Qibao asked, "Then are you still angry with grandma?"
The old man slowly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, saying, "I was just teasing her."
Everyone: “…”
The next day, the old man gave the women in the village a day off to help with cooking.
I bought two big fat pigs, both of which were processed.
The women in the village were busy washing and cutting.
After the winery was closed for the holiday, Old Man Lin and Mrs. Sun had nothing to do, so they came to help.
The whole process of preparing the meal lasted until dark. After all, there were so many people in the village, so the portions had to be sufficient, and several large iron pots were set up.
The villagers moved all the large dining tables they used at home to the open space at the entrance of the village, as it was the only place that could accommodate so many people.
After the women brought all the prepared dishes to the table, they found a place to sit down.
The old man, the village chief, and some elderly villagers sat at the same table.
The village chief stood up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to say."
The villagers who were originally noisy have all quieted down, even the children who are playing there are no longer making any noise.
"First of all, I want to thank everyone for their hard work over the past few years. Now that the tourist village we've built is complete, I hope that when you make money in the future, you'll never forget the Xu family's help in our most difficult times. And please don't think I'm nagging and keep saying things like this!"
"Uncle village chief, when I broke my leg, it was Uncle Xu who asked people to make bone soup all day long, and asked my wife to go home to take care of me. He still paid her wages, and he even made soup for me with the precious ginseng as if it were free! I..." Xu Daniu choked up as he spoke.
Uncle Xu patted Daniu on the shoulder and said, "Daniu, why are you crying? We are brothers. This ginseng is nothing. Even if it's not you, if anyone in the village has an accident and needs my help, as long as my family has it, we will definitely give it to them. No matter how precious something is, it is not as important as the lives of our fellow villagers."
The others were also moved after hearing what Uncle Xu said.
They are all a group of simple people, without so many tricks, and they all understand the kindness of the Xu family to them.
"I, Da Niu, have been fatherless since childhood, so Uncle Dashan has always treated me like his own son. I, Xu Daniu, am here to declare that if anyone does anything to let Uncle Dashan's family down, I will risk my life and skin him alive!"
"Count me in as one of the big bulls!"
"Yes, count me in too. My son is studying in the village school, and my daughter is also learning to read and embroider there. We don't have to spend a penny. Everyone, don't forget who gave us all this!"
The men were talking to each other.
The village chief nodded with satisfaction and said loudly, "The reason I say this is because our village may have many tourists from outside in the future. I hope everyone will not be blinded by the things outside and do things they shouldn't do, understand?"
"Village Chief, everyone understands what you mean. We in Xujia Village are one community. We know what we should and shouldn't do!"
Aunt Qin also shouted, "We women are no worse than you men! We're not the kind of people who are short-sighted. Our home is here, our ancestors are here, our roots are here. We definitely wouldn't do anything rude, don't you agree?"
"Yes! Aunt Qin is right!"
"That's right! We are all daughters-in-law of the Xu family, the face of the Xu family. We won't do anything to stab them in the back!"
At this moment, Qibao felt touched for some reason. These people were so adorable! If she hadn't seen it in person, she would have found it hard to imagine that a village could have such a strong sense of cohesion.
The old man said, "I understand everyone's intentions. The main reason I gathered everyone here tonight is to talk about some of our village's plans."
"Uncle Dashan, tell us what you want us to do."
The old man said, "Okay, I'm going to say a few things next. Everyone, listen carefully. First, the people working in the winery and greenhouse vegetables can still go to work as usual, but once our village is open, outsiders must not be allowed into the winery at will."
"Secondly, there are the patrolmen in the village. Everyone knows that if there are too many of them, there might be unexpected situations. I have already arranged for the patrolmen. I have found a few people in the slums who are good at swimming."
"Third, the village needs to set aside a piece of land. If anyone has a skill, they can set up a stall there to increase their income. I'll discuss the specific land with the village chief tomorrow."
"Fourth, I hope that if anyone asks about our family affairs, everyone can keep it to themselves. Okay, for now, these are the four points. Do you all remember them?"
"Uncle Dashan, we've got this in mind. If anyone asks us, we won't be able to explain it clearly."
The old man nodded and said, "One more thing. I plan to build a door curtain at the intersection of our village and the town. This will not only help me promote my business, but also serve as the face of our Xujia Village."
"No problem, I will bring some people to do it tomorrow, don't worry, uncle!" Xu Chunsheng said.
"Well, there's one more thing. All of our houses are similar in style. To prevent people from getting lost, we'll hang a wooden sign in front of each house with the owner's name written on it. For example, if it's your house, it should say Xu Daniu's house. Do you understand?"
"Uncle, I understand. My daughter can write now, so let her write!" a man said proudly.
"Haha, look at how proud you are! My daughter can write too! I'll let her write too! My daughter's handwriting is so beautiful!"
"Ha ha…"
Everyone burst into laughter in an instant.
The village chief said, "Okay, we've said everything we wanted to say. Let's eat and drink!"
After hearing what the village chief said, everyone started eating without hesitation.
The women's table.
"Sister Chunmei, didn't your family's Wenwu go to the city to take the imperial examination last time? The results are about to come out, right?" a woman asked.
Zhang said, "Yes! It came out today, and we couldn't see the notice."
"If you ask me, Wenwu will definitely pass the exam this time. He's a good student, and everyone in Huamen Town knows that! I'm telling you, many people in this town are waiting for the results!"
Zhang said, "This, is not possible?"
"Of course not! I heard people discussing it when I went to town a few days ago!"
"That's right. There are many girls in this town who have their eyes on Wenwu and Zhiyong. Even Zhiyong has his eyes on them. It's really because your family has a good reputation and money."
Zhang smiled and said, "Won't these two boys of ours become very popular?"
"That's right! Your children are all very handsome and promising. Who wouldn't want their daughter to marry into your family?"
"Yes, Chunmei, you have to keep a close eye on him and don't let him fall into the trap of people with ulterior motives. Although what I said may be a bit unpleasant to the ear, such a good child like Wenwu must not be ruined. You must find him a lady from a noble family so that he can be a good match for Wenwu." said a woman of the grandmother's generation.
When talking about ladies from noble families, the first person Zhang thought of was Wendie.
