Chapter 99: Only after eating him can I feel relieved
Yi Min threw the topic to Mian Mian.
Su Chenfei was nervous for a moment, wondering if letting his aunt answer this question would reveal the truth or something, then he heard his aunt in his arms answering: "No gods talk to Mianmian, gods ignore Mianmian, and oh, who said the mudslide was originally in your village?"
Yi Min didn't expect the question to be thrown back at him. He was stunned for a moment: "No one, that's what's spread on the Internet. By the way, I heard that the little aunt can tell fortunes. Can she tell fortunes for the people in the village later?"
Mianmian nodded: "Of course, Mianmian can help you calculate it."
Yi Min smiled at Mian Mian again after hearing her agreement. He was not bad looking, wearing glasses and looking gentle, and his gentle expression in the twilight was quite eye-catching.
"Ah, I mean, this village chief is actually my type. He's really good looking."
"You're talking about returning to the village after finishing school, or college students returning to their hometowns to build the countryside? Very few people have the courage to do so."
"Isn't this village well built? I think the village chief is over 35 years old and should be married?"
The barrage praised Yi Min's appearance, and at the scene, Yi Min had already asked everyone to take their seats.
The villagers also arrived and sat down at the table. Banquets in rural areas are usually like this, with each family contributing their own tables and chairs, covering the table with transparent plastic film, and then using porcelain plates to serve the dishes and disposable bowls and cups to eat.
After Xu Weiwei sat down, she looked around at the villagers at other tables and patted Liu Hui's hand: "Sister Hui, it's so strange, why are there no elderly people in this village?"
Liu Hui heard Xu Weiwei's question, glanced at Yi Min inconspicuously, and responded with a smile: "I also find it strange. Can the village chief tell us?"
Yi Min was arranging paper bowls on the table. He nodded when he heard this: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. The tradition in our village is that the elderly don't live with the young. The uncles, aunts and sisters are all in the back mountain. I can take you to see them tomorrow."
He spoke sincerely, so Xu Weiwei and Liu Hui didn't ask any more questions.
Dragon Country is vast and rich in resources, and there are many ethnic groups. It is normal for small villages in the Shangada to have some strange habits. Now it is live broadcasting, and Yi Min also understands that it is impossible to lie in front of the live broadcast, right?
"Why is there still such a custom? Why don't old people and young people live together?"
"Alas, it's a rural custom. It's normal. It's good enough that they don't say women can't sit at the table."
"When the banquet started, I realized there were so many children in the village, and many pregnant women."
There were indeed many children, and according to the village's banquet rules, all the children sat at one table. The table was specially prepared for the children, and was lower than the table for adults, so it was just right for the children to sit on.
A little boy of about seven or eight saw Mianmian and the others sitting with the adults. He frowned and ran over to ask Yi Min, "Village chief, why don't these kids eat with us kids? Shouldn't they sit at the children's table with us?"
There was a look of doubt in his eyes.
Yi Min touched the child's head and said gently, "They are not from the village and do not have to abide by the village rules. The village chief told you that. Have you forgotten?"
After hearing this, the little boy scratched his head and showed an honest smile on his face: "Oh, I forgot, Village Chief, you, don't be angry."
After saying that, he ran back to his seat and looked at the camera curiously.
While he was looking at the camera, a thin little girl sitting next to him suddenly cried out "Ouch".
The little boy heard the voice and said irritably: "What are you yelling about? It's so annoying."
The little girl didn't dare to speak and lowered her head silently.
Everyone was seated and the dishes were served soon. Eating outdoors, the smell of food wafted far away. After a day of driving, the guests were already hungry. Director Hu, who arrived late, apologized to Yi Min and ate a piece of lean meat after sitting down.
"Oh, this pork is good and fresh." Director Hu praised the taste of the dish. "Isn't it because of us that the pig was just slaughtered today?"
Yi Min toasted Director Hu: "To entertain distinguished guests, of course we have to be prepared. Director Hu, let me know if there are any tasks or games later. I will arrange them and make sure your program is well arranged."
Director Hu saw that the plastic cup was full, so he poured some out and left a small amount: "You are the village chief, I should drink this glass of wine, but I have something else to do, and it's not good to get drunk, so I will only drink a little, please forgive me."
Yi Min was not angry either. He drank the glass of wine himself and said, "Director Hu is a busy man. I understand, I understand. But I saw that the live broadcast stopped at 6 pm before. Why is it still being filmed today? Don't the brothers carrying the camera want to drink something?"
"It's a new village, so we have to take more photos to attract attention." Director Hu laughed, "I heard you have a welcoming ceremony. Isn't this going to let netizens see the customs of your village?"
Yi Min nodded: "Yes, yes, hahaha, we should take a look at it."
While the two were chatting, Mianmian was sitting on a small chair and eating.
She was indeed hungry. There was no high chair here, so she had to rely on Su Chenfei to help her pick up food for meals.
Whichever dish she pointed to, Su Chenfei would pick that dish for her.
After Su Chenfei finished picking up the food, Chu Qi and Liu Hui started eating the dishes that Su Chenfei had picked up for Mianmian.
Xu Weiwei was originally trying to cater to her son's taste by picking up dishes that he liked. But she noticed that Chu Qi and Liu Hui picked up dishes in such a strange way and gave Liu Hui a second look.
As she watched, Xu Weiwei remembered what her son told her when the bodyguards sent him back to her room: "Mom, there's a pomegranate this big and very red, but Mianmian said we can't eat it, so I took it away for her."

Originally, Xu Weiwei thought that Mianmian might like pomegranates a little, so she took her son's to eat. It was nothing, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Now seeing that Liu Hui, Chu Qi, Su Chenfei and others only eat the dishes ordered by Mianmian, they will feel guilty and only pick the ones that Mianmian said they want to eat.
Director Hu was a sharp man who kept an eye on everything. He noticed the strange way the guests at the table picked up the dishes, and he also started to eat only those few dishes.
When Yi Min saw it, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his lips became more genuine.
It’s good to eat it, it’s better to eat it, and he will feel at ease after eating it.
After dinner, Yi Min invited the guests to sit nearby.
There was a stage covered with a red cloth.
Some farmers, wearing white vests on the upper body and black trousers on the lower body, jumped onto the stage with their trouser legs rolled up.
It was already dark, the light from the outdoor incandescent lamps and the bonfire came together, some people were beating drums, and some were playing flutes.
The sound of musical instruments made the whole welcome party lively. The little boys ran around the stage happily, while the little girls stood aside, helping their mothers to clean up the tables and chairs.
On the red stage, the men raised their arms and swayed their bodies slowly to the beat of drums and various instruments, looking like they were imitating some kind of animal.
[Hahaha, this village has something to offer, with so many talents.] [Oh, it suddenly reminded me of going back to my hometown during the Spring Festival. In my family, the women also cleaned the table, while the men played cards and had fun nearby. (I don’t mean to provoke gender confrontation, I just sighed)] [What kind of dance are those men dancing? Are the villagers in this village ethnic minorities? The dance is quite interesting.] [Hiss, I feel a bit like a snake, are they imitating a snake?] “Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss~” As the audience guessed, the men on the stage actually made snake sounds from their mouths.
Their fingers were pressed tightly together, and not only did they use body movements to imitate snakes, their arms also touched, entwined, and twisted like snakes.
Although they are men, they are strangely harmonious in dancing this dance that requires body flexibility.
Su Chenfei was a little afraid of snakes and got goose bumps all over his body. He couldn't help but move closer to his aunt and hugged her in his arms for comfort.
