Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"Eh? The ones sitting in the front of the carriage are the second and third sons of the Cheng family, right?"

"That's right! It's them! That's them! The two brothers are back, so Master Cheng must be back too!"

Cheng Erping was driving the carriage and Deng Xiong was sitting next to him. Not long after they entered Pingnan Village, the sound of horse hooves attracted the attention of the villagers.

A woman ran towards the carriage with an excited look on her face, but she didn't dare to get too close. She stopped not far away and asked loudly, "Is Master Cheng back?"

"Yes, it's me. My brothers and I are going back to the village to celebrate the New Year." Cheng Wan opened the carriage window, revealing a smiling face, and said politely: "Aunt, we will go home first. Come visit me when you are free."

"Hey! Hey!" The woman looked at the back of the carriage as it departed, straightened her jacket, touched her hair, and was so excited that she didn't know what to do. Her face was about to break from laughing.

The other villagers were slower in their movements. They came to the woman and saw her happy face. They asked curiously, "What did Lord Cheng say to you?"

The woman originally wanted to show off that Cheng Wan invited her to visit the Cheng family, but she rolled her eyes and felt that such matters should be kept secret among her family, otherwise what if these people insisted on going with her?

Lord Cheng specifically talked to her, and only to her.

It was a pity that the woman didn’t follow him. She didn’t know that Cheng Wan said the same thing to every villager he met on the road…

"Well, I didn't say anything. Don't you know about Master Cheng? He is a very good person. My husband is working in a tofu shop now. I am grateful to Master Cheng. When I see Master Cheng, I am happy! I am happy!" As she spoke, the woman raised her chin slightly, with a not-so-obvious sense of pride, "I will go back first. There is a lot of work to do at home!"

The woman turned around and ran home. She had to go back home to see if she had anything presentable. She couldn't go to the Cheng family empty-handed when she came back to visit.

The remaining villagers looked at each other, turned around and ran home.

Who do you think is stupid?

Lord Cheng has finally come back, why does he have to do this work now?

Just wait and see. If you don’t hurry up, you won’t be able to squeeze into the Cheng family’s gate if you want to get close to Lord Cheng!

It turns out that no one is stupid.

Before Cheng Wan arrived home, the front door of his house was already surrounded by villagers who had received the news.

Even Mrs. Lin and others who came to welcome Cheng Wan and his two siblings home were blocked and almost couldn't get out of the door.

"Stop pushing, stop pushing! Look at what you look like! All of you, stand outside and make a way for the carriage!" Village Chief Wu scolded with a smile.

Village chief Jia, who had been waiting for Cheng Wan to come back and had not yet returned to Lijia Village, kept asking his second son Jia Xiucheng to quickly maintain order among their group.

Anyway, we can't lose to the people from Pingnan Village.

"It's coming! It's coming! The carriage is coming!" a man shouted excitedly.

"Master Cheng!"

"Master Cheng!"

"Master Cheng!"

……

Lord Cheng was silent. He touched his nose embarrassedly and felt a little awkward.

We've only not seen each other for a few days, but you act like we haven't seen each other for years.

Cheng Wan had no idea that the gratitude of the villagers of Pingnan Village and Village Chief Jia and others towards Cheng Wan had reached a peak.

A casual building and two workshops allow these families to have an income even in the hot winter.

And the income is not low.

After the two workshops opened, these people really wanted to say thank you to Cheng Wan in person, but Cheng Wan had gone to the city to work, and they couldn't possibly disturb Cheng Wan from his shift just to say a word of thanks, so the gratitude in their hearts kept accumulating.

Today, at this moment, Cheng Wan has finally returned to the village and is about to appear in front of them, so their emotions are naturally a little out of control.

Old Mrs. Lin stared at the approaching carriage, listening to the deafening shouting, and couldn't help but mutter, "It wasn't like this when we came back this afternoon..."

"Oh, mom, how can you compare with A Wan!" Cheng Erniu asked for a beating again. He said this quickly, grinned, raised his foot and ran forward to follow Cheng Daniu.

He missed his niece too.

Of course, my son thought so too.

With Cheng Erping's "Whoa", the carriage finally stopped, and Cheng Wan lifted the curtain and leaned out under the watchful eyes of everyone.

I don’t know who shouted “Master Cheng!”, and the scene that had just quieted down became noisy again.

Cheng Wan resisted the urge to tap his toes on the ground, with a friendly smile on his face, he raised his arm and waved to everyone, "Thank you all for waiting for me to go home. It's cold outside, everyone go home quickly."

After finally meeting someone, they naturally didn't want to leave before they had even said a few words.

But Cheng Wan personally told everyone to go home quickly, and Village Chief Wu, Village Chief Jia and others also persuaded everyone with emotion and reason, and everyone had no choice but to listen.

But before leaving, everyone insisted on leaving behind a big bowl of meatballs, a frozen fish, a few eggs... that they had brought with them.

Except for the pregnant Xiao Lin, Cheng Daniu and other adults of the Cheng family quickly stepped forward to stop them. Everyone was sincere in their efforts, and the adults of the Cheng family were also sincere in their efforts to stop them, and the two sides almost came to a fight.

"Take all the things back!" Cheng Wan took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his voice.

The chaotic scene was still chaotic. Everyone was busy talking to each other, so no one could hear what Cheng Wan was saying.

"Third brother!" Cheng Wan sighed helplessly and winked at Deng Xiong.

Deng Xiong clenched his fists, and after a moment's preparation, he shouted with all his might, "Stop making noise!"

The crowd fell silent.

Cheng Wan quickly took the opportunity to shout: "I accept everyone's kindness, but I really can't accept the things."

"How can I not have it? Master Cheng, please try my cooking. These meatballs are delicious!"

"Yes, Master Cheng, I saved this frozen fish especially for you!"

"Master Cheng, please accept these things from us. They are not valuable. We are truly grateful to you and want to give them to you!"

……

Cheng Wan stood in the front room of the carriage and pressed his hands down, "Everyone listen to me."

The crowd fell silent.

"Fellow villagers, I am an official now and cannot take things from ordinary people casually, otherwise I will probably be punished."

"what?"

"I am being punished just for picking up two cabbages? This is unacceptable!"

"Master Cheng, you are not lying to us, are you?"

……

Cheng Wan shook his head with amusement and helplessness. After repeatedly explaining to everyone and Mr. Fang who came over later also helped to confirm what Cheng Wan said, everyone reluctantly went home with their things.
