Chujiu was lying on the bamboo bed, like a commander, instructing Xiaoyu and I to clean up the dishes and wash the pots.
Grandma Jian Shu redistributed the supplies brought back on the ninth day of the lunar month, and asked which supplies each villager should send.
A large bundle of candles was divided into fifty small bundles, each of which contained about seven or eight candles.
As for ten pounds of dried noodles, Grandma Jian Shu decided to give them to the ten families with the least fields.
I kept some of the dry goods such as condiments that I needed, and the rest was still distributed in detail.
It seems that it is not easy to be the leader of the village. The detailed living conditions of every household in the village are well known.
After cleaning the tableware, Xiaoyu glanced at me and ran back to the room on the second floor.
I guessed what Xiao Yu was going to do.
On the way back from the lake, I handed the 5,000 yuan in cash and bank card that Xiaobai gave me to Xiaoyu.
On the way here, I was still thinking about what Xiaoyu would do with the cash in this barren mountain.
It turned out that Xiaoyu thought that she might have to stay here for a long time, and she couldn't help Grandma Jian Shu too much, so she simply used the salary she had saved over the years to contribute to the village.
Xiaoyu counted out one thousand yuan from the five thousand yuan and insisted on giving it to me. It would definitely cost a lot of money for Chujiu and I to go back and forth.
In desperation, I took out the bankbook my grandpa left for me and the 10,000 yuan in cash that the landlady paid us a few days ago. Xiaoyu no longer worried about Chujiu and me.
"I didn't expect that you and the two junior high school students earn more money than I did after working for several years."
I briefly talked about the department's affairs with Xiaoyu, and in order to prevent her from worrying about me, I deliberately added fuel to the fire and doubled the department's allowance several times.
In fact, the subsidy given by the department is far less than Xiaoyu's salary in the hospital. After all, she is a member of the scientific research team and enjoys a lot of financial subsidies.
Xiaoyu discussed with me that there were a total of 120 households in the village, and she wanted to share her money equally with them, with each household receiving 40 yuan.
I gave Xiaoyu another thousand yuan, and I simply rounded up the round figure of fifty yuan.
I remember that my uncle gave fifty yuan to each household in Tuhaizhai during the Chinese New Year.
"Grandma, you can share this, too. It's a little thought that Qin Feng and I gave to the village."
Xiaoyu handed a stack of banknotes to Grandma Jian Shu, and Chujiu shouted that he also had his thoughts in it, and that he had also helped make money.
Indeed, from the time Uncle Ding started introducing business to us, it was Chujiu who made the greatest contribution, and it was also Chujiu who contributed the most.
"Including our own family, there are a total of 120 households in the village. The price here is exactly 6,000 yuan, 50 yuan per household, which is fair and just."
Xiao Yu chuckled and took out a fifty-dollar bill from her hand, stuffed it into Grandma Jian Shu's pocket, and placed the remaining money on the table.
Grandma Jian Shu shook her head helplessly and joked that some time ago she was envious of her uncle's ability and had given money to the village.
Unexpectedly, the future leader of Fengwang Village would be even more powerful. He could take care of such a large village. Xiao Yu stomped her feet in embarrassment after saying this.
Grandma Jian Shu distributed supplies suitable for each household, then stuffed the wad of banknotes into Xiaoyu's hands and asked us to go door to door to distribute supplies after dawn.
"Finally, I don't have to be busy all alone."
It was obvious that Grandma Jian Shu actually wanted Xiaoyu to have a higher reputation in the village.
After lighting the oil lamp and chatting for a while, Grandma Jian Shu urged us to go to bed early and not waste the lamp oil. By this time, people in the village had already gone to bed.
There were originally two small bamboo beds at home, but one was taken away by Lanyan some time ago.
Grandma Jian Shu wanted Xiaoyu to sleep with her in the room downstairs, and Chujiu and I would sleep on Xiaoyu's big bed.
The last time we came here, because Xiao Yu was in a coma, Grandma Jian Shu lived with Xiao Yu upstairs, while Chujiu and I lived downstairs.
"Grandma, I want to live with Qin Feng this time."
When Xiaoyu said these words, all of us were stunned, because I didn't expect Xiaoyu to say that at all.
As for Chujiu and Grandma Jian Shu, they were probably in the same situation. They both thought their ears were wrong.
"I want to live with Qin Feng."
Seeing that no one responded to us for a long time, Xiaoyu summoned up the courage to say it again, but the voice was so low that only she could hear it.
"Okay, I just don't want to sleep with Guo Guo. He always grabs the quilt from me. I want to sleep on the small bed downstairs."
I cheered on the ninth day of the lunar month, I could finally sleep on the small bamboo bed I slept on when I was a child.
"Xiao Yu!"
Grandma Jian Shu scolded her dissatisfiedly, and Xiao Yu lowered her head and explained that they were just living together.
"Qin Feng, remember what you promised me, if you dare..."
Before Grandma Jian Shu could finish what she said, she was shyly interrupted by Xiao Yu. She knew many things in her heart now and told Grandma Jian Shu not to think too much.
"Hey, bad luck."
Grandma Jian Shu sighed, said she was sleepy, and returned to her room.
Chujiu stretched out a finger to scratch his face and made a shy gesture, but Xiaoyu rolled his eyes angrily.
"Qin Feng, let's go out for a walk."
Xiaoyu held my arm again. Every time she woke up before, she would often walk around the village alone at night.
"This is the highest point of the stockade. You can see anywhere in the stockade."
Xiaoyu took me along the cobblestone road of the village to the highest stilted building.
This stilted building is similar to the conference hall in the village. Everyone will gather here only when large-scale events are held.
Usually this place becomes a place to stare at the scenery in a daze on light rainy nights.
"I don't know why I always think of you after I wake up. Subconsciously I think you are the most important person to me. Maybe this is fate. In fact, I have always understood what you mean."
Xiao Yu was sitting on the balcony of the stilted building. The breeze blew her hair to cover half of her face. Xiao Yu gently pushed her hair away.
Recalling the first time she met me, she felt that I was particularly innocent and cute. She remembered how shy I looked when I saw her.
Later, as she came into contact with me more and more, she could always detect some different emotions in my eyes.
When she told Chujiu and I that we were going to have dinner with our boyfriend, she completely understood the message in my eyes, and it turned out that I really liked her.
Later, the plot of Fang Liqun and his son was exposed, and my weight in Xiaoyu's heart began to grow.
It's just that Xiaoyu feels that she is three years older than me, and maybe I just have the best impression of her because I haven't met a more suitable person.
"After I sent the letter, I fell into a deep sleep again. When I woke up, I understood a lot."
Xiaoyu leaned on my shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.
She sat by the lake and looked at the intersection leading to the stockade every day.
If I show up one day, Xiaoyu decides not to hide her feelings.
She has to face this huge test with me. This is a heart-training ordeal for her and me. Only by overcoming this ordeal can we truly sublimate.
