Another week passed, and on November 3rd (September 17th in the lunar calendar), it was the one-year-old birthday of Jun Mochu and his two siblings.
On that day, everyone put down their work and gathered at Jun's house to celebrate the first birthday of the four little babies.
Originally, the old man wanted to hold a big banquet to invite more people to witness the important day of his great-grandson and great-granddaughter, but he was strongly stopped by Jun Jinmo and Shen Yao.
Because they have been so high-profile and eye-catching this year, with good things coming to them wave after wave, this has made many people jealous and gnashing their teeth, and they have long wanted to find fault with them and cause trouble for them.
Therefore, taking various factors into consideration, the couple unanimously decided to have a gathering with their family and their relatives and friends when their four babies turn one year old.
As for those who have a general relationship with their family or are important politicians in the capital, there is no need for them to get involved.
The Jun family was extremely lively throughout the day. Whether it was the elders, the young people, or the dozen or so children, they all had bright smiles on their faces.
Everyone was very happy, the atmosphere was joyful, and there was constant joyful laughter. The courtyard as soon as you entered the yard was hung with balloons of appropriate colors and colorful flowers. In the middle were several dining tables, and the tables were filled with a variety of buffets.
Dozens of delicious foods with rich aroma instantly made everyone's stomach growl uncontrollably.
"Mother Liu's craftsmanship is really good. It's even better than that of Chef Yu of the Imperial Hotel. Look at these flowers and animals. Each one is carved vividly, just like the real thing. Oh, I feel like I can't bear to eat when I see them."
Gao Shujuan stared at the food on the table, her mouth watering. Especially the aroma, it tempted her all the time. She swallowed quickly and turned her head to discuss with her two sisters-in-law.
Wen Xiuyue nodded immediately and said, "Mm mmm, this dish is so delicious, it makes me want to pick up a knife and fork and start eating right now."
Although she was responding to her sister-in-law's words, her eyes were fixed on the food in front of her. The more she looked at it, the more she couldn't help it, and she had an impulse to eat a lot.
To be honest, she has eaten quite a few delicious foods in the past forty years, and there are many famous hotels in the capital, and she has eaten food from each of them countless times.
I used to think that the dishes made by those chefs tasted absolutely amazing, making people want to eat them again and again and never forget them.
But it was not until she tried Liu Ma's cooking that Wen Xiuyue suddenly understood what kind of food was truly delicious.
It was also at that time that she discovered that the taste of the food she had eaten before was not even a little bit inferior to Liu Ma's cooking.
Tang Fengying swallowed hard, and said with a greedy look in her eyes, "Who else is coming? If everyone is here, let's get started. I really can't stand it anymore. This smell is always tempting me, as if telling me to eat it quickly."
"Second aunt, third aunt, if you want to eat, just go get your cutlery. The plates and knives and forks are all in the cabinet next to you. Same for everyone, don't be polite, just take whatever you want. Today's buffet is specially prepared by Aunt Liu, there is plenty of food, you can eat as much as you want, there will definitely be enough."
Mo Yao and his wife, who had just returned from the train station to pick up Qian Hongfei, walked into the yard and heard what the two aunts and mother said. She looked over and saw that Gao Shujuan and the other two had greedy looks in their eyes. Shen Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly spoke to the three elders with a smile.
When Zheng Yaozu heard Shen Yao's voice, he immediately looked at her with shining eyes, "My dear granddaughter, no one will come now, right? If everyone comes, then we can really start, right?"
"Yes, it's confirmed that there is no more. Everyone is here." Shen Yao smiled and nodded, "Everyone, use cutlery to eat, otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste so good."
After Shen Yao finished speaking, Qian Hongfei immediately said with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Zheng, and everyone present, I am so sorry! I came too late and delayed everyone's meal time!"
When Zheng Yaozu heard what the young man said, he immediately waved his hands cheerfully and said in a friendly manner, "Well, what do you have to be sorry about? We were just attracted by these delicacies and our stomachs were full. It has nothing to do with you.
Besides, you are a friend of Yatou and Jin Mo. We all know that you have a lot of responsibilities in Huacheng. It is already very good that you can come specially to celebrate the birthdays of four children. How can we blame you?"
After he finished speaking, he raised his voice and said to everyone, "Okay, stop standing there and start eating. After eating, we can draw lots for the four little guys."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in joy, and then everyone quickly ran to the cutlery cupboard to get plates and knives and forks.
To be honest, they have long been tempted by these foods and wanted to eat them secretly. So, now that they can eat them, what is there to wait for?
No one can resist the attraction of delicious food. Therefore, everyone forgets what they are carrying and enjoys the delicious food in front of them.
After lunch, everyone divided into two groups, one group was responsible for cleaning up the dishes, and the other group was responsible for cleaning the yard. After everything was cleaned up, Jun Jinmo went to the living room and took out a red blanket and spread it in the clean courtyard.
Zheng Yaozu was the first to take action. As soon as his grandson-in-law spread the blanket, he took out a jade seal from his pocket and placed it on it, then spoke to several old friends with a smile.
"Come on, Old Man Song, Old Man Tang, each of you put one small object up here, and see who my four great-grandchildren will catch."
Seeing this, the old men didn't hesitate and put down a medal representing their position one after another, wanting to see which of the four cute babies would catch them.
When the others saw this, they all took action, each taking out a small item they had prepared in advance. After a short while, they had filled the large blanket.
There are all kinds of things on it, including medals of honor, jade seals, guns, sabers, abacus, pens, ink, books, money, jewelry, etc. In short, there are many kinds of things.
Looking at that scene, Shen Yao couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking, with so many things, are you sure her four babies won't be dazzled when they grab them?
"Have you put all the things away? If so, let the four siblings come over and grab them and see what they like." Zheng Yaozu said happily, "Yaoyao, Jinmo, bring Mochu and the others over."
When the couple heard the grandfather's call, they smiled and nodded, then each of them walked forward, holding the two babies, and placed the four siblings in front of the blanket.
Shen Yao squatted down, stroked the heads of the four Mo Chu siblings, and said with a very gentle smile, "Baby, do you see these items in front? Go quickly, if you see the one you like, just go and grab it!"
