At that moment, the village center was bustling with excitement.
The adults were gathered in groups, large and small, smoking and chatting, occasionally cracking crude jokes.
The children loved such lively scenes even more, going wild with joy.
The village's main clearing was packed with people from all around, hundreds of families, and when including children, the number neared a thousand.
Fortunately, the main clearing at the head of Liuhu Village was large enough to accommodate so many people.
The originally noisy crowd quieted down as soon as they noticed Chen Yang and Wu Kexin arriving.
The smoking men also threw away their cigarette butts and gathered together, waiting for Chen Yang and Wu Kexin to speak.
Chen Yang and Wu Kexin made their way through the crowd and stood on a large rock at the head of the village.
Meanwhile, other village leaders had gathered around.
"President Wu, you've gathered us all here today to discuss the mining behind Liuhu Village, right?"
