The next day.
Jiang Zefeng was cooking in the kitchen when he heard someone calling him outside. He went out and saw it was Chen Qianhu. Chen Qianhu was carrying a big bag of things and was peeking into his house but didn't go in.
He rolled up his sleeves, exposing his arms, and looked like he was working.
Jiang Zefeng: "Why are you here?"
"Jiang Er, where is your brother?" he asked.
Jiang Zefeng said, "Let's go."
"Ah? Just left?" he asked, and then he seemed to be relieved, his tight lips relaxed, "My mother asked me to bring something for your brother to eat on the way, but I didn't expect that he would leave."
He clearly looked quite happy, but he acted like a plague god.
Jiang Zefeng put one hand on the door frame and said in a subtle tone: "My brother is gone, you are so happy."
"No way." Chen Qianhu always felt that Jiang Zefeng didn't become a better person after he fell into the water that day, but was resurrected like in the storybooks.
That afternoon, the news of Gu Yinzhou's departure spread. In the days after he left, many people came to ask what business Gu Yinzhou was doing. Jiang Zefeng made up a story and said he was going to sell something.
The house has been crowded with people these two days.
After Gu Yinzhou left, Jiang Zefeng did not feel too uncomfortable at first. He worked from sunrise to sunset, followed the routine, and followed the trajectory of life in the village. From time to time, he would pull the system out to chat and gossip.
I don't miss it too much.
It seemed that the memories of that first night had evaporated.
Seven days later, a man from another village came to the village. He and the village chief rented a small shabby house at the entrance of the village and lived there. That day, he used a hammer and wood to repair the shabby house.
"That boy looks good."
"I heard he went to seek refuge with his relatives, but when he got there he found they were gone. Now he's trying to save up money to go back!"
"The boy is quite capable."
The news that someone had come to the village spread in less than half a day. Jiang Zefeng also heard about it. His home was not close to the village head, and he would not be able to see him unless he went there on purpose. He only took a look from a distance and saw a black figure squatting on the roof.
Two nights later, he saw the man up close.
The infectious diseases in the village were basically cured. After the village chief took a piece of meat to visit the hero Jiang Zefeng to express his condolences, the village held a lively banquet. Every household contributed some money and gathered together to have a meal.
In the evening of that day, everyone gathered together and had a great time. Just as Gu Yinzhou had worried, someone wanted to propose marriage to Jiang Zefeng, but this time the person who would sneer was not by his side.
The village chief specially introduced the newcomers to everyone.
"We are all from the same village, so please take good care of this young man in the future. Come, have a drink!" The village chief patted the man next to him on the shoulder and raised his glass.
