On the actual day of the Qi family's invitation, Cheng Su got up early from bed, washed, and dressed quickly, then started helping around the house to avoid her mother-in-law indirectly complaining about her laziness.
After breakfast, people began to arrive to help. The banquet was held at noon, so there was a lot of work to be done.
Uncle Zhu, who was in charge of cooking, had already arrived. After receiving a cigarette from Father Qi, he put on an apron and swiftly began washing, cutting, chopping, and frying, busying himself with the preparations.
Early in the morning, the entire Qi family was bustling with people coming and going, making it lively, busy, and noisy.
Today, Mother Qi was dressed in a festive red outfit and went early to offer her respects to the deities. As the eldest daughter-in-law, Cheng Su was also brought along by her side to learn how to offer her respects, albeit unwillingly, but being the eldest daughter-in-law, she had to do it!
