There are three places in Xiaotun Town that can host various banquets, and the place where Lin Caiwei's family is going this time, she doesn't know what it is called, but everyone will say that next to the Food Bureau, there are three villages, and there are eight villages, there is no special name, and everyone will know where the general report is.

Xiaotun Town is a relatively wealthy town, and it is famous among the surrounding towns, so most people here will basically choose those three places for banquets.
Everyone in the countryside has a yard, but there are not so many people who can sit down, and almost all of them know each other, or have relatives with each other, so it is inevitable that there will be many people to be invited, which requires a special place to undertake banquets.
For example, the place dedicated to the banquet has a spacious venue, supporting tables and chairs, women picking vegetables, mothers-in-law cooking, chefs and assistants, all supporting facilities are complete, including dishes, drinks, wine, and cigarettes for the banquet.
As we get closer and closer to the Food Bureau, there are more and more people, all of whom drag their families to the banquet.
Along the way, Lin Caiwei's family frequently attracted side-eyed attention, Guan Lanfen was very uncomfortable with Lin Aiguo, but Lin Caiwei was very calm.
When I arrived at the banquet place, all kinds of cars were placed on both sides of the road, of course, they were not good cars, famous cars. Motorcycles are the majority, followed by three-way motorcycles, even bicycles, vans, and finally a few cars are very conspicuous.
In the countryside, it is necessary to see how other people's families are doing, first look at the house and then look at the car, although the rural people are relatively simple, but they will inevitably compare with each other.
Families with motorcycles and three-wheeled motorcycles are considered to be good, vans are only bought by wealthy families in the countryside, and finally cars, which are only bought by wealthy families in the countryside, and even worse than middle-class families in the county towns of this era.
Of course, these cars are only domestic brands, such as Xiali and Alto, and it is estimated that there are only 30,000 or 40,000 cars based on the price of this era.
These 30,000 or 40,000 don't sound like much, but many ordinary people's annual income is only 10,000 or 20,000, and it's very good to be able to buy a motorcycle.
Anyway, Lin Caiwei in her previous life had never made a car before she went to high school, if you have to say it, being a taxi after high school is considered a car, thinking of this, Lin Caiwei shook her head.
That's why it's so rare and envied to have a car in town.
The road in Xiaotun Town was well repaired at this time, and the road was spacious enough, although there was a long line of cars parked on both sides, it would not be very crowded.
Passers-by will look at these cars with envy, and children will directly express their amazement, especially little boys, who are born with a yearning for cars.
Lin Caiwei quietly glanced at her father, although he covered it up well, Lin Caiwei still saw his desire for the car.
She is not envious, as long as the family works hard and works steadfastly, these will be there, although they can't be rich and expensive, it's still simple to live a good life.
Follow the flow of people all the way, and the most lively place is the place to go to the wedding feast.
I saw a couple of newlyweds standing at the gate, the man was wearing a suit, and the woman was wearing a wedding dress, although the style was earthy, the fabric was poor, but it could not stop the happy appearance of the newlyweds, and the bride was still very delicate against the backdrop.
Next to the newlyweds stood the parents of both sides, this is mainly to welcome the relatives of both sides, so as not to know each other, so they entertain their own relatives, and each family comes to tell the newlyweds a few words.
The bride holds a plate of candy in her hand, the groom holds a plate of cigarettes in her hand, and everyone who enters will grab a few candy to show blessings and dip the light, and the cigarette is for the men.
The men in the town like to smoke and drink, for example, Lin Caiwei's father and grandfather are very addicted to cigarettes and drink a lot of alcohol.
When they arrived at Lin Caiwei's family, the woman's parents, that is, Lin Aiguo's cousin, immediately recognized Lin Aiguo and greeted warmly, "Aiguo, you are here, this is your daughter, right?"
"Yes, aunt, this is my daughter Lin Caiwei, my wife you know, I wish my cousin a happy wedding and a good marriage for a hundred years", Lin Aiguo replied with a smile, and casually handed the prepared red envelope to the cousin.
The woman who took the red envelope smiled more enthusiastically, and her mouth was full of good words, "Oh, your family is really wearing today, this child looks smart, come on, come on, Xiaoling came over and brought the candy to this little sister."
When the bride heard her mother's words, she half-bent down with a smile and handed the candy to Lin Caiwei, Lin Caiwei grabbed a few casually, and said with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Aunt Xiaoling."
Looking at the sensible Lin Caiwei, the smile on Lin Aiguo's cousin's face was really satisfied and sincere, after all, the children and daughters who came here almost grabbed a lot of money and didn't say anything, and they had to put it in their pockets, choking her angry, and she had to grit her teeth and say don't be polite, take some more.
After a polite scene, Lin Caiwei and her parents finally entered, which is called a big one, it has to be thousands of square meters, of course, there is no decoration at all, half of it is open-air, half of it is in the house, and the tables and chairs are also the most ordinary and cheap, but they are big enough and complete.
At this time, half of the people in the open-air courtyard were already seated, and it was very lively, like thousands of ducks croaking at the same time, but although Lin Caiwei didn't like this kind of occasion, she missed it very much, so she didn't get bored.
There are also eight pairs of chopsticks and two packs of the cheapest restaurant paper on the empty table, just wait for someone to come, and someone will automatically serve you food when the table is full, and smoke and sugar.
As soon as Lin Caiwei's family entered, most of the people came over, some men looked at Guan Lanfen with glowing eyes, and some women, especially unmarried ones, looked at the tall and handsome Lin Aiguo with glowing eyes.
Of course, our Lin Caiwei was also watched, and was watched by the majority of women and girls, all talking about how good-looking this child is, and I don't know where to buy it, it's so good-looking, their family has an indescribable sense of harmony, anyway, it's a family at first glance.
Guan Lanfen and Lin Aiguo, who were watched before, can't take care of it anymore, because they are jealous.
People who were originally more conservative held hands with each other and leaned intimately together, as if to declare possession to those peeping eyes, don't make a bad idea.
Lin Caiwei hurriedly found a corner position and pulled her parents to sit down with their backs to those people.
After sitting down, there were a lot fewer people to see, and everyone chatted loudly again, and only the people nearby couldn't help but look at it from time to time.
