"Little Jiang is back. I saw you all heading to town this morning, but you were walking so fast I didn't get the chance to call you." It was the village chief, Li Mu.
The cloth and grain were bundled into a pack on Jiang Hu's back, and he was still holding Xiao Mi in his arms. This little fellow was heavy, and the journey was long, so Jiang Hu had to carry him.
"Village Chief, my second aunt has finished her confinement. I just wanted to take her to town for a visit, to relieve some stress and buy some things. As a man, I'm careless and forgot to buy many necessary items for home."
The village chief wasn't just someone casually selected by the villagers; he was officially registered at the town government office.
And Li Mu was familiar to everyone along the way, known for his fairness and literacy, and he helped resolve many small issues during their travels. So, when it was time to choose a village chief, Li Mu was selected.
