Yang Ruoqing said: "My grandma asked us to come over and sit down first. She is helping Xiu'er and her grandma to coax Xiu'er. They will come over when the coaxing is done."

Mrs. Sun nodded and glanced at the crowd, "Liu'er isn't here either. Why is she there? Is she still in the kitchen?"

Yang Ruoqing said again: "Third sister-in-law was helping in the kitchen earlier. Later, when little Niuniu woke up, she went to coax the child."

While talking, Liao Meiying, Cao Bamei, and Li Xiuxin brought the dishes together.

Today, Mrs. Sun and Bao Suyun are all here as guests, so it is inconvenient to invite Li Xiuxin to sit down.

And because of the previous episode where Li's mother tried to trip Liao Meiying, everyone felt a little embarrassed, so they all kept silent in a tacit agreement.

As for the men's table, Lao Yang was the head of the family. He didn't ask Li Xiuxin to sit down, so naturally no one else would take over.

Yang Yongxian looked at Li Xiuxin several times, but hesitated to speak.

Obviously, he felt a little sad that Li Xiuxin, as Xiu'er's biological mother, could not sit down as the host and greet the guests with him on such an occasion.

But no matter how distressed he was, Yang Yongxian knew that he couldn't show it too obviously. After all, Liao Meiying was the wife of his three matchmakers and six appointments, and the matchmaker was marrying him.

Li Xiuxin... is just a concubine after all.

The concubine does not belong to the hostess of the old Yang family, just like the fourth uncle's concubine Aunt Xiaojuan. The child is five or six years old. Aunt Xiaojuan has never been a part of such a formal occasion.

With all kinds of feelings flooding into his heart, Yang Yongxian became distracted and knocked over the wine cup in front of him.

The mellow wine spilled out, leaving a very conspicuous mark on his azure robe.

Yang Yongxian stood up quickly, holding up the wet piece of clothing and shaking it gently, his fair face flushed a bit.

"Why don't you be more careful? He's such a big man, but he's so careless." Old Yangtou couldn't help scolding him.

Yang Yongxian looked even more embarrassed.

At the women's table, Liao Meiying was greeting Sun and others to eat. When she heard the movement at the next table, Liao Meiying quickly got up and came to Yang Yongxian's side.

"Yongxian, let me accompany you to change clothes." She said softly.

Yang Yongxian glanced at the women's table behind Liao Meiying and said, "No, you stay here to greet the female guests. I'll just ask Xiuxin to accompany me."

Liao Meiying wanted to say something else, but Yang Yongxian pointed directly at Li Xiu, who was standing by the table with an absent-minded look, and said to her heart: "Come back to the house with me and help me find some clothes."

Li Xiuxin came to her senses, and her eyebrows seemed a little reluctant to leave.

Yang Yongxian felt even more sorry for her, so he came over and took her hand and took her away.

Take her back to the house and comfort her!

The two of them left, and Mrs. Tan came to the dining hall with her mother Li, who was holding Xiu'er in her arms.

"Today our Xiu'er is the protagonist. All of us are popular and successful because of our Xiu'er. Come on, Xiu'er, Grandma Xiu'er, hold Xiu'er and sit with me!"

Mrs. Tan sat down at the head seat of the ladies' table, then patted the seat next to her and invited Mother Li to sit down.

Tan's unprecedented enthusiasm made Sun and others at the table dare not express their feelings.

So they all smiled and greeted Mother Li to sit down.

Mother Li's back was hardened now. The words "a poor mother and a rich son" kept swirling in her mind. She hugged Xiu'er and sat down next to Mr. Tan with a proud look on her face.

"Eat, eat, everyone, don't be restrained. Eat whatever you want. We are all taking advantage of the birthday girl today!" Mrs. Tan raised her chopsticks and greeted.

Everyone responded and raised their chopsticks.

The men at the table next door had already begun to mingled with each other, and the dining room was very lively for a while.

Perhaps the fragrance of the food attracted the child, so Xiu'er stopped crying and sat on Mother Li's lap. Following her instinct, she stretched out her little hands to grab the vegetables in front of her.

He blinked when he saw other people at the table eating.

Mrs. Liu deliberately teased Xiu'er while chewing the meat and bones, making Xiu'er swallow her saliva and making Mrs. Liu laugh.

The atmosphere at the table turned out to be particularly good.

Mother Li put her arm around Xiu'er, and held the chopsticks in her other hand as she ate and drank. Xiu'er raised his head and looked at Mother Li's mouth that couldn't stop, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"I think Xiu'er is hungry, why don't you get him something to eat?" Liao Meiying suggested.

Mother Li glanced at Liao Meiying from the corner of her eyes, and said unceremoniously: "No, no, no, Xiu'er can eat and drink whatever he wants. Xiu Xin has his own way, and you can't give him these greasy things."

Liao Meiying smiled in understanding and wisely stopped making suggestions in this regard.

When the time comes, she'll have a bad stomach and she won't be able to shoulder the responsibility.

Mother Li ate too quickly and dropped several drops of oily soup on Xiu'er's head and face.

"Xiu'er, Ga Po, please eat more slowly. Look, Xiu'er has fallen all over her head and face!"

Yang Ruoqing's appetite has not been very good these days. She has no appetite after seeing these greasy meats, so she basically just sits there and eats a few bites.

With a quick glance, he saw clearly what Li's mother was doing, and couldn't help but give a reminder.

Mother Li lowered her head and glanced at her grandson in her arms. Her head and face were really dirty.

"Hey, he sat on my lap while I was eating. It's inevitable that he will go back and wash himself later. It doesn't matter. Let's continue eating." Mother Li said with a smile, and then started eating and drinking.

Yang Ruoqing frowned secretly, time is really a butcher's knife.

The scholarly lady of Lijia Village has now become such an old woman who doesn't care about her image. She becomes so anxious after just one bite of food. It's really...speechless!

"Xiu'er, give me a hug and you can eat yours."

Tan, who was sitting next to Mother Li, suddenly made a sound.

Mother Li hesitated and said, "Old lady, are you not full yet?"

Tan said: "I have always had a small appetite. Xiu'er, please give me a hug. You eat quickly. It's tiring to take care of a child every day. I'll take over for you."

The child was handed over to Mrs. Tan, and Mother Li wished for it, so she could free up her hands to perform better.

Mrs. Tan held Xiu'er and played with her.

Xiu'er tried to grab the food in front of her several times, but was stopped by Mrs. Tan.

"We adults are eating like this, and I can't bear to see my child hungry. Bring the bowl of rock sugar and white fungus soup to me. I'll feed my Xiu'er a few sips. This sweet soup shouldn't be a problem, so I'll send him away."

."

At Mrs. Tan's order, the rock sugar and white fungus soup was quickly moved to the front.

Mrs. Tan took a clean spoon and scooped out half a spoonful, put it to her lips and blew on it before feeding it to Xiu'er...

Everyone was surprised to see Mrs. Tan caring for Xiu'er like this.

Among the children and grandchildren of the old Yang family, apart from Yang Huamei, the only one whom Tan had held and fed like this was Yang Yongxian.

Even Yang Huaming's son Tiedan has never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

And Xiu'er enjoyed it, which shows that the Tan family attaches great importance to the lineage of Yang Yongxian, the eldest family member.

Mother Li, on the other hand, secretly saw this scene and straightened her waist even more.
