"Dr. Qian, Grandma Li, Dr. Wang! Happy, happy! Please come and take a seat!"

The three of them exchanged a smile, and Dr. Wang laughed even more, "Hahaha, Xiao He, thanks to you, we can even have the base chief help us wash the dishes, hahahahaha."

Dr. Wang's hearty laughter echoed in the room. Xiao Hua sat down on the sofa without thinking and turned on the TV to play cartoons.

Dr. Qian, sitting on the mahjong machine, remarked, "It feels like Chinese New Year."

Li Chunhua chimed in, "Yes, it's been a long time since it's been this lively. The last time was when I was at home."

At this point, the three elderly people suddenly fell silent, and the sound of Xiaohua's cartoons echoed in the room.

"Hey, let's not think about these unhappy things anymore, let's play mahjong, let's play mahjong!" Xia He said, breaking the dull atmosphere.

“That’s right, let’s play mahjong! Watch me beat you into bankruptcy!” Li Chunhua said happily.

"Great! The person who wins can stick a sticker on the other person's face!" Xia He said excitedly.

Dr. Qian retorted without backing down, "Fine, I've never lost at mahjong!"

A round of mahjong quickly passed. Xia He had three mahjong tiles stuck to her face, Dr. Wang had two, while Dr. Qian and Li Chunhua's faces remained clean.

At this moment, Xiao Lin finished tidying up and sat down next to Xia He. "Come and call me to play mahjong."

Xia He felt Xiao Lin's body temperature against her cheek, and her cheeks flushed.

"I'll teach you, I'll teach you, but can you stay away from me? Everyone's watching," Xia He said in a low voice.

"Okay," Xiao Lin replied. Looking at his expression, Xia He felt that Xiao Lin was very obedient.

"Why play the two of bamboo?" Xiao Lin asked.

Xia He, playing mahjong, said dismissively, "Just watch and see, you'll naturally get the hang of it."

"Okay." Xiao Lin wasn't angry and just watched quietly from the side.

After looking around several times, Xia He's face was covered with notes, and Dr. Wang wasn't much better off. In contrast, Dr. Qian and Li Chunhua only had a few notes on their faces.

The two men looked at Xia He and Dr. Wang and let out merciless laughter.

Xiao Lin said, "Let me try. I think I already know how."

Xia He was skeptical. "Really?" Nevertheless, she got up and gave her seat to Xiao Lin.
