When summer comes, it gets hotter day by day.

Fortunately, Xia Songlan is on summer vacation, so she doesn’t have to ride her bicycle to school all day, which is so tiring.

The second day of summer vacation was my grandfather’s 80th birthday.

He summoned his three sons and one daughter in advance and said that he would hold a grand ceremony this year.

On the birthday day, Xia Sumu and Zhou Sangning went with Ning Jingmo, Xia Songlan, Xia Chuanbai and the children.

There were so many people at home that day that there were three tables.

At the beginning of the year, Xia Jianguo gave birth to a son.

This made Ye Mei very happy.

There was a grand ceremony for his 100th birthday, and Xia Songlan also went. Ye Mei that day was the kindest Ye Mei she had ever seen, smiling from beginning to end.

Not only did he not instigate trouble, he also cared about her academic performance.

Ye Mei brought her grandson along to celebrate Grandpa’s 80th birthday.

Holding the little guy, he came close to his grandfather and said, "Dad, you will definitely live to be 100 years old. Look, your great-grandson is smiling at you."

Babies a few months old are the cutest and will laugh when they are teased.

Ye Mei held the child and teased him for a while, and the little guy started to grin and laugh.

Grandpa laughed happily when he saw it. "Good, good, this is a good sign. I must live well and try to live to be 100 years old.

Life is getting better and better now. I couldn’t eat meat once a year before, but now I can eat it every day.

I can’t get enough of such a good day.”

Grandma sitting nearby also said, "That's right, I used to like eating square pastries the most, but I thought there were only a few kinds of snacks.

Now there are so many cakes that I can’t even finish them all.”

Grandpa was annoyed that grandma interrupted him and scolded her with a frown, "You have no manners at all. I'm talking, why are you meddling in my conversation?"

Grandma kept her mouth shut.

Grandpa cleared his throat, "Hmm? Where was I just now?

Oh...eat meat, living conditions are better now. You all live better than me, but don't be proud, help each other.

Especially Sumu, I heard from your sister-in-law that you two earn more than the eldest and second sons.

Don't hide it all the time. There are only four of you brothers. The two brothers don't need your help, but your sister has been having a hard time. If you can help her, please do so."

Xia Sumu responded hurriedly, "Dad, don't worry. Little sister, if anything happens, tell her to come to me directly. I will definitely help if I can."

Grandpa nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Ning Jingmo and asked with concern: "Jingmo, how is your recovery?"

Ning Jingmo stood up quickly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I have recovered now."

"Sit down, sit down, we are a family, don't be so polite. It's good that you have recovered. You are a comrade in the People's Liberation Army and the pride of our entire Xia family.

You have done a lot of great things, and Grandpa can't say much. Just remember to pay attention to safety, your health is the capital of the revolution."

"Yes, I remember, Grandpa."

Grandpa looked at Zhou Guoqing again, "Guoqing! You are the first college student among our grandchildren. You set a good example. If it weren't for you, Songlan Chuanbai might not have been able to get into college.

Study hard and strive to contribute to the country in the future."

Zhou Guoqing responded: "Okay, Grandpa, I will study hard and serve the motherland."

Grandpa then waved to Xia Chuanbai: "Chuanbai, my good grandson, come and sit next to grandpa. If we talk about striving for honor, it is our Chuanbai who strives for honor.

In the future, our Xia family will rely on Sichuan cypress."

Everyone has long been accustomed to grandpa's comments, and no one makes any comment.

He spoke at length, and when it was almost half past twelve, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Let's eat. All the dishes are ready. Don't let them get cold."

Then everyone took their seats.

The men sat at one table, the women at another, and the children at another, sitting separately.

Xia Songlan and Zhou Sangning each brought a child and sat at the same table with Chen Xiaorui.

Chen Xiaorui originally wanted her mother-in-law Ye Mei to sit with her so that she could help her take care of the child.

Ye Mei sat at the table next to Xia Susen and her grandparents.

Xia Juanjuan was also sitting at Xia Songlan's table. She saw that everyone else had children, but she had been married for more than three years and still had no children. She felt a little sad.

Thinking of the child who died at birth, he felt even more upset. He just stared at the food in front of him and picked at it from time to time.

Seeing that Xia Juanjuan was only concerned with eating and didn't offer to help her, Chen Xiaorui said angrily, "Juanjuan, if you are full, help me hold the baby. I haven't eaten yet."

Xia Juanjuan glanced at her impatiently, "Who said I was full? Haven't I just started eating?

Other people can eat with their children, but you can’t? You can’t eat and you’re hungry.”

Chen Xiaorui raised her eyebrows and glared at her, "I just can't eat because I have a child. What's wrong with that? At least I still have a child.

Unlike some people, who can't keep their children, now they are just hens that can't lay eggs. No wonder they can't keep their men."

This sentence made Xia Juanjuan explode with anger, and she slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Who are you talking about? Who do you say is the hen that can't lay eggs?"

Chen Xiaorui wasn't afraid of her either. She stiffened her neck and said, "I'm talking about you. You're the one who's occupying the toilet without doing anything."

The people at the other two tables were eating happily, and when they heard their noise, they all looked over.

Ye Mei even walked over and scolded, "What are you arguing about? Grandpa is celebrating his birthday. What are you guys arguing about?"

Grandma also walked over and said, "You are such a tactless person. You are at your mother's house now, why are you still looking for trouble?

It's not easy for your sister-in-law to hold the baby, and you are still yelling at her."

Ye Mei was so angry at her grandmother's sudden scolding that she was about to overturn the table.

It was Ye Mei who reacted quickly and held her down, "Juanjuan, be obedient, stop making trouble and eat well."

"What are you eating? What's wrong? Am I bothering you? I live in my parents' house. I am bothering you. You are always rude to me."

Chen Xiaorui was relentless, "Bah! What parents' house? When we got married, we agreed that this would be Jianguo and I's house.

We let you stay here for the sake of the old man's face. How can a married girl live in her parents' home all day?

I don’t know, I thought her husband had died and no one wanted her.”

Xia Juanjuan's eyes turned red with anger, and she yelled, "Do you believe that if you say one more word, I will tear your mouth apart?"

Chen Xiaorui pinched her waist and said, "I scolded you, what's the matter? Do you think I'm afraid of you?

What a shameless thing. She already has a man but still goes out to hook up with older men. Don't think I have never seen that Wang Hongli.

I feel sick for you, how can you bear to say that?"

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help it any longer, and she got so angry that she slapped him.

Chen Xiaorui was not a coward and fought back immediately.

Fortunately, Ye Mei reacted quickly and took the child aside, otherwise the child would have been in danger.

Xia Songlan held Dabao in her arms and pulled Zhou Sangning along. Zhou Sanglin was still holding Xiaobao in his arms. The two of them quickly backed away from the table.

Ning Jingmo had now quickly walked to Xia Songlan's side and took Dabao from her arms.

He asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Xia Songlan shook her head.

Xia Chuanbai had also walked to Zhou Shangning, picked up Xiaobao, and then pulled Zhou Shangning back to another table.
