"Ah, you go to the east end of the village and ask Aunt Chen and Cao Pozi to come. We need to discuss the banquet."
In this era, the customs were simple and genuine. Whenever someone in the village held an event, neighbors would come to help without hesitation.
Huo Yaojun had been busy generating income for the Production Team lately, leaving him swamped with work. Even so, he managed to find time to join the men from the village on a few winter hunts, bringing all the game back to Yu Suihuan's home.
Since their last conversation, he had given Yu Suihuan the impression that he simply wanted to be friends. As a result, she lowered her guard around him, and their interactions became much warmer than before.
Now, Yu Suihuan treated him like she used to treat Wang Jianjun and Zheng Xiu, joking freely and interacting naturally. Only Huo Yaojun knew that he was gradually getting closer to the girl he liked.
Before long, Yu Suihuan returned with her companions. However, it wasn't just Aunt Chen and Cao Pozi; several other women who were friends of theirs had come along as well. When Yu Suihuan arrived, the women were busy making shoe soles together on the kang, so they decided to join her.
"Aunt Wang, I heard your family is hosting a banquet?" Aunt Chen asked without any formality as she entered the house and plopped down on the edge of the kang.
She had previously come to deliver wild vegetables to Yu Suihuan's grandmother, so she was not surprised by the home’s decor. The other women were visiting Yu Suihuan's house for the first time since she built her courtyard wall. They looked around curiously as if they had entered a grand garden.
"Oh my! Aunt Wang, your home is truly impressive! You have everything! Even those curtains are made from whole pieces of fabric!" one of the women exclaimed.
They gazed at the curtains hanging by the window in awe. If they had that much fabric at home, they would surely make clothes for their little ones instead of using it for curtains!
"Yes, Aunt Wang, it's really magnificent! That big cabinet, that large table, and even this clock and radio—it's more impressive than what you’d find in those wealthy families!" another chimed in.
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Suihuan's grandmother and maternal grandmother exchanged glances filled with disapproval. What era was this? Did she mean to provoke them with such comments? People like that were certainly not welcome in their home.
"Watch your tongue! If you can't speak properly, then keep your mouth shut!"
Cao Pozi shot a glare at the woman. Aunt Wang's family was well-off; who in the village didn’t know that? She had long wanted to establish a connection with this family but had struggled to find an excuse. Now that she finally had a chance to get closer, she couldn't let this woman ruin it.
"Sister, what good news do you have at home? How many tables are you planning to set up?" Cao Pozi immediately put on a beaming smile and asked Two Grandmas.
After all, her family had just produced two college students, Yu Suihuan and Wang Zhao Ran. The two kids were going to university together in Jing City after the New Year, so she thought about inviting everyone in the village for a meal to celebrate and share in the joy!
Talking about her granddaughter made Two Grandmas forget her earlier displeasure, and her face lit up with a smile, her eyes crinkling with delight.
"Oh my, Sister, you really are blessed! It’s definitely something to celebrate!"
Cao Pozi was filled with envy; who in the village wouldn’t be?
Tch, it’s just college students; what’s so great about that?
The woman who had spoken rudely earlier now murmured quietly to herself, seemingly unaware of her own impoliteness.
