Chapter 71
"Later, I asked the people in the army to kill a few, and the rest were also caught. One or two escaped." The aunt wiped her tears: "What a bunch of beasts, as long as you meet someone, you just give him something They also want to kill you. Later, the people in the army said that this group of people came all the way from the provincial capital."

I was really scared after hearing this, there are guns...

No matter how good the skill is, no one can resist it.

They comforted me for a long time, and the auntie said again: "Now the government is still in charge. There are still a few people in my family who can still live. You can live in the village. It is much safer than here."

After leaving, Wang Qin said in the car: "She probably still has a granddaughter, so I don't know if her daughter-in-law is here. If the man is dead, I'm afraid I have to leave."

"Not necessarily, she is not a local in this world." Zhou Ning shook his head.

The daughter-in-law of this family is from out of town. In this case, she may not be able to leave.

"It's true, hey."

A group of people went to the county center, stopped at Cross Street, and saw that there were not many street stalls on both sides.

Some sell seasonings, some sell clothes, and some sell tools.

They didn't have anything missing for the time being, but they went over to take a look.

Looking at it, I saw a stall with books on display, all famous works and the like.

It can be seen that the conservation is very good, and many masterpieces are relatively precious editions.

It used to be very expensive.

There are also some books that are not available in the market.

There are an old man and a young man who set up the stall. The old man is about 60 years old. He is cleanly dressed and can be seen as a cultural person.

The youngest is a little girl, probably seven or eight years old, she looks skinny, but her skin is fair, and she doesn't look like a naughty girl.

"Do you want to buy books?" the old man asked.

It can be seen that he is not very good at these.

"Are these going to be released?" Liu Ya asked.

"Hey..." The old man sighed, "I don't want to part with it, but it's important to eat. We are the only ones left at home, the old and the young."

"It sounds like you don't look like a local?" Xiao Chen asked suddenly.

He speaks standard Mandarin, and the old man was stunned when he heard it: "Ah, it's almost as good as not being a local, and the household registration is also there. I have been here for 40 years. Hey..."

"These books... what are you going to exchange for?" Money is definitely useless, it's useless.

"You want it?" The old man became excited.

"Yes. Both." Liu Ya smiled.

The old man saw that Liu Ya and his group were of normal weight, in good spirits, and well dressed.

Obviously, he didn't suffer, so he naturally had extra things to exchange for books. You must know that books are worthless now.No food, who has time to read?
"To tell you the truth, I have no other skills, and I have nothing valuable at home. It's just these books. Now it's just me and my father living, you see, we can live for a few months at least." The old man said.

"This is possible, but... what will you do in the future? You are not young anymore, your granddaughter is still young, even if you survive two months?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Brother, what do you think?" The old man was smart.

"That's right, we are from Changxing Village. I wonder if you have heard of it?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Oh, I heard, it's from the bottom of the mountain." The old man nodded.

"That's right. There are some children in our village, but now there is no school. But the children can't be blind. With your knowledge, teaching Chinese and mathematics is not a problem, right?"

The old man became excited: "Oh! How many years have I been a teacher! I used to teach middle school!"

"That's just right. I think you are reluctant to sell these books. Why don't you go back first and give us an address, and we will go back and discuss with the villagers. If possible, we will come to pick you up. If not, we will buy your books again. It's just that The village is not rich, so you may not be treated well if you go there, at most you will have enough to eat." Xiao Chen said.

"Brother, if I can eat enough, I don't ask for anything. As long as my granddaughter can live." The old man said excitedly.

"Well, you write us an address, we have to go and see something else."

The old man hurriedly took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote the address and handed it over: "Don't worry, I'm sure I can teach the children!"

"Okay." Xiao Chen nodded.

After walking away, Wang Qin asked, "Can the village agree to this matter?"

"Should agree, there are many children, so is it possible that they will not go to school in the future? People's thinking is still different nowadays." Liu Ya said.

"It's true. If there is a seven or eight-year-old or ten-year-old in our family, he will probably be called to study." Wang Qin said.

Everyone walked around again, changed a lot of seasonings with a barrel of salad oil, and went home satisfied.

The brunch when I came back can also be eaten. After talking about Mr. Zhang, Zhou Zhigao said that he would go to the village chief in the afternoon.

The village chief had no objection after hearing this. There were no children in his family, but there were several relatives.

There are indeed many carrot heads in the village.

Later, when I told the villagers, most of them agreed. When they heard that it was an old man with a little girl, everyone was not on guard.

He also said that it is enough for these two people to eat and drink, so what else, how much food can the lonely old man and the little girl eat?
There was already a school in the village, but there were only primary schools and few children.

Most of those who disagree are those who have no children at home, but the minority obeys the majority, and it is okay to disagree.

Everything is the same, and it is impossible for everyone to agree.

The main reason is that there is no need for the village to provide food for the elderly and children at the moment, but only part of it can be withheld when the troops come to deliver supplies.

Another point is that although the old man is old, he is a cultural person, and the village still needs it.

That's why the village head nodded without hesitation.

In the evening, Xiao Chen trimmed his nails and said with a smile, "Although our village head hasn't read much, he is a visionary."

Liu Ya nodded: "I was not at home before, so I didn't pay much attention, indeed. The village chief has a long-term vision."

"Hey, if you don't have the skills, how can you be so convincing? You two are convincing, how can the villagers not be convinced?" Ma Fen laughed.

"We are not very good." Xiao Chen said modestly.

"You two are still amazing, just do it like this, do whatever you want, you don't have to worry about living in the field, no, it's all planted. It depends on God whether it will grow or not." Zhou Zhigao smiled while drinking water .

What is the future of guarding those few acres of land? Even if the world is in chaos, those who are capable will have a way out.

In his eyes, daughters and sons-in-law are capable people.

"By the way, our chickens have hatched eleven." Zhou Jing said.

"Why are there only eleven eggs?" Liu Ya said, "Not fifteen eggs?"

"After all, it's so cold, it's not well preserved. There are three dead eggs in one nest. One in each nest." Ma Fen said.

It's not that the pullets haven't hatched well, and a family can press a dozen or so, it's that there's something wrong with the eggs.So it didn't hatch.

"Eleven is not bad, but 37, let's kill and hatch one after another," Liu Ya said.
