Sun San's village is more than two miles away from the county seat. It used to be called "Dongteng". There are about a hundred households, which is too small compared to the large villages in the southern Shanxi plain that often have tens of thousands of people. Nine years ago, it merged with a small village called Xirong in the west to form an administrative village, called "Dongxi Zhuang". Gradually, Dongteng was no longer called Dongteng, but was called "Dongzhuang", and Xirong was also called "Xizhuang". In fact, it is still an independent village with four distinct areas on the plain. Surrounding the village, fields are connected as far as the eye can see. In late autumn, the sunlight seems scarce and the fields are shrouded in mist. Zhuanghe has been harvested, some are plowing the fields to sow winter wheat, some have just started irrigating, and many people are busy in the fields. We can't be busy all the time, and just take a break and talk together.

At noon, after the crackling of firecrackers and fireworks, the old lady was invited out, and her children and grandchildren came forward to pay her birthday amidst the band's music and singing. Afterwards, the guests took their seats. Everyone was busy looking for seats and inviting familiar people to sit with them. After giving in, everyone was busy using their chopsticks. In the courtyard, people were talking, laughing, eating, drinking, fist-clinking and glasses mixed with the sound of the band. The commotion continued like this until around four o'clock in the afternoon, when the last group of relatives and friends of the Zhao family finished eating and left. After clearing away the dishes, the two Zhao brothers and the people from the village who came to help took down the tarpaulin that had been placed over the yard to protect against sun and rain, folded it, and placed it with tables, chairs, porcelain, aluminum pots and boilers in a mess on the small wheel where Liu Wangcai rented out supplies for weddings and weddings. After sending away the helpers, the eldest brother Zhao Jiahe went to calculate the rental fee with Liu Wangcai. The second brother Zhao Jiawang took the remaining half a box of wine and a cigarette to the canteen in the east of the village to settle the bill.
