Sitting down, Hu Xiangnan looked around and suddenly asked, "Man'er, why didn't you invite your brothers and sisters?"
There were indeed two people missing from the table: Hu Maner's brother Hu Guangzong and sister Hu Lianer.
Logically speaking, even if Hu Maner and they have the same father but different mother, the brother and sister should be invited to the banquet.
After all, they are blood relatives. No matter how big the hatred is, you still have to treat them when encountering such a major event in life.
It turned out that the people invited were relatives from Hu Maner's mother's side.
It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it. Hu Xiangnan of the Hu family has uncles and brothers. Even if you don't want to invite Hu Guangzong and others, you should invite Hu Xiangnan's older brothers and younger brothers.
The uncles on the paternal side are more worthy of attending Lin Zhigao’s first birthday party than the uncles and aunts on the maternal side.
Hu Maner paused holding the bowl, and said with a forced smile: "Dad, do you want some food? I'll serve you some."
Hu Xiangnan slammed the table and stood up, veins popping out of his neck. "How can you be so uneducated, kid? What do you mean by 'do you want food?'"
Those who beg for food are beggars. This daughter is making a fuss. Is she treating him like a beggar?
Hu Maner was about to continue to refute when she was stopped by her biological mother Wang Chunyan.
Wang Chunyan winked at her daughter and said with a smile, "Man'er is stupid for three years after pregnancy. What are you doing, Old Hu? Sit down properly at the banquet."
The stagnant atmosphere was easily relieved by a few words.
After hearing this explanation, Hu Xiangnan felt that he had gained face in front of his in-laws and sat down with satisfaction.
What he was thinking was that no matter what, he was still Hu Maner's biological father. If he could tame his daughter with a scolding, wouldn't his in-laws admire him?
My daughter needs to be disciplined. She's such a money-losing girl, yet she's even disobeying me.
Hu Xiangnan felt that he was showing off his power, and he enjoyed the food brought by Wang Chunyan like a landlord.
Hu Maner was so angry that she was quickly coaxed into submission by Lin Chao.
He has a very correct outlook on life. He believes that his wife is meant to be spoiled. Raising children is tiring enough, so how could he let his wife be upset?
After bringing her impatient daughter back to the table for dinner, Wang Chunyan was the first to toast her in-laws to apologize.
The words were also nice: "My daughter Man'er is outspoken, and after giving birth to Zhigao, she has become more straightforward. I hope everyone can tolerate her."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, winning both face and substance.
Her approach of considering the overall situation is what really impressed the Lin family.
Hu Xiangnan is one thing, but he only knows how to belittle his daughter in front of her husband's family. He is really unworthy of being a father.
Put yourself in their shoes. Which daughter would want to be criticized by her own father at her first birthday party?
If you want to show your prowess, you can't choose this time. Your in-laws are still here. Is this how you teach your children in front of the hall?
If Wang Chunyan had not confirmed that Hu Maner was Hu Xiangnan's child, one would really doubt how a bad bamboo could produce good bamboo shoots.
It is also possible that the daughter takes after her mother and selectively eliminates her father's genes.
Hu Xiangnan was still eating, completely unaware that everyone at the table was looking at him with contempt.
Fortunately, he may have shown off enough power, so nothing unexpected happened next.
Lin Zhigao’s first birthday party went on as normal, with the family gathering together for a lively meal.
After the meal, we gave him various gifts to celebrate.
The little guy was kicking his wobbly little legs on the red cloth spread on the ground, holding his favorite gift tightly and unable to let go.
He seemed to know that today was his good day. He played with various toys and smiled, and didn't cry at all the time.
Wang Chunyan smiled and praised her grandson: "You are so brave. You will definitely have a bright future."
Some children cry when they see a lot of people around. People like Lin Zhigao are indeed brave.
Lin Zhigao moved his little head and turned around to look at his grandmother touching his head.
He grinned, revealing his four teeth, and tremblingly handed the toy slingshot in his hand to his grandmother.
Wang Chunyan was so moved by what she saw that she didn't accept the gift but hugged him and kissed him.
The more she looked at the child born by her daughter, the more he looked like her daughter when she was a child. She loved him so much.
In a blink of an eye, her daughter has given birth to a baby, and most of her life has passed. It seems that in the blink of an eye she has grown from a young girl to a middle-aged woman.
Wang Chunyan held the child in her arms and patted his back gently, recalling the past in her mind.
Suddenly, Lin Zhigao's body stiffened and he burst into tears, so loud that it could have lifted the roof off his head.
Wang Chunyan was so frightened that she quickly came back to reality and checked the condition of the child in her arms.
Lin Zhigao is very well behaved and easy to take care of, and he hardly cries.
When he turned around, he saw that the toy slingshot that was in Lin Zhigao's hand was now in Hu Xiangnan's hand.
How come this guy even steals children’s toys!
Wang Chunyan really didn't say anything nice to him. Taking into account that he was still at Lin's house, she scolded him in a low voice: "What are you doing? Return it to Zhigao quickly!"
Hu Xiangnan played with the slingshot and thought it was of very good quality.
He tested the elasticity and found it was quite strong. "This isn't suitable for a grandson to play with. He's only that old. Let's just take it home and let Yaozu play with it."
Don't get me wrong, this Yaozu is not Hu Xiangnan's youngest son, but Hu Xiangnan's eldest grandson.
Hu Xiangnan always thought that he would have at least two sons in his life.
He named his eldest son Hu Guangzong, hoping that Wang Chunyan would give him another son, who would be named Yaozu.
If there are more sons, they will achieve great things, establish careers, govern the country, and help the people. There is no need to worry about not having good names.
Who knew that Wang Chunyan's gestation was not good and she gave birth to Hu Maner and then nothing happened.
Hu Xiangnan could only hope that his grandchildren would inherit these good names, so his eldest grandson was named Hu Yaozu.
As for my daughter? Whatever, she's just a girl, so what can she be called?
