Chapter 347 Grand Opening Banquet (6)_1
Lin Jiaxin was initially reluctant, but he couldn’t resist his daughter’s persuasion and picked up his wine glass. He toasted to Lin Ershuan’s family and Old Iron Head, "Er Shuan and your wife, Brother Iron, our Rice Flower Fragrance is opening today, all thanks to your help. Here, I’d like to offer a toast to you, as a token of my gratitude. Cheers!"
Lin Yuan, listening to her father’s somewhat awkward toast, pursed her lips and smiled.
Lady Liu also picked up on her husband’s nervousness and winked at her daughter. Both mother and daughter’s faces were filled with joy and satisfaction.
The dishes Lin Yuan ordered today were very much to everyone’s liking. Lady Liu was a month away from giving birth and was in a phase where she ate a lot and grew quickly. Her face, compared to the first half of the year, seemed almost rushed in its blossoming, white and plump, with her belly growing extremely fast.
Sister Guizhi sat next to her and, looking at Lady Liu’s large belly, asked in a low voice, "How is it? Is the baby kicking a lot?"
"A lot," Lady Liu said, gently stroking her belly, her face full of satisfied happiness, "It’s bad enough usually, but when Da Ya makes something tasty, this little one gets even more lively. It kicks and squirms after eating as if it’s a little mischievous monkey."
Glancing at Xiao Linshuang, who was eagerly eating wild duck, Lady Liu leaned closer to Sister Guizhi and whispered, "This little one, for sure, will be even greedier than Yaya!"
Sister Guizhi laughed heartily; she had now witnessed Xiao Linshuang’s voracious appetite. Perhaps it was because the family used to be hungry all the time, so the little girl loved to eat anything she saw. But now, the family was not short of food, and she still ate whatever she could get, more and more each time. Her build was, visibly, growing wider, and nothing Lady Liu said seemed to make any difference.
