Chapter 334: I want to drink gracefully
As soon as he entered the dining room of the hotel, he saw a pile of balls and beautiful plastic plush toys in the corner. Liu Fen asked, "Haitang, what are you going to do with so many balls and flowers and toys?"
"There will be a lot of children tonight. Every family will bring one or two children and prepare a small gift for them." Li Haitang had just rushed to the mall to buy it.
"Mom, I want that bouquet of flowers. It's so beautiful." Duoduo threw away her short legs and rushed over. A bunch of yellow sunflowers were especially bright. She liked them very much.
Li Haitang walked over with a smile, "If you want this bouquet of flowers, you have to play the game later. You can only get it if you win."
"Ah, I still have to play games." Duoduo thought he could take it as he pleased. He turned around and asked, "What game are you playing?"
"Let's wait until the other brothers and sisters arrive. All the children can participate. If you win, you can choose your favorite toys." Li Haitang sent a message to the children of the li family.
"Aunt haitang, I like sunflowers too. Only one bunch?" Li lan's eldest daughter ran over and asked.
"There are three bundles. They are tied together. We can open them later. The bouquet and the beautiful peach and tulips are all very beautiful. If you want to, you have to play the game seriously and take an active part in it." Li Haitang also showed them the peach blossoms and tulips that were pressed inside.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. I want it." All the girls liked it, so they gathered around.
Boys liked balls, basketball, soccer, badminton, and so on. They all shouted happily. Some of them liked plush toys. They were so excited that the roof almost fell off.
"All right, don't make any noise now. Save some energy and energy for later games. If you are tired of playing now and have no strength later, then all the good things will be taken away by the other brothers and sisters. Now come over and sit down. Have some pastries and juice first, and have a good rest."
Li Haitang stood in front of them and commanded. She still had some authority in front of the children of the li family. She spoke and they all listened.
"Two small pastries each, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and three strawberries. Sit down and eat. Don't fight." Li Haitang waved her hand to the waiter not far away, indicating that she would send the food first.
"Mom, can we have more orange juice?" An' an begged. He liked it and wanted to drink two glasses each time.
"Have a drink now, and drink later when you eat." Li Haitang took some tissue to wipe his mouth and said to the others, "If you want to pee after drinking orange juice, you have to go to your mother's bathroom in time. If someone peed on him, it would be a shame and everyone would laugh at him."
"We're all grown up. We don't wet our pants anymore." She answered loudly.
Ruan Rongrong, who was sitting at the table, exposed him, "Who drank mutton soup last month to make the bed wet into a river?"
"Haha..." The children all clapped on the table and laughed, and several boys laughed at him directly, "It's so embarrassing for your brother to wet his pants when he's so old."
He rubbed the back of his head. He seemed to have a slight impression, but he couldn't remember clearly. He blushed, "That was a long time ago. I was still young then. I was only as old as An' an."
"I stopped wetting my pants a long time ago. I stopped wetting my pants when I was two years old." An' an immediately answered, as if he was detesting him for wetting his pants at the age of four.
Li Haitang looked at him with a smile and did not expose his son. The last time he drank too much orange juice and peed his pants, he forgot all about it.
When the waitress brought everything over, the orange juice was in a glass. She stood in front of her and reminded everyone, "Drink slowly. Don't spill the orange juice and dirty your clothes. Don't break the glass."
"Mom, I'll take my time. I want to drink gracefully." Duoduo said, pursing his lips.
Li Haitang was amused and looked at her with a smile, "You still drink gracefully. Who taught you that?"
"Auntie. Auntie said that girls should behave in a dignified and elegant manner. You can't grab food and drink like bandits. You should chew and swallow slowly." She had no idea what some words meant, but she had a good memory and memorized them all.
"Well, auntie is right. Remember and act accordingly. Even if you encounter something you like, don't fight for it. Share it with everyone politely. Don't monopolize it by yourself. Let other children enjoy it. You can't eat too fast. You have to eat slowly and be an elegant lady."
Duoduo listened carefully to her mother and saw her brothers and sisters next to her drinking with glasses in their arms. She pointed at them and said, "They drink too fast. They will choke."
"Drink slowly, drink slowly."
The boys didn't know how to chew and swallow at all. They wanted to finish their glasses in one gulp.
When they finished eating, Lin Peipei and the others came over one after another. The old classmates all gave a warm hug when they met, especially Wang Li. She wished she was an octopus and could hang on Li Haitang.
Lin Peipei stayed in the provincial department of education after graduating from graduate school. Over the years, he was promoted because of his good work performance. Su Tong now works in the finance department and is a middle-level leader. Wang Li also transferred to the history museum to work in her favorite industry.
As for their three husbands, Wu Tianyu and meng pengfei were still in the former unit's public security office, while Wang Li's husband, feng tianle, was teaching at the provincial key high school.
Their children were older than An' an Duoduo, and they were now six or seven years old. They were all in primary school, and their families were well-educated and polite.
Teacher Qin and his wife were home for the weekend, and they brought their son to dinner. When the three of them arrived, Teacher Qin, who was still beautiful and gentle, was immediately dragged away by Li Haitang and the others. The other Wu family father and son were left to jiang chuheng to entertain.
Today, Jiang Chuheng's classmates also came a lot, roughly seven or eight of them, they had not seen each other since graduating from college, and now it has been almost ten years, they all gave each other fists and coaxed each other, as if they had returned to the green years of university.
After making sure everyone was there, Li Haitang informed the restaurant to serve the food and wine.
Tonight, everyone was invited to eat roasted whole sheep. Because of the large number of people, three sheep were roasted, and many other kebabs and dishes were prepared. More than ten boxes of alcoholic drinks were brought to let everyone eat and drink freely.
Barbecue is the children's favorite. Tonight, they all sat by their parents and waited for the waiter to bring the roast lamb over. They all grabbed the skewers and ate with relish.
The couple also toasted at each table. Li Haitang had to play games with the children later. Instead of drinking high alcohol, he poured some wine to accompany them to drink lightly.
