As soon as the children opened their eyes, they snuggled up to Zhuang Zhimeng affectionately and chattered away, telling her everything.

Happy birthday, Mom.

"We went to the Children's Palace with Grandpa and made you a cup out of clay."

"Happy birthday, Mom. The cup is very pretty."

"Happy birthday, Auntie. We put a lot of effort into making this."

"Happy birthday, Auntie. We made the shape, and Grandpa helped us bake it."

The four children all kissed her as they spoke.

Zhuang Zhimeng smiled, hugged the four children, and kissed them one by one.

"Thank you, I'm very touched."

An Qingbai had noticed the cup on the table long ago and picked it up.

"Wife, this is for you."

Zhuang Zhimeng picked up the cup.

"I must say, it's actually quite pretty, especially with its staggered design."

An Qingbai deliberately sighed.

"I'm so pitiful, no one has ever given me a cup that I made myself."

The four little ones all rushed to their father (uncle), expressing their gratitude repeatedly.

“When we go play again, we’ll make one for Dad (Uncle) too.”

An Qingbai was very happy and kissed the four little ones.

"Then I'll wait."

Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and put the cup down.

After the meal, the elders in her family gave her birthday gifts.

Zhuang Zhimeng was very happy.

Zhuang Zhimeng began teaching her lover to dance.

Turn on the radio and tune it to a music channel.

“Let’s learn the waltz first, Aber, put your arm around my shoulder.”

An Qingbai put his arms around his wife's shoulders.

"Haha, one hand was around my shoulder, and the other hand was holding mine, one above the other."

"I knew it! Now I understand."

"You start the dance, which means the man steps forward with his left leg and the woman steps back with her right leg."

Next, move your right foot next to your left foot, take a step to the side, and make a swinging motion.

Let's give it a try first.

"Okay, I understand."

An Qingbai stepped on his wife's foot as soon as he started walking.

"Sorry, honey, does it hurt?"

"It's alright, you didn't step on it too hard."

Let me demonstrate for you first.

Zhuang Zhimeng then performed a solo waltz.

"Honey, have you figured it out yet?"

Just as An Qingbai was about to answer, the four little ones somehow came over to watch the fun.

"I've learned it."

Zhuang Zhimeng burst out laughing.

"Haha, what are you little guys doing here?"

An Qingbai was so angry that he flicked each of the four little ones on the forehead.

"We asked you, and you just answered?"

Fatty and Nao Nao pounced on An Qingbai.

"Dad, we've learned it, but you definitely haven't, that's why you're like this."

"That's right, Dad, you definitely didn't learn it."

An Qingbai put his two sons aside.

"Then you all keep a close eye on it."

An Qingbai walked up to his wife and took her hand.

"Wife, I'm starting."

"Um."

The couple performed a waltz very well this time.

After they finished jumping, they found that the four little ones had also jumped up in pairs.

Zhuang Zhimeng quickly took the camera out of the warehouse.

I took some photos of the children.

"Hahaha, those guys are hilarious."

This photo must be kept so they can see it when they grow up.

"Haha, when they have partners, we'll show them to them."

The couple were chatting and laughing when Xiazi and Mengge came over carrying Yueyue.

"Haha, what are these little guys doing?"

"Haha, they're hilarious!"

Zhuang Zhimeng explained.

“I was teaching Aber to dance, and they all started learning.”

Jiang Yanxia smiled and handed the gift to Zhuang Zhimeng.

"This is a birthday gift from Meng Ge'er and me to you. Happy 23rd birthday, Zhi Meng."

Zhuang Zhimeng happily accepted it.

"Thanks, it's perfect timing for us to dance together and have lunch here."

"Okay, we practiced at home too."

Four adults and four children danced the waltz together.

Yueyue, who was with them, was also jumping around beside them.

Since there were no elders at home, they did as they pleased.

Xiazi and Mengge played until the afternoon before taking Yueyue away.

That evening, the two families gathered together for Zhuang Zhimeng's birthday banquet.

The food was specially ordered from a restaurant and brought back.

An Danxiao raised his glass.

Let's have a drink.

From now on, we'll get together for a meal every year on the children's birthdays.

Let's all continue to get along so happily.

Zhuang Xingzhou immediately echoed.

"Yes, we're getting together today on Ya Ya's birthday."

From now on, we'll get together whenever someone has a birthday.

We are one big family, a united and loving family. Cheers!

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.

The four little ones drank juice made by Zhuang Zhimeng.

The four little ones also wanted to clink glasses together.

The whole family went over and clinked glasses with theirs to accommodate them.

Zhuang Zhimeng washed the cups the little ones had made for her and used them directly.

The four little ones were overjoyed to see this.

It's so cute how it shakes its head and sways when it drinks juice.

Zhuang Xingzhou noticed and laughed.

"The four little ones know it's your birthday, and they keep asking to give you birthday presents."

So I took them to the Children's Palace.

They were all very serious when they were learning how to make cups.

I didn't get discouraged by failure; I kept going until I succeeded.
