At the dinner table when Xiu placed the steamed dumplings, she even told everyone, "These ones are made by our family's little helpers. Aren't they such sweethearts?"
"Oh, this one is made by my grandkids," asked Xin Zimen as he looked enthusiastically at the strangely shaped dumplings. But his expressions didn't change at all. In fact, he stared at them lovingly as he said, "I need to give these a try." He took one and ate it without any hesitation. "Mmm... This is delicious. It seems I need to add a reward with this year's red envelopes."??
Not only him, everyone gushed over those dumplings. For a moment it felt like the ones made by Xiu had lost favor but did she care? Hell no! She was more than pleased to see how these kids were happy just hearing all these compliments. And their ?h?sts puffed up in pride. How adorable!
It was just this easy to please the kids. Who would have known that the kids were so simple?
Xiu also sat down to enjoy dinner with everyone. For today, she didn't have to pay attention to her son at all and could concentrate on eating her own meal. After all, today there were so many people who were more than eager to take care of Rowan.
After the dinner, they all gathered in the lounge. Although the tv was turned on to watch the Spring Festival Gala, not a single person was paying attention. As they all gathered after so long, they had plenty to talk about.
"Weiwei, since next year it's your turn to host the new year's dinner, make sure you bring home your daughter-in-law by then," said Zhao Huan.
"Jie, you don't need to remind me," said Zhao Wei. "If it's in my hands, I'll just take my daughter-in-law home right now."
"So simple?" asked Xiu. "How can I let you take Cali so simply?" She looked at Dylan and she warned him, "You made a whole show when you're proposing her. You better make it worth it for the wedding ceremony."
"Don't worry, boss! I'll hire you to be my wedding planner!" said Dylan.
"I'm quite expensive," said Xiu.
"There is no problem with that," Dylan also joined her to play along.
"Since Xiu is the wedding planner," started Nora. "How about I throw you a bachelor's party? Want one?"
Dylan found something odd with Nora's expression and he really didn't want to agree. He knew it was a trap. It had to be a trap. But he couldn't say no on this occasion as well. Nora definitely brought up this topic at this time because she knew it'd be impossible for him to escape.
"Sure. Let Nora do it. She is really good at throwing parties," said Zhao Wei. "Since you all are managing it. I can relax. My only job is to take my daughter-in-law shopping, right?"
"Don't forget Nora when it comes to shopping," reminded Ying.
"Ying Jie, you don't worry. Even if I missed the chance to shop for Cali, I won't miss it for you. I'll take you around shopping myself."
Ying shuddered at the thought of going shopping with Nora. She didn't know how much Nora changed while she was away but she didn't believe her shopaholic nature changed. And if that didn't change it meant that Nora would drag her around shops so much that she'd even lose the energy to walk down the aisle.
She didn't want to experience that. Not at all!
"Mom, when are you giving me my red envelope?" asked Nora as she sat down close to her mom.
"Even the kids didn't ask that question yet," said Clara in disdain. "How can you be so shameless to bring it up?"
Nora pouted at her, "Leave the kids aside. Focus on your baby girl instead."
Clara knocked on her head, "My baby girl is already married and is also a mother of a baby girl."
"So? That doesn't change the fact that I'm your baby girl. And when you're around, I'll always be a kid," said Nora cheekily. "Right, dad?"
How could Jing Ge not agree with his daughter? "Of course, my baby girl is right. She will always be my baby girl."
Nora grinned at him and hugged his shoulder happily.
"Zizi, since I didn't get any red envelopes in the past years. Am I gonna get all of them now?" Ying also went to paster Xin Zimen for the red envelopes. Who would say no to money? And only an idiot would leave the chance to get more money! Especially, since it's free!
Xin Zimen touched her head, "Yes, I collected all your red envelopes. When Xixi was even here last year, I didn't give the envelopes to her. I am keeping them all for you. You can take them whenever you want."
"Zizi, you're love!" said Ying.
"Why is everyone so eager for money today?" asked Xiu. She turned to her father and said, "Father, you promised me something."
Xin Zemin shook his head helplessly and indulgently before he took out a small box for her. "And how can I forget the promise I made to you."
Xiu opened it and looked at the thing inside. Her eyes brightened. "This is so beautiful!"
"As long as you like it," said Xin Zemin dotingly.
"Momma, look! Look! Look at the tv!" Rowan's voice made everyone look towards the tv screen.
"What is there, little tiger?" asked Xiu.
Rowan pouted, "There was Xiao Bobo. He is gone now." He looked so sad.
Xiu went up to sit on the carpet beside her son and told him, "Xiao Bobo will be on stage soon. Then the cameraman won't dare move the camera anywhere else." She figured that camera must have momentarily caught sight of Han Bohai sitting in the audience and that's why her son was so excited but when the camera moved, he was sad.
"Momma, when will Xiao Bobo come on stage?" asked Rowan.
Xiu looked at the time and said, "Just in a while. Soon, it's his turn to perform."
