"I won't tell you, lest I tarnish your grandpa's image in your eyes. Okay, okay, wipe the table, serve the dishes, and prepare to eat."
Su's mother rarely showed a shy expression.
"Do I need grandpa to tell me this? Grandpa must be the best. If grandma tells him to go east, he won't dare go west. If grandma tells him to go up to the roof and remove the tiles, he won't dare go down to the river to fish. Wow! Wow! I'm so envious~"
San Ya, who loved to watch the fun and make trouble, screamed and cried loudly, and with that naughty tone, she received a loving lesson.
"Are you going to eat or not? If not, get out of here. You're talking nonsense. I told you to stop reading novels. Look at what's in your head now."
On one side, Su's mother and San Ya were bickering non-stop, while on the other side, Tang Ci was preparing dinner.
A round wooden table was filled to the brim.
Braised pork elbow, radish and old hen soup, sweet and sour spare ribs, braised pork, taro pork, steamed fish, cabbage and tofu, shredded cabbage, and a pot of white rice.
"Let's eat."
"Children wash their hands and eat."
Tang Ci asked everyone to take a seat.
"Grandpa, would you like to have a drink?" Tang Ci took out two small wine glasses and a bottle of Maotai that he had treasured for a long time.
Hei Ye's eyes lit up, "Come on, come on."
The children are worried about his health and no longer let him drink much.
I only drank it to taste it, and it not only aroused my craving for alcohol, but I also missed the taste for the next few days and couldn't sleep.
Now is such a good opportunity, I can’t let it go no matter what.
"That's all we have for fun. Pour some more."
The wine glass was small and the wine poured in was not enough for him to drink in one gulp.
"I can do it myself."
After saying that, Hei Ye grabbed the wine bottle and filled it up for himself.
While unscrewing the bottle cap, he didn't forget to take a peek at the children's reactions.
Tang Ci also looked at Tang Meilan in panic, as if asking: Should I stop her?
Tang Meilan shook her head, turned around and poured herself a glass.
She cleared her throat and said, "First of all, I'm so happy that we can sit together again, eat, drink and chat. As a family, it should be so lively and cheerful. Then, congratulations to our Qianshan, Qianfan, Qianya, Daya, Erya, and Sanya. Oh, no, Erya is not here. Congratulations on your new identities - college students. Aunt Meilan, I am so proud. When I walked out, my back was so straight." Tang Meilan pointed to her straight arms and said, "Just like this, straight and upright."
"I brag to everyone I meet. Do you know who are the top 20 science scorers in our province this year? Do you know who is the runner-up in liberal arts? Six of them are from my family. If I shout at the door now, the college students are coming, and soon this yard will be packed with people."
Tang Meilan's face was full of pride.
"Zimei has been influenced by you and is studying much harder than before. Before, after studying for an hour or two, she felt she had learned too much and would leave some time for more study every day. Now, she doesn't need to be urged; she immerses herself in her books whenever she has a free moment.
Her father even built a study for her. Hey, it's really nice to have a study. It creates a more lively atmosphere. Her father and I can go there from time to time to read books. We don't learn much, but it's enough. As for Zijun..."
Tang Zijun stared with wide eyes, waiting for Tang Meilan's praise.
"Forget it, let's not talk about those irrelevant things."
Tang Meilan waved her hand, her eyes revealing an unconcealable look of disgust.
"Mom, I won't tell you why. Although my academic performance is not very good, I am not the worst. I am still the big brother in the class. Can you give me some face?" Tang Zijun frowned.
He secretly made up his mind to study hard this semester.
At the end of the semester, he will use his brilliant achievements to give those who look down on his grades a good beating.
"Okay, okay, big brother, open the soda for your brothers and sisters."
Tang Meilan knew what her son was thinking and dismissed him with just a few words.
Tang Zijun, having received the task, happily opened sodas for everyone. "Tang Xiaoer is here to serve you. Sir, do you need anything else?"
San Ya patted the stool and said, "Waiter, sit down and have dinner with this fairy."
Tang Zijun clasped his hands together in front of his chest, with his right fist clenched inside and his left outside, and bowed forty-five degrees. "Zha~"
Tang Zimei covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Brother, only eunuchs respond like this."
Tang Zijun pointed in the direction of the bedroom and said, "Please leave gracefully."
Tang Zimei wasn't afraid of him and called out sweetly in the direction of Tang Ci and Tang Meilan, "Dad, Mom, Brother..."
Tang Zijun immediately clasped his hands together and apologized repeatedly, "Sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and let me go."
The whole process was so smooth and he admitted his mistakes so fluently that it was obvious that he was a "practiced master".
Tang Meilan didn't think there was anything wrong with raising her son this way. She asked Tang Zimei, "Brother has apologized. Are you willing to forgive him?"
"Hmph, considering that Grandma, Grandpa Hei, and my brothers and sisters are here, I will reluctantly forgive him."
"Okay, okay, let's get back to business. This meal tonight is for you brothers and sisters. Come on, kids, Aunt Meilan is here to wish you academic progress and a bright future. Remember to come back more often when you have time. Aunt Meilan's door is always open to you."
"Cheers, cheers."
The wine glasses and glass bottles collided in the air, making crisp sounds and adding a lively atmosphere to the night before departure.
"Pfft, pfft, so spicy."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw San Ya and Zi Mei frowning and sticking out their tongues.
"Grandpa Hei, this wine is so spicy, how come you like to drink it?" Tang Zimei asked.
