Changshui Village.
Si Yu went to the town and returned fully loaded. Changshui Village has always been self-sufficient, mostly eating noodles in their daily meals. However, no one would complain about having too much grain, so Si Yu consulted with the village chief and bought some coarse grains and rice.
Although the North primarily consumes noodles, it doesnāt mean they donāt eat rice.
Before a vehicle arrives to pick them up, they still need to eat and drink in Changshui Village. Moreover, the people Zhao Xiangqian brought also need to eat.
"Brother Meng, why did you buy so much rice and coarse grain?" Mr. Miao looked at the truckload of rice and coarse grain, not only rice but also flour.
Besides these, they also bought a few sheep and a big fat pig.
"We have a lot of people and may disturb the village for a while." Si Yu said with a smile, expressing endless gratitude to the villagers and Mr. Miao, as if Mr. Miao hadnāt saved Tang Jun, Tang Jun, soaking in water without being discovered, might have been either dead by falling or drowning, or frozen to death.
Thereās no rush to repay a lifesaver at this moment.
"Arenāt there just the three of you?" Mr. Miao was a bit surprised.
Si Yu explained that in addition to the three of them, Zhao Xiangqian also brought over thirty people, so food couldnāt be compromised.
Especially in recent days, those thirty people had been working hard searching for Tang Jun, and now that they have found him, itās only natural to reward those people well.
"Mr. Miao, could we ask the villagers to help slaughter the pig and the sheep?" Si Yu looked a bit embarrassed as he suggested to Mr. Miao: "They traveled from the mountain road from that side, expected to arrive around eight or nine in the evening. I need to go with a few people from the village to meet them. As for cooking, I..." He felt capable yet powerless.
"Donāt worry, even if you didnāt buy all this grain and food, we could certainly feed everyone with the strength of the entire village."
Mr. Miao said with a cheerful smile. He found the village chief and explained that Si Yu was going to meet the incoming people. The chief immediately took four or five able-bodied young men to accompany Si Yu while telling the village butcher to slaughter the pig and sheep for a delicious evening meal.
Meng Sishou specifically instructed the butcher to definitely slaughter one pig and two sheep, and he asked the villagers to save their appetites for a bonfire party in the evening.
The pig was a big fat one, but with the three dozens of them and about ten households in the village, there were over a hundred people in total. One big fat pig wouldnāt be enough for everyone.
Si Yu told Tang Jun and Yuan Yu to rest well there and then took the villagers to meet Zhao Xiangqian.
In the village, to provide accommodation for these people, they specially cleaned up the largest place in the village, the Miao Family Mansion. The Miao Family was located in the flattest area of the village, and later they could have dinner there. Although there were thirty more people, they would manage to sleep by squeezing a few long beds together.
For dinner, everyone decided to wait for the return of the village chief, Si Yu, and the others to eat together, while the villagers casually ate something simple.
Fat Aunt made chicken soup for nourishing Yuan Yu and Tang Jun. In the chicken soup, Mr. Miao added some herbs, making it nutritious for both Tang Jun and Yuan Yu.
At nine oāclock in the evening.
The village chief and Si Yu brought back over thirty people. From afar, they could smell the fragrant aroma of food. As they followed the aroma, they came upon a spacious flat area with tables set up. Next to it was a steaming bonfire, the aroma of the meat on the table made Zhao Xiangqian and others swallow their saliva.
"Xiao Jun."
That night, Yuan Yu had a sweet dream, dreaming that Tang Junās eyes recovered, and she gave birth to a sweet little girl, who circled around calling her mom, and Tang Jun dad.
Tang Jun held the little girl, beaming with joy.
Even when she woke up, Yuan Yu still had a smile on her lips.
Bringing herself back to reality, Yuan Yu looked at the simple room, remembering Tang Junās eyes werenāt healed yet, and felt a sense of emptiness.
Thinking that she may never have children in her life made her feel even more down.
Zhao Xiangqian led everyone back to the office. Si Yu also had affairs to attend to and couldnāt stay any longer; he returned to Jing City first.
Originally, someone was to stay with them, but Tang Jun said, "Iām just blind, not incapable, right? Besides, this village is very simple and doesnāt need anyone to take care of me."
"Brother-in-law, just have Cai Yufei come to pick me up when the time comes." Tang Jun said, not wanting anyone to stay to waste time with him.
Si Yu glanced at Yuan Yu, who immediately said, "Brother Meng, Iāll take good care of Tang Jun."
"Alright then, you two rest well here, in a couple of days there will be a special vehicle to pick you up." Si Yu didnāt insist on taking them away forcefully. Tang Jun still had injuries, and Yuan Yuās health hadnāt fully recovered. Additionally, leaving through the mountain roads, it was better for Tang Jun and Yuan Yu to recuperate here before leaving.
Si Yu was eager to return to Jing City, having not seen Zaozao and Chenchen for several days. Not finding Tang Jun, Si Yu hadnāt even dared to contact Tang Yue.
