Chapter 269 Shang Zhuoming's First Birthday
After some calculation, I found that this wooden horse chair has a history of twenty-eight or twenty-nine years, which makes it half an antique.
Shang Jianghan thought for a moment, and his memory had no trace of this thing.
Shang Qichao said that he had cleaned up the warehouse in the old house not long ago, and it was tightly sealed in a foam box. When he opened it, it still looked brand new.
Objects made of pure solid wood, handmade by craftsmen and well preserved, are rare nowadays.
The key is, Shang Zhuoming likes it!
Shen Chaoxi smiled and said, "Look, the toy I gave you, but you didn't see it for a day, and it passed around and ended up in your son's hands! It can be said that it was put to good use!"
At dinner, Shang Jianghan mentioned that he would hold a birthday party for Shang Zhuoming at Baiye tomorrow afternoon.
Shang Qichao waved his hand. He would not participate in the games of young people. He would just eat a bowl of longevity noodles for his child early in the morning on the 12th.
"The gifts have been sent to your villa. Children's birthdays should be taken seriously, but don't make a big fuss about it. Just have some fun."
Therefore, when Shen Chaoxi did not suggest holding a grand banquet at first, Shang Qichao very much agreed and thought that his daughter-in-law was very sensible.
Bai Jinyu sat below Shang Qichao, and opposite her sat Shang Jianghan and his family of three.
She looked up and scanned the three people.
His son had a calm expression, with a gentle look in his brows, and was eating slowly. The girl next to him had delicate and beautiful eyes and brows, and was taking care of the child's diet most of the time. She had a faint smile on her lips, and her expression became more varied when the child made trouble, and she could easily subdue the little devil.
The picture of a family of three is ordinary but warm. It may be the most real and ordinary microcosm of billions of families, but for Bai Jinyu it will always be a missed past.
Never go back to the past.
Perhaps he had been staring for too long, Shang Jianghan raised his eyes and looked over.
"Why? Don't you like the food?"
It's a very common question, but it reverses the order of priority.
This question should have been asked by her as the hostess, but now she felt like an outsider.
Bai Jinyu suppressed the bitterness in her heart and smiled.
"No, I haven't been eating much lately, and I wanted to watch you eat."
After a pause, Bai Jinyu continued, "I will be returning to Zurich early tomorrow morning and will not attend my child's birthday party.
Your father is right. There is a long way to go. Paying too much attention to a child's birthday may actually reduce his luck. I have sent my gift together with your father's to your side of Chongyuan Road."
Bai Jinyu was sure to go back, but no one expected her to leave so suddenly.
Shang Jianghan lowered his eyes and said nothing. Shen Chaoxi was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't be so anxious. I see that you are in a good mood these two days. It should be okay to stay a few more days."
There was something haggard and indescribable about Bai Jinyu's expression.
"I appreciate your kindness. I've been here for a long time and have seen everything I need to see. The child and you are both fine. I can go back and receive treatment without any worries. Maybe one day when I recover, I can return to China. You guys are busy and I can help take care of the child."
The voice gradually lowered as he spoke later.
Bai Jinyu knew that whether her illness could be cured did not depend on her, and whether she could help take care of the children was just her best wish.
After a moment, Bai Jinyu stood up and his eyes stayed on the little guy for a few seconds.
"I'm full. You guys take your time eating. I'll go back to my room to clean up."
After saying this, she didn't stop and went upstairs very quickly.
Then, Shang Qichao let out a slight sigh mixed with a bitter smile.
"Do you think she is extremely regretful now?
Not to mention that she regrets it, even I often feel regretful,...
So, spend more time with your children in the future! "
The next afternoon, a unique birthday party was held on the third floor of Baiye. Although there were not many people attending, the atmosphere was very high.
The whole place is in light blue tones, and the flowers are decorated with enchantresses and pink and white roses.
The boyish tones are mixed with a warm atmosphere.
The photo of the little one was magnified several times and displayed in the hall, and a video of the family's interaction was played in a loop on the giant LED electronic screen.
Watching every detail of the baby's life from birth to one year old unfold before him, Shen Chaoxi couldn't help but shed a few tears.
Among the elders, Zhong Hongguang and Yao Chun came with their two twins, Liang Jing also came, as well as the Yao family, including grandma, uncle, aunt and Yao Dimai's family of three.
Jong Suk-hee brings Su Tian, and the two pairs of Song Yang and Zhong Lizhen are naturally indispensable.
Xu Yun and a few good editors from the studio also came.
Xiao Xiaoyu was only told by her high school classmates that she had recently confirmed her relationship with Uncle Zhongli, and the two of them became the target of ridicule at the party.
There are also Zhao Panpan and Yu Dong, who are going to hold their wedding in October. The bride and groom look like a perfect match and their happiness index is high.
Several assistants and secretaries from the president's office also came to join in the fun.
Basically, there were young men and women, playing and laughing to liven up the atmosphere.
Halfway through the party, a special guest arrived at six o'clock.
Yao Zhao was pushed over by his assistant, and he gave the child a robot that he designed and developed himself, but which would never be released to the world for some reason.
The robot has all the functions and its size is similar to Shang Zhuoming, only half a head taller than him.
Due to Yao Zhao's awkward identity and physical condition, he only stayed for a short while before leaving.
Shen Chaoxi and Shang Jianghan sent him downstairs.
At the entrance of the lobby on the first floor, Shen Chaoxi thanked the other party.
Yao Zhao shook his head slightly: "After all, I am the child's uncle, why should I be so polite when I give him a small toy?"
Regarding this identity, which was unavoidable due to blood relationship, Shen Chaoxi just smiled faintly.
The two families will never be able to make this relationship public, nor will they be able to turn hostility into friendship.
At least, it’s impossible during grandma’s lifetime!
Another half an hour passed and the party came to the little one's one-year-old celebration.
Shang Zhuoming stood among a pile of various gifts and chose the miniature motorcycle almost without hesitation.
As it turned out, many years later, Mr. Shang Xiao's favorite thing was all kinds of racing cars. There was a period of time when Shen Chaoxi was so worried about all kinds of racing that he was worried every day and regretted that he should not have put a motorcycle on the list of alternatives for his first birthday party.
The little one’s birthday is finally over and the National Day holiday is here.
On the eve of the holiday, the Graduate School of Kyoto University organized an outing for two days and one night, in the mountains in the suburbs, for social hiking and camping.
At this time, Xiao Shang had been successfully weaned and was sent to Yao Chun. With her uncle and aunt by her side, she should be safe.
Shang Jianghan asked if they needed to prepare an RV.
There is a big temperature difference between the mountain and the foot of the mountain, and they have to have a group barbecue. Mr. Shang is worried that Mrs. Shang won't be able to handle it.
Shen Chaoxi naturally would not ask for special treatment. Her identity had already made her classmates jealous. If she asked for special treatment again during this team building, who knows what people would say about her in private.
Shen Chaoxi didn't care, but she still had to stay in this group for two years, and she didn't want to be accused of being treated specially.
I called Zhongli the night before, and unexpectedly, this little girl insisted on going.
Team building is voluntary as long as you pay the money, and you can bring your family members. But Zhongli is not an ordinary person. If she goes, it will cause a big uproar!
