Zhan Fei carried the firewood back to Zhiqing point. When he entered the room, he saw the four people from Zhiqing point talking. The people in the room were happily chatting and laughing.

He didn’t say anything. He went to his case and took out a Erguotou. Those who knew better seemed to be used to Zhan Fei doing this all day. They pretended they didn’t see him leave with his stuff.

Zhiqing’s location wasn’t far from the captain’s house. He arrived in five minutes.

Zhan Fei wasn’t too familiar with the captain, he only knew that the captain’s name was Wang Baozhu, and that it was useful in the village.

He entered the room and called out, “Is Captain Wang home?”

“Yes, who is it? “Let’s talk inside!”

As Zhan Fei finished speaking, he heard the voice of a 30-40 year old man. Zhan Fei knew that it was Captain Wang’s voice, so he took the bottle of wine and entered the room.

When he entered the room, he saw the captain on the kang smoking a cigarette.

Zhan Fei placed the wine on the table and said, “Uncle Wang, I saw Gao Yang today, and thought that her parents have passed away, so it’s not safe for her to live alone in the west end of the village. You also know that the five of us from Zhixiang’s residence are pretty crowded, so I remember that there are three rooms in her house.

Actually, when he said this, Zhan Fei was a bit apprehensive. One must know that now, although equality between men and women was promoted.

But in the countryside, especially here, there are many things people don’t get used to.

When Wang Baozhu heard Zhan Fei’s words, he stared at him for a long time before saying, “Zhan Fei, you’re a man. People in this village will gossip.”

Zhan Fei knew the captain didn’t trust him, so he said.

Uncle Wang, today is also the day that I saw Gao Yang go up the mountain by himself to chop firewood. When I thought about how our village had wild wolves in the winter, we said that she and I came from B City and that it was inconvenient for a girl like her to do anything. I was also afraid that she would be injured by wild wolves.

The captain felt that what Zhan Fei said made sense. He was also afraid that the girl was hurt by the wild.

He knew that Gao Yang lived in a house with no gate. It was at the western end of the village, so if there was anything that needed his attention, it would be troublesome.

Besides, he had been a captain for a long time, and he was quite adept at judging people. He knew the tempers of those people who knew better, and besides, they had been here for over a year.

When Gao Yang’s parents had passed away, he had also thought that Gao Yang would not be safe by himself.

However, thinking about the two girls, he didn’t open his mouth. Normally, he would tell Li Shan and his family to take more care of them.

He didn’t think that this junior would actually think of moving over to take care of Gao Yang. He thought about it and felt that it wasn’t a big deal. Besides, they were about the same age, so he had something to say.

He thought about it and felt that Zhan Fei’s idea wasn’t bad. It was likely that Zhan Fei didn’t like interacting with those few knowledgeable youths.

Previously, he knew that once the farmers were busy, he would start cutting down firewood by himself. He had prepared many young and old people, and today, he went up the mountain again. It was likely that the firewood had burned out.

Those youngsters knew too much, but even if he was the captain, he couldn’t say anything about it. Moving out was also not a bad idea. Even if he could take care of that girl Gao Yang, he should stay far away from them.

Therefore, he said, “I’ll go to that girl Gao Yang later to let her know that you’re also preparing. You can move her tomorrow. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep in peace.”

“Alright, Uncle Wang, I’ll go back and pack up. I’ll move there tomorrow. Uncle Wang, I’ll go back first. You’re busy!” With that, Zhan Fei left.

After he left, the captain looked at the wine on the table and was in quite a good mood. Although he wasn’t greedy for the wine, he still knew how to handle matters at the later stages of the competition.

But he couldn’t just think about the wine. He had to go to Gao Yang and tell the girl to get ready, so he put on his shoes and went out.

It was still cold outside, so he did not meet anyone in the village. It took him about ten minutes to get to Gao Yang’s house. When he reached the door, he called out: “Is Gao Yang home?”

Gao Yang was in the room when he heard a man in his thirties or forties speak. She was shocked, but she still quickly said, “At home, who is it?”

She did not dare say that she would let them in. She opened the door and came out. When she saw the person in the yard, she knew that it was the village captain. She hurriedly said, “Captain, it’s you. Come in quickly.”

Gao Yang quickly let the captain into the room. He had the captain sit down and pour him another bowl of water before she sat down on the side of the brick bed.

She knew that if nothing had happened, the captain wouldn’t have come to her place. Gao Yang thought for a moment, then said, “Captain, why have you come to my house?”

The captain saw Gao Yang welcoming him enthusiastically, then saw the three chests on the brick bed and the clean house. He felt that this girl was a diligent person.

So he said, “Gao Yang, today uncle came to tell you that tomorrow the village’s Zhiqing Zhan Fei will be living with you, and uncle knows that you’re in a difficult situation, but now in winter, you’re the only girl in the family. If there’s a wild type of disaster that hurts you, don’t worry, uncle will take care of you, and you’ll have to let him come over to take care of you.”

Hearing the captain’s words, Gao Yang felt awkward. It was too inconvenient for a man to come live with her.

Besides, she still had the secret of space. However, it wasn’t safe for her to be alone in winter, even though she had space. She didn’t need to worry about her safety.

But if there really was a wild entrance, even if she hid in space it would still be troublesome, she also knew that the captain was taking care of a girl like her.

If he refused, the captain would lose all face. From the looks of it, that man was not bad at all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let anyone live in his house.

“Uncle, I got it. I will pack up the storeroom in the west room and burn the brick bed as well. I didn’t stay in that room when my parents were sick, so I guess the house is getting damp. But uncle, when will Zhan Fei come over?”

When the captain saw Gao Yang’s nimble appearance, he knew that this girl knew of his feelings.

He smiled and said, “Alright, young lady. Zhan Fei will be coming over tomorrow morning. You pack up and I’ll be leaving first.”

After the captain had finished speaking, he got down from the brick bed and left. Seeing that the captain was about to leave, Gao Yang got up and prepared to send him off, and they walked out the door.

The captain said, “Lady, don’t send me off. Let’s go back!”

“Then take care!” Gao Yang saw the captain walk off into the distance before he returned to the house. Once she returned, she went to the west room to clean up.

Actually, the room wasn’t dirty, it was just that no one had lived on the kang for a long time. Gao Yang took out a towel and wiped the soil off of the kang mat.

What was this all about? When a man moved here, she still had to clean him up. She had to be happy, but she had to welcome him. If she really didn’t want to be together with him, then so be it.

She would definitely go on a rampage. Gao Yang packed up the brick bed, swept the floor with his hand, and set it on fire. No one had lived on it for more than a month.

Gao Yang had already heated up the brick bed, and was no longer in the mood to cook.

In the evening, she prepared to eat some fruits for a meal. Tonight, she still needed to go to space to gather food, so it would be even more inconvenient for her to do so.

She had to get the most recent food out, especially oil and flour, or under the same roof.

As long as the person who came was not a fool, then if she was outside that thing, then she would be courting death.

Gao Yang finished the fruit, took out a bottle of oil from the storage space, poured it into the oil, and took out another half a bag of white flour.

Then she took some millet and mung beans and put the white flour and the bags in the jar. She prepared to put the millet and the other things in her room.

He was probably too embarrassed to come to her room, so as long as she put it away, he probably wouldn’t know what she had.

After Gao Yang had finished packing up, he went into the space to collect the food. She estimated that it was already quite late and went out to sleep.

He still had to get up early tomorrow and wait for that Zhan Fei to move. It wouldn’t be good if he got up late.

Before dawn the next day, Gao Yang woke up early to wash his face and brush his teeth. After cleaning up, he went to prepare a bowl of noodles and ate them all.

When living by himself, Gao Yang didn’t want to cook anything troublesome, but rather wanted to cook something simple and nutritious.

Just as Gao Yang finished washing the dishes, he heard the captain talking in the yard.

“Gao Yang, have you eaten yet? I brought Zhan Fei here. If there’s anything you need help with, just ask him to do it a little more.

Gao Yang heard the captain’s voice coming from the courtyard. He saw him leading a man around 20 years old. Gao Yang saw that man pulling a cart of things.

She took a closer look at the man and realized he looked familiar. It was the person she had seen on the mountainside yesterday.

Gao Yang knew that this was what the captain meant by “Zhan Fei”. When Gao Yang saw this posture, he knew that Zhan Fei had pulled his stuff over.

“Uncle Wang, why did you come over so early? Go inside the house and rest.” Gao Yang said as he let the captain into the room.

The captain didn’t pretend, he saw Gao Yang calling out to him and walked into the house. As he left, he said, “Zhan brat, you pack your things and Gao Yang has already packed up. You can move your things in and we’ll bring your food over later.”

Gao Yang let the captain into the house, poured him a cup of water and said, “Uncle Wang, take a seat. I’ll go help Zhan Fei pack up his stuff so you can bring the food over. I’m sure Uncle Wang will be quite busy.”

After she finished speaking, she went out to help out. Gao Yang knew that the countryside people didn’t have to fake it. People who liked to be straightforward didn’t like being polite.

Gao Yang went out to see Zhan Fei taking out some clothes from the house. Without a word, he grabbed the washbasin and other small items from the car.

When Zhan Fei saw Gao Yang helping out, he knew that she didn’t have any objections to him moving here. He smiled and didn’t say anything more.

Gao Yang watched as Zhan Fei effortlessly lifted up the clothes box. Gao Yang felt his heart clench. Indeed, men and women were different.

She thought about how she didn’t even dare to fill the bucket to the brim and then looked at him. No matter how she looked at him, Gao Yang felt his heart clench.

However, thinking that she only had a water jar at home, she would probably be pretty if she didn’t have to carry any more water.

Besides, there would be people helping him chop wood in the future. In this way, with someone as his companion and a free worker, his days would be pretty good.

Although people were more feudal now, she had seen a lot in the past, so she treated them as visitors.

There wasn’t much in the car, just some groceries to cover their clothes. The two of them finished carrying everything in a moment.

Zhan Fei called for the captain after he was done moving his stuff. The few people who knew him well had slapped his face a lot yesterday when he said that he was going to move out.
