Chapter 37 Arriving at Gujiacun

After a while, the store brought out four bowls of noodles.

The three parents grabbed their chopsticks and eagerly put them into their mouths, ignoring the fact that the noodles were hot and scalding their mouths.

They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had eaten fragrant and hot noodle soup. They were snoring, sweating profusely, and their faces were red.

Shen Xiaoyu fed the little sister half a bowl and she was full, so full that she hiccupped. She handed the remaining half bowl to the stupid father, as he was afraid that one bowl would not be enough.

"Dad, you can eat it."

"But the fishing girl didn't eat." Shen Youfu was still unsatisfied after eating only one bowl of noodles. He licked his lips and stared at the half bowl of noodles.

"You eat, I still have sweet potatoes!" Shen Xiaoyu knew that he wanted to eat, so she gave it to him. Anyway, she had a refrigerator, so she didn't have to worry about food at all.

Shen Youfu moved half a bowl of noodles over and ate happily.

Shen Xiaoli and Shen Xiaotao also finished eating, their mouths were red and oily, but they both patted their round bellies with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Shen Xiaoyu took out some silver coins from his pocket, called the store to pay, and asked him if there was any other way to go to Gujia Village besides walking.

"You can buy a carriage for about two hundred cents, or you can go to the market in front. Usually there are donkey carts and ox carts going back to the village. For a dozen cents, you can take them along a way." The store owner said every day They all saw refugees from other counties. Many refugees came to visit during this period. Shen Xiaoyu was not the first to ask him about these issues.

After Shen Xiaoyu thanked him, he led his family to the market.

While looking for the donkey and ox carts that would pass through Gujia Village, she continued to learn about prices and buy some daily necessities.

It's almost midnight, the market's morning market is about to end, there are not many people, and many stalls are starting to close their stalls.

Shen Xiaoyu asked several villagers pulling carts before finding an old man pulling a donkey cart who was going to Gujia Village.

After agreeing on the price, they got on the donkey cart.

As we walked towards Gujia Village, we saw many fields and houses intermittently, and some livestock walking slowly on the ridges of the fields.

Shen Xiaoyu didn't sleep well early in the morning and fell asleep while sitting in the car.

"Second sister, we're here!" After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xiaoyu heard Xiaoli calling her in her ear.

Shen Xiaoyu suddenly woke up and subconsciously hugged the baggage on his chest tightly.

The donkey cart stopped at the entrance of Gujia Village, and the driver asked them to get off.Shen Xiaoyu jumped out of the car first, paid, and asked the driver where the village chief's home was.

"It's over there, that adobe house, do you see it?" The driver pointed to the big banyan tree not far away.

Shen Xiaoyu followed his direction and looked over. There was a house about 100 meters away, with a yellow native dog lying at the door.

Shen Xiaoyu carried his luggage and walked to the village chief's house.

When the loess dog saw strangers approaching, he immediately stood up and barked at them.

The father and sister hid behind Shen Xiaoyu.

At this time, someone from the house came out and opened the door.

"Who is outside?" A fat woman came out with narrowed eyes and a bamboo fan.

"Hello, aunt, we are looking for the village chief to settle down."

The fat woman looked them up and down and asked, "Where did they come from?"

"Yazhou."

"Come in first."

The fat woman waved with her bamboo fan, turned around and led them towards the courtyard.

The loess dog followed behind, wagging its tail.

Shen Xiaoyu and the others were running all the way on a hot day. Their faces were all red from the sun and they were covered in sweat. After entering the house, it was a little cooler, but they all stood together in a reserved manner.

"Lao Gu! The person looking for you is from Yazhou."

"Here we come!" A man in his 50s with half-thick hair came out of the backyard, holding a gray rag and wiping his wet hands.

He is Gu Dafu, the head of Gujia Village, who is notoriously afraid of his wife.
