The secretary's house was bustling with people both inside and outside, and the road outside was lined with a long row of various wooden tables and stools.
Round, square, big, small, tall, short, all are loaned out voluntarily by each household.
That's how it is in the village. If someone is short of something for a wedding, they can borrow from any of their neighbors and make up the difference.
After two rounds of firecrackers were thrown, there was a cloud of white smoke mixed with the unique smell of gunpowder. The children from every family were having fun, as if they were celebrating the New Year in advance.
