Hearing her childish voice, Shen Jianlin's heart softened immediately. He reached out and pulled Fubao's little hand, and continued, "Dad, Mom, I asked the foreman for an advance of this month's salary, saying that he would hold a full-month banquet for my daughter. That's what I was planning to do. Do you... have any objections?"
"A full-month banquet?" Old Madam Shen immediately became interested. "I was just about to tell you this! Our Shen family finally has a little girl, so of course we have to have a banquet, and we have to do it well! Jianlin, just take out your salary this month and hold a full-month banquet for our daughter."
Lin Xiujuan said with some embarrassment: "Mom, if you want to hold it, just do it simply... It's not easy for Jianlin to make money. Didn't he hold simple full-month banquets for his four children before?"
"That won't work!" Old Mrs. Shen sternly refused, "This is our Shen family's only daughter, so the full moon banquet must be more grand, not casual!"
The boys had no objection at all, and were even a little excited. They were eager to have a grand ceremony so that they could have meat to eat and no longer have to eat dry sweet potatoes, potatoes and wild vegetables every day. It seemed that they had to cling to their sister's thighs!
"Xiujuan, I specially asked the construction team for an advance on my wages so that I can hold a full-month banquet for our daughter. You don't have to worry about it. You can still earn more money, but you can't neglect our daughter." Shen Jianlin said seriously, holding Fubao's little hand and making faces at her to tease her.
Fubao giggled.
Dad is such a fool. Doesn't he know that he ruins his image when he makes faces? However, she has to give him this face and make him happy.
Sure enough, when Shen Jianlin saw Fubao smile, his heart melted and he was so happy that it seemed as if all his hard work had disappeared.
Lin Xiujuan also laughed. It seems that Fubao is really a blessed girl. The whole family dotes on her so much.
The full moon banquet was decided and soon spread throughout the village. Almost everyone found it incredible.
Is there something wrong with the brains of these Shen family members? They are holding a full-month banquet for a little girl and want to make it more grand than those for the boys. This is really crazy!
She's just a girl, is it necessary?
The village is not big, with only dozens of households. These rumors will naturally reach the ears of the Shen family. Old Mrs. Shen snorted coldly and did not change her idea of holding a full moon banquet for Fubao.
Why bother with those gossipers? Fubao is not their child anyway. They should just love and pamper their own child. Who needs their understanding?
Those superficial, feudal and uneducated people don't understand how happy their family is to have a girl.
…
The weather was nice that day, the sun wasn't too strong, and it was the perfect day to go to the market.
Old Mrs. Shen took the wages given by Shen Jianlin and planned to go to the market in town to buy some meat later. She would definitely have to have meat dishes for the full moon banquet, otherwise it would be too shabby. She also had to hire one or two good cooks to help cook the big pot of rice and stir-fry.
When I was about to ask Shen Jianlin to go out together, I didn't expect two uninvited guests to come.
A young and beautiful woman in her twenties led a three or four-year-old boy to the outside of the Shen family's yard, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
Old Madam Shen came out and looked, and asked in surprise: "Isn't this the daughter-in-law of the Huo family? Why are you here?"
