On the day of the birthday party, the family also celebrated the fact that their youngest daughter Xiaofang won the top spot in science, and set up ten tables of wine.
It is true that we are not so ostentatious in normal times. Although everyone's living standards are better now, we can only just get enough to eat and wear.
But being the top scorer in science is a rare event that only happens once in many years.
When relatives and friends heard that the Fang family had produced a top scholar, they all came to join in the fun.
In the end, there weren’t even enough seats at ten tables.
After all, nowadays, families have several children in their lifetime, and a whole family can fill up a large round table.
The Fang family was also happy. Fang Huaimin prepared a lot of candies and chocolates for the children.
Peng Mengling also prepared a number of newspapers containing articles contributed by Fang Fang for the older children to read.
The whole family is having a great time.
Fang Hongjian finally got his family to agree to let Fang Shumin come back, but all the limelight was stolen by Fang Fang.
"Mom, today is our birthday, so we should celebrate it the same way we usually do. Why is it so busy like a vegetable market?"
Peng Mengling had long been accustomed to her son's constant dislike for Xiaofang. She simply thought it was because Xiaofang had returned and taken the attention that should have belonged to them, her brother. She dismissed it as just normal sibling jealousy.
"Old Four, it's not good to have a lively birthday this year. Go out and talk to your uncles."
Peng Mengling is very happy now and obviously can't think too much.
Fang Fang was wearing a floral dress, and even without makeup, she still looked pretty.
If she were to walk down the street, no one would think she was married and the biological mother of these three eight-month-old children.
These three children can now babble and follow Fang Fang in speaking among the elders.
There is no elder who doesn’t like such a soft and sticky child. They all love it very much!
The three babies received a lot of red envelopes.
One of the aunts asked, "Xiaofang, you are going to school in September, so you won't be able to breastfeed, right?
Otherwise, I'll use milk powder.
My daughter-in-law has no milk, and now the child is doing well with the foreign milk powder.
White and strong."
Fang Fang replied, "It's okay, I'll be back sooner or later.
I asked the school teacher, and they said there are two hours of time at noon every day.
I can ride my motorcycle back and forth in less than half an hour. I'll still make it in time."
After hearing what Xiaofang said, the aunt felt that Xiaofang was a good person and said, "Look, the daughter of the Fang family is really capable!
She can take exams, write articles, and take good care of her children."
"Yes, and I can ride a motorcycle!"
Fang Fang accidentally became someone else's child.
When Peng Mengling heard this, she burst into laughter.
At this time, an aunt asked, "Who is Xiaofang's husband? Why didn't I see him today? I heard he's from a rural area in the south?"
If you have a daughter who is too outstanding, some people will not like her and will have to find trouble with her.
Another aunt said, "Indeed, I've never seen Xiaofang's boyfriend."
Peng Mengling said, "Xiaofang's husband is a regimental commander in the army. He has a heavy workload, so he came here when the army gave him family leave.
They haven't had their wedding yet, so we'll hold one later and treat everyone to a feast."
Fang Fang looked at Peng Mengling gratefully. She didn't expect that her own mother would want to hold a wedding for her.
Her marriage with Liu Gang had a bad start, but she never expected that one day their life would become more and more stable.
One of the aunts nearby who knew the business immediately praised, “Captain, that’s a very high level.
I was wondering why your Xiaofang is so blessed. Xiaofang brings good luck to her husband.
If the regiment commander retires and comes back to settle down with his wife, he can live in Beicheng.
Even if you transfer to the county town to the deputy county level, it is incomparable to going to the north city.
If it were in North City, there would at least be a district level."
Everyone present was stunned.
Could it be possible that he could become a district chief in the future? Then wouldn't Xiaofang be the future district chief's wife?
The aunts gathered together and talked about Xiaofang and her mysterious military officer husband.
Who just said that they looked down on people from rural areas in the south?
The aunt who was gossiping just now was secretly regretting why she had to talk so much.
Their eyes were full of envy, and they praised Xiaofang for her good fortune and good partner.
"Xiaofang is such a lucky girl! She found a good partner too!" an aunt said with emotion.
"That's right! This young couple, one a science champion and the other a regimental-level cadre, are going to have an amazing life in the future!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Peng Mengling couldn't stop smiling. She has now fully recovered.
She also understood why her husband did not forcibly separate the couple when she was unconscious.
She heard from her husband that at first he wanted Xiaofang to get a divorce certificate directly.
When the family heard that Xiaofang had been forced to marry Liu Gang, a village bully known for his brute strength, they were furious.
At first he didn't agree with them being together.
Later, he learned from Lao Jin that Liu Gang was actually a down-to-earth, steady and reliable person.
That's why Fang Huaimin asked someone to bring Xiaofang back to test their relationship.
Now, just by seeing at least one thick letter sent from the army to Wang Fang every week, Fang Huaimin knew that Liu Gang must love Xiaofang.
When Peng Mengling heard that the retired military officer could hold such a high position, she was even happier for her daughter.
Fang Fang heard the aunts' discussion and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Whenever she is happy, someone will be unhappy.
Fang Shumin was left alone in a corner, staring intently at the group of aunts. Xiaofang would be in trouble soon.
Everyone sat down to eat. Fang Fang's three children were still young, so they naturally sat at the same table with their family.
On her left is Fang Hongbin and on her right is Fang Shumin.
She and Fang Shumin had never had any direct conflict, and on the surface they were still on good terms.
As soon as she took the first sip of tea, she felt something was wrong.
She is a pharmaceutical chemist and has a natural sensitivity to drugs.
Then, according to the plot of her gold medal screenwriter, she sorted it out herself, and it was either Fang Hongjian or Fang Shumin.
No one wanted her to be unhappy more than these two.
While everyone was toasting, she calmly swapped her cup with Fang Shumin's.
Fang Shumin was dressed appropriately today, in a clean pink dress and light makeup. The four birthday girls toasted their brothers and parents.
Peng Mengling also noticed her at this time, "Shumin, you have lost weight. Eat more at school."
After all, she is the daughter I raised, so there is still some degree of kinship between us.
Fang Shumin's eyes moistened when she heard her adoptive mother's concern, and her voice choked with sobs. "Thank you, Mom, for your concern."
These few short sentences made everyone unconsciously feel a little sympathy for her. She had indeed lost some weight.
