In addition to the festivals that can be found on the calendar, people in Changhe County also have many other local festivals, such as festivals to worship Bodhisattvas and festivals to worship the Earth God.
During these festivals, relatives and friends visit each other, drink together, and local families prepare many delicious dishes to entertain their relatives and friends.
Chicken, duck, pork, beef, and fish were all served together, and various kinds of rice cakes were made as return gifts. In short, it was a very lively affair.
For this reason, Yan Xin complained to Lin Xiazhu many times in private, saying that she could not praise it.
"That's because we used to be so hungry that we had to celebrate the festival a day in advance to have a full meal.

As for other relatives, there's no way to entertain them, since their sons, daughters-in-law, daughters, sons-in-law, parents are all migrant workers, and they are also left-behind elderly and left-behind children.
Only a minority of people could stay at home to work; there were millions of farmers, but the vast majority of people remained migrant workers until later generations.
