1966
During the New Year, Xiashan Village was enveloped in a joyous atmosphere. Thanks to the blessing of Tuochen Chenfeng and several other villagers, this year's New Year celebrations were truly lively.
The villagers raised the wild boar cubs, paid their share of the tax, and were able to eat a full meal. During the New Year holiday after the famine, everyone was filled with gratitude.
"Sister...sister..."
Chen Yun was already one year old, but there was no birthday party at all. The family members simply helped to prepare a meal.
“Brother…brother…”
Chen Yun, who could speak very fluently, naturally agreed very quickly and loudly. All of his brothers were expected to become invisible sister-con, which made Chen Yun, who had never experienced this feeling before, feel extremely novel.
"Ayun... Ayun... here, here."
"Ayun, we are here."
"Come here quickly, there's something delicious."
"Here, here."
The voices calling out to her were everywhere. Shen Yun's popularity was undeniable. With her tender pink hair and fashionable clothes, she was a unique figure in Xiashan Village.
"Ayun is really getting more and more beautiful."
"Like a fairy, Guihua, you are truly blessed."
Although Shen Yun is small now, he can also see his future grace. Everyone can't help but sigh at the background of Shen Chenfeng's family. After all, it is much better than these mountain people. Look, other people's children and their own children are completely incomparable.
"I really want to take the baby home, but it's a pity it's not mine."
"Even if I wanted to give birth, you can't! If you gave birth to such a cute baby, it probably wouldn't be too cute or good-looking."
Everyone spoke kindly, and in their hearts they couldn't help but sigh: "I really can't give birth to such a child, nor can I afford to raise such a child." Shen Yun was spoiled by the Shen family, but not spoiled. The villagers looked at him with envy.
"Ayun, let's go set off fireworks in the evening after the New Year's Eve dinner!"
"Yes! My dad brought me a lot of fireworks, they are so beautiful."
"Well, there are a lot of good things."
They're keeping it a secret for now, so they can attract more people in the evening. They don't want to reveal the answer now, as everyone will be even more curious in the evening.
"That's nothing. My dad even brought me a lot of good things from the big city."
"I have one too. I have one too. Ah Yun, you will come back with us later."
Everyone wanted Shen Yun to follow them, but unfortunately, facing the elder brother of the Shen family, no one had the courage or possibility to take Shen Yun away.
Chen Yun couldn't help but smile happily. For the first time, he felt that he could actually be so popular. All the things in the past were about to disappear and dissipate surrounded by this happiness. Chen Yun felt like a rice bug that fell into honey.
"I have quite a few at home, too. Why don't you come over to my house in the evening? The open space in front of my house is quite large, perfect for setting off fireworks and firecrackers."
Chen Yun didn't want to go to anyone else's house; she just wanted to stay home. The system gave her a chance to spin the roulette wheel for a month, and she had acquired a lot of useful and useless items. She also had a lot of fireworks, so since she happened to have the system's fireworks, she didn't particularly care about the fireworks the children outside had.
"Yes, we have many kinds of fireworks at home."
The fireworks their father brought back this time are better than those of their friends. I wonder if there are some new tricks in them that they can show off.
The children around them were in a commotion, and the adults nearby were discussing plans for next year. This year had passed, and it had been a fruitful year. They had no idea what the future held; they could only figure things out on their own.
"Chen Chenfeng, you're the smartest among us. You should give us a rough idea of what we should do next year. We all know what it's like to go hungry, and no one wants this to continue."
"Yeah! We'll all follow you. No matter what, no matter what the decision is."
Everyone followed Shen Chenfeng, no matter what happened. Although the people of Xiashan Village were poor, they were able to unite together. Most people were grateful and there would not be those with bad intentions.
"Don't worry! I promise everyone that I will make sure you have a good New Year and that the days ahead will be even better."
Chen Chenfeng looked at all the villagers present with a heavy face. He knew everyone's plans and their thoughts. The days ahead would only become increasingly turbulent. How to ensure everyone's peaceful life was unclear to him. He was taking things one step at a time, feeling his way across the river.
"We all believe in you."
"It's time to hand over the important task of Xiashan Village to you."
The village chief looked at Shen Chenfeng. He was willing to take on the responsibility of village chief no matter who it was, as long as it was someone who could lead Xiashan Village to prosperity. Now, they had truly found the person who would carry on the legacy and the leader of their village.
"No, no, I don't want to add more burdens to myself so early."
After some demurring, Chen Chenfeng wiped the sweat from his face. He didn't want to accept this heavy responsibility at all. The burden of Xiashan Village was more appropriately borne by the village chief. He only cared about his own affairs, and his heart was too small to accommodate too many people.
"No matter what, you will have to take responsibility in the future."
"Let's talk about the future later. I don't want to think about it now."
Shen Chenfeng didn't think that things would necessarily go according to their ideas. You know, plans can never keep up with changes. Perhaps the situation and circumstances next year will be different, so it would be better to wait and see before making a decision.
"Okay, I'll help you while I still have the strength to do so. When I'm old, no matter how many excuses you make, it won't be of any use."
"I know, thank you, village chief."
Chen Chenfeng nodded. This amount of time was enough. He didn't intend to drag it out any longer. He knew what he had to do.
"The situation is becoming increasingly tense. We should pay more attention to the regulations issued by the central government in the future!"
"I know. I subscribe to all the newspapers from the post office. I just don't want our village to be out of touch with the times."
The village chief's face was full of wisdom. He understood better than anyone that they had to follow the orders from above. Individualism and resistance were not tolerated at this time, as everything was beginning to move in a different direction, and they had to take it seriously.
"Yes! We can't be out of touch with the times. Everything must go according to our plan. No matter what the situation is outside, we just need to take care of our village."
"Um."
Shen Chenfeng and the village chief exchanged greetings in tacit understanding, and each of them felt more cautious in their hearts.
