In the threshing ground, the Shen family's graduation banquet was held, with over fifty tables and a grand scale. The entire Xiashan Village was out, excited for this happy event.
"Today is the graduation banquet for the three Shen siblings. We are here to congratulate them on getting admitted to the best school in the capital."
The village chief came out, glass in hand, and looked at the shy three siblings, feeling immensely satisfied. These were children from Xiashan Village, and they would become the pride of the village in the future.
"Thank you... Thank you everyone for taking care of me over the years. Thank you!"
Shen Chenfeng led the children to the stage, thanking them repeatedly, and the pride on their faces could not be concealed. This joyful mood has continued until now, and they have put all their efforts into this banquet.
He used a combination of meat and vegetables, hired the best chef, and obtained the finest ingredients. Even the best restaurant in the county probably couldn't come up with the dishes that Shen Chenfeng had created.
The villagers looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but feel more satisfied. They also accepted Shen Chenfeng's kindness from the bottom of their hearts. Not everyone has such courage, and not everyone can prepare such a banquet.
"I've long missed the Shen family's fruit wine, that taste..."
"It's all fruit wine this time, what a blessing."
Taking a sip with great care, everyone was immersed in the sweetness of the fruit wine. The taste was incredibly good. They had been dreaming of this ration for a long time, and this time they finally got what they wanted.
"If it tastes good, drink more. You don't know when you'll be able to drink it again."
Chen Yun was about to leave for university in the capital, where she certainly wouldn't have the free time to make fruit wine. While wine gets more fragrant with age, the more she drank, the less it would taste. She had to take advantage of this opportunity to drink it to her heart's content, otherwise she wouldn't know how long she'd have to wait.
"That's right. Niuniu is going to college soon. I don't know if I will have time to continue making fruit wine."
My wife had tried it before, but she couldn't quite match Niuniu's skill or taste. So, with no other options, everyone gave up the idea of brewing their own fruit wine. It would have been even better if Niuniu could let them buy the wine, but unfortunately, the Shen family wasn't one for those who needed a little money.
"I like this one best, but it's a pity that I can't drink it without limit."
"We are all the same." The alcoholics are all together. If they don't have a drink for a day, they will feel uncomfortable all over.
"After Niuniu goes to school, will we still have such good fruit wine?"
Now, everyone thought of a serious problem. Could they still drink the fruit wine brewed by Chen Yun? The quantity was limited, and time was also limited. Could they make it?
"I think...it might be difficult to drink again."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"Yeah...it's probably going to be hard to drink again." Everyone's eyes darkened. They didn't know when they'd be able to drink again. It was a shame. If possible, they would have wanted to store some to drink slowly.
"Okay, I'll be satisfied after drinking enough today."
The person beside him smiled and filled his own bowl again. There was no other way, he had to drink his fill so that the glutton in his stomach would no longer be thinking about this ration.
"Are we celebrating already?"
A group of cadres approaching the village entrance marveled at the scale of the place. They hadn't expected the entire village to be drinking there. This family was incredibly popular; they must be quite good people, otherwise they wouldn't be so popular.
"County Mayor...Town Mayor?"
The village cadres standing nearby couldn't help but marvel at the crowd slowly approaching. Everyone stared at the scene with wide eyes. No one had expected to see so many leaders here.
"You guys eat, you guys eat... We just came here to join in the fun, but we didn't expect it to be so lively here."
They greeted the villagers cordially and looked at the dishes on the table. They all expressed their admiration for the good food and the generosity of the host.
"Who are Shen Feng, Shen Yun, and Shen Yu? I'm here to meet the college students from our county, the students from Capital University."
"Yes! Where is Wenquxing?"
This time, we came to honor these three college students, who had brought great honor to the county. Everyone in the upper echelons knew their names, and their scores on the college entrance exam were truly astonishing. Going forward, they'll receive even more attention from the higher-ups, and they'll need to be mentored.
"Here... these three children."
"Very good, energetic!"
Patting Shen Feng and Shen Yu on the shoulders, the county magistrate and the mayor couldn't help but praise the three children. "Great! They're all handsome boys. I wonder whose daughter would be so lucky to be favored by them?" The county magistrate, who couldn't help but wonder if he was going to be a matchmaker, and the town leaders were all thinking in their hearts whether they had any suitable daughters.
"Are these three children married? I have a good child at home, and we can let the two children meet each other."
"Old Xie...what are you doing? I have children at home too, and they're much prettier than yours."
"Ahem...my granddaughter is pretty good too."
"My boy is doing well."
Upon hearing this, everyone became anxious. No one wanted to let such a good boy slip away from their hands. They had to make sure he became their son-in-law, or even their grandson-in-law. No matter what, they wanted to meet their daughter and see if there was any possibility of development.
"Stop arguing and see if the young man is willing or not."
The villagers watching the cadres on the verge of a fight were amused. They hadn't expected Shen Feng and Shen Yu to be so popular. However, this group of people also reminded them that they really needed to think carefully about how to get the upper hand.
"We also have a daughter who's about to get married. Isn't it time to have a good talk with Guihua?"
"Yeah? The children in our village definitely have more opportunities than these children."
Everyone had grown up together and had some friendship, so childhood sweethearts were definitely the best. This was a potential stock, and we had to pull her over to our side. Plus, Guihua and Shen Chenfeng were both good-natured, so they were relieved their daughters were living in the Shen family.
"After this incident, it seems that it is time to think about the issue of the children's marriage."
Miao Guihua, standing by, was also thinking about the marriages of her eldest and youngest sons. As for her daughter, she wanted to keep her for a few more years and didn't want to marry her off so quickly. Anyway, her daughter was still young, so there was no rush. Instead, the eldest son needed to be taken care of, and the daughter-in-law must be able to shoulder the responsibility of the family.
"After this time, I'll have to look for a suitable partner for Afeng."
Chenchenfeng muttered beside Miao Guihua, and began to wonder which daughter was better.
