Thanks to word of mouth from neighbors in the countryside, people from all over the country knew about the banquet held in Hudong Village on August 8.

Local people usually hold banquets for two consecutive days, but during these two days, there is actually no banquet on the previous day. It is just that the villagers and close relatives and friends come over in advance to have a party, and they should also reward the cooks.

For this reason, the meal served on the first day is often called the night before. The meal is usually arranged from noon to evening. If the men are happy, they will drink and chat until late.

The official banquet is the next day. The host's family has been busy since early in the morning. The period from eight or nine o'clock in the morning to noon is the climax of the banquet. If the guests are having a great time eating, drinking and having fun, the banquet may last until the evening.

On August 8, the day when Hudong Village held its official banquet, early in the morning, all men, women, and children in the village, as long as they were in the village, voluntarily walked out of their homes and went to the basketball court at the head of the village to help.

Under the leadership of the old village chief, the men had already built high sheds around the basketball court before dinner the night before, and covered the open-air basketball court with a sunshade roof.

Those who stay in the village are the masters today and must do their best to entertain the guests from outside. People who went out to work passed through the village early and donated money to the village chief and came back to collect their share, which was used as activity funds.

This is a village event and everyone must feel involved. People are coming out, but money must be in place when people are gone.

The collective sense of honor of Hudong Village is fully engraved in the genetic DNA.

The whole village was busy at the basketball court at the head of the village. Even the three key figures, Ning Fanxin, Guan Yaya and Lan Yulin, were arranged by the village chief's grandfather to be responsible for washing and scrubbing the kitchen at the sink.

According to the old village chief, these three people are today's trump cards and must be kept until the last critical moment before they can appear, so it is necessary to hide them to prevent the guests from harassing them prematurely.

Around 8:30, guests began to enter the village. Members of the reception team who had been trained by the village chief’s grandfather hurried forward to greet them: “Welcome to Hudong Village!”

"Oh, fellow villager, congratulations! Your village is really amazing!"

"As soon as we heard that your village was going to host a banquet, we immediately dragged our whole family in to enjoy the good fortune."

"How could you say that your Hudong Village is so arrogant? Look at the scene today. It's not something that an ordinary village can do."

The people in Hudong Village almost had their nostrils pierced by the train, but they said politely and modestly: "Where is it? Thank you for looking at me. Please go inside!"

The guests entered the venue and were immediately warmly received. Those who came in advance were arranged to walk around the village.

We welcomed a dozen visitors in a row, and the time came to 9:30 in the morning.

The villagers of Hudong Village finally discovered that the guests who came today were mainly children, and almost every wave of guests brought a few children.

"Is it possible that these people really brought their children here today to take advantage of their luck?"

"Is there still a day off? Even my maternal family has told me that I will bring my brother-in-law and several children from my sister-in-law's family over today to try their luck on Fanfan and Yaya."

"..."

When the villagers of Hudong Village looked at the army of dolls running around the village, they felt as if they had accidentally fallen into the nest of chickens and ducks in a breeding farm.

Although the people who bring the children will look after the children themselves and do not need them to take care of them, the food and wine prepared in the village are as much as the adults give. It is really troublesome to have such a group of child soldiers now. .

"Don't be confused, go to my house quickly and get some melon seeds and snacks to greet those little kids!" The village chief grandfather, who was wearing a new suit and looked particularly energetic, came over with a pipe and called for people.

I didn't expect that there would be so many children as guests, and the children's snacks were not fully prepared. Fortunately, there is a canteen at his home, and he can still take out ordinary snacks, otherwise he would be passive today.

At noon, the guests had almost arrived, and even the town government and the county government had sent people here, which made the old village chief's hand trembling while holding the pipe, and he felt even more frightened.

He was not surprised that the county school sent people here. After all, Ning Fanxin and the three of them graduated from the county school. People from their alma mater cared about top students, which everyone could understand.

However, their small Hudong village held a private banquet, which actually alarmed the two levels of government above, and even sent representatives to express condolences. What a blessing is this?

After this day, I am afraid that when the folks in these ten miles and eight villages talk about their Hudong Village, they will give a thumbs up even more.
