Speaking exercise

I’m off day.

It was good, we just talked about the wedding. We had dinner together and our parents both drunk. They have a game for Mid-autumn festival. They will buy a lot of everyday goods. They will use the plate and throw the dice. They will see the number and take the multiples of 3. This game is very traditional. We went to Xiamen on Friday evening.

I will hold the wedding. I need to go buy some suit. We won’t hold the wedding in other place, only in SH. Because we have a lot of relatives in our hometown so we don’t want to invite a lot of relatives to the wedding. We only have two weekends to prepare it. Because first weekend is National Holiday so I will go back my hometown.
