Chapter 154: The Wang Family's Parents

  It was almost noon when the five of them returned to the village, and Wang Ruihua's parents had already prepared a mutton soup, waiting for the distinguished guests.

  As the vice county head, Feng Sicheng is considered a big official in Wangge Village. It's been many years since someone with an even higher position has visited the village. Therefore, Wang Tianpei and Yu Aiyin, who are also Wang Ruihua's parents, had been waiting at their home entrance for a long time.

  Wang Ruihua's home is relatively well-off in the whole Wangge Village, perhaps due to the diligence of Wang Tianpei and his wife. Their house is not small and is made of bricks, which is already much better than some nearby earth houses. It makes sense that if their family conditions were not good, how could they afford to send Wang Ruihua to school to receive a good education?

  Feng Siche walked over to Wang Tianpei and Yu Aiyang with a smile, calling out "Uncle" and "Auntie". This instantly delighted the two old folks, who thought of Feng Siche as a county leader, equivalent to the "blue sky" of Dahu County in ancient times. The fact that even the "big uncle" of the blue sky called them Uncle and Auntie was an honor that lit up their hearts, making them overjoyed.

  Several people quickly sat down in the small courtyard of the house. The houses in rural Dahu County are basically like this, very spacious and covering a large area. As long as you have money to surround the empty land, you can expand the courtyard at any time. This is also one of the reasons for the imperfect system. Anyway, since you don't plan to obtain a property certificate, no one will bother you that much.

  A few small chairs had been arranged long ago, and Feng Sicheng politely asked Wang Tianpei and Yu Aiyin to sit down first. Only then did he take his seat steadily. His modesty and courtesy immediately won the praise of several others. Nowadays, when officials are in power, they often look down on ordinary people. It is rare to see a cadre like Feng Sicheng who can quickly get along with ordinary people and show great respect for them.

  On the table, a pot of mutton soup was emitting a strong and savory aroma. After walking for half a day, everyone was indeed a bit hungry. Moreover, they knew that Feng Sicheng was not a rigid leader, so amidst laughter and chatter, they began to eat freely. They ate with great relish, at least Feng Sicheng himself had three large bowls of mutton soup and three pieces of roasted flatbread.

  The more the guests eat, the more it proves that the dishes they make are delicious. Seeing this scene, both Wang Tianpei and Yu Aiyang were very happy and smiled. Today, Feng Sicheng was invited to their home for two reasons: one is because his own daughter works under someone else's hands, so he needs to maintain a good relationship; on the other hand, they also want to ask Feng Sicheng about their son's situation.

  Two elderly people already knew about the incident of Wang, the eldest son, visiting China and causing trouble at the county government, being caught. They just knew it was a matter of course, but they didn't have any solution to it either. Who let their son be so disobedient and break the law? Being caught was also expected, but this one arrest has been going on for such a long time, and it's getting a bit suspicious. The son broke the law, no mistake about that, but fortunately, he was discovered in time and didn't cause any major trouble. According to reason, he should be criticized and educated, and then detained for a few more days, but why has it been half a year already and there is still no news? Can't they come up with a solution plan? It doesn't seem right to just keep someone locked up without any explanation.

  All along, the two old men had been worried about Wang's visit to China. They were just farmers and hadn't seen much of the world. The most senior official they had ever met was probably just the head of their village. Because of their limited experience and few acquaintances, they didn't have a chance to speak up. Now that they finally had an opportunity with a county magistrate coming, they naturally wanted to ask him about this matter.

  After finishing dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard to rest and chat. As the host, Wang Tianpei was naturally also seated here. Later, several people chatted and talked about Wang Tianpei himself.

  "Hey, Uncle, how many people are in your family?" Feng Sicheng smiled and took out a high-end cigarette to hand over to Wang Tianpei. He wasn't particularly fond of smoking, but that didn't mean he didn't carry cigarettes on him. Sometimes when chatting with others, the value of a single cigarette could be immeasurable.

  Some tension stretched out his hands to take the cigarette handed over by Feng Siche, and chuckled: "As for County Magistrate's words, there are five people in our family. I, my wife, eldest son Wang Fanghua, eldest daughter Wang Ruihua, second son Wang Lihua."

  "Oh." Feng Si Zhe nodded, compared to the average family with four or five, even six or seven kids, Wang Tian Pei's family was already considered not bad. "Hmm, I see Uncle's life is still going well? How about it? How much land did you plant and what's the harvest like?"

  "Alas, the days are still passing by. Although there's only me, my child and his mother in our household, fortunately I can still do carpentry work. During idle times, I can also help others with furniture assembly to supplement our family income, so life is still manageable, but..."
