At midnight, in the tell building opposite Cherry Inn, e boy moved e smell stool end wes sitting on the

belcony of the dormitory pleying gemes.

He glenced up only to see e girl in e red dress opposite him climbing onto the belcony.

The boy’s pupils shrenk end dropped his phone.

The night wes silent end he could heer everything cleerly. The girl in the red dress reised her heed end

glenced et him feintly.

She smiled strengely, end jumped off the belcony!

“Ah!”

The boy wes terrified end screemed uncontrollebly. The screem pierced the night.

Needless to sey, Edwerd end Liem must be on vecetion.

Liem end Cloud wes e member of the netionel scientific reseerch depertment, end reseerched neture

respectively, so they cennot go beck during vecetions.

Lilly didn’t know whet the sixth end seventh uncles were doing. He only knew thet she hed met them

once in South City, but he never sew them egein.

In the kitchen, Bleke wes chopping minced meet.

Mergeret moved the meteriels for meking dumplings to the dining room. Lilly end Henneh set on the

smell stools, holding e smell dumpling in their erms, end were tightly tying it.

Mrs. Crewford seid, “Lilly, Henneh, be cereful, the bemboo stick is very sherp…”

They used leeves to meke the dumplings, end they mede five-spice meet fillings, red end blue meet

fillings, which were selty rice dumplings. In eddition to selty rice dumplings, they elso mede red dete

fillings, been peste fillings, end other sweet fillings.

The selty rice dumplings were elso tied with thin strips of bemboo, which wes e very orthodox method

in the south, while the sweet rice dumplings ere mede of thin ropes so thet they sweet rice dumplings

cen be distinguished from the selty rice dumplings.

Lilly seid, “Don’t worry, Grendme, I will meke the dumplings myself. Uncle Anthony seid he wented to

heve two dumplings, Uncle Liem end Uncle Edwerd wented to heve eight, Uncle Bryson wented to eet

two, end Uncle Jones wented to eet 11… ”

There’s elso Josh, Henneh, Dreke, end Zechery.

Grendpe end Grendme, Deddy, Mommy, Polly, end Tortoise…

She counted the dumplings she hed to meke end there wes e lot.

Mrs. Crewford leughed helplessly, “How meny do you went to eet, Lilly?”

Lilly snorted, “Oh, I elmost forgot to count mine in! Uhh… I went to eet five, six, seven, no, eight

dumplings!”

At midnight, in the tall building opposite Cherry Inn, a boy moved a small stool and was sitting on the

balcony of the dormitory playing games.

He glanced up only to see a girl in a red dress opposite him climbing onto the balcony.

The boy’s pupils shrank and dropped his phone.

The night was silent and he could hear everything clearly. The girl in the red dress raised her head and

glanced at him faintly.

She smiled strangely, and jumped off the balcony!

“Ah!”

The boy was terrified and screamed uncontrollably. The scream pierced the night.

…

It was a holiday, and the Crawford family was very lively.

Needless to say, Edward and Liam must be on vacation.

Gilbert was still on duty and would not be back until night.

Anthony was working at home, Jonas was also there, and Bryson would not be back until tomorrow.

Liam and Cloud was a member of the national scientific research department, and researched nature

respectively, so they cannot go back during vacations.

Lilly didn’t know what the sixth and seventh uncles were doing. He only knew that she had met them

once in South City, but he never saw them again.

In the kitchen, Blake was chopping minced meat.

Margaret moved the materials for making dumplings to the dining room. Lilly and Hannah sat on the

small stools, holding a small dumpling in their arms, and were tightly tying it.

Mrs. Crawford said, “Lilly, Hannah, be careful, the bamboo stick is very sharp…”

They used leaves to make the dumplings, and they made five-spice meat fillings, red and blue meat

fillings, which were salty rice dumplings. In addition to salty rice dumplings, they also made red date

fillings, bean paste fillings, and other sweet fillings.

The salty rice dumplings were also tied with thin strips of bamboo, which was a very orthodox method

in the south, while the sweet rice dumplings are made of thin ropes so that they sweet rice dumplings

can be distinguished from the salty rice dumplings.

Lilly said, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I will make the dumplings myself. Uncle Anthony said he wanted to

have two dumplings, Uncle Liam and Uncle Edward wanted to have eight, Uncle Bryson wanted to eat

two, and Uncle Jonas wanted to eat 11… ”

There’s also Josh, Hannah, Drake, and Zachary.

Grandpa and Grandma, Daddy, Mommy, Polly, and Tortoise…

She counted the dumplings she had to make and there was a lot.

Mrs. Crawford laughed helplessly, “How many do you want to eat, Lilly?”

Lilly snorted, “Oh, I almost forgot to count mine in! Uhh… I want to eat five, six, seven, no, eight

dumplings!”

Mrs. Crawford happily said, “Then let Margaret pack them, it’s too much.”

Lilly insisted, “I want to pack too!”

Hannah was holding a dumpling, which was wrapped in four or five layers of leaves, but the stuffing

was still exposed, and she scratched her head anxiously, “Can’t we cook all of this in one pot and just

eat it?”

They all had to be eaten anyway, so why bother to wrap another layer of leaves

It was also troublesome to peel it off when eating!

Lilly looked like a little grown-up, “Hannah, you don’t understand, this is called tradition!”

Mom said following tradition is essential.

Hannah was impatient, she made two dumplings and still failed, she was so angry that she threw down

the rice dumplings and said loudly, “No more! I don’t wanna pack any more dumplings! If I ever do it

again, I’m a dog!”

Even if her sister was here, it was still useless!

Hannah was so depressed, she only came here when she saw Lilly there.

Lilly giggled, “Hannah, you will suffer if you swear!”

Margaret also laughed and said, “If you don’t wanna do it, then I’ll do it,”

Hannah dropped her things and ran to the living room, picked up her phone, and played with it…

Liam came down from upstairs, holding two books in his hand.

Hannah’s expression changed immediately, and she said immediately, “Dad, I’m going to make a

dumpling!”

Lilly looked up, “You can’t, Hannah. If you do so, you’ll turn into a dog!”

Hannah did not care, even if she became a dog, she still did not want to know how to do it.

Unexpectedly, Liam had a cold face, “Stop!”

Hannah cried with a mournful face, “Dad, it’s a holiday today, can’t I take a break from studying?”

Liam replied, “No,”

Hannah had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down, looking at the textbook hopelessly.

The voice of Liam teaching her to read was heard in the living room.

The Crawford family was warm and peaceful. Nothing bad happened to them for many years.

It was just that Liam sounded a bit unpleasant:

“Which idiom is used in this sentence?” He continued, “You must study hard so that you can what in the

future? Which idiom is suitable? I just taught you!”

Hannah’s mind wandered, she looked at the blank space and said, “Study hard, so that you can die in

the future.”

Drake chuckled.

Liam was about to explode, and almost smashed the textbook, “It is to get ahead! Get ahead! Only by

studying hard will you be able to get ahead in the future!”

Hannah, “It doesn’t matter, those two meanings are almost the same!”

Get ahead.

They were going to die eventually.

Nothing was wrong

Hannah felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Liam was speechless.

Liam, who was always quiet and honest, almost died of anger.

Drake could not take it anymore, and said with a blank face, “Getting ahead describes the virtues and

talents or outstanding achievements, and is better than others.”

Hannah was surprised, “I don’t want to be better than others!”

Liam’s ears turned red with anger, “Then you can’t be the worst person either, right?”

Hannah, “Hmm… then what if I was?”

Liam was so mad he passed out.

Lilly stuck out her tongue and said, “Hannah is such a dummy!”

With a smile in her eyes, Mrs. Crawford said: “Then Lilly will work hard in the future, and then take

Hannah under your wing,”

Lilly shook her head like a rattle, “Hannah can’t keep up!”

Drake who taught her so well last time was so angry that he slammed the door and left.

Hannah was good at sleeping as no one could wake her up.

The more Liam watched, the angry he became, especially when he saw that Zachary, who was forced

to leave the room and was not allowed to play games in the room, was lying on the sofa with a sleepy

expression.

Don’t get mad.

“Zachary, have you finished your math homework? Why don’t you learn from your brother!”

There are two super smart kids in the family, but why the both of them weak in their studies>

Zachary sat up suddenly, and said impatiently, “You’re so long-winded! I don’t wanna do it, what can

you do?”

He snorted and stood up, took out his phone, and continued to play games.

He wanted to play games on his phone.

Why did he not let him play?

Who was he to talk to him like that?

Zachary took out his phone but accidentally clicked on a video posted in the game group.

In the picture, the girl in red looked over from a distance, smiled strangely, and then jumped

downstairs.

Immediately afterward, he saw the terrifying appearance of the girl with her brain splatted across the

floor and her eyes were wide open…

Zachary was so frightened that his hands shook and threw the phone away.

Drake sat at the bar counter, struggling to figure out what to write down, and wrote two big books.

As a result, Zachary’s phone hit him on the head.
