Chapter 511: Chapter 511: The noble guests have arrived
It\'s not like the old days. Now, if they hold a banquet, everyone in the village will definitely come, as well as those from the surrounding villages who have benefited from the development. Those who haven\'t yet benefited but hope to do so in the future will also come, as well as some people from the town and more and more relatives over the past two years. All in all, there must be at least 800 people, if not 1,000.
Not to mention the trouble, it seems like a way of collecting gifts in disguise, but they really don\'t care about the gifts at this point.
However, reality often defies human will. On the first day of the move, Feng Yiping and his sister, together with Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning, had just arrived home when Feng Zhenchang received a phone call from County Magistrate Zhao himself. The County Magistrate said in an imperious tone that he would come tomorrow to offer his congratulations.
Shortly afterwards, Wang Ganqing\'s phone rang. \'President Feng, this is not very considerate of you. How could you not tell your friends about such an important matter, so that County Magistrate Zhao blames me again for not caring enough?\'
\'No, it\'s really not worth troubling everyone with such a trivial matter,\' Feng Zhenchang hung up the phone, a little puzzled, \'I specifically told Mayor Huang not to tell anyone, so how did they find out?\'
Feng Yiping also found it strange. How did County Magistrate Zhao find out about it?
However, there was no time to ponder such matters. Since both the county magistrate and the mayor were coming, they would at least have to be treated to lunch. The dishes would have to be prepared well in advance, and a good chef would have to be found. Good wine and food, such as Maotai and seafood, were not really available in the town, so they would have to be brought in from the city or the province as soon as possible. Fortunately, the cabinet factory had a truck that made the trip from the town to the provincial capital every day, so it would just be a matter of giving instructions. However, some
Good wine and food, such as Maotai and seafood, are really not available in the town, so they need to be brought from the city or the province as soon as possible. Fortunately, the cabinet factory has a truck that makes the trip from the town to the provincial capital every day, so they just need to give instructions.
However, some things need to be done right away, such as hygiene. Apart from other places, the village office and the factory need to be cleaned properly.
Before he could call his brother, Feng Zhanchang\'s brother, the village chief, called him, and he sounded quite happy, \'The county chief is coming? The town just informed me that they will send a truck of office equipment to the village,\'
Because the county magistrate is coming, they are upgrading the hardware of the village office. Frankly speaking, Feng Yiping and the others did not expect such a cause and effect.
After borrowing the wine and food from the town, and picking up Feng Jiasheng, the neighbour and the cook in the town government, on the way home, Feng Yiping went to Huang Jingping\'s house.
Huang\'s mother happily closed the shop and, together with Huang Jingping, led Feng Yiping to her home. Everyone around them, who should have been listless in the heat of the noontime, was full of energy. They all looked at Feng Yiping with sparkling eyes. They clearly knew who he was, but they still had to ask, \'This is Jingping\'s boyfriend, isn\'t he great? Where is he from?\'
But Huang\'s mother was very taken with this approach and happily answered for Feng Yiping, \'A junior high school classmate of Jingping\'s, Feng Jiachong,\'
Next to her, Huang Jingping was also a little embarrassed, but she didn\'t want to let go of Feng Yiping\'s hand.
Huang Chengzhong also went home for a visit, and he was also a little puzzled, "How did County Magistrate Zhao and Town Mayor Wang know? The family must be ready,\'
\'What\'s so strange about that? How many people care about Yiping\'s family these days? What can\'t you find out?" Huang\'s mother said.
It seemed reasonable. The adults in the town didn\'t know about the mulberry silk base under construction, but the people from the two factories in the town knew about it.
\'Everything is ready. It\'s just that my aunt and uncle, I came here to discuss whether Jingping should go up there tomorrow or not, and pick another day. What do you think?\'
It was originally agreed that Huang Jingping would go up there with her father tomorrow, which was considered a visit, but since the county magistrate would also go tomorrow, naturally he would steal her limelight.
\'No, I can go up and help, can\'t I?\' Huang Jingping said.
\'That\'s good, there\'s a lot going on tomorrow, Jingping can go next time,\' Huang\'s mother pulled her daughter, otherwise tomorrow her daughter and her husband would go up with the county head and come down with the county head, and the main character would definitely be the county head.
\'Then I can\'t go either?\' Huang Qinping said unhappily.
\'You\'re already so busy, what would you add to the chaos?\'
\'I don\'t care about that. This is such an important matter, I really want to go and help,\' Huang Jingping said as she saw Feng Yiping out the door.
It turned out that she hadn\'t been thinking about it.
\'There\'s no rush, next time,\' Feng Yiping squeezed her hand.
Moving house was easy. Except for the clothes, bedding, pots and pans, and other things in the old house, none of it needed to be moved to the new home. Grandpa and the two uncles, who had arrived in the morning, plus the help of the neighbours, moved everything in one go. A long firecracker was set off, and Feng Yiping and the others were able to celebrate their new home.
Feng Yiping looked at the old house behind him, which had become deserted, and felt a little sentimental. From the third grade of primary school to the present, this house had also carried a lot of his past.
\'Let\'s go,\' said Feng Yuxuan, carrying a quilt, "It\'s not being demolished, it\'s still here, isn\'t it?\'
As soon as they entered their new home, Mei Qiuping and the others, led by Feng Jiaseng, the head of the household, got busy. Looking at the facilities in the new kitchen, the young wives who came to help were full of admiration, "Third Auntie, your family has a really nice kitchen!\'
How could it not be nice? Just the kitchen\'s decoration cost more than the living room.
...
Today\'s Feng family is really more lively than usual when they marry off their daughter. If it\'s not something very important, everyone takes a half-day holiday for themselves. The work in the fields can be done tomorrow, but the county magistrate, after this, will be back who knows when.
So, in front of the houses along the road, under the shade of the trees at the village entrance, there are people waiting to see the fun. Several old gentlemen with white hair are feeling sentimental there, \'Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, in our area, there has never been such a big official!\'
Isn\'t that right? In the past, when there were hundreds of feudal lords, none of them would come to this remote corner of the mountains.
"Yes, we all benefit from the light of our great-grandfather\'s house,\'
\'Yes, if his family hadn\'t set up so many factories in the town, how would the county magistrate come to our village?\'
\'You guys are still thinking too shallowly. As long as Uncle San\'s family continues to develop like this, I predict that it won\'t be surprising if the mayor and other high-ranking officials come knocking on the door in the future,\' said a person who was Feng Yiping\'s contemporary.
\'I think you\'re also thinking too shallowly. If their family sets up more factories in the village and builds our village like those first villages and towns mentioned on TV, there\'s a chance that central leaders might come to inspect in the future!\'
This is a guy with ideas!
Out of courtesy, after receiving Cai Lei\'s phone call saying that they had already set off from the town, Feng Zhenchang and Uncle Si, along with Feng Yiping, greeted the county head and his entourage at the village entrance. It was almost ten o\'clock when Wang Ganqing\'s jeep led the way, and a total of four cars came. It seemed that the county head was quite low-key on this trip.
When they saw them waiting by the roadside, the convoy stopped. County Magistrate Zhao looked particularly well, as if he had truly felt the enthusiasm of the villagers along the way. However, after getting out of the car, he greeted them, but didn\'t come over right away, but walked towards the third car. What was going on? Could there be another important leader?
A person jumped out of the third car first and shouted with a smile, \'Yiping,\'
Now Feng Yiping finally understood why County Magistrate Zhao knew the date of their move to their new home. Of course it was because he had heard it from Zheng Jiayi, who had just jumped out of the car.
\'Why didn\'t you say hello in advance?\'
Feng Yiping whispered to his father and uncle about her identity, \'the mayor\'s daughter?\'
Now Feng Zhenchang also understood why County Magistrate Zhao knew and why he had returned. No wonder!
That wasn\'t all. Someone else got out of the car. Feng Yiping looked and hurriedly added, \'The mayor\'s husband,\'
\'Hello, Uncle Zheng. I didn\'t expect to have disturbed you,\'
\'Oh, we\'re presumptuous to come, you don\'t mind, do you?\' Zheng Bozhen said with a smile, \'This must be Brother Feng. Hello, hello. I didn\'t tell you I was coming, I\'m sorry for the trouble!\'
\'Director Zheng, you\'re too polite. I\'m very honoured that you could come. I\'m really sorry to have troubled you with such a trivial matter,\' Feng Zhanchang said, shaking his hand.
\'Not at all. Fang happened to be going to a meeting in the province, otherwise she would have come too. To be honest, brother, I\'ve long wanted to come and see what kind of place can cultivate a talent like Yiping. I can also learn from you about raising children, which is also a science!\'
They were having a lively conversation, while over there, Wang Ganqing, who seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, whispered to Huang Chengzhong, who was sitting in the car with him, \'It seems that the daughter of Mayor Fang is also a classmate of Yiping? You\'re right, this girl is really quite pretty. Look, she looks good standing next to Yiping, doesn\'t she?\'
He finally refrained from saying "well-matched" outright.
On this issue, Huang Chengzhong was not going to tolerate it. \'Yes, an outstanding child like Yiping looks good with anyone, which also shows that my daughter has good taste!\'
\'You really know how to make things difficult for me,\' the adults continued on the bus. Zheng Jiayi no, she wanted Feng Yiping to accompany her all the way back, saying that she wanted to take in the rural scenery. What is there to take in under the hot sun?
\'You all said that moving to a new home is a big deal, right? As friends, of course you should come and join in the fun,\' she said, congratulating them on moving to a new home. Zheng Jiayi obviously took it as a sightseeing tour, and like an idiot, she smiled happily at everyone she met, and then watched Feng Yiping explain their relationship to those people.
Looking at the green pastoral scenery, the simple folks, the family of ducks walking along the road with a few ducklings, and the pigs just rolling around in the mud pond grunting, the chestnuts and persimmons on the trees by the roadside, and the various vegetables in the vegetable garden by the roadside, Zheng Jiayi sincerely said, \'I think this countryside is pretty good!\'
\'Yes, many people also think that the city is too crowded and noisy, and the countryside is quite nice, but in the end, everyone still goes to the city,\'
Earlier, County Magistrate Zhao had received a heartfelt and warm welcome from the masses. Looking at the villagers who excitedly came up one after the other to shake hands with him, he was also very moved. It felt like he was attending a party class.
