The village chief's name was Yang Guoqing. He was in his forties, not very tall, but he was very sturdy. This was called axle body, people with this kind of figure were usually very strong, no matter if they fought or worked.

When Yang Guoqing was young, he was a good fighter, the young generation who led the Yang Tree Gully fought many battles in the nearby villages, especially the hunters of the Chen Family Ridge. Because they often hunted, they were very fierce and often bullied the people of other villages, if they didn't unite, they would definitely be bullied.

Yang Fan's father, Yang Dong, and Yang Guoqing took the lead to fight against the two of them, so their reputations were not bad in the village. After Yang Dong's body collapsed, Yang Guoqing became the village chief.

Of course, in such a remote place like Yang Shuigou, the village chief and the village branch office were usually both the same person. Yang Guoqing was not bad, after taking office he took care of Yang Dongdong's family, Yang Fan also borrowed money when he went to school and was hospitalized, even though it wasn't much, but his heart was always there.

This time, Yang Fan returned the money, and the Village Head also sent two large melons. This was because the Village Head and his wife came to return the favor, and this was the rule for Yang Shuquan's generation. If they gave a gift, then it would not matter if their family was ordinary, but if their family was slightly better, or if they had a good reputation, then they would return the gesture.

Yang Guoqing was a good person, of course, he wouldn't lose his manners, so he and his wife brought two bottles of wine to pay their respects to him. It didn't matter whether the gift was light or heavy, he couldn't let his townspeople poke their bones.

A few years ago, women and children were not allowed to sit at the table. However, the rules had gradually changed over the past few years, and with the addition of the fact that the relationship between the two families was quite good, Zhong Runjuan and Second Aunt did not avoid it and started to eat and drink together.

"Come on, his second aunt, try this bowl of Steamed Fresh Turtle Soup. Xiaofan has just caught a big old turtle from Scattered Flower Creek. It weighs over eight pounds!" The mother never forgot to show off her children's abilities. Pointing to the fragrant Steamed Turtle Soup, she introduced it to Second Aunt as if it were a treasure.

"Alright, alright. If Little Fan really has the ability, then I won't be polite." After Second Aunt said this, she scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it. Then she did not say anything else and just buried her head in a gulp.

"Haha, I also want to try …" Yang Guoqing couldn't help but drink when he saw his wife happily drinking.

"Mm — this soup is really authentic, fresh but not fishy, fragrant but not greasy, and very refreshing. How many years has it been since I've tasted such a pure and wild old turtle soup? Such a big old turtle can sell for at least seven or eight thousand yuan, little Fan sure looks promising!"

"What?" It can be sold for at least seven or eight thousand? " Zhong Runjuan widened her eyes in surprise. She thought she could sell them for at most a thousand yuan, but who knew that she could sell them at least for seven to eight thousand yuan?

The big boss in the city has plenty of money. Last time, when I was drinking with the brother-in-law of the county magistrate, I heard that a five to six catty old turtle sold for ten thousand yuan. Not to mention that this old turtle is almost ten catties old.

Yang Guoqing drank happily, but he didn't realize that Zhong Ruan Juan's face had turned green. Drinking twenty to thirty thousand yuan in one go was like taking a life for a poor and frightened rural woman!

"Cough, cough …" If you want to try your luck, you will only be able to sell them for a thousand, eight hundred at most if you can't even catch up with the boss, but the boss isn't easy to find. " Yang Fan quietly kicked Yang Guoqing under the table, reminding him to watch his mouth. Didn't he see that his mother's eyes were already red?

"Yeah, Xiaofan, kick …" Ah? "Haha, sister-in-law, drink as well. Little Fan is right, although Old Turtle is worth a lot, he doesn't have that many grievances. If we rural people go to the city to sell for ourselves, not only would it be hard to find a way to sell them, we might even encounter someone who wants to bully us. We might not even be able to sell much, and we might even get beaten up."

Yang Guoqing, who looked like an intelligent person, quickly reacted and changed the topic. He shouted to his second aunt, who was deep in her soup: "You are a prodigal woman who has never seen the market before, look at your promising looks, don't go around drinking. Didn't you say that you had something to discuss with your sister-in-law? Why are you not saying anything?"

He wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth with a smile and said to Zhong Runjuan, who still had an ugly expression, "Sixth Sister-in-Law, didn't I tell you that I was going to introduce someone to Xiaofan? The last time I went to my parents' house, I happened to meet a distant niece, and she looked really pretty. She just came back from work in Deep City and said that she's old and didn't want to go out to work anymore, so she decided to find a good wife to marry."

Yang Dongfang was the sixth oldest cousin of the other brothers, so the moment she heard that they were going to introduce Zhong Ruan to Yang Fan, Zhong Ruan's complexion immediately changed. Which one of the mothers didn't want to report her grandson?

"Second Aunt, let's just eat today. Can we talk about the blind date another day?" When Yang Fan heard the word 'blind date', his head swelled three times. Without waiting for his mother to speak, he hurriedly stopped her.

"Shut up! If the adults are talking, why are the kids interrupting!" Zhong Luojuan took out the prestige of her mother, tyrannically stripping Yang Fan of his right to speak.

"His second aunt, don't listen to such nonsense. Let's continue talking."

In the countryside, if someone told you a story, that person thought highly of you. If you kept rejecting it, it would be very rude, and that person would secretly stab you in the back, saying that your eyes were on the top of your head, looking down on people.

Therefore, no matter how unhappy Yang Fan was, he had no choice but to obediently sit there and listen to his second aunt recount the various virtues of that distant niece of his.

What do you mean you've been obedient since you were young? You knew to go out and earn money to support your family since a long time ago. She sent money back to build the small foreign house at home.

In short, Second Aunt 's distant niece was definitely a rare and unparalleled first class woman. If the facts were as she said, then forget about Yang Fan, even the country's president wouldn't be fit to look for her.

Therefore, after Yang Fan's numerous protests had failed, his blind date was decided by his mother, and he even flipped through the calendar. In just a few days, it would be an auspicious day for him.

In order to thank Second Aunt for putting in so much effort to help Yang Fan, after the meal, Zhong Luojuan even domineeringly ordered Yang Fan to cut a watermelon for the village chief and his wife to taste.

Zhong Luojuan was referring to the watermelon produced in the space of Yang Fan's jade pendant. In order to let his family eat the watermelon he grew, Yang Fan had lied a lot.
