Chapter 1044
Near noon, the villagers helped clean up for the whole morning. Seeing it was past eleven o'clock, why wasn't the meal served yet?
In normal times, everyone wouldn't be in a hurry at all. Anyway, it's the winter slack season, and many of them only came back after working outside, so it didn't matter when they ate.
But Old Zhu and the others were anxious!
They had eaten good things, and that night they also tasted good wine and food, but the red-braised pork in the kitchen was bubbling, and he, an old man, went into the kitchen wanting to taste it, but didn't get a chance!
Old Li on the side was so angry he couldn't stand it: "They won't let us eat, but they make it so fragrant! If I could eat such things on the mountain, why would I have run so far?!"
It just so happened that Song Sancheng came into the house to get the alcohol stove and heard it, so he couldn't help but be curious: "Old gentleman, you don't raise pigs on the mountain? Gee, that's really strictly managed!"
Once this was said, several old gentlemen didn't make a sound.
Cong Yun and Secretary Wang, who were serving tea and water on the side, also pretended it had nothing to do with them.
But the chatterbox Zhu Xin didn't know anything. At this moment, he just sniffed deeply: "Uncle, when is the meal? This meat is too fragrant..."
While speaking, he clearly forgot about their dogs. As for the two armed police officers beside him, they were also forgotten completely.
After all, rural big stove cooking, the fragrance of the dishes filled the courtyard, who could remember their mission when drooling!
Song Sancheng had to explain: "The city leaders are coming at noon, the last few big dishes will be served when people arrive... if you're hungry, eat some snacks first!"
It's not that they are hungry.
Just greedy.
Not to mention anything else, the snacks of the Old Song family, with a hundred people going into battle, "crunch crunch," a whole bag of rice stalks is about to be eaten empty...
Who is hungry?
Not hungry at all!
Everyone helping to set up tables and chairs in the courtyard is not hungry!
They only know the snacks are really delicious! This is definitely not ordinary stuff either.
For example, this pumpkin dried to the right hardness, you can't stop eating it. Everyone muttered, thinking it's still good to have money!
If everyone had hundreds of millions like Song Tan, they could also buy secret recipes and make this pumpkin dried so delicious... and sell it too!
But everyone saw that the Old Song family doesn't sell pork or pumpkin dried, clearly they are not short of money!
Eating and chatting like this, many people thought about their own affairs, and for a while, their minds were restless.
And at this moment, everyone was looking forward to it, and finally waited for a shiny car by the roadside.
The driver got out of the car first. While turning back to open the door, he suddenly heard a burst of dog barking.
And a buzzing... tricycle sound?
Before the people in the car could get out, he saw a young guy suddenly rush over, then quickly brushed past him, still shouting loudly:
"Princess! Princess!"
City leader Wang Sen, who had just gotten out of the car:...??? What princess?!
Secretary:... What the hell? The old jujube-red tricycle that rode past on the road didn't have a princess sitting on it!
Before he could ask, he saw a few young guys rushing out quickly!
Everyone's eyes were red, their voices were full of emotion, disbelief and joy intertwined on their faces, and finally melted into calls—
"Duo Duo! Duo Duo, I'm here!"
"It's me! Yingjun! Do you still remember me?"
"Cang'er, Cang'er, I've come to see you! Bao'er, are you living well—"
The last loud voice stopped abruptly.
It wasn't just him; the few young guys who rushed over were all a bit silent.
The tricycle with a slightly strange smell stopped slowly by the roadside. Only then did everyone see that there were actually four big dogs sitting in the back of the cart!
As for why they were silent... well, looking at these few dogs with oily and smooth fur, even showing signs of being slightly fat, it's hard to say they aren't living well, right?
A wolf-green dog wearing silver hollowed-out goggles.
A German Shepherd with a slight limp in its hind legs after getting off the cart.
And a Labrador that was very fat, its light golden fur shining oily in the sun!
One could imagine that every bit of fat on its body wasn't eaten in vain.
The last one was slightly smaller in physique, but its ears flapped up and down when it ran, just a rarer Springer Spaniel.
At this moment, these few dogs were wagging their tails, wailing, humming, barking, and howling, surrounding that group of young guys, jumping and leaping. Clearly, excited emotions aren't just for humans.
They were high-spirited, energetic, and their fur was oily and bright, attracting everyone's attention for a while.
Especially that slightly fat Labrador.
It also had a small dark green sachet tied around its neck, echoing its light golden fur, the color scheme was very high-end.
At this moment, it kept biting the man's hand in front of it lightly. The other party touched its head, couldn't help but redden his eyes again, then squatted down, untied the sachet, and took out a button.
The next moment, the other party was stunned.
And then he laughed "pfft."
The sighing expression intertwined with gratification, making his eyes have exceptionally rich emotions:
"Duo Duo, you've been remembering him all along."
"Woof!"
The chubby Labrador barked, then straightened its chest again, signaling him to stuff the button back in.
The scene was lively, everyone gathered around to join the fun, and for a while, no one cared about the car that stopped before and after the tricycle.
Until another car with a camera mounted on the roof came on the road behind, followed by a car with a Ning Province license plate that stopped slowly. A young guy walked out of it.
He got out of the car and smiled:
"Good, good, good! Wu Lei! Your tricycle technique is quite practiced! Going up slopes and down ridges so skillfully, I almost didn't catch up, and got stuck at the intersection for a while following my brother's camera!"
No matter how well the asphalt road was repaired, the rural road is still a rural road. Two cars happened to be next to each other where it was difficult to pass, almost scratching.
And Zhang Chen, who got out of the car, suddenly froze:
"Eh, what are you all doing here? Are you eating outside today?"
The young guy looked around, eager to try:
"My classmate said their hometown is holding a banquet, the courtyard isn't big enough, but the house is close to the roadside. So they eat by the roadside. If there's a car, they move the table to one side and move it back when the car leaves..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a young but capable girl squeeze out of the crowd.
