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

After the plates were divided, the serving team was quickly formed.

The young people in the village, Zhao Gensheng, Xiao Shitou, Gou Zi, and Tie Zhu volunteered to take on the role of waiters. They held the plates steadily in their hands and shuttled back and forth between the tables, chairs, and benches.

"Be careful, don't spill it."

"Here, here, deliver to this table first." Everyone reminded each other and cooperated tacitly.

Every dish served to the table would cause a burst of exclamations from the villagers.

The children were not idle either. They ran around in the crowd, passing small items to the adults or helping to set the table.

The whole scene was extremely lively, filled with laughter and strong nostalgia.

With everyone's joint efforts, twenty banquet tables were soon arranged in an orderly manner, and the villagers were waiting to enjoy this sumptuous meal together.

There were also a few children watching eagerly and swallowing their saliva from time to time.

A little boy couldn't help it and secretly reached out to grab a piece of braised pork. When he was discovered by the adults, he quickly retracted his hand. His shy and greedy look made everyone laugh again.

On the altar, there are tablets dedicated to the God of Land and the God of Roads, surrounded by rich offerings.

The sacrificial ceremony began. Meng He, who was in charge of the grand sacrifice, was dressed in solemn traditional costumes. His dark robe fluttered gently in the breeze, and the embroidery on the corners of the robe was faintly visible, showing the ancient solemnity and mystery.

He looked solemn, like a steady mountain, and slowly walked to the makeshift altar.

Every step was steady and powerful, as if carrying the expectations of the entire village.

Meng Hexian adjusted his sleeves slightly, and his slender fingers looked particularly solemn in the sunlight.

Then he raised his hands solemnly, palms facing up, as if receiving power from the gods.

His eyes were focused and pious, staring closely at the tablets of the land god and road god on the altar. His deep gaze seemed to contain endless awe and prayer.

Clearing his throat, Meng He recited a prayer aloud: "God of Land and God of Roads, today Huaxi Village's new road is completed, a blessing for the entire village. May the God of Land bless our village with fertile soil and bountiful harvests. May the God of Roads ensure that our new road is smooth and safe for pedestrians and vehicles passing through. This road connects us to the gods, transporting supplies to the front lines and contributing to the prosperity of our country. I hope the gods will have mercy on our village and bless it."

His voice was loud and firm, echoing in the air like a huge bell, shaking the hearts of every villager.

After finishing the recitation, Meng He slowly bent down and respectfully bowed three times deeply towards the tablet.

As he stood up, he tilted his head slightly and said to the villagers behind him, "Let us pray together for the blessing of the gods for our new road, for our village, and for our country."

The villagers listened quietly with pious expressions.

Old man Li nodded slightly and prayed silently in his heart: "God bless us, let our lives get better and better, let our children be safe and live a better life."

The young man next to him, Zhao Gensheng, also secretly made a wish: "May this road lead us out of the mountains, allow us to see a wider world, and bring us more opportunities."

Lin Xiu'e: "I hope my family can travel safely on this new road, and I hope our village will prosper because of it."

Although the children did not quite understand the significance of the sacrifice, they were also infected by the solemn atmosphere. They stood quietly by, their eyes full of curiosity and awe.

The green smoke rises up, as if carrying everyone's expectations into the distance.

"This road will surely ensure smooth passage for pedestrians and vehicles." A villager whispered, and the people around him nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the village head, county magistrate and prefect stepped forward to speak in turn.

The village head said solemnly, "Fellow villagers, you have all worked hard recently, dedicating yourselves to building roads and fighting on the front lines. Now, please allow our county magistrate and prefect to speak."

"That's right, this road connects our destiny with that of the country. We must contribute our own strength to the peace of the country." The county magistrate said a few simple words and quickly gave the opportunity to speak to the prefect.

The prefect cleared his throat and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, the construction of this road is of great significance. It not only facilitates our travel, but also provides important guarantees for front-line combat." His voice was loud and powerful, and it spread throughout the venue.

Finally, the prefect loudly announced that the new road was officially open.

The villagers immediately cheered, and the cheers and applause mixed together and resounded through the sky.

"You guys are amazing, thank you for your hard work, let's eat now!"

The villagers sat around the table that had been prepared long ago.

At the same time, the lively dragon and lion dance teams appeared on the stage.

The bright colors are particularly dazzling in the sun. The young men dancing the dragon are agile and the giant dragons in their hands fly up and down like a flash of lightning.

The lion dance team was not to be outdone. The lions shook their heads and tails, looking very vivid.

They marched happily along the newly built road, each step full of energy.

Some villagers who had not had time to sit down and were standing by the road made way, their eyes full of amazement and joy.

The children excitedly shuttled through the crowd, clapping their hands and cheering: "Look, the dragon is coming, and the lion is coming too!"

The village head, county magistrate and prefect stood aside, watching the lively scene with gratified smiles on their faces.

The village head stroked his beard, feeling deeply moved: "This road is finally completed. Let's take a seat, Your Excellency the Prefect and the County Magistrate."

"please."

"please."

As the village head, county magistrate and prefect took their seats, the banquet suddenly became lively.

Adults and children were all immersed in the feast of delicious food. The scene could only be described as crazy.

The children held their bowls and stuffed their mouths full.

Qin Mu, Qin Xiao, and a few other friends ate while excitedly chatting, "Wow, this braised pork is so delicious!"

Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled, "Yeah, and that tofu, I can eat another bowl."

Yueyue, Sisi and Linlin also nodded continuously. Baoer, who had been rescued from the water some time ago, ate happily, as if he wanted to put all the delicious food into his stomach.

They squatted on the street, completely disregarding their image, and enjoyed this rare delicacy to their heart's content.

The adults were no less excited, eating their food with big mouthfuls and discussing enthusiastically.

"This banquet is really sumptuous. I didn't expect that there would be such delicious food in our village."

"That's right, Su Panpan's cooking skills are simply amazing."

"Did she learn cooking in the city before?" Everyone praised Su Panpan's cooking skills.

"Here, take a sip."

"Dry!"

"No, I have to eat first. This is too delicious."
