Chapter 269 This is Zhangjia Village

When the woman heard the word "cheap", she smiled brightly. Perhaps she realized that she was smiling too wildly, and her face turned red again. She said a little embarrassedly:

"Can you wait a moment while I go tell my father-in-law?"

"I'm afraid your father-in-law didn't tell you. Anyway, it's still early now, so we should be able to make it in time. Why don't we wait until it's getting dark and exchange here? Bring the pigs and pheasants as well, so I don't have to go to the mountains again."

After the two of them made an agreement, the woman turned around and hurried towards the mountain. She looked very happy. It was estimated that she would wait here for a long time.

After Zhang Xingwang watched the woman disappear into the forest, he took out the more than 700 kilograms of food and newly grown grapes that Brother Tong had given him in the past two days from his space, and also put in half of the brown sugar that he had exchanged from his Third Master.

There were still supplies purchased today, but after thinking about it, I decided to give them to the hunter and his family first. After all, it is not convenient for them to stay in the mountains. The old man can just bring them next time.

After waving at her stunned mother for a long time, Wang Xiulan hurried over again, staring at the four sacks of grain and more than 20 kilograms of grapes on the ground, and was stunned again...

After finally reacting, she was about to bend down to carry the sack in panic. Zhang Xingwang hurriedly stopped Wang Xiulan, who was both surprised and delighted, as he didn't intend to let her carry such a heavy sack.

I am no longer the weakling who followed my sisters-in-law last year. I picked up a bag of potatoes with both hands, pointed at the sack next to me and said with a relaxed look:

"Mom, I still have one hand free, let's carry this bag down together..."

Wang Xiulan was stunned three times in five minutes: ...

.........

The two of them worked hard in three trips to transport the things to the bicycle. When they tied it up and walked back, it was even more outrageous. Wang Xiulan looked around so much that it was obvious on her face that the thing on the bike was food.

Along the way, he kept pushing the goods back with his head down, as if they were robbed food, and kept urging Zhang Xingwang to speed up.

Zhang Xingwang looked at the overly nervous Wang Xiulan and sighed that his mother was indeed an honest person. It was probably because happiness came too frighteningly that she was confused. He said to Wang Xiulan who was panting:

"Mom, calm down. As long as you don't say anything, no one will ask questions even if they see it, and no one will open it to take a look. You can just find an excuse to deal with it when the time comes."

"What do you know? There's food in here. If they find out, we won't be able to explain it."

"What's there to be unclear about? We are not stealing from the canteen, so what are we afraid of? Don't forget, this is Zhangjia Village, not a courtyard house in the city..."

After hearing this, Wang Xiu Lan thought about it and realized that there was nothing wrong with it. This was Zhangjia Village, and the village chief called him sister-in-law. Five out of ten men in the village were not even five generations apart, and the remaining five could be considered relatives after just three sentences, since they all had the same ancestor after all.

As for the remaining few families with different surnames, um... it seems that most of them are relatives who have just left the fifth generation of kinship. There is really nothing to worry about. If they are seen, they will probably take the initiative to lend a hand...

Looking at Wang Xiulan who was obviously relaxed, Zhang Xingwang felt that he really shouldn't have asked Wang Xiulan to come over. If the person who came was a carefree older sister, she wouldn't care about these things.

The two of them pushed the cart back home. The old man looked at so much food, rubbed his eyes subconsciously, then opened his mouth wide without closing it, obviously failing to control his expression. Without saying a word, he started to help carry the food.

Without even having time to ask what was going on, the family followed the old lady's instructions with shining eyes and hid in a hidden cellar outside the kitchen, leaving over a hundred pounds in the kitchen.

As for the grapes and brown sugar, they were placed directly in the inner room. Before he had time to catch his breath, Zhang Xingwang felt that the atmosphere at home was a bit solemn. The old man was obviously absent-minded for some reason, and the fourth sister kept winking at the old man, making the old man's face darker.

The old lady also looked at the grandfather and grandson with a mocking look on her face, and said to the old man:

"What are you doing standing there, you old man with dim eyes? Seeing your sad face, someone who doesn't know you would think you brought back the food with great effort."

"That's impossible. I just have something I can't figure out."

"When you're done with your work, go to bed early. Forget it, you're not feeling well now, so just go to bed. You're old and confused, but you're still trying to figure things out like other people. Why are you pretending to be an intellectual in front of me?"

The old man opened his mouth for a long time after hearing this, not knowing how to respond. He turned to look at his granddaughter who was giving him a "Am I right?" expression, and sighed deeply, completely accepting the fact that he was uneducated and confused...

After they had rested for a while and were drinking water, the old lady looked at the self-pitying old man and said to Zhang Xingwang helplessly:

"Xingwang, this is something your grandfather should have said, but he is in poor health now, so let grandma say it.

The village is such a small place, it's inevitable that people will see you and your daughter delivering so much food. You don't know that the food in the village canteen has been terrible recently. I heard from some of your old sisters a few days ago that the porridge in the canteen is so delicious that you can use it as a mirror.

I guess we won’t make it to the harvest. You’ve moved so many people here, and we’re all from the same village, and we’re all related. Please give some to the canteen, otherwise it will be embarrassing, and I won’t be able to eat comfortably…”

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang felt that it was no big deal to share some food. He quickly turned around and looked at the old man. He thought the old man looked healthy with a ruddy complexion, so he asked curiously:

"Is Grandpa okay? He doesn't look ill."

"Your grandfather's main problem is his heart. He refuses to admit his age even at his old age. He doesn't want to believe that he is old and has become obsessed with trivial matters. Now he seems to be a little confused. He doesn't have any health problems, but he still spends a lot of food on food every day..."

After saying that, he pushed the old man who was immersed in his own world. After seeing the old man's questioning eyes after he came back to his senses, he said unhappily:

"I asked you to find a kid. Some of the food that your grandson brought should be distributed to the canteen."

After hearing this, the old man slapped his forehead, wondering how he had forgotten even the most basic etiquette of society. He thought that his illness was quite serious. How could his martial arts skills be so useless after only a few months? It was true that illness was like a mountain falling on him...

He shook his dizzy head and said to Zhang Xingwang:

"Xingwang, Grandpa will go find your uncle now and give him 50 kilograms when he comes. Even if the canteen runs out of food in the future, no one will gossip about it. If he gives you money, just take it, but pay the market price..."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xingwang and nodded in agreement, then he hurried out, as if he was afraid that he would forget it if he was late.

The fourth sister looked at the old man and felt anxious but helpless. She thought that the task of uncovering her brother's secret and saving the old man and the younger sister's three views had to rely on herself.

I felt a lot of pressure for a while, so I encouraged myself and started thinking hard...
