The second guests were Lu Jingxing's teachers and all his classmates.
The third guests were Mr. He's friends, Mr. Qiu and Mr. Pan.
The two of them each gave Lu Jingxing a large red envelope.
This flattered him greatly.
Because I didn't invite those two elderly people at all.
I guess the reason they came to Lujia Village this time is partly because of Grandpa He.
Secondly, they definitely want to go to the Immortal Mountain to verify whether the premium pastries contain any mysterious ingredients.
The fourth wave of customers consisted of several VIP clients of the dim sum shop, who spent several hundred yuan every day.
Among the guests attending the college entrance banquet, the six handsome and elegant Lu brothers left a deep impression on them and they liked them very much.
As the saying goes, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole.
Judging from Lu Sen and Yun Ping's extraordinary demeanor, their sons are all outstanding.
The adopted youngest daughter is even more beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament; she doesn't look like a child from an ordinary family at all.
They may have fallen on hard times before, but they've managed to make a comeback, haven't they?
After exchanging pleasantries with the guests, the Lu family led them to the ancestral hall to arrange their seats.
Although it was midday, it wasn't very hot, and thankfully it was a cool, overcast day.
Otherwise, if it had happened the day before yesterday, the road from the Lu family home to the ancestral hall alone would probably have dried a person out of the sun.
The ancestral hall was very lively and noisy.
More than half of the villagers had already arrived at the ancestral hall, picked good seats and sat down to eat melon seeds and peanuts, so they could have chicken and pig's feet later.
Upon seeing Lu Sen and his wife arrive, everyone shut their mouths and fell silent instantly.
An Wan was speechless. In the countryside, people would scramble to get a table at a banquet, like starving ghosts trying to be reborn.
Can't you at least pay attention to your personal manners?
I wonder if Grandpa Qiu and the others will be annoyed when they see this.
Yunping and the others first arranged the best seats for the guests.
"Welcome, everyone, to my eldest son's college entrance celebration banquet. Please, eat as much as you like." Lu Sen said heartfelt words, his nose tingling and his eyes filling with tears.
We've been eagerly anticipating this moment, and finally, our eldest son has achieved great success in the college entrance examination, bringing honor to himself and the whole family.
"Thank you so much, uncles, aunts, and grandmas, for attending my graduation celebration. I'm very grateful." Lu Jingxing stood in the center of the ancestral hall and settled the matter with a simple sentence.
Speak as little as possible, because the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Being cautious in your words and actions is always very useful.
Thunderous applause erupted.
He Yurou thought Lu Jingxing was incredibly handsome today, and couldn't help but swoon. "Wanruo, wouldn't it be amazing if Jingxing were my boyfriend? Why can't I win him over?"
"Don't think too much about this. Love is beautiful when both parties are in love. Forcing him won't help. Besides, maybe it's just that your time for marriage hasn't come yet. It might be a few months later, or it might be a few years later."
"Or perhaps your destined partner isn't him, but someone else? Lu Jingxing is outstanding, but that doesn't mean he's the only outstanding person. Maybe there are many more people in the outside world who will capture your heart."
Jiang Wanruo shared her insights, her bright and gentle eyes occasionally glancing at Lu Jingxing, who was speaking on the stage.
He is indeed very outstanding, and the girl who is with him must also be very outstanding!
Feeling down, Jiang Wanru lowered her head and didn't see the gaze that Lu Jingxing was casting at her.
Unfortunately, He Yurou saw her. Thinking he was looking at her, her face instantly turned red. She covered her burning cheeks, lowered her eyes, and dared not meet his gaze.
When He Yurou discovered that he was peeking at Jiang Wanruo, Lu Jingxing's handsome face turned red for the first time in a long time, and he lowered his head guiltily.
Pretend nothing happened.
The ancestral hall was filled with the smell of incense and the aroma of various foods.
An Wan sat at the main table, with He Sichen's family and three of Grandpa He's friends at the two tables to her left.
Wang Feng and several other guests sat at the next table.
At the table to An Wan's right sat Lu Miao's family of eight.
Because the table was full, Lu Hai and Lu Lu could only sit at the next table, along with Lu Yao's family of five, making up a table for them.
The ten builders sat at the same table. After all, they were building a house for the Lu family, and it was on this day, so it would be impolite not to invite them to dinner.
The Lu Guochang family and the He Guoqiang family sat at the same table.
Almost everyone in the village was there, except for the village chief's family.
Because Village Chief Yu was arrested, Yu's mother and Yu Dawei hated Lu Sen.
Forget about getting the Yu family to put aside their past grievances and attend the banquet with red envelopes; they even wanted to sabotage the Lu family's banquet.
An Wan felt that this matter concerning Village Chief Yu was definitely not over yet.
Once Village Chief Yu is sentenced, my family will likely be hated by the Yu family and will definitely face retaliation.
Many villagers came over to greet Lu Sen and said flattering things.
Soon it was twelve o'clock, and the chefs had finished preparing nine dishes and one soup for fifty tables.
The waiter served the food quickly.
The villagers swarmed to eat the vegetables, as if they hadn't had enough to eat in generations.
The portions of food are so generous, you could eat your fill and still not finish it all, so you can pack it up and reheat it for another meal.
An Wan wanted to slap the villagers away when she saw how they ate.
However, the food at the banquet was indeed very delicious.
She liked the cooking skills of the chefs this time; the friend Lu Guochang introduced was quite good.
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.
The owner of the seafood restaurant where I bought fish and shrimp before was a nice person; he didn't try to bargain and was very generous.
Later, it was Wang Feng who switched to selling fried chicken cutlets, and now it's the owner of this mobile restaurant.
Lu Sen and Lu Jingxing ate a few bites, and accompanied by Yun Ping and Lu Chunhe, the four of them went to other tables to take turns toasting the guests.
Fifty tables, that means fifty small cups of baijiu (Chinese liquor), wouldn't that make everyone drunk?
Even a very small wine glass.
So they had to add a little water to their glasses.
An Wan ate the food at the banquet with great enjoyment.
Because of its delicious taste and generous portions, hundreds of customers enjoyed their meal very much.
The host will be happier if the guests are happy with their meal.
Lu Jiayan peeled shrimp for An Wan, while Lu Yanshu picked out the tenderest and smoothest fish for her.
Lu Zhili was clueless about what dish to serve her, so in his haste, he simply picked up a large pig's trotter and put it in her bowl.
"Little sister, you eat! Pig's trotters are the best." He loves pig's trotters, and he's sure his little sister loves them too.
An Wan was speechless. The pig's trotters at the banquet were served as a whole piece, unlike the usual stewed pig's trotters which were cut into small pieces.
"Mmm, it's delicious, thank you, Fifth Brother." To avoid hurting his feelings, she took a small bite of the pig's trotter.
As a result, my cheeks rubbed against the pig's trotters, leaving my face shiny with oil.
