Eight o'clock in the morning.

Wen Shuqiao got up on time. Can Can was still sticky and drowsy, but he remembered that today was the first day of the new year. His aunt said that he should be more self-disciplined in getting up.

So when he sensed Wen Shuqiao getting up, he also dazedly got up, stood on the bed with his arms outstretched, waiting for his aunt to hug him.

Wen Shuqiao hugged him and patted his head: "Can you dress yourself? Auntie's going to cook some glutinous rice balls, how many do you want?"

Can Can buried her face in her aunt's shoulder and thought for a moment: "I want to eat six."

"Okay, how many eggs do you want to eat? Today's eggs are sweet." Wen Shuqiao smiled and pinched the back of his neck: "Wake up, baby."

Can Can grunted like a little pig, and finally whispered in Wen Shu Qiao's ear, "Then I'll eat two."

"In that case, you can't finish six glutinous rice balls. How about we eat four instead? Plus two eggs."

Can Can agreed, wrapping her chubby arms around her neck and saying affectionately, "Auntie wishes you a Happy New Year."

Wen Shuqiao turned her head and kissed his cheek: "Thank you, baby. Auntie also wishes you a healthy and happy new year. Okay, get dressed by yourself. I'm going to cook some glutinous rice balls. After we're done, we'll go out and play together."

Can Can was now fully awake, and he replied in a clingy voice, "Okay, Auntie, can you buy me a toy car? Buy my favorite one."

"We can buy one," Wen Shuqiao said. "Hurry up and get dressed, brush your teeth, wash your face, and put on some lotion."

After settling Can Can in, Wen Shu Qiao also came out of the children's room.

She hadn't closed the door properly and was about to add food and water to Milk Cake's food and water when she found that the boxes were already full, and even the litter box had been cleaned.

And the cake was gone; there was only milk, a little car, and a cat sitting on the sofa licking its paws.

"Cake?" Wen Shuqiao called out, but no puppy rushed towards her.

Hmm? Where's the puppy?

Just as they were about to go upstairs to look for it, the door opened, and Shen Jiazhou, dressed in sportswear, was holding a rein in his hand. Cake was sticking out its tongue and circling around his legs.

It turned out that Shen Jiazhou had dragged him to do morning exercises.

Shen Jia saw her as soon as she came in. Her eyes lit up slightly. She quickly changed her shoes, untied the cake's reins, grabbed two wet wipes, squatted down, and wiped the cake's feet. Before the cake could even react, its feet were already wiped clean.

Shen Jiazhou threw the wet wipes into the trash can, while Wen Shuqiao had already gone to the kitchen to prepare to cook glutinous rice balls.

He followed in his slippers and happened to see Wen Shuqiao tie her beautiful black hair into a low ponytail with a hair tie.

She reached out and turned on the tap, washed her hands, filled a pot with water, turned on the stove, and waited for the water to boil.

Shen Jiazhou stared at her figure, watching her do everything methodically, pursed his lips slightly, and walked in: "I'll cook the glutinous rice balls."

Hearing his voice, Wen Shuqiao turned her head and glanced at him: "Good morning, I'll cook."

Shen Jiazhou had already rolled up his sleeves, turned on the tap to wash his hands, picked up the scissors, and cut open the bag of glutinous rice balls. Inside were sixteen glutinous rice balls, which were pistachio flavored.

He asked, "Have you ever tried this flavor?"

Wen Shuqiao shook her head: "It seems to be a new product? Pistachios are delicious, they should be good as glutinous rice balls."

Shen Jiazhou said, "I'll cook it. I know how to cook glutinous rice balls."

It's just a matter of turning on the heat, pouring in the glutinous rice balls, stirring, and waiting for them to cook.

Seeing his eager expression, Wen Shuqiao didn't want to spoil his fun and moved aside a little: "You come here, I'll keep an eye on things for you."

The water had already started to bubble densely. Wen Shuqiao handed him the eggs in her hand: "Cancan wants to eat two boiled eggs, how many do you want?"

Shen Jiazhou opened his palm towards Wen Shuqiao, and Wen Shuqiao glanced at it before placing the egg in his palm.

A cool fingertip gently tapped Shen Jiazhou's palm. Shen Jiazhou blinked and looked down, only to find that Wen Shuqiao had already withdrawn her hand.

He said, "Boil six eggs, two for each person."

Wen Shuqiao glanced at the pot, and couldn't help but turn the heat down a bit, reminding her, "Okay, crack the eggs in. What are you waiting for?"

Shen Jiazhou said "Oh," and tapped the egg on the countertop, but he didn't control the force well and the egg shattered completely, leaving egg yolk all over his hands and some on the stove.

Are raw eggs really that fragile?

Before Shen Jiazhou could even react, Wen Shuqiao had already grabbed some kitchen paper to wipe the egg mixture off the stove, adding, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, go wash your hands."

Shen Jiazhou obediently went to the side to wash his hands, and Wen Shuqiao took his place. She quickly cracked six eggs into the pot, and after they had solidified a bit, she gently stirred them a couple of times with a spoon. Only after confirming that there was no egg residue on the bottom of the pot did she put the spoon aside.

After washing his hands thoroughly, Shen Jiazhou moved to Wen Shuqiao's side. Looking at the intact boiled eggs in the pot, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think I'm stupid?"

Wen Shuqiao gave him a strange look: "What does this have to do with whether someone is stupid or not?"

Shen Jiazhou stretched out his hand: "You're clumsy even when you're squeezing an egg, aren't you clumsy?"

Wen Shuqiao glanced at it and said helplessly, "Then am I not as good as you at making money? Am I also stupid?"

“These are completely different things,” Shen Jiazhou said.

Who dares to say Wen Shuqiao is stupid? Who dares!

Wen Shuqiao smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Then why did you say you were stupid for no reason? Don't say such things on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it's unlucky."

Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "Alright then, whatever you say. Where should we go for a stroll later?"

Wen Shuqiao stirred the pot a couple more times and said, "Pour in the glutinous rice balls."

Shen Jiazhou received the instruction and gently placed the glutinous rice balls down all at once.

Sixteen glutinous rice balls were just the right amount for the three of them.

Wen Shuqiao stirred the glutinous rice balls: "Should I add some brown sugar?"

Shen Jiazhou accurately found the brown sugar again, put in two small pieces, and the water gradually turned color.

Wen Shuqiao praised, "You're really smart, President Shen."

Shen Jiazhou: ...

Can you please stop using that coaxing tone to coax him? It sounds so strange to him.
