Peng Zhe took everyone from the oldest to the youngest into consideration, including the Shen family, the Qin family, and the Cao family. Shen Yipei packed up the things her youngest son bought for her. She was originally feeling that her son, who had been working outside on his own, had grown up. Then she turned around and looked at Peng Zhe, who was sitting and eating at the dinner table in an awkward manner. It was really better to think that out of sight, out of mind!
Peanut had to wait until his mother had finished looking at the gifts and eating before he was able to see the toys and new clothes that belonged to him.
Because of the gift given by Peng Zhe, Cao Siheng had a good impression of this second cousin whom he had only seen in a photo. When they met for the first time, he took the initiative to let him hug him and even gave him a kiss.
Holding his little nephew, Peng Zhe loved him very much. When the little guy was a few months old, he looked exactly like Cao Jingheng. Now that he is older, if you look closely, you can still find some shadows of his sister. He kissed the little guy's chubby face hard and said, "Oh, you are not shy at all. Not bad."
Shen Anning stood by and said, “Little Peanut, what should I say to my uncle?”
"Well, thank you uncle, Xifanxifan."
On the way home, little Cao Siheng, who was sitting in the back seat, was visibly happy. He kept turning the transforming toy that Peng Zhe bought for him in his hands and making whooshing sounds with his mouth.
"Little Peanut, are the toys fun?"
"It's fun, Mom." Cao Siheng was a very perceptive child. Seeing his mother's eyes fixed on the toy in his hand, he thought for a moment and handed the toy to her, "Mom, play."
"Oh, baby is so thoughtful, thank you my dear son."
Maybe it's true that every man has a special feeling for cars. Today's cars are not as beautiful as those in later generations. Every day when Cao Jingheng comes home from get off work, the little guy would fiddle with the steering wheel in his father's arms. So the transforming car that Peng Zhe bought this time has undoubtedly become the little guy's new favorite, and he even holds it in his hands when he sleeps.
At the end of January, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, is Peanut’s first birthday. At that time, there was no banquet for guests for twelve days before the full moon, but this time it must be a formal one.
Grandpa Cao originally wanted to run the business at home, but a friend of his from his youth, who is now an overseas Chinese, came back and opened a Holiday Inn in Beijing.
The nine-story hotel, although not in a great location, was decorated to a very high standard. When Cao Jingheng carried the little one into the lobby, Peanut was immediately captivated by the luxurious and unique decoration. "Oh, Dad, Dad."
"Oh, what's wrong? It looks good, doesn't it?" The walls of Cao Jingheng's hall are covered with wall tiles, which looks bright. No wonder the little guy likes it.
There are two banquet halls on the second floor. The Cao family booked the largest one. The first great-grandson's birthday must be a grand celebration because the men in the Shen family have special identities. Except for the retired Grandpa Shen, the others who work in the army did not come. So the table specially prepared for the Shen family was attended by Grandpa Shen, Shen Anyu and Peng Zhe, three men, and a group of ladies. They discouraged many people who wanted to establish relationships with the Shen family.
Grandpa Cao is an old fox in the business world. After he drank a glass of wine and said a few words, the smart people present knew that although today's banquet was also related to various parties, the top priority was still the little great-grandson of the Cao family.
The round table in the middle was filled with items for the little one's first birthday celebration. There were really too many relatives in the family, and if everyone prepared the same thing, there would be about 20 or 30 items. It was the first time that Shen An Ning saw so many... well, special things. Not only the stethoscope, abacus, and the four treasures of the study, but also chocolates and various snacks. These were definitely put there by Shen Erbao.
It was not very convenient for Old Cheng and several senior brothers and sisters to come. After all, if they showed up together, the one-year-old party would probably turn into a consultation center in seconds. So it was Grandma Chen and Fang Yuan and the others who came.
When he was carried to the table, little Cao Siheng was a little surprised. He held his father's fingers tightly. When he looked around the table and saw that everyone around him was familiar with him, the little guy relaxed a lot.
Walking on the ground feels different from walking on the table. Shen Anning watched her son stumble a few steps and then sit down again. She was touched by the cuteness of Peanut's actions. "Baby, Peanut, look at the table to see if there is anything you like. Can you take your favorite thing?"
Little Peanut didn't understand why he could only take one. There were many things he liked, so it definitely wouldn't work to take only one.
He had no interest in pens, ink, paper, and inkstones. Cao Siheng just glanced at them, then crawled over and pushed away a few things he didn't like with disdain. Looking at his uncle at the table, he pushed the things into Shen Anyu's hands and said, "Uncle, give them to your uncle."
Shen Anyu, who was a little moved, was about to say something when he saw the little guy pushing a few more things to Peng Zhe. He was so angry that he reached out and patted the little guy's butt twice. He was really moved in vain.
The little guy knew everyone standing by the table. Based on the principle of equal treatment, from the wives to the brothers and sisters, everyone had something that Xiaohuasheng pushed over to them. Shen Anning observed it and found that it might be because of the education given by their family members. Xiaohuasheng treated Shen Anxuan and Shen Zixi particularly well and was even willing to give them food.
After working for a long time, crawling on the floor with both hands and feet, I was almost exhausted. Finally, the things left on the round plate in the middle of the round table were all the things I liked and was interested in. I sat down steadily among the pile of things I liked, holding a small wooden gun in one hand, hooking abacus beads with my fingers, and holding delicious food in my arms, "Mom, share it. The rest are all for my treasures."
The few people who understood the meaning of the little guy's words burst into laughter. Shen Anning held the stethoscope her son had just given her in her hand, and smiled crookedly on Cao Jingheng's shoulder. This seemed to be the ultimate goal.
The relatives and friends who were standing on tiptoe or on chairs watching the scene couldn't help laughing. "Oh my, the little guy is so smart, very clever, just like his parents."
"I was wondering, I was just wondering how he crawled around. Now I understand."
Everyone else was praising it, but Cao Jingheng had a sour face. The smallest thing on the table was a copper coin, and now it was in his hand. Humph! Although he knew it was a Five Emperors Coin, the little guy didn't know. He deliberately picked for a long time and finally chose the smallest one among the things he didn't like.
Grandpa Cao was obviously surprised by his great-grandson's action. The eldest grandson of the third generation would have to shoulder the responsibilities of the Cao family like his father in the future. It is said that a child's future can be seen at the age of three. Although his great-grandson was only one year old, in his eyes, he would be an excellent talent in the future.
Many people who came to the first birthday party of Cao's great-grandson were friends of Grandpa Cao in the business world, as well as business partners of the Qin family. They were a large group of wealthy people. Naturally, the first birthday gifts they gave were very generous. Shen Anning could accept toys and clothes, but there were also many who gave gold bars...
Just as Shen Anning was hesitating whether to take the gold bars from her son and return them, Grandma Cao comforted her: "It's okay, just keep them. Your grandfather and I have given these things away many times. The people who came today are trustworthy friends. They are all kind-hearted. They will return them if they come often in the future."
Hearing grandma say this, Shen Anning calmed down. After the reform, there are so many families with an annual income of ten thousand yuan, so it is normal for the gift to be so expensive.
