A natural village is a name, but it cannot be regarded as a formal social management unit. Administrative villages are the real local distinguishing marks recorded in national archives.
This kind of natural village is generally formed by one or more families living together, followed by national laws and regulations, and family rules and family rules are the rules that really circulate. At the smallest scale, there may even be only a few households in a natural village.
It is not uncommon for there to be no restaurant in some natural villages that are severely closed or slightly smaller in scale, but this village is obviously not small in scale, with a well-planned residential layout, grocery stores and other trading points... and so on. After all the calculations, and looking at this place regardless of the image of "natural village" displayed to the outside world, this village is more appropriate to say it is a base than a village.
…
After leaving the target "village", Han Chu drove along the country road without a predetermined destination. It was like a self-driving outing enjoying the roadside scenery at will, carefully examining and identifying the surrounding situation along the way.
Ye Shuang couldn't tell what he wanted to do, so he simply looked at his watch: "Brother Han, how long are you going to go? If it takes a long time, I should take a nap first?"
Han Chu glared at her: "Is it time to sleep now?"
"Didn't I see that you didn't think about the next step?" Ye Shuang felt aggrieved.
"It's not that I didn't think about it, but I'm looking for it." Han Chu frowned: "Natural villages may not be marked on the map. I'm looking for other villages nearby..."
"Eat?" Ye Shuang happily answered the second half of the sentence.
"...Are you that hungry?" Han Chu gritted his teeth.
"I'm so hungry." Looking at this posture, Ye Shuang could see that she had guessed wrong, but she said everything, so she simply lost her image: "I was hungry for more than an hour before, and my digestion and metabolism are fast. This morning, I was at Zhou Le's house too early and didn't feel too full... I didn't know that there are still places where I can't buy food even if I have money."
"Okay. Let's eat then." Han Chu didn't want to say anything else, and found a shadow of a house on the side of the road, so he drove over and parked.
Ye Shuang was almost startled: "Why is Brother Han so talkative this time?"
"I'm making trouble out of no reason?" Han Chu was also speechless. After parking the car, he pulled out the key and opened the door. While staring at the muddy fields under his feet and considering the position of his feet, he explained casually: "Villages and villages are very familiar with each other, because they often There will be intersecting relationships. So most of them know what happened in each other’s place. We will be guarded if we directly look for clues in the natural village just now. But it’s nothing if we ask around.”
Carefully stepping on the muddy path to the front of the house, although this is just a private house, no matter whether it sells food, it only needs to sprinkle money. Of course everything is fine.
In less than half an hour, Han Chu and Ye Shuang had already had a hot meal under the greeting of the enthusiastic elder sister.
Sturdy big pot of meat, sturdy big pot of vegetables. Add a bowl of vegetable soup and a bowl of white rice... Facing such a battle, even Han Chu held his chopsticks and was speechless for a moment. This person thought he was feeding pigs
But in fact, the eldest sister has no evil intentions. The rural people are enthusiastic and honest. Who told Han Chu to pay a lot of food for the information.
So she couldn't refuse, and the elder sister who felt that she had taken advantage of it certainly put all her energy into preparing the meals. Completely follow the standard of entertaining distinguished guests in the village - it doesn't matter if you can't finish eating, the key is to have more and more oily water.
Anyway, the leftovers can be eaten slowly with the family...
"Sister. We have a relative who married near here. It seems to be called Shilitun. Do you know how to get there?" Han Chu skipped over the oily braised pork with vague dislike, and picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks across most of the table. Chatting casually while eating.
The eldest sister was also brought to the table to eat together, but she obviously couldn't let go, she just kept picking up food for the two of them: "Shilitun? That place is not far away, I will show you the direction in a while, follow the road and you will be there .”
Han Chu nodded, thanked a few words, and then casually mentioned: "Do you know who the village chief is? We don't know anyone here, and we don't know how our relatives are doing. We want to ask someone to take care of them."
"Village head?" The eldest sister was confused for a moment, thinking hard as if she had encountered a major problem: "I really haven't heard of it, but people in that village often mention a man named Wu Ye, who is probably quite famous, please He can do it too."
"Fifth Master?" Han Chu showed doubts at the right time, and induced people to continue talking.
The eldest sister smiled: "Actually, the village head of our villages is just a title. People don't necessarily call them that. Usually, people with high seniority in the village speak. I heard that fifth master is like the person in charge of their village... In fact, you If you want to know, just ask anywhere.”
The natural village called Shilitun was the one that Han Chu and the two hurriedly left just now. They thought they should be able to hear some useful information nearby, but after chatting with the elder sister, they discovered that this village was unexpectedly kept secret.
Although the general villagers are enthusiastic, they don't limit the topic of chatting, and they don't have the self-consciousness to inquire about information. Therefore, even if they meet together and talk, they will be taken away from the topic when they talk about key information and become unconscious.
So in this way, it was only when Han Chu started typing that he realized that these people didn't even know the basic situation of each other very well.
... In fact, it can't be said that he doesn't understand at all, at least Han Chu still knows a fifth master.
After talking briefly for a while, and after making sure that no more useful information could be found, Han Chu quietly took the topic away. From Shilitun to the surrounding specialty products, then from the surrounding specialty products to what kind of field crops are suitable for the terrain, from the field crops to the nearby people who come and go... After talking about the basic situation of the surrounding twenty miles, Han Chu was satisfied. , Stretch out the chopsticks... empty.
"Huh, are you done chatting?" Ye Shuang burped while drinking from a water glass.
The eldest sister, whose mind was completely taken away by Han Chu, stared dumbfounded at the disheveled table, and couldn't figure out why there was no food on the table—this is usually enough for her family of five to feed for a day!
"...Brother, your wife has a really good appetite, do you have it?" The eldest sister looked at Han Chu with a complicated expression, thinking that she finally understood the truth of the other party's bold move just now.
It's so edible, no wonder he gave out three red tickets as soon as he waved his hand.
Han Chu was silent for three seconds, expressionlessly put down his chopsticks and drank a glass of water, barely mixed with water, then smiled coldly: "Hehe..."
