Fireworks Besiege the City

111-120

111.: Forced Kiss
Ancestral Hall... Lin Yan remembered that this was indeed the case. Dad asked her to kowtow to an elder alone during the ceremony. At that time, she felt strange in her heart. At that time, she also keenly noticed that her grandparents were not in a good mood. Now it seems that everything is not an illusion. There are indeed big problems between Dad and Grandparents.
Wanting to hear more, he didn't say anything. Lin Yan snorted lightly, expressing dissatisfaction.
Lin Shiheng smiled.
Uncle is old. Seeing Lin Shiheng coming over, he was so happy that his eyes were filled with tears. He trembled and clapped his hands, saying yes all the time.
Lin Yan greeted the old man and stood aside obediently.
From the conversation between Dad and Uncle, she knew some past events. Dad... It should be because of the adoption that there was a knot between him and Grandparents. Uncle revealed that the person Dad adopted was his biological brother. At that time, because he had only one son under his knees and couldn't adopt, he sought someone in the clan to inherit the incense for his brother.
Lin Yan was listening attentively when she noticed her father's eyes sweeping over. Not knowing what it meant, she paused and quickly looked away.
Not long after, her eldest cousin came back. He was the only son of her uncle and the current patriarch of the clan.
It was obvious that her father and her cousin had a very good relationship. The two of them were like close friends, and they smiled at each other tacitly when they met.
"I heard that you were back, and I've been wanting to invite you home to sit down for a while," the cousin took off his coat, shook off the remaining snow on his body, and strode over. "Jiale said when he came back that he was able to get help with his work thanks to you. Today, we brothers should have a couple more drinks."
Lin Shiheng also smiled, "Jiale has made progress on his own. I just mentioned it to their director, it's nothing."
His "mention" allowed Lin Jiale to gain a firm foothold in his department. The fact that he was able to stay in the pediatric department of the Second Hospital after the regular training made him far ahead of his peers. Although Lin Shiyun has been in his hometown for a long time, he is not ignorant of the ways of the world. Of course, Lin Jiale himself has worked hard enough, but without Lin Shiheng, Lin Jiale would not be treated differently by the leaders of his department.
Lin Shiyun smiled and asked his wife to cook a few more dishes.
A woman's complaint came from the kitchen, "If you say so, it's ready."
Lin Shiyun was in a good mood and asked his father to take out the treasured wine and said that he would not go home until he was drunk with Lin Shiheng today.
Lin Yan: "..." She is drunk now and can't stand the word drunk.
"Uncle cousin..." Lin Yan said softly, "Dad drank a lot at noon and slept all afternoon."
"Don't drink so much today."
Lin Shiyun laughed and told Lin Shiheng that girls are still good, they are careful and caring. His boy looks okay
, but he is far behind Lin Yan. Lin Shiheng is usually more modest, but he never modest when he hears others praising Lin Yan. He always thinks that she is good in every way and it is natural for others to see it.
Lin Yan's face turned red when her cousin praised her. As a junior, she couldn't interrupt. She thought her father would say something for her, but she didn't expect Lin Shiheng to smile and nodded.
"..."
In the end, she couldn't stop. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. As they chatted, they naturally poured wine. My cousin was also a heroine. It was said that she could drink more than men. As expected, she showed her ability to drink at the table. She drank half a bottle of white wine without feeling anything strange. Lin Yan secretly smacked her lips and praised her good alcohol tolerance.
Maybe the atmosphere at the table was too good. Lin Yan drank a small cup at the instigation of her cousin.
In the end, she felt a little dizzy. When she went out and was blown by the night wind, the feeling of heat faded a little.
When she got home, my uncle and cousin were still there. They said they would wait for them to come back to eat Yuanxiao and cut the cake together.
Lin Yan looked at the grandparents in the main seat, and pulled her father's clothes to sit over. No matter what, today is a holiday, and it is also the birthday of the two children. There is no need to make the two old people unhappy at this critical moment.
Lin Shiheng sat down as she said, and everyone in the room relaxed a lot.
The eldest aunt called Lin Yan to serve the dumplings with her. The latter snorted and followed into the kitchen.
After eating the dumplings and cakes, the grandparents said they were tired and asked them to have fun, and then went back to the house to rest. The cousin took Chenchen and Yueyue to the backyard and called Lin Yan to let them go to fly Kongming lanterns together. The
snow was getting heavier and heavier. Chenchen's plan to find Ruirui and Damao was stranded. He could only pout his little mouth depressedly, and he and Lin Yan each held the lantern paper on one side, watching his father squat down to light the fire.
One by one,
the Kongming lanterns of different colors flew into the sky amid the cheers of the two children jumping and jumping, rising higher and higher.
The lights turned into small dots and gradually flew away.
Chenchen said that he and his sister were the birthday stars. Each of them had three birthday wishes. They divided two so that everyone could make a wish together.
Lin Yan also gently closed her eyes amid the children's serious voices. When
she opened her eyes again, she saw Chenchen and Yueyue, each holding a corner of the purple lantern paper, and Lin Shiheng squatted down to light the fire.
Seeing her looking over,
he smiled and said, "Dad is borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, and also send the wish to Yanyan."
There were fireworks blooming in the sky. It was her cousin who took Chenchen and the others to light them at the door. Lin Yan looked over and turned back, and unexpectedly met her father's dark eyes. For some reason, she suddenly felt very panicked in her heart. She didn't dare to look directly at him. She could only pretend to be interested and look up at the sky again.
There was a heat source approaching from behind.
Lin Yan clenched her hands and her heart was thumping wildly.
The heat was still spreading. She turned around and wanted to escape, but she was suddenly pulled on her waist. Before she could scream, she was clamped and pressed against the wooden pillar, and her lips were sealed tightly.
