Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Then, I will let Ah Li and Jianmin handle the wedding banquet. Sister Liu Piao, you just need to inform me how many tables you need, and we will prepare the ingredients."
Liu Piao thought for a moment and said, "I only have a handful of friends and family, so two tables are enough for me."
"My family needs three tables for friends and one table for the village elders and production team leaders," Zhang Ermu added.
Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Including the bride and groom's table, there will be seven tables. I will prepare enough ingredients for ten tables. If there are more guests, we can just open another table. This way, all the guests will have a seat."
Zhang Ermu nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, we will leave this matter to you. Please calculate the cost and let me know. I will return the money to you later."
"Brother-in-law, we can talk about the cost after the banquet. There's no rush," Lu Jueyu replied.
"Alright."
After they reached an agreement, Lu Jueyu sent them off and returned to the kitchen.
At this moment, Dong Li and Chen Jianmin were washing the dishes after cleaning up the kitchen. They had cooked the dishes in large portions but only served a small amount, so there were a lot of leftovers.
Sitting on the balcony, Lu Jueyu looked at them and said, "Ah Li, Jianmin, the two of you are doing great. The Zhang family is very satisfied with the dishes, so the two of you will handle the banquet."
"Mother, will we be able to do it?" Dong Li asked with doubts.
"Don't worry. When you cook, Mother will be there. If both of you can't handle it, Mother will help you," Lu Jueyu assured her son.
After hearing his mother's words, Dong Li nodded and felt more at ease. When they finished cleaning up, it was already noon, so they had lunch together before Chen Jianmin returned to his home, holding two three-layered bamboo baskets.
Before he returned to his home, Chen Jianmin took a detour and went to visit Li Shu. When he reached Doctor Xie's house, he saw her washing clothes at the well while Shitou was catching worms in the medicinal herb garden.
He pushed the gate and entered the yard with familiarity while saying, "Shushu, look at what I brought for you."
Hearing his voice, Li Shu raised her head and asked, "Jianmin, you are here."
After he had placed the three-layered bamboo baskets on the balcony, he walked over and said, "Shushu, you go rest. I will do the rest."
Li Shu was already used to him helping her, so she didn't refuse. After washing her hands, she went to check the bamboo baskets.
Before she opened the lid, Shitou came over and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you bring delicious food for my sister again?"
