On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the year, all the people in Zhaojia Village flocked to the Guanyin Temple.

There are so many people who burn the first incense there every year that it can be said that they are clamoring to be the first one.

Therefore, many people stayed up all night and then came here to queue up in the middle of the night.

It is said that the higher your ranking, the more effective your wish will be.

Many people cannot compete for the first place, so they all come to compete for the top 50.

However, this time the first place was taken away by the people from Zhaojia Village.

It was the butcher Zhao Tiezhu, the man who was as strong as a tower in the village and ranked first in fighting power.

This guy hasn't married yet, so many people who know him speculate that he is here to seek a marriage partner.

At this time, he was guarding there, and people from all over the place did not dare to take his position.

However, when Zhang Yaoyang appeared here with his family, he was heard shouting loudly.

"Village chief, come quickly, this incense stick is yours, don't miss it!

When everyone saw this, they all looked at him with contempt, probably thinking that this was the village chief who was enslaving people so much that they had to queue up for him to reserve a spot.

As a result, the second, third...the top ten were all from Zhaojia Village, and without exception, they all invited Zhang Yaoyang's family to come.

This was a bit too much and instantly caused a lot of people to be dissatisfied and sarcastic.

"Bah! Some people are so shameless. They think they have a little power, so they beat us low-level people to death. Do they think they are the masters? If you have the guts, tell us your name and we will report it to the township government. Let the people above take a good look at how this village chief is done."

"These people are really stupid. They do whatever they are told to do. They are more obedient than the slaves in the old society."

"Oh my god, what era is this? I still encounter such a thing. It's really like a knife cutting my butt. It's really an eye-opener."

……

These people's words instantly ignited the anger of the people in Zhaojia Village.

"Clear your mouths, our village chief didn't know anything about this. We are the ones who are willing to line up for him voluntarily."

"You stupid people know nothing. Our village chief is the best village chief in the world. Why don't you open your eyes and see which village those rows of tractors parked over there belong to?"

"Our village chief has made our villagers rich. Let alone lining up for him, even setting up a longevity tablet for him is something we would be happy to do. What is it to you to interfere?"

……

After the argument, these people even showed off the watches on their wrists.

The look of those nouveau riche made those who made sarcastic remarks feel very embarrassed.

If the village chief of their village could also let them live such a good life, they would be willing to do so, not to mention just queuing up! They would even be willing to kowtow to him!

Unfortunately, comparing yourself to others will only make you feel miserable. Their village chief knows nothing and now everyone is living in extreme poverty. During the New Year, there is no smell of oil, let alone eating meat or drinking wine.

Zhang Yaoyang looked at the envious and jealous eyes of the people in the queue. To be honest, he didn't have to be the first to burn incense. He himself didn't believe in these gods and Buddhas. So, in front of those people, he politely declined the first position.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow villagers. You have worked hard to get this place by queuing up. You should be allowed to go in first. I will not compete with you!"

"We've invited a folk art troupe to come to the village to give a consolation performance. After you burn incense, you must go back early so you don't miss it."

Then he said to the people from the neighboring villages who were queuing up, "We will have a ten-day opera performance in Zhaojia Village. You are all welcome to come and play. It's all free welfare, no money required."

After saying that, he went to the back of the line and slowly queued up.

Nowadays, people who seldom watch movies are naturally very happy about this kind of opera performance. It is a great event that may not come across once in three to five years.

I didn't expect Zhaojia Village to be so generous and invite so many people to perform for ten days at once.

Although it was the coldest time of the year, there were so many people who wanted to go and see it that nothing could stop them from joining in the fun.

Those who had been making sarcastic remarks now had nothing to say and could not help but sigh.

"Alas... no wonder they can become rich. Look at how they handled this matter. It's so open and generous. It makes us seem a little too mean."

"Yes, the one ranked first is willing to do it, and even invites us to watch the show. I just... judged him by my own standards."

"Or... let's just apologize to them, otherwise, it would seem like we are ignorant."

Zhang Yaoyang's move really won him a lot of favor, which was also expected.

In fact, people of this era are still the purest. They don’t have any ulterior motives, and their likes and dislikes are expressed in the most direct way. They are the easiest people to get along with.

At the same time, they are also the group of people with the lowest material desires and the easiest to satisfy.

He just casually gave some benefits, and these people already regretted it so much, tut tut...

Unfortunately, he is not interested in this small mountain village and cannot stand out too much. It is enough for him to manage Zhaojia Village well. If he wants to take care of people in the surrounding area, it is not that he does not have the ability to do so, but... the responsibility is too great.

It will be difficult for him to extricate himself by then.

Moreover, at any time, you should not do things too much. It is best to leave room for maneuver.

I was thinking about something in a trance, and suddenly I saw a somewhat familiar figure in the crowd.

Although she was wearing a large flowered cotton jacket commonly worn by villagers, her ponytail still made her stand out in the crowd.

Zhang Yaoyang couldn't help but stare in amazement.

In my memory, that woman was as proud as the scorching sun, with her ponytail swinging as she walked.

"Second brother... who are you looking at? You look so dumbfounded? Are you looking at someone else? That person does look a bit like Sister Fengjiao, hehe..."

Zhang Anxin started to make fun of Zhang Yaoyang.

She also felt that the man's back looked a lot like Yu Fengjiao, but how was that possible? The mountain was blocked by snow and she had no courage at all. She didn't have the guts to take the risk of driving back.

Even Qian Yu was frightened by the thrill of the journey and was traumatized. He vowed never to act so impulsively again.

Moreover, when they were eating hot pot last night, they did not see anyone from the Yu family appear in the village.

So, it must be someone who looks similar, how could it be Yu Fengjiao.

She couldn't see the person's face, so she made the decision arbitrarily.

But Zhang Yaoyang is not like that. He has a system to help him identify people. All he needs is a glance, and all the information about the other party will be revealed.

Not to mention that he couldn't see her face, even if she was disfigured and only a few bones were left, and was burned to ashes, Zhang Yaoyang would still be able to recognize her.

No wonder, no wonder he made many calls to Kyoto these days, but no one in his family answered the phone.

He thought they were going somewhere to play, visit relatives, or travel, or even go somewhere farther, abroad.

Who would have thought that when I looked back, this person was right next to me.

What was even more unexpected was that the other party brought back a man who was suspected to be her fiancé. This was a bit... heartbreaking!
