As if he was afraid that Xia Luo wouldn't understand, Qin Shaoyang added: "It's just a family meal together, no need for any burden. Let's prepare together in the past two days. If you need anything, just tell me directly, but don't Go and alarm Uncle Lin, otherwise there will be no surprise."
Charlotte: "..."
The suggestion is good, but... a surprise? It doesn't always feel very reliable.
I wonder if I'll meet the housekeepers here and it's up to the two of them to make sure there won't be any trouble in the future?
However, Xia Luo finally accepted Qin Shaoyang's proposal.
She would not regard this home-cooked birthday party as a thank you to Qin Shaoheng for helping her, after all, it was too insignificant.
However, this does not prevent her from expressing her gratitude and paying some "interest" in advance.
"Okay, then count me in." Thinking about it, Charlotte agreed.
Because Qin Shaoheng didn't like to bother entertaining other people on his birthday, except for Mr. Qin, Qin Shaoheng, and Qin Shaoyang, the three direct blood relatives, other collateral Qin family members were not invited.
As for those people from aristocratic families and famous circles who usually interact with each other, they will not be invited on this day.
This is a private family banquet that only family members are allowed to attend. It does not pursue the decoration of the scene, but seeks an opportunity for the family to get together and have a simple meal.
For Charlotte, it is not difficult to prepare for a family banquet of this level.
When she was at the Xia family, she had organized large-scale banquets before, although her father's help was indispensable.
Her mother was devoted to scientific research and was not very good at socializing among large families. On the contrary, her father was very capable in this area.
However, what my father liked was my mother's charming attitude of being dedicated to scientific research.
My mother loves her career and has lofty ideals and beliefs. She is dazzling and makes the whole family feel proud.
Speaking of which, because there are too many twists and turns and complicated interpersonal interactions in a wealthy family, when my father pursued my mother at first, my mother actually refused.
For this reason, my father spent a lot of effort to pursue my mother, a rising star in scientific research.
In the days that followed, my father kept his original promise and did not let his mother worry about the favors in a wealthy family, nor did he let his mother quit her job and stay at home to raise her husband and children.
My father is the person who understands my mother best. He has shielded her from many storms in life, so that my mother can still immerse herself in the scientific research career that she loves.
Before the end of the world, there were very few top wealthy families like the Xia family whose heads were as clean and self-possessed as their father.
My father never had much contact with those Yingying Yanyan, and he never acted on occasion.
Even though my mother never secretly investigated her husband's itinerary or hired people to check whether there were mistresses, mistresses, illegitimate children, etc. like other matrons of the house, my father remained loyal and unswerving for decades.
Charlotte's father and mother have become what she most envies. They are the couple of gods that Charlotte privately thinks of.
She once felt that that was probably the best form of love.
Trust each other, understand each other, know each other, stay with each other, and never leave.
She also thought that their family would live happily like that.
However, the apocalypse destroyed everything she held dear.
Because of this small family dinner, Charlotte once again recalled her life a long time ago.
She felt as if it was a lifetime ago, as if it had been a long time ago, but every time she thought of it, it seemed to be right before her eyes.
Time is truly the most amazing thing.
On Qin Shaoheng's birthday, everything was ready.
Because it needs to be a surprise, the servants at home cannot be alarmed.
If the servant was involved, Butler Lin would definitely know about it. After Butler Lin found out, Mr. Qin couldn't hide it.
In this way, Qin Shaoheng will definitely know, and there will be no surprises by then.
In order to prepare for his eldest brother's birthday, Qin Shaoyang deliberately claimed to be sick today and did not go to training.
Qin Shaoheng was still very busy and left the Qin family after breakfast.
It was obviously his birthday, but he, the birthday boy, was the most calm and indifferent, completely lacking the excitement and excitement of a birthday person. Even two or three points of joy are unprecedented.
Mr. Qin, on the other hand, mentioned this matter during lunch. To this end, he even sent a video message to his eldest grandson.
However, Qin Shaoheng didn't seem to take it too seriously. He just laughed and said that just like in previous years, the family would have a simple meal in the evening without any special preparation.
The old man probably knew his eldest grandson's temperament, so he didn't act on his own initiative.
However, the old man sighed inwardly when he saw his grandson looking like he didn't care about anything.
It would be great if my grandson-in-law was here, she would know the cold and the hot, and wouldn't let Shao Heng be alone like this on his birthday.
The family is not prosperous, and the Qin family has never had a habit of letting collateral relatives live in the family's mansion.
Therefore, the house is never very lively, and during the holidays, it seems even more deserted.
Charlotte ate her portion of food silently, knowing Qin Shaoyang a little more in her heart.
It's hard to tell, but this kid's other abilities are not that great, but he does have some talent for acting.
He was obviously preparing the most vigorously in private, but on the surface he pretended that nothing happened and looked quite presentable.
It has only been more than a year, but he has gradually managed not to show his emotions, and he can still fool his grandfather a few times.
She originally thought that the birthday surprise would probably be revealed in front of Mr. Qin and Qin Shaoheng.
It turned out that she looked down on people. This young master Qin was also good at acting. He played the role of the heartless playboy who didn't care about his brother's birthday very vividly and brilliantly.
It's neither exaggerated nor pretentious, just simple and natural.
After lunch, Charlotte began to prepare for the birthday party in the evening.
Standing in the kitchen, looking at the dazzling pile of ingredients in front of her, Charlotte had really... mixed emotions.
"So, in order to create a surprise, I will cook all the dishes on this table?" Charlotte asked confirmingly.
Qin Shaoyang nodded naturally: "What if I make it? Are you willing to eat it?"
He has never cooked before! Even if he volunteers to play, can the food he makes be eaten?
Charlotte: "..." There is an uncivilized language that I don't know whether to say or not.
Qin Shaoyang pulled the big lobster in front of him. This thing was just shipped this morning and was very fresh.
He deliberately kept it in water just so that it could be cooked fresh on the spot.
Not only the lobster, but also all the other ingredients, Qin Shaoyang chose the best.
Just kidding, for his brother’s birthday banquet, even if it’s a simple meal for his family, the quality of the ingredients will definitely not be inferior.
