Let’s split up if we want to. I have a system, so who should I be afraid of?

Chapter 58: Ringing the gong to notify the village head of a meeting

After dinner, Su Panpan, the child, and the vixen all returned to their own yard.

The children were tired from playing and went to bed early.

Su Panpan quietly walked to the cabinet and took out the jade pendant.

She lowered her head slightly and stared at the jade pendant intently.

The jade pendant emits a warm luster under the moonlight.

She walked slowly to the window, holding the jade pendant in her hand, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, emitting a cool and mysterious light.

Her face looked particularly gentle in the moonlight, with eyebrows like distant ink, eyes like autumn water, a straight nose, and slightly pursed lips, as if she was in deep thought, or reminiscing.

Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders.

She just stood there quietly.

In the courtyard, the moonlight cast a silver glow, covering everything like a veil.

She fell asleep with curiosity about him!

In the early morning, the soft sunlight is trying hard to penetrate the clouds and slowly spreads over the entire village.

Every corner was gently awakened by this warm light, and the houses, trees, and fields were shrouded in a faint golden halo.

Su Panpan was immersed in sleep, her face was calm and gentle.

Suddenly, a series of rapid gong beatings were heard from outside the courtyard. The sound was clear and loud, accompanied by a loud shout: "After breakfast, everyone, regardless of age, who can walk, must all come to the village head's house for a meeting."

Su Panpan woke up suddenly and got up hurriedly with sleepy eyes.

She quickly washed up and went to the kitchen.

The sunlight came in through the gaps in the window, illuminating her figure.

She skillfully mixed eggs, flour and green onions together, added appropriate amount of salt, and spread them into fragrant pancakes in the pan.

The children were also woken up, washed up, and ate delicious egg and scallion pancakes.

Su Panpan gently wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand and stood up, a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Su Panpan quickly finished her breakfast and was about to take her four children to the headman's house.

As soon as she walked out of the hospital, she saw Shen Ru coming over with her child. When she saw Su Panpan, she quickly waved and said, "Panpan, let's go together."

"Uncle, uncle's wife, good morning. What a coincidence."

"You're here so early too." Qin Youwen nodded with a smile.

The two little girls, Linlin and Sisi, were holding hands, their faces flushed.

Linlin said excitedly, "We're going to a meeting. I wonder what fun things will happen there."

Sisi blinked her big eyes and looked around curiously.

They walked to the door of Zhang's house together.

Su Panpan stepped forward, knocked gently on the door, and called out, "Auntie Wang, Sister Xiu'e, Brother Da Niu, Brother Er Niu, come out quickly! We're going to the village head's house for a meeting."

After a while, the door opened and Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e came out.

Wang Hexiang couldn't help but complain, "Oh, it's so early in the morning, I don't know what's so urgent."

Lin Xiu'e also nodded slightly in agreement.

"Big Cow has already gone to deliver the goods, so let's go. Second Cow will come over later. He eats a lot."

Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e then walked together towards the village headman's house.

Along the way, they discussed the meeting.

Shen Ru asked in confusion, "What on earth is going on? Why are they so anxious to get everyone to the meeting?"

Qin Youwen thought for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe it's something important."

"No matter what it is, you'll know when you get there." Su Panpan didn't want to guess too much and responded casually.

The children chattered about their guesses.

Along the way, the leaves were rustling.

When the villagers arrived at the village head's house, they saw a large crowd already gathered there, bustling with activity and noisy discussions.

Su Panpan frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She subconsciously tightened her grip on the child's hand, secretly pondering the importance of this meeting.

"Wow, so many people are here. It seems that this matter is really unusual." Shen Ru said as she stood on tiptoe, trying to see the situation in front clearly.

"Hey, this is such a big fuss. I wonder what they are doing." The villager carrying a hoe stopped and scratched his head.

"Hey, maybe there's something good." The young man seemed a little excited. He straightened his body and looked through the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.

Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e looked at each other, with worried expressions on their faces.

Wang Hexiang whispered, "With so many people here, could something big have happened?" Lin Xiu'e nodded slightly without saying anything, but her eyes were full of anxiety.

Everyone was looking for familiar faces in the crowd and sharing their guesses with each other.

Some people were whispering to each other, while others were standing quietly, waiting for the headman to appear. The whole scene was filled with tension, but also with a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

At this time, Zhao Cuihua and Qin Youqian's family also appeared in sight.

When Zhao Cuihua passed by, Qin Youwen bowed slightly, nodded to Zhao Cuihua with a smile, and called out "Mom".

Zhao Cuihua ignored her and continued walking forward, no longer having the domineering attitude she had before.

The villagers around her avoided her and refused to stand with her. Wherever she went, others would leave.

Her figure seemed a little lonely in the crowd. The sunlight was shining on her face, but it could not warm her cold expression.

Qin Youqian, Fang Tingting, Qin Yanyan and Qin Lang also followed Zhao Cuihua behind.

The whole family seemed particularly awkward. Some were curious about what would be discussed in the meeting, while others were pointing fingers at Zhao Cuihua behind her back.

Just as everyone was discussing, the village head strode over.

His face was serious, and with a word of "Quiet", the noisy crowd instantly quieted down.

The headman's voice was steady and powerful: "Today we have a very important announcement. There is an enemy invasion on the border a little past our neighboring Anyuan Prefecture, and there is a battle on the front line. The emperor has just ascended the throne and to boost morale, he personally went to the front. The whole country is transporting grain to the front line. A section of the original route collapsed, so a temporary grain transportation route has been added. Our village was chosen because it is flat and more convenient for transporting supplies, but the original road in our village is not wide enough, which will affect the progress of the grain transport troops. Therefore, now everyone is mobilized. No matter men, women, old or young, everyone in the family must participate in road construction. The elderly and children under 6 years old will work at home, cook and deliver water."

After hearing this, the villagers began to whisper.

After the village head announced the news, the crowd exploded.

"Building roads is no easy task," said the skinny Li Ergou, frowning. A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes. "We haven't even finished planting our own land yet, so how can we have time to build roads?"
