"It's not good for us to step in."
Jiang Dejun saw that many of the people in the crowd were from the same generation as his parents. They were all elders. The elders came to mourn his father. As juniors, what could they say?
If this matter was not handled well, the brothers would probably be scolded. When the funeral was ruined, their reputation would be lost.
The siblings thought about it. That was indeed the case.
Jiang Dejun focused his attention on the senior in the village who was keeping accounts.
"I still have to do this."
Therefore, they called the old man who was busy counting money over to discuss.
"Uncle, we counted the number of people yesterday. At most, there were twelve tables. Then, we bought the vegetables from thirteen tables.”
Sir System expressed that this was a family matter. How could an outsider like him talk about it? He did not know why so many people were here.
"Grandpa, you're the old secretary of the village. Who doesn't respect you? We respect you from the bottom of our hearts. It's really hard for us juniors to talk about this.”
Although Sir System was very happy to be coaxed, he was still rational. It was not good for him to step in when he had offended someone.
"It's not easy for me to say this. I can't chase them away, right?”
Jiang Dejun quickly waved his hand and chased them away. Wouldn't they be scolded by others?
"Sir, why don't you tell everyone that there are too many people here. We can't all sit at the table. Squeeze a little. If it really doesn't work, can we stand and eat?”
Jiang Dejun's expression was speechless. Some tables were filled with children, and a few adults brought a few children.
If there were more seats, the child could sit.
It was obvious that there were not enough seats. The children had taken up the seats while many elders were standing. How ugly was that?
Sir System looked into the courtyard and understood what Jiang Dejun and the others meant.
Actually, there was another way, which was to divide the banquet into two batches. After one batch finished eating, the next batch would be replaced.
However, in this way, he had to spend more money to buy vegetables and give Jiang Ping more money to help him cook a few more tables.
Jiang Dejun's siblings were not rich people. The money for the funeral was 20,000 yuan from each of the brothers.
At that time, he had only thought of a dozen tables. The vegetables he bought were all good, and he had spent a few thousand.
They were not willing to pay more now.
Therefore, they could only squeeze together.
The portion of the dishes was sufficient. If the children didn't come to the table, and if their own family didn't come to the table, they should be able to cope.
After discussing it for a while, there was no better way, so Sir System went to the men who had the right to speak in each family to give them some advice.
Everyone understood.
Generally speaking, when one went to a banquet, there would not be a large family, including the elderly and children.
However, it was also because the dishes at Jiang Dejun's banquet this time were too fragrant.
This fragrance had been floating in the air since yesterday. Who in the village hadn't smelled it?
For example, those children were all guarding the iron pot. They were unwilling to leave. When they returned home, they would cry and say that they wanted to eat at the banquet.
Knowing that they were here to eat today, all of them wanted to bring a basin to eat. How could they be willing to stay at home? They had already come to reserve seats.
Parents who doted on their children could not persuade their children.
In addition, the aroma of the feast was really tempting. Everyone had come over.
No one said that they could still suck up to him.
Now that there were so many people without seats, the children were all chased off the table.
If it really didn't work, he could only squeeze in a chair.
Just like that, when it was 12 o'clock, there were still many people who were unwilling to leave. They stood beside their families and prepared to eat.
"Aiyo, there aren't enough bowls and chopsticks."
Jiang Dejun and the others distributed bowls and chopsticks one by one. In the end, there was not enough.
The brothers looked at each other with bitter expressions.
"It's fine, it's fine. I'll go back and get the cutlery from my house.”
When the neighbors heard that there were no bowls and chopsticks, they immediately started the banquet. Wouldn't it delay their dinner?
One by one, they ran home enthusiastically and soon brought dozens of bowls and chopsticks over.
Those who didn't get the bowls and chopsticks knew that Jiang Dejun's family didn't have any bowls and chopsticks, so they ran home to get them, afraid that they would delay the meal.
With this, everyone was waiting for the banquet to begin.
As more and more dishes were cooked, the fragrance of the entire courtyard could make people faint.
All of them stared at Jiang Ping's actions.
"The braised fish is out of the pot. It's 12 o'clock.”
Jiang Ping looked at the dishes in the courtyard and looked at the time. He quickly asked Jiang Dejun's family to start serving the dishes. Otherwise, there would be no place to put the dishes.
"Alright, it's time to start eating. Serve the dishes!"
"The cold dishes can be served now."
When they heard that the banquet was about to begin, everyone, regardless of gender or age, stopped chatting. The children also stopped running around crazily. They all took their bowls and chopsticks actively and obediently waited for the dishes to be served.
"Alright, the spiced beef is here."
"Cold cucumber salad ~"
Everyone had waited until now on an empty stomach, and it was finally time for the banquet to begin.
This call for the banquet to begin had the effect of a hundred responses.
Everyone in the courtyard was so excited that they wanted to stand up and serve the dishes themselves.
"Come, give me the dishes. I'll help you carry them.”
If you don't work hard, you have a problem with your thinking.
The entire courtyard instantly became lively as soon as the banquet began.
When the dishes were served, everyone's eyes lit up. They looked at each other and their expressions became serious.
The atmosphere instantly became tense…
