Heavenly Farmer

Chapter 224- Feast

The snow melted, the sun shined brightly but the weather was still cold.

Today was a good day.

And today was going to be new house roof setting feast

This was the custom of building houses in the countryside.

Friends, relatives, neighbors would be present to congratulate.

After the beams were placed on the roof, the firecrackers would be set off with sugar candy.

Whether it was children or adults, all would rush to get it.

Originally, Ye Xiaochen didn’t plan to make it big, just family relatives, few friends, and some villagers, which would be no more than ten tables.

Today happened to be Sunday, many young people would go for temporary work.

A lot of family relatives were also outside.

However, who thought that this time’s feast, all the family relatives said they would come to participate.

Ye Xiaochen naturally couldn’t deny them, so it became a big party, at most he would get a little busy.

Adding family relatives and villagers, it would be more than thirty tables.

Ye family had a lot of relatives, there were five brothers and three sisters on father’s side, while the mother’s side had a little less, there were still three brothers and two sisters.

This was only the closest relatives, there were also other relatives, such as his father’s cousin!

It was the same with her mother.

Even his aunt’s husband and their children were also coming.

This would add more than thirty tables.

The list doesn’t finish here, as Ye Xiaochen’s some business partners would be also attending.

Although he didn’t invite them, he doesn’t know where they got the news. They congratulated him and said they would definitely be coming on the day of the feast.

So, now it was around 35 tables.

For the safe side, it was better to prepare 40 tables. If there were too many people and not enough food, won’t it become a joke?

Ye Xiaochen was speechless. Isn’t this just an ordinary feast? Is it necessary to make it so lively?

Ye Xiaochen had no choice but to become busy.

In fact, he doesn’t have to do anything.

Because the feast has been outsourced.

At nine o’clock the guest started coming.

Ye Ying carried a bag and was receiving red envelopes.

When you receive a red envelope, you have to return a red envelope.

This time’s returning red envelope amount was ordinary, around ten to twenty yuan.

As there were so many people, his sister rarely stopped.

As time went on, Ye Xiaochen’s business partners started coming in their cars.

Ye Xiaochen had to go up and receive them in person.

Li Jiaren, Liu Fusheng, Xu Jiao, Master Lin and others.

There were also some leaders of counties and cities.

Wang Shusiheng’s family also came.

Fang Yuan and Huang Qiqi were also present.

Even many people from the institute came.

He doesn’t know how they got the news.

Zeng Hongye sent a secretary.

It was eleven o clock, the inside and outside house were bustling with people, and the total number of tables were more than 35.

Crackle….

On the eave of the new house, a sealed firecracker was hung, after ignition, a loud explosion suddenly sounded.

All the voices were covered by the sound of the firecrackers.

Shortly, different kinds of sugar candy fell from the roof like rain.

A lot of people rushed to take it.

The scene was very lively.

At noon, inside and outside of the new house was filled with tables and chairs, the tables were present even in the old house.

Thirty-eight tables.

This was definitely a large scale feast.

It was lively until three o’clock, after that the guest started leaving. Ye Xiaochen saw off the last group of guests.

Only some close relatives were there at home.

Wang Xinyi also went back with Wang Shuisheng.

“Xioachen, come and have a drink with us.”

“Xiaochen, now you are a big celebratory, the pride of our Ye family. Brother toasts to you. “

“Let’s have a good drink today. Until you get drunk, we won’t go back.”

At the wine table, Ye Xiaochen’s various cousins were there, most of them were married.

It was hard to meet them together like today.

“All right, let’s drink.”

Ye Xiaochen sat down on the chair with a smile.

After an hour later, Ye Xiaochen finished the last glass of wine, he saw that nobody could stand up, and smiled.

Really an invincible drinker!

Evening.

The noises were gone.

All the tables and chairs have been removed.

The floor was swept clean.

Ye Xiacohen’s family was registering and counting red envelopes.

Ye Ying was holding a pen and a notebook and carefully noted down the gift money.

Now, people eating at a feast would generally give 100 yuan, if they have good relations, they might give 200 yuan, if it was a family relative, then three to four hundred yuan was normal.

“Wow, there’s a lot!”

Ye Ying opened a big red envelope, there was a full stack of notes, it was around 5000 yuan.

The business partners gave a lot.

The next few red envelopes contained three to five thousand yuan.

The highest one was of Wang Shuisheng, which had 10,000 yuan.

It took a few hours to calculate and register all the red envelopes.

Adding all the gift money, it reached around 100,000 yuan.

It doesn’t seem like much, but actually, it was a lot.

Under normal circumstances, in Ye Xiaochen’s family feast it was already good to reach the gift money 8000-9000 yuan.

Now it was ten times.

Of course, 100,000 yuan was not much for the current Ye Xiaochen.

Now that the immortal spring restaurant branch has been opened in Yang city, his monthly dividend has increased a lot, it was not a problem to earn seven to eight million per month.

“Son, so many people came to the feast, many of them are your friends, so you have to give them a gift. Your father and I will take care of our relatives and villagers.”

Mother reminded him.

She was afraid that his son would forget and lose the courtesy.

Courtesy calls for reciprocity. Now that someone has attended his feast, it was natural that he should attend any happy event later when that person hosts.

“Mother, don’t worry, I’ll remember it.”

Ye Xiaochen nodded.

In the past, due to a lack of friends, he would rarely attend any banquets.

He really needs to pay attention to this aspect.

“Brother, here are all the records of your friend’s money, take it.”

Ye Ying handed Ye Xiaochen a notebook.

Ye Xiaochen nodded and took the notebook, he saw that father and mother went to sleep, then suddenly he smiled and said, “Didn’t Guo Moyun also give a red envelope, why didn’t you write it down?”

Ye Ying blushed and said, “What is there to write, any way you don’t need to care about it.”

“All right, I won’t care about it.”

Ye Xiaochen laughed.

“Here is the money.”

Ye Ying handed the paper bag with money to Ye Xiaochen.

“You take and use it.”

Ye Xiaochen waved his hand and walked out with the notebook.

When Ye Ying saw the paper bag in her hand, she was stunned for a moment, and then she put it in her bag.
