When she asked, Zhang Cuiniang introduced Aunt Leng's family, as well as the nearby neighbors and their friendly relationships to Chen Yueshu.

While the two sisters-in-law were chatting, Leng He, who was standing next to them, was introducing their friends to Leng Jiaren, Leng Nianzhi, and Zhan Jin.

They were all children of about the same age, and after introducing themselves to each other, they quickly became familiar with each other.

After dinner, they jumped around and played with the shuttlecocks that Leng Su and Chen Yueshu made for them in the morning.

Everyone was quite satisfied with the lunch. The adults drank and ate, and kept praising Leng Yan's cooking skills. All the food and delicacies were delicious.

Village Chief Lan patted Grandpa Leng on the shoulder, saying that he had finally gotten his reward after suffering a lot of hardships and that he would enjoy endless wealth in the future.

Having such a capable granddaughter, filial sons and daughters, and a virtuous daughter-in-law, I would wake up smiling in my dreams.

After they returned home with great pleasure, in the afternoon Grandpa Leng took his eldest son to visit the soap factory in the village, and then drove the ox cart to the big locust tree to repeat his daily work of collecting vegetables from the villagers.

Of course, in addition to harvesting vegetables today, the most important thing is to announce Leng Kang's safe return to the villagers and to show his face to them.

To save them from spreading more nonsense, the most outrageous thing his Leng family had heard from this morning till today was that the eldest son of the Leng family was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold for his military merits on the battlefield.

When they returned home in glory, they rode on tall horses and wore gold and silver belts, looking so glorious.

In order to stop the gossips, the Leng family had to show up and speak, and the matter was far from as outrageous as they spread.

Of course, after the matter was clarified, Mr. Leng talked about an idea he had after discussing it with his family.

Three days later, the Leng family planned to hold a banquet to entertain the villagers, one to welcome Leng Kang, and the other to celebrate Leng Kang's safe return home.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd instantly became excited.

Some people were happy for the Leng family, while others were happy that they could have a chance to enjoy the feast. After all, the memory of the delicious dishes at the Leng family's feast had been lingering on their tongues for a long time since the last time.

"Yes, yes, yes, we should hold one. It's been more than ten years, and we finally returned home in glory. It's not too much to hold a three-day and three-night buffet."

"Yes, yes. We watched the eldest son of the Leng family grow up. He is like our own child. Our own child has returned to his hometown, so he should eat something good."

"Who says it's not true? But then again, the boss of the Leng family has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years. Now that the war has stopped, even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. I wonder if he has returned with a position of some kind?"

"Indeed, indeed. I am also curious about this. If the eldest son of the Leng family becomes a high-ranking official, he will be the first person from our Lengzhan Village to become an official. It will be very prestigious to tell others about it!"

"Hmph, that sounds nice. What do you mean by returning home in glory? Maybe he just deserted the army. He thought that more than ten years had passed and no one remembered him. He just came back after hiding from the limelight!"

"Hey, you can't say that. If he was a deserter, how could he make such a big fuss?"

Some people in the crowd objected.

The person who spoke earlier was dissatisfied, "Why can't I speak?

Otherwise, you can tell me why the war has stopped for several years, why did the eldest brother of the Leng family come back only now? The villagers who served in the army with Leng Kang had already returned several years ago."

“When the Leng family members asked them about the head of the Leng family before, they couldn’t explain why there was no news about Leng Kang.

Maybe Leng Kang was a deserter, and the people in the barracks were afraid of disrupting the morale of the troops, so they kept the matter secret, and no one else knew where Leng Kang had gone!"

The man's words made sense, and some villagers in the crowd were not convinced and wanted him to step forward and confront Leng Kang, but the man was like a loach in water, and only dared to fan the flames, and after he was done, he ran away faster than a rabbit.

While everyone was arguing under the big locust tree in the village, Leng Yan and his friends were not idle at home either. They started preparing to make some potato chips and french fries.

Leng Huai, Leng Cang, and the other two, brought potato chips to the private school several times and distributed them to their classmates.

The potato chips are delicious, needless to say. They are crispy and spicy. Anyone who has eaten the first piece will want a second one.

Therefore, the students in the school looked forward to them bringing more potato chips to the school almost every day.

But some time ago, because of Wang Qingshu's matter and the family shop was moving from Tianshui Street to Qing'an Street, the Leng family had been busy for many days and had no time to make potato chips.

This led to the hungry classmates in Leng Huai's private school looking forward to their family making potato chips every day.

Even many of my classmates said they wanted to buy it and had already paid the deposit.

Leng Huai and his friends told Leng Yan about this last night after school.

"It's true, big sister."

Leng Cang echoed earnestly, "There are several classmates who keep talking about buying potato chips from our house every day, to the point where they almost lose their appetite."

"Yeah!"

Leng Huai also answered from the side, with a look of bewilderment and innocence on his face: "I don't know why, they just stuffed all the money into our hands."

"Please save these greedy guys. They are just crazy about potato chips."

Leng Yan was amused when she heard them describe it this way.

Of course, she also understands this feeling. There was a period of time in her previous life when she particularly liked to eat turkey noodles with ice cola. She almost missed it if she didn't eat it for a day.

It feels like an elementary school student who is obsessed with eating spicy noodles and buying playing cards. He doesn’t know why, but he is inexplicably popular and likes them inexplicably.

Therefore, Leng Yan replied: "Okay, it's too late today. I will make more tomorrow. You can take them to the private school then."
