Chapter 265: Chapter 265: A Sea of People, Colorful Flags Fluttering

The banquet was set right in front of Yue Family’s house.

The day truly was a sea of people, with colorful flags fluttering about.

The flags were specially made by Yue Xiaofang, displaying "Happy Birthday to Yue Qingqing and Yue Xiaohu" and "Celebrating Yue Jiannan’s University Admission."

Yue Jiannan, stroking his chin, was directing things below, occasionally offering suggestions.

"I should put my flag in the middle, right? The color isn’t bright enough. Why not use bright red and sprinkle some gold dust on it so it sparkles from afar?"

Yue Xiaofang covered her face, utterly despairing over her brother’s tacky aesthetic.

Lin Chunju snorted, "How old are you? Still quarreling with children. If you ask me, they should take down your flag."

Yue Jiannan couldn’t help but pout.

He knew that no matter whether he was admitted to university or not, his status at home wouldn’t change at all.

He was still the lowest of the lot.

When everyone cares about how high and far you fly,

Only family cares whether your wings are hard enough, that you might deserve a beating.

Yue Qingqing and Yue Xiaohu buzzed around the temporarily set-up stoves like little bees, the delicious smells causing people to drool continuously.

Yue Xingxing cautioned nearby, "No, we have to wait until the dishes are served before eating."

Wang Xiaoni, smiling, brought over a plate of mung bean cakes, "Here, sweeten your mouth first."

The again-fed Yue Qingqing conceded that some habits are indeed too hard to break.

Many familiar faces appeared, with Lin Chunju, as the elder of the host family, welcoming each one.

There was the long-unseen Village Chief Ma and his still robust father, along with the kindly smiling Granny Zhou.

And Ma Qiang, who’d recently been promoted to the chief of Jinshan Village police station, along with a few of his brothers.

The younger generations were received by Yue Jiandong.

Jin Aijun looked at the imposing Yue Jiandong and couldn’t help but remark, "Brother Yue, I hardly recognize you now."

Yue Jiandong patted his shoulder, "What’s there not to recognize? Your brother is still your brother, same as always."

While speaking, Yu Guo’an hurriedly ran up to report, "The new batch of ingredients has been delivered."

The Yue Family’s banquet was set to last three days and nights, and the necessary ingredients were transported by truck.

After Yue Jiandong called out a few times, he rolled up his sleeves to check and unload the goods.

Lin Xiaohong and Zhang Ying temporarily set up a table to accept gifts.

The villagers all knew that the Yues had told everyone in Daye Village that guests needn’t bring anything.

But there were many from other villages who also wanted to come; these people, neither kith nor kin of the Yue Family, could not simply come empty-handed to mooch off the feast.

After directing around aimlessly at the flags, Yue Jiannan had just returned to the scene when he was surrounded by people.

"Third Brother Yue, how did you get into university? Are the teachers in the city that good?"

"Third Brother, do you think my child has the talent for school?"

"My kid can recite poems now. Come, recite one for Uncle Yue."

Yue Jiannan wanted to say he wasn’t a fortune-teller, how could he tell at a glance whether someone had talent?

But amidst the children’s exaggerated recitations of "Goose, goose, goose," he felt too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Before everyone just called him Yue Laotian, Yue Laotian, but suddenly it turned into Third Brother Yue.

Yue Jiannan scratched his head, feeling a surge of joy from his academic underdog comeback.

No wonder his mother had always told him to study hard—turns out doing well in school could even upgrade your title.

Amidst Yue Jiannan’s jumbled thoughts, the Yue Family’s "Top Scholar Banquet" officially began.
