At the full-month banquet for little He Qing, Lou Xiao'e's smile was particularly bright.

She raised her glass and sipped.

The look of "people getting drunk even if the wine doesn't make them drunk" is not only because of the aroma of the wine, but also comes from the infinite emotion and yearning for the arrival of this new life in the heart.

From time to time, she lowered her head and gently stroked her belly, with a soft and longing light in her eyes. She silently wished in her heart that she could also have such a cute and healthy little life.

This scene undoubtedly gave Xu Damao mixed feelings.

He looked at his daughter-in-law's gentle and slightly melancholy expression, and waves of guilt surged in his heart.

Looking back on the past, the time he had missed due to his youthful vigor and lack of restraint was like a sharp blade that gently cut through his heart, leaving unspeakable pain.

He knew very well that if it weren't for his past indulgence and neglect, they might have already had a child of their own.

Xu Damao gently held Lou Xiao'e's hand and gave her the most firm promise, as if to say: "Wife, we will definitely have children."

In the blink of an eye, we stepped into the spring of 1964, the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the day when the dragon raises its head.

It’s Lou Xiaoe’s birthday!

Coincidentally, it happened to be Sunday.

Xu Damao knew that his wife had a piece of land in her heart, and she always compared her belly with that of the fat boy in Sha Zhu's family.

But he was also anxious and helpless, so he had to think of ways to make Lou Xiao'e happy.

So, he secretly made arrangements and invited his godfather and godmother, as well as Sha Zhu's family, and his godson brother Zhu Zirui, to give Lou Xiao'e a lively birthday "party".

Shazhu and Luo Xiujuan were leading He Qing, who was walking with Zaba Zaba. As soon as the little guy walked into the door, he shouted, "Auntie, happy birthday."

It made everyone laugh.

Zhu Zirui came up from behind, picked up He Qing, and started playing the game of lifting him up high.

Zhuang Junwei also ran over and teased the little one, calling him "brother" and "uncle" from time to time.

Obviously, He Qing once again successfully stole the limelight from the protagonist Lou Xiao'e.

However, the little guy's father is not as inconsiderate as him. He is really a capable man!

Sha Zhu took the lead, wielding the big spoon, and said bluntly: "My wife told me at home that the dishes today are better than any gifts.

I must show off some of my unique skills so that Xiao'e can have a great 24th birthday with plenty of food and wine!"

He Qing was also very clever. Before his father finished speaking, he started to make a noise: "All light, all light!"

This atmosphere is simply amazing.

Even the godfather and godmother were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling, and the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes could not be hidden.

There are twelve dishes, and Shazhu actually mixed up the cuisines, including Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Tan cuisine. They are so authentic that they make people salivate!

For this birthday party, Sha Zhu turned it into a feast of cuisines.

After everyone was seated, Xu Damao stood up, picked up his glass, cleared his throat and said, "Today is my wife's birthday, thank you all for coming.

Especially godfather and godmother, you two have been worrying about us a lot.

Let me toast you first!" After saying that, Xu Damao drank it all in one gulp.

Kung Pao Chicken, the chicken is tender and smooth, the peanuts are crispy, the food is spicy with a hint of sweetness and freshness. One bite will make you gasp for air because of the spiciness, but you can't help but have another bite.

There is also the boiled fish, the fish slices are as thin as cicada wings, slippery and spicy, fresh and fragrant, it is simply a dance on the tip of your tongue!

There is also the boiled chicken, with smooth skin and tender meat, dipped in the special ginger and scallion oil, every bite is the ultimate respect for the taste buds.

Sha Zhu's cooking skills really brought liveliness and substance to the dinner table. Everyone was having a great time eating and praising his cooking skills, which were truly unmatched!

Lou Xiao'e was holding He Qing and chatting happily with Luo Xiujuan.

Xu Damao saw this and felt much more at ease.

He felt that as long as Lou Xiao'e was happy, everything he did was worth it.

A carefully prepared "luxurious" birthday party, with laughter and joy, was added with a bit of warmth and surprise because of the episode of baby He Qing wetting his pants.

As Sha Zhu's family said goodbye, the house gradually returned to silence.

Only the godfather, godmother and Zhu Zirui were left.

Zhuang Junwei, the youngest boy in the family, carefully made hot tea for everyone, then sat next to Zhu Zirui to share this rare leisure time.

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of tea and turned her gaze to Xu Damao. The two exchanged glances tacitly.

Then she took out a letter from her pocket and handed it respectfully to her godfather.

The old man took the letter, put on his reading glasses and read it carefully.

After reading it, he handed the letter to Lou Xiao'e, who handed it to Zhu Zirui and Zhuang Junwei who were staring at it eagerly without hesitation.

Seeing that everyone was immersed in the letter, but she was in a daze, the godmother became anxious and said with a hint of anger: "Are you making fun of an illiterate old woman like me?

Tell me quickly, who is this letter from? What is written in it? " Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e quickly comforted him, "It's a letter from my parents, sent by an old friend of my father.

They are all fine, but..." She paused for a moment, her eyes gently falling on Zhuang Junwei, "My father thinks that the current learning environment in Hong Kong is better for Junwei, and they also hope that Junwei can stay with them."

Hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed across Zhuang Junwei's eyes. He mustered up his courage and whispered to Lou Xiao'e, "Master's Wife, I...I don't want to leave so far.

I want to continue to stay with you and Master." His voice was soft but full of affection.

Upon hearing this, the godfather looked deeply at the grown-up child and said earnestly, "My boy, a man should have great ambitions.

I think you have potential. You should go out into the world and broaden your horizons.

Wouldn't it be better if you can come back to be filial to your master and mistress when you have made a name for yourself in the future?"

The godfather's words, which contained both encouragement and expectations, caused ripples in Zhuang Junwei's heart.

At this moment, the house was quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window, which seemed to be accompanying this conversation about growth and separation.

At this time, Xu Damao, as Zhuang Junwei's master, delivered a particularly important speech.

"You little brat, even though your master is a man of both literary and military skills, shouldn't we leave someone to protect your mistress?

As for whether your master's wife can live a better life in the future, it depends on you.

Anyway, it's still a living if I have to eat coarse food.

Being extremely rich and powerful is also a way of life.

Think about it yourself, who of us is more suitable to stay with your master's wife? Who is more suitable to go out and make a name for himself?"

Zhuang Junwei replied without hesitation: "I am suitable for all of them."
