More and more villagers gathered outside the cattle shed, with the village chief directing everyone to move the firewood and wheat straw to the temporary storage at the west side granary.
"Xiao Liuzi, your family has the most stuff, so you better hurry up and move it. Let’s all help out so we can clear out the cattle shed tonight," the village chief instructed the crowd.
