Chapter 13: Hit The Chest

Early the next morning, Uncle Wen went down the mountain, coughing all the way to Zhang Xing's house.

He just stepped into the courtyard door with his front foot, and bumped into the students who were sitting in the courtyard and drawing. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the students turned to look at him.

Zhang Xiuxiu is painting Teacher Li sitting under the eaves reading a book.

The man was wearing a black shirt, sitting there and reading the book carefully, with a gentle temperament and a style of his own.

Seeing grandpa coughing and entering Zhang's yard, Xiuxiu immediately put down the pen in her hand, got up and rushed over, grabbed the corner of grandpa's clothes, raised her head and asked him, "Grandpa, what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiuxiu had not seen her grandfather for several days, and now she saw her grandfather hunched over her waist and coughed, her eyes reddened with distress.

A little boy also rushed over, came to the grandfather, and stood still.

Uncle Wen reached out and touched the girl's head, and whispered, "Dear Xiuxiu, go to class with your brother, I'll talk to the village chief about something."

"Ok."

Zhang Xiuxiu was very obedient, she took her brother back to her seat and started the class.

During the whole process, Li Chuan just looked up and nodded politely at Uncle Wen.

...

When Uncle Wen entered the house, Zhang Xing was reading the genealogy and counting the men in the village.

Recently, the county has issued circular letters to all major villages, requiring the population of each household to apply for an ID card. Zhangjiagou and the nearby Lijia Village are blocked by traffic, and villagers rarely leave the village.

And only those young people who want to go out to work will have ID cards. And because the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, very few government workers will come to these remote mountain villages, so there are very few people in the village to apply for ID cards.

Go to the Tuling Town Police Station to apply for an ID card, and it takes four days. The journey is long, and few villagers are willing to travel for four days to get the documents.

As a result, the government implemented an incentive policy.

As long as the village chief successfully urges the villagers to apply for the certificates, a head can be rewarded with 50 yuan. Of course, those who apply for documents can also receive a 50-dollar incentive fee.

In order to get the reward money, Zhang Xing is counting the men who can come out of the village.

Uncle Wen came in from outside and called Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing raised his head, saw him, and said in surprise, "Yo, Uncle Wen, why did you go down the mountain? Who is guarding the temple?"

"Oh, Lin Wa went up the mountain to deliver food just now. I asked him to help me for a while. I came down to ask for leave." Uncle Wen said a word and coughed. Because he was too thin, every time he coughed, he always gave people a kind of bone. The illusion of falling apart.

Li Yunzhen came out of the kitchen and poured a bowl of tea water for each of them.

Uncle Wen coughed violently for a while, and then said, "Hey, I'm old, and my body is really useless. No, I slept on the mountain for a few days and caught a cold. Village chief, look, do you plan to go up the mountain again?"
