Chapter 629: Lighting the Lanterns, Good Fortune 01 [Monthly Ticket 650+]

——————

As early as possible in the morning, the borrowed bowls and dishes were ready, and that afternoon, the invited kinfolk and older aunties helped wash and prepare them.

This time around, the Xie Family was hosting a lantern-adding ceremony for both Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, so the number of guests was quite large, especially since Xie Jinggang had been doing well in town, and many colleagues knew he had another boy. They had asked about the lantern ceremony for his child early on and said they would come to celebrate with drinks.

When calculated, the total number of tables needed for the feast on the sixth day of the new year was at least twenty.

In the context of the 1980s, it really was a grand feast.

There was no choice; just the Xie Family alone accounted for three tables, and then the extended family and the same clan took up another seven or eight tables [these were usually attended by the whole family, which is why there were so many].
