The village chief is also named Jian. Although he is less than 50 years old, in terms of seniority, Jian Guochang still calls him Yaoye.

When Jian Guochang came back from the army, he was quite regretful. He originally thought that his grandnephew would stay in the army to develop, but he didn't expect that he would come back directly.

It's not easy to think about him. Both his parents are dead. He raised his younger brother alone. When his heart softens, he goes out of his way to recommend him as the captain.

But what the village chief didn't know was that Jian Guochang lost the opportunity to stay in the army and develop because of his drinking.

This is why his temper became increasingly grumpy after returning to the village.

He obviously had a great future, but he was ruined by himself. He gave up on himself and drank more and more fiercely, until it turned into alcoholism.

Thinking of Jian Guochang, the village chief shook his head. This Guochang's wife has a bad life just like she doesn't have a man!

Seeing the village chief walking away shaking his head, Xiao Shan sent the Women's Federation people away in a good voice.

As soon as they left, her face suddenly fell.

Although I was extremely angry, I had no choice but to think on the bright side. At least the settlement went smoothly, and the location of this shabby house was not bad.

The gossip in the village is also updated very quickly, but during lunch time, the topic changed from Li Shuying with a big belly to the little widow of a dead man.

There is not much work in the fields now, so some aunts and aunts gather together to warm themselves by the fire, knitting, and chatting about gossip, which is very leisurely.

An aunt said mysteriously, "When I came back from selling eggs in the morning, I saw the village chief and two unknown women at the old house at the entrance of the village... Tsk, tsk, tsk~ I didn't expect the village chief to be such a person."

An aunt next to her glared at her and said, "What are you talking about? It was the comrades from the Women's Federation who brought orphans and widows to settle in our village."

"Oh, I seem to see a woman holding a child." The aunt who spoke first nodded and exclaimed: "Settling down? Doesn't that mean dividing the land?"

"I asked my man to ask the village chief at noon. He said that the woman didn't want the land, but only a place to live, so the village granted her the homestead of the old house."

"As long as it doesn't divide the land, I won't do it otherwise."

Although everyone felt uncomfortable with giving away their old house like this, compared with their own land, it was still acceptable.

After all, no matter what happens to the old house, it will not fall on oneself. The land is everyone's lifeblood and is related to one's own interests.

"I heard that the woman's family suffered a disaster and the man died."

The other aunt lowered her voice and said, "You should all look at your men. I saw that woman at the village headquarters this morning. Her eyes were wrong. She looked restless at first sight."

Several other people were flustered for a moment after hearing this, but they didn't show it on their faces. They just curled their lips in disdain, "My men won't look at those shabby women."

"That's right, my man is very honest, I can rest assured."

It sounds nice, but everyone knows the truth.

So the few men who helped Xiao Shan repair the house the next day would not talk if they could. They could stay three meters away from her, but they would never let the distance become two meters and ninety meters.

And from time to time, women would pass by and look around. Even though this was an area that everyone must pass in and out of the village, the same person appeared three times an hour. No matter how stupid she was, she would know that he was guarding her.

It's not like she can be liked by just any man, right?Xiao Shan was holding her breath but could do nothing.

Li Wenhua knew that Wu Jinhua, Wang Cui, and Lin Ju mentioned this when they came over to chat, but she didn't care about it.

Instead of worrying about irrelevant things, it is better to care about your two pigs.

It was already the twelfth lunar month, and she planned to sell one of the two pigs at home and keep the other for her own consumption.

When the time comes, I'll get some for my parents, and make the rest into bacon sausage, and keep it for later eating.

She just didn't expect that someone she didn't care about would come to her home the next afternoon?

Looking at the strange woman holding a child standing outside his courtyard, Li Wenhua was very confused, "Who are you?"

"Sister, I just came to the village to settle down yesterday. My name is Xiao Shan, and this is my daughter Jian Xiaoxiao."

Li Wenhua felt a little strange. She didn't know this person either?

"What's the matter with you?"

Xiao Shan looked embarrassed, "It's like this. I live in an old house at the entrance of the village now. The villagers are helping me repair it. The dust is too big. My daughter and I have no place to stay. I don't know anyone in the village."

I heard that sister, you just got married in the past two years, and your child is only two years old. I thought that since we are of the same age and our child is about the same age, we might get along together, so I shamelessly bothered you. "

Li Wenhua thought to himself, I don't know if you and I can get along, but with the way Xing'er looks like an adult, we definitely can't get along with the drooling little girl in front of him.

Xiao Shan smiled apologetically when no one spoke.

"I'm sorry, it's okay if it's inconvenient for my sister. I was too presumptuous. In fact, we just arrived in the village and we are orphans and widowed. I feel too uneasy. I thought it would be nice if I could make friends."

"It's okay, come in."

Seeing the uneasy and apologetic look of the other party, Li Wenhua suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and welcomed him in.

Xiao Shan smiled instantly when she heard this, "By the way, I just saw that you seemed younger than me, so I just called you sister. Do you mind?"

Li Wenhua glanced at her and asked, "How old are you?"

"I gave birth late and am already 25. The girl looks like she is 20 at most. My husband's surname is also Jane, so we can be considered a family. Is that what I will call you from now on?"

For some reason, the girl's voice felt very uncomfortable. Although she was older than me, but... "You should call me by my name. My name is Li Wenhua."

Xiao Shan's face stiffened for a moment when she heard this, "Haha, okay, I'll call you Wenhua from now on."

The two of them had arrived at the main room as they spoke, and Xiao Shan sat down unceremoniously without waiting for anyone to greet them.

Li Wenhua didn't say anything when he saw her. He went to the kitchen, took out a bowl, and poured her a bowl of water.

"There's no tea, sugar or anything at home, just boiled water, don't mind."

In fact, there was candy, but it was placed in the cabinet in the bedroom. Her daughter was still taking a nap. She didn't want to go in and wake her daughter up, so she had to treat her with boiled water.

Xiao Shan didn't mind either. Jian Guochang would give out several kilograms of sugar every quarter, and he would give it to himself every time. He thought this family might not even have sugar.

The more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "I don't mind, I don't mind. I'm tired of drinking sugar water, so plain water is just right."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to get the bowl to drink water. Before his hand touched the bowl, he saw a little man rushing over like a small cannonball...
