Socializing is the adults' job, and children are only responsible for eating, drinking and having fun. Peanut sat between his aunt and sister, being fed by both sides, playing around with his big brother, and having a lot of fun.
Shen Anning and Cao Jingheng followed several elders in the family to recognize people. They all came to celebrate Peanut's birthday. As parents, they had to express their gratitude.
Since everyone didn't have to work on the Lantern Festival, they had plenty of time to eat, drink and chat, especially the two tables at the police station. Normally, when they were working at the police station, they didn't dare to joke with Cao Jingheng, but today they took this opportunity to get their Deputy Director Cao drunk.
Peanut's first birthday party lasted until around three in the afternoon before all the guests left. After the little guy had his fill and slept twice in the arms of his two uncles, he felt much more energetic.
When only the Cao, Shen, and Qin families were left in the hall, the men had all drunk a lot of wine. Grandpa Cao arranged six cars. Shen Anning held her son and sat in the back seat with Cao Jingheng. She looked at the direction the car was going, glanced at the man next to her who still had clear eyes, and asked: "Grandpa, do you have any plans? Where are we going?"
Cao Jingheng was also confused and shook his head. "I don't know either. What big thing did grandpa and grandma do without telling us?"
Looking at his son nestled in his wife's arms, who was truly twelve months old, a chubby little boy weighing nearly thirty kilograms, Cao Jingheng stretched out his hand, "Come here, let daddy hold you."
Cao Siheng buried his head in his mother's chest and said, "No, no, Daddy, it stinks."
After drinking so much at noon, it's good that he didn't get drunk no matter how good his alcohol tolerance is, but the smell of alcohol is real. Shen An Ning patted the little guy's shoulder and said, "Dad smells of alcohol, not stinky. Dad washed his face and rinsed his mouth when he went out just now, right, little peanut, you can't say that to Dad, do you know?"
Cao Jingheng didn't have such patience. He reached out and pinched his son into his arms, and deliberately blew on the little peanut, "Come here, you dare to despise your father, huh? Daddy will let you smell it well today."
The beard he shaved in the morning had stubble again. Cao Jingheng maliciously blew on his son and kissed the little guy's face and neck hard, which stimulated the little guy to scream, "Mommy, help, baby, ahhh, hahaha, Daddy, you are bad!" Unfortunately, he was small, and even though he was a little fat boy with great strength, he was no match for his father.
After being disturbed, little Cao Siheng lay on his father's lap, looking at the roof of the car, feeling hopeless!
Looking at the little guy's expression and empty eyes, Shen An Ning tried hard not to burst out laughing, "Look, why are you kissing your own son so hard? Look, Peanut's face and neck are a little red. Don't you know why your stubble is so hard?"
Cao Jingheng gave his wife a look, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Is your stubble hard or not? Baby, don't you know it tonight?"
Shen Anning's ears were itchy from the hot air. She pushed away the man who was very close to her, took out the toner from her bag, and carefully applied it on Xiaohuasheng's face and neck.
Stimulated by the cool feeling, little Cao Siheng looked at his mother with eyes full of accusations, "Mom, Dad, you are bad, hit me, hit me!" As he spoke, the little guy's eyes became sharp, and he waved his little hands and took the opportunity to pat his father's exposed arms twice.
Just by listening to the sound, you can feel how hard the little guy is trying!
But the little guy was still too young to know that force is mutual. Although he avenged his father by slapping him, his own little hand was also in pain. Soon, he blew on his hand, tears filling his eyes, "Mom, it hurts."
Cao Jingheng received Shen Anning's gaze, looked at his silly son, and hugged the child in his arms, "Are you silly? Does it hurt when you hit someone? Will you hit them again in the future? Come on, Daddy Huhu, Daddy apologizes to the baby. It was Daddy's fault just now. Little Peanut, please forgive Daddy, okay?"
The little brother who didn't have a kindergarten diploma was still easy to coax. Soon he was lying in his father's arms, hugging his father's neck and acting coquettishly.
The car drove all the way to the location of the third ring road and the fourth ring road, which was divided in later generations, before slowing down. Shen An Ning looked out the window. In recent years, due to housing problems, real estate development has also become a very profitable and important industry in Beijing. Looking at the high-rise buildings built on both sides of the road, the prices are not that expensive now, but in later generations, especially in the years before the Olympics, the housing prices have been rising rapidly!
The car kept driving, and six cars drove into a large iron gate. Looking at the place with a lake, a garden, a lawn, and even Ma Peng, Shen Anning was guessing that this was the new place opened by his grandfather, when Grandpa Cao came over.
Holding his great-grandson from his grandson's arms, Shen Anning watched his grandfather squat down to tidy up the little guy's clothes, and then put the little guy on the grass, "Do you like Peanut? This is a birthday gift prepared for you by your great-grandparents. From now on, our Peanut can come over and play often!"
The little guy had no idea how valuable this gift was. He walked on the grass with his short legs. He had just learned to walk and didn't walk very fast, but listening to his son's screams, Shen An Ning knew how happy the little guy was.
After a closer look, Ana Shen discovered that the layout here was very similar to that of a manor with a bit of European style, with three independent but close two-story buildings, a pond, an orchard, and a garden. It covered a large area and was surrounded by a wall.
Grandpa Cao pointed to the large bungalow in the southeast corner and said, "That's the small swimming pool. Peanut loves playing in the water, but we're worried about taking him to a public swimming pool. A 200-square-meter pool is just enough for him to play in until he's a teenager."
Shen Zixi, Erbao, and several children of the Qin family shouted when they heard that it was a swimming pool. Grandma Cao was also very happy to see the children happy. "Children, the wife has prepared swimming clothes for you inside. Girls and boys have separate changing rooms. Go and have fun."
"And there's a stable over there with six ponies, some short and some tall. You can pick your own, whether you want to go swimming or riding."
As soon as Grandma Cao finished speaking, the little ones jumped up again. It was so cool!
Cao Jingheng started to feel jealous the moment he heard that this was the one-year-old gift from his grandfather to his son. Looking at his son's smile, he thought that the plan for a second child should be put on the agenda, and it would be best if it was the daughter he had always dreamed of!
