    Male protagonist, you need something to do 71

    They didn’t believe Third Uncle’s explanation, but they decided to play dumb. After all, they had things they didn’t want to say. Since it was someone else’s secret, why bother getting to the bottom of it? It would just be annoying.

    “Okay.” Zhou Min nodded.

    It was still dark, about five o’clock, and the brown rice porridge was steaming hot on the table. Hu Xinlan and Sweet Potato Taozi were too tired last night and did not wake up.

    Fanshu meditated halfway through, but he was still a child after all, and finally fell asleep.

    The first breakfast in Anxi Village was actually just a simple meal for Zhou Min and Han Jiuyou to accompany their third uncle.

    When the third uncle left with a shovel on his back, he took away the letter of introduction given to him by Zhou Min. Zhou Min pulled Han Jiuyou and stood at the door, watching the third uncle’s figure gradually disappearing into the morning mist.

    “Third uncle doesn’t seem to have a good impression of people named Han.” Han Jiuyou said calmly.

    “Don’t make blind guesses about things that shouldn’t bother you at such a young age. And even if you really don’t like her, so what? Shouldn’t the person you should care about be my sister? I can take your life, but I can’t tolerate a surname?” Zhou Min lowered his head, ruffled his hair with his other hand, said with a smile, and then pulled him out of the door, but the place he went to was the river outside the village.

    Although it was still dark, people were already plowing in the fields and harvesting the autumn harvest along the way.

    The unfamiliar looks of Zhou Min and Han Jiuyou naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially a girl as beautiful as Zhou Min who had never been seen in the village.

    The young man looked at Zhou Min secretly from time to time. He wanted to come forward, but he didn’t dare. After all, Zhou Min’s temperament and fair and tender skin did not look like a poor peasant working in the fields, but more like a capitalist lady. However, the patched clothes on her body made it difficult to figure out.

    When they were finally leaving the village, an aunt carrying a basket on her back approached Zhou Min and Han Jiuyou with an inquiring look on her face, “Who is Comrade? He looks very strange. When did you enter the village? Such a tender girl, how come I haven’t seen you before? Are you leaving the village so early?”

    Zhou Min looked at the 30-year-old aunt with a shrewd look on her face and smiled, “We are relatives of Grandpa Zhou’s family in Dongtou. We arrived in Anxi Village very late last night. Because it was too late, we didn’t have time to register with the village committee’s production brigade. This morning, my uncle went to the village committee with our letter of introduction. We came from Baigou Village to see our uncle.”

    Zhou Min’s simple and unpretentious explanation made the aunt’s inquiring eyes disappear immediately, and she smiled brightly and kindly, “Ah! It’s Lao Zhoutou’s village niece! I am the sixth aunt who lives not far from Lao Zhoutou’s house. There is an old cypress tree in the adjacent yard next door. It is the only old cypress tree in Anxi Village. It is easy to recognize. It can be regarded as the symbol of Lao Li’s family., as long as you find Lao Li’s house, you can find my house. I live in the yard next to Lao Li’s house.You can come to my house to sit down.Baigou Village is quite far away. It’s really interesting to come so far.But, why haven’t you heard of Lao Zhoutou before that he has such a handsome niece?”

    When the aunt stepped forward to stop Zhou Min, many young men around her pricked up their ears. When they heard that she was the grand-niece of old Zhou Min, they all breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed to be a poor peasant among the top five. When asked if she had a partner, the unmarried men wanted to put their ears on Aunt Six.

    Zhou Min lowered his head shyly, shook his head, and perfectly interpreted a shy little girl, “I’m still young.”

    “No, no, my Chunya was already a mother when she was your age!” Aunt Six became more and more fond of her. If her sons didn’t already have wives, she would have really wanted to have such a good-looking daughter-in-law, who would be very dignified when she brought her into town.

    Zhou Min didn’t say anything, but the face of Han Jiuyou next to him was getting worse and worse. Zhou Min naturally noticed it. In order to prevent Han Jiuyou from being as direct as when he confronted Jiang Yong last time, Zhou Min squeezed Han Jiuyou’s palm tightly to signal him not to get angry. But at the same time, he also raised his head and said apologetically, “Looks like Aunt Six is rushing to where?”

    “Ah! I forgot about it. I have to rush to the county town to deliver something to my eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law. They are all workers in the city. My wife is a female worker in a textile factory. My eldest son also works in the textile factory, but he is in charge of people! In our village, apart from the eldest son of the Li family, my family has workers. Ignoring those from the Li family is not a good thing… If you see it in the future, go around.”

    When the sixth aunt mentioned her eldest son and daughter-in-law, she obviously felt like showing off. She raised her head higher than others, but when she talked about the Li family, her eyes were obviously full of disdain and disgust.

    This unhappiness came and went quickly. Soon Aunt Six, who wanted to continue showing off, took Zhou Min’s arm affectionately and walked away, saying, “They are all filial. Every year at the end of the factory, they will give workers like them some extra cloth coupons as rewards, and if they don’t keep them for themselves, they give them to me, an old woman. Alas, I am so old, I can’t wear many bright fabrics…” Aunt Six smiled happily, but Zhou Min just smiled and did not answer.

    Aunt Six didn’t wait for Zhou Min’s envious boast. She was a little unhappy in her eyes, but she didn’t pay much attention. She had a feeling of being superior to others. She looked at Zhou Min’s clothes and said, “Little girl, she looks pretty, but this dress is too plain. For a big girl of your age, it’s better to wear something brighter.”If the little girl stays at your uncle’s house for a long time, it is better to come to the sixth aunt’s house at the end of the year.I live in the house not far from your uncle. There is an old locust tree in the yard.If you come to my house, I will give you some large red cloth materials. They are bright and beautiful, and they will definitely suit you.”

    Aunt Six’s enthusiasm made Zhou Min shake his head repeatedly, “It’s a pity to give such good material to me. Besides, this is the filial piety given by Aunt Six’s son and daughter-in-law to you. Aunt Six looks young, and the bright colors complement you very well. How can I accept it easily? I can’t have it.” Aunt Six was very impressed by Zhou Min’s words, especially the words of youth, filial piety, and bright colors that suit you very well.

    Aunt Six laughed and waved her hands, feeling quite embarrassed. Zhou Min laughed dryly and stopped at the fork in the road at the entrance of the village. “Aunt Six and I are on different roads. If Aunt Six wants to go to the county town, she should take the carriage of the production brigade.Well, I don’t know how long it will take to walk with such a big backpack. I remember my uncle said that the carriage stops on the slope in front every day and leaves when the time is up, but many people still go to the tower to ride on it every day, is that right?”

    “Oops! Looking at my memory, we can’t talk anymore. If we don’t leave, we’ll miss the carriage!” Aunt Six suddenly realized. She slapped her thigh and without having time to talk to Zhou Min, she immediately hurried up the dirt slope of another road up the mountain.

    Zhou Min stood there and breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Aunt Six leave quickly.

    After smiling helplessly at Han Jiuyou, she took his hand and walked to another path, towards the big river at the entrance of the village.But soon, word spread throughout Anxi Village that a very beautiful and well-behaved niece came to Lao Zhoutou’s family.

    So when the third uncle registered the information of Zhou Min and others in the directory of the village committee’s production brigade, as soon as he went out, many people gathered around and asked about Zhou Min.

    This group of people are all people who have unmarried boys at home.

    The third uncle couldn’t help but frown. He seemed to have thought of something. He didn’t rush to go to the autumn harvest but hurried home.

    Zhou Min and Han Jiuyou stopped by the river. The stone trembled slightly. Han Jiuyou immediately frowned, then looked at the bottom of the river, then turned to look at Zhou Min, “What are you going to do, sister?”

    “Since you want to exorcise ghosts and become slaves, you naturally have to come to a place with extremely strong Yin energy to perform better.” Zhou Min said easily, but Han Jiuyou frowned frequently, and his eyes kept lingering on the dragon and snake coiled around the huge stone.
