Sister Li also went back to her own home and moved all the tables, chairs, benches and bowls over.
The people who came to eat saw that it was not enough, so they moved a long table, and also brought the benches and bowls over.
After setting the table, Xu Niannian began to take out the drinks and pastries and arrange them on the plates.
Xu Niannian made two kinds of drinks. She put some ice cream in the strawberry and hawthorn milk tea in advance, which has now completely melted. She also made a jujube flower tea that all girls like.
Small buckets of drinks were placed directly on the table so that anyone who wanted to eat could have some, and the long table was filled with a variety of pastries.
Lu Huaijin also stood beside her to help her carry the plates.
After finishing, he stood at the door with her to welcome new visitors and let Xu Niannian get to know some people.
Most of the people who came later brought their wives and children to other people's homes for dinner. Many of the wives carried a small basket filled with eggs, vegetables and other things.
When the little kid came into the yard, he exclaimed:
"Mom and Dad, I want to eat this and that."
But they were all suppressed by the parents:
"Wait until the servants are all here before eating."
They could only watch and drool, not wanting to take their eyes away.
Lu Ze and his brother watched all this quietly. He had eaten all the cakes in advance. He used to be the child who envied others, but now he no longer has to envy others.
As more and more people came, the old leader finally arrived. When he saw the girl standing at the door, he looked at her silently. Lu Huaijin subconsciously stepped forward to block her.
Jiang Lao rolled his eyes and whispered to him:
"Can I eat people?"
He was just curious about what kind of magic this person had that could make people willing to give up their future and marry her.
But he had to admit that the woman was indeed beautiful, with eyes and eyebrows as pretty as a painting, and his niece was no match for her.
I was a little puzzled at this moment. My niece had even come to meet him, but she still didn't give up after seeing his appearance. Could it be that she didn't have a clear understanding of me?
Aunt Zhou took Xu Niannian's hand:
"My hands are getting cold. If you're ready, come in."
Xu Niannian glanced at the man next to her, and Lu Huaijin nodded at her:
"Come in, everyone is here."
Dashan and Xiaoshan looked at the beautiful sister in front of them expectantly:
"Sister, the cakes you make are really delicious!"
Lu Huaijin lowered his head and glanced at the little one:
"Call her aunt, not sister."
The man’s cold face almost scared Xiaoshan to tears. He had seen this uncle before, but he didn’t expect that they were actually husband and wife. How did the beautiful sister survive under his clutches?
When looking at Xu Niannian, I felt more sympathy.
Aunt Zhou patted their heads:
"You are of a different generation, you should call me aunt."
Then he said to Xu Niannian:
"They knew they were coming to your house for dinner today, so he was supposed to be picked up by his parents today, but he refused to leave and wanted to have this meal here before leaving."
Xu Niannian: "It's so lively here with so many people. There are many children at home. You can eat more later."
Everyone inside was chatting, and the atmosphere reached a climax when the old leader arrived.
When Xu Niannian came in, she found that they were just sitting there chatting without even taking any pastries or drinks.
The children's eyes had already been on her, waiting for her to call out for dinner.
Sure enough, Xu Niannian said to everyone:
"Why don't you take any? The cakes and drinks are all on the long table. Just take them and we'll start eating soon."
The child immediately jumped up from the stool and followed his mother to get food.
Aunt Zhou was amazed at the designs, thinking that they really took a lot of thought.
The same is true for other family members, which seriously raises the average level of their banquets.
As she said that, she and Lu Huaijin went into the kitchen and brought up the prepared dishes. Zhang Liang also followed them happily to help.
He saw that other family members had brought things over, but he, a bachelor, had forgotten this. This was really wrong, so he decided to do more work.
Several other singles followed.
After a while, the table was covered with food.
There were three tables in total, one for men, one for women, and one for older children.
Only when the food was served did I realize how luxurious it was. There were plates of braised dishes, spicy rabbit cubes, braised chicken with stewed potatoes, braised pork, pickled tomatoes, hot and sour cucumbers, and stir-fried beans.
The sisters-in-law all widened their eyes.
Aunt Zhou finally couldn't help but speak:
"Are you guys not living a normal life? Why are you making so many hard dishes?"
Xu Niannian smiled:
"Didn't we catch a few wild rabbits and pheasants in the mountains a few days ago? They were so few that I was too embarrassed to hand them in, so today I'm treating you all and it's just the right time to share them. The drinks here were also picked from the mountains and are not worth a dime."
"Besides, I have to show my best skills when I treat you all to a meal. Don't be polite, let's eat quickly."
Everyone understood it when this was mentioned, and some of the military wives present also went up the mountain to catch pheasants the next day.
The man was also amazed:
"Xiao Lu, I finally understand why you married her. She's pretty and can cook."
Lu Huaijin picked up the wine on the table and poured it into their glasses:
"My wife is more than that. She can also make wine. Let me give you a taste."
As soon as Zhang Liang swallowed a mouthful of braised pork, he took the wine glass and drank it all. He immediately felt refreshed and felt a lot more comfortable.
Mr. Jiang also gave a thumbs up:
“This wine is really good.”
I felt a warm breath flowing into my whole body.
