Chapter 92: Rewards...Simple Folk Customs
"Why are you alone today? Isn't your younger brother coming?" In the field, Aunt Yu asked loudly.
"He's not coming." Xu Hengzhou stood up straight, smiled, and thanked Aunt Yu, "Thank you so much, Aunt. Chen Chen told me that Hei Wa and Hua Nier are taking good care of him. He even asked me to thank you."
"Hey, you city kids are just too polite." Aunt Yu swung her hoe forcefully without stopping her hands or mouth, "Today, Hua Nier even told me that Chen Chen invited them to eat something, what was it? Cookies?! City snacks are expensive, but my two kids have greedy mouths. If someone gives them some, they'll eat it, and it annoys me..."
"Aunt, don't scold them." Xu Hengzhou hurriedly said, "Kids playing together and sharing some snacks is nothing. Chen Chen told me that Hei Wa even gave him his fruits. Shouldn't I scold him too?"
Aunt Yu was dissatisfied, "It's not the same."
"There's no difference." Xu Hengzhou laughed, "It's all the children's goodwill. You shouldn't scold them when you go back."
"You speak like a cultured person." Aunt Yu also laughed and, after laughing, brought up the main topic, "The person you asked me to find, I've arranged it for you. Take a look when you have time. I'll have them come to your place or take you to meet them. Clarify what you need. Take advantage of the current farming slack, and we can get it for you soon so that you and your brother can have a better winter."
Xu Hengzhou was delighted to hear this. Aunt Yu's efficiency in handling matters was indeed excellent. He immediately said, "A few days ago, the village head found someone to help me repair the house. Tonight, I'm going to thank everyone with the village head. Is it okay tomorrow? Whether they come to me or I go to them is fine. See what's convenient for them."
He and Chen Youshan would be seen by others when they went to someone's house tonight. Instead of letting the villagers guess blindly, it would be better to tell Aunt Yu and let her spread the word.
"Alright, I'll go ask those two families and give you a reply later," Aunt Yu said.
In the village, Xiang Chen followed the small paths, searching for dried branches that hadn't been picked up. Collecting firewood in the village was much more challenging than on the mountain. Under a tree, he might not find a single branch, unlike on the mountain, where he could easily pick up half a basket with just a glance. After half a day, his small basket on his back was only partially filled.
"Xiang Chen!"
Suddenly hearing someone call his name, Xiang Chen looked in the direction of the voice. It turned out to be Shi Tou, standing at the entrance of a small courtyard.
Xiang Chen ran over with a smile, "Shi Tou, is this your home?"
Shi Tou nodded and asked, "Did you come to play with me?"
"I came to pick up firewood." Xiang Chen showed him the small basket on his back, "My brother doesn't allow me to go to the mountain alone, so I came to the village to pick some."
"What can you pick up in the village?" Shi Tou scoffed, pulling Xiang Chen along, "Come in."
Xiang Chen followed him into the courtyard, which wasn't small, but it was piled full. There were two stacks of firewood, and Xiang Chen looked at them with envy.
