Wenhan City, Beihu Province.
No, to be precise, it is Poshi'ao Village, Hualinsi Town, Yuan'an County, Yichang, Wenhan City, Beihu Province.
When Fu Song sat on the tractor and looked at the village monument of Poshi'ao Village and the rows of dilapidated brick houses, he was completely confused.
It’s not that he has any prejudice against this remote place, but what era is it now?
Can’t we go to Yuan’an County and get a few tables?
Although the Yang family came from the countryside, Fu Song would never believe that Yang Qingpi had no money.
Not to mention anything else, the patent fees from Hao Yuezhu's fruit and vegetable varieties alone bring in a considerable amount of money every year.
The next moment, an old electric tricycle that had been driven for at least ten years came running over, swaying from side to side.
The driver was Yang Qingpi, and there were four people in the car.
Fu Song saw the sexy and charming Zhang Jiuyue at first sight, and the other three also looked very familiar.
Without waiting for him to speak, the three of them greeted him.
Fu Song finally remembered the names of the three people:
Ye Zhiping, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Si Dayou, vice president of Huazhong Agricultural University, and Ling Liwen, professor of Huazhong Agricultural University.
They are all big guys!
After a round of greetings, Fu Song pulled Zhang Jiuyue aside and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Zhang Jiuyue smiled and said, "Which aspect do you mean?"
"A dinner party? This is the first time I've heard of someone treating guests while three months pregnant."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiuyue looked calm: "Every place has its own rules. Just because you don't know about them doesn't mean they don't exist.
But Academician Hao invited everyone here this time for more than just a feast."
"Not simple? Is there some inside story?"
Zhang Jiuyue smiled and said, "You'll know whether it's the inside story or not in a moment, let's go!"
"Hey, what's going on? Can you please explain it clearly? I hate it when people only tell half the truth and hide the other half."
But no matter how Fu Song asked, Zhang Jiuyue remained silent.
In desperation, Fu Song had to follow Zhang Jiuyue into the village.
A joyful atmosphere came towards me. In a yard not far from the village entrance, all kinds of people were gathered.
Various kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat were piled up on the ground, and four fat chefs were busy working with sweat on their foreheads.
The most lively scene was a group of seven or eight children gathered in the corner of the yard. They gathered together to watch a boy about twelve or thirteen years old setting off firecrackers.
The boy unpacked a bundle of 2,000 firecrackers one by one. He held a stick of incense in his left hand, lit the fuse in his right hand, and threw it away.
The cannon exploded thirty centimeters away from him, and his posture was so handsome.
Then the little guy demonstrated several fancy ways of setting off firecrackers, and he was just about to let the firecrackers explode in his hands. The other children's faces were full of admiration.
However, before the little guy could feel proud, his collar was grabbed by a middle-aged man.
Then... Fu Song couldn't bear to watch any longer.
You can easily imagine what will happen if your dad catches you setting off firecrackers.
Soon, it was noon time.
This was somewhat beyond Fu Song's expectations. There was no pre-meal ceremony, no speech from Old Mrs. Hao, and even Hao Yuezhu didn't show up at all.
I only heard the chef yell, "The food is ready."
Then everyone worked hard to prepare the food, and when the four cold dishes were served, they began to feast on them.
Of course, as a great contributor to the Yang family, Fu Song still received special treatment.
He was pulled by Yang Qingpi to the main table in the main hall and sat with Miao Xinlan's family.
Then Yang Qingpi took out a glass and filled it with white wine.
Yang Qingpi raised his glass: "Xiao Fu, there's nothing more to say. Just finish your drink and I'll do whatever I want."
Then he took a big sip.
Fu Song blinked his eyes: "Brother Yang, did you say it wrong? It should be 'You finish your drink, I'll do whatever I want', right?"
Yang Qingpi shook his head: "You are wrong. You must finish the drink. This is the highest courtesy we show to our distinguished guests."
Fu Song: “…”
He looked at the others at the table, who all nodded, "Mr. Xiao Fu, we know about the Qingpi incident. You really should finish your drink!"
"Yes, I am Xinlan's second uncle. We all owe you a huge favor."
"That's right."
Fu Song looked at the wine glass in front of him and had to drink it in one gulp.
"Good!" Everyone applauded.
As soon as Fu Song put down his wine glass, Miao Xinlan's second uncle filled it up again.
Fu Song: "Second...Second Uncle, what are you doing?"
Miao Xinlan's second uncle: "Didn't I just say that? I have to thank you very much too. Come on, finish your drink, and I'll do whatever I want!"
He also took a big sip.
Fu Song didn't drink this time. He looked at the other seven men at the table and said, "Will you all toast me one by one later?"
The seven people nodded: "This is necessary!"
"Of course, you are Xinlan's benefactor."
"After drinking our wine, we will all be family from now on."
“…”
Fu Song: “…”
So before Fu Song could fully experience the taste of a rural buffet, he was forced to eat under the table.
When he woke up again, it was already evening.
Zhang Jiuyue held a bowl of sour plum soup and asked, "Do you feel better?"
Fu Song drank the sour plum soup and sighed, "Their rules here are so strange. I only heard that in a certain ethnic minority, the more distinguished the guests are, the more they need to drink. I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiuyue couldn't help laughing any longer: "Who told you that this is the rule here?"
Fu Song was stunned: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not, they're just teasing you.
Don't you think about it? Who says 'You finish your drink, I'll do whatever I want' when offering a toast? "
