Visitors to the old courtyard weren't just Liu Sanjin's relatives, but also Lu Lanhua and Lu Miaomiao, particularly Lu Lanhua who felt like sitting on pins and needles. She was anxious to find Shen Meng, but Liu Sanjin was busy showing off his two daughters, his son, and daughter-in-law, making it difficult for her to leave.
Finally, when everyone had arrived and there was some free time, she quickly grabbed the gifts she brought and headed to Shen Meng's house.
Lu Mingyang's children spread their hands to show their loot from this gathering. Not bad, they threw tantrums and said auspicious words, and finally got some spending money, quite a bit actually, 20 cents each. That was pretty good, as most families would make their kids thrilled with just a penny.
