The crowd chatted for a while until it was ti to start the banquet. Even though they hadn’t invited many people, Jiang Mianmian’s coming-of-age ceremony was still very lively.
When the banquet started, Elder Yu sat at the head position and looked at Jiang Mianmian, saying kindly, "Mianmian, Grandpa Yu wishes you a healthy and happy growth, and hopes you can carve out a world of your own."
"Thank you, Grandpa Yu. I will do my best," Jiang Mianmian nodded seriously and replied with a smile.
After Elder Yu finished speaking, Jiang Dashan also advised, "Mianmian, you are the pride of our Old Jiang Family. Grandpa is very happy and content to see the achievents you’ve made now. I hope you can achieve even greater accomplishnts in the future and contribute to the country."
After the two elders finished their blessings, the other attendees also expressed their expectations and blessings for Jiang Mianmian. By the ti everyone finished, Jiang Mianmian’s face was almost stiff from smiling.
After receiving everyone’s blessings, Jiang Changhai brought out the three-tiered cake ordered from the cake shop. Jiang Mianmian cut it and distributed it to everyone. Only after finishing the cake did the banquet officially begin, and everyone enjoyed a lively al together.
Elder Yu had also taken the ti to co over, and after the al, he sat for a while before preparing to stand up and take his leave.
"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, I’m really sorry. I have so matters to attend to at the command post, so I can’t stay long. It’s not easy for you to visit, so tomorrow is my day off, why don’t you all co over to my place for a simple al," Elder Yu warmly invited.
"Oh, alright, we must accept such an invitation," Jiang Dashan imdiately agreed.
After Elder Yu left, the Cheng family parents stayed for a while and then also took their leave.
When the guests left, the Jiang family mbers all breathed a long sigh of relief. Although they hadn’t done much today, the different statuses of the guests made them feel sowhat restrained and tense.
Jiang Mianmian received many gifts that day, filling her room completely. Zhaodi was very envious upon seeing this.
After dinner, Su Wanyu finally had the ti to have a good chat with the Su family mbers.
"Wanyu, this courtyard of yours is quite large indeed, really nice. It seems your family’s little life is quite comfortable," Su Wanting spoke with barely concealed envy.
Since childhood, she loved to compare herself with Su Wanyu, competing half a lifeti over everything, but ended up not being as good as her in the end.
However, she is now older and does not have the sa competitiveness as before. Now seeing her sister’s family living well, she is truly happy for them.
"Big sis, you’re right about that. Our family is truly living a modestly comfortable life now," Su Wanyu said with so pride.
Big Uncle Su was also very gratified, "Wanyu, seeing your life being so happy gives us peace of mind."
The old lady heard this and laughed, saying, "In-law, don’t worry. Wanyu only enjoys a blessed life in our family and absolutely has no chance of suffering any hardship. My son is renowned in our village for spoiling his wife."
"Indeed, Changhai is a child who is both filial and capable. We all see his goodness in our eyes," Aunt Su echoed with a smile.
The mbers of the Su family had spent several days on the train and then hustled through a small day, so they were also quite tired. Su Wanyu didn’t keep them to chat further.
She advised them to rest early, as there would be plenty of ti tomorrow.
Early the next morning, after the big family finished breakfast, Jiang Changhai went out to buy so nutritional supplents and fruits as gifts for the visit to the Yu Family.
