Chapter 8: Family Match
4 months later, on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve. Families began to liven up.
An Mili lay on the bed, thinking about how to get rid of tonight's dinner.
This dinner is held every 5 years by the four major families, An, Li and He, starting from the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve to ending on the 3rd day of the new year, and the purpose of holding this dinner is to strengthen the feelings of the four families.
At night, the sky is full of stars, and fireworks are constantly ringing out.
The top of the hall is made of a large expanse of translucent glass, which is intended to make it easier for everyone to enjoy the night sky.
The moonlight is falling lightly, the night sky is full of stars, and the hall of love is extremely noisy.
There are all kinds of entertainment facilities inside, such as tea rooms, piano rooms, badminton courts, etc., which can be used to relieve everyone's boredom after dinner.
The hall is heated throughout the whole process, and the whole hall is hot, and in it, it is enough to wear only one piece of clothing.
As a result, many women wear summer cheongsams and high-end skirts, all of which look as delicate as flowers.
On an extra-long rectangular table, sit according to seniority.
The older generation of the four major families sat at the beginning, followed by the fathers, and then the children.
An Mili deliberately chose to be the last, because she couldn't postpone it, so she had to choose to keep a low profile.
Listening to the sound of a group of children, An Xueji and two other little girls of the same age have been talking about Barbie, princess anime...... Seriously, this chat really doesn't work for her.
During the whole process, he didn't say a word, didn't look at anyone, and ate wildly.
It's just that...... Why did the little kid across from her keep staring at her, he hadn't looked away from the time she sat down to get food.
Twilight looked at her because she had been eating and had stopped eating.
From the moment she chose to sit across from her, he was curious.
Because the lower the position, the less likely it is to be noticed, after all, in a family, it is something that few people are willing to do. Of course he's a special case!
"You've eaten so much, aren't you full?" Twilight held her head with her right hand, leaning slightly and couldn't help but ask.
He looked at the women of the other three families, and almost each of them stopped chopsticks after a few bites.
"No" didn't raise his head, and reached over the chopsticks when he fancied the dish.
Feeling the alienation of the other party, Twilight raised her eyebrows, her eyes were deep, and she didn't care anymore, she also picked up a lobster with chopsticks and raised it high, "Will you peel the shell?"
An was stunned, and his tone was asking her to peel her shell. Joke. Isn't there a special maid who guards the shell to do it?
Frowning slightly, he raised his eyes to see the smile on the corner of Twilight's mouth, leaning over, lazy and slow.
She didn't know him well!
"No" decisively refused. "I ate it with the shell"
As he spoke, he picked up a crayfish with chopsticks and put it directly into his mouth.
"Kaz"
The sound of "Kaz" is so loud. It's delicious.
Listening to the sound of Kazkaz, the corners of Twilight's mouth twitched, and she glanced at her, seeing that she still looked normal.
Silent "......" Well, you won.
After the meal, the old people proposed to send their grandchildren out for a game, which was lively.
As soon as this proposal came out, many people said yes. A banquet without a game is really boring!
An Xuerong was the first person to take the initiative to participate in the competition and challenge He Xianxian, the daughter of the He family.
The contest was drawn by the Twilight family and was a poetry contest in which they recited poems about New Year's unity.
"Xian Xian, please first" An Xuerong smiled politely, showed her white teeth, stretched out her hand to signal, and immediately gained everyone's favor.
He Xianxian didn't have any scheming, thought about it, nodded and said okay.
"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old charm"
After all, He Xianxian is one of the daughters of the four major families, and she started studying early, and this poem is still easy to memorize.
As soon as the poem came out, everyone immediately applauded and said yes.
An Xuerong also smiled, after all, this is not difficult.
"Xue Rong, it's your turn" He Xianxian was praised by everyone, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"The day before yesterday, I read a poem, and I just recited it to you today," An Xuerong smiled and whispered.
"The rhythm is the same, and the shoulder rubbing hub is harmonious. There is no need to go to the eastern suburbs, spring is in thousands of households"
The sound is as clear as a bird, flowing like a spring, and it crosses the hearts of most people.
"Okay, not bad" Everyone applauded again, and couldn't help but look at this little girl more.
"The daughter of the An family is amazing!"
"Not bad, not bad"
The applause present was endless, He Xianxian's face turned red, and he pouted sullenly. She understood that these applause were not for her.
"Ahem, look! In the first game, it is said who wins and who loses, how unlucky. After all, at the beginning of the new year, everyone wants to have a good start, and we won't talk about winning or losing this game, how about it, everyone" Old Man He also guessed in his heart that his granddaughter lost.
Losing in the difficulty of the poem, as well as the sound of reading aloud, in order not to let his granddaughter lose ugly, he could only pull down his face and deliberately say this.
"Old He, just listen to you" The old man of the An family spoke at the right time.
Everyone understood Old Man He's intentions, and they didn't say much, but they all agreed.
An Xuerong also nodded, looking very unconcerned, "I also agree, no matter what, Xian Xian and I are the first to come out to challenge, and we have already won." ”
As soon as these words came out, Old Man An nodded with satisfaction, and the others were also shocked, at a young age, he knew the importance and the general situation.
An Xuerong also felt everyone's gaze, stepped aside, and became proud.
Twilight rubbed her chin and watched as she watched from the sidelines, revealing that she had been disdainful of the match the whole time.
There was a look in his eyes that only he had seen.
Somehow, something slipped through his heart, but it was too fast for him to catch.
Twilight was thoughtful and walked in front of everyone, and a childish voice sounded, "Grandpa, I want to participate in the competition too"
Old Man Twilight was surprised that his grandson would not take the initiative to participate in these competition points that would not be beneficial to him.
But seeing that he looked calm, it seemed that he really wanted to participate in the competition, and he was not here to make trouble, and his heart was slightly relieved. Smiled and asked, "Who do you want to challenge?"
When he heard Twilight's words, An Mili beat a drum in his heart, his right eye kept jumping, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, but when he turned around, he ......
"It's her" pointed with his hand, everyone looked at it, everyone's eyes were focused on An Mili, and as a last resort, An Mili turned back in embarrassment, and sparked in the eyes of Shang Twilight, but Twilight smiled at him.
When the old man saw that it was a girl, his light flashed, and this was a good call: "Oh, are you ready to fight that little girl?"
An Mi nodded impatiently, "Ready"
