This was the first time that relatives and friends met Xiao Yunni and her siblings and Xiaoxi.
Everyone gathered around to tease the child.
But little Yunni was not afraid of strangers at all and called out to people in a crisp voice.
But Grandpa Shen is so fond of it.
Even Grandma Shen, who has always favored boys over girls, rarely gave Xiao Yunni a good look.
He even secretly slipped a piece of candy to Xiao Yunni.
Ask her not to tell anyone.
It was only after Xiao Yunni told Lin Ran about this after they returned home that Lin Ran found out about it.
After everyone greeted each other, it was already late.
Uncle Shen began to arrange the birthday celebration.
Let the two elders, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen, sit in the main seats in the main hall.
Each younger generation took turns to kowtow and wish the birthday.
And today Grandpa Shen also spent a lot of money.
Red envelopes were prepared for every young person who kowtowed.
There is one dollar in each red envelope.
It was the first time for the children to receive so much money, and they were all very excited.
Of course, the excitement only lasted three seconds before it was confiscated.
In sharp contrast to these children who are about to cry are Xiao Yunni and her siblings and Xiaoxi.
The three of them were discussing going to the supply store to buy ice cream later.
Xiaodong and Xiaonan, who were standing by, were so greedy that their mouths were watering when they heard about ice cream.
But as older brothers, they are embarrassed to ask their younger siblings for food.
Yes, they were also among those whose red envelopes were unfortunately confiscated.
The two were struggling when Xiao Yunni came over.
"Big brother, second brother, we want to go buy some ice cream.
But we don’t know where the supply and marketing cooperative is. Can you take us there?
I can treat you to ice cream.”
"Really?"
Xiaodong and Xiaonan were so happy that they almost jumped up.
But he was immediately stopped by Xiao Yunni.
She raised a plump finger to her lips.
“Shhhhhhh…
Big brother, second brother, please keep your voices down.
Don't let my mother hear this.
Otherwise, mom would definitely not let us eat it."
Xiaonan hesitated immediately after hearing this.
"Ah? You bought it even though your aunt didn't let you?
What if my aunt finds out?"
"Can't we just go secretly?"
Xiao Yunni winked at the two of them.
“That’s our little secret.
Come on, big brother and second brother, let’s make a promise to each other to hang each other for a hundred years.
No one is allowed to tell this story.”
Xiaonan was still a little hesitant.
"Isn't this a bit bad?"
But Xiaodong had already reached out to make the pinky promise.
"Okay, we'll make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years!"
Little did they know that the conversation between the children was overheard by the adults next to them.
Of course, they didn't mean to eavesdrop on it.
It’s really that these kids don’t even know to be discreet or speak in a low voice when they whisper.
Lin Ran and the others were not far away, so it was hard not to hear it.
The adults looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles.
But they all tacitly pretended not to hear anything.
Let the children play by themselves.
Lin Ran didn't let Xiao Yunni eat ice cream because she was afraid that she would get diarrhea if she ate too much.
Children's stomachs are naturally weak.
But it’s okay to eat it occasionally.
It's rare to see so many children gathered together.
After everyone had wished the birthday, the feast officially began.
This time, the Shen family set up two large tables in the yard.
These dishes were bought by Shen Wenfang's brothers and sisters.
I also bought a new set of clothes for Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen.
Both of them wore it today.
After eating and drinking, everyone sat in the yard and chatted.
The younger ones gathered in Shen Jinzhi's room to talk.
Aunt Shen glanced at Lin Ran and the others, then asked Shen Wenfang.
"By the way, Third Sister, Ranran and his wife have graduated from college, right?
Has the work been assigned?
Which unit are you in?"
Lin Weiguo had just asked this last night, so Shen Wenfang told the truth:
“It’s divided.
Ranran is considered to have stayed in school.
Xiaoyan seems to have been assigned to some economic office."
"What?
What is the Economic Office?
I've never heard of it.
Isn’t your son-in-law from Beijing?
No connection at home?
After all, they graduated from Kyoto University.
How come I was assigned to such an unknown small unit?
Could it be that someone has tricked him?
Or is it because your grades in school are so bad that you can only be assigned to these unwanted places?"
Shen Wenfang felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, but because today was Grandpa Shen’s 70th birthday, she didn’t want to make things unpleasant, so she said a few perfunctory words.
"How can a unit in Beijing be considered a small one?
I guess we don’t understand these things, so we haven’t heard of them.
Anyway, I heard Xiaoyan say that he is quite satisfied with this assignment."
Aunt Shen, however, looked unconvinced.
“You believe this too.
Most likely your son-in-law said it on purpose to comfort you.
I’m also afraid of looking bad.”
“What’s so good about this?
Anyway, we just need to obey the country's arrangements.
No matter which unit you work for, as long as you work hard, you will always be able to succeed."
Seeing that Aunt Shen was getting more and more outrageous, Shen Wenfang's tone was already a little impatient.
But Aunt Shen didn't notice anything.
Still talking endlessly.
“How can it be the same?
Your son-in-law's admission to Peking University was in vain.
It would have been better if you had gone to college here.
Maybe he can even be assigned a decent job like my son Xiaosong."
Under normal circumstances, Shen Wenfang would definitely ask a few more questions about Xiaosong's assignment to show his concern when hearing this.
