CHAPTER XXXI
The applause stopped, and Secretary Pan said: "The two of them said it well, not only said the level, but also expressed their thoughts and embodied their wisdom. Mr. Luo, I believe that your promise to the villagers will soon be fulfilled, and the development of Changlong Village will allow the villagers to work at their doorstep, so that the grandfathers and mothers-in-law will no longer endure the torment of separation between the two places. β
"Great!" A mother-in-law's voice came out of the crowd, everyone followed the reputation, and saw that it was Liu Yulian who spoke, and was attracted by her arrogant voice for a while, "The mother-in-law of Changlong Village doesn't look forward to anything else, but only hopes that the whole family's life is getting better and better, and they will have their own grandfathers by their side every day." But now that life is better, there are fewer people around me who live a good life, and this life is not steady, and my heart is panicked!"
"It's not!" Huang Cuicui raised her voice, "The master is not around, the mother-in-law's heart is ten times more bitter than Huang Lian, even if she has money in her pocket, she doesn't have a solid one to spend with her, and she always feels like she lacks arms and legs in this day, which is not a taste." β
Leng Ziyue, Li Jiahan, Zheng Mengyi, Xu Zhixianγγγ and several mothers-in-law who can't be named all rushed to speak to express their dependence on and longing for their masters.
Secretary Pan twisted his eyebrows and listened quietly, and from time to time he also directed the audio and video recordings of the TV station. Seeing that the mother-in-law stopped talking, he cocked his thumb and said: "On the first day of the new year, I want to praise all the female comrades in Changlong Village, and wish all the female comrades who stayed behind a happy reunion and family happiness in the New Year!
Another mother-in-law on the field called out: "We don't work hard, we just hope that the master will go home early, accompany his mother-in-law every day, kiss his mother-in-law, hug his mother-in-law, and don't let his mother-in-law be abducted by you gentlemen." β
The cry sparked a storm of laughter and applause.
Leaving the meadow, Yi Jinren and Luo Xifeng accompanied Secretary Pan and Deputy County Magistrate Liu to inspect the Changlong River Water Park, Changlong Reservoir Fishing Club, Gentian Stone Forest, Longxu Hot Spring and Qingfeng Village construction sites that are still under construction on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and extended New Year's greetings to the workers who still stuck to the front line on the first day of the New Year, and distributed condolences to them. When we returned to the distribution center, it was past noon. Yi Approach, Luo Xifeng insisted on keeping Secretary Pan and Deputy County Magistrate Liu for a New Year's reunion dinner, but they refused to stay at all.
Secretary Pan whispered: "On the first day of the new year, I will eat and drink below, and you will let the people think and say whatever they want." β
Yi Approachable brought out the rules of the ancestors: "According to the rules set by the ancestors of Changlong Village, all guests who come to the village on the first day of the Lunar New Year must have a reunion dinner before leaving, otherwise it is a great disrespect to the villagers, and the villagers will be banned from entering Changlong Village forever if they know it." β
Secretary Pan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "It seems that Changlong Village is not only rich in natural resources, but also rich in folk culture!
"Of course, of course. The approachable man smiled and nodded.
Luo Xifeng said quickly: "From the perspective of folklore, this is the case. However, you are the secretary of the county party committee, even if you don't follow the customs, the villagers will not dare to do anything to you, but this will affect your image in their minds. β
"γγγ" Secretary Pan hissed a few times, "Are you provoking me?"
Luo Xifeng snickered, and couldn't hold back a laugh for a while: "Don't dare, I'm just a kind reminder." β
Secretary Pan thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." β
Yi Approachable and Luo Xifeng bowed sideways almost at the same time, making a gesture of please.
Secretary Pan beckoned to his entourage and went straight to the food hall with Yi and Luo. Qin Cong, Li Jiahan, Liu Yulian, Leng Ziyue, Li Jiahan, Zheng Mengyi, Xu Zhixian and other mothers-in-law have long been waiting in the hall. As soon as Secretary Pan entered the hall, the lights suddenly brightened, the music suddenly sounded, and the mothers-in-law lined up and bowed to say hello. Li Jiahan took a step forward with a microphone in his hand: "Secretary Pan, Deputy County Magistrate Liu, and leaders, everyone has a happy New Year! First of all, on behalf of the 2,600 villagers of Changlong Village, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and warm welcome to Secretary Pan, Deputy County Magistrate Liu, and all the leaders for following the customs of the township! Second, please take your seat, drink traditional wine, taste traditional food, watch traditional dramas, and accept the New Year blessings from the people of Changlong Village! I wish the leaders good health, smooth work, and happy families! At the beginning of the banquet, please enjoy the traditional repertoire of dragon lantern dance while tasting the delicious food. β
The lights in the hall are dim or bright, the dragon lantern dance music sounds, and the mothers-in-law hold the dragon lantern and dance. The eyes of the leaders were focused on the mothers-in-law, and the table full of delicacies was cold. Luo Xifeng quietly asked Yi Jinren whether he should let the leaders enjoy the dragon lantern or taste the food first? Yi Jinren whispered to her, "Let's sing and harmonize with the mother-in-law of the performance, they don't sing, we don't sing, they don't sing, we sing." After a while, the music stopped, the lights went out and turned on again, and the dancing mother-in-law disappeared in an instant, and now it was the turn of Yi and Luo to sing!
Approachable people go first: "According to folk customs, it's time to drink after the performance, please raise your glass and drink the first glass of gala wine." β
The leaders hesitated and did not dare to drink.
Secretary Pan took the lead in drinking and said: "Drink, drink, isn't it just a glass of wine, and it is also our job to have fun with **." β
Next, it was time for Luo Xifeng to sing the leading role, she drank three glasses of wine in succession without saying a word, and then hugged her fists and said: "According to the customs of Changlong villagers, this second glass of wine has to be toasted by the mother-in-law, and it has to be toasted three times as much as the guests, I drink three and you drink one." β
Now there is nothing to say, Secretary Pan smiled at everyone: "Drink it!"
Another glass of wine fell into his stomach, and Deputy County Magistrate Liu couldn't help but speak: "Changlong villagers are rich in folk culture, this is also a treasure of Changlong, for traditional customs, we have the obligation to respect, Mr. Luo, today when we open our eyes, what customs can be shown!"
As soon as the words fell, the lights went out again, and then the oldest song in Changlong Village, "Toasting Song", sounded. The lights suddenly turned on, and more than a dozen mothers-in-law such as Li Jiahan and Qin Cong carried pots and cups, danced the ancient toasting dance of Changlong Village, and surrounded the leaders in the middle. The leaders widened their eyes and salivated one by one, and their minds were all attracted by the dancing and beauty of the mothers-in-law.
Li Jiahan sang the "Toast Song" again, and received a round of applause and applause. After the singing, the music started, and she said: "Dear Secretary Pan, Deputy County Magistrate Liu, and leaders, according to the folk customs, this third cup of wine is called Friendship Wine, and we will be destined to be people, friends, and relatives from now on!"
The mother-in-law carried the pot and poured the wine, and when the wine was poured, they raised their glasses with both hands, looked up, and poured the wine into their mouths slowly and continuously. It's over, and the wine glass is turned upside down and shakes.
Secretary Pan gave the order again, and dried up all the wine that was so affectionate and righteous.
The wine was drunk, the food was tasted, and it was supposed to be time for the feast to disperse. Secretary Pan opened his mouth, and when he was about to announce the dismissal, the lights in the hall dimmed, and then the song sounded, and the singer Luo Xifeng, the song title "Please Keep the Guests", this is another traditional song in Changlong Village. Now, the atmosphere in the hall is alive again. The mothers-in-law extended their hands to the leaders one-on-one, and the food hall became a dance hall. Flickering lights, heartbreaking songs, romantic dancing, and sweet laughter γγγ add to the New Year's flavor and lively atmosphere of Changlong Village.
After the Spring Festival, the Spring Girl fell in love with Changlong Village early, and put on the green clothes of spring to Changlong Village, bringing the vitality of spring. Seven villager groups of 10,000 acres of rapeseed grow gratifyingly, full of hills, full of slopes, hills and hills layer by layer, making Changlong Village a sea of green. Coincidentally, the development of mountain water sightseeing tourist attractions is also nearing completion. Yi Jinren and Luo Xifeng discussed, and strive to complete the construction of various tourist attractions and open them to tourists when the 10,000 acres of rape flowers are in full bloom.
However, just when the work of Changlong Village was progressing smoothly, Yijin received a registered letter from Shenzhen, the sender only wrote a Hu character, there was no one surnamed Hu in Changlong Village, this letter was either sent by someone surnamed Hu, or it was a false and anonymous letter with ulterior motives and hidden conspiracy. The content of the letter was even more jaw-dropping, just one sentence, the gentlemen of Changlong Village went to the nightclub to prostitute en masse, and each was fined 5,000 yuan and detained for half a month. The approachable person didn't believe it, and immediately called Yamaki to confirm the authenticity, Yamaki didn't squeak for a long time, and the approachable person asked, Yamaki said it was true, and said that he must hide it from his mother-in-law and not let them know.
Yi Approachable shouted at the phone: "How did I explain to you when I went, I must protect them and protect them, but have you done it? Now that something has happened, the anonymous report letters have arrived with me, can you guarantee that you can hide from them? They are shrewd one by one, and they want to join forces, I am not their opponent at all, and I want to hide from them." Besides, you can guarantee that the whistleblower will not tell them the truth in person. β
On the other end of the phone, Yamaki's voice said: "What should I do? What if I let my mother-in-law know about the divorce?"
The approachable person replied: "You let the master think of a way to deal with it first, and here I want to think of a way, hang up." β
As soon as Yi Jinren hung up the phone, the door of the office was pushed open, and Luo Xifeng, Li Jiahan, and Huang Cuicui stood at the door.
