After the first dish was served, three more dishes were served ten minutes later.

The second round of dishes was served and the newlyweds toasted.

Toasts should be made to the host first. Not only the guests, but the newlyweds also have to make three toasts to the matchmaker. Little classmate Le Xiao didn’t drink, so his aunt drank on his behalf.

After toasting to the four tables in the upper room, the newlyweds then go to other tables to toast one by one.

At the end of the toast for the newlyweds, the third round of dishes was served. When the newlyweds finished toasting, the kitchen staff served the last round of dishes, two vegetarian and one meat.

The last meat dish is meatballs, which represents completion and also means that the food has been served. If anyone has something to do or is in a hurry, they can leave the table early after the meal.

When the last dish was served, the young people of the Zhou family left the table and went to Grandma Zhou's room to carry out baskets and distribute wedding cakes and red envelopes to guests at each table.

The money in the red envelope is not much, usually two, four or six yuan is enough. One red envelope per person, no matter old or young, everyone has a share.

The Zhou family’s red envelope is four yuan, no more, no less.

The wedding cake not only includes cakes, but also wedding candies, packed in bags, one for each person.

The villagers who came to Zhou's house for a wedding banquet got the wedding cakes, ate for a while, and after eating and drinking, they gathered in groups and returned to their homes one after another.

The guests at the banquet all resigned, and Village Chief Zhou went to the banquet to accompany the guests to drink. The Cao family was afraid that the bride-to-be would get drunk and cause something embarrassing.

Due to the kindness of the village chief, I stopped drinking.

The guests at the table ate until about 1:20, when the guest of honor had a good time and dispersed.

After the host and guests dispersed, Mrs. Liu and others who were in charge of the work quickly cleared away the tableware and served tea and fruit plates.

After drinking a cup of tea with the Cao family, Le Yun first excused herself, found Uncle Zhou and Grandma Zhou, and gave the red envelope given by Principal Yin to the newlyweds.

Brother Zhou was embarrassed to accept the red envelope from Principal Yin. The little boy told him that if he didn't accept the red envelope, the old principal would think that the Zhou family was complaining about his poor matchmaking performance last time, so he accepted it.

Grandma Zhou packed a wedding cake and candies, and a red envelope, went to the kitchen to get a piece of meat, and asked her son and daughter-in-law to go with Xiao Lele to Lejia to thank the old principal with a return gift for the old principal.
