Xia Junshan walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes and found that the atmosphere in the living room was a bit strange. After thinking about it, he guessed what was going on.
"Yan Peng, why did you come to the living room to be lazy? Quickly help me serve the dishes. Aunt Cai has cooked a lot of dishes."
Wang Gang understood and said: "Okay, I will come over to help right away. Yulan, you can come and help too!"
Tian Yulan didn't realize at this time that her words had lost the appetite of the three children, so she entered the kitchen with Wang Gang without thinking too much.
Nan Li sat motionless, secretly sulking.
Xia Junshan didn't lie. Cai Juying had indeed prepared a large table of meat and vegetable dishes, which could cover the whole table. She probably started preparing it yesterday.
The dining table in Nan Jianlong's home was also changed to a round table, which looks like a restaurant.
There is also a painting posted under the glass of the turntable.
Nan Jianlong came over proudly and said to Xia Junshan: "Look, whose painting is this?"
Xia Junshan took a closer look and said, "Dad, why did you put Huanhuan's painting on the table?"
His shout attracted everyone else.
Wang Gang saw a round table covered with a colorful painting, with a hint of innocence in it, and it looked like it was written by a child.
"I like Huanhuan's paintings the most. I can see them every day when I eat from now on." Nan Jianlong said proudly.
Tian Yulan came out with the dishes and saw Huanhuan's painting. Her face looked like it would be a pity not to learn how to change faces in Sichuan Opera.
Wang Gang saw that his wife had a strange look on her face and quickly said: "Uncle Nan, it would be great if you could frame Huanhuan's painting and hang it on the wall! If you stick it on the table, won't it get dirty after a few meals?"
"It won't get dirty. I specially asked someone to apply a layer of coating to prevent oil stains." Nan Jianlong explained.
Wang Gang added: "That's not good. If I put the dishes on the table like this, wouldn't it block Huanhuan's paintings?"
Tian Yulan took advantage of the situation and put the dish down, which suppressed the painting. No one could see the content of the painting.
Nan Jianlong was a little embarrassed. When he did it before, he really didn't think carefully and didn't think about putting food on the table.
Tian Yulan frowned, brought another large bowl of soup from the kitchen, and placed it directly on top of Huanhuan's painting.
Huanhuan came over at this time and was a little unhappy when she saw that her painting was covered by so many dishes, making it look like a plate cushion.
"Dad, my paintings are all suppressed." Huanhuan said coquettishly to Xia Junshan.
Xia Junshan didn't know how to comfort his daughter, so Nan Jianlong had to apologize to his granddaughter:
"Huanhuan, I'm sorry. It's because grandpa didn't think well. When I get back, I will take out the painting and find a frame to frame it."
Huanhuan pouted, still a little unhappy.
Nan Li pulled her daughter and said, "Huanhuan, grandpa has apologized to you, what should you say?"
Huanhuan reluctantly said to Nan Jianlong: "It's okay, grandpa."
Nan Jianlong was very embarrassed, and everyone could see the perfunctory look on Huanhuan's face. This time he was really flattering.
"Everyone, please take a seat. The dishes are all here." Cai Juying walked out of the kitchen carrying the last dish. Seeing everyone standing, she didn't know what was going on.
With Cai Juying on the stage, Nan Jianlong immediately invited everyone to sit down.
"Huanhuan, grandpa knows that you won the singing competition championship, and grandpa has a gift for you."
Nan Jianlong took out a toy from under the table, which was Lego bricks. Huanhuan was so happy when he saw it, and the previous unhappiness had long been forgotten.
On the contrary, Chaochao pouted when he saw that his sister had a gift but he didn't.
Nan Jianlong laughed and said: "Chaochao also wants a gift, how could grandpa forget you?"
As he said this, Nan Jianlong took out another box of chocolates and handed it to Chaochao.
Seeing that both friends had gifts, Yan Ziyou was extremely envious.
"Don't worry, Ziyou. Grandpa always treats everyone equally, and you also have a gift."
Nan Jianlong took out another gift, which was Lego bricks, and handed it to Yan Ziyou.
Yan Ziyou was very happy at first, but when she got the gift, her face immediately fell and she whispered to Wang Gang: "The gift is the same as before."
The gift Nan Jianlong gave to Yan Ziyou this time was exactly the same as the one he gave to Yan Ziyou last time he came home for dinner. It was obvious that he didn't choose carefully.
When Tian Yulan found out, her lungs almost exploded with anger.
Wang Gang also didn't want his son to be wronged.
"Dad, Ziyou already has this gift, otherwise you should give it to Chaochao!"
Wang Gang picked up the Lego bricks and handed them to Chaochao.
Nan Jianlong was a little embarrassed. He really didn't expect such a mistake.
"Oh! Grandpa may have picked up the wrong ones. Huanhuan's Lego bricks belong to Ziyou, and Ziyou's belongs to Huanhuan." Nan Jianlong said to cover up his embarrassment.
Xia Junshan and Nan Li looked at each other, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was not the case at all.
Because Xia Huanhuan's Lego bricks are a princess castle, and Yan Ziyou's are robots.
A boy plays with it and a girl plays with it. How could they get the wrong ones?
"Dad, you mean the super chocolate!" Xia Junshan said to save him.
Nan Jianlong's face twitched, and he realized that he was quick to speak and said the wrong thing again.
"Yes, yes, the building blocks are for the Huanhuan Chaochao siblings, and the chocolates are for Ziyou." Nan Jianlong covered his head and said:
"This man is old and his brain is a bit degenerated. One day I will go to the hospital to check whether he has Alzheimer's disease."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very strange. Everyone was watching Nan Jianlong's poor performance. Except for the children who believed what he said, no adult present believed it.
"Chaochao doesn't want building blocks, Chaochao wants chocolate." Xia Chaochao hugged the chocolate box tightly and shouted.
Nan Li angrily scolded: "Chaochao, you can't be so rude. The chocolate belongs to Ziyou's brother. You and your sister are both building blocks. Isn't that great?"
Chaochao is only four years old and knows how to play with Lego bricks. Compared with building blocks, chocolate is more tempting.
When Nan Li saw her son holding the chocolate and not letting go, she felt a little angry.
"Chaochao, return the chocolate to Brother Ziyou quickly."
When Nan Li yelled, Chaochao immediately started crying.
After a good family dinner, who would be in the mood to eat when the children cry?
"Nan Li, don't talk to your child like that. Ziyou doesn't want the gift. I'll give the chocolates and building blocks to Chaochao." Wang Gang advised.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Super, daddy will buy you a box of chocolates later, okay." Xia Junshan advised his son.
Chao Chao cried louder and louder, and even Huanhuan's eyes became red.
Tian Yulan sat there, watching her husband make the Nanli family restless with just one sentence. She felt a little proud and secretly gave Wang Gang a thumbs up under the table.
Wang Gang pressed down Tian Yulan's hand to prevent others from seeing it.
A nice family dinner turned into coaxing the kids, and in the end no one was happy.
Especially Nan Li's family of four, they were all a little aggrieved, but they couldn't take it out on anyone.
In the evening, Wang Gang drove away with his wife and children. Nan Jian was so heartbroken that he did not go to see them off.
In the car, Wang Gang said to Tian Yulan while driving: "In the future, it is better to come to less family dinners like this! Anyone who eats it will feel choked."
Tian Yulan sneered: "Did I want to come? It's not because the old man is old and just wants to have children and grandchildren, that's why he made it so ugly."
Wang Gang sighed and said, "Can't we and Nanli's family just get together? If we have to get together, it will be awkward to meet each other."
"That won't work. What if Nanli bullies my mother when I'm not around?"
Yan Ziyou in the back row asked curiously: "Why does aunt bully grandma?"
Tian Yulan said angrily: "Children don't understand anything, don't listen to what adults say."
Yan Ziyou pursed his lips and sat back in his seat.
Wang Gang glanced at his son in the rearview mirror and asked, "Ziyou, do you like grandma or grandpa?"
"I like grandma." Yan Ziyou said without hesitation.
"Why don't you like grandpa?" Tian Yulan asked.
"It's not that I don't like grandpa, but I feel like grandpa doesn't like me. He treats me and Huanhuan very well, but it's just different."
Adults say that children are ignorant all day long. In fact, children are the most sensitive and can often see problems that adults ignore.
"This is the difference between closeness and distance. Huanhuan Chaochao and grandpa are related by blood, so they are closer, just like grandparents love Ziyou the most.
On the contrary, grandparents will not like Huanhuan Chaochao as much as they like Ziyou."
Tian Yulan frowned and said, "Why are you talking to a child like this?"
Wang Gang explained: "I am teaching my son not to be resentful because of his grandfather's favoritism. I want to establish his correct values."
Tian Yulan rolled her eyes and said, "Is this what children of his age should learn?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "It's because he is still young and has to learn to distinguish right from wrong. He cannot judge good and evil based on personal likes and dislikes."
"You have a lot of truths today!" Tian Yulan said angrily.
"Dad, I understand. I'm actually much happier than Huanhuan. They don't have the love of their grandparents, so I should feel content." Yan Ziyou said suddenly and sensibly.
