Yang Niannian was standing next to her and clicked the shutter button a few more times.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Shuyuan suggested that they go to the brigade to sit and rest for a while, as the weather was really too hot. Chen Weida didn't object, returned to the car, and drove towards the brigade headquarters. Yang Nian didn't get in the car, but stayed to interview Old Zhu and the villagers who were watching the fun. Regardless of their usual friendship, when the reporter asked about it, everyone praised Zhu Youliang and Liang Yuan, and even Old Zhu and his wife were praised to the sky. Chen Youguo waited for Yang Niannian to finish the interview before taking her and Zhu Youliang to the brigade headquarters.
Liang Yuan didn't go along, but instead discussed with Huang Mei that they should get someone to go to town and buy some meat so they could treat everyone to a meal. After all, everyone was so welcoming. In the countryside, inviting people to dinner wasn't a big deal; it was just a matter of cooking a big pot of vegetables and adding a few pieces of meat. People in the countryside usually eat late, and it was only a little after ten o'clock, so it was still early for lunch.
Before Huang Mei agreed, Old Zhu made the final decision, "Sure. Mei, kill all the chickens at home, and ask Youjie to borrow a bicycle to go to town and see if he can buy some meat. We'll also have a dish for everyone at noon."

Huang Mei was about to nod when she saw Liang Yuan take out a large red envelope and pulled out a big unity note from it and handed it to Zhu Youjie, "No need, I have this."
Song Hehua said enviously, "Studying is really good. You have eighty, and Lao Liu has a hundred. Now we have a hundred and eighty, which is almost as much as a city worker's annual salary."
Old Zhu said proudly, "I told you that studying is useful, but you didn't believe me. Now you know."
Song Hehua nodded quickly. "I know, I know. Dunzi will be in school in the second half of the year, so I'll keep an eye on him."
Old Zhu added, "Girls need to study too. You should keep an eye on Xiangxiang. Look at Lao Liu's wife, she even got into college."
Song Hehua felt that no matter how well the girl studied, she was still someone else's daughter, but she still nodded.
