Rebirth of the Rising Sun

They walked on the land of Wangge Village for the whole morning. When it was almost noon, the five of them returned to the village. At this time, Wang Ruihua's parents had already prepared mutton soup and were waiting for the guests to come.

As the deputy county chief, Feng Sizhe was definitely a high-ranking official in Wangge Village. For many years, no one higher than him had come to the village. For this reason, Wang Tianpei and Yu Aiying, Wang Ruihua's parents, stood at the door to welcome him very early.

Wang Ruihua's family's conditions can be considered average in the whole Wangge Village. Maybe it's because Wang Tianpei and his wife are hardworking. Anyway, their house is not small and is made of bricks, which is much better than some nearby adobe houses. If the family conditions were not good, how could they afford to send Wang Ruihua to school and give him a good education?

Feng Sizhe walked up to Wang Tianpei and Yu Aiying with a smile, and called them uncle and aunt, which immediately made the two elders very happy. In their eyes, Feng Sizhe was the county leader. To use the ancient words, he was the Justice of Yu Dahu County. Even the Justice called them uncle and aunt, and this honor immediately illuminated their hearts and made them very happy.

The few of them quickly sat down in the small courtyard of the house. The houses in the rural areas of Dahu County are basically like this, very spacious and covering a large area. As long as you have money and open space around, you can expand the courtyard at any time. This is also the reason for the imperfect system. Anyway, if you don't plan to get the real estate certificate, then naturally no one will care so much about you.

Some small chairs had been placed there long ago. Feng Sizhe politely invited Wang Tianpei and Yu Aiying to sit under the main seat first, and then he sat down steadily. His humility, courtesy, respect for the elderly and love for the young immediately won praise from the others. Nowadays, officials are all very arrogant, and it is rare to find a cadre like Feng Sizhe who can quickly get along with ordinary people and respect them very much.

The mutton soup on the table exuded a rich aroma. After walking for a whole morning, everyone was indeed a little hungry. Moreover, they knew that Feng Sizhe was not a rigid leader, so they started to eat freely while chatting and laughing. They enjoyed the meal very much. At least for Feng Sizhe himself, he ate three large bowls of mutton and three pancakes.

The more the guests eat, the more delicious the food they cook is. Wang Tianpei and Yu Aiying smiled happily when they saw this. They asked Feng Sizhe to come to their house today because their daughter worked for him and they needed to establish a good relationship with him. It was also the time to fulfill their hospitality. On the other hand, they also wanted to ask Feng Sizhe about their son's affairs.

The two old people already knew that their eldest son Wang was arrested for causing trouble at the county government during his visit to China, but they knew it, and they really couldn't do anything about it. Who let their son break the law? He deserved to be arrested, but it was a bit intriguing that he was arrested for such a long time. His son did nothing wrong, but fortunately he was found in time and didn't make any big mistakes. It stands to reason that he should be criticized and educated, and detained for a few more days. Why is there still no news after more than half a year? There must be a solution. It seems unreasonable to lock him up for no reason, right?

The two elders have been worried about Wang's visit to China all along, but they are farmers and have not seen much of the world. The highest-ranking cadre they have ever seen is the township head. Due to their limited knowledge and few acquaintances, they have no chance to interrupt. Now that a county head has finally arrived, they naturally want to keep the matter under wraps.

After the meal, everyone sat in the courtyard to rest and chat. Wang Tianpei, as the host, was of course also sitting here. Then, as they chatted, the topic turned to Wang Tianpei.

"Uncle, how many people are there in your family?" Feng Sizhe smiled and took out a high-end cigarette and handed it to Wang Tianpei. He didn't like smoking very much, but that didn't mean he didn't carry cigarettes with him. Sometimes when chatting with people, the value of a cigarette was often immeasurable.

He stretched out his hands nervously to take the cigarette handed to him by Feng Sizhe, and said with a silly smile: "In reply to the county magistrate, we are a family of five. Me, the mother, the eldest son Wang Fanghua, the eldest daughter Wang Ruihua, and the second son Wang Lihua."

"Oh." Feng Sizhe nodded. Compared to some ordinary families with four or five, or even six or seven children, Wang Tianpei's family was obviously not bad. "Well, I think uncle's life is still okay. How is it? How much land do you plant and how is the harvest?"

"Well, life is still bearable. Although my family only has me, my mother and Fanghua, I am also a carpenter. When I have nothing to do, I can make furniture for others to supplement the family income. So life is still bearable, but..."
