What's more, today is a joyous day, and with the ample preparation of ingredients, each banquet table abounded with dishes, including five meat courses.
Relatives and fellow villagers seated at the tables were eating their fill, with grease lining their mouths, praising Captain Kang for knowing how to treat people well and boasting about him having a fine son-in-law.
In keeping with tradition, once the dishes were almost finished, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing, led by Big Uncle Kang and his wife, went from table to table, toasting the guests.
Owing to the tight space in the courtyard, there were eight tables; thus, it was Captain Kang who decided to set up the banquet outside in the village lane. This naturally attracted onlookers who stood at a distance, drawn in by the aroma wafting from the tables, almost each of them swallowing their saliva involuntarily.
Envious of those who were seated and eating.
