Chapter 112

Master Huo drew number three.

Huo Shun raised his sign tremblingly, "I'm number three!"

Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "No. 3's gift is a gift package of books."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fengli brought a thick stack of books to him. Seeing his bitter face, she took them and put them on his desk, holding back her smile, and said, "Young Master, are you so happy that you're silly?"

Huo Shun looked at the stack of books with a look of despair.

Huo Ze smiled and said, "Huo Shun, it seems that Madam knows that you haven't been working hard recently!"

Huo Shun rolled his eyes at him and said, "Humph, don't be so complacent, or you might end up in a worse situation later!"

As he said this, he looked at Mrs. Huo who was drawing a number. Seeing that the number she drew was four, which was Huo Ze's number, he shouted, "Huo Ze is number four!"

Luo Chaoyan smiled as he looked at her expectantly, "No. 4's gift is a bow and arrow!"

Huo Shun's face fell when he heard that. Seeing Huo Ze taking the bow and arrow excitedly, he could only sigh with envy. This guy's luck is too good!

Luo Chaoyan brought the lottery box to Huo Jin and motioned for him to draw.

Huo Jin nodded, then reached in and took out a sign. When he saw the words 'Thank you for participating' on the sign, his brows furrowed slightly.

Luo Chaoyan wanted to walk over and take a look out of curiosity, but he put it into his sleeve and said, "I won't read out my number plate."

Luo Chaoyan blinked. This was impossible. This game was purely for naughty children. There was no adult seat number in it, unless... It was rare to see him embarrassed. She couldn't help but want to laugh. She coughed lightly and said, "Okay!"

Huo An tilted his head and asked, "What's father's gift?"

Luo Chaoyan looked at Huo Jin, thought for a moment and said, "Your father's gift is... a handkerchief!"

Huo An smiled and said, "Did mother embroider it?" Then he became a little confused and asked, "Mom, can you do it?"

How come this little fat boy is talking more and more fluently now? Can't you just be a little fat boy quietly?

Seeing everyone looking at her, Luo Chaoyan laughed dryly and said, "Of course!" She couldn't tell the old lady and Master Huo that she couldn't do that, could she? What if the old lady asks her to study again?

Fengli and Shulan's lips twitched when they heard this. The young lady was talking nonsense without even opening her eyes! Thinking about the handkerchief that had just been embroidered in her room, there were only a few bamboo leaves embroidered on it when she came to the door, and the rest was white. At that time, she said with confidence that bamboo had a great meaning and represented the gentleman's demeanor.

In order to divert everyone's attention, she walked up to Huo Rui and said, "Today is your birthday. I'll let you draw once."

Huo Rui looked at her and said, "Shake the box!"

Luo Chaoyan shook the box as he requested, then handed it to him, smiling heartlessly, and said, "You are the birthday boy today, and you have no confidence in yourself!"

Huo Rui snorted and said, "I'm afraid you'll cheat. Also, if the cards you draw are the same, will the gifts be repeated?" This woman had clearly promised to give him a big gift, but who knew she would ask him to read a letter of repentance.

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think I would use the same trick over and over again?"

Huo Yu and others replied in unison: "Yes!"

Luo Chaoyan choked and to prove her innocence, she asked Fengli to bring her a gift covered with a red cloth.

"I can tell you very clearly that this is gift number one. As long as you can draw number one, this gift will be yours."

Huo Rui looked at the gift in Fengli's hand and saw that the place covered by the red cloth was a little bulging. Although he couldn't tell what it was, it was at least not a book.

"What's this?"

Luo Chaoyan kept it a secret and said, "It should be a gift you like!"

"Really?" Huo Rui asked suspiciously.

"You can also think that I'm lying." Luo Chaoyan said with a smile.

Huo Shun was rubbing his hands in anticipation and said, "Boss, why don't I help you draw the lottery? You know, I have always had good luck."

Huo Rui looked at him and refused directly, saying: "Forget it, I'll do it myself!" He didn't want the gift to be a stack of books.

He reached into the box, but his eyes were fixed on Luo Chaoyan, trying to see something unusual in her eyes, but saw that she was just smiling faintly. This made him even more suspicious.

When he took out the sign, Huo Shun and others crowded around him and asked, "Boss, what's the number?"

Huo Yu attacked and said, "It can't be that he missed!"

Huo Rui glared at him, then let go of his hand, only to see the words "Thank you for participating" written on it.

Huo Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "It really didn't work."

Huo Rui gritted his teeth and looked at Luo Chaoyan, saying, "What does this mean?"

Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Thank you for your participation. I hope you will have better luck next time."

Madam Huo glared at her unhappily and said, "You've already prepared everything. Today is Xiao Rui'er's birthday, so what's wrong with you giving it to him?"

Luo Chaoyan said seriously, "Grandma, this won't do. It will make Xiao Rui feel that it's too easy to get it, which is not good for his growth."

"Why not do this and see if other people can get it."

As she said this, she asked Huo Shun and others to draw once each.

I don’t know if number one was too difficult to draw, but the three of them didn’t manage to get it.

Luo Chaoyan looked regretful and said, "Oh, little Rui'er, it seems you have no chance of getting this gift!"

Huo An ran over and said, "I want to smoke too!"

He pulled Huo Rui's hand, said with a firm face: "Brother, I will help you!"

As he spoke, he reached out and took a sign. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, he first squatted down, fiddled with it in his hands, and then held up the sign.

Everyone saw that the card he was holding was really number one, and they couldn't help but smile and praise: "An An, you're lucky!"

Huo An straightened his chest, cupped his hands, and said with a bright smile, "Good luck!" Then he looked at Fengli and said, "Fengli, this is a gift from my brother!"

Pineapple brought it over with a smile and lifted the red cloth under their curious gaze.

I saw a very exquisite wooden gun placed on it.

"Is this a bow?" Huo Ze asked.

Huo Shun shook his head and said, "Not like that!"

Huo Yu touched his chin and said, "It's a bit like a crossbow."

Huo Rui picked up the wooden spear curiously and played with it for a while, then looked at Luo Chaoyan and asked, "What is this?"

Luo Chaoyan said: "Gun!"

"gun?"

Luo Chaoyan took the gun from his hand, took a round string and fastened it to the wooden gun, aimed at a place and shot it, saying: "This is from the foreigners outside the Great Wall."

"Fun!" Huo Ze said excitedly.

"This is simpler than bow and arrow!" Huo Shun agreed.

Huo Rui also looked excited, he liked this toy.

Huo Yu smiled flatteringly and said to Luo Chaoyan: "Madam, are there any toys that we haven't seen yet?"

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him in disdain and said, "No more!"

Mrs. Huo was watching from the side and said to Mrs. Huo: "It seems that Ah Yan is really popular with children!"

After the lucky draw, Luo Chaoyan was about to bring out the highlight of the night.

She clapped her hands.

Several maids went to various corners and each came out with a jar in their hands. At her signal, the gauze was lifted, and suddenly a head full of fireflies with bright flames slowly flew up.

"Wow!"

"It's a firefly!"

“So beautiful!”

Several children shouted excitedly.

Luo Chaoyan coughed lightly, looked at Huo Rui, and said sincerely: "Xiao Rui, today is your birthday. Mother hopes that you will find your own value in the future and become a man who stands tall and proud!"

Huo Rui looked at her, feeling a little sour for some reason. This was probably the most interesting birthday he had ever had. He stood up, bowed to her and said, "Thank you, mother!"

Mrs. Huo looked at the sky full of fluorescent lights, then looked at the smiling faces of the children, and said with a smile: "Ayan is really thoughtful!"

Huo An struggled to catch fireflies, but accidentally dropped the sign hidden in his arms.

When everyone looked over, they saw the number 2 clearly written on the sign!

Seeing this, he quickly squatted down and sat on the sign, grinning foolishly!

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him, as if she didn't see him changing the brand just now! When Pineapple was preparing the signs, he said that the number one was missing. I guess he was the one who hid it at that time.
