Mother Xie was relieved when she heard that. Thinking of the full moon banquet, she said, "Xiangyi, your father and I are planning to invite some relatives and friends over. In the village, we will invite one by one if we are not familiar with each other. Do you have any friends to invite?"

"My best friend is Xiaolan," Lin Xiangyi said, "There's nothing else to invite."

Shen Xiaolan must have come with Zhang Pengfei, and Xie's father and mother had already included her.

Mother Xie asked again: "What about Qingxiao?"

"I think he will invite someone," Lin Xiangyi murmured.

Xie Qingxiao travels around and knows a lot of people, so he has to invite some of them out of courtesy.

"Please reserve two tables for him. My dad will probably invite a few friends over, so you can just reserve one table for him."

"Okay," Xie's mother said, "Leave the full moon banquet to me and your father. You can have a good rest. Let Xiao focus on business matters. But meat..."

Lin Xiangyi: "Go talk to Qingxiao about the meat later and ask him to go to the meat processing factory or find my dad."

"good."

Soon it was the day before the full moon banquet.

"My son, why did you pee again? It's only been less than an hour," Lin Xiangyi wailed.

Her older son didn't feel his mother's collapse, and he grinned at her happily and innocently with his toothless mouth.

"Little rascal! Still laughing!" Lin Xiangyi pinched his little face and changed his diaper helplessly.

After changing the diaper, he took it out and said to Aunt Zhao who was squatting beside the water tank washing diapers: "Aunt, I have to trouble you to wash one more diaper. The boy peed again."

"It's normal for children of this age to urinate frequently. Just put it here," Aunt Zhao said with a smile.

Lin Xiangyi put the soiled diapers in the basin, which was full of diapers, all of which had been happily used last night.

She carried Lele into the main room. Xie's mother was inside, holding Kuai Kuai in one hand and drinking porridge with the other.

He quickly raised his head and looked towards them. Perhaps he smelled his mother's scent and babbled towards her.

"Kuai Kuai wants you to hug me too," Xie's mother said with a smile.

Lin Xiangyi wanted to give Lele to Xie's mother, but as soon as she made a move, Lele burst into tears.

Mother Xie: "Lele also wants you to hold her."

Lin Xiangyi: “…” What a sweet burden.

Of course Lin Xiangyi couldn't hold both brothers at the same time. It wasn't because she was not strong enough, but mainly because babies of this age were too soft and she was afraid she couldn't hold them.

She put them in their cribs and sat beside them, teasing one and then the other.

Xie's mother sat beside them eating porridge and asked, "Xiangyi, has Axiao contacted the meat processing factory for the full moon banquet? Can he get it tomorrow morning?"

"Of course," Lin Xiangyi said, "I want 30 kilograms of pork, 30 pig's trotters, and 30 fish. I'll bring them back tomorrow morning... Is that enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough," Xie's mother smiled from ear to ear. They were going to have thirty tables for the full moon banquet, each table containing a pound of pork, a pig's trotter and a fish. In addition, the family would kill fifteen chickens, and they had also planned a few vegetarian dishes - it was considered a very sumptuous banquet in their village.

As they were talking, Aunt Xie's voice came from outside: "Aying and Aju, they are a perfect match!"

Lin Xiangyi looked out and saw Aunt Xie and Xie Guoqiang and his wife carrying their luggage, sticking their heads in from the door and greeting them.

"Aunt, Guoqiang, Xiaomei, are you going to the city?" Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile.

"yes."

Mother Xie cried out, "That's such a pity. Tomorrow is the happy full moon banquet. Aren't you going to miss it?"

"Yeah, I feel regretful too. I was thinking of going the day after tomorrow, but Xiaomei just said that her stomach felt a little uncomfortable. I'm afraid it's a sign of going into labor, so it's better to go earlier just in case," Aunt Xie said regretfully.

"Then we should go earlier," Lin Xiangyi said, "Even if we can't have a happy full moon banquet, it's good enough for us to have the baby in Xiaomei's belly."

"Haha, ok," Aunt Xie and the others laughed.

"Xiangyi, the friend that Xiao mentioned..."

"His name is Liang Heping," Lin Xiangyi said, "He is waiting for you at the bus station and will take you to the house we rented. He has the key."

"Okay," Aunt Xie said gratefully, "With you here, we save a lot of trouble. We have a house to live in when we go to the city, and we don't even have to carry so much luggage!"

"What's the big deal? Don't family members have to help each other?" Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, and then she remembered something and said, "Yes, aunt, I really do have something to ask you for help!"

"What's up?"

"We are going to hold a full moon banquet tomorrow, aren't we?" Lin Xiangyi said, "My eldest sister and her family will probably be back later, but we don't have any rooms at home. Do you think we can stay at your house for two nights?"

"Sure, Guoqiang and Xiaomei are not at home, so the room is empty," said Aunt Xie, looking at Xie Guoqiang and Su Xiaomei.

"You can stay in our room, but we left in a hurry. If you had told me earlier, I would have cleaned it up. It must be a mess now..." Su Xiaomei said embarrassedly.

"It's okay. My eldest sister will definitely not dislike it. Just don't dislike them."

"That's definitely not the case." Su Xiaomei said with a smile.

As he spoke, Uncle Niu drove the ox cart to pick up Aunt Xie and the others.

Lin Xiangyi said goodbye to them: "Then you guys go, auntie, be careful, and call or telegram back if anything happens."

"Okay, let's go then."

"Xiangyi, your elder sister told you that they will be back tonight?" Xie's mother asked.

"I don't know," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "I just thought that my elder sister and the others always came back early when something happened before, so I thought it might be the same this time. Anyway, no matter whether it is or not, it's always better to be prepared."

Mother Xie was stunned when she heard this. Lin Xiangyi actually thought of something that she had not even thought of.

This shows that he cares about Sister Xie's family.

Mother Xie was happy, but said, "There's no need to go far away. There are still rooms at home. Isn't your eldest brother's room empty?"

"Brother and the others are not coming back?" Lin Xiangyi was surprised.

Mother Xie paused and said reluctantly: "He said so, but I guess he won't come back."

"That's not necessarily true," Lin Xiangyi said, "Let elder sister and her family live in Xiaomei's house, so as to avoid trouble when elder brother and his wife come back."

"It's okay. If they don't come back tonight, let your elder sister and the others live in their room," Xie's mother insisted. "Just move in when they come back. There's no point in leaving the room empty when they don't come back and letting your elder sister stay at someone else's house."

Lin Xiangyi: "..." She knew that Xie's mother was still angry.

It was probably because Second Sister Xie said last time that Big Brother Xie would come back, but he didn’t come back in the end.
