The Lantern Festival is the first festival of the New Year, and it is a reunion day with full moon and flowers, so it looks particularly grand.

Xue Ling was worried that he would take two young people at home and would be very busy with dinner, so he asked everyone to go downstairs to have a dinner together and told the lobby manager to arrange three tables of meals.

"The third uncle wants to come with his two cousins, so he orders an extra table."

Dad Xue smiled and said, "Yes! Let them come over quickly! I have prepared a gift for my third brother and told him to come."

Cheng Tianyuan came over with Xiao Xin in his arms and explained: "Datong and his classmates went to a party. Duoduo has to make up for classes tomorrow and couldn't go home. Uncle Zheng and Xiaoyi are just at home, so I'll let them go downstairs to eat together."

"Okay!" Xue's mother smiled and said, "Xiaoyi's daughter is beautiful and well-behaved. She didn't see her for a while, and she had to give her a red envelope."

Xue Heng hugged Xiao Chong and said with a wry smile: "The TV station has a Lantern Festival Gala tonight. I heard that some programs are going to be broadcast live. Afang and his department have to stay on duty, so they can't eat together."

"It's okay." Liu Ying said: "Work is important, so I will leave two bowls of glutinous rice balls for her to eat. When she comes back, she can eat it in the pot."

Xue Heng smiled and said, "Thank you mom. You go to bed early tonight. Maybe it's already two or three o'clock in the middle of the night when she comes back. If I'm awake, I'll give her food."

Cheng Muhai asked his son-in-law curiously: "Aheng, where are your parents? They all have to be on duty?"

"No," Xue Heng explained: "They are old and can't stay up late. They have applied to the dean for daytime duty and cancel all night shifts. They should be about to get off work, so Ah Huan will come to pick them up after get off work."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Zhilan and Xue Huan walked in.

"I heard that Brother Wu, sister-in-law, and in-laws came back today. I looked at the clock on the wall and waited for get off work. Where is my gift? Ranran? Yangyang? Where is my uncle's gift?"

Everyone laughed.

Ranran hurriedly took out a conch, came forward and explained seriously: "Uncle, this conch is orange, beautiful? I heard that it will last for eight or nine years to be so big!"

"Wow!" Xue Zhilan pretended to be surprised and asked: "It's been so long? What a small one, but it's very beautiful! Thank you Ranran!"

Xue Huan picked up Xiao Yangyang and asked, "Where is my uncle's gift? Didn't you talk about a chain? I always remember that when you called last time!"

"Uncle Huan, you are a boy and you can't wear chains." Yangyang said seriously: "I'll give you a little coral. It's very beautiful. Let you put it on your desk."

"Oh!" Xue Huan pinched his little nose and smiled, "It seems to be quite reasonable! What does the little coral look like? Take it out and take a look! I haven't seen a real coral yet!"

"I bought it at the beach." Xue's father explained: "A fishermen went to the sea to smash it, and then took it to the beach to sell it. There were not many corals there, and occasionally small pieces were rolled over to the beach. Once when we were in the tide, we picked up two or three pieces - they were all pretty!"

Yangyang turned around and took out a piece, shouting excitedly: "Uncle Xue Huan, I'll give you this blue and white one! Is it beautiful?"

"Wow!" Xue Huan blinked his eyes and said, "It's very beautiful! It turns out that the coral is so hard... it looks like a small tree, very cute! I like it very much, thank you Yangyang."

Xue Huan kissed the little guy's head.

Ranran on the other side shouted: "Uncle Xue Huan, I helped wash that one! My hands almost hurt!"

Xue Huan tsk twice and asked with a smile: "What should I do? Why don't you kiss you too?"

Ranran ran away and said, "I don't want it! He is already a man!"

Everyone laughed.

After receiving the gift, Xue Huan hurriedly hid it in his pocket and said, "I will put it on my desk when I go back."

At this time, Zheng Sanyuan came with his daughter Xiaoyi.

Zheng Xiaoyi was wearing the most fashionable jeans, with soft long hair spread on her shoulders, and followed her dad shyly.

Everyone greeted him.

Xue's mother took out a big red envelope for Xiaoyi, held her hand and patted her, "Xiaoyi is getting more and more beautiful as she grows. It's almost nineteen, right? It's like a flower!"

Zheng Xiaoyi smiled and replied: "It will be nineteen in a few days. I was born on the 20th day of the first lunar month."

"Our family Ah Huan was also born in the first lunar month." Chen interrupted, "He is on the 19th day of the first lunar month."

"Oh! That's only one day away!" Zheng Sanyuan smiled and said, "One nineteen, the other twenty-nine?"

Chen nodded and explained: "Yes, he has been working for several years. He skipped the grade when he was a child and once in junior high school, so he graduated from a master's degree at the age of 24."

Zheng Sanyuan gave a thumbs up, "Young and promising!"

Zheng Xiaoyi, who was beside him, blushed and secretly glanced at Xue Huan, and found that he was holding Xiao Xintou, without hearing the movements here clearly.

Xue Ling looked at the time and shouted: "Everyone! Let's go downstairs to have a meal!"

Zhu Achun walked out and explained with a smile: "Xiao Chong didn't sleep much in the afternoon, he slept very well at this time. Everyone went down to eat, I'll guard him at home."

"What should you do with your supper?" Zheng Sanyuan asked with concern: "Isn't Xiao Tietou still downstairs?"

Zhu Achun said in a gentle voice: "He just came back, so I asked him to go to the house to cook some dumplings. We made dumplings earlier, which was enough to eat."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't force themselves to pack up and go downstairs.

Dad Xue and Xue Zhilan had a very happy chat. They walked out of the elevator and entered the restaurant, and turned to the private room.

"Ling, why haven't the third uncle arrived yet? Are you sure you didn't say the wrong time?"

"No." Xue Ling guessed: "It's probably because there are so many people who can wait."

Everyone sat down, only two tables, but one table belonged to the third uncle's family.

After waiting for a long time, the third uncle and the others arrived in a hurry.

The two sons and a grandson and granddaughter came, but the two daughters-in-law didn't see it. Xue Cong was also wearing formal clothes and a small bag hanging on her shoulders. It seemed that she had just gotten off work.

"I just got a call from my third uncle and asked me to come and eat together." Xue Cong smiled and said, "He said that if his two sisters-in-law don't come, the place will definitely be empty and things cannot be wasted. I asked me to help me eat. I came with shamelessness."

Xue Ling smiled and said, "You can't even invite me, don't be polite! Sit down!"

When Dad Xue saw her niece, he was very happy, so he took her hand, asked again and again.

Xue's mother hurriedly took out a snow-white and crystal pearl necklace from her pocket and handed it to Xue Cong.

"This is a gift bought from Nandao. It is not expensive, but it looks pretty good and it is cool when worn in summer."

Xue Cong happily accepted it, "Thank you uncle and aunt."

The people were almost there, and they started serving the dishes, and everyone was chatting while eating.

Zheng Xiaoyi sat next to Xue Huan, secretly observing what he ate and what he picked up.

Cheng Tianyuan held Xiao Xin and picked up food with chopsticks in one hand to take care of his two sons, while Xue Ling held the wine glass and walked around to chat with everyone.

When Xue Cong saw the upside down of their men and women, he couldn't help but smile.

The third uncle next to him had a calm face, looked depressed, and seemed very unhappy.

Seeing that the two cousins ​​didn't talk much, and the two sisters-in-law didn't come, they probably had a quarrel with each other again, so they asked my mother for two pearl necklaces and handed them to each cousin.

"My mother bought a lot of souvenirs and came back. My sister-in-law didn't come tonight. You can take them back to make them happy."

My cousin took the thanks one after another, turned to chat with Xue's father and mother, and asked a lot of topics about Nandao.

Xue Ling simply changed seats with her cousin and sat next to her third uncle.

"What do you think of the food tonight?"

Uncle San smiled and whispered: "It's still as rich and delicious as ever."

Xue Ling laughed and asked, "Why don't you eat too much?"

"I don't have much appetite." The third uncle replied with a wry smile: "I'm upset."
