In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 800: Let Me Slaughter a Pig?

"Besides, I'm planning to discuss the wedding date with you properly!"

Huang Li completely disregarded what Zhang Tianniu thought and directly pulled Zhang Tianniu towards the kitchen.

Wu Fang also took Zhang Qing's hand and led her towards the kitchen.

Meanwhile, the three Huang brothers, who had been busy all morning, had finished preparing lunch. When Zhang Tianniu and Zhang Qing came to the kitchen, they saw a table full of white steamed buns. The whole kitchen was filled with a sweet aroma, which made the two of them swallow their saliva involuntarily!

"Xiao Qing!"

Huang Ming's eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Qing. He quickly walked over to Zhang Qing, stuffed a plump white steamed bun into Zhang Qing's hand, and said excitedly, "Xiao Qing, you should try my white steamed bun!"

Huang Ming's action instantly made Zhang Qing blush, and the warmth from the steamed bun in her hand made her feel incredibly pleased.

She had always had feelings for Huang Ming. From childhood to adulthood, Huang Ming had always been extremely good to her. She thought that after Huang Ming became successful, he would no longer look at her...

Unexpectedly, Huang Ming hadn't changed at all and was still as good to her as ever.

This instantly dispelled much of Zhang Qing's anxiety about getting married.

"Xiaoqing, you should try it!"

Seeing that Zhang Qing hadn't started eating, Huang Ming quickly said, "Look how thin you've become! You need to eat more!"

"it is good!"

Urged by Huang Ming, Zhang Qing took a small bite of the steamed bun, and a sweet taste immediately bloomed on her taste buds, making her involuntarily squint her eyes.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Zhang Qing nodded gently. For her, who had been eating bran for a long time, the steamed buns tasted excellent.

"As long as it tastes good!"

Huang Ming nodded in satisfaction, then called to Zhang Tianniu, "Uncle Zhang, come sit down and try the steamed buns we made ourselves!"

"to make!"

Soon, the dining table in the kitchen was filled with people. Huang Ming's family of eight, plus Zhang Tianniu and his daughter, a total of ten people, sat together, enjoying delicious steamed buns while discussing the timing of Huang Ming and Zhang Qing's wedding.

At this point, Huang Ming finally learned that Zhang Qing was about to marry him. Huang Ming did not refuse, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Qing had a different feel to it.

Huang Ming undoubtedly had a great fondness for this girl he had grown up with, and he was naturally very happy to marry her.

Both sets of parents were very enthusiastic about the matter, and soon they agreed on a date. Three days later, Huang Ming and Zhang Qing's wedding was held in the village.

Not only Huang Ming's wedding, but also Huang Shu and Huang Xian's weddings will be held on the same day, where they will marry the daughters of two other families in the village!

…………

…………

Three days later, the entire Linshan Village became lively.

All thirty households in the village turned out to participate in this "grand" wedding, and the whole village was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, creating a lively atmosphere.

The Huang family did not treat the villagers who came to join in the fun unfairly. They set up a banquet in the open space outside their house. Although there was only one dish on the banquet, white steamed buns, it was enough to excite the villagers of Linshan Village.

"Wow, the Huang family has really made it big!"

"Yes! They actually made so many white flour steamed buns!"

"It's delicious!"

"..."

Of course, the Huang family's banquet was not free; guests had to pay a contribution fee to be able to eat.

However, the amount of money given as a gift is not much. Villagers only need to pay a symbolic amount of one copper coin to participate in the banquet and eat white flour steamed buns!

Although the villagers of Linshan Village were poor, they could still afford to spend a penny. After paying a copper coin as a donation, they were able to enjoy the taste of white flour steamed buns.

"These white steamed buns smell so good!"

"I never thought I'd get to eat white flour steamed buns!"

"The Huang family is really good! They even gave us white flour steamed buns after we got married!"

"Huang Ming and his two brothers have really made something of themselves! Huang Li and Wu Fang are going to be able to enjoy life from now on!"

"It's a pity they didn't take a liking to my daughter!"

"..."

On this day, the villagers of Linshan Village were both happy and envious.

They were happy because they were eating delicious white flour steamed buns, and envious because...

The Huang family, which used to be poor and destitute, is now considered prosperous.

Their whole family, including the girl who married into their family, could go to Chenjia Village to enjoy a life of luxury, and they would no longer be the same kind of people as them...

In short, the villagers had mixed feelings, but the delicious steamed buns quickly soothed them, and they became happy again.

…………

…………

It was clear that the Huang brothers were not the only ones who returned to Liangzhou from Chenjia Village; there were also a large number of Liangzhou people who had previously fled famine to Taiping County.

After returning to their hometowns, these people all received similar treatment to the three Huang brothers!

He was old and already had a wife, enjoying the envious glances of the villagers.

Those who were younger and unmarried instantly became the most sought-after men in the village, with matchmakers flocking to their door to propose marriage, almost breaking down their doorsteps.

As these people returned to their hometown, Chenjia Village's reputation gradually spread throughout Liangzhou. Almost all the people of Liangzhou knew that there was such a prosperous place as Chenjia Village, where everyone could eat their fill, dress warmly, and live a happy life.

This has inspired countless people in Liangzhou to have an endless longing for Chenjia Village.

And so, before we knew it, it was December 31st, which was Lunar New Year's Eve.

That day, Fang Yong, who was in charge of staying behind in Chenjia Village, looked at Chen Da in front of him and asked in surprise, "What?! You want me to slaughter a pig?"

Although Chenjia Village gave all workers a ten-day holiday, not everyone was on holiday at the same time. Some key workers needed to stay in the village, otherwise the entire Chenjia Village would have to shut down!

Soldiers like Fang Yong from the Chen family army do get leave, but it's done in batches. About half of the soldiers get ten days off first, while the other half stay in Chen family village until the other group comes back to hand over their leave. Only then can the soldiers get their leave.

That's why Fang Yong stayed in Chenjia Village on New Year's Eve.

Fang Yong had no complaints about this. Although he couldn't go home for the Spring Festival, Chenjia Village hadn't treated them badly. They would enjoy a ten-day holiday after the holiday, no less than others, so naturally he had no complaints.

but……

To Fang Yong's surprise, who stayed behind in Chenjia Village, he would receive such a task on New Year's Eve...

Fang Yong woke up just as dawn broke, put on his armor, and prepared to go out on patrol.

This has been Fang Yong's main job recently: guarding the village entrance and patrolling the village to prevent any trouble from happening.
