Farmer's daughter Xue Linglong has space
Chapter 154 Dinner Party
Linglong and Xu Tingshan have been extremely busy lately. The days have passed by so quickly that they haven't seen their five children, who have already started their own families and careers, for a long time.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly. Linglong was busy in the kitchen when she suddenly turned to Xu Tingshan and said, "Tingshan, should we call all the children back to have a get-together?" Xu Tingshan put down the newspaper in his hand, his eyes showing a trace of fatigue and expectation, and replied, "It's time to get together. Also, call our two old friends, Sun Yao and Li Zhenye, and have a good chat."
Linglong called the children and they all agreed to it.
The day of the dinner soon arrived, and the children returned with their partners and children, making the house lively. Sun Yao and Li Zhenye also arrived as scheduled, and the old friends were particularly cordial when they met.
Everyone sat around the dining table, laughing and talking. However, in this seemingly harmonious and joyful atmosphere, there was something unusual. It turned out that the eldest son's business had encountered big troubles recently and the funds were not flowing, but he had been hiding it from everyone; the second daughter and her son-in-law had a rift in their relationship, but she was just forcing a smile; the youngest son was under great pressure at work and was already a little exhausted physically and mentally.
Just as everyone was enjoying three rounds of drinks and the atmosphere was in full swing, the little granddaughter's cry broke the peace. Everyone then realized that every small family has its own troubles and worries.
Linglong and Xu Tingshan looked at the children with heartache. The old couple looked at each other, and Xu Tingshan slowly stood up and said, "Don't be afraid, children. As a family, there is nothing we can't overcome."
At this moment, Sun Yao slapped his thigh and said loudly: "I have a good idea, maybe it can help!" It turned out that Sun Yao knew a big businessman who could solve the financial problem of his eldest son. Li Zhenye was not to be outdone and said he had a way to help his second daughter repair her relationship with her husband.
This dinner eventually turned into a gathering full of hope and strength due to unexpected turns and warm mutual assistance. The family hugged each other tightly, believing that they could go through the future together, no matter what the weather.
Xu Yang looked at his father Xu Tingshan expectantly, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "Dad, we haven't played basketball together for a long time. Please spend more time with us in the future." Erbao and Sanbao also nodded, their faces full of desire.
Xu Tingshan put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at the children with a smile, "Okay, but I want to see if your ball skills have improved."
The weekend soon arrived, and the family came to the court. Xu Yang confidently served first, and Xu Tingshan handled it easily. After a few rounds, Xu Yang was exhausted and panting, but he didn't score a single goal. Erbao and Sanbao stamped their feet anxiously.
"Don't be impatient, kids, let's take it slow." Xu Tingshan encouraged everyone.
However, halfway through the competition, the sky suddenly became overcast and it was about to rain heavily. Everyone was about to pack up and go home, but Xu Tingshan stopped them and said, "Are you backing down because of this little difficulty? Let's continue the competition!"
Just as everyone was sweating in the rain, an accident happened. Xu Yang accidentally slipped and sprained his foot. Everyone panicked immediately, and Xu Tingshan carried Xu Yang on his back and ran to the hospital without saying a word.
After this accident, the children realized how precious their father’s company is, and Xu Tingshan also cherished every moment with the children even more.
Xu Tingshan looked at the dusty basketball with a feeling in his heart. Once upon a time, his yard was always filled with the laughter of children playing basketball.
At that time, the children were still young. The first thing they did after school every day was to pick up a basketball and run, jump, and shoot in the yard. Xu Tingshan watched from the side and occasionally joined them. It was such a wonderful time.
However, as the children grew up, they each had their own lives and responsibilities. They were busy with work and love, and the basketball time they once had was gone forever.
Now, the children are married and have their own families. Xu Tingshan has neglected to communicate and accompany his children because of his busy work.
Until one day, Xu Tingshan accidentally saw the photos of the children playing ball when they were young, and a strong sense of loss surged in his heart. He decided not to let being busy be an excuse, and to have a good chat with the children and recapture those warm times.
He asked the children to come home on the weekend, and when they got together again, they were a little strange and awkward at first. But as Xu Tingshan opened up and recalled the past times of playing ball, the children's eyes gradually brightened.
When everyone was chatting happily, Xu Tingshan suddenly took out a brand new basketball. The children were stunned at first, then smiled at each other, as if they were back in their childhood. They came to the yard and played basketball, and the laughter echoed in this familiar place again.
However, during the game, Xu Tingshan suddenly felt dizzy, his eyes went dark, and he fell down. The children panicked and rushed him to the hospital.
After examination, Xu Tingshan was found to be fine, but was just overworked. At that moment, the children realized that they could no longer let their father be alone and could no longer let time slip away.
Since then, although the sound of basketball in the yard is no longer as frequent as before, the warmth and companionship of the family have never been absent.
Linglong stood aside, smiling as she watched the children and her husband Xu Tingshan sweating on the court. The sunlight shone on them, as if they were coated with a layer of warm gold.
The children were cheering, and Xu Tingshan was also showing a rare energy, with every shot full of power. Linglong was filled with happiness, and felt that such a time was simply beautiful like a dream.
Butler Zhu stood quietly behind Linglong, his eyes always on the court. Looking at the lively scene, a gratified smile appeared on his face.
"Madam, we have been playing ball for a long time. It's time to take a break and have a meal." Butler Zhu said softly.
Linglong nodded and was about to ask everyone to stop, but she saw Xu Tingshan's beautiful spike, which caused the children to cheer. She couldn't help but stop talking temporarily, wanting to let this happy atmosphere continue for a while.
At this moment, an accident happened. The youngest son ran too fast to catch the ball and accidentally fell to the ground, scraping his knee. Everyone gathered around him immediately. Xu Tingshan picked up his son distressedly, while Linglong anxiously checked the wound.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury." Xu Tingshan comforted everyone.
However, just as everyone was about to go back to the house to treat the wounds, the sky suddenly became overcast and the wind blew violently. In a blink of an eye, raindrops as big as beans poured down. Everyone hurriedly ran back to the house, but in the panic, they found that the door was locked for some reason.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone was shivering under the eaves. Linglong was anxious and looked for a way to get into the house. Just when everyone was feeling desperate, butler Zhu suddenly remembered that there was a spare key in the garden. He rushed to the garden in the heavy rain, finally found the key and opened the door.
The family walked into the house in a disheveled but happy manner, changed their clothes, and sat around the dining table. After experiencing the accident, the meal was particularly warm.
The Xu family's dinner was particularly warm, with the table filled with dishes carefully prepared by the parents. The family sat together, laughing and talking.
After the meal, Sanbao spoke first: "Dabao and Erbao, I will not go back to my own home today. I will stay with my parents for a few days before going back." Dabao Xu Yang said immediately: "Then we will not go back either. We will just stay with our parents for a few more days." Linglong and Xu Tingshan were delighted when they heard this.
In the following days, the children seemed to have returned to their childhood, helping their parents with housework, chatting and taking walks with them. Xu Yang took his father fishing, and although they spent most of the time waiting for the fish to bite, the father and son chatted happily. Erbao helped her mother in the kitchen, and her skillful cutting skills made her mother praise her for growing up.
However, on the third night, an accident happened. Xu Tingshan suddenly felt unwell and was rushed to the hospital. The children waited anxiously outside the ward, their hearts filled with worry.
After some examination, the doctor told them that Xu Tingshan's condition was a bit serious and needed surgery immediately. This news was like a bolt from the blue, and the family fell into panic. But the children quickly cheered up. Sanbao was busy contacting experts, Dabao comforted his mother, and Erbao went around to raise money for the surgery.
The waiting time outside the operating room seemed so long, and every minute and every second was a worry for everyone. Finally, the operating lights went out, and the doctor came out, smiling and telling them that the operation was successful. At that moment, the children hugged each other tightly and cried with joy. After this setback, the family became closer, and they knew how precious the time spent with their family was.
After the successful operation, Xu Tingshan was pushed into the general ward. His face was still a little pale, but his eyes showed the relief of surviving a disaster.
Dabao sat beside his father's bed and said firmly, "Dad, I will stay with you in the hospital. Let Erbao and Sanbao go back to work." Erbao and Sanbao were hesitant, but seeing their eldest brother's determination, they nodded in agreement.
During the days in the hospital, Dabao took great care of Xu Tingshan. During the day, he fed his father, wiped his body, and chatted with him to relieve his boredom; at night, he would lie down beside the bed and take a nap.
However, one night, Xu Tingshan suddenly developed a high fever and fell into a coma. The doctor rushed over and conducted a series of examinations and treatments. Dabao waited anxiously, his heart in his throat.
After several hours of rescue, Xu Tingshan's condition finally stabilized. Dabao was exhausted, but he did not dare to relax.
Just when everyone thought Xu Tingshan would gradually recover, another accident happened. The hospital's drug store was actually short of medicines, and one of the medicines Xu Tingshan urgently needed was among them. Dabao was extremely anxious and asked around, and even went to other hospitals to look for it himself.
Finally, with Dabao's unremitting efforts, he found the medicine, and Xu Tingshan's condition improved day by day.
A few days later, Xu Tingshan was finally able to leave the hospital and go home. Erbao and Sanbao were waiting at the door early. Seeing their father return safely, they were so excited that they burst into tears. The family hugged each other tightly. At this moment, they cherished this hard-won reunion even more.
Xu Tingshan was finally discharged from the hospital, and he returned home with great expectations. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife Linglong busy cleaning the house.
"Linglong, let's go out for a trip as a family!" Xu Tingshan said excitedly.
Linglong stopped what she was doing, a bright smile spread across her face, and she said, "Okay, our family hasn't been out for a long time, let's take Butler Zhu with us to have some fun."
At this moment, Dabao ran over excitedly, "That's great, the family can go out for a walk!"
Soon, the news reached the other four children, and everyone began to prepare with joy.
The day of departure arrived, and the family set off on the journey in a grand manner. Along the way, the children laughed and talked happily, and Xu Tingshan and Linglong looked at this lively scene, their hearts filled with satisfaction.
However, when they arrived at their destination and were about to check in to the hotel, they were told that there was a mistake in the booked rooms and only half of the rooms were left. This made everyone very anxious, and Butler Zhu hurried to negotiate with the hotel manager.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a mysterious stranger suddenly came in. He claimed to be the owner of the hotel. After learning about Xu Tingshan's family's situation, he decided to upgrade them to a luxury suite for free and also gave them a series of additional entertainment projects.
Everyone was very surprised and grateful to the kind boss. In the following trip, they enjoyed this rare reunion time and left countless beautiful memories.
On the weekend, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. The family happily drove to a beautiful place, ready to enjoy the fun of barbecue.
Dad was driving, Mom was sitting in the passenger seat, and the children were chattering excitedly in the back seat, discussing the upcoming delicious barbecue. Finally, they arrived at their destination, which was a fairyland-like meadow with a clear stream flowing next to it.
Everyone got out of the car and started to get busy. Dad took out the barbecue utensils from the trunk and assembled them skillfully; Mom took out the prepared ingredients one by one and arranged them neatly; the children ran and played happily on the grass.
Everything was ready, and Dad lit the charcoal fire. Soon, the aroma of barbecue filled the air. At this moment, the younger brother suddenly shouted, "Look, there are so many fish in the stream!" Everyone's attention was attracted. The older brother said excitedly, "Let's catch some fish and grill them!" So the two brothers rolled up their trousers and walked carefully into the stream.
However, the stream was deeper than they thought. The younger brother slipped and fell into the water. The older brother reached out to pull him out and was also dragged into the water. Mom and Dad heard the shouts and ran over. Mom was so scared that her face turned pale. Dad jumped into the water without hesitation and took a lot of effort to pull the two children ashore.
The children were soaked and shivering, but they still joked with each other. Their parents looked at them with both heartache and laughter. Just when everyone thought that this accident would ruin the atmosphere, brilliant fireworks suddenly burst out in the sky. It turned out that a nearby village was holding a celebration. The family looked up at the sky quietly, and the beautiful fireworks illuminated their faces, making this unexpected moment extremely warm and unforgettable.
The family spent three unforgettable days at the seaside. The sun, the beach, the waves, every moment was filled with laughter and warmth.
Dad is a photography enthusiast and keeps capturing happy moments of his family with his camera. Mom carefully prepares a delicious picnic, and the children run and play on the beach, building sand castles of various shapes.
At night, they sat around the campfire, sharing their dreams and thoughts. The starry sky seemed to be listening to their stories.
However, happy times are always short-lived. When the day came to go home, although everyone was a little reluctant, they were also looking forward to the next trip.
When they packed their bags and were about to board the bus to return, the youngest son suddenly discovered that his favorite toy, a little bear doll that he would hug to sleep every night, was missing.
The family immediately began to look for it everywhere, turning over the packed luggage, but still couldn't find it. As time passed, the father and mother's faces also showed anxious expressions.
Just when everyone was about to give up, the elder sister suddenly remembered the scene of her youngest son holding the little bear and watching the stars at the beach last night. So the family hurried to the beach again and finally found the little bear next to a reef.
The youngest son smiled happily, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. With full of memories and the lost bear, the family set out on the road home, already looking forward to the next happy journey.
