The next day
After the village head had breakfast, he led the villagers of the whole village, standing under the scorching sun at the entrance of the village welcoming the county magistrate, until it was almost noon. Everyone was sweating profusely and straining their eyes in anticipation.
A large train of carriages finally appeared in the distance.
Everyone suddenly became excited...
"Look, look, the county magistrate has really appeared."
"Oh my! Indeed, I've lived my whole life and never seen such a high-ranking official come to our village. This time, Mo Family Village has become famous all around the neighborhood." An old man, drenched in sweat and grinning broadly, chuckled joyfully as if he had found gold.
The village head couldn't stop smiling, his teeth bared and his eyes squinting: "Yes, it's our past life's fortune that the county magistrate could grace our village with his presence."
