Each table was set with roasted melon seeds, roasted peanuts, fruit candies, fruit, and tea.

An Qingbai arrived shortly afterward.

The two stood together, and everyone couldn't help but look at them.

Zhuang Zhimeng appeared calm, but was actually very shy, and spoke quietly to An Qingbai.

"Brother Qingbai, I'm suddenly so nervous, I feel like everyone's watching us!"

An Qingbai comforted her.

"Don't be nervous, Zhizhi. After today, no one will be watching us anymore!"

Just as Zhuang Zhimeng was about to speak, An Hongbin arrived.

Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai didn't have time to talk and immediately went to greet them.

"Uncle Hongbin, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you to take charge of the cooking!"

An Hongbin laughed.

"Haha, I guess I'm not too late?"

Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and shook her head.

"It's not too late, you've come at just the right time!"

Then Zhuang Zhimeng looked at An Qingbai.

"Brother Qingbai, why don't you take Uncle Hongbin over there?"

An Qingbai led An Hongbin to the cooking area before returning.

An Baogen and Tian Cuie have arrived.

Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai stepped forward to greet them.

"Uncle Baogen, Aunt Tian, ​​you've arrived! Please take a seat, and help yourselves to the food on the table!"

An Baogen and Tian Cuie both responded to Zhuang Zhimeng and the other with smiles.

"Alright, you all go greet the others, don't worry about us!"

Next, Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai greeted all the invited guests one after another.

Once all the guests were seated, the two families took their seats one after another.

They specifically hired a few villagers to help serve the dishes, on the condition that they could take the dishes home.

The engagement banquet officially began at 11:00 a.m.

Zhuang Bingqian, as the patriarch, stood up and began to speak.

"Thank you all for taking the time to attend the engagement banquet of Comrade Zhuang Zhimeng and Comrade An Qingbai."

Please enjoy the food and drinks, and forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality!

"Let's start serving the food now!"

Hearing Zhuang Bingqian's calls from the kitchen, dishes were brought to the table one after another.

Cold dishes are served first, followed by hot dishes. Each table has ten dishes: six cold dishes and four hot dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

The guests felt they had come to the right place when they saw the dishes, and they picked up the food with their chopsticks in a flash, creating a very lively atmosphere.
