Xu was so eager for food that a few people dragged Gu Zheqi over within five minutes.
Snowflakes were still falling in the sky, and Gu Zheqi was brought over by everyone before he even had time to tie up his inner coat.
"Girl Jiu, I brought it to you, you can talk now!" Several people pushed Gu Zheqi inside and said.
When Mrs. Gu saw Gu Zheqi like this, she screamed and rushed towards him.
"Qi'er, are you cold? Why are you wearing so little?"
Gu Zheqi was so cold that his teeth chattered and he was trembling and unable to speak a complete sentence. But his eyes were staring at Gu Jiu without blinking. If eyes could kill, then Gu Jiu would have died countless times.
"Give me a moment, give me a moment."
Gu Wen panted angrily and squeezed through the crowd with his thick coat. This group of people ran so fast that he almost stopped running and failed to catch up.
"Now that everyone is here, Xiaojiu, please tell me your request."
After hearing the village chief's words, everyone looked at Gu Jiu expectantly, waiting for her to open her mouth and tell the specific place, but Gu Jiu's next words made them frown.
"Girl Jiu, what conditions do you want to negotiate as we are all fellow villagers? Can't we just tell everyone where the food is?" Aunt Chen interrupted dissatisfiedly as she looked at Gu Jiu. She was planning to run out first, but now she can't Ask her to take it back?
"Yes! Girl Jiu, it's quite cold for everyone. It won't be too late for us to talk about the conditions when it gets warmer."
Gu Jiu smiled: "I said from the beginning that you can leave if you feel cold."
After hearing this, everyone stopped saying anything, but they all started to get angry. What are you dragging? Isn’t it just that you know where the food is? How dare a junior to let so many elders listen to her speech in a snowy day!
"Everyone, our third room wants to go to the county town, but..."
"What the hell? Are you the only girl in the city?" Before Gu Jiu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a man picking his nose.
Hearing this, everyone laughed loudly or softly. If you can do it, you will be laughed at!
Mr. Gu stared at Gu Jiu with a serious face. Could this man want to leave before Zhe Qi wins the ranking?
Gu Jiu looked at the village chief and signaled that he didn't need to worry about it. When the cold wind blew again and again, and everyone's mouths were almost frozen, Gu Jiu slowly spoke: "If you want to laugh, just laugh as much as you want. You can laugh at any time." That’s enough, let’s get on with it.”
The scene was completely silent. Gu Jiu waited for them for another two minutes before continuing: "While we were leaving Gujiacun, my grandparents and even my uncles, aunts, and cousins had no choice but to report to the government for any reason and cause any trouble for us!"
"I have just asked the village chief to prepare a certificate. Everyone will sign on it later. After everyone signs, they can go get the grain. There are currently about 1,500 kilograms of grain, which can fully support everyone. Open the city gate."
When they heard about fifteen hundred kilograms, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.
I thought I had three to four hundred kilograms of grain to last me, but I didn’t expect there to be so much!
"I come first! I'll press my fingerprints first."
"I'm coming too, finish it as soon as possible and move the food in as soon as possible!"
The crowd began to gather quickly in the center, and the village chief quickly stopped them.
"Folks, we are just witnesses. We have to let Mr. Gu sign before we can press our fingerprints!"
"Then hurry up, what are you waiting for!"
"That's right, Ba'er's mother, hurry up and hurry up so we can get some food! My son is still hungry at home!"
Ms. Zhao lowered her head and said nothing. It was far from her turn to make the decision in this matter.
As soon as Mr. Gu took the paper handed over by Gu Jiu, Gu Wensheng and Gu Zheqi moved forward. They became more and more annoyed after reading just over seventy words. At the end, Gu Zheqi took the paper and tore it up. .
He threw it to the sky and said sarcastically: "Gu Jiu, your calculations are really loud. As a child, my father still brings things to the family every year. You are worthless, why haven't you given anything to the family for thirty years!"
"You were in danger without food, and I saved you from the fire!"
"Stop bullshitting me, isn't it what you are doing?"
Hearing such shameless words, Gu Jiu ignored Gu Zheqi, turned to look at Mr. Gu, and said: "Grandpa, you should know that once I escape, I have countless opportunities to leave. I can completely change my identity all over the world. ! But you are different. Without this food, whether Gu Zheqi can take the exam on time next year is another matter!"
Gu Jiu didn't lie about this. According to her previous plan, if Mr. Gu refused to let go, she planned to find a way to escape while fleeing. Although this way, there is no need to argue with Mr. Gu, but it will also cause a lot of trouble.
She is not one of those high-ranking officials, and it is still very troublesome for a commoner to get a new identity. If you can't produce anything to prove your identity when caught by the government, you might even be taken into custody by the government as an enemy undercover agent.
Mr. Gu didn't say anything. When Gu Zheqi saw this, he immediately became anxious. He planned to sell Gu Jiu to get some money! If she really went to the city to settle down, it would be difficult!
Although Mrs. Gu didn't know what was written on it, seeing her grandson being so angry, she immediately started scolding him.
"Isn't it just a matter of signing? Is it necessary to have such a big reaction? Everyone is still waiting to move the food!"
"It's just that your grandpa hasn't said anything yet. Why are you, a junior, so anxious?"
Seeing that Gu Zheqi and Mrs. Gu were about to start a fight, the villagers immediately gave up. They were still waiting for this food to save their lives! You can't just tear it apart!
"My back hurts when I stand and talk. You...Dad, why are you pulling me? If it happens, then the house will be..."
"Stop talking." Gu Wensheng scolded Gu Zheqi in a low voice, then turned to look at Gu Jiu, his eyes unclear.
Thinking that he can escape by going to the city? With his connections in the city, it is very easy to deal with a little girl who has just arrived and has no place to live!
Seeing that Gu Zheqi and Mrs. Gu were settled down, the others also turned off the fire and shut up. After all, Gu Jiu was from Mr. Gu's family. If there was too much quarrel and no food, it would be a huge loss!
Mr. Gu looked at Gu Jiu and asked word by word: "Is this the way you said?"
"yes."
Mr. Gu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it: "I can agree, but the content in black and white must be changed! Mr. Gu, I allow you not to send anything to your family, and I promise that I will not make you leave home." I will report the Xiao incident, but if Qiqi Feihuang Tengda turns over the matter again, then I won’t care!"
Hearing what Mr. Gu said, Gu Jiu almost laughed out loud. This Mr. Gu really held a grudge.
"no problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief handed over a rewritten piece of paper.
Mr. Gu took it and after reading it carefully, he quickly signed it with his pen and pressed his fingerprints.
The old man expressed his position, and the others said nothing. Gu Zheqi glared at Gu Jiu fiercely, and pressed his fingerprints with such force that Gu Jiu thought he was trying to press a hole in the wooden table.
Seeing Gu Zheqi and others finishing their fingerprints one by one, the villagers suddenly became excited.
"Folks, don't be anxious, line up and come one by one! Those who have finished pressing can go home to get the baskets. Don't worry, we won't set off if there are not enough people!"
The villagers were all excited, and soon only Gu Jiu and the village chief were left in the yard.
"Xiao Jiu, make two copies. This is yours, don't lose it." The village chief folded the paper in half and put it in Gu Jiu's hand.
Gu Jiu nodded and said, "Village chief, how do you plan to divide the 1,500 kilograms of potatoes?"
"Based on the number of people, there are only about thirty households in our village, so it is easy to divide them."
After a while, everyone came back with baskets and baskets. Some poor families even took pots for dinner.
Gu Zheqi also carried a big basket on his back. Since he left early, he arrived quickly, but when he arrived, he did not come in and just stood at the door.
Looking at the people who came into the yard to talk to the village chief one by one, Gu Zheqi rolled his eyes in disgust: A bunch of fools, they walked in and had to run out after a while!
If he hadn't secretly hid a lot of food before, and his father secretly gave him some when he came back, he wouldn't have been able to survive on just one meal at home.
I think he used to eat half of the food and throw away the other half. After suffering for so long, he can get it back in one go this time! One thousand five hundred catties, why should their family get five hundred catties! If I had gone earlier and hid myself, I would have starved these people to death. I wonder if they would come crying and beg me!
Gu Zheqi thought very well, and had even thought of lines for the person who had just insulted him, but he never expected that Gu Jiu would call him in after everyone gathered.
"Why do you have so many things going on every day? Is there anything you have to say that I can't listen to outside?"
"As a junior, you tore up the village chief's handwriting in public, so you should apologize!"
Hearing this, Aunt Xia immediately took back the foot she was about to take out. She just wanted to scold Gu Zheqi for being such a bastard. How come her man was also the leader of Gujia Village, and he was just a junior who could tear her apart at his request? Doesn't this slap her man in the face?
Gu Zheqi was stunned when he heard this, pointed at the village chief and asked in disbelief: "Who did you tell it to? Him? His position was given to him by his grandfather, otherwise do you think he would be where he is today?"
Hearing this, the village chief's face immediately darkened. The result of the election was originally his, but at that time Gu Wensheng suddenly lost the child, and everyone started clamoring for Mr. Gu to become the village chief.
And the reason why Mr. Gu refused in the first place was simply out of trouble. It can be said that I became the village chief solely because of my own ability! Even if Mr. Gu really agreed, he might not have done as well as him!
"Gu Zheqi, do you think I'm not worthy of being the village chief? If you have any opinions, you can speak up!"
The village chief never gets angry on weekdays, and he always looks kind and calm no matter what happens. This is the first time that he is in such a serious situation. For a moment, everyone was silent and said nothing.
