There is nothing much to say about the dinner. After all, there are too many guests, and the main purpose is to eat.
Lin Xiao sat quietly and ate quietly. After his grandfather left the table, he quietly left and went to the manor to attend the family dinner.
The so-called family dinner is naturally only for family members, and only the most direct descendants can enter, such as the three uncles and their descendants, and the direct descendants of several other families who came to celebrate the birthday. However, when Lin Xiao entered the living room, he unexpectedly found that the woman who had amazed him before was also there, whispering to his grandmother.
At the same time, he also found that an extremely handsome young man was sitting on the other side of his grandmother. The most eye-catching thing was his pupils that were shining with a faint golden light. Lin Xiao recognized the man's name at a glance. He was the youngest son of the second uncle Lin Changhong, and also the most beloved son. His age was not much different from Lin Xiao, and he seemed to be in the first year of high school.
However, he did not study in Dongning City, but went directly to the Provincial Government No. 1 Middle School. Now I don't know how strong he is.
It is said that he is not the offspring of the second uncle and his current wife, but the offspring of the second uncle and an indigenous goddess. As the direct offspring of the two true gods, he was born with visions. After opening up the divine domain, he initially possessed four points of divinity. He is a true child of destiny.
This true child of destiny is the focus of everyone's attention no matter where he is. Even at this occasion, he is qualified to sit at the same table with the elders, which is very enviable.
Lin Xiao found that when many cousins or cousins in the hall were chatting, their eyes could not help but look over there frequently, either on Lin Xu or on the woman.
"A beautiful lady, a gentleman's dream!"
Not only them, even the always arrogant Lin Xu could not help but look at Shen Yuexin frequently at this time, and seemed to be a little moved.
Lin Xiao was of course no exception. He stood quietly in a corner and looked at her from time to time.
But he didn't have any thoughts, just admiring. In his previous life, as an old driver, he always stared at beautiful women openly, instead of peeking like other cousins.
Not sure if his undisguised gaze was too fierce, Shen Yuexin noticed that she was looking at him, and stared at him with her wine-red pupils for a long time, hoping to make the boy ashamed and retreat as before.
Then, unexpectedly, the boy not only did not retreat, but also blinked his eyes.
Flirting with me?
No, she noticed that the boy's eyes were clear and pure appreciation, not as salty as some eyes, and her anger could not help but disappear, and she smiled and retracted her gaze.
Lin Xiao shrugged and retracted his gaze as well, and did not continue to look, otherwise it would be hooliganism.
At this time, he heard an irrepressible quarrel coming from the table two seats away by the window. When he listened carefully, the sound became smaller. He looked up and saw that his eldest cousin Lin Kun was standing in front of the table with an angry face staring at two
cousins from unknown families. Lin Xiao rarely saw them and did not recognize them. Lin Kun's girlfriend was next to him.
This girl is not an ordinary girlfriend. She should have been recognized by the uncle's family, otherwise she would not be brought into the family dinner.
Hearing their whispered argument, Lin Xiao understood the reason for the quarrel.
Lin Kun and his girlfriend sat here first. It was unknown whether they were showing off their affection to someone or what, but the two of them were looking for trouble and wanted to sit here, so there was a dispute.
And beyond his expectation, many people around heard the quarrel here, including the brothers Lin Zhu and Lin Ye from the second uncle's family at another table, but they clearly heard it but pretended not to hear it and faced the other side. If it weren't for the frequent peeking, I would have thought they didn't see it. The
eldest cousin Lin Wei and Lin Yue were chatting with other girls on the other side and didn't notice this place. The young people in other rooms around them all looked like they were watching a good show.
Lin Xiao frowned, and at this moment one of the men pointed his finger at Lin Kun's chest in an insulting manner. He sighed, stood up and strode over.
The sound of footsteps made the man subconsciously turn his head and saw Lin Xiao walking in front of him, staring at him, not saying a word, just looking at him.
He carefully scanned Lin Xiao up and down, revealing a thoughtful look, his eyes lit up as if he remembered, and said with a hint of disdain:
"Are you going to stand up for your cousin?"
Lin Xiao did not answer him, but said:
"No, just reminding you, are you sure you want to quarrel in front of so many elders and guests?"
"So what?"
The man subconsciously turned his head to look at the small hall, and happened to attract the attention of grandfather and others. With the power of high-level demigods, even the smallest sound can be heard.
The man suddenly felt weak. Even if it was just a normal glance without any expression, he really didn't dare to make a big deal.
He glared at Lin Xiao fiercely and retreated with his companions.
"Is that Haolin's kid?"
Grandpa asked with a flash of approval in his eyes.
The father sitting below immediately stood up and answered:
"It's my son, Lin Xiao."
"Not bad."
The eyebrows of the eldest and second uncles next to him twitched slightly, but there was no strange color on their faces and eyes.
This was just a small episode, not many people paid attention to it, even the mother was busy with the secret competition between the aunts.
But Shen Yuexin noticed it by chance and looked at him specially.
Lin Kun looked at Lin Xiao with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that the one who helped him out in the end was this cousin whom he had always looked down upon. The corners of his mouth twitched as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. Instead, his girlfriend thanked him.
After returning to his original position for about ten minutes, he suddenly heard his uncle's voice:
"Children, today is Grandpa's birthday. Do you have anything to say to Grandpa?"
This is the birthday celebration part, and it is also a chance for the younger generation to show up in front of Grandpa. If they perform well, they will generally be given some rewards.
The first one to take the lead was the eldest uncle's eldest son Lin Kun. He came forward with his girlfriend holding an exquisite gift box. After a meaningless congratulation speech, each received a red envelope in return from Grandpa.
Then the two sons of the second uncle came forward to congratulate together, and each also received a red envelope.
Finally, it was Lin Xiao's turn. He took the gift box prepared by his mother and came forward to bow respectfully:
"Grandson wishes Grandpa to be as bright as the sun and the moon, and to be young forever!"
The congratulatory speeches were all searched on the Internet. There was nothing new. Everyone was the same. Grandpa didn't want to hear this. It was mainly a formality.
Grandpa looked at Lin Xiao with a sympathetic look on his face, nodded after listening, and suddenly asked:
"Grandpa remembers that you just graduated from high school, how are your grades?"
"Top three in the grade."
"Yeah, not bad!"
Grandpa nodded, took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it over, saying:
"Work hard, the family will depend on you in the future."
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Next, the young people from other rooms came to congratulate, and after all the young people finished congratulating, Shen Yuexin, who was sitting next to grandma, also stood up. Seeing this, Lin Xu next to her also stood up. Shen Yuexin glanced at him, and he smiled slightly and said:
"It just so happens that I want to celebrate the birthday of my uncle on behalf of my mother and father. Let's do it together?"
Shen Yuexin hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. Lin Xu was secretly happy, and stepped forward to stand with her. The handsome man and beautiful woman looked very well matched. Lin Xiao clearly felt the envy of the cousins around him.
Shen Yuexin presented her gift and said in a crisp voice:
"Yuexin wishes grandpa aunt to be as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun, as long-lived as the Nanshan Mountains, never collapsing and never collapsing, and as luxuriant as pine and cypress. All of you will inherit it."
"Linxu wishes fourth uncle a long-lasting tree of life, a long-flowing water of life, good health and happiness, and eternal spring!"
"Good!"
Grandpa took the gifts from the two very happily, and handed each of them a red envelope, and said to Shen Yuexin:
"When we go back, say hello to the old man for me."
"Yuexin will definitely bring it to you."
He paused when he looked at Lin Xu, his eyes swept among his juniors, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face, and he smiled and said to him:
"I heard that you were in the Provincial No. 1 Middle School..."
Grandpa stopped talking after saying a few words, looked up and looked outside. Everyone was puzzled, and suddenly heard a deafening noise from the sky, followed by a huge noise outside the door. Lin Xiao happened to be sitting by the window and looked up to see a huge golden vortex appeared in the air outside the manor, with a steady stream of golden light pouring out of it.
After a while, golden light flew out from the sky, and quickly condensed into a lower body that twisted and connected into the vortex. The upper body was a huge human-shaped body, and the whole body was blooming with azure light mist, looking like the legendary lamp god.
As soon as the lamp god appeared, a strong pressure descended from the sky. Lin Xiao held the table with a look of shock. This was actually the real body of a demigod.
After the demigod appeared, two dazzling golden lights bloomed in his pupils and swept across the manor. It quickly flew down and stood above the manor.
At this time, everyone in the hall was shocked by this change. Grandpa came to the door surrounded by everyone and looked at the lamp god demigod standing in the air. In his perception, this was a lamp god that was not inferior to a high-level demigod.
Everyone looked at the lamp god falling from the sky with surprise and confusion, but only Lin Xu had a normal expression. He glanced at Shen Yuexin who was supporting his grandmother not far away, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile on his face.
At this time, the uncle walked out of the crowd, bowed to the demigod who was like a genie in the air, and said:
"This is Linjiabao, may I know who you are?"
The genie did not answer him, but swept his eyes like a pillar to all the people who showed up, and said irrelevantly:
"Federal citizen Lin Xu, citizen number txwd544157********, you have a mail delivery, please check it!"
Everyone looked at Lin Xu, he walked out in full view of the crowd with a normal expression and asked:
"Where did it come from?"
"Sender - Official signature: Huaxia District Super Freshman Summer Camp Committee!"
The genie stretched out his hand and pointed, and a white light flew out and fell into Lin Xu's hand, revealing an A4 size, hard card of unknown material that looked exquisite and gorgeous on the surface.
"Wow!"
The crowd suddenly roared. Many guests who had not left yet gathered together, looking at the exquisite card in Lin Xu's hand with shock. One of them, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, said excitedly:
"I recognized it. It's an invitation to the Super Freshman Summer Camp. He actually got an invitation to the Super Freshman Summer Camp."
"Oh my God, isn't that the top freshman activity jointly organized by the five super universities and 133 key universities in the Huaxia region? There are only 1,000 places in each session. Once you can perform well in it, you will be directly recruited by the top universities, which is equivalent to directly falling into the dragon gate and soaring into the sky." "
It's amazing, it seems that he is the number one of this generation in the Lin family."
"The generation before that was the second master, and this generation is him. Both father and son are heroes. It's amazing."
Various whispers rang out in the manor. Grandpa's face was not very good. Although these words were spoken in a low voice, how could he not hear them.
But after looking at the handsome and elegant Lin Xu, and then at his own offspring, he sighed with some regret.
