After kicking out my ex-husband, his brother and I got back together.

Chapter 388 Bonfire Party
He pointed at a boy not far away holding a chicken leg and chewing on it.

"Look at that, the child who just entered the second grade this year is named Wang Zhixin. His mother died in childbirth, leaving him with only one father. There is also a grandma at home."

Xia Yizhen followed his gaze and saw that the boy had dark skin, and the mucus was still flowing out of his nostrils, and he breathed it in again.

The village chief pursed his lips.

"His grandma also passed away last year, and he and his father were the only two people left at home. His father went out to work, so he was left alone at home."

"Can it be done without adults at home?"

Xia Yizhen frowned.

The village chief smiled helplessly.

"You have to do it even if it doesn't work. If you farm in the village, you won't have enough to eat at all. What's more, he will have to go to middle school and university in the future. How can farming alone be enough?"

At this moment, Xia Yizhen seemed to feel the powerlessness of Wang Zhixin's father.

The village chief raised his hand to wipe away tears again.

"I sometimes go to his house to take care of him. The child often eats nothing but plain water. I feel sad and want to take him to my home, but I don't dare."

Xia Yizhen looked at him doubtfully, and the village chief sighed.

"There are too many children in need in the village. If I start one, other people will come and my own family will have to live."

He turned to look at the teaching building behind him.

"I have given over more than [-] years to Heimo Village. I can't let my family survive in the end."

After saying this, he clapped his hands, stood up, and deeply shook hands with Xia Yizhen.

"But it's fine now. Everything will be fine. Look how happy these children are when their parents are around. I haven't seen them smile so cheerfully for a long time."

"Village Chief! What are you doing over there! Come here and dance!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone else's eyes turned.

The village chief smiled at them.

"Look, how nice it is to see their family reunited."

Xia Yizhen felt sour in her heart.

"Then village chief, where are your family members before you came to the village?"

The village chief tried his best to open his eyes wide and raised his head.

"It's gone."

He spoke lightly, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

Xia Yizhen apologized quickly, but he waved his hand indifferently.

"It's okay, it's been many years. When my father passed away, I was helping the people in the village harvest in the autumn. They only had the old and the weak at home. Without that little food, they would be hungry."

"When I rushed home, my dad was already buried."

After speaking, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

At this time, a middle-aged man came over, took the village chief's arm and walked towards the crowd.

"What are you doing, village chief? You are chatting here instead of playing with us. We also want to thank you for helping us take care of the elderly and children at home."

With that said, he turned to look at Xia Yizhen again.

"Teacher Xia, come quickly, everyone is waiting for you."

Xia Yizhen nodded and followed.

By this time the crowd had sat down around the bonfire.

Xia Yizhen walked over and sat next to Feng Yian, and Feng Yian let his six-figure suit rub on the cement floor.

The village chief was squeezed into the middle by the crowd, his eyes were red.

He raised his hand to quiet the people around him, sniffed and said.

"Fellows, today is the day when most people have arrived in our village. At this time every year before, you have probably already arrived at your place of work and started preparing for next year's New Year."

The villagers all looked at the village chief. Even the children stood or sat aside obediently. No one said a word.

"We all know that a few years ago, President Xiao Duan of the Duan Group invested in the construction of our school, built a teaching building, a canteen, and bought a lot of teaching equipment. This year, we met a new nobleman, that is, Mr. Duan The group’s professional manager, Mr. Feng Yian, and his wife, Ms. Xia Yizhen.”

"Village chief, what kind of manager is this?"

asked a villager.

The village chief waved his hand. "I don't even know this, but he is the current president of Duan Group."

Only then did the man understand and let out a long oh.

The village chief continued.

"Our Haimo Village has a total of two mountains and covers an area of ​​more than 8000 acres. This year, pomegranate trees have been planted in all open spaces. This will also be the main source of income for our Haimo Village in the future. And these costs are all paid for by Mr. Feng and the others. We are responsible for it and we are paid every month to take care of the saplings."

"They are shouldering so much manpower and material resources for us. Shouldn't we work harder to take good care of the precious trees in our village?"

"Yes, take care of the baby tree!"

The villagers shouted in groups.

"Should we thank Mr. Duan, Mr. Feng, and Teacher Xia!"

"Thank you Mr. Duan, Mr. Feng, and Teacher Xia!"

The village chief walked into the crowd and invited Duan Xiaowu, Feng Yian, and Xia Yizhen to come among the crowd.

Duan Xiaowu looked at the simple faces and eyes around him and said.

"Everyone, what you have in your family is your hope for the future. The purpose of what we do is to allow you to take care of your career and family. Here I announce that if the pomegranate falls, all the profits will belong to the villagers of Haimo Village."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were loud cheers all around.

The dark-looking villagers were all eager to jump up.

Feng Yian raised his hand, and everyone immediately became quiet again.

"Not only as Mr. Duan said, we will also follow up the development of Haimo Village in real time and develop tourism at the right time. Folks, we live on this land and we must be full of respect for nature. We must also make good use of nature’s resources. From now on, you will not have to leave your hometown.”

There was another loud cheer, and several children ran to the middle, holding hands and circling around the three of them.

Soon, the villagers started cheering and dancing again, and the old people were sitting on the chairs nearby. Even though they had no teeth and only bare gums left, it did not prevent them from smiling brightly.

The bonfire party lasted until twelve o'clock in the evening. After everyone dispersed, the bonfire was extinguished and white smoke was still rising.

At this time, Feng Yian and Xia Yizhen met with the other four people.

But when they found Duan Xiaowu and the others, the four of them had their backs turned to them, their heads lowered, and they didn't say a word.

Feng Yian and Xia Yizhen walked over and saw six burnt corns on the grill.

"what is this?"

Feng Yian asked in a deep voice.

"Mr. Duan's carefully prepared... cuisine."

Chang Rong answered hesitantly.

Duan Xiaowu never figured out why he kept staring at this grill, and the corn could be burned?

"It must be something wrong with the grill. My hands are so steady, so there must be no problem."

"Yes, yes, it's the grill. Next time, don't use the grill with your hands."

Feng Yining patted Duan Xiaowu on the shoulder.

Songzi next to him finally couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Wu, you said you wanted to eat roasted corn, just tell me or Xiao Ning directly, why do you do it yourself?"

Duan Xiaowu was speechless and walked aside to think for a long time.

Suddenly, a golden roasted corn with slightly burnt skin and steam appeared in front of me.

Duan Xiaowu looked up, and a middle-aged woman waved roasted corn in front of her eyes.

"Mr. Duan, eat it. This is baked and delicious."

She handed one to Duan Xiaowu and distributed the remaining five to the others.

Duan Xiaowu whispered.

"Some things still have to be left to professionals."

The middle-aged aunt said with a smile.

"Mr. Duan is right. You use this hand to make decisions and point directions. Don't let it get burned by the barbecue grill."

After she said this, Duan Xiaowu suddenly felt that it was no longer a problem that she was not good at cooking. Why was she so entangled?
