This year, Wujia Village enjoyed favorable weather and abundant harvests. Village chiefs and village heads from the surrounding area went to the county town for a meeting, and unsurprisingly, Wujia Village was awarded the title of the most beautiful village.
The county magistrates gave him a reward, and Wu Jiahu happily took the reward back to the village.
On the way back to the village, we met some villagers. Seeing that the old man was quite old, they offered to give him a ride.
"Jiahu, oh no, I mean, Village Chief, judging from your expression, what good news have you got this time?"
The old man was also an elder in the Wu clan. According to seniority, Wu Jiahu had to call him "Uncle".
Wu Jiahu had a good temper. His son was driving the cart, and Wu sat on the cart with a smile on his face, saying:
"Uncle, you can just call me Tiger. I've really encountered something good."
“You’re the village chief now, so I can’t just act like an old man. You should call me village chief, otherwise when your third uncle comes back, he’ll say I don’t know the rules.”
The old man shook his head. "A country has its laws, a family has its rules, and a village has its own regulations."
If he sets this precedent, then some people will inevitably follow suit.
Over time, Jiahu's prestige as village chief will decline.
"Is Third Uncle coming back? Who told you that?"
Wu Jiahu let out a burp and jolted awake.
You should know that he was able to become the village chief entirely thanks to the strong support of his third uncle!
He was grateful to and respected his third uncle.
"Old Wu, that's your Yongfu grandpa, was making a racket early this morning, riding in his grandson's carriage, saying he was going to town to buy things to welcome his third son's wife, Princess Jiang, home."
I was thinking, now that Princess Jiang is back, shouldn't your third uncle be coming back too?
The old man was just telling the truth; it was his speculation.
"That's for sure. With the princess back, Uncle San will definitely be back too. That's great! When I get home, I'll have my wife send some things to Uncle San's house."
Wu Jiahu said excitedly, "My family has no one to rely on; my parents passed away early. I already respect my third uncle as my own father."
If it weren't for his third uncle, Wu Jiahu wouldn't be where he is today...
Soon, everyone in Wujia Village knew that Princess Jiang was coming back soon.
Before Wu Qingshan could even politely decline, his doorstep was piled high with fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish delivered by the villagers every day...
In the dead of winter, people are all bundled up so tightly that it's impossible to tell who is who.
I want to give money, but I don't know who to give it to.
Seeing this, Da Xue came up with a plan: accept the gifts, but also consider the favor.
Why not set up a banquet in the village and treat the villagers to hot pot?
Hot pot is a novel and delicious treat for most people.
The banquet format also allows everyone to gather together and connect with each other.
Hot pot ingredients, sliced meat, meat rolls, snacks, fruit drinks, and fruits are all available.
After thinking it over, Qingshan felt it was feasible.
He secretly kissed his wife and then happily went to tell the village chief about it.
Unfortunately, Wenwan witnessed this scene, covered her eyes, and stuck out her tongue slightly.
Shout loudly;
"Daddy, you're so shy~"
Qingshan stumbled at the foot of the mountain and almost slipped and fell to the ground.
Xia Hua quickly covered the young lady's mouth; how embarrassing!
Da Xue turned back into the house, feeling embarrassed, only to meet her son's sleepy eyes.
I'm a little troubled by the thought that my children's personalities seem to be the opposite of mine...
Jiang Yue returned to her hometown in triumph, leaving with a grand motorcade.
When we returned to our hometown, there were two convoys, a grand procession.
Unlike before, when it was necessary to hire bodyguards from a security company to escort them.
Now, she has her own personal guards, and has selected a hundred men to escort her.
Originally, she thought twenty people would be enough, but Steward Qian and Aunt Ge advised her that things were different now. The princess was of noble status, and there were people in the shadows who wanted to harm her, so it would be safer to have more people escorting her.
As for accommodation, there's no need to worry. On the one hand, there are sleeping bags and tents available. On the other hand, the old man has expanded his house, adding dozens of rooms for servants and guests, enough to accommodate about a hundred people at the same time.
It has to be said that even without her, the eldest son has already grown into a visionary head of the family.
The procession was grand and impressive, and local officials in every place they passed through treated them with utmost respect.
What should have been a journey home in less than two weeks has been stretched into a full month.
Since it was a surrender, and considering the possibility of future cooperation,
More friends, fewer enemies.
Jiang Yue could only manage to appease them and maintain good relations with local officials.
I didn't spend much money on food, clothing, housing, or transportation this time.
With someone to back her up, being on good terms with her not only brought her these benefits, but also secured a lot of sponsorships and business collaborations for the construction of Yunshui County next year.
When they finally returned to Taohua County, the wind and snow intensified, making the roads difficult to travel, but they were eager to go home.
Only Yao Yao and Aunt Qin accompanied her back; the others, including the dog, chose to stay in Yunshui County.
Needless to say, Yao Yao missed her brother and sister-in-law, her nephews and nieces, and her grandparents in the old house.
Old Qin, on the other hand, was thinking about her children and grandchildren and wanted to go home to celebrate the New Year with them.
As for her husband, he's obsessed with being the township head. Even during the Lunar New Year, he wants to stay in that land of hope and refuses to leave...
Considering the long journey and the fact that it was winter, she didn't persuade her grandparents to come to her hometown for the New Year.
The Gu family still has grandchildren, so let them have a happy reunion at their home in Yunshui County.
That heartless dog, Xiaobai, is completely devoted to his wives, concubines, and children; he no longer cares about his master.
Sigh, since we can't keep Big Dog, let Little White retire at the Princess's mansion—or rather, be a stay-at-home, family-oriented dog.
Although she left Yunshui County, it doesn't mean her informants will completely disappear.
The wisteria in the garden was her eyes and ears.
Under her instructions, Manager Qian took good care of the wisteria. Although the wisteria's branches and leaves were withered, it kept a close watch on wherever the vines were.
With the right fertilizer, everything else is easy.
A natural surveillance camera, except it doesn't display any images.
It's a pity that she hasn't encountered many plants with intelligence like wisteria.
"Mom, where are we? I'm a little hungry~"
Qingyao rubbed her sleepy eyes and woke up from her mother's lap, her innocent charm lingering.
"Almost there, almost to town, we'll be home soon."
Jiang Yue gently rubbed her daughter's head and helped her tidy up her messy hair.
Before she knew it, her daughter had grown into a young woman, and she felt a little dazed, wondering if she was getting old.
"Selling roasted chestnuts!"
"Selling candied hawthorns!"
"Selling snowflake crisps!"
"Selling candy figurines!"
......
Outside the car window, the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air.
"Mother~"
"Stop the car, hurry up and buy it, then we can continue on our way home."
"Hehe, I knew Mom was the best~"
Aunt Ge, who had remained silent the whole time, helped the young woman put on a hat made of a fox tail and draped a cloak over her shoulders before she got off the carriage. Then she got off first to help the young woman out...
