Chapter 311 Lin Hai's First Birthday Banquet
After returning home, Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Xu were cooking in the kitchen. Lin Dashan had spread a cloth on the table in the yard and was placing the items needed for the one-year-old celebration on it.
Shen Wanning looked at the abacus, wooden spoon, silver ingots, rouge, pen, books and other things placed on the table.
When the meal was almost ready, Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Xu came out of the kitchen.
"Where's Xiaohai! Hurry up and take Xiaohai out, put him on the table, and see what Xiaohai got during the one-year celebration." Aunt Zhang said.
"Here I am." Mrs. Wen responded and placed Lin Hai in the middle of the table.
Everyone stood around the table, looking at Lin Hai nervously.
Perhaps because he had never experienced such a situation before, Lin Hai was a little scared. He looked around and saw Wen's face. He quickly crawled over and tried to grab Wen's clothes.
Wen gently pulled his hand away and put him back on the table.
Lin Hai pouted and started crying. Wen had no choice but to hold him and start to comfort him.
After Lin Hai calmed down, Wen put him on the table again.
Shen Wanning picked up the brush on the table and waved it in front of Lin Hai. "Xiao Hai, take a look at what this is. Do you want it?"
Lin Hai crawled towards her, and Shen Wanning quickly put the brush on the table.
Others followed Shen Wanning's example and called out Lin Hai.
Lin Hai looked around on the table, finally grabbed a big spoon, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing.
"It seems that this kid will love to eat when he grows up." Lin Jingcheng shook his head and patted Lin Hai on the butt.
Aunt Zhang picked up Lin Hai and said, "Who said that? Maybe our Xiao Hai can become a royal chef when he grows up! Right, Xiao Hai?"
After Xiao Hai finished his one-year-old birthday ceremony, the others quickly cleared the things on the table, then brought the food out from the kitchen and placed it on the table.
Wen held Lin Hai in her arms, and everyone gathered around the dining table, waiting for dinner.
Seeing everyone putting food into their mouths, Lin Hai struggled to eat too.
Aunt Zhang got up and brought a bowl of egg custard from the kitchen, scolding with a smile, "This greedy boy, luckily I steamed a bowl of eggs in the pot."
While eating, Wen fed Lin Hai eggs. Only after she had something to eat did Lin Hai stop eating.
After dinner, Aunt Zhang took out a silver safety lock and handed it to Mrs. Wen. "This is the safety lock I bought for my child. I hope Xiaohai will live a peaceful life."
Mrs. Wen took the silver safety lock and said, "I thank you on behalf of Xiaohai."
Next, it was Xu's turn. This time, Xu was incredibly generous, even bringing out a gold pony pendant necklace. "Xiao Hai was born in the year of the horse, so we specially had a horse-shaped necklace made for him."
After taking the necklace, Mrs. Wen thanked Mrs. Xu again.
Lin Jingyou pulled out a pair of silver bracelets from his arms. "I heard from my mother before that silver can ward off evil spirits. I'm giving this pair of silver bracelets to Xiaohai. I hope Xiaohai will be healthy and grow up healthily. I thought the pair of silver bracelets I gave Xiaohai when he was born might be a little small, so I bought a new pair."
He naturally didn't believe in these monsters, but since he learned about time travel, he had more awe for the unknown in the world.
Wen took the silver bracelet and thanked him again.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Every time I went to the temple to worship Buddha, the third child always said that it was a lie. I never thought that one day, the words 'exorcise evil' would come out of his mouth."
Lin Jingyou smiled and said, "People always change. Don't you often say that I have changed a lot compared to before?"
"That's true." When saying this, Aunt Zhang looked at Shen Wanning specifically.
The last one to deliver a gift was Shen Wanning. "Wait a moment, my gift is in the room. I'll get it out."
"I'll go with you." Lin Jingyou said.
Just as the two of them left, Aunt Zhang said from behind, "These two children have such a good relationship. It's a pity that the Emperor's words have prevented them from getting married for the time being. Sigh!"
Yue Mingzhu didn't know the reason and asked curiously, "Why doesn't the emperor allow them to get married?"
"I don't know what the emperor is thinking, but he wants them to not get married for the time being." Aunt Zhang did not give a specific reason.
After all, the emperor only said that it was possible for the two of them to get married. If not, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face?
When they arrived in the room, Shen Wanning took out two small quilts from the express delivery station.
"Third brother, do you think these two quilts are nice?" Shen Wanning opened the two quilts and showed them to Lin Jingyou as if she was presenting a treasure.
Lin Jingyou smiled and nodded, "Pretty, but not as pretty as you." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head and kissed her.
Long time no see. If the three little ones hadn't been with them just now, he would have hugged Shen Wanning.
I finally found the opportunity, I have to kiss her back first.
The two lingered for a while, and Shen Wanning gently pushed his chest, "Third brother, no, they are still waiting, we have to go out."
When Lin Jingyou left her lips, Shen Wanning gently punched his chest and said, "Really? How can you compare me with a quilt?"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Jingyou to speak, she went out with the quilt in her arms.
Lin Jingyou followed her out of the room and closed the door behind her.
"Second sister-in-law, this is my birthday gift for Xiaohai. I hope Xiaohai grows up healthy and happy." As she said that, Shen Wanning handed two quilts to Wen.
Mrs. Wen exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, the pattern on this quilt is so beautiful, and the color is beautiful too." She touched the quilt a few more times. "It's even softer than a cotton quilt."
Aunt Zhang didn't think Shen Wanning would just give her an ordinary quilt. She touched it a few times, feeling its softness. She asked, "Wanning, what is this quilt made of? Why does it feel softer than cotton?"
Shen Wanning smiled and replied, "It's filled with duck and goose down. These are the tiny feathers of ducks and geese. Don't underestimate this quilt. Although it's light, it's warmer than cotton! In winter, Xiaohai will feel uncomfortable under a heavy quilt, so this down quilt is better."
Xu was not quite convinced and asked doubtfully, "Such a light quilt, won't it be cold in winter?"
"Sister-in-law, don't disbelieve me. It's very warm with just a quilt like this." Shen Wanning explained.
Lin Dashan nodded. "Wan Ning's words make sense. Look, ducks and geese aren't afraid of the cold. They still swim in the water in winter! It's all because of their fur that keeps them warm."
"If you don't believe me, I will make one for everyone in my family in a few days. Then you will know how good a down quilt is. I guarantee that after you use a down quilt, you will no longer want to use a cotton quilt." Shen Wanning said.
"Okay." Xu said reluctantly.
