Chapter 328 Preparing the Banquet (9)_1
Ruan Jiaojiao was now the best at dealing with adults, and upon hearing the words, she immediately squeezed out a sweet smile, responding compliantly, "Yes, I’ve missed you very much."
"Oh my, my little sweetheart." Zhao Li couldn’t resist that at all. Holding Jiaojiao’s little face, she gave her two firm kisses, leaving several big red lip prints on it. This made Xiu Xi, who was behind her, clutch the handkerchief in his pocket tightly, wishing he could rush over and wipe it clean immediately!
After doting on Ruan Jiaojiao for a while, Zhao Li then stood up to greet the Ruanlin Family.
Mrs. Ruanlin smiled and invited her to enter the house first; when she saw several young men jump off the back of the delivery truck, she thought they were their friends. She was about to invite them in when she saw the young men pull down two planks at the back of the truck, go inside, and come out again, this time with three people lifting something down together.
At this, the crowd that had already taken their seats, waiting for the banquet to start, couldn’t sit still anymore and gathered around.
Seeing several workers helping to carry down some chairs carved with flowers, so beautiful that they took one’s breath away, everyone opened their mouths wide, buzzing with discussion.
Those who had never seen such things thought they were chairs and exclaimed, "Why are these chairs so big? They can seat several people, can’t they?"
The ones who had seen them before explained with a look of disdain, "Nonsense, this is called a sofa. Several pieces can make up a set. It’s all the rage in the big cities now. I’ve seen them when I was in the city; all those rich families sit on these. It’s so comfortable and spacious."
The discussions continued in a steady stream among the crowd.
