Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Watching Chu Chen leave, everyone understood that this was a benefit they were receiving.

At this moment, Feng Er stepped forward and said, "Everyone, this Chu boy cares about us, so let's work harder in the future, so that we won't let Chu boy down."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.

Chu Dazhuang followed Chu Chen back home.

Looking at the newly completed house and Xiaofang and Li Qinglian who were about to move their things in, they were impressed.

She quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Qinglian, this Chu boy is ignorant, and so are you. How can you just move into this new house like that?"

Chu Chen turned to look at Chu Dazhuang and asked in confusion, "Second Uncle, this house is for living in, so why can't we live in it?"

"Oh dear, you spendthrift! When a new house is completed, there should be a fire-lighting ceremony for good luck."

He then added, "Anyway, you can't stay tonight. Let me ask the sage to find an auspicious day and then we'll talk about it."

Chu Chen immediately stopped Chu Dazhuang: "Um, Second Uncle, I don't care that much, let's forget it."

"No, I can listen to you on other things, but on this matter, you have to listen to me. After all, I am your child's elder."

After some back and forth, Chu Chen couldn't persuade him otherwise.

After much persuasion, both sides compromised, and the fire-lighting ceremony will be held tomorrow.

In fact, Chu Chen knew that even in modern society, people would choose an auspicious day.

Moreover, this was in a feudal society.

Therefore, Chu Dazhuang took charge of handling this matter.

It just so happens that tomorrow is also a holiday, so everyone in the village is here.

Chu Dazhuang spread the news, and the whole village got excited.

Knowing that there would be plenty of food the next day, Chu Chen gave Hu Zi 50 taels of silver that very night, instructing him to prepare the banquet early the next morning.

Well, my super-powerful second uncle will have to sleep in a tent again tonight.

However, sleeping in a tent seems to be quite nice.

The image of Gu Xiufang reappeared in Chu Chen's mind.

Indeed, it's not the eighteen-year-old girl that's scary, but the thirty-five-year-old woman.

The next morning, Feng Er's big yellow dog seemed very excited, just as dawn was breaking.

He started howling right at the entrance of the village.

Chu Chen still didn't see Gu Xiufang, who had left sometime earlier. He stretched and crawled out of the tent.

He walked slowly towards home.

This sight gave Chu Chen a huge fright.

There was a large crowd gathered around his new house, making it quite lively.

Chu Chen was so frightened that he almost drew his pistol, but when he got closer, he realized that they were the villagers of Mashan Village.

They arrived at Chu Chen's new home early in the morning.

They were carrying all sorts of things in their hands.

Some carried millet, some carried old hens, and some even carried a bunch of wild vegetables.

These are probably the best things the village can offer.

Looking at these enthusiastic villagers, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel moved.

What a simple and unpretentious scene.

Some people are rolling in money, but they're always trying to squeeze every last bit of food out of you.

And some people, who are so poor that all they have left on their backsides is mud, still want to give you the best.

To be honest, from this moment on, Chu Chen slowly began to feel that he currently had this ability.

It's time to revitalize the entire Mashan Village.

At the very least, we must ensure that everyone has enough to eat, enough to wear, that the elderly have support, and that children have access to education.

So, with a touched expression, he put away his pistol and walked towards the crowd.

"Congratulations, Chu boy, on moving to your new home!" Wang Defa said with a grin, carrying two old hens.

As Wang Defa spoke, the others also offered their blessings.

For a time, all sorts of voices were heard.

Chu Chen waited until everyone quieted down before speaking loudly.

"Thank you all for thinking so highly of me. I, Chuwazi, am unworthy of such kindness and devotion. I am deeply grateful for your concern."

After speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone.

"But let's make it clear beforehand that none of us are well-off, and the workshop workers' wages won't be paid until the end of the month."

"Therefore, Chuwazi will not accept any of your belongings. Everyone should take them back."

"And then, today, right here, everyone come over, and we'll drink until we drop."

In the end, at Chu Chen's insistence, everyone took their things back.

Chu Chen knew that these things meant nothing to him.

But for most people, that might be all there is to it.

After everyone returned, they were all eager to get back to work.

Under Chu Dazhuang's arrangement, a fire was lit, a pot was set up, and water was fetched to wash the dishes.

Tiger also gave Chu Chen a strict order: don't come back until you've spent all fifty taels.

So, as the sun slowly shone on Mashan Village.

Tiger and a few other young men drove three oxcarts back to Mashan Village.

Three carts were filled with food and drinks, thanks to everyone's hard work.

Everything turned into a fragrant meal in the pot.

Outside the house, tables, chairs, and benches had already been set up by various households.

There were about twenty tables set up.

There are only about two hundred people in the entire Mashan Village, so ten people per table is just right.

Therefore, Chu Chen specially sent someone to secretly bring Li Qinglian's mother to Mashan Village.

Seeing her son-in-law's grand entrance, Liu Damei shed tears of relief and joy.

Amidst Chu Dazhuang's repeated calls of "in-law," he was led into the main room to sit down.

Meanwhile, Li Qinglian's father, brother, and sister-in-law were searching the world for Liu Damei to make them breakfast.

Around noon, the entire Mashan Village was bustling with activity.

Everyone has a happy smile on their face.

At Chu Chen's request, Mashan Village no longer had so many rules; men, women, girls, and children all had to sit at the table to eat.

The men drank heartily, while the women gathered in small groups, eating meat and exchanging information about the village.

The children, carrying big bones and large lamb legs, ran all over the village.

Wang Defa, Chu Dazhuang's family, and Chu Chen and his group sat in the living room.

Seeing this lively scene, Wang Defa smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that Mashan Village has been plagued by natural disasters for the past few years and hasn't been this lively in a long time.

The last time was when Chuwazi hunted a wild boar.

"Chuwazi, on behalf of Mashan Village, thank you."

Wang Defa raised his glass and said to Chu Chen with a serious expression.

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

This Wang Defa, although he was a bit greedy.

But when it comes to Mashan Village, he's unquestionable. He's always the first to step up and help anyone in need, whether it's facing difficulties or having personal issues.

Although his previous wife had given him some trouble, he has now let go of his resentment with his new wife in his arms.

"Uncle Wang, you've made the biggest contribution to this village. I've only done my part."

Chu Chen said modestly, and downed his drink as well.

Next, Chu Dazhuang led Chu Chen from table to table, toasting him with auspicious words until Chu Chen's ears were numb.

The meal lasted until evening before everyone gradually dispersed.

Chu Chen finally had a chance to lead the group up to the second floor.
