NovelEnglish120 Party

“After we move, our kitchen will be big and easier to operate. It shouldn’t be a problem to deal with 6 or 7 tables of people.” Liu Shi said.
“Or, I’ll go ask Aunt Jiang tomorrow and see if she can bring Xiaohua to help us.”
In addition to Aunt Jiang and Xiao Hua, there would be six people in the kitchen. They should be able to handle it.
“Alright, we’ll decide on the menu tomorrow. I’ll be in charge of buying the ingredients.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

The family discussed the details of the party before resting.
Finally, 3 days later.
Before dawn, Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue rode the ox-cart to town.
They bought the items according to the list and rushed back to Daishi Village before 9 o’clock.
Then, Li Xiao lit the firecrackers.
Liu Shi, who was wearing new clothes, brought her family, who were also wearing new clothes, into the house with firewood, rice, oil, and salt. It symbolized bringing wealth into the family.
After a quarter of an hour, Liu Shi and the others put away the things they had brought in and came to the door to welcome the guests.
Only then did Aunt Wang, Wang Erya, Wang Shuanzi, Aunt Jiang, and Xiaohua enter.
Following that, they were preparing the food.
Li Xiao and Wang Shuanzi took the things from the ox-cart to the kitchen and then went to the front yard.

Liu Shi was a little hesitant.
“Qing’er is recording the guests’ gifts. Why don’t you help him? He doesn’t know anyone, so you can introduce them to him.” Lin Xiaoyue said again.
Only then did Liu Shi agree.
“Alright, I’ll go then.” She finally left the kitchen.
When she left the kitchen, someone immediately greeted and congratulated her.

She saw Xiao Qing holding a pen and recording the details of the guests’ gifts. Then, he and Lin Xiaozhi invited the guests to come inside.
They were respectful, gentle, and polite, and they received the guests’ compliments.
Liu Shi was once again amazed by Xiao Qing.
