Make a fortune by farming in another world

Chapter 60

Jinchuan and Aunt Chen came back from the town. As soon as they entered the village, they heard someone shouting that a thief had been caught in their house.

He exchanged glances with Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen, and then tacitly quickened their pace.

Among the people who came back with them, someone hurriedly said, "Go back quickly and see if anything is missing."

There was also someone who was slow to react and asked, "Didn't Yu Zhou and the others go to do something else?"

But as soon as he said this, he was glared back by the people he was with.

When Jinchuan and the three members of the Chen family were about to reach the door of their house, they saw an orange-yellow fire in their yard, which was very obvious in the dark, but it didn't look like an accidental fire.

Aunt Chen is old, and her night vision is worse than that of young people. After squinting for a while, she asked, "What's the matter with that light?"

Jinchuan knew without thinking that the fire must have been caused by her husband, so she smiled and said, "They must have nothing to do at home, so they did something fun. We'll know when we get back."

Aunt Chen saw that he was relaxed, but she still felt uneasy. She pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go faster."

As a result, the four of them walked to the gate of the yard and opened the door. They saw a blazing bonfire in the empty yard. Yu Zhou and the father and son of the Chen family each sat around the fire with a chair. There was also a bench next to the chairs with three small wine glasses on it.

Except for Jinchuan, the three people in the Chen family were stunned. After a while, Aunt Chen said in a daze, "Didn't the villagers say that you caught the thief? Why... are you drinking?"

"The village head and his men have taken the thieves to the ancestral hall and locked them up," Uncle Chen stood up quickly and helped Aunt Chen to sit down at his original position. "We've been waiting for a long time, but you didn't come back, so we brought out a pot of wine to drink while waiting."

Yu Zhou and Chen Feng went to move a few more chairs around the fire.

After Jinchuan put down the things he bought at the Lantern Festival, he sat down next to Yu Zhou.

While he was sitting down, Yu Zhou, under the cover of his sleeves, gently pinched Jinchuan's hand, "Isn't it cold on the road?"

Jinchuan suddenly retracted his hand and shook his head, saying, "I've been walking all the time, so I'm not cold."

The Chen family was all there, and everyone sat in a circle. Although their little action just now was secretive, it couldn't escape the eyes of Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen.

Although they didn't say anything, Jinchuan still turned his eyes away uncomfortably. After aimlessly sweeping around the yard, his eyes finally fell on the empty bamboo pole under the eaves for a moment, and then he looked back at Yu Zhou, "Are those sweet potatoes in this fire?"

Yu Zhou heard this and made an expression of "my husband is really smart". Then he used a stick to dig out a few soft roasted sweet potatoes from the ashes, pressed them one by one with his fingers, and confirmed that they were all cooked. Then he rolled a few of them over from the ground to the Chen family members on the other side.

He explained: "I have smeared the seeds of the itch grass on these sweet potatoes. If you don't deal with them quickly, it will be a big trouble if they are mixed with other ones."

When Xiaojuan heard this, her hand that was originally stretched out to take the sweet potato shrank, and then she sat upright, pretending that nothing had happened and the roasted sweet potatoes at her feet did not exist.
