Chapter 342 Humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind
The former entrance of Gala Village was crowded with people.
Some of these people are villagers in the village, while others are from nearby villages who come to join in the fun.
After all, they also want to see what the archway in Gala Village is like.
At this moment, everyone in the village looked forward to it and looked at the huge archway in front of them with anticipation. The front of the archway was blocked by a red silk, and there was no sign of what it looked like.
There is also a high platform built of wood under the archway. The platform is covered with red cloth, which looks particularly festive.
"The village chief is here!"
Suddenly, a sudden sound rang.
Everyone looked up together.
Bu Fan was supported by Song Laizi and the patriarchs of all tribes in the village, and the crowd gradually gave up a way to pass by.
"Village Chief, you're finally here!"
"What are you calling the village chief now? You want to call the town chief!"
"I almost forgot. I've been accustomed to it for so many years and can't change my mouth for a while."
The crowd suddenly bursts of laughter, and the villagers greeted Bu Fan one after another, and Bu Fan also nodded in response with a smile.
Although every fellow villagers were sweating profusely in this hot summer day, they still could not block the excitement and joy of their eyes.
However, Bu Fan still felt that he would end the unveiling ceremony quickly so that he would not be able to get all the heat.
He didn't expect that the next day, everyone would come to him for treatment.
Walk up the platform.
There was a "swish".
Bu Fan pulled down the red silk covered the arch without hesitation.
The whole audience suddenly became silent.
Everyone did not expect Bu Fan to tear off the red silk directly.
I saw the red silk slowly landing on the ground.
A tall and magnificent archway suddenly appeared under the scorching sun.
Many patterns are carved on the stone archway, including flowers, birds, dragons and tigers, and are in various shapes and lifelike.
There are two lines of characters engraved on the stone pillars on both sides.
It says, "The sea reaches the boundless sky to be the shore, and the mountain reaches the top and I am the peak."
Even though some illiterate villagers heard the academy students recited two lines of poetry, although they didn't understand what it meant, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their hearts.
Especially the three words "Gala Town" are engraved directly above the archway, which makes people even more excited.
"From today, our village is no longer Gala Village, but Gala Town!" Bu Fan cleared his throat and said loudly.
The audience suddenly heard a cheer that rang through the sky.
...
Song Laizi and the tribe leaders were obviously stunned.
"Village Chief, why did you pull off the red silk?" Song Laizi quickly clasped into Bu Fan's ear and whispered.
"What's wrong? Isn't it okay?" Bu Fan asked with a smile and asked back.
"It's not that bad, but you don't think you want to say something?" Song Laizi scratched his head.
"I know what you mean. If you were to be a normal person, you would naturally have to give a speech, but now it is a bit inappropriate!"
Bu Fan looked at Song Laizi and others, shook his head, and looked up at the scorching sun above his head.
Song Laizi and others immediately understood what it meant.
Especially Song Laizi subconsciously stuffed a piece of paper in his hand into his sleeve.
"What's wrong? I've even brought a cheat sheet?"
Bu Fan's eyes were sharp, and naturally saw Song Laizi's small movements and couldn't help but smile.
"Just one!"
Song Laizi smiled awkwardly.
For the unveiling ceremony, he went to the academy and spent several taels of time to ask someone to write it.
"Village Chief, don't laugh at me, not only me, but also Clan Chief Li and others have prepared several pictures!"
Song Laizi was not afraid of the angry gazes around him, and directly exposed the matter, which made Bu Fan amused.
How long does it take to say about the contents of a few sheets of paper for each person?
"Xiaofan, the village has now been changed to a small town. As the mayor of the town, you still have to say something!"
The person who spoke was the old village chief Wang Changgui. At this moment, Wang Changgui held his hands with a kind face.
"I understand, old village chief!"
Bu Fan nodded and slowly raised his hand.
The originally cheering sound was silent in an instant.
Seeing this, Wang Changgui, Song Laizi and the tribe leaders couldn't help but sigh.
Although the village chief has not been in charge of business these years, his reputation is still unabashed.
"Friends, our village is fortunate to become a small town. I know you are very happy, but I am actually very happy. I would like to thank everyone for their efforts over the years. Thank you."
As he said that, Bu Fan leaned over slightly and bowed deeply to the villagers.
This action scared everyone.
"Mayor, you are polite. If it weren't for you, our village wouldn't have today!"
"Yes, mayor, it's because we want to thank you!"
Bu Fan raised his hand again, and the noisy shouts instantly quieted down.
"But we cannot be proud and complacent because of this. As the saying goes, humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. As long as we are humble, serious and do everything carefully, our town will be better in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Laizi, who was standing beside him, immediately applauded enthusiastically.
"The mayor said it well!"
If someone takes the lead, then someone will naturally respond.
For a moment, applause was thunderous.
"Next, please ask the old village chief to come forward and say a few words!"
Bu Fan invited Wang Changgui to the front. Wang Changgui didn't expect Bu Fan to do this, but he quickly reacted and shook his head helplessly.
Wang Changgui came out to speak, Bu Fan retreated to the back with tactfully and stood with Song Laizi.
Perhaps because of Bu Fan, Wang Changgui's speech was also very brief.
Afterwards, the people who came to speak out long stories.
"It's still a village chief. I'm so skillful in saying a few words. That humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. Well, it makes sense!" Song Laizi exclaimed in a low voice.
Bu Fan was about to say something when he suddenly saw a familiar voice.
The figure stood outside the crowd and looked at this side from afar.
"I'll go back first, and I'll leave the matter to you later!"
Before Song Laizi could react, Bu Fan had already got off the platform.
...
Luo Qingcheng lay on Song Xiaochun's shoulder, looking at the excited villagers with a boredom.
Isn’t it just that the village is converted into a town?
Is it necessary to be so excited?
However, although she was bored, she still enjoyed the feeling of lying on Mr. Song’s shoulder.
Feeling the temperature coming from Mr. Song and the masculine aura, she was intoxicated.
Just when he thought about recovering his body, Luo Qingcheng was a little worried about gains and losses.
Originally, she thought that the time for her recovery this time would be the same as last time, but she didn't expect that after so long, she still could not recover from her body.
If this delay continues, Mrs. Song will really let Mr. Song marry the widow.
This is something she doesn't want to see.
"Young Master, are you going back?"
Seeing Song Xiaochun turn and leave, Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but say curiously.
"Um!"
Song Xiaochun let out a light huh.
"Young Master, you are going wrong. The way you go back is to take that one!"
Luo Qingcheng raised the cat's claws and pointed to the original path, "Young Master, you forgot the way you just walked, do you really have a bad sense of direction?"
"I just want to take the shortcut back!"
