half thorns, half joy

Seeing that Zhao Suizhi was crying, Xiao Yuebai seemed to realize that she might have said something wrong, so she quickly got off Tang Xuan's lap and hugged Zhao Suizhi's knee.

"Grandma." He whispered flatteringly.

Zhao Suizhi was brought back to her senses by the call, she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hugged Xiao Yuebai into her arms with a smile.

"Baby." Zhao Suizhi felt overwhelmed, she never thought that she would be moved to tears by her little grandson, moreover, in front of her son and daughter-in-law.

But after hearing Xiao Yuebai's serious words just now, Zhao Suizhi's heart, which had been cold for a long time, suddenly warmed up.

She hugged Xiao Yuebai tightly, and rubbed her chin on Xiao Yuebai's forehead again and again, finally took a deep breath, forced back all the tears, and said with a smile: "Baby is so good, you are indeed grandma's baby."

Seeing that grandma smiled again, Xiao Yuebai felt relieved.

He smiled at Zhao Suizhi, showing two small canine teeth and acting coquettishly: "Grandma, am I the most obedient?"

"Yes, Xiao Yuebai is the most obedient." Zhao Suizhi repeated.

In this extremely warm atmosphere, Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan looked at each other. The episode just now made both of them feel a little bit emotional.

After Xiao Mingyuan left, Zhao Suizhi collapsed for a while, and later when he learned that he had a grandson, he devoted almost all of his physical and mental attention to this child.

She devoted more effort to Xiao Yuebai than Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan combined.

That's why Xiao Yuebai said such things now, and she was more partial to grandma.But for Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan, this was not a bad thing.

Xiao Yuebai knew how to repay Zhao Suizhi in this way, which showed that Zhao Suizhi taught Xiao Yuebai well, and Xiao Yuebai was already sensible.

But Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan also had to reflect on whether they were a little careless as parents when it came to taking care of Xiao Yuebai?

On a deeper level, as son and daughter-in-law, do they care too little for Zhao Suizhi?
Unlike Zhao Suizhi's emotion, Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan who were sitting next to each other began to reflect on their own problems.

Such a silent and dignified atmosphere lasted for more than ten minutes, and was finally broken by the nanny who came to call for dinner.

Xiao Zihan stood up on his knees, and said, "Alright then, let's get ready for dinner. Before dinner, I'll go and offer incense sticks to Dad."

"I'll go with you." Zhao Suizhi also stood up holding Xiao Yuebai.

Tang Xuan sat silently, Xiao Zihan and Zhao Suizhi also tacitly did not call Tang Xuan, each of them carried a child, and went upstairs to offer incense in front of Xiao Mingyuan's memorial tablet.

Naturally, the nanny knew about the Xiao family's situation. Seeing Tang Xuan sitting there motionless and not following her upstairs, she knew it well and kept her mouth shut.

Although Tang Xuan got along very well with Zhao Suizhi now and did not bring up the hatred in the past, she still couldn't forgive Xiao Mingyuan.

Therefore, she was unwilling to go upstairs to offer incense to Xiao Mingyuan.

And because Xiao Zihan and Zhao Suizhi knew this, they didn't force Tang Xuan, let alone say unnecessary words to make Tang Xuan unhappy.

This kind of thoughtfulness and tolerance made Tang Xuan, who was sitting still, a little embarrassed.

It only took a few minutes to burn the incense, and while Tang Xuan was still sitting and thinking wildly, Zhao Suizhi and Xiao Zihan had already come down from upstairs.

"Okay, let's have dinner." Xiao Zihan said to Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan nodded, stood up and walked into the restaurant side by side with Xiao Zihan.

Because it was a New Year's Eve dinner, Xiao Zihan didn't ask the nannies to stand aside to serve, but let them all go to the table, and everyone sat down to eat together.

The table is big enough so you don't have to worry about not being able to sit down.

Before eating, Xiao Zihan took out a stack of red envelopes from his suit pocket and handed them out one by one. Even Zhao Suizhi and Tang Xuan each received one.

"Thank you, master." The nannies happily touched the thick red envelopes and couldn't stop thanking them.

This is also one of the reasons why they didn't go back to celebrate the New Year. Xiao Zihan was generous, and the New Year's money he gave was higher than a month's salary. Who wouldn't want this New Year's money?

Zhao Suizhi stuffed the red envelopes into Xiao Yuebai's hands, and said to Xiao Zihan, "You can just give them red envelopes. What can you wrap for me? I'm getting old, so what do you want your red envelopes for?"

But Xiao Zihan said: "It's a good idea. Besides, Mom, after you transfer it to Yuebai, won't Yuebai have two copies?"

"It's not two, it's three." Zhao Suizhi looked at this child now, loving him more and more. She patted the back of Xiao Yuebai's hand and said with a kind smile, "Grandma will wrap you a big one later." Red envelope."

Xiao Yuebai, who was still young and had no idea about money, didn't know what to do with this red envelope, but he saw that other people were very happy to receive the red envelope, so he thought it should be a good thing.

So, he also laughed happily.

"Thank you grandma!"

Zhao Suizhi was elated when she was called. Her feelings for Xiao Yuebai were different from those for the little baby. During her most difficult period, it was her love for this little grandson that supported her to come through.

Now seeing that this little grandson is so obedient and has lived up to his own intentions, he feels more and more precious about this relationship.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if she is asked to sacrifice her life for Xiao Yuebai now, she will not hesitate and is completely willing.

"Come, come, eat, let's watch the fireworks after eating."

Nowadays, fireworks are not allowed in urban areas, and the fireworks control is because of fear of setting off fireworks privately and causing fires.

After all, with so many wires and such a dense population in the city, one dare not take risks casually.

But people's love for fireworks is extremely powerful, and people's thoughts cannot be completely cut off because of regulations.

Therefore, the city will organize a firework show. On New Year's Eve, in conjunction with the Spring Festival Gala, fireworks will be set off for half an hour.

Xiao Zihan's villa is built in the suburbs and on the middle of the mountain, which is a very suitable location for watching fireworks.

The whole family had a lively New Year's Eve dinner and drank some red wine before crowding around to watch the fireworks on the balcony.

Zhao Suizhi was worried that the cool night wind would damage the baby, so he specially took another small blanket, wrapped it around the baby, and let Xiao Zihan hold it.

As for Xiao Yuebai, he held Zhao Suizhi's fingers tightly from the beginning to the end, as if he was fulfilling his promise to love grandma.

At 07:30, the fireworks show begins.

With a whoosh, the golden light beam rushed into the boundless sky, and then exploded under the dark sky, jumping into countless purple light beams, and the light beams crackled and exploded again, blasting into small flowers and patterns.

"Ah, it's so beautiful." Tang Xuan expressed her sincere admiration.

This was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, beams of golden light shot up to the sky, intersecting intricately and blooming. The originally dark sky was ignited into colors by the bursting fireworks.

Except for Xiao Zihan, who doesn't have much interest in fireworks, everyone else was stunned, staring at the beautiful flowers that seemed to be far away in the sky, but seemed to be close in front of them, and couldn't say a complete sentence with emotion. .

The fireworks went off for nearly half an hour before they gradually dissipated.

Tang Xuan shook her head and said longingly, "It would be more fun if I could set off the fireworks myself."

After hearing this sentence, Xiao Zihan asked, "Do you want to play it now? If you want to play it now, I can..."

"I don't want to right now." Tang Xuan interrupted Xiao Zihan's words without hesitation, and said with a suppressed smile, "No matter what you listen to me, you can see that the wind is the rain. I'm just expressing my thoughts. I didn't think I would set off the fireworks now. .”

Really, Xiao Zihan was always so anxious, every time she expressed her desire for something, Xiao Zihan acted as if he was going to fulfill it for her immediately, so she didn't dare to say it.

Zhao Suizhi, who was holding Xiaoyuebai's hand, leaned over and hugged Xiaoyuebai, and joked with a smile: "Zihan, I see you are getting more and more ears.

Xiao Zihan frowned, seemingly puzzled, "Rake your ears?"

Zhao Suizhi didn't explain much, and walked out of the balcony with Xiao Yuebai in his arms. There was a smile on her face and mouth, it could be seen that she was in a really good mood today.

Tang Xuan knew the meaning of "raking ears", but she was too embarrassed to tell Xiao Zihan.

And because it was Chinese New Year, we just had a New Year's Eve dinner together, and the nanny was much more courageous than usual. Seeing that Xiao Zihan was confused, she took the initiative to speak up without waiting for Xiao Zihan to ask.

"Master, 'rake ears' is our dialect, which means henpecked!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting to see Xiao Zihan's reaction, he ran out of the balcony laughing.

Suddenly, only Xiao Zihan, Tang Xuan, and the baby in Xiao Zihan's arms were left on the previously crowded balcony.

Tang Xuan didn't think Xiao Zihan was afraid of his wife, in her opinion, Xiao Zihan was just caring for her.

After all, it was not an easy journey for her and Xiao Zihan. The two almost lost each other forever several times. After such an experience, of course they will cherish it more.

"They were joking, don't worry about it." Tang Xuan smiled and patted Xiao Zihan's shoulder.

Xiao Zihan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "If you rake your ears, what's wrong with that?"

Tang Xuan: "..."

Xiao Zihan continued to say to himself: "Anyway, I think it's pretty good. Who stipulates that a man must be the master of the house. If I can, I'd like to be the husband of the house."

Tang Xuan: "..." If you were a house husband, then our whole family should order takeout every day.

cough cough.

I'm really not ashamed, the head of the dignified Xiao Group, if the employees of his company hear such a thing, what prestige is there?

In order to prevent this guy from saying more exaggerated words, Tang Xuan pushed Xiao Zihan out of the balcony: "Okay, let's go back. There is a cool breeze here. It's not good for the baby to blow too much."

"Ah, then go back quickly."

It seemed that Xiao Zihan hadn't noticed what Tang Xuan was really thinking.

The two walked out with the baby in their arms, only to find that the baby had fallen asleep in the corridor.

At this moment, Zhao Suizhi led Xiao Yuebai over, and said to Xiao Zihan, "Give me the child, I will go with the nanny to wash them, and then go to bed. Look, the two children are very sleepy." .”

Although it is Chinese New Year, the child is really young. Although Xiao Yuebai is a big kid, she has always gone to bed on time at [-] o'clock in the evening, and now she has begun to feel confused.

Xiao Zihan carried the child into the nursery and put the child in the crib.

Afterwards, they left the nursery with Tang Xuan.

"Do you want to go downstairs and watch the Spring Festival Gala with Aunt Wang and the others?" Xiao Zihan asked Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan shook her head, "It's better not to, they are more comfortable staying together, if we two go down, they will be restrained."

Xiao Zihan nodded: "I think so too. Then..."

"Let's just watch the Spring Festival Gala in the bedroom." Tang Xuan suggested, "It's the same on the computer. Anyway, it's just listening to a familiar voice."

Xiao Zihan had no objection.

After entering the bedroom, the two of them went to bed and got under the covers. The computer was placed on Xiao Zihan's lap, and Tang Xuan leaned on Xiao Zihan's shoulder.

After singing and dancing, it was a skit. Tang Xuan giggled as she looked at the comical appearance of the woman pulling the man's collar and trying to explain in the skit.

She laughed and trembled all over, completely unaware that Xiao Zihan, who was hugging her, tightened his arms little by little.

"Haha, how silly." Tang Xuan commented while laughing.

However, the next second, the computer in front of her was suddenly taken away.

Tang Xuan looked at Xiao Zihan in confusion, "Hey, why are you suddenly..."

It's just that before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Zihan's kiss had already fallen.

At this moment, Tang Xuan was raising her head, and because she was talking, she opened her mouth...

then……
