Once upon a time, the entrance to Naomo Village was a sea of people.
Some of these people are fellow villagers, and some are people from nearby villages who come to join in the fun.
After all, they also wanted to see what the archway in Naomo Village looked like.
At this moment, everyone in the village was looking forward to it, looking expectantly at the huge archway in front of them. The front of the archway was covered by a piece of red silk, so nothing could be seen.
There is a high platform built of wood under the archway. The high platform is covered with red cloth, which looks particularly festive.
"The village chief is here!"
Suddenly, a sudden voice sounded.
Everyone looked up in unison.
Bu Fan was seen approaching, supported by Song Leizi and the clan leaders of various clans in the village, and the crowd gradually made way for people to pass.
"Village Chief, you are finally here!"
"Why should I be called a village chief now? I want to be called a town mayor!"
"I almost forgot. I've been shouting for so many years and I'm used to it. I can't change my voice for a while."
The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, and the villagers greeted Bu Fan one after another, and Bu Fan smiled and nodded in response.
Although every villager was sweating profusely in this hot summer, they still could not block the excitement and joy in their eyes.
However, Bu Fan still felt that he should end the unveiling ceremony as soon as possible to avoid being overheated by the summer heat.
He didn't want to think that everyone would come to see him for medical treatment the next day.
Go up to the high platform.
A "swish" sound.
Without hesitation, Bu Fan ripped off the red silk covering the archway.
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
No one expected that Bu Fan would just pull off the red silk.
I saw the red silk slowly falling to the ground.
A tall and magnificent archway suddenly appeared under the scorching sun.
There are many patterns carved on the stone archway. These patterns include flowers, birds, dragons and tigers, which are various and lifelike.
On the stone pillars on both sides, there are two lines of characters engraved with dragons and phoenixes dancing.
It says, "When the sea reaches the limitless sky, I am the shore; when the mountains reach the top, I am the peak."
Even some illiterate villagers couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their hearts after listening to the two lines of poetry read by academy students, although they didn't understand the meaning.
Especially the three words "旮旯城" engraved directly above the archway are even more exciting.
"From today on, our village is no longer a village, but a town!" Bu Fan cleared his throat and said loudly.
The whole audience suddenly burst into cheers that echoed throughout the sky.
…
Song Leizi and the clan leaders looked obviously stunned.
"Village chief, why did you tear off the red silk?" Song Laizi hurriedly approached Bu Fan and whispered in Bu Fan's ear.
"What's wrong? Isn't it possible?" Bu Fan asked with a smile.
"It's not impossible, it's just that you don't think you have anything to say?" Song Laizi scratched his head.
"I know what you mean. In normal times, I would naturally give a speech, but now it's a bit inappropriate at this time!"
Bu Fan looked at Song Leizi and the others, shook his head, and then looked up at the scorching sun above his head.
Song Leizi and others immediately understood what it meant.
Especially Song Leizi subconsciously stuffed a piece of paper in his hand into his sleeve.
"What's wrong? You even brought a cheat sheet?"
Bu Fan had sharp eyes and naturally saw Song Leizi's little moves and couldn't help but laugh.
"Just one!"
Song Leizi smiled awkwardly.
For this unveiling ceremony, he went to the academy and spent several days to have someone write it.
"Village Chief, don't laugh at me. It's not just me. Chief Li and others also prepared several!"
Song Leizi was not afraid of the angry looks around him and directly revealed the matter, which made Bu Fan amused.
How long will it take to tell how many pieces of paper each person contains?
"Xiao Fan, the village has been transformed into a small town now. As the mayor of the small town, you still have to say some speeches!"
The speaker was the old village chief Wang Changgui. At this moment, Wang Changgui had his hands behind his hands and said with a kind face.
"I understand, old village chief!"
Bu Fan nodded and slowly raised his hand.
The originally cheering voices suddenly fell into silence.
Wang Changgui, Song Leizi and the clan chiefs couldn't help but sigh when they saw this.
Although the village chief has not been doing much in recent years, his reputation has not diminished at all.
"Folks, our village is fortunate to have become a small town. I know you are very happy. In fact, I am also very happy. I would like to thank you all for your efforts over the years. Thank you."
As he spoke, Bu Fan leaned forward slightly and bowed deeply to the villagers.
This move shocked everyone.
"Mayor, you're too polite. If it weren't for you, our village would not be what it is today!"
"Yes, Mayor, it's us who want to thank you!"
Bu Fan raised his hand again, and the noisy shouting suddenly became quiet.
"But we cannot be complacent because of this. As the saying goes, humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. As long as we are modest, conscientious, and do everything carefully, our town will be better in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Lezi on the side immediately applauded enthusiastically.
"The mayor said it well!"
If someone takes the lead, someone will naturally respond.
For a moment, there was thunderous applause.
"Next, let the old village chief come up and say a few words!"
Bu Fan invited Wang Changgui to come forward. Wang Changgui did not expect Bu Fan to do this, but he quickly realized it and shook his head helplessly.
When Wang Changgui came out to speak, Bu Fan wisely stepped back and stood with Song Lezi.
Perhaps because of Bu Fan's relationship, Wang Changgui's speech was also very brief.
After that, everyone who came up to give a speech also spoke in short and long sentences.
"The village chief is still awesome. He can say a few words that make him a good person. That sentence of humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. Well, it makes sense!" Song Laizi admired in a low voice.
Just as Bu Fan was about to say something, he suddenly saw a familiar voice.
The figure stood outside the crowd, looking over here from a distance.
"I'm going back first, and I'll leave the rest to you!"
Before Song Leizi could react, Bu Fan had already stepped off the platform.
…
Luo Qingcheng lay on Song Xiaochun's shoulder, looking at the excited villagers with some boredom.
Isn't it just that the village has been transformed into a small town?
Is it necessary to be so excited?
However, although she was bored, she still enjoyed the feeling of lying on Mr. Song's shoulder.
She was almost intoxicated when she felt the body temperature from Mr. Song's body and the masculine aura.
Just when she thought about recovering her body, Luo Qingcheng felt a little worried about gain and loss.
She originally thought that the time it would take to recover her body this time would be the same as last time, but she didn't expect that after so long, she still couldn't recover her body.
If this delay continues, Mrs. Song will really let Mr. Song marry the widow.
This is something she doesn't want to see.
"Sir, are you going back?"
Seeing Song Xiaochun turn around and leave, Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but wonder.
"Um!"
Song Xiaochun hummed softly.
"Then young master, you went on the wrong path. The way back is to take that way!"
Luo Qingcheng raised the cat's paw and pointed to the original road, "Sir, you forgot the road you just walked. Do you really have a poor sense of direction?"
