Chapter 1896 - 1898: Housewarming Celebration

Chapter 1896: Chapter 1898: Housewarming Celebration

"Crack, crack!"

The sound of firecrackers, rising and falling, was deafening!

Quite a few children gathered at the door, laughing and giggling.

Today is the Yang family’s housewarming celebration!

Originally, the guests should have been invited earlier, but because Yang Xia returned, it was postponed for a few days!

A lot of people came to congratulate the Yang family’s courtyard, some brought gifts, and others gave monetary gifts.

"Brother Yang, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Aunt, congratulations, congratulations!"

"..."

"..."

The villagers’ congratulations came one after another, never stopping!

Old Yang and Yang Ming’s mother were warmly receiving everyone with smiles.

Yang Qiu followed behind, handing out fruits and candies to everyone, while Xiaoxiao served tea and water to the incoming villagers, creating a very lively atmosphere!

"Brother Yang, you’re truly blessed! In your old age, you live in such a big house."

"This house is indeed wonderful."

"Yes, yes, it looks even better than the big houses in town!"

"..."

"..."

These words weren’t just flattery; everyone genuinely felt this house was nice and deeply envied it.

The Yang family had built such a large house, and everyone had seen it from outside earlier. After the Yang family moved in, some close friends had visited inside, but most hadn’t seen it.

Now that they’re inside, they definitely want to tour around, and the Yang family doesn’t mind. This housewarming celebration is meant for guests to tour the house.

Perhaps because of the day’s excitement, even the eldest daughter-in-law, who wasn’t good at conversation, started explaining the house to the guests!

From the bedroom to the living room to the study, from the kitchen to the bathroom, the villagers toured through it all.

Praises kept coming!

Xiaoxiao saw that it was about time and spoke up, "Dad, it’s getting late; let’s go to the door."

"Alright!"

Old Yang replied, telling the villagers to feel free and not be formal, while instructing others at home to entertain them.

He then took his wife, Yang Ming, and Xiaoxiao to the door.

Because by this time, guests from other villages should also be arriving.

Sure enough, after a short wait, several people arrived one after another.

There were the Zhong family from Stone Village, the Chu family from town, as well as the maternal relatives of the eldest and second daughter-in-law.

And various relatives from other villages.

There was another round of congratulations at the door, inviting everyone into the courtyard, followed by another round of touring.

In the Yang family courtyard, many large round tables were set up, with a variety of seeds and candies on them; those who finished touring found their spots and sat down, waiting for the feast to begin.

The Yang family’s relatives were all assisting in the kitchen, knowing that hosting so many guests couldn’t be done by the Yang family alone.

The guests from other villages were arranged in the indoor seating area since they had to go back and definitely had to sit at the primary tables.

The Yangs prepared five rounds of seating; those who finished the first round could leave, then after a while, the second round and third round would begin!

The village people knew this custom, so some would come a bit later.

Seeing that most people were seated, Xiaoxiao entered the kitchen and asked.

"How’s the preparation going? When will the feast start?"

Li Fugui was busy in the kitchen; today, he was the head chef, bringing several of his own people over, and others were helping out.

He looked around, saw that preparations were almost finished, and spoke up, "The feast will start soon!"

Outside in the courtyard, someone suddenly shouted loudly, "The feast is starting! The feast is starting!"

One dish after another, full of color, aroma, and flavor, was served from the kitchen.
