Chapter 278 Please go to bed when it's dark

Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because this place gives people a paradise."

Bai Shaofei nodded and said, "Did you ever think that Taohuawu gives people a paradise... it is because of its isolation? If it turns into a scenic spot with endless tourists all day long, is it still your favorite Taohuawu?"

When Village Chief Wu returned to the health center again, he saw Bai Shaofei and Song Jiang and his group chatting happily, so he walked in with a gloomy face and said, "Dinner is ready, you can come with me! Shaofei...you can follow us too."

Then Song Jiang and Fu Yinrong were taken to a private house. Several women in the village were busy working around a long wooden table. After they saw Song Jiang and his group, they immediately ran back to the house.

Village Chief Wu looked at Song Jiang and the others at this time and said, "The place in the house is too small, so there are so many people. The weather is still quite warm now. Everyone just sit outside the house and eat!"

Zhou Shiwuyi heard this and said with a smile, "Uncle Wu, you are so polite. We came over rashly, and we really disturbed us."

Village Chief Wu said, "The conditions in the village are limited. Just don't think the food is shabby, just sit down and eat."

Although the village chief Wu always looks like someone else owes him money when he speaks, it can be seen from the food he arranged at the table that the other party should be just cold and warm... And although the dining table is full of food from ordinary farmers, with the economic conditions of Taohuawu, this should be considered a kind of hospitality.

Song Jiang knew that there was no need to be polite when he got along with such a person, so he smiled and picked up a corn and said, "Then I'm not polite. To be honest, my stomach was already roaring when I was drinking tea."

When the others saw that Song Jiang had reached out, they stopped holding it. They all used their chopsticks to eat... Like the city people who usually eat too much seasoning, they suddenly enjoyed this unprocessed ingredients.

As Song Jiang was eating, he found that the women before were snatching the door and secretly looking at them strangers. So Song Jiang smiled and greeted them, "Come here to eat together!"

Unexpectedly, Village Chief Wu said coldly, "Everyone goes into the house! Don't be so unruly!"

After hearing this, the women didn't dare to stay for a long time. They all turned around and ran back into the room. Song Jiang looked embarrassed, wondering if he was saying something wrong.

When Bai Shaofei saw this, he quickly explained, "The rule in Taohuawu is that when guests come to your home, women have to open another table..."

"What time has it been? Why do you have such rules?!" A female colleague of Fu Yinrong murmured in a low voice.

When Fu Yinrong heard this, she quickly kicked the female colleague and told her not to talk nonsense... Although Song Jiang and the others also thought that this was a bad habit left in feudal society, they were visiting other people's homes after all, and they were treating you with delicious food and drink. You can't just find fault if you eat enough, right?!

After dinner, Village Chief Wu arranged for Bai Shaofei to take Song Jiang and others around the village while dawn, and said that he would go back to the house to sleep after dark... Don't walk around anymore.

On the way, Deng Kai did not forget the women hiding in the house for dinner, so he asked Bai Shaofei curiously, "Are they from Uncle Wu's family?"

Bai Shaofei nodded and said, "Well, they are my aunt, sister-in-law and two sisters..."

When Song Jiang heard Bai Shaofei mention his sister-in-law, but he didn't see his elder brother at the dinner table, he asked casually, "Where is your elder brother? Why didn't you see him come to have dinner together on the table just now?!"

Bai Shaofei said intently after hearing this, “My elder brother is the eldest son of my fourth uncle. He went out to explore ten years ago, but after that, he was missing and still has no idea of ​​life and death…”

"Ah...? Sorry." Song Jiang quickly apologized to him after hearing this.

Bai Shaofei waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, this is something that happened ten years ago after all... When I was working hard outside, I also asked about my brother's whereabouts from many sources, but unfortunately I never heard of him."

Fu Yinrong, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh, "Then it's really not easy for your sister-in-law..."

Bai Shaofei nodded and said, "Who said no? The fourth uncle once advised my sister-in-law to remarry someone else, but she refused to do anything and had to wait for my brother to come back."

At this time, everyone passed by a private house. A little boy was squatting on the ground playing with marbles. Fu Yinrong had originally thought of going over to tease him, but the child's mother ran out of the house when she saw them from afar, and then carried the child back into the house with a panic look on her face...

The child's mother's actions made everyone confused. Bai Shaofei smiled and explained, "Sorry, don't blame them... Since my elder brother disappeared and I came back from illness, they have regarded the outside world as a disaster and were afraid to avoid it. Everyone has thought about good days, but if they break the peaceful life in the past to live a good life, the price will be a bit too high."

Seeing that the mother's eyes were full of fear, Zhou Shiwu said helplessly, "With that being said, these children must read and read. Otherwise, when they really have to go out one day, wouldn't they know nothing and be completely out of touch with the outside world?"

"Don't worry about this. I have been teaching them cultural courses in recent years. The fastest-leaning children can already reach high school level. Even if I can't teach them again in a few years, there will be other children to teach them to read and write on my behalf..." Bai Shaofei said indifferently.

After walking around the village, the group did not find anything special. Except for the villagers who hid far away when they saw them, the others were no different from ordinary villages...

Unexpectedly, as he walked, Bai Shaofei suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "The sun is about to set, let's go back and rest!"

After hearing this, Fu Yinrong glanced at the sun that was just west and said, "It's still early. Do the villagers usually go to bed so early?"

Bai Shaofei nodded and said, "We don't have electricity here, so the villagers still adhere to the lifestyle habit of resting at sunrise and setting sun, and have never changed for decades..."

Although Song Jiang and the others don’t want to rest so early, this is their living habit after all, so they don’t change it as soon as they come. Besides, there is indeed no entertainment here. What can you do if you don’t sleep when it’s dark?!

Then the group followed Bai Shaofei back to the health center, where the beds were limited, and Deng Kai carried forward his selfless and humble spirit and gave them all to Fu Yinrong and her colleagues, so the five of them could only play the floor in an empty house.
