Zhang Lisheng was fascinated by what he was listening to, when the door of the living room not far behind him was pushed open, and the head of the Laven family walked in with two huge brown paper bags in their arms, surrounded by children who had also returned from shopping.

"Lili, frozen food in the supermarket is on sale, and I can't help but buy 80 pounds of beef and a lot of eggs and fruit at one time.

Haven't you always wanted to try to learn how to make new dishes to adjust the flavors, and now is the time to show off your skills. As soon as he entered the house, Su Luo smiled and said loudly.

The traditional rice-style family party is actually very simple, if the guests are minors, it is good to have some baked cookies, drinks, and if you add some exquisite homemade pastries, it will be considered perfect;

If the guests are adults, they will only prepare some drinks in addition to their drinks, but because Lily is a good cook, the parties at the Laven family tend to be much richer.

In peacetime, this kind of behavior that embodies the owner's unusual sincerity is only a little more effort, but in the era of food scarcity, it becomes a heavy burden, and the pretentious behavior of the Laven parents is obviously to pay for most of the food for the eldest daughter's party, and is afraid of stabbing the child's self-esteem.

A 'rough' police officer shows off his delicate love for his daughter, who has long been an adult and has entered society, which is particularly touching.

The girl's sensitivity and carefulness made Ruili suddenly aware of the deep fatherly love hidden behind the bland words, Ruili's body stiffened, and an inexplicable emotion quickly fermented in her heart, so that she couldn't suppress it for a while, and actually threw herself into her father's arms, as if returning to her childhood, and muttered: "Oh." Father... Thank you, thank you, I love you..."

Su Luo opened his arms in surprise, raised two bags of food, and looked at the tall girl who was clutching his chest, only to realize what had happened after a few seconds.

His eyes were in a trance, as if he had traveled through time and space, and a cute girl of two or three years old with staggering steps appeared in his mind, hugging his trouser tube, raising her fat little face and looking up. Babbling and shouting. "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..."

My heart was filled with love in an instant. Eyes don't feel moist. But the resolute old police officer said in his mouth: "They are already assistant producers of NBC." How can you still be naïve like a child.

Don't you see that I'm holding a paper bag in my hand, let it go, it's afternoon. We still have a lot of party preparation to do. ”

Hearing her father's words, Ruili, who calmed down, let go of her hand embarrassedly, but at this time, even Laddie, who loved to joke the most, did not tease her sister, but frowned and stopped the tears that were about to fall.

This kind of overflowing family affection that flows out unintentionally at a certain moment seems to be unremarkable, but in fact it is the most touching emotion in the world, which can touch the softest part of everyone's heart, of course, this feeling has nothing to do with the gods.

Seeing the Laven family walking into the kitchen with a warm smile on each other, his mother also showed a touching smile on her face, Zhang Lisheng was just glad to have a lot of helpers, and after washing the lettuce by himself, he didn't have to deal with the pile of onions stained with mud.

With the help of a competent hostess who is proficient in cooking and dessert making, three or four hours later, near evening, preparations for a sumptuous family party are finally completed.

When the last plate of cut fruit was placed on the long borrowed square table in the living room with a white tablecloth, Lily let out a long sigh of relief, clapped her hands and said, "All right, children, everything is ready, I wish you a pleasant evening." ”

"As for us," said Su Luo, who was standing beside his wife, in a loud voice, "we will leave the house immediately and go to the restaurant outside to enjoy a candlelit dinner and watch a romantic night movie, and it is estimated that we will not be back until after one o'clock in the morning."

But—" Looking around, looking at the excited expressions of the children, he straightened his face and pointed his finger up and warned, "Don't think that then you can do whatever you want.

Alcohol can be drunk but never excessive, especially Laddy, and don't forget that you're a cop now, not a debauched central defender for college football teams.

And Ruili, I know that tonight is your moment, but you must not get carried away..."

"Oh, my dear, the children are in their twenties, and if it weren't for the high cost of the New Washington A's apartment, they would have moved out of the house on their own.

If you are so strict, I am afraid that tomorrow they will risk a deficit at the end of the month and leave this house, rest assured, they are all sensible and good children, and they will never do what they should not do. Lili on the side stopped her lover's overly harsh words at the right time and said softly.

No matter what kind of country or civilization, it is a trend for parents to rely on the simplest and most effective way to discipline their children by singing red face and white face.

Hearing his wife's words, Su Luo nodded tacitly, showed an expression to the children I trust you, don't live up to this trust, and turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Lili followed behind her lover and also planned to go back to the bedroom to change clothes, but inadvertently saw Zhang Lisheng's indifferent expression that was not the same as that of the children of the Raven family around her, and suddenly stood still.

After thinking about it, she walked up to the young man, stretched out her hand and said, "Baby, give me your room keys, car keys, mobile phone, and wallet." ”

"What?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and asked with wide eyes and confusion.

"Give me your room keys, car keys, cell phone and wallet, baby. Lily repeated.

Looking at his mother's serious expression, although he was puzzled, Zhang Lisheng still took out these four things from his pocket and handed them over, "What do you want them for, Mom?"

"I'm going to lock them all in your room so you can't go there tonight and just stay home and party.

You need to have more contact with your peers, and even great scientists like Albert Einstein and the father of monopolies like Rockefeller have a few good friends in their lives.

Your life shouldn't be all about work and research. Lili took the keys, wallet and mobile phone from her son's hand, and said seriously.

"I didn't plan to leave tonight, Mom," said the young man with a shrug, "but the kind of life you criticized just now that only works and studies make me happy. ”

"But it's not healthy, baby, both mentally and physically. The mother shook her head at her son and turned to climb the stairs.

"Li Sheng, it seems that Aunt Lili really wants you to find a girlfriend and settle down in 'New Washington A', tonight is a good opportunity.

There are several beautiful girls in the NBC News Department, all of whom have promised to come to tonight's party, and you can pick and choose by then, dear brother..."Looking at Lili's disappearing back, Ruili smiled half jokingly, half seriously, and suddenly heard the doorbell ringing behind her, 'Ding Dong, Ding Dong...'.

"Cathy and Jones must be here so early. The girl jumped up in surprise, rushed to the door and opened it.

The two people outside the door who are about 170 centimeters tall, but one is a healthy wheat color, the other is a white chocolate color, the young girl with light makeup on her face, and wearing a sexy little dress The moment she saw Ruili, she opened her arms and shouted, "Congratulations again on becoming an assistant producer Dear Ruili." He hugged the eldest daughter of the Laven family.

"Bo Bo Bo " Ruili leaned against the cheeks of the two girls, let out a loud kiss sound, and also shouted back, "Welcome to my promotion party, dear sister." ”

Then looking at a young white man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a circle of cyan stubble on his chin, and a light coffee-colored casual suit on his body, he smiled and said, "You are also welcome to my party, Pierre, come into the house." ”

"It should be me thank you for your invitation Ruili, this is a gift for you, I hope you like it. The white man first handed the enthusiastic party host a red wine with a blue ribbon in his hand, not to mention the age of the cellar.

Later, the girls also hurriedly sent gifts to their friends to celebrate their promotions, two realistic paintings with good wishes, sowing wheat fields in spring and harvesting in summer.

"Oh, Pierre, I was worried that I didn't have enough wine to prepare, but your gift was just in time.

Cathy, Jones, these two landscapes are so beautiful, I will hang on the bedside and look at them every day to sleep. Ruili held the gift that was not precious, but represented the heart of her friend, and said gratefully and led her colleague into the living room.

When she came to the sofa, the girl first swiped her fingers over her brother and the youngest twin spare tire siblings in the family, "My brother Laddie, brother, sister Harry and Jill, you all know each other," and then pointed to Michelle and Zhang Lisheng and emphatically introduced: "These are my sister Michellavan and younger brother Zhang Lisheng, who just came to 'New Washington A' not long ago." ”

Families in the United States often adopt Asian orphans, and the hostess of the Laven family is of Chinese descent, so the friends did not show any surprise at the fact that one of the Ruili siblings had an Asian face with a completely different surname.

Cathy, the beautiful woman with wheat complexion, also said with a little sad envy: "You are so lucky Ruili that so many family members have escaped to the Noah's world.

It's just me and my mom in our family...

Oh, sorry for saying such a disappointing thing before the party, Jones and I came to you early to see if you needed any help, and we happened to run into Pierre on the way, and if there was anything else to do, just say, don't look at me in a dress, I can do anything. ”

"Trust me, now that it's all over again, Cathy, it's going to be okay. Ruili hugged her friend who was smiling hard, comforted her heartily and said with a smile: "There is nothing to prepare, just wait for the party to start now."

Oh, by the way, our family has to go upstairs to change clothes, there are biscuits, fruit and juice on the table, you can use whatever you want, I'll come down soon. (To be continued......)
