In the evening, Mrs. Shen prepared a full table of dishes, six dishes and one soup, three meat dishes, and two vegetarian. In the middle was a steamed fish, made by Mrs. Shen herself.
Su Zhongshi also brought out wine, intending to have a good drink with his son-in-law, Gu Ya. Of course, Gu Ya would accompany his father-in-law in drinking since it was he who proposed the toast.
Su Muze was also supposed to drink, as he always had a small amount whenever Su Zhongshi had wine, but today Su Muze had a head injury and was not fit for drinking, so he abstained. During the meal, Su Yunjin talked to Mrs. Shen and the others about her and Gu Ya moving out and fixing up their own house elsewhere.
When they learned that Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, the couple, had built a house in the village, Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi were very happy for Su Yunjin. "Little sister, you and your husband have really built a house," Su Ningxiu said excitedly.
