Chapter 415 Aunt and Uncle Take Charge (1)
When Ji Xiaowu returned to the village, the village chief came to see her.
"Nearby villages have come to me to register. Twenty-eight villages have already registered, and some people have asked others to sign up for them." The village chief said with a smile, a little excited.
"Please pay attention to this matter. If you need anything, please feel free to come to me. Also, it is not advisable to ask someone else to register because the information cannot be verified. The village chief must lead the registration and he must know the details." Aunt Ji said to the village chief.
The village chief nodded and said, "You are the one with the best ideas. I hadn't thought of these."
"Thank you for your concern." Ji Xiaowu thanked the village chief, "I don't know the people around here very well, but you are familiar with this area. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"What are you talking about, girl? It's just a small matter, what's the hard part?" The village chief laughed. His prestige has increased a lot during this period. Those village chiefs who looked down on him in the past are now begging him. He feels proud of himself.
Besides, he didn't need to work hard. He just needed to help with registration and introduce the current situation of the village and how to grow potatoes to the village chiefs who came. These were all easy jobs and didn't tire him at all.
"Seeing that the villagers are living a good life makes me happier than anything else," said the village chief with a smile.
Ji Xiaowu nodded. "Now no one will go hungry. After the sweet potatoes are harvested, we will be able to achieve self-sufficiency."
"Girl, are they really going to fight?" The village chief glanced at Ji Xiaou and asked in a low voice.
"It would be best if there is no fighting, but once a fighting breaks out, it will be a disaster for us if we don't take proper measures." Ji Xiaomu didn't say much, but just gave a brief account of the current situation. After listening, the village chief fell into deep thought.
"You're right. It's always better to take precautions." The village chief stood up suddenly. "Girl, you have to find another place to store some more food. Just tell me which piece of land you want."
"Thank you, village chief." This was what Ji Xiaowu meant. The village chief waved his hand and left.
After the village chief left, Aunt Ji came to Uncle Li's house opposite. Uncle and Aunt Li happened to be there. When they saw Aunt Ji coming, they happily came to greet her.
"Girl, how come you have time to come here today?" Aunt Li said happily, pulling Ji Xiao'er up and down to look her up and down, "You look so tired these days, you've lost weight."
"Mom, I'm not thin at all, I'm fat." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile. There is always a kind of thinness that your mother thinks you are thin.
"Girl, is there something wrong?" Uncle Li asked Ji Xiaomu.
"If you have something to say, just tell me directly. Your uncle and I happen to be free and have nothing to do. Hu Wa has gone to town with Xiu'er and Hao'er." Aunt Li also said.
"Why didn't you go? Brother and sister-in-law must have treated you to a good time," asked Aunt Ji.
Aunt Li and Uncle Li shook their heads. "We are old and nostalgic. We have lived here for decades. We are unfamiliar with the town and we are not used to living there. It is more comfortable here. We can still quarrel with Aunt Wang when we have nothing to do."
"Mom, what you said doesn't mean that big brother is in a hurry?" Ji Xiaomu said with a smile.
"Why is he in such a hurry? He just needs to run the pastry shop for you in the town and take good care of his wife and children. Your father and I can still work now, and when we can't work anymore, we can let them take care of us in our old age." Aunt Li said with a smile.
"If you dare to tell your father to give it a try, I will immediately get the axe and hold it up for you to see." Uncle Li said proudly. Everything was going well at home, his son had his own business, and he was in good spirits and better health.
