Chapter 370: Staying at the Widow Tian's House
After the two reached an agreement, they sat on the wooden bench, sipping the mountain tea unique to the village chief's family while chatting about family matters.
They talked about the crops in the fields, the changes in the village and interesting things in their families, and occasionally laughed heartily. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
At this moment, the voice of the village chief came from outside the house: "Comrade Xu, Comrade He, I have changed your things, come out and have a look." His voice was full of joy and pride.
When the two heard the village chief's call, they immediately put down their teacups and stood up. Xu Damao straightened his clothes, while He Yugang walked towards the door impatiently.
They pushed open the door, and the sunlight instantly filled the entire room, making it warm and comfortable.
The two walked into the yard and saw three large bags on the ground. The bags were bulging with stuff, and it was obvious that they had exchanged a lot of things this time. The village chief stood aside, looking at them with a smile, waiting for their reaction.
He Yugang walked forward impatiently, squatted down and opened the nearest bag. He carefully opened the bag and revealed the items inside.
It was filled with all kinds of dry goods, including mushrooms, fungus, peanuts, etc., all neatly arranged. He checked carefully and found that every item met his requirements without any problems.
After nodding with satisfaction, He Yugang sealed the bag again. He stood up and thanked the village chief: "Village chief, thank you so much! This time we exchanged a lot of things, and they are all of very good quality."
The village chief waved his hand, indicating that they were welcome: "Comrade Xu, Comrade He, I'm glad you like it. If you need any help in the future, just come to me."
Xu Damao also came forward, thanked the village chief, and exchanged a few words with him. Then, the two of them left the village chief's house carrying three large bags of dry goods.
After leaving the village head's house, Xu Damao weighed the heavy sack in his hand and felt that he had gained a lot this time. He put the sack on the crossbar of the bicycle and tied it firmly to ensure that it would not fall.
Then, he turned to He Yugang and said, "There are quite a lot of goods this time. It seems that we made the right decision to go to the countryside this time."
He Yugang also weighed the sacks in his car, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Yes, these dry goods are enough for the family to eat for a while. Moreover, I just checked them, and the quality must be no problem."
The two rode their bicycles along the country roads, enjoying the scenery along the way. Soon, they arrived at the door of Widow Tian's house. Xu Damao knocked gently on the door, and the knocking sound was particularly clear in the quiet afternoon.
"Who is it?" Widow Tian's voice came from inside the house. It was obvious that she was a little surprised that there was a visitor at this time.
Xu Damao lowered his voice and responded, "It's me, Xu Damao. We came to see you for something." He tried to keep his voice calm, but he was a little nervous inside. After all, this was the first time they came here so late, and they were afraid of being seen.
Widow Tian pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why are you here so late?" There was a hint of doubt and curiosity in her words, and her eyes flashed with inquiry.
Although Xu Damao mentioned that he would find an opportunity to visit again when he left last time, she did not expect them to show up again so soon.
He Yugang pointed at the sack on the bicycle and explained with a smile: "We are here to exchange some dry goods and stay at your house for one night." His words revealed a kind and easy-going attitude that made people feel very comfortable.
When the widow heard this, she smiled in surprise and quickly stepped aside to let the two of them enter the yard. There were some farm tools and grains drying in the yard, giving off a strong rural atmosphere.
He Yugang helped Xu Damao to walk in, and Widow Tian followed closely behind and gently closed the door. The furnishings in the house were simple and tidy, exuding a warm atmosphere.
Xu Damao smiled as he carefully took out two packages of beautifully packaged pastries from his bag and handed them to Widow Tian, with a sincere smile on his face:
"Mrs. Tian, we bought this especially for you. See if you like it. This little gift is our accommodation fee for tonight. I hope you can accept it."
Widow Tian looked at the two packages of exquisite pastries in her hands, with a flash of surprise and joy in her eyes. She knew that this kind of pastries were in great demand in the city, and she could only watch from afar every time she went into the city. She didn't expect to receive such a gift today.
She quickly replied, "That's enough, you're too polite. Sit down and rest for a while, I'll get you something to eat." Then she turned and walked quickly to the kitchen.
Seeing this, He Yugang and Xu Damao quickly pushed their bicycles aside and parked them, and then put the dry goods they brought next to the bicycles. They did not go into the main room, but chose to stand in the yard and continue chatting.
