Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

While He Yuzhu was transferring food out of the space, he was communicating with System Laoliu using his thoughts.

"That Tongzi"

"Ok?"

"Brother Liu, I just called out the wrong name. Can you make the scene more realistic later?"

"As long as the price is right, I'll break the glass and buy a yellow croaker."

"make a deal!!!"

He Yuzhu, who needed help from others, had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept being robbed.

Seeing He Yuzhu agreed so readily.

"Damn~ It's too little~" Lao Liu slapped his thigh in regret, but the hammer had already fallen and it was impossible to regret.

He Yuzhu looked at the pile of grain on the ground and felt that it should be enough for the remaining people in Jijia Village to survive the winter. As for what would happen after spring, it would all depend on their luck.

He Yuzhu looked down at the ground and saw messy footsteps and tire marks. For a moment, He Yuzhu felt as if someone had really been there.

He shook his head, thinking that he shouldn't scare himself. What if he got hurt? He had to say that Lao Liu, who had received the money, was still very reliable.

Sitting in the car, I took a deep breath. The car horn sounded, especially loud in this quiet little mountain village.

Hearing the signal from He Yuzhu, Zhao Xu stood up and said to Ji Wangzu: "Old village chief, my brother has sent a signal, let's take people to move the food."

When they heard that there was food to be moved, everyone who could stand wanted to go and take a look and help.

Zhao Xu saw that the old man who was already over 60 was also going, and hurriedly said:

"Old village chief, just let the young ones go, and let the older ones rest here."

"Oh, yes, yes, I was so excited that I forgot about it."

"Everyone, listen to me. In addition to the strong laborers, the elderly here should take care of each other and watch the children."

Later, under the leadership of Ji Wangzu and Zhao Xu, the group of people were no longer afraid and ran towards the village entrance with strong legs and feet.

Looking at the people who appeared in front of him so quickly, He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh that everything was different with hope.

"Old village chief, this is all the food we have. I have done my best."

When the people in Jijia Village saw that they were all coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, they showed no disgust on their faces. They all held the sweet potatoes and couldn't let go.

"Old village chief, tell everyone to stop standing there and move them quickly. If they get frozen, they won't be able to be stored."

"Did everyone understand? This is the life-saving food for our village. I hope everyone will not go against their conscience. I don't think there are such people in our village."

"Old village chief, don't worry, we are not afraid of death, we will not do such a thing."

The old saying that when people are united they can move mountains is absolutely true. A large pile of grain may seem like a lot, but in front of these country men, it is no problem at all and they can do the job in one go.

The sweet potato cellar in the village, which had not been used for a long time, was put to use again at this time. After all the sweet potatoes were transported into the cellar, Ji Wangzu had people bring two large bluestones to press down the entrance of the cave, and then covered it with thatch.

It would be difficult to find it unless you are particularly familiar with the terrain.

It was already late at night when I finished my work, and the mountain wind blew on my face and it hurt.

Ji Fang had already cleaned up a room in his house. Although it was simple, it had a brick bed and the thing that was most in abundance in the mountainous areas was firewood.

Erwazi had already heated up the earthen kang very much. As soon as He Yuzhu and Zhao Xu lay down, they felt warm all over and fell asleep quickly.

He Yuzhu was dreaming that his and Lou Xiaoe's child was born, and he was so happy that bubbles were popping out of his eyes.

Ji Fang's heart-wrenching cry made He Yuzhu and Zhao Xu get up quickly and drive to the yard.

When He Yuzhu arrived in front of Ji Fang, he felt helpless seeing the situation. Ji's mother was already dying and even a god could not save her.

The reason why he was still holding on to his last breath was as if he was waiting for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu squatted down, held Ji's mother's hand and said, "Aunt, you can go without worry. Leave Ji Fang and Er Wazi to me. When you see Hu Zi there, tell him so that he can rest assured."

"Zhu Zi, the Ji family has caused you trouble. I will repay your kindness in the next life."

After that, he said to Ji Fang and Er Wazi with difficulty: "Fang'er, Er Wazi, no matter where you go in the future, never forget that Jijia Village is your root, and always remember the kindness of the villagers."

"Mom~ I will be obedient from now on, please don't leave me~"

Erwazi could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.

Mother Ji took a deep look at her two children and said dangerously: "At the end of the day, I can still have a full meal. It's worth it."

Ji's mother left with a smile on her face, perhaps she left happily.

Ji Fang was sensible to begin with, and she suppressed her sadness and said to Ji Wangzu:

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm sorry to bother you with my mother's funeral arrangements."

"Don't worry, kid. The village will take care of your mother's funeral."

The Ji family was poor, and Ji's mother had not prepared a coffin before her death. At this time, an old man in the village came out and said, "Wang Zu, use my coffin."

"Brother Wangshan, what will you use in the future?"

"I'll talk about it when the time comes. We can't let Hu Zi's mother go in such a disgraceful way. We can't let Hu Zi feel disappointed."

"No need to persuade me, it's decided. Shanwang, go get some people to carry it over."

The customs vary from place to place, so He Yuzhu and Zhao Xu stepped aside. At this moment, just being quiet and not disturbing them was the best support.

Everything was kept simple, and with the help of the Ji family, Ji's mother was buried before the sun set. From then on, a new mound of earth was added to the Ji family's ancestral tomb.

At night, Ji Wangzu found He Yuzhu, took a puff of cigarette and said, "Comrade He, let's raise Ji Fang and Erwazi in our village."

"Uncle Village Chief, since I promised Aunt Ji, I will definitely take good care of them, so don't persuade me."

"Comrade He, we in Jijia Village have remembered your kindness in saving our lives. If you need anything, just send a message."

What Ji Wangzu said is similar to what Sun Daolin said. Such a family is truly admirable.

After sending Ji Wangzu away, He Yuzhu sat next to the siblings.

"Sister Fang, Erwazi, come back to the capital with me."

"Brother Zhuzi, my brother and I will go with you. I have to listen to my mother. We will find a way to support ourselves."

In this way, He Yuzhu stayed with the siblings for another three days to burn paper for Ji's mother, and then prepared to return.

Before leaving, all the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. Ji Wangzu said to them:

"Fellow villagers, you may have helped Hu Zi's family, but Fang Er and Er Wa Zi brought us relief food from the capital, which is much more than what we have done. If there is any debt, it is we who owe Hu Zi's family. Don't you agree?"

"The old village chief is right. We must remember this kindness."

"Fang'er, Erwazi, this place will always be your home. You can come back anytime."

He Yuzhu knew why Ji Wangzu said those words. He didn't want the siblings to leave with a burden in their hearts.

He Yuzhu patted the siblings and said, "Fang'er, Erwazi, go kowtow to the villagers before you leave."

Ji Fang and Er Wazi held hands and knelt down respectfully, kowtowed three times to the villagers, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa Village Chief, my brother and I will come back."

He Yuzhu drove the car quite far away, but the brother and sister kept looking in the direction of Jijia Village, trying hard to take one more look, one more look...
