章節 225: Chapter 214: Going to the Countryside

The county magistrate's visit to the countryside, according to the chief, must showcase the best side, nothing less. If asked about any difficulties, the answer must surely be that there are none.

So, a day in advance, he spread the word to Qili Village that if the county magistrate didn't show up it wouldn't matter, but if he did, they must clean up the village roads and each household should tidy up their homes and bring out their best items.

White rice would be too fake, and even the chief dare not make such a demand, so he insisted that each family prepare meals as they would for the New Year.

Since it had been many years since a county magistrate had visited Qili Village, many of the villagers lacked the experience of hosting a high official, and the village head could only pass along the chief's instructions.
