In the end, it was De Fu and Wang Manman who stepped forward. As new tables were set up, they competed with the villagers for a spot and finally secured their place.
Unlike other tables, the one where Daohua and Xiao Yeyang sat was exceptionally quiet. While everyone else was laughing and having a lively time, at their table, all the other guests were just busy gazing at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang.
"What a handsome young master and miss!"
"Who are they?"
"Such respectable folks should be sitting in the Zhuang Family's courtyard, not scrambling for a seat at the public banquet like us."
In contrast to the whispers of the crowd, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were eating with great ease.
"This sweet roast is good, try some."
Daohua, upon finding something tasty, would always pick up a piece with her chopsticks for Xiao Yeyang.
"The meatballs are delicious too, and the braised chicken isn't bad."
Xiao Yeyang, when he came across something he liked, would also serve some to Daohua.
