Chapter 552: Chapter 507, Banquet (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_1
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, after having breakfast, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang brought seven puppies down the mountain. While they were training the puppies to track scents, they noticed that the villagers of Taohua Village were heading out of the village. Curiosity piqued, they asked the passing village chief about it.
“Chief, is there a market today, why is everyone heading out?”
The village chief laughed, “It’s not a market day. Today, the richest man in Taoyuan Town’s son is getting married. I heard they’ll have a banquet with an ever-flowing feast, and everyone wants to go and share in the joy.”
Daohua said, “I see, you better get going then.”
The village chief bid farewell and then hurried off to catch up with the villagers ahead.
Once everyone had left, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with a smile, “They’re having a feast that keeps on serving.”
Xiao Yeyang smiled, “What, you want to join the fun, too?”
Daohua replied, “We’re free anyway, might as well check it out.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded, “Alright, it’ll be a good experience for us in the future.”
Daohua wondered, “What experience do you need?”
Xiao Yeyang didn’t answer and called over Dexi, asking him to take the seven puppies back.
Daohua objected, “No need to send them back, let’s take this chance to let them see the world too.”
Seeing that on his side he had Dexi and Wang Manman with him and Daohua had Bi Shi on hers, Xiao Yeyang felt it was enough to watch over the seven puppies, so he didn’t say anything more.
After sending someone to inform Granny Gu and Gu Jian, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang followed the villagers to the town, seeing many villagers from other villages along the way.
Dexi clicked his tongue twice, “As expected of the richest family’s home, they’re really generous. Today they probably attracted villagers from all around within ten miles.”
Wang Manman pursed her lips, “These rich people just have too much money to spend, they like to show off to make others think they are something special.”
Hearing their conversation, Daohua shook her head, “Their goal isn’t merely to flaunt wealth. After holding such a feast, they’ve given back to the community, earning villagers’ gratitude while also building their own reputation. Why wouldn’t they do it?”
Xiao Yeyang nodded, “Indeed, it’s better to be happy together than alone. When the family has a happy occasion, and they have the means, of course, they want to share it with everyone. If I were to get married, I’d also want a banquet like this.”
Daohua looked at him, “Do you have that much money?”
Xiao Yeyang said, “If I can’t even earn enough money to hold a wedding feast, then am I still a man?”
Daohua snickered, “Yes, yes, you’re a real man.”
Xiao Yeyang felt somewhat downcast at Daohua’s perfunctory attitude, but then had a sudden idea and asked, “Do you like the idea of a wedding being such a lively event?”
After pondering for a moment, Daohua said, “Getting married, whether the wedding is lively or not is secondary. What’s most important is whether you marry the right person. If you don’t marry the right person or marry into the wrong family, no matter how lively the wedding is, it’s just a carnival for others.”
Xiao Yeyang asked, “What do you imagine your wedding would be like?”
Daohua glanced at him, “I haven’t thought about it, I’m not in a rush to get married.”
Xiao Yeyang frowned, “What do you mean, ‘you’re not in a rush to get married’?”
Daohua explained, “It means I want to stay at home for a few more years. I will ask my mother to agree to not arrange my marriage until after I’m eighteen.”
“What?!”
Xiao Yeyang looked stunned at Daohua, anxiously saying, “Your mother won’t agree to this, other girls are eligible for marriage once they reach the age of fifteen.”
Daohua cast him a glance, “That’s for other girls, our family is different.”
Xiao Yeyang watched Daohua, shaking his head, “I don’t believe your family will agree to that.”
Daohua chuckled, “You’re not my parents, how would you know they wouldn’t agree?”
Seeing Daohua’s confident manner, Xiao Yeyang, looking dejected, fell silent.
Soon, the two arrived in town. Their outstanding appearance and extraordinary demeanour immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Seeing that the street was already set up with a long line of tables for a continuous feast, both of them looked around curiously.
Daohua eyed the table settings, with each having 24 dishes, and they all looked pretty good. She couldn’t help asking Xiao Yeyang, “Shall we sit down and have a meal?”
Xiao Yeyang, having never experienced such a banquet, was also curious, “Since we’re here, let’s give it a try.”
They decided to take a seat, but waited quite a while without finding a spot.
Every time a new table was set up or a spot opened, the villagers would rush to occupy it, and both Xiao Yeyang and Daohua were too embarrassed to elbow their way in, so they could only stand aside and watch.
