The villagers spoke several words in dialect that the brothers could not understand and woke up the others.

There was an old man among the villagers. He was highly respected by the villagers. When the villagers asked him for instructions, he nodded his approval, and then the villagers sat down on the spot, as if to wait for Jiang Wan to get up.

The tent has been set up in the yard. Professor Hu and Professor Yang seemed to have gone out for a walk and came back with Xiao Tan, describing how big the flowers they saw were.

Jiang Jie maintained the last bit of dignity as an elder brother: "Don't worry about Wanwan! Fourth brother can walk!"

"Who?"

"Do you want to take off the collar?" Jiang Jie asked tentatively.

"Grandpa Yang, Grandpa Hu, can you still walk?" Jiang Wan looked at the other two old people worriedly.

Bai Suyi took out the withered flowers from the vase on the desk, looked at the room and imagined what her daughter would be like living here.

"Mom, we will sleep in my cabin at night. This quilt is clean, but it has not been dried in the sun, so it may have a little smell." Jiang Wan put the quilt over her head and held it over. The huge quilt seemed to drown her. Bai Suyi took it and said, "It's okay, well - it smells like mugwort."

Jiang Lian got up quickly and put on his shoes, "I'll wake Wanwan up." Even if he wasn't the village chief, he must be a highly respected figure, and there are so many villagers, it's hard to neglect.

Before he could enter the main house, the old man stood up suddenly, and the villagers also stood up, looking in the same direction——

In the morning light, Jiang Wan rode a big black dog and came towards them from the forest.

The golden sun shone on her, looking divine and majestic.
