The Long Family get together was a lengthy and boisterous affair. It had no fixed time like Lunch or dinner with the family members arriving at odd times that were convenient to them but not leaving until they were forcefully pushed out of the door.. Which rarely happened because the members generally found rooms for themselves and slept in for the night.
Zhao Mon had long become used to these in the past but this time with the addition of more children the entire thing had become more noisy and lively.the younger kids were running around chasing odd things while the slightly older ones were competing the adults in basketball. Aunt Mi Rae seemed to have improved incredibly in the game and was now winning much to their consternation.
Uncle Matt was being used as a live canvas with his bossy Ella and even more bossier little Jianan painting a face tattoo for the man while the twins (Ah Hai') painted his arms.
