Chapter 1410 - 1412: The Banquet Begins
He was so single-minded back then that he really didn’t think much about it.
He had no idea that he might embarrass himself in front of the relatives, nor did he think about the possibility of refusing and arranging to supplement Yang Xiaocui’s nutrition alone later.
No matter what, Yang Dong’s actions of doting on his wife made her mother beam with joy, thinking that her son had finally wised up.
Hearing the teasing from the relatives, Yang Gang’s wife spoke up, "Come on, do you really think our fourth one could be so thoughtful? It’s probably that Aunt Lan Hua who asked for it."
In the eyes of Yang Gang’s wife, Yang Dong was not the kind of person who would naturally do this sort of thing. She was more inclined to believe Aunt Lan Hua shamelessly asked for it. Indeed, Yang Gang’s wife hit the nail on the head.
Yang Dong felt he couldn’t stay in the kitchen any longer. If he did, who knows how the relatives would tease him.
He quickly told his sister-in-law not to forget about it, and then he left. Seeing Yang Dong look so embarrassed, the kitchen erupted into a fit of laughter again.
Yang Chun’s wife naturally stood up for her brother-in-law and quickly grabbed a bowl, packing plenty of dishes for Yang Xiaocui, leaving some of each dish aside.
Soon enough, the meal began, and the wives started serving the dishes.
The Yang Family had nearly fifty members, both young and old, all gathered together.
The meal was eaten inside the house; a large table on the kang, another large table on the floor, and two more tables outside, all squeezed together.
This way, everyone could enjoy the lively atmosphere and easily chat with one another.
The elderly lady sat at the head of the table, absolutely delighted. It felt as if she was celebrating her own birthday.
Xiaoxiao was placed next to the elderly lady, at her special request, and nobody had any objections.
Even though Xiaoxiao had arrived a while before Yang Dong, she only chatted and joked with everyone without mentioning the matter of earning silver together. After all, not everyone was present, and in Xiaoxiao’s eyes, everyone had a say.
Little Liufu was taken care of by her grandmother, and there were a few other little children among the relatives who needed to be fed, so they were seated in a separate room to eat. Those few didn’t affect the main gathering.
Seeing everyone seated, Xiaoxiao said to the elderly lady beside her, "Grandma, say a few words, and then we can start eating."
The others also chimed in, encouraging the elderly lady to say something.
The elderly lady, in high spirits, agreed to say a few words, "Today, this old lady is happy. Ever since our family split up, we haven’t sat down together like this and had a good time. Now, our fifth has also come back."
"Our family might not be as harmonious as others, but this old lady knows that in recent years, you haven’t been very close either, each going about your own business and minding your own affairs."
The old lady, holding Xiaoxiao’s hand, continued, "But ever since Yang Ming’s wife came, I’ve seen you interact more, and it makes me happy. It’s all thanks to my granddaughter-in-law. This meal today, she arranged it. If it weren’t for her, how could you all be sitting here eating?"
"Grandma!" Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted, embarrassed by the praise, not wanting to be overly complimented.
