Chapter 450 Growing up
Chapter 450 Growing up
When we arrived outside the reception hall, Lin Hua's family came out to greet us with smiles.
Lin Hua's wife walked towards the brother and sister, and said enthusiastically as she walked: "Niannian, Yueyue, you are finally here."
An Yue bowed and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, uncle and aunt."
Lin Hao was overjoyed when he saw An Yue coming.
He said excitedly: "Welcome sister Anyue and brother Anyan to visit my home."
An Yue smiled faintly at Lin Hao, and the two dimples at the corners of her mouth appeared from time to time, making her look very playful and cute.
She bowed to Lin Hao and said, "Brother Lin Hao."
Lin Hua, who was standing at the front, asked with a smile: "Yueyue, you guys have come all the way here, I'm afraid there are too many people to handle it?"
An Yue nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, Uncle Lin guessed right, it's really crowded!"
Lin Hua smiled brightly and nodded, "Haha, yes! It's the same every year at the Lantern Festival. Come on, come on, come inside and have some tea."
Come to the reception hall.
Lin Hua's wife asked the brother and sister to sit down, and An Yue immediately put down the backpack and took out the cakes from it.
She handed it to Lin Hua's wife and said, "Aunt, this is the cake I made. I brought it here specially for you, Aunt, and Brother Lin Hao to taste."
Before Lin Hua's wife could reach out her hand, Lin Hao, who was standing nearby, rushed forward.
He reached out and took the cake from An Yue's hand, and said, "Thank you, sister An Yue."
The moment he took it, his face was almost beaming with smiles.
An Yue and his mother's hands were both hanging in the air, and An Yue quickly took them back in embarrassment.
Lin Hao's mother frowned slightly and said, "Hao'er, don't be rude."
Lin Hao hurriedly opened the bundled pastries. He looked at the shape and color of the pastries which were very special.
He quickly asked the maid beside him to go to the kitchen and bring over a few plates of pastries.
Soon, the maid brought a plate of cakes. He put the cakes on the plate one by one and then hurriedly gave it to his parents.
Lin Hua's wife looked at the cakes on the plate and said with surprise, "Yueyue is really amazing. Not only can she cook delicious dishes, but she can also make such exquisite cakes!"
Lin Hua looked at the cakes on the plate and nodded in satisfaction, "Well, they look delicious. I must try them."
Everyone sat in the reception hall, tasting the cakes and praising the cakes made by An Yue.
"Yueyue, this pastry is really delicate and sweet. It is the most delicious thing we have ever tasted."
An Yue nodded twice: "Uncle Lin, you are too kind."
Lin Hua's wife, who was sitting next to them, finished eating a piece of rice cake and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth.
Smiling, he asked softly, "Yueyue, what is the name of this cake?"
"Aunt, what you just ate is called rice cake."
"Well, this rice cake is very good. It's really delicious, slightly sweet and greasy, and very chewy. Yueyue comes to visit and makes this cake herself. It's really thoughtful of her!" Lin Hua's wife said politely.
Lin Hao, who was sitting opposite An Yue, was busy eating the pastries on his plate.
An Yue took a glance and couldn't help laughing secretly in her heart.
The atmosphere in the reception hall was harmonious, with constant laughter and conversation.
Lin Hao finished the pastries on the plate and licked his lips with satisfaction.
Looking at An Yue, he said, "Sister An Yue, this cake is so delicious. It would be great if I could eat it more often in the future."
Mr. and Mrs. Lin Hua, who were sitting in the hall, looked at each other.
Lin Hua smiled and shook his head helplessly: "Hao'er, you are not usually so greedy. It seems that the cakes made by Yueyue are very suitable for your taste!"
After hearing what his father said, Lin Hao's face flushed and he scratched his head embarrassedly.
An Yue looked at Lin Hao's appearance and the smile on her lips became even more intense.
She said softly: "If Brother Lin Hao likes it, if I come to the county town in the future, I will make more in advance and send it to Brother Lin Hao when the time comes."
After hearing this, Lin Hao's eyes lit up instantly and he said excitedly, "That's great, Sister An Yue, you must keep your word."
At this time, Lin Hua's wife stood up and said to her son Lin Hao: "Hao'er, you just know how to eat. It must be very difficult for Yueyue to make these cakes."
Lin Hao was shocked and said, "Ah? If that's the case, then I'd be embarrassed to let Sister An Yue do it again!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Several people chatted for a while in the reception hall.
Suddenly, a maid came in and said softly, "Master, Madam, lunch is ready."
Lin Hua nodded with a "hmm" sound, indicating that he understood.
Then he stood up and took the siblings to the dining room for lunch.
......
When everyone came to the dining room, they saw the table filled with sumptuous dishes.
Lin Hua smiled and greeted them, "Come on, Nian Nian, Yue Yue, come and sit down quickly. The dishes at my uncle's house are not as delicious as Yue Yue's. Yue Yue and Nian Nian will just have to eat!"
"Uncle, you shouldn't say that. Yueyue's family only has simple food and drink."
Several people sat around the table, picked up their chopsticks and prepared to have lunch.
......
The winter sun at noon is not scorching, but it brings just the right amount of warmth, making people no longer feel cold.
After lunch.
Several people went to the reception hall to sit and drink tea, chatting about An Nian's upcoming palace examination.
......
A few quarters of an hour later.
Lin Hua said to his son Lin Hao, "Hao'er, take your brothers and sisters to the yard for a walk. This will help them digest their food."
Lin Haole replied excitedly: "Okay! Dad."
Afterwards, the brother and sister followed Lin Hao.
He led the siblings to the pavilion in the courtyard and said, "You guys sit here for a while. I'll go get some good things from the study."
An Nian asked curiously, "Brother Lin Hao, what good stuff is this?"
As he walked, he turned back and said with a smile: "Brother Zi'an Nian will know in a while."
Suddenly, he was seen walking towards the brother and sister with a bunch of things in his arms.
When he came up to the brother and sister, he placed all the things in his arms on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.
An Yue took a closer look and saw that they were all utensils and calligraphy and paintings.
He smiled and said, "Sister An Yue, Brother An Nian, take a look and see if there is anyone you like."
The brother and sister looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
......
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Hua, who were sitting in the reception hall drinking afternoon tea, were really amused by seeing their son being particularly enthusiastic towards Anyan and Anyue.
Lin Hua's wife looked at the yard and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, it seems that our son has really grown up."
"Yes, but... Yueyue is still young now. I also heard what Yueyue said that day at the An family."
Lin Hua's wife smiled arrogantly, then rolled her eyes at Lin Hua and said, "How come you are eavesdropping on our conversation while sitting at that table?"
As they talked, they started laughing again.
