One day, her best friend rushed over, holding her phone as if something major had happened: Zhen Tian, your man is on a matchmaking website!
Zhen Tian: ???
Another day, after attending ...
"Come on, give me a red envelope, give me a red envelope."
Yang Tao searched herself thoroughly and finally took out two bright red envelopes with the words "Good Fortune" written on them from her denim jacket.
"One for each of you." Yang Tao half-squatted down, holding up the red envelopes in front of the two children.
Huo Ying snatched it away, saying, "Thank you, godmother."
At this point, she no longer cared about what her godmother did or whether she could eat her.
Huo Xiao glanced at Ye Qingyan, and only after his mother nodded did he scratch his head, walk up and accept the red envelope: "Thank you, godmother."
"Good boy/girl." Yang Tao patted each of them on the head.
"I've prepared one too." Yuan Yuan also took out her bag, but her red envelope wasn't Yang Tao's old-fashioned one; it had a cartoonish red envelope pattern on it.
"Thank you, godmother," the two children said again.
Yang Tao glanced at the original red envelope and then looked at herself: "You're a bit cunning. You made such a cute red envelope and didn't even tell me."
"How was I supposed to know you'd do something so old-fashioned?"
"I found this in the office. We all use these, so what? It's a classic."
Zhen Tian looked around and touched her face: "I didn't give a red envelope."
"It's alright, you've already given me such an expensive car." Ye Qingyan patted the flashy red sports car.
“Yeah, your car is worth way more than our red envelopes,” Yang Tao said casually.
"I'll use gifts instead of red envelopes," Zhen Tian said, beckoning to the group, "Come out and get your things from me."
"What else are you going to bring?"
Zhen Tian opened the carriage door, and inside were toy packaging bags that were still intact and untouched.
"So many? Did you rob a toy store?" Yang Tao exclaimed in shock.
“No, it’s still her boyfriend.” Zhen Tian pointed at Yuan Yuan: “He went to rob a place with another guy.”
"Tsk tsk tsk." Yang Tao carried a bag in each hand: "You know, as an older brother, I think Lu Lin is impeccable, but as a husband..."
She only said half of what she meant.
"What's wrong with being a husband?" Yuan Yuan glanced at her, then picked up two bags and walked into the house.
"It's so upsetting. You've bought so many things for your sister and spent so much money. Are you angry or not? Even if you're not angry, it's still upsetting. A man's heart is only so big, and it's also holding a sister."
"It's not appropriate to be angry, after all, she's your own sister. If you get angry, it's just being immature."
Yang Tao became increasingly upset the more she thought about it.
“Oh, don’t forget, your boyfriend also has a younger sister, and coincidentally, this sister is a single person.” Yuan Yuan’s tone was completely flat: “Moreover, he’s a sister-obsessed guy just like Lu Lin.”
Yang Tao's words caught in her throat.
Oh my god!
She had almost forgotten.
Her boyfriend is also Sweetie!
“Despair…” Yang Tao sighed to the sky.
"Besides, I'm willing to spend money on Tian Tian." Yuan Yuan put the things away, and the two little ones had already crowded around to see what they were: "Even if Lu Lin doesn't buy them, I will."
Sweetie and Qingyan meant something different to her; they were friends who accompanied her through the most difficult years, so what was a little money to them?
"It's better than spending money on other women, right?"
"Lu Lin has a dog outside?" Yang Tao was shocked.
"simile."
"Oh." Yang Tao nodded. "That's true."
"What is it? Don't worry, one day when you've all married into my family, I'll return all the money to you in big red envelopes."
"Then you'd better pack a bigger one," Yang Tao teased her.
"Are you bullying me because I didn't marry into your family?" Ye Qingyan rolled her eyes.
"You'll get your share." Zhen Tian chuckled, beckoning to the two children, "Come here to your godmother, see which one you like?"
Zhen Tian opened the outer packaging, revealing the transparent box inside.
There are dolls and playhouses that girls like, and remote-controlled Lego cars that boys like.
It has everything, and a wide variety of products.
"Can I like either of them?" Huo Ying tilted her head back and held Zhen Tian's clothes very affectionately, her little head almost resting on Zhen Tian's lap.
"Of course, which one does Sakura like?"
"I like them all." The child's innocent voice elicited laughter from everyone.
"Then they're all yours."
“But my brother doesn’t have any…” Huo Ying looked at the toys again: “Why don’t we share some with my brother? Then I can play with his toys.”
"So which one are you planning to give to your brother?" Yang Tao teased her.
“This,” she pointed to the Lego set, “my brother likes it.”
"Sakura's so well-behaved." Harazono also bent down and touched the top of her head: "Does your brother agree?"
Huo Xiao pursed her lips, glancing at the toy car again, and nodded reluctantly.
The adults all saw through his little scheme, and Ye Qingyan was about to speak.
Huo Ying then returned the toy car to her brother, saying, "Can I give this to you too, brother? I don't like cars..."
What she said also had a hint of something in front of her; her small eyes looked at the car with reluctance.
Huo Xiao was overjoyed and immediately broke into a smile.
“Sure, of course.” Zhen Tian pushed the car in front of Huo Xiao again.
"Can you take Yingying to play with me, brother?" Huo Ying stared at Huo Xiao and crawled toward him.
"I said we're leaving, so you're not allowed to climb," Ye Qingyan reprimanded again.
"She's just a kid, don't worry about it so much," Zhen Tian said with a smile, trying to stop her.
Huo Xiao thought for a long time and then nodded.
Children will be children after all; the two of them made up and sat there unpacking the toy car.
Finally, they agreed that Huo Ying's doll would ride Huo Xiao's toy car around the house.
The two children were also making a ruckus inside the house.
They bump into things here and there, but the kids don't seem to mind the pain. They don't complain about the bumps and bruises; they just keep playing wildly.
The furniture in the house, however, was damaged.
Some things fell out of the cabinets and shelves, making a mess of the whole room.
Ye Qingyan covered her head: "See? I can't even look away for a second."
"Isn't it normal for children to be noisy and run around?" Yuan Yuan may seem aloof, but among all these people, she is the one who loves children the most and is the most patient with them.
"Try doing this every day." Ye Qingyan sighed, utterly lifeless. "I dream of having a child like Xiaonuan. Obedient and without any worries."
“They each have their own merits. And both of your children are so well-behaved; you’ll be able to enjoy life when they grow up.” Yang Tao patted her shoulder.
"I hope so. I just hope Huo Xiao will show some promise."
"Don't force yourself to study. Think about yourself. You're not a good student, but you're still doing well."
"Who said we were studying?" Ye Qingyan glanced at Yang Tao.
"What's that?"
"Have some guts and bring Xiao Nuan home to be my daughter-in-law."
Zhen Tian: "..."
“You’re overthinking it.” Yuan Yuan curled her lips. “Have you forgotten that there’s still Brother Ji over there? It won’t be easy for Huo Xiao to get past Brother Ji.”
"No, don't you think the child is so young? Isn't it too early to be thinking about this?"
