Description of a collective laughter in Chapter 44 of "Dream of Red Mansions":

When Jia Mu said "please", Grandma Liu stood up and said loudly : "Old Liu, Old Liu, eats as much as a cow. He can eat an old sow without raising his head." But he puffed up his cheeks and said nothing. Everyone was stunned at first, and then when they heard it, they burst out laughing. Shi Xiangyun couldn't hold it in anymore and spit out a mouthful of rice; Lin Daiyu stopped laughing and leaned on the table to cry.

Baoyu rolled into Jia Mu's arms early. Jia Mu hugged Baoyu with a smile and called her "heart"; Mrs. Wang pointed at Sister Feng with a smile and was speechless; Aunt Xue couldn't hold on either. Stop, the tea in his mouth sprayed all over Tanchun's skirt; Tanchun's rice bowl was folded on Yingchun; Xichun left his seat, pulled his wet nurse and asked her to rub her intestines.
