Xia Jin and her aunt wanted to squeeze over to the table where they were all acquaintances, but when she saw that they were all young people, she felt embarrassed to come over.
It’s better to have acquaintances. When eating with acquaintances, there are fewer concerns. It’s just like at home, without so many rules and embarrassment.
When the dishes were served, the people in the village who came to the banquet were all surprised. After all, they had only attended wedding banquets and there were not so many dishes.
The meat and other things were all solid, unlike the wedding banquets they had attended before, where the meat was stir-fried with vegetables and was just called meat dishes.
The only thing that could be called meat at the wedding banquet was the pork elbow, but now look at the dishes they prepared, they are real meat.
"The Xia family spent a fortune on this dish. If I had known it was so good, I would have skipped dinner yesterday and come here to eat this meal on an empty stomach."
"The Xia family is rich. Who in our village can hold a banquet of this standard these days? Look at these plates, they are all made of real meat."
"If I had known the food at the banquet was so good, I would have brought my youngest son here so he could have a taste as well."
"Who said it wasn't? I knew their family was rich, but I didn't expect them to be so generous. It seems their kid is making a lot of money out there, to be able to be so generous."
"How much or how little we earn, I don't know. I only know that we are in for a treat today. I heard that the chef we hired is the best chef in the surrounding villages."
"Yes, after eating this, I won't crave meat for at least three months. I've always thought about how great it would be if I could eat as much meat as I want all at once, and now I can finally try it."
"Don't just eat meat, try this wine. It's good wine, much better than the ones we buy ourselves."
"Brother Huzi, you're talking nonsense! The Xia family is so rich, how could they fool us with that kind of wine? It must be good wine."
"You say they can be so nice to outsiders, but what do they eat at home? Eating lavish meals all day long?"
"I don't know about that, but I'm thinking that when my son who works in the factory sends money back, I'll prepare a table like this for my family."
They talked and ate at home. The men's girth was okay. They also drank wine. The attraction of wine to them was almost the same as meat.
The women generally don't drink alcohol, so since the dishes were served, they kept picking up their chopsticks to eat.
The mother with the child was even worse off with her chopsticks. She picked up the food for herself very quickly and also picked up the food for her child. The child was so busy eating the rice in the bowl that his mouth was full of oil.
However, when Xia Jin looked around, she didn't see the same scene as when she married her cousin. Maybe everyone remembered it and she didn't want to embarrass herself.
After eating for a while, Xia Jin was called over by his grandfather. He was asked to toast each table and talk to them. After all, he was the host of the banquet.
Everyone came here for me, and it would be inappropriate for me to hide there and eat all the time, so I just took the cup and followed my grandfather around the yard.
It’s just that what my grandfather drank was wine, and what was in my cup was water, but it was also in a wine bottle. If you don’t taste it, you will definitely not think of it.
But even if everyone knew about it, it wouldn't matter. Since she's younger, it's forgivable that she can't drink much.
You can't force a girl to drink. Besides, this is her home and those people at the banquet wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Every time he went to a table, Grandpa Xia was afraid that he didn't know the guests, so he introduced them to her one by one. After saying a few words, he finished his drink and moved on to the next table.
Rural people are not good at talking, but Xia Jin received many blessings from them, which were obviously sincere. Although they were not well-educated, their words were very heartwarming.
This person went from table to table and finally came to the table where Grandpa Xia and his friends were sitting.
"Xiao Jin, Grandpa won't put any pressure on you. Let's just be fine. You've already been admitted to university and have brought honor to our family."
"You don't have to be so tired anymore. You don't have to keep thinking about what to do. You can have a good rest."
"If you get into university, you still have to study hard. You can't just neglect your studies. You have to know that learning is very important in one's life."
"In our family, except for you, no one likes to study. Asking them to go to class is like killing them."
"We had originally given up, but we never expected that you would be such a promising student and be admitted to such a great university. We are really happy."
"But we won't put any pressure on you. Just do what you can. There's no need to push yourself too hard."
"Xia Jin, my eldest brother is right. We don't need to put too much pressure on ourselves. You are already better than most people. Who else's child can be as promising as you?"
"You think we have done enough? We are all very grateful to you. Just study hard and live a good life in the days to come."
Those grandfathers all said a few words, but most of them were to tell her not to feel pressured and to persuade her.
After all, they all know that it is not easy to get into college in this era, and getting into college is already better than many people.
But when they go to college in the future, everyone will be on the same starting line. They are afraid that if the child does not do well, they will feel a lot of pressure.
Although their family thinks that their children are the most capable, they also understand that there are always people better than you.
I was afraid that the child couldn't see clearly. After all, Xiaojin was able to make money and study well before, and had never suffered any major setbacks.
Everything went very smoothly. The only setback was his mother's family, but this did not affect his entrepreneurial career at all.
That's why these grandfathers are afraid, afraid that he will encounter some setback and won't be able to withstand it and will never recover.
After all, sometimes things go too smoothly, which is a bad thing. Children don’t have the ability to withstand it, and once they encounter setbacks, they will be hit so hard that they won’t be able to get up.
This is not the result they all want to see. After all, no matter what, this child is the most promising person in their generation.
They hope that she will continue to keep it up and don't want to see him fall halfway and be forgotten by everyone.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if your career has suffered a blow and you have lost everything, as long as you can cheer up, it’s fine. After all, there is still life.
After listening to their words, Xia Jin smiled and nodded. He knew what they were worried about, but he would not be like that.
