Seeing her son like this, Lin Hongmei gritted her teeth in anger. Did he forget what she had just said to him at home?
Forget it, I'll deal with him properly when I get back later...
After the children blew out the candles, Si Yueyue took the bowls and spoons prepared beside her and started to share the cake with everyone.
Zeng Guoqiang took the cake and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently, then he spoke incoherently.
"Brother, you are right, this cake is really delicious!"
"Yeah, it's so soft. I like it very much. It's so sweet." Mu Lingyu nodded wildly, agreeing with his friend's words.
Several women also nodded and looked at Si Yueyue and said, "Yueyue, you are amazing. This food tastes delicious and sweet."
Even Zeng Zilong, who never eats sweets, agrees with everyone: "Sweet but not greasy..."

Lei Zhen returned home and looked at the two little ones who were excitedly discussing what gifts to bring for their grandparents. He felt reluctant to interrupt them.
After Si Yueyue came out from the kitchen after finishing her work, she looked at the silent man sitting on the sofa.
She asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Lei Zhen looked at Si Yueyue who looked worried, and said slowly: "I can't go back with you guys to celebrate the New Year this year. I'm worried about you going back alone."
Si Yueyue was stunned when she heard this. She had been able to go back home in recent years, and she almost forgot about the nature of Lei Zhen's actions.
"In the past few years, I have adjusted my vacation with everyone. This year, everyone should go back, but I have to stay in the team."
"It doesn't matter. If you can't come back, then don't come back. You always came back in previous years. It doesn't matter if you don't come back in the next one or two years. We will spend the New Year with you in the team next year."
"But... An An and Le Le have been looking forward to it for so long." Lei Zhen looked at his two sons who were still chattering about them.
"I'll tell them, don't worry."
After Si Yueyue finished speaking, she waved to the two brothers.
"An An Le Le, come here, mommy is talking to you."
"Mom, are you going to buy gifts?" Lele asked his mother excitedly.
"LeLe wants to buy candies for his brother and sister~"
"An An bought books for his brother and sister~"
"Well... OK, mommy and daddy will take An An Le Le to buy it later."
"Okay! We also need to buy some for grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt..." The little ones counted them one by one on their fingers.
"Okay, no problem, everyone buy it."
Si Yueyue finally spoke after the two little guys finally stopped chattering.
"Mom, what I want to say now is that it's not about buying gifts."
"Mom wants to tell An'an and Lele that we will stay in the team for the New Year and not go back to our hometown."
An An was a little puzzled and asked: "Why don't you go home?"
"Because dad has to be on duty in the team this year, he can't go home."
"Why is dad on duty~"
"Everyone takes turns to be on duty. Before, Dad would arrange a time with other uncles to accompany us back."
"This year, other uncles, aunts, and children also have to go home, so only dad is in the team."
"We are not on duty~" continued Gao Mingqi An An.
Si Yueyue looked at the clever little guy and spoke.
"We don't have to be on duty, but Dad is on duty. If Mom takes An An Le Le back home, then Dad will be the only one left here."
"An An Le Le, think about it. We are not here, and Dad is alone every day. He comes home dark all the time. Isn't this pitiful?"
After their mother finished speaking, the two little ones immediately imagined Lei Zhen’s lonely back.
The house was empty, just like the last time they ran home, there was no one at home, no parents...
"Daddy is so pitiful~"
"Hmm~ It's scary to be alone~"
"So, An An Le Le, what do you think, should we stay here and spend the New Year with Dad?"
The two little guys lowered their heads and thought for a while: "Accompany Daddy~"
