Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

After dinner, the sky was so dark that there was only the last bit of light left.

Cheng Wan hugged Gu Yu and said to Village Chief Jia: "Village Chief, why don't you leave tonight? It's quite cold today. You have to burn the kang when you get to the place in the dark. Why don't you gather here first?" Stay with us for one night, and then go to Lijia Village tomorrow."

"Yes, the four of us can sleep in such a house if we squeeze it together."

Mrs. Lin also advised.

Village Chief Jia shook his head, "No, I have already caused you a lot of trouble. We are still very tired. We will make your kang dirty again and have to scrub it. Besides, you all need to help us clean up the house." Now, when we get to Lijia Village, we can lay down some things and sleep without delaying anything."

"Girl Wan, Aunt Lin, our bellies are full, warm and energetic now. You have had a hard day, rest early and don't worry about us. We have been on the run for so long, this is a little troublesome. It’s nothing, we can take care of ourselves.”

A man patted his belly and said with a smile.

Everyone thanked Cheng Wan and the others, and insisted on going to Lijiacun.

Seeing that Village Chief Jia and the others were really resolute, Cheng Wan pursed her lower lip, handed Gu Yu to Wang, looked at Village Chief Jia and the others and said, "It's getting late, let's go now, we'll take you to Li Home village.”

"No, no, no, no, little girl! Don't! Oops!"

Village Chief Jia looked at Cheng Wan's back as she picked up a thick stick from the fire in the yard and walked straight out. He looked at Old Mrs. Lin anxiously, "Cheng's family, please advise her! If it's not dark yet, , just give it away, it’s almost dark today, what can you give me! We can go alone! It’s dark on the road, how can we drive? Don’t rush into the ditch again! Turn around and throw her! That wooden stick is uncertain The fire will be out soon!"

"Yes! No need to send us away! We will go alone! Otherwise, when will we be sent there and rushed back?!"

Jia Sheng was also anxious.

Mrs. Lin's mouth twitched and she said expressionlessly: "You don't know her character? I can't persuade her, so I have to persuade you."

Village Chief Jia and Jia Sheng choked and thought in unison: "If I think I can persuade you, why should I let you persuade me?"

Old Mrs. Lin ignored the reaction of Village Chief Jia and the others, and turned to Xiao Lin and the others: "You go too, sit one on a car, and take two more thick firewoods in your hands. If you kill one in this way, there will still be something that can be illuminated." .”

"Wan Yatou, Wan Yatou, you don't need to send it to me. You are a girl. It's not good to go out at night. How about you stay at home and let your father and others send it to you? Do you think it's okay?"

Cheng Wan held a torch in one hand and a riding crop in the other. She turned to look at Village Chief Jia, who was being helped out by Jia Xiucheng, and said calmly: "Village Chief, I'm definitely going. The longer you delay, the later it will be. Hurry up and get there." Car, we can set off now."

Cheng Wan felt that if something happened late at night, with her here, at least he wouldn't suffer any loss in terms of force.

Therefore, she must go along.

Village Chief Jia slapped his thigh helplessly, wiped his face, turned his head and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, don't waste time, get in the car!"

"Village chief, village chief."

Mrs. Zhang ran out holding Bao Ya, followed by Shuanzi and Old Man Xu.

"Village Chief, Shuanzi and Baoya will not go to Lijia Village for the time being. Anyway, Shuanzi is not yet fifteen, and he will not be able to get a share of the land if he goes to Lijia Village. The two children will live with me for the time being. Their relief I'll ask Dafu to go to Lijiacun to get the grain when we get back."

Village Chief Jia saw that Shuanzi and Baoya were leaning in front of Old Man Xu and Mrs. Zhang with expressions of dependence on their faces, and there was no trace of reluctance on their faces, so he nodded, "These two children will stay with you for now. What's wrong with them?" He said, "Of course it's the best thing. When I get the relief rations, I'll ask Chengzi to calculate the share between the two children. Just let Dafu come and get it."

They were about to set off. Beside the carriage, Mrs. Song leaned over and took the hand of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Sun, and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, when you get to Lijia Village, if you have anything to do, come to Pingnan Village to find us. Don't be embarrassed, ah ?”

Mrs. Sun stepped out of the carriage with half of her body. She patted Mrs. Song's hand, her eyes were red and said: "I understand, don't worry, you have had a hard day, go back quickly."

"Everyone sit down, let's go!"

Cheng Daniu shouted loudly, whipped his whip, and the ox cart started to move.

"Aunt Lin, thank you very much! Thank you!"

Several men and women seized the last moment and turned their heads back and shouted loudly.

Mrs. Lin and the others waved their hands, "Go! Be safe on the road!"

It was dark, and even though there were torches for lighting, the driver did not dare to go too fast. It took more than half an hour to get from Pingnan Village to Lijiacun.

Village Chief Jia and his family’s new home is at the west end of the village. It consists of several abandoned and dilapidated thatched houses.

When Cheng Wan and the others came early to help Village Chief Jia and the others clean up the house, they also reinforced the roof and walls.

In order not to disturb the people in Lijia Village as much as possible, Cheng Wan and the others drove their car in a large circle outside the village and reached the west end of the village.

The car stopped and everyone got out of the car quietly, speaking in as low a voice as possible.

Under the light of the torch, Village Chief Jia was supported by Jia Xiucheng, looking at several very dilapidated thatched houses not far away in front of him, and said with satisfaction: "This is good, at least you can have a house when you get there. A place with shelter from the wind and rain.”

"Okay, we're here. Go back quickly. Don't drive too fast on the road. Pay attention to safety."

Village Chief Jia turned to look at Cheng Wan and the others with a gentle smile on his face.

In the dark night, the light of the torch shone on Village Chief Jia's old face, which was as wrinkled as tree bark, casting a circle of warm light.

Cheng Wan handed the torch to Village Chief Jia's grandson, looked at Village Chief Jia and said, "Village Chief, if you need our help, please ask someone to come to Pingnan Village to find us."

Village Chief Jia smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, we've decided not to be polite to you. Go back quickly, it's getting late."

The vehicles drove away from this place one after another. Village Chief Jia and the others stood there for a long time, unable to recover.

"Before, in the village, I looked down on the Cheng family, thinking they were poor and incompetent. Who would have thought that now I am receiving the most favors from the Cheng family. In my heart... I feel really shameless."

"Who says it's not? Especially Wan Yatou. If she hadn't been able to recognize noble people, we don't know what would have happened... I don't dare to think about it."

"He picked us up, didn't mind that we were dirty, helped us clean up, cooked for us, and sent us here so late at night. Such a kindness, I really don't owe you much..."

"And Aunt Zhang. I had a quarrel with Aunt Zhang before. I thought she was shrewd and unreasonable. Now I see that she is really a nicer person."

......

Village Chief Jia wiped the moisture from the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand, looked at the forty people, and said: "If you guys can think this way, it means that Wan Yatou and the others' good intentions are not in vain. They all remember today's kindness, and they must do it if they have the opportunity in the future." Pay it back!"
