When Qi Taiguo ca back from the army, he held his son and played with him for a bit, then Cheng Su started talking to him about the full moon banquet.
"So, do we host the banquet or not, and how should we do it?" Cheng Su asked him.
Their situation was a bit special. They were in Qing City, and there were so comrades there; if they were inviting people, they would have to invite so folks over there too. anwhile, they also had relatives in their hotown, and in Guangcheng, there was a family friend they got along well with, all of whom lived far away.
As for the Guangcheng Cheng Family, Cheng Yaozu ntioned that for the full moon banquet, the old man had intended to drop by, and as for how many people would co, one table should be enough.
Also locally, Cheng Su had good friends like the Ying family and Luh Kai. Calculating this, there were quite a few people!
Cheng Su did so calculations, and just on her side, there were already about four or five tables of people, not counting the relatives from her own family and her husband’s family.
"There are quite a few people when you add it up," Cheng Su clicked her tongue, "What about on your side?"
"In the army, I can’t just take leave freely, so on my side, it won’t be much. At most two or three tables would be enough," Qi Taiguo replied.
Cheng Su nodded and said, "If we’re inviting, what about your hotown? Your mom’s mobility..."
Traveling from their hotown involved taking a long-distance bus, which was inconvenient. For their own family, it was okay, but with so many relatives, it was really hard to manage.
Qi Taiguo frowned. Mother Qi had limited mobility, always depended on crutches, and could fall easily. If it could be avoided, it was best not to have her travel so far to attend the full moon banquet.
But if they didn’t invite her, just leaving her at ho? That wouldn’t be good either. Who knew what the elderly would think in their hearts!
"My mom thinks that since we can only have one child now, the banquet is symbolic, and we should at least have a couple of tables to celebrate. If not, we could just have a al together as a family!" Cheng Su conveyed what Mother Cheng ant.
Back then, so neighbors didn’t throw big banquets, but they still had a few tables. Now it was their turn, and not having a banquet seed unreasonable. Besides, they weren’t short of money, it was just a hassle with friends and family being scattered.
Qi Taiguo agreed, saying, "Mother-in-law is right. We only have the one son, so hosting a couple of tables is fitting. Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll ask dad to see what he thinks. If we don’t invite relatives from the hotown, we can have a few tables when the child turns a hundred days old."
Cheng Su thought about it and found this suggestion feasible.
"We also need to notify people early. For those nearby, just a word would do, but those farther away need advance notice and we should send invitations. We shouldn’t wait until the last minute," Cheng Su was always well-organized.
"I’ll call ho right now!" Qi Taiguo said as he put his son back in bed, and gave him a kiss.
But the little boy, whether he disliked it or sothing, always turned his face away.
"Look at him, every ti, he acts like he can’t stand . Every ti I kiss him, he turns his face away!" Qi Taiguo mockingly tapped his son’s leg.
Cheng Su laughed heartily.
After Qi Taiguo went out to make the call, Cheng Su picked up their son, looked into his eyes, and asked, "Tell , do you understand? Are you enlightened? Otherwise, why are you so clever?"
Qi Xiaoqi stared at her steadily, yawned in response, and tried to nuzzle into her embrace.
He was ready to feed.
"You little rascal," Cheng Su scolded while lifting her clothes to nurse him, feeling both content and sweet inside.
