Zhang Guilan, who was actively advising Lin Xu, didn't notice that the little girl in her arms suddenly stopped and became stiff as if something had hit her acupuncture points.
"County magistrate?" Lin Xu looked up from Aunt Lin's arms in confusion, looking quite confused.
"Yes, the county magistrate. He is the biggest official in our county. He is in charge of several villages and has several police officers. He is very powerful. He will definitely help you find your family."
County magistrate, police officer, these strange and familiar words made Lin Xu completely confused. What's going on? Is she no longer in the 21st century? Why do such ancient-style words appear?
When he thought of this, Lin Xu couldn't help but want to cry.
Zhang Guilan did not expect that in such a short time, the eyes of the little girl in front of him would be filled with tears, and she was extremely sad.
Zhang Guilan was caught off guard, and she suddenly realized that she must have said the wrong thing.
He comforted her somewhat hurriedly: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay. Auntie is here, be good." The movements of her hands became softer and gentler, with deep pity.
If she guessed correctly, the family of the child in front of her might have encountered something unexpected, and the whole family has survived. The world is so difficult, what will this little girl do on her own in the future?
Zhang Guilan had already begun to worry about Lin Xu.
Lin Xu understood that Aunt Lin had misunderstood him and thought that she was crying because she lost her family. In fact, she was crying for herself.
I cried that I was trapped in this unknown ancient time at a young age, and became a teenager, unable to find my way home again.
She felt even more distressed about her small house of less than 20 square meters. It had just been renovated and she had not had time to live in it for a few days. She lost it like this. How could she not feel heartache?
The more I thought about Lin Xu, the sadder I felt, so in the end I couldn't bear it anymore. I hugged Mrs. Lin and cried for a while, as if I wanted to vent all the grievances, depression, unwillingness and hesitation in my heart through this cry.
come out.
But she didn't expect that she would fall asleep in Aunt Lin's arms while crying.
But when I think about it carefully, I think it's normal. She hasn't eaten for a long time, and she only drank some water not long after she woke up. Now she cried like this again, and her little physical strength was exhausted. She didn't sleep.
It was weird in the past.
However, Zhang Guilan saw that there was no movement in her arms. After finding the person asleep, she carefully put him back on the bed and covered him with a quilt. Then he quietly walked out again and stood in his small yard. Zhang Guilan turned back towards the house.
He looked inside, with a trace of struggle on his face, then gritted his teeth, and as if he had made some decision, he left his house and walked towards the center of the village.
That's where the village chief's home is.
...
"Lin Sanjia, why are you here?" Wang Xiaoya, the village chief's daughter-in-law, asked in surprise when she saw Zhang Guilan at the door of her house.
"Sister-in-law, is the village chief here? I came to see him for something." Zhang Guilan said slightly cautiously.
Since her husband and son left, she has been living in a simple life, for fear of causing bad luck to the villagers. Fortunately, the village chief and his family are kind-hearted and take care of her from time to time, so no one bullies her as a widow.
old woman, for which she has always been grateful.
"Yes, you are here. Come in and sit for a while. I'll call someone for you." Wang Xiaoya quickly called Zhang Guilan in, brought her a bench, and shouted into the room: "Old man, come out quickly, Lin
The three families have come to see you to discuss something."
"Coming, coming." A strong voice came from inside, and the village chief, Su Youfu, walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
At first I thought my daughter-in-law was just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it was really from the Lin San family.
Like his wife, Su Youfu was a little worried about Lin Sanjia's sudden visit. After all, this person who usually refused to come to the door for help even if something happened, and who honestly made tofu at home every day, suddenly came to the door, which always made people feel...
This is definitely not a small matter.
It was inevitable that I felt a little uneasy, but after all, I was the head of a village, so naturally I didn't show a trace of expression on my face.
"Lin San's family encountered some difficulties and needed help from the village?" Su Youfu said kindly.
"There is something important that I want to discuss with you, the village chief." Zhang Guilan swallowed nervously, put her hands on both sides, and tugged on her clothes tightly, as if to cheer herself up.
Su Youfu's heart skipped a beat, something really big happened.
Mainly because I was nervous because of Zhang Guilan's behavior.
Wang Xiaoya, who was originally nearby, had been listening to what was going on here since just now.
Hearing that Zhang Guilan asked her men for help, she looked in their direction with some worry as it seemed that it was no small matter.
You must know that although their family is the village chief, their life is a little easier than others. If they can't help with small things, they can't help with big things.
"Tell me first what it is? I know what it is." Su Youfu has not been the village chief for so many years. Although he is worried, he is still stable in the end.
"It's like this. I want to adopt an orphan, a little girl. It's best if it can be settled in our village. I don't understand this aspect, so I came to discuss it with you, the village chief."
Zhang Guilan said these few words intermittently.
"That's it?" the village chief blurted out.
Then he realized that he had lost his composure. He coughed twice, covered it up, and asked uncertainly: "Is this the big thing you are talking about?"
It's no wonder that Su Youfu lost his composure. He was actually led astray by Zhang Guifang's nervous state just now. He thought it was a difficult matter, so that this person who had never asked for help came to the door specially, and the upper limit in his heart was infinitely higher.
When I heard such an answer at this time, I felt a huge gap in my heart.
Not to mention Su Youfu himself, even Wang Xiaoya, who was eavesdropping, did not expect that what he was talking about was such a 'little thing'.
For Su Youfu, the village chief, it was indeed just a small matter.
"That's what happened to the village chief, mainly last night." Zhang Guilan said that she met someone who fainted at the door of her house last night and was saved by her. From her words, she learned that the little girl's relatives were gone and she was alone.
I thought about what I needed to do to help and told him everything.
As a woman, Wang Xiaoya is naturally more sensitive. Seeing that her old man has been silent, she thought he disagreed, so she couldn't help but persuaded her: "According to the Lin San family, that little girl is only about ten years old."
It's not easy despite my poor age, so if you can help me, please help me."
