"Yes, follow me in."

Lin Qing'an quietly turned around and glanced at them. Grandpa's guess was so accurate. No wonder he didn't let me go find them.

As the village chief's house, the yard is obviously larger than that of other houses, and what is different from other houses is that there are some trees planted in this yard.

"Grandpa, a guest is coming."

Lin Qing'an shouted into the house and the village chief came out. Judging from his appearance, he must have been prepared.

Following the village chief was a little old lady. Although she was old, she looked very energetic.

When he saw Zhou Jinran and the others, he immediately smiled.

"Come in quickly, it's cold outside and the wind hurts your face."

As the old lady spoke, she came over and pulled Zhou Jinran kindly.

In fact, Zhou Jinran was not used to being so close to others, but she didn't show it. She just handed the thing in her hand to the old lady.

"Grandma, this is a small gift from us. Please accept it."

The old lady looked at the four of them, all of whom were holding something in their hands, and her smile became a little more friendly.

Although she doesn't care how many gifts others give her, she cares about other people's attitude.

Doesn't the fact that he knows how to give gifts prove that he really wants to stay in Hujiao Village?

"Look at you guys, just come over, it's not easy to send anything when you're so young."

Zhou Jinran left the social matters to her second brother.

Looking at Zhou Jinran's eyes, Wang Yaoming found it a little funny, but he knew the situation and didn't laugh.

"Grandma, please take it. Isn't it almost Chinese New Year? This is our gift to you as the younger generation."

The village chief looked at everything in front of him, and when he saw that the old woman wanted to say something, he interrupted her directly.

"Okay, since this is their filial piety, just keep it. It's cold standing here. Let them all go in."

"Yes, yes, look at me, I forgot about it, girl, come in quickly."

The village chief spoke up, and several people followed them into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a pile of burning firewood in the middle of the room.

I guess this is how people in this village keep warm in winter. Well, this place is next to the mountain, so it's normal to be able to burn firewood.

After all, those who burn charcoal are also rich people.

"Please sit down. The conditions are a bit shabby, please don't mind."

In the past, they would have thought about it in their hearts, but now, after being exiled, they have experienced more rudimentary things than this, so why would they mind?

"Grandma, please stop working. We can just sit down."

Seeing the old lady busy wiping the stools for them, Wang Yaoming quickly spoke.

The stools are covered with firewood ash. They can just wipe it with their hands. There is no need to wipe it with a towel.

Not to mention asking the host to wipe it with a towel.

Fearing that the old lady would attack again, Zhou Jinran and the others quickly sat down.

Seeing this, the old lady smiled and went out.

At this time, only the village chief and Lin Qing'an were in the room with Zhou Jinran and the others.

The few of them didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Village chief, we are here today to ask about building a house."

The village chief didn't seem surprised by their words and asked directly.

"Where are you going to build it and how big will it be?"

Wang Yaoming and his brothers also discussed it last night, and both felt that the place where Zhou Jinran and his family lived was more suitable.

But I haven’t had time to tell Zhou Jinran and the others about this, and I don’t know where they will choose?

It is said that the brothers and sisters have good vision. As soon as Zhou Jinan opened his mouth, Wang Yaoming and the others felt relieved.

"We are planning to build it near the stone house. Is it possible there?"

The village chief glanced at Zhou Jinan, then looked at Wang Yaoming and the others, and spoke after a long while.

"You can go there, but do you want to separate from the group of people who followed you?"

In the village chief's impression, don't these people from the capital like to stick together for warmth?

"There's nothing wrong with being separated. We're all in the same village anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Seeing this, the village chief had nothing to say. Since he could come so happily and talk about building a house, he must be happy to live a good life.

"In that case, you should follow Qing'an's father to survey the site first. Once the report is submitted to the higher-ups, construction can begin. But do you want to invite people from the village or outsiders?"

After hearing what the village chief said, Zhou Jinan and the others wanted to invite people from outside the village, but they didn't know whether they were willing to come to Hujiao Village.

"Don't worry, as long as you pay enough, there will be plenty of people coming."

After hearing what the village chief said, Zhou Jinan and the others felt a little embarrassed. After all, their expressions were too obvious.

"Then village chief, will it be okay for the people in this village to go out?"

Although he knew that this question was annoying, Zhou Jinan still asked. After all, he could only feel at ease when he had things in his own hands.

I don’t know if the village chief is angry or not, but they have already left his house.

The village chief's last words were, "You are not native to this village, how can there be any problem?"

These words were spoken calmly, but Zhou Jinran and the others could still hear a thick layer of depression in them.

It turns out that the people who were exiled before could live well even if they didn’t communicate with the villagers.

It’s because they were not born and raised in Hujiao Village.

Knowing this, Zhou Jinan and the others returned to the stone house and waited for Lin Qingan to call his father over to measure the foundation.

It would be enough if two people were here to do this, so Zhou Jinran and Wang Yaoxing took their tools and went up the mountain.

"It's really uncomfortable to stay in this village. There's no place to talk."

Wang Yaoxing cleared the way with a stick and sighed to Zhou Jinran.

"Brother, you can chat with them after you learn their language."

Wang Yaoxing disagreed with this statement. After all, this village was really weird.

"Of course, the vegetation on this mountain is very lush. It's winter, and it's still green."

Zhou Jinran knew this, after all, the temperature was different.

I'm afraid the snow is piled very deep in the capital city now.

"There's movement ahead!"

As soon as Wang Yaoxing finished speaking, Zhou Jinran followed behind him without making any noise.

When the two of them passed by, they saw a silly roe deer.

"Of course, do you want to be alive or dead?"

Zhou Jinran thought, they came to Hujiao Village and got a stupid roe deer, and he didn't know how the villagers would react when they knew about it.

It’s better to be alive and take him back to see the reaction of the villagers.

"Brother, you have to live."

So, the two of them surrounded them from both sides, Zhou Jinran was holding a whip, and Wang Yaoxing was holding a stick and a dagger.

Zhou Jinran flicked the whip and it tightly wrapped around the silly roe deer's neck. No matter how it struggled, it couldn't get free.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yaoxing hit the silly roe deer with a club, knocking the already struggling roe deer unconscious in a few hits.

"Of course, I didn't expect you to improve so quickly in martial arts training. Even the strong roe deer couldn't break free."
