On the afternoon of New Year’s Day.

Pay homage to the village chief.

There is a tradition in Wangjia Village that the village chief is the beacon of a village and the leader of a village.

Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole village, young and old, goes to pay homage to the village chief.

Generally speaking, village chiefs are older people, so kowtow is nothing.

The strange thing is that the village chief is only four years old this year!

He only turned four on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!

Suisui finished her lunch early and sat in the main hall, dressed newly, with many wrapped red envelopes on the table.

The red envelope is made of red paper dyed at home. It is a flat sheet with only a bulge the size of a fingernail in the center.

Wang Youcai came with all the villagers.

"Do you really want to worship me? She is only four years old? She is the youngest in the village, right? Will her life span be shortened?"

"That's right, the oldest generation in our village, Yan Hansheng, has to call him grandpa, right?"

"But village chiefs have always been appointed regardless of seniority, only status."

Everyone was chattering and hesitant.

"Have you never seen such a young village chief before?" The uncle who spoke blushed a little, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed. His grandson is older than Yan Suisui.

"Did you eat dumplings stuffed with leeks this morning? Did Suisui teach you to grow leeks in a wooden box? The flour was exchanged in the village? The fried meatballs last night were delicious? Have you eaten enough?? At home

Is there enough food left?" Aunt Liu sarcastically said, and the old man's face turned red instantly.

Aunt Liu didn't care whether they wanted to see her or not.

In the past, when Wang Youcai was the village chief, her rice vat and water vat were already empty, and she was afraid that she would not survive the winter.

Suisui has only been in power for a long time, and her family's rice vat is full of surplus.

From time to time, I can eat some meat, not to mention there are activities in the village for various solar terms every three days, so I have never treated this mouth badly.

There are hundreds of escorts and archers in the village, and some women are also found in the village to do daily chores.

Aunt Liu can receive twenty kilograms of food every month, and occasionally some meat and vegetables.

Suisui would let her take the leftovers from the flowing water mat every time so that she could make ends meet. Now there is plenty of food left at home.

"Anyway, I still want to listen to some songs and have a good meal. Nowadays, which village is not worried about refugees raiding to steal food? Our village's firecrackers celebrating the New Year can go off for two miles? That escort team is not a vegetarian. This

Who gives you a stable life?" Aunt Liu said earnestly.

Wang Youcai next to him nodded his head with a look of relief on his face.

"Look at Village Elder Wang, right? You kowtow to him every year, right? Has he given you a full meal? Has he allowed you to sleep peacefully at night? Has he listened to you music? Has he set up a running water mat for you? You

Tell me, is this true? Besides growing older, what else does he have?!"

When everyone heard that this was the truth, they all nodded and were willing to do so.

Wang Youcai's eyes widened, why are you praising one and stepping on the other!??

We don't want to mess around!

"It's still far behind, far worse than the village chief of Suisui." Everyone agreed.

"So what if it's far behind? I pushed her forward against all the opinions of others! You are all opposed to her!" Wang Youcai raised his head and walked in front of her arrogantly.

He was the first to hold this golden thigh!

Everyone was speechless, but it was hard to say anything when they arrived outside the village chief's door.

Everyone formed a long queue outside. The weather was sunny today and it was rare that it didn't snow.

But the weather was still cold and freezing, so everyone stood in the snow and stamped their feet to warm themselves.

"Come and have a cup of tea. Why don't you come at a different time so as not to freeze..." Mrs. Lin and Xiuxiu burned a large pot of hot tea, and each of them drank one bowl at a time.

Seeing that she was too busy, Aunt Liu hurriedly went to help serve tea and put away the bowls.

There were so many people here that it made me sweat.

"That can't be done. It's disrespectful to the village chief. What happened in previous years should be the same this year! Don't change the steps just because Suisui is young!" This happens every year!

It's hard for the Yan family to say anything.

He could only move Suisui to the Taishi chair in the center of the hall. Suisui had a serious face and placed his hands in front of him, seeming very solemn.

Wang Youcai led the whole village to kowtow to Suisui one by one.

"May Wangjia Village always be prosperous and prosperous, and may Wangjia Village prosper under your leadership, with no worries about food and clothing..." Wang Youcai paused. Perhaps his expectations should be greater?

Wang Youcai supported the elders in the village and took the lead in kneeling down.

The Yan family was a little nervous, but Suisui was very calm.

She is a goddess who has been kneeled by everyone since she was a child.

She is used to seeing all living beings bowing down to her.

Suisui took a red envelope and handed it to the old man who stood up. The old man was very old and was the oldest man in the village.

Brother Qing once checked his pulse. The old man probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long and would have to celebrate or mourn.

Natural old age and death are all joys and sorrows.

"Thank you, little village chief..." The old man couldn't speak clearly.

The old man did not object to kneeling at all.

In other villages, the older generation is the first to die.

Because of the shortage of food, the old people voluntarily left food and left the chance of survival to future generations. They originally thought so, but after Xiao Suisui became the village chief, life was visibly better, and they could even make a living every day.

Go to the threshing floor and listen to a play.

I can't even think about it these days.

The back of his hands was covered with age spots, his hair and beard were white, and he stood to one side holding the red envelope given by Suisui.

More and more people come to kowtow.

Suisui handed out red envelopes one by one.

"A small gift is not a sign of respect, so please don't dislike it."

"It's not something valuable...it was prepared by Suisui herself."

"Just swallow it before going to bed..." Suisui is well-behaved and very cute.

"They are all little gadgets... just ordinary and unremarkable. I hope you won't dislike them." Suisui told everyone honestly.

Everyone didn't expect much. After all, the village chief was only four years old, and everyone knew what she had in her pocket. She was extremely lucky that she didn't catch a bug and give it to everyone.

Everyone kowtowed until dark.

Suisui's mouth was dry and her throat was almost hoarse as she spoke.

When the villagers returned home, it was already dark.

The women who went home early had prepared delicious meals with warm smiles on their faces.

"By the way, have you opened the red envelope? What is it?"

"Did the little village chief return the copper coins he packed during the day?" At this moment, under the warm candlelight, every household was opening the red envelopes.

"The village chief said it was swallowed. It should be... edible, right? Is it a candy? This is in line with the temperament of a four-year-old child." The words just finished.

A round lotus seed fell into the palm of my hand.

"It's..." Lian Zi hadn't said anything yet.

The moment the lotus seeds opened, the room was filled with lotus fragrance, and the whole lotus seeds were filled with light, as if covered with a layer of glow.

"Is this...an ordinary lotus seed?" Wang Youcai's eyes widened, and his family opened all the red envelopes.

The lotus fragrance is almost so rich that it turns into substance!

There is even a faint light floating around!!!

You call this ordinary!!
