Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

The next morning, Luo Feng was woken up early with huge dark circles under his eyes. Clearly, he hadn't slept well the night before.

Fortunately, Luo Feng wasn't one to let his emotions affect his work. He had long since honed his skills in regulating his emotions through his work in his later years.

Without saying much, Luo Feng immediately called on everyone to get to work.

Although the tasks of chopping, washing, and soaking vegetables were all finished last night, there are still many things to do now.

Putting aside everything else, just stewing soup and stir-frying vegetables are enough to keep everyone busy.

After assigning tasks to everyone, Luo Feng took charge of cooking and arranged for everyone to serve the dishes in the order discussed the previous night.

The kitchen was already chaotic enough, and Luo Feng was struggling to keep up. But just as he finished assigning the staff to their tasks, a noisy commotion erupted from the front hall.

It seemed someone had started arguing, but Luo Feng wasn't one to get involved in trouble. Besides, he had a ton of work to do and didn't want to get involved.

But the argument outside grew louder and louder, and there were even sounds of things being smashed.

"Oh no, is there a fight outside?" With a head full of questions, Luo Feng finally ran out of the kitchen.

When I got to the hall, good heavens, the husband's family and the wife's family were actually fighting. I really have no idea what was going on.

But the most urgent task right now is not to figure out why they are fighting, but to separate them as soon as possible.

It's strange, on such a joyous occasion, why did the two families have to start fighting?

Despite having many unanswered questions, Luo Feng still tried to step forward and separate the group. He saw that the host family was at a loss.

However, the results were far from what he had expected, and he had clearly overestimated himself.

Looking at the two families fighting in the hall, Luo Feng kept shaking his head. What kind of mess is this?

However, Luo Feng had lived in the future for a long time, so he knew how to handle this situation. He composed himself slightly and picked up the gong beside him, striking it rhythmically.

The sudden sound of gongs left everyone bewildered, but fortunately both sides had already stopped fighting.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Feng quickly jumped onto a chair next to him and said to everyone, "What's going on? You're all grown men, how come you don't understand anything? Who would deliberately choose someone's happy day to make a move?"

Before anyone could respond, Luo Feng asked again, "Can't we talk this out? It's such a joyous occasion, why are you resorting to violence? What kind of grudge do you have?"

"Put any problems aside for now; the wedding banquet still needs to proceed."

"Who are you? Why should we listen to you?" Finally, someone realized they were asking Luo Feng.

"I'm just an outsider, but I can't stand it anymore. Are you here to cause trouble today? You deliberately chose a joyous occasion to cause trouble. Do you know how many years you can be sentenced for fighting? This is illegal!" Luo Feng pointed at the man's nose and said angrily.

Seeing how serious Luo Feng was, everyone was shocked and fell silent, and the scene became quiet.

"Alright, tell me what exactly happened?" Luo Feng asked after a long pause.

“They look down on people,” said a man who appeared to be from the wife’s family.

“Who’s looking down on us? When you come to our village, you should follow our village rules. Aren’t you just trying to cause trouble?” Before Luo Feng could speak, someone from his in-laws’ side said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly you who look down on people."

"Exactly! How can you arrange seating like this? Isn't this a slap in our face?"

"That's the rule in our village. If you're so capable, then don't marry into this family."

"That's right, that's always been the rule in our village, and you have to abide by it once you're here."

……

For a time, the two families were arguing fiercely again.

Luo Feng felt a headache coming on from their constant chatter, so he banged the gong loudly to quiet everyone down.

Amidst the arguing, Luo Feng gradually pieced together the truth of the matter: it seemed the two families were arguing over seating arrangements.

Perhaps because the bride's family lives quite far away this time, the customs on both sides are different.

Logically speaking, Luo Feng had seen many arguments arising from such matters before. But a scene like today, where both sides actually came to blows and a group brawl broke out, was truly rare.

The fact that they're fighting over such a small seating arrangement shows that both sides are die-hards. I can't just keep trying to suppress them! Otherwise, something bad is bound to happen. If they start throwing punches and kicks at me, with my small frame, I probably wouldn't even be a match for them.

It seems I need to use a softer approach, ideally trying to appease both sides without offending either. With this in mind, Luo Feng began attempting to rearrange their seating.

To be honest, there's a lot to learn about arranging seating. In later generations, if you don't do it right, you'll offend your boss. And what happens if you offend your boss? Anyone with common sense should know.

Fortunately, in order to avoid offending his superiors, Luo Feng specifically studied the aforementioned knowledge.

As a result of Luo Feng's arrangement, everyone accepted the seating arrangement. The few stubborn old guys on both sides seemed very satisfied with Luo Feng's arrangement, nodding and giving him thumbs up repeatedly, praising him constantly.

Zhuo Feng was very relieved; it seemed that he had successfully averted a crisis with his wit and courage.

Next, Luo Feng directed everyone to tidy up the messy hall. Seeing that everyone had taken their seats according to his arrangements, Luo Feng then went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

However, due to this farce, the kitchen is still not prepared at all.

There was nothing Luo Feng could do but call the newlyweds' parents over, but the elderly couple apologized to everyone, saying that the feast would probably be served later than usual.

During the conversation, everyone realized Luo Feng's identity. Knowing they were in the wrong, they said nothing.

However, Luo Feng was even busier in the kitchen at this time. Although everyone agreed to let the banquet be served later, it was not good to delay the wedding banquet for too long.

Despite rushing, the meal was served more than an hour later than scheduled.

Originally, Luo Feng and his group planned to cook one dish at a time and serve it one at a time, regardless of the order in which the dishes were served. However, considering that both sides were die-hard rule-followers, this idea was ultimately abandoned.

If any trouble arises because of the rules, then that would be a grave offense.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards, and nothing went wrong, so Luo Feng was finally able to relax.

After lunch, there was dinner. Having learned from the morning's experience, Luo Feng and his team had made preparations in advance, so dinner wasn't too hectic.

With the seating arrangement from the morning already in place, everyone followed suit without question, and this time no one raised any objections.

The banquet ended just like that. Although he didn't know what everyone would be thinking after the meal, Luo Feng didn't have time to think about it.

Luo Feng's daughter only had two days off, and today was already the second day. Therefore, he declined the host family's offer to stay the night. He took his daughter and Shunzi, and also called over Lao Shuan and his son, and prepared to head back.

Seeing that Luo Feng insisted on going back, the elderly couple settled his wages according to the agreed price. The old man even gave him a pack of cigarettes, seemingly very satisfied with Luo Feng's performance that day. Before leaving, the couple made sure the newlyweds saw Luo Feng and the others out of the village, and insisted on giving Luo Feng some sweets and pastries to take with him.

"I have to say, people's hearts are really simple and honest at this time!" Luo Feng sighed silently to himself.
