Offer To The CEO

Sunday, continued …

Hearing that her husband wanted to target their son, Du AnLing could only smile. He was really relaxing and enjoying himself. This, for Du AnLing looked well for when their grandchild was born. Kissing her husband Du AnLing said "Just be careful," and she headed towards her daughter-in-law.

While his wife headed towards Anna, Hou Jang, quietly headed towards where the ice was, and as he picked up a piece of ice, he heard this quite little girl's voice behind him saying "Grandpa Hou, what are you going to do?"

Turning around, he realised it was Anna's niece Hannah. He carefully bent down and said "I am joining to join in the fun with your mummy and daddy and uncles and aunts and put a piece of ice down your Uncle Yi's back. Do you want to help me?"

Giggling, Hannah responded in a conspiratorial tone "Yes Grandpa Hou. But I want to put my own piece down Uncle Yi's back. Seeing his face when Uncle Ben did it was so funny. I also want to put a piece down Uncle Adam's back as well. He was mean to Aunty Anna, so he deserves it."

Hou Jang, looked directly at Hannah, and hoped the same qualities that he could already see in her, a strong determined girl, beautiful and charming, just like her aunt would be the same in any of his granddaughters that Anna and Hou Yi blessed him with.

He carefully helped Hannah get her piece of ice, and they moved over to where the adults where. He whispered to Hannah "I will put the ice down your Uncle Yi's back first, and then you can use that to get your Uncle Adam." Hannah nodded, as unlike her Poppy Jones, Grandpa Hou was fun and joined in things with her.

Hou Jang, snuck in behind his son, and as he slipped the piece of ice down his shirt said "Son, I told you the other day with your lecture revenge is a dish best served cold..."

Hearing that, Anna's family stopped and looked at Hou Yi and Hou Jang, before laughing. Realising that her Uncle Adam was distracted, Hannah pulled Adam's hand and said "Uncle Adam ..."

Realising that Hannah wanted his attention, Adam came down to her level, and as she gave him a hug, he felt ice go down his back. As he pulled slightly back, he saw Hannah with a smile on her face, and knew that he had been gotten. "Hannah, Hannah, did you and your Uncle Yi's dad plan something?"

"What do you think Uncle Adam, you are so dumb, and fell for it," came a giggling response from Hannah, with a sweet smile on her face.

All Adam could do was shake his head. This little girl was so much like his sisters, able to have a pure and innocent face to everyone, could be a real little devil. He had to admit that he had been gotten good by her, and there was no way that he could take his revenge.

Adam turned back and saw that the ice down the backs had stopped, but people were moving towards the area where they had set up games to be played. He knew that some guests would be happy moving around the farm, but others would want to play some games, and others were already settling in to watch the football game on the television.

Turning he observed, his brother-in-law's mother talking with Anna, and moved to Hou Yi, and said "Leave the women talk. Come on and join some fun with us."

"If ice down the back is your idea of fun, I am not the masochistic."

"That was for Anna. Her idea of the ice cubes down backs was a jug of them, so Ben and I were quite restrained."

All Hou Yi could do was shake his head. He had over the last few months seen the sense of humour his wife had. This time with her family for her was fun down time, and if it was not risking her or their children's health then he would let her have the fun, but join in. "As long as you promise me Adam that there will be no revenge for her actions."

"As if. We have a rule between us. One person can have their fun, either to strike or for revenge, and one it is done no one else can at the party. No limb risking, just good-natured fun lice ice down backs, swapping tomato sauce and hot sauce. We would not do it to each other."
