"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid that something unexpected would happen before the relationship was finalized." Su Miaomiao explained.

"Haha, uncle is not blaming you. Uncle knows you are a thoughtful person." Wang Hongjie spoke immediately.

"Let's go, let's go eat. I've been thinking about this and had no mood to eat. Now I just feel very hungry. Let's find a seat quickly." Wang Hongjie said as he carried his pipe and went to find a seat.

Su Miaomiao found his expression change in an instant a little funny and followed him towards the crowd.

"Little sister, this way." Just as Su Miaomiao was looking for a seat, Huo Xinyuan stood up and waved at her.

Su Miaomiao walked over immediately.

There were eight people at the table. Huo Yubo was not available, so Shan Yazi filled the empty seat.

"Comrade Su." Shan Yazi saw Su Miaomiao sitting down and greeted her with bared teeth.

Su Miaomiao nodded at him.

After a while, the villagers started serving the food.

Although we spent twenty yuan on the meat, there were so many people in the village, and after it was mixed with some vermicelli and vegetables to make a hodgepodge, we could hardly see the meat. But as soon as it was served on the table, everyone's eyes lit up.

Broth is also meat!

Nowadays, if you have anything delicious, you have to brag about it for three days and three nights. Being able to eat meat soup is an unimaginable happiness.

According to custom, the village chief needs to say a few words before eating, but Wang Hongjie saw that everyone was impatient, so he just shouted "Let's eat", and everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks.

For a moment, the only sounds in the huge open space were the sounds of people eating and the endless stream of praises.

"Today I cooked more dishes than the village chief could eat."

"That's right, I don't even want to talk about the village chief's cooking skills."

"Hahaha, keep your voice down. Be careful that the village chief hears you and punishes you to carry manure."

"Hahaha……"

“…”

The square was filled with laughter, and Su Miaomiao ate with gusto. Although it was not as good as the usual meals at home, perhaps because everyone was competing to eat a little more, they ate a few more than usual.

After eating and drinking, the women in the village began to clean up the dishes, while the men returned the tables, chairs and benches to the host's home one by one.

The children were running around happily, and even the night could not hide this rare festive atmosphere.

“…”

Su Miaomiao felt the warmth and liveliness, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. Suddenly she thought of something and searched for Wang Hongjie's figure in the crowd. After finding him, she walked over.

"Uncle Wang, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What?" Wang Hongjie was carrying two stools in his hands. When he heard Su Miaomiao's words, he put them down immediately.

"Although we have resolved the incident this time, it still cost us a lot of time and energy. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, I think the village should strengthen patrols." Su Miaomiao said.

"I was just thinking of waiting until everything here is dealt with before coming to talk to you about this." Wang Hongjie agreed immediately.

"What is your plan?" Su Miaomiao asked.

"I'm thinking of increasing the number of patrol officers to three in the future so that we can supervise each other and respond to any problems." Wang Hongjie expressed his thoughts.

"Okay." Su Miaomiao nodded, but added, "In addition to these, I think we should also train the villagers in fighting skills, so that if they really encounter it, they can protect themselves to the greatest extent."
