More people means faster work.
Less than half an hour after arriving home, Xiao Yunfei and his friends had cleaned up the fishing nets.
At the same time, Su Miaomiao's noodles were also cooked.
Hu Dazhuang and the others are now hungry and tired, and their eyes light up green when they see food.
Su Miaomiao brought the noodles to the table. They didn't hesitate to take care of themselves and served themselves the noodles.
When the instant noodles entered their mouths, they were all stunned.
They never expected that the noodles Su Miaomiao made casually could be so delicious.
In an instant, the room was filled with the sound of people slurping noodles.
“It’s delicious. Really delicious.”
"It smells so good. This slender meat is really chewy and delicious."
"Poached eggs are delicious too. Look at mine, they have a sweet center, haha."
Seeing everyone enjoying the meal so much, Su Miaomiao was happy from the bottom of her heart.
After everyone finished their meal and left, Su Miaomiao went over to take a look and found that all the noodles had been eaten, and even the leftovers from lunch had been cleaned up.
She frowned slightly and asked Xiao Yunfei.
"They eat so cleanly, they won't be hungry, right?"
"They are full. They are just too hungry. Plus, the instant noodles are so delicious that they couldn't help but eat a little more."
"Oh, then I'm relieved."
At 8:30 in the evening, the sound of gongs was heard outside.
"Meeting, meeting! Each family should send one person to the old willow tree at the west end of the village for a meeting. The village head has something important to say. Meeting, meeting..."
Kong Da's voice reached his ears.
Xiao Yunfei had just come back from taking a shower. He stood outside, knocked on the window, and said to Su Miaomiao.
"Wife, I'm going to a meeting. You and the children should stay at home."
Su Miaomiao knew that the meeting was about the village's military training. She was so tired that she didn't want to move and didn't want to go at all.
She nodded and said.
"Okay, go ahead."
After Xiao Yunfei left, Su Miaomiao called the children, who had already washed and smelled fragrant, to the kang.
"Come on, are you all tired today? Mommy will coax you to bed early."
She lay down with the children and sang a lullaby to them as she did every day.
"The moon is bright, the wind is gentle..."
Su Miaomiao has a nice voice.
The children fell asleep quickly to the sound of her singing.
She looked at the children's peaceful sleeping faces, couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth happily, and then she lay down too.
She planned to wait for Xiao Yunfei to come back before taking off her clothes and going to bed, so she would take a nap first.
Under the big willow tree at the west end of the village, Xiao Yunfei saw Ji Baiqing's wife Wang Xiu'e and his three children.
He almost didn't recognize Wang Xiu'e the first time he saw her.
How come this family has become so thin?
They were much thinner than the last time they met, and their mental state seemed to be very bad. Both adults and children had big dark circles under their eyes.
After Wang Xiu'e came with her child, she stood next to the crowd. She didn't look around and didn't see him.
Xiao Yunfei looked around and found that Ji Baiqing was nowhere to be seen.
Weird, Ji Baiqing didn't come? Did he send his wife to the meeting?
Just then.
“Ding ding ding.”
After three gong sounds, Cui Fangzheng announced the start of the meeting.
"Starting tomorrow, every day at noon, all adult males in the village will gather in the open space in front of Xiao Yunfei's house and train together for an hour."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
"No, my family goes up the mountain to collect mountain products at dawn every day. How can we have time to train?"
"Yeah, isn't this delaying everyone's time to make money? This is unacceptable. I don't agree."
"I don't agree either. We all disagree..."
Cui Fangzheng had long known that the villagers would have this kind of reaction, so he raised his hand to silence everyone's voices.
He has a tough attitude and doesn't tolerate any sympathy.
"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you."
"If you still want to stay in this village and live a good life, then listen to me and go to the open space in front of Xiao Yunfei's house to practice martial arts with Xiao Yunfei tomorrow."
"When the time comes, you will all listen to Xiao Yunfei. You will do whatever he tells you to do. If you don't obey, all the benefits of the village will have nothing to do with your family."
"I'll only say this once. If you don't agree, you can try. You can see Liu Honglin and Wang Lizhi going to open up wasteland every day. If you don't obey, you will suffer the same fate as them."
After hearing this, the whole audience fell silent and no one dared to speak.
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Wang Lizhi's fate is right in front of them, and they have to be afraid.
Everything they have now is thanks to the care of Xiao Yunfei's family and Cui Fangzheng's mercy. Now no one dares to disobey the decisions made by Cui Fangzheng.
What's more, although Cui Fangzheng is a good village head, he is not someone who is easy to mess with. If you really make him angry, Cui Fangzheng will use ruthless force and no one can withstand it.
Cui Fangzheng saw the villagers' reactions and paused before speaking again.
"Don't be ungrateful for what you have. Everything I do is for our village to live well and to safely protect our hard-earned wealth."
"If anyone is dissatisfied with what I've done, you can tell me privately. I'll apply to have you transferred to another village. I've done this before, and I can help you apply. At this critical juncture, I absolutely cannot tolerate a single bad apple spoiling the whole pot of soup."
"You may not know how many people in the village envy you now. They want to be like you, without having to open up wasteland and making a lot of money by collecting mountain products. You don't want to stay in this village. There are many people willing to come. If you want to leave, please give it to the good people."
"I'm making this clear today. From now on, anyone who dares not listen to Xiao Yunfei will be going against the entire village. Xiao Yunfei can deal with you as he pleases. Don't come crying and begging me when the time comes. I won't care, and I can't do anything about it."
......
When Wang Xiu'e heard these words, she felt like the sky was falling.
She couldn't believe what she heard.
How did Xiao Yunfei manage to appease the village head and make him listen to him in such a short time?
This is unbelievable.
Although she was an illiterate woman, she could feel that her man might have made a mistake this time and should not have taken on this job.
At the same time, Su Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.
The backyard is very dark and there is no wall around it. There is grass as tall as a person everywhere, which makes it a bit scary at night.
Usually when Xiao Yunfei was at home, he would accompany her to the toilet at night.
Now that Xiao Yunfei is not at home, she can only go by herself.
She rolled around on the kang twice, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she put on her shoes, walked out of the room and went to the backyard by herself.
As she walked, she thought that it was really inconvenient to have the toilet outside, and she must reserve space for a bathroom at home when she built the house.
Five minutes later, Su Miaomiao came out of the bathroom, and suddenly a dark shadow rushed towards her and covered her mouth.
"Miaomiao, don't be afraid, it's me, I am..."
