Liu Feiyang was just about to go out with his wife to pay New Year's greetings when people from his family came in one after another.
Seeing that they were all villagers, they greeted Ke Xin as soon as they came in.
"Happy New Year, Village Chief! I wish you become more beautiful every year."
"Happy New Year, Village Chief! I wish you a son soon."
"Happy New Year, Village Chief! I wish you a smooth and prosperous journey this year."
"Happy New Year, Village Chief..."
After Ke Xin dealt with one, another pair came. After she dealt with two, four came. After she finally got rid of them, another group came... She looked at Liu Feiyang beside her helplessly and blinked twice.
Isn't it the younger generation who pay New Year's greetings to the elders during the Spring Festival? Why is it that now that she is the village chief, everyone comes to pay New Year's greetings to her?
Ke Xin spent the whole morning receiving and paying New Year's greetings. By noon, Ke Xin had finished paying New Year's greetings without even leaving her own yard.
Just as he was catching his breath, Bai Feng came with a bag of big red dates to wish Jiang Wuli and Kexin a happy new year.
Bai Feng bowed and said with a smile, "Happy New Year to Uncle Jiang, and I wish the village chief a smooth sailing in the new year."
Jiang Wuli looked at the bag of jujubes and said with a smile, "You came so soon, why are you bringing anything with you? When you leave, take it back for your mother to eat. She's weak, and eating jujubes is the best way to replenish her blood and qi!"
Bai Feng smiled and shook his head: "Our area only produces dates, and we have quite a lot of them at home."
Jiang Wuli nodded slightly: "Thank you, you are so thoughtful."
He comes to deliver gifts every year, without missing a single year. Such a person is respected by the whole village.
She wanted to keep him for lunch at noon, but she had a frail old mother at home, so Ke Xin didn't try to keep him. Instead, she asked Xiao Wu to send him back and prepared a return gift for him.
Ke Xin said, "These are all sausages produced at home, as well as a few pickled cabbages, some dried and fresh meat, dumplings, and bean buns. I packed some for you. They're all cheap food, so don't be polite."
Although Bai Feng didn't see those things, he felt that there were a lot of them when he heard her say that. He felt embarrassed: "Village Chief An, I just came to pay New Year's greetings, I didn't expect..."
"I know, but this is also a token of my appreciation, not for you. I will go to your village to investigate after the New Year, and I will inevitably bother you more then!"
When Bai Feng heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Welcome, welcome. It's just that our village is poor, please don't despise us!"
"How could that be!"
They are all poor villages, who looks down on whom?
Ke Xin stood at the village entrance and watched Bai Feng leave, but someone behind her was very jealous: "He asked you to walk an old bachelor ten miles away. Is he as bad as me?"
"Get lost!"
Not to mention that Bai Feng could be her father, but at least he could be her uncle. She sent Bai Feng away out of courtesy. He came from far away to wish her and her grandfather a happy new year, so she couldn't just sit in the house and watch him leave.
We eat dumplings on the first day and noodles on the second day. We get together to play during these two days, so most of the food we eat is bean curd dumplings and the like. The dishes we cook are stews. Because there are many people in the family, the stir-fried dishes are the same as stews, so we set up two big pots in the yard for stewing.
Now there are only female chickens, ducks and geese left in the house. All the males are eaten for meat. There is no way around it because there are too many. Every day, I have to look for rotten vegetable leaves everywhere to feed them, and mix them with cornmeal.
On the fourth day of the New Year, Ke Xin found Xiao Wu and took some gifts to Baizhao Village. However, when someone heard that they were going to another man's house and there was no hostess at home, he would be angry with her for several days.
Ke Xin shook her head: "Go, go, let's go together. Look at your narrow-mindedness. How can you run away after I'm married?"
"That's not certain. What if you divorce your husband and then marry again? What if that person doesn't mind?" Liu Feiyang snorted, "These days, some people like older men. After all, older men are charming, even if they're a little poor."
Ke Xin licked her lips. She really shouldn’t have told him some modern things. Look, isn’t this something he is learning and applying right away?
She sneered: "Sometimes, men with big penis and good sexual performance are also popular with rich women!" After that, she turned around and got on the carriage, leaving Liu Feiyang behind and fell into deep thought.
Along the way, Liu Feiyang was discussing with Kexin what a big penis meant, whether it was what he thought, and also asked her if her job was good or not... It was not until they arrived at Baizhao Village that Liu Feiyang stopped talking.
Baizhao Village is a village with only fifty households. The archway is an important symbol of the village. However, the half-missing archway in front of us has only one white word on it, and the remaining half is nowhere to be seen.
Ke Xin looked at Xiao Wu: "Is this Baizhao Village?"
Xiao Wu nodded affirmatively: "Yes."
Well, when their Anjia Village was the poorest, the archway was still intact. Compared with the poverty of their own village, which was called a special hardship village, this village was poor.
It's Chinese New Year, and it should be a lively scene, but there is no one on the streets. I think it's because they are all staying at home during the winter because of the cold, or they are just gathering at someone's house to chat with a few good friends.
Under Xiaowu's guidance, they finally found the village chief's house. But the front door was closed, and the yard was empty. There was nothing there. The mice would leave in tears. There was nothing to steal.
It wasn't just Ke Xin who was shocked. Even Liu Feiyang beside her was surprised. He knew they were poor, but he didn't know they were this poor.
Ke Xin and Liu Feiyang went straight into the yard, and Liu Feiyang called out, "Is Village Chief Bai home?"
It wasn't that he didn't knock, but he was afraid that if he knocked down the remaining door, anyone would be able to enter the yard. So he simply stood in the yard and called for help to ensure it was safe.
