Chapter 878

The village head smiled awkwardly: "That's why I asked too much, let's talk about the road construction first."

"Have you checked the distance to the nearest road?" Ding Xiaojun was still only interested in the condition of the nearest road.

……

In the small pavilion outside, Bu Yining was absent-mindedly adding firewood to the stove. At this moment, the fire in the stove was almost blocked by the firewood she added.

The old man who was cutting hawthorn next to him saw that the smoke in the pavilion was a little thicker, so he couldn't help looking over, and saw his granddaughter, as if she had lost her soul, picking up firewood and adding more firewood.

The old man put down the knife in his hand, walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back, bent his upper body slightly, and said to Bu Yining who didn't notice his approach at all: "Ning girl, are you on your mind?"

Buyi Ning woke up, she turned around and saw that her grandpa had arrived beside her at some time, she quickly put the small stool beside her behind her.

"Grandpa, how could I have something on my mind? You misread it." After Bu Yining finished speaking, he realized that the surrounding area seemed to be a bit smoky.

Pointing to the stove, he said with a smile: "You said you have nothing to worry about. How distracted are you? If I hadn't come to interrupt you, this smoke wouldn't make the people in the village think that our house is on fire."

Only then did Bu Yining frantically go to get more firewood from the stove, and after she took out some of it, the stove seemed empty, and the fire ignited.

The old man looked at his granddaughter with a smile on his face. She had grown up. Compared with the other children in the village, his granddaughter had also reached the age to marry.

Many of the villagers in the mountains of Yun Province started families at the age of 17 or [-]. This is not an exaggeration at all. Buyi Ning is [-] years old. Judging from normal circumstances, he is indeed very young, but from the perspective of the locals , that's really not too small.

"Hehe, don't you see anything when you are a grandfather? Tell me, have you fallen in love with someone's kid?" The old man said to Buyining with a smile.

Bu Yining's face turned red when she was asked by her grandfather, she turned her face to the side, with a shy expression: "That's right, Grandpa, you are joking."

At this moment, Ding Xiaojun coughed from the room. Bu Yining turned his gaze away, but soon, the cough disappeared.

Following Bu Yining's gaze, the old man looked forward and immediately understood.

"Girl, that black guy who is a soldier is from the country. He will leave when his injury heals. You, don't have too much hope. I'm talking about his age..."

Buyi Ning put on a look of displeasure, and said to the old man: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? It's not like I've fallen in love with him."

The old man smiled again, and said to Buyi Ning in a very harmonious and amiable way: "It's not that grandpa has never been young, you really can't tell when you are a grandpa."

"I won't tell you anymore, the village chief is waiting for tea." After speaking, Bu Yining opened the lid of the pot to fetch the water inside.

Seeing that there was steam coming out of the pot, but there was no boiling water, the old man said with some disappointment: "The water hasn't boiled yet, is that why you don't want to talk to grandpa?"

"The mountain spring water here is clear and clean. It doesn't matter if it's not boiled. As long as it's heated up, you can make tea. Grandpa, you still have a lot of hawthorns. Don't cut them up and dry them. Wait until it rains." That's it, it will be ruined." After Bu Yining finished speaking, he took the teapot that had been filled with water, took a bowl, and walked into the room with it.

"Growing up, my heart is outward." Looking at Buyi Ning's back, the old man sighed, turned around and cut his hawthorn again.

"Village chief, there is really no telephone in the village. How can your village committee contact the higher authorities?"

As soon as Bu Yining entered the room, he heard Ding Xiaojun's questioning of the village chief.

"The village committee really doesn't have a phone. The conditions here, the wires are not easy to set up, so there is no phone call." The village chief said to Ding Xiaojun with some helplessness.

Ding Xiaojun looked into the eyes of the village chief and said seriously: "How could this be possible? I see that there is electricity in the village. Why is the line not easy to install?"

The village head explained to Ding Xiaojun again: "The electricity used by our village is a hydroelectric power station built by a large reservoir on the south side of the mountain. The power generation is small, and it only supplies the surrounding villages. The price is really too high."

Ding Xiaojun asked unwillingly: "Village chief, in a village as big as ours, doesn't anyone have a mobile phone?"

"Mobile phones are only used by young people. Now the young people in the village have gone out to work, and those who stay are all old people and children. The old ones are too expensive. The old people in the village really don't use them. It started." After the village chief said this, he suddenly turned his gaze to Buyi Ning who had just walked in.

"Girl Ning'er, I remember you have a mobile phone, why don't you take out your mobile phone and let Lao Ding use it."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, Ding Xiaojun looked expectantly at the dazed Buyi Ning.

Bu Yining knew very well what Ding Xiaojun wanted the phone for. She knew that Ding Xiaojun wanted to leave, and wanted to return to the army he mentioned quickly. However, she always had something in her heart that she didn't want Ding Xiaojun to leave. She thought, Ding Xiaojun's injury is still not good, and he can't act now. Secondly, she likes to listen to the stories Ding Xiaojun told her that happened in the army.

Feeling Ding Xiaojun's hot gaze, Bu Yining shook his head dodging his gaze, and said in denial, "No, I have a mobile phone?"

Hearing Bu Yining's refusal, the village chief was stunned for a moment. He thought for a while, and then said: "I remember you had it. Just a few years ago, your parents came back from outside. Did you give it to me?" I bought a very beautiful mobile phone, I was drinking with your father at your house at that time, but I remember correctly."

"You said years ago, my parents didn't buy that phone for me, they used it themselves, and they took it with them when they left." Bu Yining blushed when he was speaking. , her eyes were still evasive, and anyone with a discerning eye would know that she was lying.

Ding Xiaojun withdrew his expectant gaze, looked at the village head again, and said sincerely to the village head: "Forget the village head, since she said no, then no, I am in a hurry to contact the army, see if you can Please ask the other villagers’ families, if you have it, it’s best, if not, then you have to find another way.”

The village head looked at Bu Yining again with complicated eyes, then turned his head and said to Ding Xiaojun: "Look, you have come up with a good idea for our village. How can I not be careful about such a small matter, as it happens that I still need each family Let’s talk about it from each household, and I’ll ask you for it by the way, if there’s really no one in our village, I’ll go to other villages and ask for it.”
