The small courtyard, which had been silent for more than ten days, suddenly came alive.

Some villagers came out with shovels to clear the weeds in the yard. Several villagers built a stove with stones and a large iron pot in the corner of the yard.

The villagers brought vegetables, pork, and various seafood.

Although the living conditions of every household in the small fishing village are not very good, everyone is still very enthusiastic when facing guests.

Especially since this guest was a superstar from their village, the villagers felt even more proud and were extremely excited.

The village chief found a few women who were nimble and had some of them wash vegetables and prepare food in the yard, while the rest went into the house to help clean it up again.

Wen Wan stood in the yard, watching this lively scene, and for a moment she couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Even when I was a child, when my grandparents were still alive, this home was probably never so lively.

Glancing to the side, he saw his aunt's family and his second uncle's family chatting with Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was not bored at all and actually had a lively chat with this group of people, making everyone laugh with a few words from time to time.

Wen Wan is very grateful to Chen Fan.

He saw his own embarrassment, so he took the initiative to accept the role of receiving relatives.

Moreover, this scene in front of him was also arranged by Chen Fan.

He is really very charming.

Once you pass the cigarettes around, you can have a topic of conversation with anyone.

Just by chatting for a while, you can make everyone like you.

Soon, more villagers came carrying tables, chairs and benches and placed them directly in the yard.

Everyone laughed and joked that such a lively scene would only occur when someone's family had a happy event.

There were six tables set up in the yard. The food was served and everyone took their seats.

The children were curiously leaning against the wall to watch the excitement, holding the lollipops that Chen Fan bought for them.

Sitting at the main table were Chen Fan and Wen Wan, as well as the village chief, Wen Wan's aunt, and her second uncle's family.

The village chief spoke first, and after some polite words, he asked everyone to applaud and warmly welcome the big star who had come out of the village.

Then we invited Wen Wan to say a few words to everyone.

Wenwan didn't want to get up.

Chen Fan noticed Wen Wan's embarrassment, smiled and stood up on his own initiative.

"Dear elders, Wen Wan just flew back from another place last night. She didn't get enough rest after the long journey and is very tired."

"How about I speak up for her?"

A group of villagers began to applaud.

Chen Fan glanced at Wen Wan with a smile, then continued speaking.

"Although I have never been to our village, I felt everyone's enthusiasm as soon as I arrived today."

"It's clear that every elder has taken great care of Wen Wan. We would like to express our gratitude here."

"Thank you, everyone. I'll have a drink first."

After saying that, Chen Fan picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The villagers burst into laughter. Rural people judge a person by whether he is straightforward and honest.

After Chen Fan drank this glass of wine, he immediately gained the favor of all the men present.

"Everyone, eat it while it's hot. Eat whatever you want."

Wen Wan quietly added a fried small yellow croaker to the plate in front of Chen Fan and whispered, "Actually, you don't have to be so polite."

Chen Fan smiled and whispered into Wen Wan's ear, "You don't understand. Villagers love gossiping the most."

"If you say something nice to them and give them some small favors, they will remember your kindness."

"Although you don't live in the village anymore, this old house is still here. Your father, grandfather, and grandmother are all buried here. It's better to leave a good impression on everyone than a bad one, right?"

Wen Wan glanced at Chen Fan and always felt that Chen Fan was very capable. He dealt with people and handled every matter perfectly.

Unexpectedly, Chen Fan came over and whispered.

"Just don't do anything and keep your cool. I'll take care of the rest."

"The cooler you are, the more mysterious they find you, and the more in awe they feel towards you."

At this time, the gentle young aunt smiled and leaned her head towards him.

"Xiao Wan, are you here to clean your father's grave this time?"

She nodded gently, expressionless.

"right."

"Oh, that's great. We have nothing to do this afternoon, so we can go with you two."

The second uncle next to him took over the conversation: "We are all family. Let's go together. I miss my brother too."

Wen Wan: "If my aunt and uncle are busy, they won't go. Chen Fan and I can go alone."

"That's right, even if there are important things, you have to put them aside first. Burying big brother is the most important thing."

"Besides, the hillside over there is not easy to walk on. I have to lead you there."

"Alas, my poor brother didn't live to see you become a big star. Otherwise, he would have lived to this day and enjoyed a lot."

"That's right, big brother doesn't have this blessing."

Listening to the two families talking endlessly, Wen Wan looked at Chen Fan helplessly. Chen Fan smiled and blinked, signaling her to just bear with it.

Because I was going to the tomb in the afternoon, I didn't eat this meal too late.

It ended at around two o'clock.

The villagers helped wash the dishes, cleaned the house, and then carried the tables, chairs and benches back.

Chen Fan found the village chief alone and took out one thousand yuan from his wallet.

"Village chief, we've spent a lot of money today. Please distribute this thousand yuan to the villagers who provided food. Also, please give some to the other villagers who helped with the work."

The village chief was shocked: "How can you... take your money?"

"Besides, this is too much."

"It's really not a big deal to eat here. We are all so proud that a big star came out of our poor little place. How can I let you guys spend money? It doesn't make sense."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Let's put it this way. Besides, no one's money comes from the wind. I agreed to treat you, so I can't eat and drink for free."

"You can take this money."

"This..." The village chief was a little hesitant.

Wen Wan also said softly, "Village Chief, please accept it. Thank everyone for me."

"All right then. I'll take the money."

Chen Fan smiled and took out another thousand yuan from his wallet.

"Village Chief, this thousand yuan is for you. Please listen to me first."

"This time when I came back, I saw that the roof of this old house was almost decayed. If it continues to leak, I'm afraid it will leak."

"It's a pity that the house is in ruins. I'll give you this money. Please ask the village chief to find a few people to help renovate the roof, replace the glass in the doors and windows, and replace the door of this house."

"It's a simple matter. I'll find someone to help you with it later."

The gentle aunt and uncle standing by were stunned when they saw this scene.

This Chen Fan is really a spendthrift.

He casually took out two thousand yuan from his wallet.

How could the lousy seafood we had for lunch today be worth so much money?

Besides, if you don’t give this money to your own relatives, how can you give it to outsiders?

Really.
