"Stop chatting and take a seat," Yu Qingce said.
Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan brought several children with them.
Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli also came over.
"Quickly, Xiaoli is here, sit down and eat." It was already dark at six o'clock, but fortunately there were electric lights installed in the yard. The conditions of the troops in Fucheng were much better than those of other troops.
Everyone sat down together. Lu He and Xu Feiming sat together, their expressions towards each other quite ambiguous.
Lu He lowered her head shyly.
Yu Qingce noticed their actions and was extremely excited.
Before the meal, Yu Qingce raised his glass with everyone and drank alcohol. The girls who couldn't drink alcohol drank soda instead.
"Mom, can I raise my glass too?" Da Nian saw everyone raising their glasses and wanted to too.
Helpless, Shen Qiaoyue handed him a small cup filled with orange-flavored soda.
"Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday today. I'd like to propose a toast to everyone." Yu Qingce was a hearty person and downed a glass of wine in one gulp.
Others who could drink also drank.
After drinking, Li Qingming helped Xia Xiaoli sit down.
He peeled shrimp for Xia Xiaoli and poured her water, showing her meticulous care.
Shen Qiaoyue noticed that Li Qingming always chose the lightest foods for Xia Xiaoli.

In the family compound, Yu Qingce liked Xia Xiaoli the most; she was a rare and inspiring girl.
She is gentle and unassuming, but she has a lot of ideas when she does things.
I heard that he had injured his leg before, and was recognized as a model worker by the hospital last year.
“Aunt Yu, I am…” Xia Xiaoli paused shyly.
Li Qingming peeled the second shrimp and explained to Xia Xiaoli, "We went to the hospital for a check-up today. Xiaoli is pregnant. She doesn't look very well. The doctor said she just needs to take good care of herself."
"Pregnant?" Liu Xinlan's first question was, "Does that mean she can't go to Beijing to study?"
"Oh my, this is wonderful news!" Yu Qingce's eyes widened with envy. "Comrade Zhang Hehua is going to be a grandmother!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xu Feiming.
