After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 199 Choreography
Since the family split up, Su Xiaoxiao has been in the limelight. It's clear that although she's young, she's quite shrewd at making money.

However, some people immediately retorted: "Su Xiaoxiao is doing this quietly and without making a fuss, just trying to live a good life. What's wrong with that?"

As everyone chimed in, they were all mocking Granny Liu's family, feeling that this family, having been imprisoned and owing huge interest loans, was bringing disaster to Baihua Village, a village with such a good reputation!

The villagers felt that the Liu family had brought shame upon them. The village headman intervened and calmed down those who came to cause trouble in the village. However, the villagers made it clear that the money still had to be returned, and that it would be fifty taels, not a penny more or less.

In fact, Su Xiaoxiao was also thinking about this, but of course she wouldn't step in to help pay back the money.

Fortunately, her husband Liu Xiaozhuang died. If she had also encountered such a thing, I really don't know how she, a widow and orphan, would have survived with her children.

Da Bao's injury healed quickly, mainly because he is young and his skin heals fast.

After this incident, Da Bao hasn't gone to school for a long time.

In just a few days it will be the Qixi Festival, a day when the whole village has a holiday. On this day, everyone, whether they are in school, working, or farming or doing business, stays at home to rest and celebrate.

The village head and Su Xiaoxiao were discussing whether they should organize an event for the villagers this year for the Qixi Festival. Naturally, the village head wanted to consult Su Xiaoxiao about this matter.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Uncle Village Head, how about we organize a bonfire party too?"

"A bonfire party?"

Although the village head couldn't understand what it was, he always trusted Su Xiaoxiao completely and felt that it was best to leave this matter to her.

Su Xiaoxiao could tell from the village head that he had never heard of a bonfire party before she could even ask.

Su Xiaoxiao then explained to the village head, "Actually, the bonfire party is just organizing the villagers to set up a bonfire in the open space at the entrance of our village. Everyone can grill meat, drink, sing, and dance around the bonfire. Basically, whatever makes it lively is fine."

This was truly the first time the village head had ever heard of such a novel way of celebrating.

After all, in those days, everyone went to bed early as soon as night fell, so there was no nightlife.

Compared to now, entertainment options were extremely limited.

The village head readily agreed and assigned the task to Su Xiaoxiao, asking her to help plan it out.

"Just tell me what we need to prepare, and I'll have someone go and prepare it right now."

The village head said to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Yes, our family can handle this. It's a way of giving back to the villagers after all this time!"

Su Xiaoxiao sent her workshop helpers to town to buy a few sheep and a few cows, and she also went up the mountain to hunt some wild game.

For example, wild rabbits, pheasants, and a wild boar mean we don't need to buy pork.

It's not that Su Xiaoxiao is stingy; she just wants to save where she can, since money doesn't grow on trees.

By organizing a bonfire party for the village, Su Xiaoxiao is already doing charity work. What else is there to say?
However, all of that could be done by spending some money, but figuring out how to put together this song and dance performance was quite a challenge for Su Xiaoxiao.

Relying on her memories from her previous life, although Su Xiaoxiao had never actually participated in a bonfire party before, she could only rely on the scenes she vaguely remembered seeing on TV to find some young men and women in the village and choreograph a very simple bonfire party dance for everyone.

However, it's quite difficult to convince these people to put on a show for the villagers at night.

Everyone was ready to back out, feeling that dancing in front of outsiders was unconventional and quite improper. Su Xiaoxiao tried to explain, but in the end, she had to persuade them and bring in the village head to pressure the young people, finally managing to appease them.

"It's okay. It will be dark by then, and no one will be able to see anyone. We can just walk around that campfire."

"We'll all get a bonus then, how about we treat it as overtime? I'll give each of us twenty coins."

Upon hearing that there was money at stake, the villagers, seeing the promise of a reward, immediately began to offer words of encouragement: "We've always received a lot of help from Boss Su. This is a matter for the villagers themselves; how can we stand idly by?"

"Why don't we give it a try!"

"Just try it."

Finally, everyone was convinced. Su Xiaoxiao taught them a few movements, such as lifting their legs and raising their hands. Turning around is actually quite simple.

Once everyone enters that atmosphere, they should be able to get infected by it.

Soon, these young people learned the tricks of the trade, and after a few moves, they were starting to look quite good.

At first, the boy and girl held hands and spun around; they were still too shy to let go.

Having no other choice, Su Xiaoxiao divided the girls into one group and the boys into another. When the two groups were about to join hands, she gave the boy and girl a special lesson.

“It’s nothing that you’re holding hands, I’ll give you an extra twenty coins.”

"alright."

Su Xiaoxiao finally convinced them, and now when a man and a woman hold hands, it's not so awkward anymore.

After watching these people practice for a while, Su Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved and went to her house to see that all the men she had sent out had returned.

They all brought some roasting racks for lamb, instructing their men to bring plenty of seasonings if they were roasting a whole lamb, and the same goes for other game; they said it was best to marinate the game with seasonings before roasting.

These people have been following Su Xiaoxiao for a long time, and they know how to handle things as soon as the leader gives instructions.

The village head has already asked the villagers to help set up the bonfire needed for the bonfire party, and the firewood should be enough to burn until dawn.

Su Xiaoxiao asked someone to keep an eye on things. She observed the night sky and found it to be very clear and bright, so it definitely wouldn't rain.

Su Xiaoxiao can now observe the stars at night, which is a new skill she has learned since coming to ancient times.

Su Xiaoxiao cut the wild boar open, making cross-shaped cuts on the pork ribs to help it absorb the flavor.

I added seasonings, honey, and other ingredients and marinated it for a long time, which made the pork chops very delicious.

As for drinks, the village head prepared Daughter's Red wine for everyone, and Su Xiaoxiao brewed chrysanthemum tea and fruit jam for everyone.

Anyway, everyone can drink as much as they want. Tonight, there will be no limit to what we eat or drink. We're all going to have a blast.

Only when everyone has a great time and enjoys themselves to the fullest can this bonfire party be considered a success.
