"Just got back!" Sheng Ning greeted people with a smile.
"Is it for a wedding this time? Have you set the date?"
"We have, it's on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Remember to come and have a drink then."
"Will do, for sure."
In the countryside, that's usually how it goes. Whenever a family holds a banquet, it's highly likely the whole village will attend. There's not much to pay for the participation, just one or two yuan, as the goal is to join in the fun. Originally according to Sheng Ning's wishes, it was just going to be a meal with some close relatives and friends from both families. However, Sheng Laosan disagreed; it had been over ten years since the Sheng family had held a celebration, and this time they must celebrate in style.
The two sisters walked together to the market, both in excellent physical shape! Thanks to her intense, long-term training at the General Union, Sheng Ning found the hour-long walk a breeze.
