Chapter 300: Feast
The old man held a torch with his eyes fluttering, looking at Kong Xiaohong in the car, Kong Xiaohong saw this scene, hurriedly opened the car door, and walked quickly to the old man.
Her voice trembled a little: "Grandma Jiang, it's so late, what are you?" β
Without warning, my heart skipped a beat.
Grandma Jiang handed the torch to the stupid pillar on the side and held Kong Xiaohong's hand with both hands.
"Child, why don't you say goodbye, it's not safe to go at night!"
When Kong Xiaohong heard this, the tears in his eyes flowed down, and his eyes were red: "Grandma Jiang, I, I'm afraid of this parting scene!" β
Like a child.
Grandma Jiang smiled: "Grandma knows that you have been promoted, and she also knows that you can't be the master of this matter, so I don't embarrass you, but if you leave hungry like this, the villagers will be uneasy!" β
Kong Xiaohong hurriedly said, "Grandma Jiang, I'm not hungry!" β
But the head has been lowered a lot.
Grandma Jiang looked at Kong Xiaohong kindly, and shook her head slightly: "Let's go, let's not stop you from leaving, go to eat, and leave when you're full." β
The people on both sides also persuaded: "Yes, county magistrate, let's eat enough before leaving!" β
There was a pleading voice.
Kong Xiaohong knew that he couldn't leave at this time.
He knew that the villagers were reluctant to let him go!
Teary eyes nodded: "Okay, I'm obedient!" βΞΠΈΠͺ.ΕΞοΌ§
After speaking, he looked at the simple faces of the villagers on both sides who were holding torches as street lamps, and the torches reflected the dim streets brightly, and a figure made Kong Xiaohong's heart full of emotion.
"Let's go to dinner."
The driver, Xiao Liu, got out of the car silently and followed behind Kong Xiaohong.
Torches lead the way to a house.
This is the first house built by everyone after the disaster in Songping County, and Kong Xiaohong was deeply impressed.
Grandma Jiang took Kong Xiaohong's hand, for fear that Kong Xiaohong would leave.
Silly Zhu pushed the door open, and the house was brightly lit.
And Kong Xiaohong saw the scene in front of him, and suddenly, the tears that had just stopped flowed down uncontrollably again.
thought that he was already a tough guy, and he was no longer the student baby who lived under the wings of his brother-in-law and sister, but when he saw this scene, he realized that he was not a tough guy.
I couldn't help but use my hand with force.
Grandma Jiang took out a silk handkerchief and wiped away Kong Xiaohong's tears, as if she was treating her own child.
Yes, Kong Xiaohong is their relative.
During this time, the young county magistrate had already conquered all the people of Matsudaira Prefecture.
They all regard Kong Xiaohong as a relative.
The people are the most simple, and whoever is good to them, they will be clear in their hearts and grateful.
A girl on the side handed Kong Xiaohong a pair of chopsticks and looked at Kong Xiaohong with a smile: "County magistrate, don't cry!" Time to eat. β
The gentle voice is refreshing.
Kong Xiaohong took the chopsticks with red eyes and walked to the table step by step.
A table, not a table.
Rather, the tables are put together into a rectangle, and the dish is not a dish.
It's a whole hundred dishes.
Even, Kong Xiaohong has been in Songping for a long time, and he knows that these 100 dishes are not made by one person.
It's a joint effort of the villagers.
The raw materials are also provided by each company.
In the past, only people who were loved, or who were respected by everyone in Matsudaira, would be treated like this.
This ritual on paper should not have appeared for decades.
Kong Xiaohong knows that this is not a dish, but a piece of love.
A respect that is built into the bones.
This is also the greatest recognition of his past work.
Picking up the bowl with his left hand, from beginning to end, Kong Xiaohong tasted one dish after another, and every time he ate a dish, his heart was moved.
Step by step.
There is meat, there are vegetables, and the craftsmanship can't be said to be good, but the taste is indeed the most delicious meal Kong Xiaohong has eaten in his life.
Halfway through, the girl walked behind Kong Xiaohong again.
"County magistrate, this is our Matsudaira wine, it has been hidden for twenty years, even the flood has not touched him, you can taste it."
Kong Xiaohong red-eyed and said, "Okay, I'll try it!" β
The voice was a little harsh.
He had tried his best to control it, and he knew that he couldn't cry because Matsudaira had a rule that he couldn't cry when he was eating.
Kong Xiaohong drank it all, and his mouth was very soft, this was the best wine he had ever drunk in his life.
Every time Kong Xiaohong ate a dish, the girl followed beside him, whispering how this dish was made.
Whoever made it, whose thing was used.
The chirp is as crisp as a lark.
And the eyes of the villagers also moved with Kong Xiaohong step by step.
However, there is a feast in the world, Kong Xiaohong drank the last bowl of wine and ate the last bite of food!
He said in a difficult voice: "Folks, thank you!" β
Bow to the end!
"I, I ......"
I wanted to say goodbye, but I left, and I couldn't say anything.
He even had an urge not to leave.
But that's not realistic.
Grandma Jiang walked to Kong Xiaohong's side with a smile: "Child, let's go, otherwise it will be really late!" β
"It's dark and the road is slippery, stay safe, remember... Come home often! β
Kong Xiaohong's nose was sour.
Nodding fiercely: "Yes, Matsudaira is also my home!" It is a home that we have built brick by brick! β
Gone, this time it's really gone.
Kong Xiaohong got into the car without hesitation, not because he was ruthless, but because he was really about to endure to the limit, and if he didn't leave, his tear ducts would explode.
The roar of the car was so loud in the silent night, Xiao Liu asked, "County magistrate, are you leaving?" β
The scene just now shocked him.
It's a scene I'll never forget.
Kong Xiaohong nodded fiercely: "Go!" β
The car moved slowly, and so did the torches behind it.
Kong Xiaohong looked back from time to time, he knew that it was the villagers who were sending him off for the last time.
But then Kong Xiaohong stopped looking at it ruthlessly, but the bright torch kept burning, and there was only a crackling burning sound under the entire night sky, and a red light lit up.
Although Kong Xiaohong no longer looked at it, he was extremely relieved, serving as an official for one term and benefiting one party, he fulfilled his promise to his brother-in-law.
I am also right in my own conscience.
However, the bright candlelight, whether Kong Xiaohong sees it or not, is there, the light that guides people home!
It is also the most sincere thing that Matsudaira Prefecture, which is poor and white, can come up with.
And the driver Xiao Liu also heard the cry, which became louder and louder, he didn't laugh, some just had a strong admiration!
