Hanging ceremony painted cookies

"Dear leaders, dear fellow villagers: Today is a good day, and also a big day for our Hedong Village. The village medicinal materials purchasing station is opening for business..." Shen Tianyou's voice was loud and clear, and everyone was excited and applauded continuously.

The purchasing station was crowded with villagers from the village and nearby areas. They all knew that the Hedong Village had earned a good living by digging medicinal herbs and had meat to eat, so they all rolled up their sleeves and wanted to follow suit.

As the initiator and operator of the project, Shen Roujiao stood on the left side of the county chief Gu Jingnian. She was used to big scenes in her previous life, but now she was inexplicably nervous. She saw too many complicated and heavy things in the trusting and expectant eyes of the villagers.

A few months ago, when these eyes looked at the Shen family, they were still disdainful, contemptuous, and disdainful. Now she has become the pride, role model, and backbone of the whole village. It really proved the saying: If you ignore me today, you will be out of reach tomorrow.

People are tolerant and admiring of the strong, and harsh and ruthless to the weak. When you are not good, you are surrounded by bad people; when you are good, you are surrounded by good people. Shen Roujiao, who has seen many storms, is no longer surprised by human nature. But standing in the position where they look up, she still can't help but sigh that people are born to admire the strong, and even she herself can't escape it.

When Shen Roujiao spoke, she drew a sweet cake on the spot: "County Mayor Gu said that the good time has come, and it has really come. From now on, every family in our Hedong Village will live in a two-story building, everyone will drive a car, and eat meat three times a day. The good days are still to come, and everyone will definitely see it." She was describing the nationally famous Huaxi Village, which built factories in the 1980s and built a city in the 1990s.

The villagers were clapping their hands till they were almost sore; they could not even imagine such a day, but when they heard Shen Roujiao say it, they believed it.

At that moment, she shone in everyone's heart.

When it came to the unveiling ceremony, Shen Roujiao pushed the old village chief forward. He was so excited that he was shaking all over. He held the county chief's hand tightly and repeatedly said thank you to the party and thank you to the government.

When the red cloth fell, deafening firecrackers rang out, and there was cheers and applause from the audience.

......

"Is this still my delicate sister?" Hu Zige was followed by Boss Cui and Boss Chen. "She is so beautiful, I can't recognize her!"

"Hey, thank you all, everyone!" Shen Roujiao put her hands behind her back and tilted her head to one side, looking shy and playful.

It is because of the help of these three nobles that Shen Roujiao had the opportunity to quickly learn and grow from a layman who knew nothing to a daring and enterprising herbal medicine merchant.

The wheel of history rolls forward. In the near future, Boss Cui will firmly sit on the top spot of Yunnan medicinal materials, Boss Chen will build a local medicinal materials market, Hu Zi will travel all over the countryside to become a major acquirer, and Shen Roujiao will go higher and farther than them all.

"Senior." Gu Changgeng, holding Jixiang Ruyi, and Gu's mother walked towards Shen Roujiao. He was stunned just now. The senior was as beautiful as a star in a picture magazine, dazzling and eye-catching.

"Sister, junior, why don't you go in and take a look." She pointed to the yard behind her.

"I've seen it. Congratulations. I'm proud of you as a woman." Mother Gu opened her arms to Shen Roujiao and gave her a big, warm hug.

In any era, it has never been easy for women to succeed. Being able to have a place for themselves in a field dominated by men, not being objectified, belittled, or subordinated, and gaining truly equal respect, its meaning itself far exceeds the word success.

The two hugged each other tightly, empathizing and illuminating each other. Shen Roujiao felt as if there was warm sunshine in her heart, and whispered in Gu's mother's ear: "Thank you."

The aunts who didn't know what was going on whispered to each other that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a really good relationship. In fact, they hadn't stopped since they came to Gu's mother's side. Gu Changgeng held back his laughter and raised his ears to listen, while Gu's mother pretended not to hear anything and occasionally glanced at her son who was laughing foolishly beside her.

Under the gaze of the crowd, County Mayor Gu Jingnian and his party finished touring the venue and walked out of the yard. He looked up at the crowd to find Mrs. Gu. Gu Changgeng waved at him and called out, "Dad!"

?

What's wrong with you, junior?

Shen Roujiao's forehead instantly had three black lines, and she fiercely glanced at Gu Changgeng beside her, as if to say: Did you let something slip?

Gu Changgeng just winked at the senior and spread his hands, with a look of stupidity that he himself didn't know why.

The defenseless ladies behind him were dumbfounded and petrified in an instant, their eyes full of disbelief. The protagonist of the rumor known to everyone in Hedong Village was actually him!

The shock was like ripples on water, spreading out with Gu Changgeng as the center.

"He, he is..." The aunt who just said Gu Changgeng was a fool was so scared that she stuttered, "He, no, maybe!"

When everyone was still thinking that they were hallucinating and calling the wrong person, Gu Changgeng took a step forward, waved his hand and called out again, "Dad!"

Gu Jingnian waved his hand at his son and continued walking forward with the group. His assistant ran to Gu's mother and said, "The mayor wants you to return with him. He has something else to tell you."

Mrs. Gu nodded and patted her son on the shoulder. "I'll leave the car to you. When Senior Sister is done, you can go back together." As she spoke, she turned to Shen Roujiao and said with a faint smile, "I'll go back first. Come to my house for dinner when you have time. I promise it'll be all your favorite food."

It has to be said that the facts about my biological father and mother have already been revealed and there is absolutely no way to deny it.

Shen Roujiao did not think much about it, but was worried that after Gu Changgeng's identity was exposed, he would be flattered by the villagers when he came to Hedong Village again, and he would not be as relaxed and at ease as before when no one paid any attention to him.

Everyone stared with wide eyes as they watched Gu Changgeng and Shen Roujiao send Gu's mother to the county governor's car. The scene of the happy family did not seem like a rumor at all. There was even a vague illusion that it was a deliberate official announcement.

When they waved goodbye to each other at the same time, all the aunties in the village turned into wild mothers-in-law in an instant, and they believed that Gu Changgeng was the "villager" son-in-law of the village.

Before the car drove out of the village, the whole place was in an uproar, and everyone was eating at the melons: the two of them were a perfect match, the girl was talented and the boy was handsome, and everyone else was jealous.

The first person to ask Shen Roujiao was not someone else, but someone from the Shen family. Aunt Zhao was just surrounded by a few aunts, asking her if the person she was being petted to was her junior schoolmate. She was so shocked that her head was buzzing. She had never heard the Shen family talk about Gu Changgeng. They all thought he was just a rich kid who liked to make trouble and play. Especially after listening to Shen Roujiao's words, she didn't think about anything else.

As for Gu Changgeng's true identity, Shen Roujiao never mentioned it to anyone. If he hadn't revealed it himself, Zhang Qingjie would probably be the only one who knew that his father was the county magistrate.

"His father is the county magistrate, why didn't you tell me?" Aunt Zhao pulled Shen Roujiao aside and asked anxiously.

"The county governor forbade me to speak." The way he shirked responsibility was very reasonable.

Zhao Ye pointed at Gu Changgeng, who was surrounded by a group of ladies, and asked, "Is he really your crush?"

"No." Shen Roujiao saw Gu Changgeng's face almost cracked from laughing, and knew that no matter what she said now, probably no one would believe her.

"!" Zhao Ye frowned. Although she didn't say anything, the look she gave Shen Roujiao clearly said, "How could it not be? His face showed that I was enjoying it very much, okay?"

The two of them looked at Gu Changgeng who was at the center of the storm. The wild mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more. She kept praising him, saying that he had a good personality, was spirited, had no airs, and was caring... She wanted to use all the good words and sentences to describe him, like gilding the Buddha, picking out the best, most expensive, and most valuable words to use.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. The best way to stay away from rumors is to go as far away as possible, which is basically an escape. Shen Roujiao hid in the yard of the purchasing station and discussed with Boss Cui and Hu Zi about going to Xidou Village to collect the angelica.

She thought she had finally escaped a storm, but she didn't expect that more than ten minutes later, Shen's father actually brought Gu Changgeng in to find her, "How could you leave him alone outside? Fifteen was so scared that he was screaming, let alone Xiaogeng."

Fifteen is a combination of good luck and good fortune. In order to take good care of Master Zhou's two dogs, Shen's father had to quit his job in the factory, which was equivalent to quitting his job with a monthly salary of fifteen yuan. Fifteen became the common name of the two dogs.

"That's right. That group of people are about to eat up Junior Brother Gu." Sister Caifeng walked in behind Shen Rushan.

snort!

Are you kidding? He'd be scared?

If she hadn't just seen the look of enjoyment on his face, Shen Roujiao would have given him some sympathy.

"When you were not here, they pressed me to find out if I was your girlfriend." Gu Changgeng shouted in surprise. Now everyone in the yard heard it. Those who had no time to watch the show before now rushed forward to join in.

"? How can you say that?" Scandal is really a double-edged sword. The more beneficial it was to her before, the more trouble it will cause her now.

"If he says no, then they won't believe me. If I say no, then they won't believe me either." Father Shen was more anxious than Gu Changgeng, fearing that the county chief's son would be implicated. The Gu family treated their younger sister well, so they also had to treat Xiaogeng well.

"If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it. Anyway, what's fake can't become real. I can only inconvenience you for the time being." They said no one believed it. Shen Roujiao said even less believed it. She just laughed and didn't say anything when she heard the rumors before. At that time, she didn't expect that she would actually know the county governor's son.

Gu Changgeng hung his face, trying hard to suppress the joy in his heart, and said secretly: "Don't feel wronged, as long as senior sister is happy." What a nice person to respond like this.

!

No wonder no one believed it, not even the people in the yard, except Hu Zi who knew everything.

That day, Shen Roujiao didn't stay for long before she left with Gu Changgeng. The main reason was that she didn't dare to stay any longer as the atmosphere at the scene was really not favorable to her.

After the two left, the rumor that Jiaojiao was the county magistrate's daughter-in-law was firmly on the board. Everyone could see with their own eyes that the Gu family liked Shen Roujiao.

…

A week later, on the day agreed upon to purchase Danggui, Boss Cui, Hu Zi, and Shen Roujiao appeared in Chen Village together in a truck carrying goods.

As soon as I parked the car, I heard the clanging sounds of knives, forks, swords, halberds, axes, and hooks. There was no need to think too much, as it must be the rhythm of another fight.

Boss Cui got what he wanted. He not only watched the spectacular scene of hundreds of people from the two villages fighting, but also saw how Shen Roujiao, a woman who is as brave as any man, stopped the fight in a second.

She was still standing on the small dirt slope where she had fought the two sides, and she gathered all her energy and shouted, "Where is the 1,000 kilograms of money? Let's fight again after I get the money!"

What could be more important than "collecting money"!

Stop the war instantly!

As they put away their fists, they said to Shen Roujiao in unison, "The goods have already been prepared. Each village has 600 kilograms, a total of 1,200 kilograms. They have been divided into three grades: large, medium and small. We are just waiting for you to arrive today."

!

What do you mean?

You can keep fighting and do business as usual, without any delay in either!

The horror of being stubborn and unreliable.
