He won 900 million in the lottery.

The second son of the Zhang family.

At a young age, he achieved academic success and has a bright future ahead of him.

A typical example of how knowledge can change one's destiny in a rural area.

A role model in the eyes of the people.

The rear door opened, and Zhang's second son didn't rush to get up. He first glanced around, his eyes calm.

Dressed in his signature attire, he subconsciously touched his lower back with his left hand and straightened his clothes before getting off the bus.

He didn't step forward immediately, but paused briefly by the car door, his gaze sweeping calmly across the scene, the corners of his mouth forming a slight curve.

Three more cars were parked behind the Volkswagen, and most of the people getting out of them were dressed similarly!

Are all these people officials from the city?

Has Zhang Lao Er also made a name for himself within the system?

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Shen Xiaomai has really messed up this time!"

"Zhang Lao Er became a high-ranking official!"

After the first three cars, several more cars followed, prompting onlookers to exclaim in amazement at the luxury vehicles!

"Look, aren't all the people following them big bosses?"

"Of course, they're all here to give gifts! Out of respect for the second son of the Zhang family!"

There was some whispering and discussion among the crowd.

I went downstairs when I saw Zhang's second son's car arrive.

The second son of the Zhang family glanced at Xiaomai. There was a difference in the aura of an official and a businessman. Just by standing there, Xiaomai's aura weakened by three points.

Zhang Lao Er: "Continue?!"

Wheat frowned.

Just then, I walked in from the crowd.

Me: "Didn't you hear me? They told you to continue."

Xiaomai's face hardened, and she picked up a brick to smash the car!

"stop!"

The speaker was a man following behind Zhang Lao Er, wearing leather shoes and casual clothes.

"I'm Wang Shan from the township police station. Try smashing one in front of me."

Things have gotten to this point; whoever backs down is a coward!

For the next year or two, they won't be able to hold their heads up high!

Village bullies prey on those who dare not fight back!

Me: "Who do you think you are!"

"Ouch!"

Wang Shan clutched his foot and cried out!

It turned out that the monkey had thrown the brick and it hit his foot: "I'm sorry, Officer Wang, I was scared, so I listened to your advice and threw the brick away."

The rest of the children raised their hands together—

People around instinctively flinched, and Xiaomai laughed, "So you guys are afraid of pain too."

Just then, several more cars arrived outside and, seeing a crowd gathered there, honked their horns.

The crowd made way for the car.

After all, they're all luxury cars; who knows, they might be giving away gifts to someone else.

To everyone's surprise, a convoy of luxury cars stopped right next to the Volkswagen.

Upon opening the door, they found Sun Ce and Zhang Jiehui, along with three others.

Hey, these four brothers are really a close-knit group; they go everywhere together.

Sun Ce got out of the carriage with a frown.

The second son of the Zhang family felt a pang of unease; he had a bad feeling about the person getting off the bus. The person looked somewhat familiar!

And look again, aren't they just the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission who took away their former leader?

Sun Ce: "I just heard someone say he's from the police station. Why isn't he managing things in such a big situation?"

Wang Shan's toe pain subsided at this point.

He walked arrogantly up to Sun Ce.

The second son of the Zhang family tried to stop him, but ultimately didn't move.

Wang Shan: "I'm Wang Shan from the township police station. Who are you?"

Sun Ce: "Comrade, where are your identification documents?"

Wang Shan was there to curry favor with the second son of the Zhang family. He was just there to give gifts at the temple fair, so he wouldn't have brought any identification!

However, he was no pushover either; in these villages, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a local tyrant!

Wang Shanniu interrogated him forcefully, asking, "Who are you?"

Sun Ce didn't speak. He took out his work ID from his pocket and showed it to Wang Shan.

From the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection!

I saw everything clearly from the side. Sun Ce is no good at money, but I really underestimated him when it comes to power!

Even if Su Hang and Zhao Yigang came, he could probably give them a run for their money!

Wang Shan's eye muscles twitched violently; he'd kicked a hornet's nest!

Taking advantage of a moment of leisure, Sun Ce turned to look at me and said, "President Shen, your temple fair is such a big event, and you didn't even inform me. I hope my visit wasn't presumptuous."

Me: "I'm very happy that you came. Let's come inside and have some tea."

Sun Ce glanced disdainfully at Zhang's second son: "I don't even have a place to park my car yet."

When the people around saw Sun Ce display his credentials, although they couldn't make out what unit it was, they knew something was wrong just by looking at Wang Shan's expression.

They all instinctively turned to the side, turning their faces away from Sun Ce.

The second son of the Zhang family was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Zhang's second son: "Brother, drive the car away."

The eldest son of the Zhang family still had questions, but due to the tacit understanding between the two brothers over the years, he didn't say anything more, got into the car, and started the engine.

I really have to go!

Old Zhang's family has retired!

I thought a fight was about to break out! Who is this man?!

The crowd made way for the Land Rover!

The Land Rover drove off, and four other cars, led by Sun Ce, arrived one after another and parked in the three-tenths of the area in front of my house.

"They're guests of the Shen family!"

"Really?!"

"This guy's such a big shot, a guest of the Shen family!"

After everyone parked their cars, the group that had come with Zhang Lao Er silently got into their vehicles.

I'm getting ready to park my car in front of Zhang Lao Er's house.

Sun Ce said, "Wait a minute, you look familiar."

Sun Ce looked Zhang's second son up and down.

With things so bluntly stated, how could the second son of the Zhang family not know what's good for him?

The second son of the Zhang family took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to him: "Section Chief Sun, we've met twice before at work. I didn't expect you to have such a good memory?"

Sun Ce remained unmoved. Instead, he took out a box from his pocket, handed me one first, lit it, and then lit one for himself.

Sun Ce didn't even look up: "Is the carriage parked?"

"It's stopped."

Me: "Come on in, let's eat!"

A large group of people came to my house, and the onlookers had already quietly dispersed.

Why?

They're afraid I'll hold a grudge.

The second son of the Zhang family clenched his fists so tightly that the cigarette pack in his hand was deformed to an extreme degree.

After we all got home.

The eldest son of the Zhang family then came over and took his younger brother back.

living room.

Sun Ce: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, I was hoping to have a drink, but it seems I can't this time."

I smiled and said, "I still have to thank you. Otherwise, things would have been really difficult to end today. Come to my place later, and we'll drink to our hearts' content."

Sun Ce: "Haha. President Shen, let's not leave at noon today. Let's wait for him to come and offer a toast. If he doesn't come, I'll have to go through his file later!"

Sun Ce, Zhou Youji, Wang Weiping, Zhang Jiehui, Liu Dabing, plus Fourth Uncle count as one table.

There were too many of Xiaomai's brothers, so they were divided into two large tables.

All three tables are upstairs.

Fortunately, there are people in the village who can prepare a banquet, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough people.

Around noon, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Jian arrived.

There's also Chen Sanjing.

A two-story building with a large courtyard, packed with people.

My uncle, aunt, and other relatives all live on the first floor.

The relatives were in the courtyard.

These relatives used to come and leave without even eating a bite to eat, but this year they came with their whole families to give gifts.

My mom doesn't care about any of that. Anyway, with these kinds of temple fairs, she's not afraid of crowds, she's just afraid of it not being lively enough. This year is definitely the most lively one yet, so she's happy!

In the kitchen, my mom was secretly shedding tears as she cooked.

Me: "What's wrong? What's bothering you?"

My mom: "Sigh, our in-laws were supposed to come this year, but it's just too..."

Before she could finish speaking, her phone rang with a WeChat video call. She took out her phone and saw it was Dong Ling.

My mom quickly wiped away her tears, composed herself, and answered the phone.

Dong Ling: "Auntie! Is the village temple fair busy?"

My mom: "Sigh, not busy! Not busy!"

Dong Ling: "I've already taken leave. I'm taking the high-speed train tonight and will arrive home tonight. Please save some food for me."

My mom's eyes started to redden again: "Sigh, good, it's good that you're back. I'll save some food for you."

Dong Ling hung up the phone.

My mom cheered up again, muttering to herself, "It's good that you're back!"

I waited on my phone for ages, but there was no message. I could only scratch my head in frustration.

Why didn't you call me?
