"A family party is when you invite friends to your home for dinner and chat. It's a pleasant and relaxing activity. Kids abroad will also invite their friends to their home to play at that time."
"Oh, oh, that's it."
Shin-chan nodded and looked at Mei-ya.
"But why did Mom suddenly want to hold a family party?"
After hearing Xiaoxin's question, Meiya smiled and explained: "Well, how should I put it? I just feel that our family lives the same monotonous and boring life every day."
Monotonous? Boring?
Xiao Shanyi raised his eyebrows and said, Sister Meiya, I’m afraid you have some misunderstanding about these two words.
"All in all, I think life should be a little more exciting."
Looking at Meiya's expectant look, Xiaoshan Yi's own affairs were not that simple.
Thinking of this, Xiaoshan Yi moved backwards on the tatami, and suddenly felt something blocking his hand.
Huh? What's this?
I picked it up casually and it was a magazine.
Let's have a family party together
Looking at the big words on the magazine, Xiao Shanyi's mouth twitched.
It really fits Sister Meiya's personality.
Guangzhi, who had been silent all this time, also expressed his opinion at this time.
"A family party?"
Guangzhi stroked his chin.
"It would be nice to invite that Kawaguchi guy to come over for a drink."
Meiya also clapped her hands in anticipation.
"I want to invite Ah Hui and her family."
Xiao Shanyi thought about it and said with a smile: "Then I'll invite my master's family. Is that okay, Meiya? Will there be too many people?"
"Of course it's no problem. It's more fun when there are more people."
Meiya waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.
Guangzhi looked at Xiaoshanyi teasingly.
"Not bad, Xiaoyi. This is what they call "the real purpose is not to go to the bar."
"Cough cough."
Xiao Shanyi coughed twice naturally.
"Kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone."
Xiao Xin also said coolly at this time: "Then I will invite Sister Nanako to come."
"Hey! Shin-chan, are you going to invite Nanako-senpai?"
Xiao Shanyi's eyes turned, and he deliberately leaned close to Xiao Xin's ear and said jokingly, "As far as I know, Mr. Kawaguchi is still single."
"what!"
When Shin-chan heard what Xiaoshan Yi said, the scene of Nanako and Kawaguchi having a good conversation immediately appeared in his little head.
Oh no, I actually forgot the most important thing.
"Absolutely not!!! (▼皿▼#)"
"Why are you shouting so loudly all of a sudden?"
Meiya was holding a small notebook and counting the number of people invited.
"Okay, then Xiaoxin, you invite Nanako."
"I, after thinking about it carefully, I'd better invite Sister Nanako next time."
Xiaoshan Yi smiled secretly in his heart. Xiaoxin was really naive. He actually worried about Mr. Kawaguchi.
"Hey, Shin-chan, you didn't invite Nanako?"
Meiya looked at Xiaoxin in confusion.
"Are you sure?"
Xiao Xin looked reluctant, but still gritted his teeth and nodded.
"confirmed."
"OK then."
After confirming the number of people, Meiya looked at everyone with a smile.
"Well, everyone should notify the people they invited before the weekend."
Guangzhi smiled easily.
"Don't worry, I'll just tell Kawaguchi when I go to work tomorrow. He doesn't have a girlfriend, so he'll be free the whole weekend."
Well, having no girlfriend sounds really pitiful.
Xiao Shanyi also nodded.
"I'll go to Master's house in person tomorrow to invite him."
"Okay, that's more polite."
Meiya smiled.
"I will also call Ah Hui and the others tomorrow."
"Oh, I need to go see what's in the fridge first."
Meiya hurried to the kitchen to check the ingredients.
Xiaoshan Yi looked at Xiaoxin strangely.
"Xiao Xin, even if you don't invite Nanako-senpai, you don't plan to invite Kazama and the others?"
Xiaoxin shook his head.
"That would mean there would be too many people, and they would all be adults they don't know. Kazama and the others would also be nervous, and their home is small."
Hearing what Xiaoxin said, Guangzhi immediately identified with the situation and lowered his head in frustration.
"I'm sorry, it's because my salary is too low that I can only afford such a small house."
Xiao Shanyi's mouth twitched. Brother-in-law, you get depressed too easily.
At this time, Xiao Xin continued: "And the fewer people there are, the more good things I can eat."
Speaking of this, Shin-chan covered his face happily, as if he thought of the delicious food at that time.
"Hey, what should we eat then? Fried shrimp or steak?"
Looking at the father and son, one depressed and the other excited, Xiaoshan Yi smiled.
You two really are father and son.
...............
The next day, on the way to school.
"family gathering?"
"correct."
Xiaoshan Yi looked at the somewhat surprised Kato Megumi with a smile.
"Xiao Hui, do you want to come play?"
"Ah, this...that..."
What should I do? It seems very formal. Although I have been to Xiaoyi's house before, I went there as a classmate and only a few times.
Wait! Is Xiaoyi trying to take this opportunity to formally introduce our relationship to his family?
Yes, yes, it is written in the novel that a boy who has not reached the marriageable age brings his wife, whom he has already determined to be the other half of his life, home to meet his parents, and then they get married as soon as they reach the marriageable age.
Is this what Xiaoyi meant?
The more Kato Megumi thought about it, the redder her face became.
No, no, no, maybe I'm thinking too complicated.
Kato Megumi shook her dizzy head.
She looked at Xiao Shanyi with watery eyes.
"Um, Xiao Yi..."
"Oh, by the way, don't worry, I will go to your house today and invite Master and his wife as well."
“Invite my parents!!!”
"correct."
Xiaoshan Yi looked at the dazed Kato Megumi strangely.
"Wouldn't it be more formal this way?"
Be formal!!!
Two words popped up involuntarily in Kato Megumi's mind.
Propose...propose...propose marriage!!!
No, no, no, I'm not sure yet. I must have misunderstood. Xiaoyi is not such an impatient person.
Kato Megumi asked Xiaoshan Yi weakly again.
"Xiao Yi, is there anyone else going that day?"
"There are quite a lot of people, including our family and some friends!"
A family, is it Xiaoyi’s parents? They came all the way from Kumamoto!!! And relatives and friends!!!
