However, He Yushui acted confident at this moment. As she listened to Wang Jianguo's chatter, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

Finally, she couldn't help but raised her hand, gently patted Wang Jianguo on the shoulder, and said cheerfully:

"Okay, Brother Jianguo, stop nagging me. I'm a grown-up, not a child who knows nothing."

"I know how to cook and fry dishes, and I know how to arrange them so that everyone can eat to their satisfaction."

"You, stop worrying about it and go do your work."

As he spoke, He Yushui folded his hands, placed them on Wang Jianguo's back, and began to push him out reluctantly.

Her eyes were firm and bright, revealing an unquestionable courage and full confidence in her cooking skills.

"I will prepare this banquet for you beautifully and elegantly, and I guarantee that Director Liu and Director Song will enjoy the meal."

"I will never embarrass you. Just rest assured. Go now and don't waste any more time here."

He Yushui's voice was clear and powerful, echoing in this small space, as if every word carried a magical power that made people feel at ease.

Wang Jianguo was a little amused by He Yushui's constant persuasion, but when he saw her confident look, his worries gradually dissipated.

He realized that maybe he was really worrying too much. He Yushui has always been capable, and since she has already agreed to do this, she will surely be able to handle it properly.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianguo no longer insisted. He obediently allowed He Yushui to push him out of the room.

Coming outside, with the sun shining on his body, Wang Jianguo took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and then walked quickly in the direction of Cheng Hai.

He was ready to devote himself to other busy affairs related to the opening of the supply and marketing cooperative, and entrusted the follow-up matters of the banquet to He Yushui with confidence.

As the warm winter sun gradually rises and approaches noon, the whole village seems to be awakened by an invisible force and becomes extremely lively.

Men, women, young and old in the village, with anticipation and curiosity about a new life, walked towards the newly renovated supply and marketing cooperative one after another.

They were dressed in simple but neat clothes, with simple smiles on their faces. They communicated with each other eagerly, and their laughter and joy were intertwined in the cold air, as if to ignite this cold winter day.

Among the crowd, the village chief of Dali Village, Wang Jiqing, and the village chief of Xiaoli Village, Li Yuan, were particularly eye-catching.

Village chief Wang Jiqing has an upright posture and a resolute face. Time has left deep marks on his face, but it has also given him a sense of calmness and wisdom.

He was wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit and walked with steady and powerful steps. Every step revealed his firm belief in the development of the village.

Li Yuan, the village chief of Xiaoli Village, who was standing next to him, looked a little younger, with eyes full of vigor and energy. He was wearing a military green coat and the scarf around his neck fluttered in the wind.

He greeted the villagers warmly and stopped from time to time to ask about their recent situation, his concern was evident in his words.

The open space in front of the supply and marketing cooperative was already packed with the bustling crowd.

The old people were leaning on crutches and supporting each other, their eyes filled with memories of the past supply and marketing cooperatives and longing for the new ones.

The children were like a group of cheerful little birds, running and playing among the crowd, looking curiously at the dazzling array of goods in the supply and marketing cooperative.

The women gathered in groups of three or five, discussing the new things that the new supply and marketing cooperative might bring, and the vegetable baskets in their hands swayed gently as they talked.

In this lively scene, Wang Jianguo was filled with excitement. He knew that this was an important moment in the development of the village.

Seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He turned around hurriedly and walked quickly to the backyard.

Along the way, his heart beat faster and the beautiful future of the supply and marketing cooperative kept appearing in his mind.

After a while, he came to the backyard, knocked on the door gently, and said respectfully:

"Director Song, the villagers outside are all here, waiting for you to say a few words to unveil the opening of our supply and marketing cooperative."

Upon hearing this, Director Song put down the documents in his hand, stood up and straightened his clothes.

He was wearing a black suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and his eyes showed his seriousness and responsibility towards work.

Accompanied by Wang Jianguo, Director Song steadily walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The sight of the huge crowds of people before him made him feel excited, and he saw the eagerness and expectation in the eyes of the villagers.

Seeing the vigorous hope for the village’s development, a feeling of relief arises spontaneously.

He raised his hand slightly and waved it with a kind smile on his face, signaling the villagers to be quiet.

In an instant, the originally noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Director Song, waiting for him to open a new chapter for this special moment.

The sun was shining on this land full of hope. Director Song walked forward steadily with a smile on his face. After clearing his throat, his loud and friendly voice rang out over the crowd:

"Fellow villagers, please be quiet for a moment."

His eyes slowly swept over the crowd, full of concern and warmth.

"I think everyone here should be familiar with me. I am Song Guohua, the director of our commune. Like everyone else, I am very excited to gather here today for the grand opening of our supply and marketing cooperative."

Director Song's eyes flashed with a trace of memories, and his voice became slightly lowered:

"As we all know, our Great Northern Wilderness has always been known as a 'remote and poor place'. Not only is the location remote, but transportation is also extremely inconvenient."

"While the outside world has long been connected by bus and long-distance coach routes and has become well-connected, we are still like an isolated island, and have yet to have these convenient means of transportation."

"If the villagers wanted to go out and see the outside world, they had to rely on the production team's slow ox carts, which would have to travel on the bumpy dirt road for a long time."

"Or you have to wait for the train that comes only once a week. Everyone knows how difficult it is to travel."

"On weekdays, villagers have to go through a lot of trouble just to buy some daily necessities. Or they have to travel dozens of miles to the next town and spend a whole day on the road."

"Or we have to hope that someone will go out to do some work and bring back the things we need. Days like this make everyone's life lacking in this and that, and there are inconveniences everywhere, and it is difficult to improve the quality of life."
