At this time, people also came one after another. The first to arrive were Li Yan's uncle Lin Feng and her uncle's cousin Lin Yun.
When the uncle heard that his sister had built a new house, he rushed from the neighboring town to the town academy and brought his eldest nephew to congratulate his sister.
As soon as he entered the Li family's door, the uncle couldn't wait to look around the new house. He walked from inside to outside. When he saw Li Yan, he pulled the little girl's braid and said, "Little girl, you've grown taller!"
Li Yan didn't have time to deal with her uncle at the moment. She was so busy that her feet were smoking.
Li Erlang saw that the food was almost cooked, but his sister had not arrived yet, so he sent Li Dalang to the village entrance to check.
He went to the village, called those who helped build the house to his home, and also invited the clan leader.
After everyone was seated, Li's younger sister and brother-in-law finally arrived.
A tall, handsome man stood beside a petite woman in her twenties, with sallow skin and a slightly tired expression. They were Li Yan's aunt, Li Xiaomei, and uncle, Liu Zhong.
Li Xiaomei said to her second brother with a little apology: "Sorry, second brother, something happened at home and I'm late!" After that, she turned around and went to the kitchen to help.
Before Li Erlang could stop him, his younger sister ran to help, so he had to invite his brother-in-law to sit down first.
Mrs. Wu saw her daughter rushing into the kitchen and scolded her, "Why are you so late? Go sit down quickly."
Everyone here was arranged to sit down, and the cooked dishes were brought to the table one by one. Looking at the tempting aroma of the food being served on the table, everyone felt even hungrier.
Old man Li said: "Thank you all for your help. Don't be polite today and just treat this place as your own. Let's start eating!" Then he picked up a piece of fish for the patriarch.
Everyone stopped being polite. The food on the table was so tempting, with good color, aroma and taste. Everyone had no time to talk and only had time to eat the food.
While everyone was eating, Li Yan took out steamed buns from the steamer. The white flour buns were fresh out of the pot, soft and fluffy. Paired with fish head and tofu soup, Li Dalang easily showed off his talent.
Everyone was full after the meal. Before they left, Li Yan gave each of them five white flour buns as a thank you, and everyone was even more satisfied.
What Li Yan didn't know was that she had invisibly raised the standard of banquets in Lijia Village.
After the guests left, Li Xiaomei helped Li Yan clean up. Li Yan was not familiar with this aunt. In her memory, her aunt seemed to come back very rarely.
Li Yan looked at her slightly haggard aunt and said, "Aunt, go and rest first."
Li Xiaomei: "No, I'm going back with your uncle soon."
Li Yan said, "Then go over to my grandma and chat. You haven't been back for a long time, and she probably has a lot to say to you."
After persuading the aunt to leave, Daya had also tidied up the yard and returned the tables, chairs and benches to each household. Suddenly, she remembered that she still had a hundred coins left to return to Erya today, so she ran to find her again.
At this time, Li Yan was lying exhausted on the bed, with two little kids lying beside her.
Daya said softly, "I still have a hundred coins left from the money you gave me today," and handed the money to Li Yan.
"Sister, please accept it. Consider it your reward for helping me!"
Daya thought that they were all family and talked about some kind of reward, so she put down the money and ran away immediately.
Li Yan watched her leave and shook her head: "What a simple-minded person, she really looks like her uncle."
