I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Looking at his village as bright as day, and listening to the heartfelt cheers and laughter of his fellow villagers, Jiang Chen stood on the second-floor balcony, feeling a sense of comfort and exhilaration.

This money was well spent!

Just then, that familiar and delightful system notification sound rang in his mind!

[Ding! Detected that the host has organized a "Village-wide Lighting Project," greatly enhancing the festive happiness and sense of belonging of the family, clan, and neighbors!]

[System in progress...]

[Judgment: Light represents hope. You have lit not only lanterns, but also the entire village's aspirations for the future!]

The phone screen lit up, and a text message indicating an incoming payment of 800,000 yuan lay there quietly.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly; the money was just an appetizer.

He knew that for an event of this scale, the system must have other rewards.

as predicted.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a village-wide buff: Auspicious Aura (lasts 30 days)!]

【BUFF Name: Auspicious Aura】

[Coverage Area: Entire Jiangjia Village]

Duration: 30 days

[Effect 1: Within the buff's coverage area, all villagers' mood increases by 20%, significantly boosting their happiness.]

[Effect 2: 50% probability of family conflicts and neighborhood disputes occurring.]

[Effect 3: The probability of negative events such as petty theft and thievery occurring is 80%.]

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the description of the buff.

This is much more interesting than just giving money!

Changing the "energy field" of an area directly from its source is simply miraculous!

No wonder he felt the atmosphere in the village was exceptionally harmonious, with even the air filled with a festive and peaceful feeling.

He was pondering the wonderful use of this buff when he saw his second uncle Jiang Jianmin and second aunt Sun Yumei return from outside with dark faces.

Jiang Chen thought that another verbal argument was about to unfold.

Unexpectedly, when Sun Yumei passed by the entrance of Jiang Chen's courtyard, she only glanced up at the brightly lit second-floor balcony.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something sarcastic.

But the words stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back down.

Finally, she just gave a disgruntled "humph" and quickly pulled Jiang Jianmin home.

Throughout the entire process, there wasn't a single insult or sarcastic remark.

Jiang Chen watched their retreating figures and laughed.

This "Auspicious Atmosphere Fills the Door" buff has an immediate effect!

Even a "fighter jet" like Sun Yumei has had her conflict rate reduced by 50%, which is simply a powerful weapon for purifying the rural environment!

"Chen'er! Chen'er! Quick! Come and see!"

Just then, Wang Xiuying, the mother, rushed out of the house excitedly, holding her phone like a little girl.

Her face was flushed with unprecedented excitement.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"We're on TV! Our village is on TV!"

Wang Xiuying held her phone screen close to Jiang Chen's face, her voice trembling with excitement.

On my phone, the evening news from Jiangning County TV was playing.

The news footage shows Jiangjia Village brightly lit!

From the drone's aerial footage, the entire village looks like a galaxy fallen to earth, breathtakingly beautiful.

A young and beautiful female reporter stood under the large red lantern at the village entrance, microphone in hand, reporting in a tone that was both passionate and envious:

"Dear viewers, this is Jiangjia Village in Jiangning County! Tonight, an unprecedented 'Lighting Up the Village' event will be held here, funded by Mr. Jiang Chen, an outstanding young entrepreneur from our village..."

Five thousand large red lanterns and tens of thousands of meters of LED lights have transformed this once ordinary village into a dreamlike "city that never sleeps"!

"This is not only a visual feast, but also a model of rural revitalization in the new era! It tells us that the construction of new rural areas requires not only abundant wealth, but also a rich spiritual and cultural life..."

The news report ended with a close-up shot of Jiang Jianmin.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, chest puffed out, and a serious yet proud expression on his face as he spoke to the camera:

"My son said he wants to ensure that all the villagers live a bright and prosperous life!"

With that kind of air, someone who didn't know better would think he was a leader on an inspection tour.

Wang Xiuying was overjoyed, her face beaming with delight.

"Chen'er, did you see that? Your dad's on TV! Just now, your uncle, your aunt, your grandma... all the relatives called!"

Everyone says our family has become famous! They say our Jiangjia Village is a model village for the whole county!

Holding her phone, Wang Xiuying sent videos to each of her relatives' group chats, her pride and joy practically overflowing from the screen.

Jiang Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he looked at his mother's genuine smile.

However, before he could even savor this joy, village chief Jiang Shunde rushed to his door.

As soon as the old village chief entered the courtyard, his face was filled with a mixture of excitement and sorrow, his expression extremely complex.

"Chen'er!"

Jiang Shunde grabbed Jiang Chen's hand and shook it forcefully.

"Being on TV is a fantastic opportunity! But... but it also presents us with a problem!"
