Ling Xue was not idle either. She brought a few little girls from the village to cover the big round table with a disposable tablecloth so that it would be easier to clean up after the meal.
The tablecloths were laid out, and large buckets of drinks and alcohol were placed on each table, as well as some melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, and cashews, so that people who came would not have to sit there idle.
So although the yard looked lively, it was not chaotic, because everyone who came found a table with whom they could get along and sat down to chat, and the only people running around were the children.
The villagers' living conditions are not bad, and no one comes to the banquet empty-handed.
An old man from the village was sitting under the eaves with a big bucket next to him. Basically, everyone who came had to go over and throw the red envelopes directly into the bucket, and put the daily necessities in their hands directly into the living room.
No one keeps accounts, everyone comes according to their heart, and you can give as much as you want as a gift, and no one will force you not to give. This is probably a custom in their village in the back mountains!
"Xiaoxue, congratulations!" Li Lele's voice came, and Ling Xue hurriedly walked up to greet him.
Although Li Lele is the neighbor next door, Ling Xue didn't have a very good relationship with her before. The two of them belong to the control group and have to compare everything.
However, they did not openly quarrel with each other, so they just got along peacefully. Therefore, Li Lele's family did not come to help this time.
Li Lele actually wanted to come over to help earlier, but her friend was there to discuss something, and she really couldn't leave. As for her mother, she was absolutely unwilling to come to help. Li Lele tried to persuade her several times without any effect, so she had to give up.
"Thank you, come and sit down!"
Ling Xue invited Li Lele's family to sit in an empty seat and didn't say anything else. Although Li Lele's family didn't come to help, they were carrying a lot of things, including a four-piece set of bed sheets and quilt covers, as well as some bowls and plates. The most eye-catching thing was that Li Lele was holding a large bouquet of flowers.
Therefore, as soon as Li Lele came over, he received everyone's attention.
In rural areas, few people give such flashy things as gifts. Everyone gives gifts based on something more practical.
A large bouquet of flowers is quite unique and everyone is still very curious about it.
Li Lele wanted to have a few words with Ling Xue, at least to make Ling Xue no longer hostile to her. Although Ling Xue no longer had that tit-for-tat attitude towards her, but still, who knew what she was thinking in her heart?
But Ling Xue was too busy today and had no time to chat with her, so she could only smile apologetically at Li Lele and walked away.
Many villagers came in at the door. Ling Xue didn't know many of the newly married young wives, so she had to rely on elders and peers to introduce them one by one.
She didn't feel anything when she was busy, but once she stopped, Ling Xue really felt that she had spent a lot of energy.
She took the time to open a small bottle of drink and started drinking it, which finally allowed her to catch her breath.
"The feast has begun—"
Uncle Liao shouted loudly, and everyone around the table began to clean up the garbage and empty plates on the table because the food was about to be served!
As plates of cold dishes were served, the young man serving the dishes would shout out the names of the dishes from time to time to let everyone know.
Soon everyone started eating and drinking!
Ling Xue and the Liao family members did not sit at the table as they were still busy serving the dishes and replenishing the drinks.
The other people who did not sit at the table to eat were the young men from the village who came to help, as well as Chef Liu and the people he brought with him. Those who did not sit at the table to eat had to wait until the villagers who were eating and drinking had left before they could sit down to eat.
