On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, they finally returned to Yangzhou. Penglai Villa knew the news in advance and specially arranged a dinner to welcome them.
Although they had good food and drink in the villa in the past few months, they always felt inferior as they were living under someone else's roof. Now, after going to Huaibei for the free medical consultation, they actually gained some respect and were looked up to a lot more.
It was the first time they had sat at the same table with Blake Harrison. Blake Harrison sat at a distance from them. There was a table in front of each person, with freshly brewed warm wine prepared. The various dishes on the table were exquisite and rich.
"You've worked hard in Huaibei these past two months. Since the New Year is not over yet, I'd like to celebrate with you while we're having a welcome party. There are no red tape or etiquette tonight, so you don't have to be restrained, just be casual."
Blake Harrison was unusually friendly. After exchanging a few pleasantries with them, he sat on a high place drinking and listening to the music, not caring what was happening below. There was no outsider present except the servants.
