After washing and eating, I found that my father Wang Gousheng and my second brother Wang Gangdan were not there. Needless to say, they must have gone hunting.

The whole village is out in groups, so with so many people there is no need to worry too much about safety.

Wang Tiedan was slurping millet porridge when the village chief Wang Dexing walked in with his hands behind his back.

"Tiedan, are you eating?"

"Uncle, please sit down and eat together." Wang Tiedan immediately stood up and lit a cigarette.

Wang Dexing took the cigarette and said with a smile, "No, I came here after eating. This time I came here to ask you about what you said last night."

"Last night? Fourth uncle, I was drunk yesterday. What happened?" Wang Tiedan laughed. He really couldn't remember.

"Several things. The first one is the delivery of prey at the end of the year. As you can see, the mountains are closed due to heavy snow. I guess we can only go hunting once before the New Year."

"Okay, it's best to wait until the 28th or 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Give me a call and I'll have the steel mill drive over. If you need anything, I'll have the mill purchase it and bring it over so you don't have to make another trip."

"That's great, haha. The second thing is, what do you plan to do with letting the elderly in the village live in the city?"

Wang Tiedan certainly couldn't tell the truth, because he wasn't the one raising the birds, but the other birds in the yard were helping to raise them.

"I don't have any plans. I still have a small house in my yard. It's empty anyway. I might as well let the elderly in our village live there. There are quite a few elderly people in our village. They can go there to recuperate. I'm alone in that yard. Sometimes there's no one to help and talk to. I don't feel at ease living there."

"Were you bullied in the yard?" the village chief said immediately.

"No, absolutely not."

Wang Tiedan hurriedly explained that he really didn't.

The village chief understood what was going on and stood up immediately.

"Okay, I know what's going on. It's okay for you to live there. Life in the village is indeed a bit hard. I know Second Aunt is in good health there, and it's a good opportunity for the elderly in our village to go there and enjoy a peaceful life. Your filial piety will be remembered by our village.

However, let me make it clear first, the food will still be provided by the village, so as not to embarrass you."

"No, no, I don't need any food." Wang Tiedan said with a smile.

"I can't take advantage of you even if I don't need it. That's it."

After Wang Dexing finished speaking, he walked out directly. He had to think carefully about who to let through.

Hu Yulan didn't send him off either. She pulled Wang Tiedan aside and asked, "Tiedan, is there really someone bullying you in your yard?"

"No, I really didn't, Mom. If you don't believe me, go ask Monkey and Dahan later."

Hu Yulan obviously questioned Wang Tiedan's explanation, so it seemed necessary to have a good discussion with Wang Gousheng.

Wang Tiedan didn't care, but the circle of elderly people in the village was in an uproar.

How can we accept that the best young man in our village is bullied in the city? Grandma!

The village chief's house.

A dozen old men were sitting around a brick bed, on which leaned an old man who looked very old. He was the grandfather of the village chief, the previous village chief and the most senior person in Dawang Village.

The old man took a puff of his pipe, knocked on the bedside, and said, "Since we are going to support him, those who are too old can forget about it, and those who are in poor health can't either. But let's make a deal, no matter who goes, they must support Tiedan's business, otherwise the villagers will stab him in the back!"

"Uncle Qi is right. I think we should not only hold up the scene, but also show our power and let them know that the people in our Dawang Village are not easy to bully." Another old man with white hair and beard took over the conversation.

"That's right. They were willing to bully such a good young man, such a filial child. They are so cruel. Whoever goes there will not be let off easily. Otherwise, they will be hanged on the beams of their house and they will be annoyed for the rest of their lives."

When a dozen old men heard this, no one objected. To be able to live to this age, everyone knew that it was just an angry remark. If he could really support the younger generations, then it wouldn't matter if he died.

"Uncle Qi, I think we should go over and ask around first. The child is in such a difficult situation. I think he was probably bullied by the elders in the courtyard. He is too embarrassed to say anything. It's a good opportunity to send someone over to ask while we deliver the prey. It's a good opportunity to visit my second sister-in-law. She must know something."

"What Shuanzhu said makes sense. I've heard from Gousheng before that there's an old deaf man in Tiedan's courtyard. There's an old lady, the eldest one, and there's also some old man who's in charge, but they're not good people.

If this old deaf man is causing trouble, we can let Sister Chunhua go, or Aunt Pang will do the same."

"Yeah, that's right."

At this time, many old ladies gathered in the outer room, doing needlework, but they were all listening attentively to the noise in the house.

If it really was an old lady causing trouble, then we really need an old lady with a sharp tongue to go there, and we also need them to take action, those with good physical strength, to block the door and curse for three days and three nights. In the whole village, only Sister Chunhua and Aunt Pang have the strength to do so.

After discussing for a while in the room, everyone unanimously decided to go and test the waters first, and finally let an old man named Er Nian go and take a look.

Although the name of this Erniu has the word "niu" in it, it does not mean that he is naughty. It means that he is naughty and bad. He is also smart and can definitely complete the task well.

While the villagers were still discussing, Wang Tiedan had already ridden his bike to Mujiatun, the village where his eldest sister married. It was not far away, only half an hour's bike ride away.

The so-called people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water.

Mujiatun is one of the villages surrounding the Miyun Reservoir. Most of the families there make a living by fishing, and part of the fish products in Sijiucheng come from here.

Therefore, the situation of the village is better than that of nearby Dawang Village, Shanghe Village, etc.

Wang Tiedan rode along the road and smelled a fishy smell before he reached the village entrance. There were fishing nets and shrimp cages drying everywhere, and he could also hear the crying of children at the village entrance.

"This young man looks unfamiliar. Where are you from?" As soon as Wang Tiedan arrived at the village entrance, he was stopped and asked.

There were quite a few people mending their nets nearby, all looking over here.

"Uncle, I'm from the Tang Dynasty in the East, and I'm going to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures." Wang Tiedan said with a smile, stopped the car and handed over a cigarette, and threw a few more to a few men nearby.

The old man took the cigarette and took a deep breath under his nose, feeling very intoxicated.

"That's nonsense. You have to shave your head to learn from the scriptures, haha. Not bad, young man. You are a buyer, right? Let me tell you, all the fish in the village have been reserved by the commune. If you want fish, go to Chengezhuang and ask. If you go now, you may be able to get a few dozen kilograms. If you are late, there will be no more."

"Uncle, I'm a buyer, but I'm not buying fish today. I'm Wang Tiedan, and I'm here to look for my sister. My sister's name is Wang Daniu."

"Oh, that's the brother of the big girl. No wonder he looks familiar. OK, OK, Dongzi, go to the lake and call some people. They are probably busy there."

"Okay, Third Master." A man put down his work and hurried towards the reservoir.

The old man looked at Wang Tiedan again.

"According to seniority, you have to call me Third Master."

"Hello, Third Master." Wang Tiedan said with a smile, took out a match and was about to light a cigarette for the old man.

The old man waved his hands hurriedly.

"No, there are fishing nets everywhere, and no fire, that's the rule."

Then he pointed to a place not far away.

"See that little girl? That's your niece, Nannan."

Wang Tiedan looked in the direction the old man pointed and saw a little girl with pigtails crying with her mouth wide open. No one cared about her and it looked so sad.

Not far away, a group of young boys were surrounding a black pig, apparently wanting to ride on it.
