According to tradition, Friday night is the time for the Teng family's family gathering, but this weekend's dinner adds another meaning in addition to the family gathering.

Because tomorrow is Yiyi's birthday, Mr. Teng originally planned to hold a grand birthday banquet for Yiyi, so as to introduce her to everyone as Teng's family, but after Teng Yu's opposition and Yiyi's careful refusal, Mr. Teng changed Yiyi's birthday banquet to a family gathering of Teng's family.

In the summer in the city, just looking at those reinforced concrete, my heart adds a lot of heat.

Teng Yu drove in front of him one by one, and Teng Can also drove closely behind, and finally went up the mountain at sunset and rushed to the old man's recuperation villa.

As the sun sets, the sky is red, and you can clearly feel the coolness in the air as soon as you get off the car.

Glancing at the snow-covered mountains in the distance, and the pine forests that were black in the green, they couldn't help but stand in the courtyard and look around.

Teng Yu and Teng Can came back from parking the car, and what they saw was the curious appearance of Yiyi tiptoeing and looking around.

"Climb the mountain tomorrow, do you want to go?"

Teng Can funnily flicked his forehead, and when she covered her forehead and glared at Teng Can to express her dissatisfaction, Teng Yu grabbed her shoulders and led her into the villa.

"Come on in, don't keep everyone waiting. ”

really let Teng Yu be right, the three of them were really the last to arrive.

Because of the special ingredients for dinner, Mr. Teng specially invited the chef who is good at game in the sanatorium to take charge of the cooking. Therefore, when Yiyi, Teng Yu, and Teng Can entered the house, Teng's mother was sitting in the living room with Teng Jie chatting, while Mr. Teng and Teng's father were locked in the study as if they were discussing business.

Seeing the three of them entering the house, Teng's mother smiled enthusiastically and beckoned them to come and sit down.

Teng's mother pulled them one by one, looked at the three people with different personalities in front of her, because she hadn't seen them for a long time, she looked at them aggrievedly and said that she really raised her son for nothing.

Although the grievances on Teng's mother's face were a little suspicious of acting, her words were also true, because it was not easy to get the busy people of the Teng family together at the same time.

On weekdays, Teng's mother naturally accompanies Teng's father to live in a villa in the compound of the military region; Teng Jie basically lives in Kyoto because he wants to chase his wife, and occasionally goes back to W City to visit relatives or fly to country M to deal with cases; Teng Yu's residence is not fixed, Teng Can now opens his own studio, and he only goes home to visit his parents when he is not busy.

Although Teng's mother is glad that her sons can be on their own outside, now that the children have grown up and have their own careers to do, the joy of family reunion is missing. Therefore, she can only barely comfort herself by saying that she is still young, and she still has to work in the court, and it is not yet time to enjoy the joy of family.

Tonight, taking advantage of the opportunity of Mr. Teng's order, Teng's family finally gathered together again, and Teng's mother naturally seized the opportunity to ask her sons, ask about life, work, and girlfriend······

One by one, Teng's mother sat beside her by the hand, listening to her say that her daughter was well-behaved and caring, and watching her turn the three brothers from a flattering face to a forced smile and change the topic with each other's eyes.

"Teng Yu, follow me into the study. ”

I don't know when, Teng's father walked out of the study, and after saying a few words to a few people with a pleasant face, he called Teng Yu into the study with a smile.

Half an hour later, the birthday party began, and one by one from the study, Mr. Teng, who was full of red face and smiling, came out and went to the restaurant with everyone to take a seat.

Because the sanatorium is in the mountains, and the family gathers so much, so what Mr. Teng has prepared for them today is all the wild meat produced in the mountains.

The main dish in the banquet is a whole fish feast made of various fish produced in the small reservoir in the mountains, with five kinds of bracken freshly picked from the mountain, as well as vegetarian fried wild mushrooms, wild fungus, and wild celery fried meat.

Before the meal, Mr. Teng, the head of the family, naturally served the cup first. The aged wine in everyone's hands is the private collection of Mr. Teng, and before it is served, Teng Can personally knocks off the mud seal and pours it for everyone, and even everyone who does not drink alcohol on weekdays has a glass.

During the banquet, there is a table of laughter, or gossip, and it is very harmonious.

After the meal, after putting away the dishes on the table, I don't know who turned off the lights, Teng Yu held out a birthday cake with candles in the dark.

One by one, he made a wish in the birthday song and then blew out the candles and shared the birthday cake with everyone.

At this point in the birthday party, everyone moved to the living room and took out the gifts they had prepared and handed them to Yiyi.

Looking at the large and small gift boxes with exquisite packaging on the coffee table, at the request of everyone, the gifts were opened one by one.

What Mr. Teng gave to Yiyi was a cursive script framed by his own handwriting, and the words "God rewards diligence" also represent his ardent expectations for Yiyi.

Teng's father and Teng's mother gave them a beautiful diamond necklace set with oval pink diamonds one by one.

One by one, at Teng Can's request, the next thing is to open the gift he gave first.

After unpacking the complicated packaging, she looked at the miniature garden model in the gift box one by one, and saw Teng Can take out the pavilion in the garden and dismantle and put it on, explaining to her the subtleties of this set of Suzhou garden models made of ancient mortise and tenon technology.

Earlier, in Teng Can's apartment, I had discussed this mortise and tenon technology with him one by one, and now such a whimsical and ingenious gift was really sent to my heart, and I hugged him one by one without hesitation and shouted like it.

With such a surprise, one by one opened Teng Jie's gift with great interest, looking at a thin photo, everyone looked at Teng Jie curiously, waiting for his explanation.

"I heard that Yiyi likes to listen to music, so I ordered a gramophone in country M, and Xinya also helped pick out a hundred films, and the things were put in the apartment, I hope you like it. ”

One by one, I received a surprise again, but I didn't expect this gift to be picked by Song Xinya, and immediately thanked Teng Jie happily.

"Thank you for the gift from my brother and sister-in-law!"

Hearing that Song Xinya was called sister-in-law without hesitation, Teng Jie nodded with a smile on his face, which naturally attracted everyone's laughter.

Yiyi was about to pick up the only unopened gift box on the table, Teng Yu covered his lips and coughed and said:

"See for yourself. ”

But everyone looked at his hidden appearance, Teng Can first made a fuss, and he must open them one by one to take a look at them now, everyone is troubled by curiosity, and they are happy to see it wait to open this last gift one by one.

So, in everyone's urging and their own expectations, the gift box was slowly opened.

Burst......

"This ······"

Accompanied by Teng Can, who was sitting next to him covering his mouth and laughing, he looked at Teng Yu with a stiff face in the expressions of everyone crying and laughing together.

"Second brother, ······ This chili pepper water······ What does that mean······ ？”
