"Brother Jing, what time is it?"

Su Tiantian, who was not fully awake yet, vaguely felt that the person holding her was about to leave, so she quickly pulled his arm. She had become accustomed to Liu Jingze hugging her while sleeping.

Liu Jingze turned on the small lamp beside the bed, looked at Su Tiantian who still had her eyes closed in the dim light, and said gently: "Sister Tiantian, it's only 5:20, you should continue to sleep."

Su Tiantian was unwilling to do so and opened her eyes drowsily: "You got up so early to send Dad and the others on their business trip, right? I want to see them off too."

Liu Jingze said gently, "You can go see Mr. Lai before nine o'clock, and you can sleep a little longer. You don't have to see Dad off, he won't mind. We are family, so why should we be so particular?"

Su Tiantian struggled to get up and said with a pout, "I have to send him off, otherwise people will laugh at your wife for being lazy."

"Others, which others? Brother Xi and the others? If they dare to laugh, I will fire them." Liu Jingze said domineeringly.

Su Tiantian threw off the quilt and got out of bed. Liu Jingze said helplessly, "Then stay with Dad and Godfather after breakfast before going to bed. Sister Tiantian, you have ten minutes to brush your teeth, wash your face, change clothes, and put on makeup."

Su Tiantian wasn't nervous at all; this was still plenty of time. "No need to put on makeup. I wouldn't put on makeup when meeting my dad and godfather."

Well, Su Tiantian is mostly without makeup at home, which is really different from her state at work.

When the five men who got up early in the morning in the lobby on the first floor saw Su Tiantian walking down the stairs with Liu Jingze's arm in hers, they were a little surprised.

It was only around 5:30 in the morning, and Su Tiantian usually wasn't up at this time. She worked in Kuozhou City and only came home on her days off. On non-workdays, she could sleep in as late as she wanted, and no one would say anything about it.

Wu Xilun, Lan Quancong, and Yun Suiyang quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Good morning, Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu."

Liu Jingze responded: "Good morning."

Su Tiantian smiled faintly and said nothing. These secretaries and assistants were always respectful and polite whenever they saw Liu Jingze. After all, they all knew that if they wanted to continue working in the Liu family's company in the future, they would have to follow this young Mr. Liu.

Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian walked up to Liu Liangjie and Liu Zhaosheng and said in unison, "Good morning, Dad and Godfather."

Liu Liangjie said kindly, "Tiantian, Jingze woke you up. Does your toothache stop today?"

Su Tiantian said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. I didn't even take any painkillers last night. I know you and your godfather are going on a business trip today, so I wanted to give you a visit."

Liu Zhaosheng said, "Then let's go have breakfast together. Sister Lan has prepared everything."

Looking at Su Tiantian who was helping him and Liu Zhaosheng to serve porridge, Liu Liangjie said, "Tiantian, sit down and have breakfast. Let me do it myself. My family doesn't have the custom of asking the daughter-in-law to get up early to serve."

Su Tiantian smiled: "Dad, how can this be considered getting up early to serve you? It's just something that happens to me. I only have breakfast with you a few times a month."

Liu Jingze said: "With Tiantian around, I feel lazy. Tiantian is virtuous and hardworking."

Sister Lan, who came out with a plate of barbecued pork buns and was about to place them on the table, had of course heard everyone talking, so she said, "There's a song here with lyrics like this: 'It's so hard to be a new bride, getting up early to talk about feasting.' Today's daughters-in-law are actually much happier than our generation."

Yun Suiyang didn't quite understand: "What do these lyrics mean?"

Liu Zhaosheng picked up a barbecued pork bun and tore off the paper at the bottom while saying, "Being a daughter-in-law is very difficult. No matter how early you get up, you're still considered late." There are a few more lines of lyrics at the end, which roughly mean that the grandparents are very critical and will either beat or scold you or make you kneel down as punishment.

"Who are the grandparents?" Yun Sui Yang was still confused and asked because he didn't understand.

Wu Xilun almost spit out the porridge in his mouth. After swallowing it, he said, "Weren't you there when Mr. Liu offered tea that day? Didn't you hear what the eldest sister-in-law said?"

Yun Suiyang's usually cold expression was a little confused at this moment.

Liu Jingze said: "Brother Xi, Ayang is not from here, he really doesn't understand."

Lan Quancong said: "Laoye Nainai refers to the father and mother of a woman's husband. For example, Mrs. Liu should call Mr. Liu Laoye. This is the custom here, which is different from your hometown."

Yun Suiyang suddenly realized it, but after thinking about it, he decided to ask clearly: "Doesn't Mrs. Liu call Mr. Liu Dad? And since I came here, I rarely hear people call him Grandpa or Grandma."

Liu Liangjie said: "Times have changed, and some customs have changed. Nowadays, wives usually follow their husbands' names. If they have children, they can follow the children's names of grandparents."

Sister Lan, who brought Su Tiantian a small plate of multi-grain cakes, said, "There are still many people who ask their daughters-in-law to call them grandpa and grandma. Mr. Liu is really tolerant of Mrs. Liu and doesn't set any rules. Unlike some families, whose family conditions are obviously not very good, they have too many rules and scold people for the smallest things."

Liu Jingze said: "Sister Lan, why does Tiantian have a separate breakfast?"

Sister Lan had worked at the Liu family for several years and was familiar with the Liu father and son. She also knew their temperaments, so she said something meaningful: "I steamed a plate specially for Mrs. Liu. You two don't usually like it. I didn't know Mrs. Liu woke up so early today, and I didn't have time to make anything else."

Liu Liangjie said jokingly, "I find that Sister Lan, you are quite partial."

Sister Lan said calmly, "The breakfast I cooked today was what you told me to do yesterday, Mr. Liu. Mrs. Liu usually has a different breakfast from you."

Liu Jingze joked, "Dad, you've only just realized how partial Sister Lan is. Yesterday morning, Sister Lan specially stewed two snow pears for Tiantian, with lotus seeds, snow fungus, and wolfberries."
