Wang Heng finished speaking and shot him a disdainful glance.
Wang Zhaoran was so furious he nearly spat blood. He regretted taking in this little brat from the very beginning; it was simply asking for trouble!
By noon, the villagers had started to arrive one after another.
"Ah, Village Chief, Village Secretary, come, come, sit at this table!"
A few eager women had already begun to help set things up, saving a lot of trouble.
There were about ten tables set up in the courtyard, and several more inside the house. However, there were too many people; those who arrived late had no choice but to squat by the wall, waiting for the meal to begin.
Men, women, and children in the yard were cracking sunflower seeds and chatting away, creating a lively atmosphere.
Before long, dishes began to arrive one after another. The villagers seemed to be chatting casually, but their eyes kept darting towards the food.
The aroma of the dishes was simply too tempting, making everyone's mouths water.
Frozen pears and frozen persimmons were placed in large jars!
Zhan Dou Bao is out of the pot!
The golden Zhan Dou Bao was steaming as it came out of the pot, each one filled with homemade red bean paste that was particularly sweet and fragrant.
At that moment, regardless of age, everyone forgot their manners and gulped down their saliva.
Braised Roe Deer Meat and Cold Pig Skin Jelly—make way, let me put this down!
Stir-Fried Rabbit Meat and stewed mountain chicken with mushrooms are here!
The sumptuous dishes came one after another, filling the entire farmhouse courtyard with delightful scents.
The villagers were stunned by this scene; what kind of era was this that they could eat like this? It was too extravagant!
Each table had at least a dozen dishes, ending with a plate of dumplings filled with pickled cabbage and pork.
The Village Chief wore a serious expression; he prided himself on being different from the other villagers—after all, he was an official and needed to maintain some authority.
The other Village Cadres followed suit; having attended meetings in the county before and dined at State-Owned Hotels, they considered themselves worldly individuals and couldn't act like the other villagers who seemed ready to dive into the food.
However, they didn't expect that during the final segment of distributing cigarettes and alcohol, even the Village Cadres would let their guard down.
Boxes of Da Chan Brand Cigarettes were torn open, with a few thrown onto each table; in an instant, they all found their way into the villagers' pockets.
Many people didn’t even want to smoke them; they usually smoked dry tobacco. Even if they had seen such rolled cigarettes before, who would be willing to buy them?
When it was the turn of the Village Cadre's table, the moment the cigarettes were placed on the table, they were snatched away. Everyone was smiling and laughing, except for the Village Head.
What a shame! The Village Head continued to maintain his composure, muttering under his breath, regretting only that he had been too slow to act. As the head of the village, how could he stoop to fighting with ordinary people for cigarettes? That would be too degrading. But those were rolled cigarettes, and he wanted them too. So, he shot a glance at his Daughter-in-law at the next table, signaling her to just take them directly to avoid losing out.
While no one could snatch the bottle of liquor from each table, they could certainly grab the sugar cubes! As soon as it was time to distribute the sugar cubes, the Village Head's Wife sprang into action with lightning speed, sweeping all the sugar cubes from both tables in an instant.
Everyone at those two tables was stunned. What just happened? They saw a figure darting back and forth between the two tables, and in the blink of an eye, all the sugar cubes had vanished! The Village Head watched his wife move like a blur, collecting all the sugar cubes into her pockets, and he could hardly contain his smile.
As they were about to start the feast, Yu Songbai stood on a few bricks in the center of the courtyard, looking around and loudly announcing: "Today is a great day! First of all, I want to thank everyone for coming!" Just as he was about to continue with a lengthy speech, he caught sight of his father Yu Xinbei mouthing something that seemed to suggest letting the Village Head say a few words.
Yu Songbai understood immediately and continued: "On such an important day, let's invite our Village Head to say a few words! Everyone, please give him a round of applause!"
In an instant, applause erupted in the small courtyard, even moving the Village Head himself. It was worth noting that he had never experienced such an atmosphere when rallying everyone for meetings or gatherings!
