The table is laid for six.
She has worked three days to handpick ingredients, cook traditional dishes with contemporary flair and present those in a manner appealing to millennial appetites.
“Thank you, Mrs. Jones! We love the Christmas dinners at your place. Our families could perhaps never afford such a meal.”
“Ohh! Don’t mention that. It gives me so much of pleasure to spend time with you.”
Her brood had flown the nest long ago, and never come back to the village.
Since then, she tries hard to educate herself and match up to metropolitan culture. Maybe someday, they do…

I’m glad she has someone to share her lovely meal with.

It’s nice she found appreciative diners. Her family might come to miss the home cooking, nothing like it in their big cities. I understand wanting to leave a small village, or town, with the lure of the city, but coming home to visit once in a while is nice too. I can say that, I don’t have those circumstances, but it sounds nice! She shouldn’t try to change.

Each section of the population has a different perspective. At some places, grandchildren do not like to visit places where there are no malls or multiplexes.
