Manbao's inclusion in the family genealogy ultimately remained unresolved. Once the updated genealogy was completed and presented, everyone offered incense and paid respects to their ancestors as a way of informing them. Then, the Chief took the genealogy back home, while others carried the offerings of chickens, ducks, and lambs to the Old Zhou's house to prepare dishes.
After the ancestors feasted, it would naturally be their turn to eat.
The Zhou Family borrowed tables and chairs from several households. Even with the space in two courtyards, it was insufficient, so they extended the festivities to the road outside. Not only did the residents of Qili Village attend, but also the Zhou Family's in-laws.
Captain Liu, who was temporarily serving as County Magistrate in Luojiang County, also came. Of course, he didn't come empty-handed; he brought condolence money as well.
