Little kids cheer loudly inside the room. Before these people arrived, Su Xiaowan had already set out melon seeds, peanuts, and candies.
The officer's wives and children happily indulge in chitchat, the children taking delight in eating their candy. When the time comes to bring out the full effort, none is held back.
On the other hand, weddings are rare and grand occasions here. Everyone in this place lacks entertainment, seizing this opportunity without fail.
These wives of officials aren't as easy to fool as young girls. If you want to open the door, the wife of an official suggests that the groom must perform a program first.
