After two days of preparation, my elder sister and her husband came over as well because Shen Yiyue's holiday time was limited. It didn't matter whether it was before or during the New Year; the banquet was set on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The two pigs raised at home, Shen Erniu had specifically kept them for this occasion.
With banquets held twice a day, we invited almost half the village, as well as relatives from Chen Guizhi's maternal family and Yang PeiMin's maternal family. People from the old Shen family house also came over. Although they didn't particularly want to invite the few from Yang PeiMin's group, since almost the entire village had been invited, it would have been unreasonable not to include them.
Almost everyone from the old house came over, and the scene was quite impressive. Shen Yiguang's grandmother was still alive, but she was so old that she had difficulty moving about and was the only one who stayed home.
