"Lao Xia, after listening to what Director Wang said, whether our village can live a good life in the future depends entirely on your son Ah Sheng, you have to keep a close eye on him, hahahaha..."

"Ah Sheng, work hard, if there is anything Uncle Ma can help with, just come to me."

"Dong Hai, if it were me, you should solve Ah Sheng's lifelong event first, so that the child can help the village with publicity without any worries, don't you think?"

"Hey, what's the difficulty? Lao Xia's daughter is a famous university student, and Ah Sheng is now an outstanding youth representative here. The two of them are so well matched. I think we should not even talk about being godsons, it's better to just let him be our godson. Old Xia is going to make things even more intimate, and let Asheng be recognized as his son-in-law."

"Okay, Zhang Laba. You are usually the one who doesn't speak reliably, but today's idea is impeccable."

"Why do I feel that Old Xia's godson is chosen according to the standard of finding a son-in-law, but we old friends don't know it, hahaha..."

"This is a good thing. It happens that Director Wang is here today. Otherwise, let's help Asheng get this done together. What do you think, leader?"

Hearing the villagers joking with each other, Wang Defa couldn't help but turn his head and look at Xia Donghai and Fu Chaosheng.

Xia Donghai's face was filled with an indescribable smile, and Fu Chaosheng stood beside him a little stiffly.

"Master Xia, which one of these is your daughter? I didn't pay much attention to her when I came home last time. Can you call her out so that I can recognize her?"

As soon as Wang Defa finished speaking, he saw Xia Xiaotao being pushed out of the crowd by Sun Yuwei and Du Xiaoyue.

"Director Wang, this is my sister Xiaotao, and also the wife-to-be of Brother Asheng."

Sun Yuwei's unexpected joke not only made the neighbors present burst into laughter, but also made Xia Xiaotao, who was already a little embarrassed, blush with shame.

Xia Xiaotao lowered her head and took a few steps back to Xia Donghai, then uttered a few words with difficulty.

"Director Wang... Hello, I'm Xia Xiaotao."

"Hello, Xiaotao. Last time I heard Ah Sheng say that you are the one who manages his Douyin account?"

"Yes, Director Wang."

"You are quite capable. I'm counting on you to make Xiagang Village popular in the future."

Hearing Wang Defa complimenting her like this, Xia Xiaotao was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Don't make fun of me, Director Wang. I am responsible for doing chores for my brother. If you want to count on him, you have to count on him."

"Hahaha, Ah Sheng is quite capable, but if you hadn't been behind the scenes, his account wouldn't have been able to operate so well. Besides, you two are so young and willing to stay in the village to develop, which is rare in itself. Work hard in the future and strive to bring everyone in Xiagang Village up."

"Okay, Director Wang."

Xia Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief immediately after she finished speaking. She thought to herself that it was a good thing that Wang Defa talked to her about these things, otherwise she would have to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just as she was thinking, Wang Defa suddenly asked her:

"Xiaotao, did you hear what your uncles and aunts said just now?"

"Ah... heard... what did you hear?"

"Of course it's about you and Asheng. Look, your father just recognized Asheng as his godson, and Asheng is an outstanding youth representative here. Moreover, I have hired him as a tourism promotion ambassador today. If you agree to him now, your family will have four happy events. Don't you agree?"

Seeing Wang Defa taking the lead in matchmaking, the villagers followed him to tease Xia Xiaotao and Fu Chaosheng.

"Director Wang is right. As the saying goes, you should get married first and then start a career. Ah Sheng, you have to hurry up on this matter. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."

"Oh, Lao Nian, what's the point of urging Ah Sheng? In the end, Dong Hai's daughter has to agree to this matter. As long as Xiao Tao has no problems, then things will be done smoothly, right?"

"Oh, yes, yes, after all, he is a live-in son-in-law! But I don't think Xiao Tao is reluctant now. Since he doesn't say anything, it means that he has acquiesced."

"Hahaha, that's a good relationship. It won't be long before Then I can drink at the wedding again!"

"Old Ma, you haven't even had this meal yet, and you're already planning for the next one. If you want to drink, find one for your daughter, hahaha."

"You think I don't want her to find one? The key is that I've told her so many times, but that damn girl won't move. If one day she can bring me a capable son-in-law like Xiaotao, I'll treat the villagers to three days of drinking, not to mention one meal."

"Just brag. You're talking nonsense before we even drank the wine, haha."

………

Listening to the villagers' various opinionsIt was quite lively. Wang Defa saw that Xia Xiaotao and Fu Chaosheng were both a little embarrassed, so he said something to smooth it over:

"Fellow villagers, we have already said what we should say. What happens next depends on their actions. We should also give the young people more time. I hope that we can drink the wedding wine of Ah Sheng and Xiaotao in a short time. What do you think?"

As soon as Wang Defa finished speaking, the villagers cheered.

When the atmosphere calmed down a little, Xia Donghai hurriedly invited Wang Defa and others to sit down and start the meal.

Wang Defa originally planned to return to the town after delivering the engagement letter to Fu Chaosheng, but Xia Donghai's family was too kind to refuse, so he had to eat casually with Qi Bin.

Although the village banquet was not as exquisite as the ones in high-end hotels, the taste was not inferior at all, and it was also delicious and filling.

So within one or two minutes of the meal, the cold dishes on the table had been swept away by the villagers.

Cui Dayong, who was in charge of cooking, was always aware of the situation on the table. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, he ordered the kitchen to start serving hot dishes.

In this way, the courtyard of Xia Donghai's house was suddenly filled with fragrance, and those who were waiting for the next round could not help but swallow their saliva.

At the banquet, apart from occasionally chatting about trivial matters, the neighbors discussed the most about whether the food was delicious and whether it was enough.

This was not only a concern for the villagers, but also for the host family. If everyone was not satisfied with the food, even if they did not say it in person, they would definitely discuss it later. In this way, the reputation of this family in the village would not be very good.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Although this is only in a relatively backward rural area, if you want to set up a decent banquet, you can't just save money.

If you only care about face projects, there will be only two results in the end: one is that it is not delicious, and the other is that you can't eat enough.
