Chapter 144 Urgent Topics
After putting the two walnuts in his pocket, Fangyuan went to the well to get some water and wash himself.
Then Fangyuan came to the village. Dinner had just started in the village, and the old village chief was preparing meals for everyone. Today's meal was the same as yesterday, which was sweet potato tea.
When everyone saw Fangyuan coming, they all nodded to him, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Of course Fangyuan nodded and greeted everyone, but there were too many people. Three or five people were okay, but what if there were thirty or fifty people!
Fortunately, the old village chief also saw Fangyuan and said, "Fangyuan is here?"
"Yes, village chief, did you just have dinner?" Fangyuan asked knowingly! But there was no other way, he could only follow what the old village chief said.
"Yeah!" The old village chief nodded, and then said to his son next to him: "Bring me a bowl."
The old village chief’s son quickly handed the village chief a porcelain bowl.
The old village chief took it, filled it with a big iron ladle, poured it into a foreign porcelain bowl, handed it to Fangyuan and said, "There's nothing good, only sweet potato tea. Let's eat some first."
Fangyuan originally didn't want to take it, not that he disliked it, but because these were the villagers' rations. If he ate them, the villagers would have to eat less.
But after thinking about it, Fangyuan still took it because he didn't want the villagers to think that he was disgusted and refused to eat these things.
Seeing Fangyuan taking the porcelain bowl, the villagers didn't say anything and even looked very happy.
Because in their hearts, even if they eat less, they cannot let Fangyuan go hungry. These are kind and simple villagers.
The old village chief filled Fangyuan with a lot of it, and it was also very thick, slowly filling a large porcelain bowl.
Seeing Fangyuan taking it, the old village chief's son quickly handed over a pair of chopsticks.
"Thank you!" Fangyuan thanked him and took a sip.
"Yeah! It tastes good." Fangyuan said.
Hearing what Fangyuan said, everyone laughed and felt that Fangyuan was quite interesting.
What's so good about sweet potato tea? They drink it every day. To put it bluntly, they almost vomit after drinking it, but they can't be at odds with each other. In any case, it's better than being hungry.
But Fangyuan didn't mean to say that, but it tasted really good. Fangyuan had never eaten a big pot meal before, and suddenly it felt good to eat it.
Yes, making a pot of sweet potato tea with so many sweet potatoes will definitely taste good, but you can’t eat it every day. It’s really delicious if you eat it occasionally.
"Are you going back today?" the old village chief asked at this time.
"Tomorrow! I'll have someone come over and take the cage away tonight."
"That's it! Okay, I'll have someone prepare the cage later."
"Hmm!"
That night, Fangyuan asked the villagers to deliver the cage to the roadside outside the village.
Then he took the villagers back. Although he didn't know why Fangyuan didn't let them watch the truck being loaded, no one asked.
Because they believe in Fangyuan, since Fangyuan doesn’t let them see it, there is a certain reason, as if they don’t want people to know.
Of course, the cage was not placed directly on the side of the road, but in the grass some distance away from the road.
At two or three o'clock that night, after the uncle fell into a deep sleep, Fangyuan ran out alone, went to the roadside, put away the cages, and then ran back to the granary to lie down.
At about nine o'clock the next morning, Fangyuan had another bowl of sweet potato tea in the village.
While eating sweet potato tea, Fangyuan said to the old village chief: "Village Chief, I will go back soon."
"Leave now? Don't play for another day?"
"No need, I have something to do when I get back."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the old village chief nodded and said, "Okay, come and play when you have nothing to do."
"Well! I will definitely come here when I have time." Fangyuan was definitely not perfunctory, and that's what he thought. If he really had time, he would really come here.
"In this way, I will let my eldest son see you off later and send you to the county town."
"Okay." Fangyuan didn't refuse, because the bicycle was much faster than walking.
When Fangyuan finished the sweet potato tea, the old village chief had already distributed the rice to everyone.
The old village chief took the foreign porcelain bowl from Fangyuan's hand, filled another half of the bowl and handed it to his son, saying: "Eat quickly, and take Fangyuan to the county seat after eating."
"Okay dad." The village chief's son agreed, took the bowl and started eating.
For an adult to eat this much in one meal, it is not more than half of what Fangyuan ate just now.
"Village chief, why don't you give me more?" Fangyuan asked.
"There are still several families at home!" the old village chief said, putting all the sweet potato tea in the pot into a porcelain basin.
To be honest, Fangyuan still admires the old village chief. A village chief who sets an example is a blessing to the villagers.
After Fangyuan came here, she encountered people who were fetching food several times, but every time the village chief fetched food for the villagers first, and then gave the rest to his own family.
And one time Fangyuan saw that there was not much left in the pot. Of course, that time was before the food was replaced.
But no matter what, the old village chief’s actions are respectable.
The uncle ate very quickly. He finished half a bowl of sweet potato tea in three strokes, five by two, and then said to Yuan Yuan with a porcelain basin: "I will send the rice back and come here on a bicycle."
"Okay uncle."
After the uncle left, the old village chief put the little soup left on the bottom of the pot into a bowl, squatted next to the big pot and started eating.
To be honest, Fangyuan's eyes felt a little sore when he saw this scene, but he didn't let the tears fall.
I can only think silently in my heart that I must do something for the old village chief.
Soon the uncle came pushing the bicycle. Fangyuan glanced at the old village chief and said, "Village Chief, I'm going back first. I'll come over to see you when I have time."
"Well! Slow down on the road."
"Got it."
The uncle kept taking Fangyuan to the bus station. From entering the county town to the bus station, the whole journey was very depressed.
There are basically no people on the road, even the shops on both sides of the road.
Normally, given the weather, everyone should go out for a walk, but I didn’t see many people along the way.
"Are you waiting for the bus here?" the uncle asked.
"Yes!" Fangyuan nodded and said, "Uncle, please go back! I can wait alone."
This is inside the county town, and it's also a bus station, so the uncle smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. You be careful alone."
"I know, please go back!"
The uncle went back. After the uncle left, Fangyuan went to the small hotel again because he had not checked out yet.
It's not that he cares about the deposit, but he can't just leave. You must know that he opened the room with a letter of introduction and it was registered on it.
If he leaves like this, he will probably not be allowed to stay when he comes back next time, so he will have to go back and check out.
After checking out the room, Fangyuan returned to the bus station again. It was a coincidence that there was a bus to the city.
After getting on the bus and buying the ticket, Fangyuan sat down in the seat behind the conductor. This time he was alone, so of course he had to be cautious.
And sitting with the conductor is a lot safer.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the bus returned to the city. Maybe it was because she had eaten too much sweet potato tea in the morning, but Fangyuan didn't feel very hungry.
So he didn't go to eat, and directly took another bus to Deshengmen.
After arriving at Deshengmen, Fangyuan went to the supply and marketing cooperative and a non-staple food store to buy some things. He was going home today, so of course he had to bring some things back.
It wasn't until almost five o'clock that Fangyuan got on the bus back to Qinghe.
He went back so late on purpose, but he couldn't help it, because he wanted to give a hundred rabbits to the factory and had to go back later.
When Fangyuan returned to Qinghe, it was not dark yet, to be precise, it was not completely dark yet, so Fangyuan walked around from outside Qinghe to the back of the woolen mill.
The reason why Fangyuan came here was of course to enter the vegetable cellar. Don’t forget, he hasn’t caught the rabbit yet!
Fangyuan has entered the space very rarely. This does not mean that he does not want to enter, but that the conditions do not allow it.
During the day, he either went here or there. At night, he had time, but he couldn't go in.
After all, he is not living in a room alone. It is okay to stay in a hotel outside, but it is very unsafe.
You know, the safest place is always at home, but what is the situation in his home? The family lives on the same kang, how do you let him enter the space?
So the top priority now is to have a room of his own, so that he can go into the space every night.
Open the vegetable cellar, Fang Yuan got in, and then closed the entrance.
After the entrance was closed, Fangyuan was in darkness with no light at all. He quickly took out the lantern and lit it.
Suddenly the entire vegetable cellar lit up. He followed the ladder to the bottom. Fangyuan hung the lantern on the ladder and entered the space.
Compared with a few months ago, the current space is completely turned upside down.
There are rabbits and chickens everywhere on the hills and grass. There are still two pigs, but these two pigs have grown up a lot now.
It is estimated that it won’t take long for the sow to give birth.
Fangyuan came in this time to catch rabbits, so she didn’t feel it carefully.
But there is one thing that Fangyuan can be sure of, that is, the space has not become larger. The entire space is within Fangyuan's perception. Fangyuan will notice the slightest change.
One hundred rabbits were placed in fifty cages, and then Fangyuan came out of the space.
I took out my watch and took a look at it. It was now ten minutes past eight. Then I gave the watch a little energy and threw it into the space.
At ten past eight, it was already dark outside, but it was not the time yet, so he had to wait.
Fangyuan took out a few sacks from the space and laid them on the ground, then took out quilts from the space and spread them on top of the sacks.
Anyway, it’s still early, so Fangyuan is going to lie here and rest for a while.
Maybe he was too tired! Not long after he lay down, Fangyuan fell asleep. When he woke up, he quickly took out his watch and took a look.
