The banquet hall was abuzz with toasting and conversation; there were no rules restricting talk during meals or before bed.
Lu Yang was the center of attention, and everyone's topics revolved around him.
After greeting Song Xiufeng and his wife among others, Lu's father turned to his eldest son and instructed, "After lunch, in a while, you and the chief steward take the suona band and the fireworks and firecrackers to Xinxin's family. Come back and then see to the other matters."
Lu Yang had to go to the new house early in the morning to welcome the furniture and appliances sent from the Zhao Family, so he didn't even have time for breakfast. After being busy all morning and not even having a sip of water, he was so hungry he felt dizzy and blurry-eyed. He buried his head in eating vigorously, nodding as he ate, "Besides the eight boxes of fireworks, what else do we need to send? I remember we need to take two large bags of wedding candies, right?"
