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

Although Su Panpan hated Li Ergou, she still felt soft-hearted towards the child. She took out some of Yueyue's leftover osmanthus cake from her pocket and gave it to Li Caitian, and told him not to bully others at will.

Li Ergou also nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

The problem was temporarily resolved, the children continued to play, and the villagers continued to repair the road.

The days passed by.

The villagers sweated, worked hard under the scorching sun, and persevered in the wind and rain.

After who knows how many days and nights passed, the originally narrow road gradually took on a new look.

The potholes were filled, the narrow areas were widened, and the road surface became smooth and solid.

Today, the road has been largely repaired. It serves as a promising link between the village and the outside world. This brand new road will soon take on the important task of transporting grain.

In Huaxi Village, the sun shines on the newly built road, creating a golden glow.

The village head, county magistrate and prefect attached great importance to this new road. After careful consideration, they chose an auspicious day and held a ceremony to open the new road of extraordinary significance.

On this day, everyone gathered together and the scene was solemn and warm.

At this time, two carriages slowly drove over, one carriage carrying two fat pigs and some food.

The prefect got off the carriage and said with a smile, "We've brought these two pigs here to celebrate the opening of the new road. Everyone has worked so hard for so long, let's have some fun together today."

"We'll stew one pig today for everyone to eat, and each household will take a portion of the other pig home!"

The villagers were busy preparing for work, but when they heard the prefect's words, they were stunned for a moment.

A moment later, the crowd erupted in exclamations. Old Man Liu stared at the pig on the carriage with wide eyes, disbelieving, and muttered, "Oh my! This is truly..."

Old Li rubbed his hands excitedly and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that the prefect would actually send a pig. We haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Aunt Wang covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise: "This is great! It's been a long time since I tasted meat."

The young men cheered as if it was New Year's Day.

The women were also smiling and talking to each other: "The children will have a good meal now."

The villagers bowed to the prefect in thanks, their thanks filled with shock and joy. The whole scene was lively and full of anticipation for the upcoming feast.

The head of the village smiled and said, "Su Panpan is the chef, everyone come and help." The head of the village asked Su Panpan to be the chef because the magistrate praised her cooking skills a lot after he returned.

Shen Ru, Lin Xiu'e, Lin Yue Niang, Aunt Pang, Aunt Wang, Aunt Liu and others also responded.

Su Panpan rolled up her sleeves and revealed her wrists.

She directed everyone skillfully: "Daniu, Erniu, you guys cut up the pig. Second uncle's wife, you guys wash the vegetables. Xiu'e's wife, you guys cut the vegetables. Lin Yueniang, help light the fire."

Everyone did their job and got busy.

Zhang Daniu and Erniu rolled up their sleeves, revealing their strong arms.

They surrounded the pig and first observed it carefully, as if thinking about where to start.

Da Niu picked up a sharp knife and rubbed it hard on the whetstone a few times. The blade instantly became sharper.

Erniu found a large wooden board and placed the pig steadily on it.

Daniu took a deep breath, raised his knife, and precisely sliced ​​through the pig's belly. His movements were steady and powerful, and each cut was perfectly placed.

Erniu cooperated tacitly and arranged the cut parts neatly.

While they were cutting up the pig, they were talking about the road construction in the village.

Big Ox said, "This road was built just in time. It will make business in our village easier in the future." Second Ox nodded in agreement, "That's right."

Shen Ru was washing the vegetables carefully beside the big bucket. Her hands moved flexibly in the water, washing every leaf clean.

His mouth was also busy, gossiping with the people around him about the latest news in the village: "I heard that the daughter of the old Li family recently found a good husband, and the betrothal gift is very generous."

Lin Xiu'e was concentrating on cutting vegetables. Her knife skills were skillful, and she cut the vegetables into even small pieces.

From time to time, she joined the conversation of her second uncle and his wife: "With the road construction, our village will definitely become more and more lively in the future.

Lin Yueniang sat in front of the stove, deftly adding firewood. The glowing flames illuminated her face. She listened to everyone's conversation and said with a smile, "Now that this road is repaired, life in our village will surely get better and better."

There is steam rising from the stove.

Su Panpan was cooking with great concentration.

She sometimes stir-fried, sometimes added seasonings, her movements skillful and elegant.

Auntie Pang helped pass the seasonings on the side. She smelled the aroma of the food and said with a smile, "Panpan's cooking skills are really amazing."

Wang Ma also nodded and praised: "That's right, I'm in for a treat today."

Aunt Liu was busy while chatting with everyone, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

On the other side, people gathered at the starting point of the newly built road, and the atmosphere was solemn and warm.

All the villagers had happy expressions on their faces and their eyes were full of anticipation.

The prefect was dressed in a formal official uniform, delicately embroidered. His face was serious as he spoke in low voices with the county magistrate and the village head. They nodded slightly from time to time, as if confirming every detail of the ceremony.

The villagers were actively preparing offerings to worship the land god and the road god.

Lao Zhang and Lao Li worked together to lift a fat sheep. They walked steadily and carefully, fearing that they would accidentally disturb the gift that was about to be offered to the god of land.

Aunt Wang was arranging a plate of exquisite pastries.

The young men carried jars of fragrant wine.

Some village girls were busy arranging the fruits, their movements gentle and delicate.

The villagers all contributed their efforts to this important sacrifice.

The plates, bowls and chopsticks in the baskets next to them were sent from every household in the village. The villagers here have already set up the tables, chairs and benches in their homes.

As Su Panpan took the last dish out of the pot, the dishes for twenty tables were ready. They were all served in large pots and were just about to be put on plates.

The tempting aroma instantly spread. At this time, the villagers gathered around, ready to start this grand banquet.

This is a grand occasion. I haven't seen so much meat on a table in three or four years.

Several strong young men took the lead and carefully carried the large basins of food from the stove to the makeshift dining table.

Then, the women with nimble hands picked up spoons and spatulas and began to distribute the dishes onto plates.

Pork bone and kelp soup, garlic vegetables, braised pork, braised tofu, fried pork intestines with pickled radish, steamed pork with taro and rice flour, fried eggs with garlic sprouts, boiled pork slices, and potato ribs.

Their movements were quick and orderly, and soon, plates of delicious dishes were neatly packed.
