On January 17th, the entire Ding Family and Xia Xingchen returned to the Dingping Production Team, giving the old house a thorough cleaning. Although their household registration had long been relocated from the team, the house still stood. After all those years in the same village, there was no reason not to invite them to Ding Anmin's wedding banquet.
The Ding Family and the Huang Family had discussed and settled on the auspicious date of the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month. All the marriage rituals would be completed, and both lunch and dinner celebration banquets would be held at the state-run restaurant.
However, they'll host a few tables of celebration banquet on the evening of the twenty-fourth at the Dingping Production Team, inviting the team members to attend. The newlyweds, Ding Anmin and Huang Xiaobao, would make an appearance and toast the guests, ensuring all formalities were respected.
