Rebirth: We are all in the same little galaxy
Chapter 31 Banquet (1)
Looking at these elderly people in simple clothes and the children hiding behind their grandparents and looking at people timidly, Lan Yinlin felt a little emotional for a moment.
Farming at home can only meet people's basic living needs, so young people in the village have to leave their hometowns, leaving their parents and children behind to work outside.
Lan Lemin took out various fruits, biscuits and candies from home and placed a plate on each table. Lan Yinlin took out all the stools in the house for everyone to sit on.
When the children who came with their families saw the candy, they all looked at Lan Lemin and her family with longing eyes.
After getting permission, they all rushed forward. Lan Lemin gave each child a big handful and put the rest on the table. Whoever wanted to eat could take it.
The group of children who got the candies swarmed away again, running up and down the stairs. Lan Yinlin saw Lan Jiaqi and Lan Jialin among them.
Lan Jialin followed Lili, the girl he loved deeply, and tried to show his affection for her, while Lan Jiaqi was chatting with a good friend of the same age as him.
Oh! It's so good to be a child! I really envy them. Unlike her and Lan Lemin, they can only sit in the living room and chat with their aunts and uncles.
Lan Yinlin felt that her face was frozen from smiling. She was not feeling well now. From childhood to adulthood, every time this happened, she felt it was extremely difficult to endure. She felt like she was living a year in a day!
People inside the house were chatting animatedly, and the banquet chef outside was also busy as they needed to prepare two banquets today, one for lunch and one for dinner.
As the male host, Mr. Lan was arranged by Mom to entertain the uncles and aunts, as Grandma Lan is old.
Lan's mother didn't allow her to go out to work and asked her to sit and chat with the grandparents in the village.
Lan Ma and the women who came to help were setting up tables and chairs, and distributing drinks, beer, liquor, disposable bowls and chopsticks and other necessary items for the banquet to the tables.
It's like this in their village. Today my family has a banquet and you come to help. Tomorrow you have a banquet and I will go to help. Later, the physical work of serving the food will be the job of Dad Lan and those uncles.
As the eldest children in the family, Lan Yinlin and Lan Lemin also have to chat with their relatives at times like this. They can't hide in their rooms when they see their relatives like they did when they were children.
"Dinner is ready! Dinner is ready!"
Just when Lan Yinlin was about to give up and was about to pee, the sound of dinner finally came from outside the door.
Lan Yinlin's face instantly lit up with joy. She said hello to everyone, then quickly took her sister's hand and slipped away.
Nearly 150 people came to their house today, plus the chef and driver, there were more than 160 people, and each table could seat ten people.
Her family invited about two hundred people. Some people couldn't come, but they had to set up one or two extra tables in case more people came later, so a total of twenty tables were set up.
Avoiding the flowers, plants and trees planted in the yard, all open spaces were filled with tables and chairs, even the living room.
Now everything that should be placed on each table has been placed, and we just have to wait for the table that is filled first to be served.
Lan Yinlin found an empty table in the corner and sat down. She looked back and saw that her aunts and uncles had not followed her. She patted her heart with lingering fear.
Lan Lemin was forced to run along, and was speechless: "Sister! Is it that scary?"
Lan Yinlin rolled her eyes at her and said, "You, a social bull, won't understand how people like us feel when we are socially anxious!"
Lan Lemin asked in confusion: "Sister, what is a social bull? What is social phobia?"
Lan Yinlin was slightly stunned, forgetting that these two words were not popular yet, so she could only explain to her: "Social cow is not afraid of strangers, and social phobia is afraid of strangers. You don't even understand this! Stupid!"
Lan Lemin, who was despised by her sister for being stupid, muttered: "You are still socially anxious? I didn't see you being socially anxious when you were enslaving us at home~"
Hearing her accusation, Lan Yinlin pretended to be angry and tapped her forehead gently: "What do you know! Social phobia only occurs with people you don't know well outside. Am I not familiar with you?"
"Oh! Okay~"
Under the tyranny of her elder sister, Lan Lemin covered her forehead which was hit and dared not speak any more, feeling wronged.
It was quiet for less than a minute when Lan Lemin suddenly stood up excitedly, pointed at a girl in the crowd and asked Lan Yinlin, "Sister! Look! Is that Xiaohua?"
Lan Yinlin looked in the direction she pointed and saw a petite girl walking towards them. It was their sister Chen Hua, and Grandma Lan’s biological brother was her grandfather.
Before she could answer, Lan Lemin excitedly waved at Chen Hua: "Xiao Hua! Here, here!"
Seeing Lan Lemin waving at him, Chen Hua jogged all the way and soon arrived in front of Lan Yinlin and the other person.
Standing in front of the two, she immediately greeted them stiffly: "Big sister! Second sister!"
Lan Yinlin smiled and nodded, and Lan Lemin took her hand and sat next to her to talk.
Looking at this little girl who was one year younger than her brother, Lan Yinlin couldn't help but think of her father.
It was Uncle Six, whom I met from afar at the village chief’s house when I went back to my hometown to pick up my parents to buy a house in Hai City.
At that time, she had just been reborn and had not yet adapted to the feeling of seeing a dead person suddenly appear in front of her, so she did not go to say hello to him.
She had been busy since she got up early this morning, and hadn't noticed whether he was here or not. However, she had seen too many people who shouldn't have been here today, so she was no longer afraid.
Lan Yinlin looked around and saw no one, so she asked, "Xiaohua, where is your dad?"
Chen Hua was chattering with Lan Lemin. Hearing this, he pointed in a direction, indicating that her father was there.
Lan Yinlin looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a shirtless, sturdy middle-aged man holding a wooden tray filled with dishes for today's banquet.
The man was about 1.75 meters tall, with a bronze skin that was unique to rural people at that time, and he looked very healthy!
This is her sixth uncle. He has been very kind to the four siblings since they were young. Whenever he brings something delicious to Xiaohua and her brothers and sisters, he will share some with them.
Lan Yinlin's impression of Uncle Six was that he was a man who could joke with younger people. He always had a beard and seemed to have a good personality.
He often came to her house to play with Blue Dad, but because Uncle Six liked gambling, Blue Mom didn't really like him coming to Blue Dad, fearing that Blue Dad would be led astray by him! The family was already heavily in debt!
Her sixth uncle really loves gambling. He is the kind of person who might go home early if he wins, but will play all night if he loses. He will not give up until he wins back his money!
He lost the most. He spent most of his earnings on gambling. After losing, he would do odd jobs to earn money. So his family was the second poorest in the village! The poorest was the Lan family, which was in debt!
Small gambling can make you happy, but big gambling can hurt your health! Although Lan Ma also likes playing cards and mahjong, she always does it in moderation.
She only occasionally played with the villagers for fifty cents or one yuan, and her father Lan always accompanied her, and they would always return home on time before ten o'clock.
Dad Lan himself didn't like gambling, so when Uncle Six asked him to go out and gamble at night, he would directly refuse. Over time, Uncle Six stopped coming to him.
As for the mahjong table in the living room, Dad Lan has already planned to move it to the basement and move it out during the Chinese New Year so that relatives and friends can play together.
Lan Yinlin doesn't like and doesn't know how to play mahjong because she likes a quiet environment and the sound of shuffling mahjong cards makes her upset.
She only knows how to play cards, and she's not very good at it. Every time she plays cards with her brothers and sisters during the Chinese New Year, she is usually the one who gets killed.
As for Dad Lan's idea of playing mahjong during the New Year, Lan Yinlin felt that there might not be enough people, because except Mom Lan, no one in the family knows how to play mahjong!
Lan Yinlin had already planned where to put the mahjong table. It would be a bit of a waste to throw it away, so she would just use the space to store some things!
As for mahjong, it is good to use it as a hidden weapon. From now on, I will make it clear that mahjong is not allowed in the house. I will take every one that comes!
Her sixth uncle died of heatstroke because he played mahjong all night and went to the mountains to help people cut trees without rest the next day.
Her sixth aunt was unable to do heavy work. Fortunately, her children had grown up and were already out earning money on their own. Otherwise, how would she survive leaving three children and a woman behind?
