My Gentleman Reborn

Chapter 5 Village Chief

The head of Hekou Village is an old man in his sixties. He has dark skin and wrinkled face. He is dressed in half-worn civilian clothes with half-rolled sleeves. He is hoeing in the yard with bare feet.

The man brought He Yuzhou to the outside of the courtyard and shouted loudly: "Village chief!"

Hearing this, the old man turned around and saw that He Yuzhou was slightly taken aback, put down the hoe in his hand, and bent over to greet him from the courtyard.

"Boy Guan, what is this?"

"The village chief is looking for you."

"Oh?" The old man shifted his suspicious eyes to He Yuzhou. He Yuzhou froze slightly, and smiled at the old man: "Village chief, good afternoon."

"Oh..." The village chief nodded with a smile, opened the courtyard door and said, "Come in first."

"En." He Yuzhou nodded, and entered the courtyard a little cautiously.

"Old Cong, is someone coming?" An old woman walked out of the mud house. Although the woman had gray hair, she had a very good complexion and steady steps. When she saw someone coming, she grinned and said, "So it's Guan Xiaozi, why are you free today?" come?"

"Hey, there's another girl, who is this?" The old woman fixed her eyes on He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou was startled, and smiled at the old woman.

The old woman looked at He Yuzhou with glowing eyes, and walked to the old man's side, her eyes still fixed on He Yuzhou: "... Which family's girl is this, she looks really iconic."

He Yuzhou heard the old woman muttering in a low voice, and smiled a little stiffly.

The old woman greeted the strong man named Guan Xiaozi and He Yuzhou to sit down, and enthusiastically brought water from the house.

He Yuzhou thanked him repeatedly, and sat in the village chief's yard, sipping water, but He Yuzhou hadn't figured out how to speak.

Seeing this, the village chief sat across from He Yuzhou, and asked first, "Is the girl looking for the old man for something?"

When He Yuzhou heard the words, he put down his water glass, stood up, took out the household registration card, handed it to the village chief and said in thought: "Village chief, my name is He Yuzhou, I come from a foreign country, and I want to make a home in Hekou Village."

"Huh?" The old man took a look at the paper, stared in astonishment, then frowned, and returned the paper to He Yuzhou.

"This, girl, put it away."

He Yuzhou reached out to take it, and looked at the old man with some doubts. The old man brushed his gray beard and said: "A few days ago, a boy indeed came to me to ask for the household registration of this Hekou Village. At that time, it was the one that the government and I had registered. You told me that it will be a girl here in the future, a girl who is the only one left after fleeing, but I never thought that he didn't come with you."

He Yuzhou was silent, thinking to himself, during the few days when he was blind, the Ninth Young Master had been by his side all the time, so he guessed that the person who registered his household registration should be the Ninth Young Master's servant, another voice he heard.

However, he actually said that he had fled here, He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes, was that an excuse for him to settle down here?

Thinking of this, He Yuzhou immediately reacted and replied: "That is my benefactor. I almost died on the way to escape. Fortunately, my benefactor saved me. Now my benefactor has something to do and left first."

His tone was very flat, as if he was making a statement, without the slightest wave of emotion, but his face was pale, and his lips were still covered with a layer of hoarfrost. At this moment, he pursed his lips to reveal a bit of stubbornness, as if Pressing the sadness and letting others see it, a pity came out from the bottom of my heart.

Seeing this, the old man suddenly said, "It's so."

He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes and nodded, his appearance hit the soft spot in other people's hearts. The old man looked at it and sighed and comforted him: "Everything is over, girl, don't be sad. Since this household registration has the official seal, that girl will be a girl from Hekou Village from now on. Alright, let's just stay here."

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to think of something, looked at He Yuzhou and said, "There is no house or land under this household registration. Girl, even if you settle down in Hekou Village, you have nowhere to go? But you have to buy a few dollars here. land? Or pick a place to build a house?"

He Yuzhou was taken aback when he heard the words, then lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I certainly have such a wish, but..."

He smiled bitterly: "It's just... I'm temporarily penniless..."

Hearing the words, the old man looked at He Yuzhou in astonishment, with deep puzzlement in his eyes. When he went through the household registration with him that day, the boy in Tsing Yi was generous, not like a poor family... Since he is willing to apply for the household registration for this girl, It must be a lot of money, how could you make this girl penniless by being so generous?

Moreover, although this girl's clothes are disheveled, the fabrics on her body are very good, and her temperament cannot be brought up by a rural family like them. Will she be penniless like this?

The old man looked at He Yuzhou in thought.

I'm afraid that the boy was so eager to leave that he forgot to give the girl the silver taels, and the girl almost lost her life in fleeing. I'm afraid all the money and belongings have already been lost, so it makes sense... Thinking about it, the village chief sighed leisurely His tone became softer as he looked at He Yuzhou.

This girl is also a poor person.

It's not just him who thinks like this, but also the strong man sitting next to him. Seeing the desolation of He Yuzhou sitting next to him, he couldn't help but feel soft, and couldn't help but interjected: "I... I have a thatched hut at home. , if the aunt... the girl doesn't dislike it, then let's stay there temporarily!"

He Yuzhou was taken aback, then looked at the strong man in astonishment, the village chief also looked up at him, frowned and said, "Boy Guan, that's your house and your land, you want to let this girl live? You think about it clearly Don’t you need to go home and tell your mother?”

"My mother and I also fled here at the beginning, and they were so penniless. She must also see that the girl has nowhere to go."

Hearing this, the village chief softened his heart and sighed softly: "Forget it, then you can take the girl there."

"Yeah." The strong man nodded.

"...Thank you." After leaving the village chief's house and walking side by side on the track and field track with the strong man, He Yuzhou thanked him softly.

The strong man scratched his head with a smirk when he heard the words: "It's okay, the house has been empty for a long time, and it is also empty. My mother and I have moved away."

"Thank you very much." He Yuzhou said, "If it weren't for Brother Guan, I still don't know what to do."

"Brother Guan?" The man looked at He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou looked back at him and said, "I heard the village chief call you Guan boy, but seeing that you look a little older than me, they called you Brother Guan...isn't that right?" Abrupt?"

"No, no, no." The man waved his hands again and again: "It's the first time someone called me Big Brother, and my name is Guan Dahai. Everyone calls me Guan Boy or Dahai. It's nice for a girl to call me Big Brother Guan. It sounds nice. "

He Yuzhou smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Don't call me a girl anymore. My name is He Yuzhou, so you can call me Xiaozhou."

"Yuzhou? It's like a man's name..." As he spoke, he seemed to realize that he had said something that shouldn't be said, and suddenly covered his mouth and said, "Girl...I..."

He Yuzhou shook his head slightly, expressing that he was fine.

Not only is it okay, in fact He Yuzhou really wants to admit the fact that he is a man, but considering that he is now dressed as a woman and has a household registration with a gender label as a woman, it will only make people feel strange to say this now. He was also so worried at the village chief's office, so he didn't deny that it was a girl's title.

Being called down this way, he was afraid that he would be treated as a girl again for a while, sighing leisurely, He Yuzhou secretly swore in his heart that one day he would be a man again!
