Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1988 Almost Made a Big Mistake
Yiyuan Ranch is now the most important enterprise in the entire Mingqian County. Various cakes are constantly being launched, especially the moon cakes that Ji Donglai ate at his wedding, which are now gifts that all tourists must taste and take away.

The price is very affordable, each piece is definitely no more than two dollars, and no price increase is allowed.

Mooncake boxes are not provided by supermarkets and are sold on the streets. They are made of environmentally friendly paper and have successfully helped many tourists save a lot of money.

The old five-nut mooncakes, which come in a stack of five, are soft, glutinous, delicious, not greasy at all, and can be bent.

The restaurant where Ji Donglai held his wedding banquet has now been expanded, and the four surrounding shops are all his business. Zhao Shuying has secretly let Yi Shi invest in them.

The prices of dishes in the store are now divided into high, medium and low ranges.

Many young couples come here to hold their weddings. Now the local villagers' horse-drawn carriage wedding convoys have become an industry. You can see a group of people getting married on the street, mostly young people.

Half of the vegetables produced daily at the vegetable planting bases in dozens of mining scenic spots are consumed in major hotels in Mingqian County, and a quarter are taken away by tourists.

As for the local livestock meat, half of the strong tourists eat barbecue, which tastes amazing when paired with local wild onion leaves.

"Come over and eat barbecue. Isn't that your favorite? Stop jumping!"

At Ji Donglai's home, Ji Zhensheng was still doing somersaults back and forth. Ji Donglai, wearing an apron, had already mixed all kinds of meat.

At this time, Qiu Haitang's lower abdomen had begun to bulge. Under Qiu Haitang's guidance, Ji Zhensheng continued to practice martial arts, and the fat on his body began to shrink, and he had muscles on his stomach and arms.

"Mom, can I eat meat?"

When Ji Zhensheng heard that he could eat meat, he immediately became energetic.

"Half a pound, a little more means a hundred more somersaults!"

"I can flip over 200 times, time to eat meat, ha ha ha..."

Hearing that it was okay to eat meat, Ji Zhensheng did a somersault and almost hit the table. Ji Donglai quickly moved the table to the side, and Ji Zhensheng quickly stepped back.

"You overturned the table and you celebrate the New Year first, you are lawless!"

Ji Donglai glared at Ji Zhensheng and waved the shovel in his hand. Ji Zhensheng hurriedly retreated behind Qiu Haitang. Among the whole family, Ji Zhensheng was the one who was most afraid of being a father.

"Okay, time to eat! You didn't control your strength well enough, so stop showing off next time and be careful of mixed doubles!"

"Oh, then will there be meat to eat after the fight?"

"Get lost, you're acting more and more pitiful, eat quickly, or you'll be roasted!"

Looking at his son's funny appearance, Ji Donglai smiled.

The fragrant barbecued meat was served with wild onions and various seasonings. Ji Donglai grilled it while his mother and daughter ate it. The drinks from Yakou were at room temperature, while Ji Donglai drank local beer. The family was having a great time.

"Jingle Bell……"

Ji Donglai's family was having dinner when the phone rang urgently. Qiu Haitang took a look and couldn't help but frown.

"it's me!"

Picking up the phone, Qiu Haitang was very impatient.

Recently, new subordinates have been constantly replaced, causing the original team to start asking for instructions on everything again.

The person who called today is in charge of police affairs. Today, a fugitive murderer from a town in Mingqian County returned home to participate in ancestor worship and was discovered by the village grid worker.

The village has now been surrounded, but the villagers refused to enter the village to arrest people, so the other party asked for permission.

"Contact the local police station, this is your business..." The voice on the phone was very loud, and Ji Donglai happened to hear what was said. When Qiu Haitang was halfway through speaking, Ji Donglai immediately waved his hand, and Qiu Haitang was stunned.

In the past, Ji Donglai never got involved in such matters. He quickly asked the other party to wait and covered the microphone with one hand.

"What do you want to say?"

Looking at her husband, Qiu Haitang felt a little unhappy.

"Do you remember the Danzhou case a few years ago?"

"Ah... It's bad... Everyone, retreat outside the village. No one is allowed to enter the village. Wait for me to get over there!"

When Ji Donglai mentioned the Danzhou case, Qiu Haitang's mind buzzed. It reminded him of the case that his teacher had emphasized when he was studying. Normally, the other party would not think of it at all, even if they encountered the same situation.

Ji Donglai's words reminded the other party that the incident back then was caused by the fact that both parties were innocent, but resulted in hundreds of people being punished.

"I'll drive you there, Zhensheng. Clean up after you finish eating. I'll give you my portion, too!"

Qiu Haitang was worried that his men might act recklessly in such a complicated matter, so he immediately prepared coats. Ji Donglai was worried about Qiu Haitang's safety, so he hurried over with the things.

Ji Zhensheng knew that he could eat meat without worry today. His parents just left without any hesitation, so a few pieces of uncooked meat went into his stomach.

Along the way, there was a police car in front of Ji Donglai with sirens blaring. An hour later, Qiu Haitang arrived at the scene wearing a coat.

The village cadres, the local village head, and the person in charge of the case were also waiting, as were a large number of police officers. Across the river, the crowds of ordinary people on the other side were confronting the crowd, and the situation was very urgent.

"Village chief, we hope you can cooperate with our actions. After all, the person has committed a crime. We hope you can persuade the other party's parents. We will not enter the village."

"We will go after you have completed your own rituals and allow us to enter the village. If the family members can bring people out, we will not go in. People's livelihood is the most important thing in everything."

Looking at the old man in his sixties, Qiu Haitang took off his mask and patiently guided him.

The old village chief was very surprised. Qiu Haitang's attitude was completely different from that of the village cadres. Just now, the village cadres and the responsible persons were ready to launch a strong attack, but now Qiu Haitang was like this, and the other party was a little confused.

"Old village chief, this is Secretary Qiu..."

"Ah, Haitang! Got it, kid. I'll send the person to you three days after New Year's Day! The feng shui of the village cannot be broken. We are holding a memorial ceremony now. It's unlucky for you to enter the village. It may also make you sick."

Knowing that the person in front of him was Qiu Haitang, the old village chief began to take him seriously.

In the past two years, with Qiu Haitang's governance, the economy of Mingqian County has undergone earth-shaking changes, especially this village.

Until now, the village still has a large ancestral hall. The whole village has the same surname. If the hat attacks this time, the villagers have prepared muskets and hatchets.

Moreover, the village’s ancient moat is still there, and the surrounding houses all have arrow holes.

Although the villagers no longer hunt in recent years, they still have bows and arrows.

Knowing that the gang was coming into the village to arrest people, the villagers immediately united in their hatred of the enemy and even drew gasoline from their cars.

"Thank you, old village chief. It's a good thing that you can understand the bigger picture. We will be waiting in the county. Thank you!"

Holding the old village chief's hand, Qiu Haitang bowed respectfully, with great effort, and the old village chief hurriedly returned the greeting.

In this way, Qiu Haitang personally watched his men retreat, and only then did the villagers put down their various weapons.
