Paul pursed his lips and said, "A bunch of childish fools! But if that's the case, I'll have a taste too. Is it really that spicy?"

Huck laughed and said, "I definitely can't be left out!"

Everyone was laughing and joking like this, and Michael, Jonathan, Judah, and Ryan indeed didn't know the truth.

But Martin, David, and Paul had already noticed that something was wrong.

Brothers and sisters, whether they knew it or not, smoothly diverted the topic like this, without revealing any flaws.

Alana's attention was indeed diverted, and she felt that these children had all grown up, but they were still as childish as they were in their childhood.

"There's not even enough food for each of you to have a chopstick!" She was speechless, but still said, "Do you want me to stir-fry some more for you? Mr. Ji brought back quite a lot."

Susie pursed her lips and forced herself to raise her hand, saying, "No need!"

"Uncle Martin, you guys didn't cook the stir-fry enough! Ghost Grass can also be eaten raw. How about a raw eating competition?"

Uncles: "..."

At that moment, it was difficult to tell whether she was causing trouble or taking advantage of the situation...

Clara was the first to agree, "That's right! If we're going to play, let's play big. Eating cooked food is not exciting."

Michael agreed, "Sure! Your Uncle Michael is not afraid at all!"

Susie immediately brought out a large basin of ghost grass.

Alana: "..."

Fortunately, the soul-chasing grass was extremely tender, even more tender than freshly picked lettuce hearts. Although it had the word "grass" in its name, its leaves were wide and thick, similar in size to lettuce leaves.

Michael didn't care and said, "Hurry, hurry, are you all ready?"

Everyone placed the Soul-chasing Grass in front of them, and Martin placed more.

Paul and David also quietly joined in.

Michael: "Hey, you three, the older ones, do you look down on us? Are you raising the stakes?"

Susie was a little distracted and said, "Then I'll shout 'ready'!"

"Ready - Start!"

Hula-la...

Everyone buried their heads and started eating. The pungent spiciness of the Ghost Chasing Grass suddenly erupted, causing continuous coughing in the restaurant. Each person's eyes were filled with tears.

Martin's eyes turned red, and he raised his hand to press against his forehead, hiding his expression.

Paul wiped his tears with a tissue and said, "Indeed, it's really choking..."

His tears fell freely, but he smiled, and everyone looked more or less the same...

When David, who had always been silent, shed tears, he remained silent as well. He lowered his head and quietly wiped his tears with a tissue.

Tears streamed down Michael's face as he said, "Snap, it really stings!"

Judah desperately held back and said, "No, no, not spicy at all!"

He had just choked, more experienced than them, he was determined to win this round!

Ryan pressed his head, feeling a buzzing sensation in his brain, and muttered, "A bunch of scammers..."

Clara cried and laughed at the same time, saying, "You all lost! Susie, see who cried last?"

Susie grabbed the chopsticks tightly, biting her lip as she looked at this and that, muttering, "Is it really that spicy?"

She also took a bite and startled Alana, who exclaimed, "Hey hey?..."

Susie's tears also flowed down like a waterfall.

Wade quietly said on the side, "Wait a minute, I am timing, let me see who loses..."

Tears streamed down Huck's face as he laughed.

Thank you... Thank you to his sister and brothers for helping him cover up and make things solid.

Alana served Huck some food and said, "You just came back and haven't eaten much, yet you're fooling around with them! It won't be good if you get a stomachache later. Hurry up and eat!"

Huck nodded heavily, "Hmm!"

He stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, not knowing what he was eating and unable to taste the flavor. He only felt his throat being blocked heavily.

After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, it was time for the familiar tradition of filling the gaps with sesame seeds. As everyone ate and chatted, the living room was very lively.

"Ah... anything else?! Mom, please spare us!"

"Mom... I couldn't eat anymore, I really couldn't eat anymore!"

"I didn't want it, you guys can have it."

Alana happily exclaimed, "During the Chinese New Year, isn't it all about eating? You guys should eat like Scott! Right, Scott?"

The King of Security touched his belly.

Yes!

Help him up, he could eat another table.

"Yes, yes! Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I celebrated Chinese New Year," King of Security exclaimed, taking a puff of frozen pear. "Ah... refreshing!"

Ada and the others were tidying up the dining table. Alana sat down and watched TV while listening to their nonsense.

She sighed contentedly, how nice.

The family reunited.

Although Clara is not a "human", she still came back. Others may be afraid or superstitious.

But she was really satisfied.

Looking at the eight sons, each had their own strengths. Some were sitting on the sofa, working on their computers. Some were squatting on the side, playing and joking with Jamie. Some were sitting on the sofa, discussing current affairs with their grandfather. Some were whispering and chatting with Susie.

The daughter remained carefree, without the many concerns she had when she was sick, and now she is even happier.

Although the granddaughters and grandsons occasionally argued with each other, they did not fight over things and got along very lovingly.

The old man... A companion in old age is priceless, although he is often speechless, he is still by my side.

What more could one ask for, having such a family, with such children and grandchildren?
