Liu Jingze, wearing a burgundy shirt and black trousers, picked up the teacup with both hands and knelt respectfully on the red mat. He placed his feet together, bowed his upper body, leaned forward, and handed the teacup to Grandma Lu. He said in a loud voice, "Please have some tea, Grandma. I wish you a happy birthday, good health, and all the best."
Grandma Lu, who was sitting on a chair in red clothes, responded repeatedly with "Okay, okay," and said as she took the teacup, "Jingze, be good, get up quickly."
Wu Xilun quickly helped Liu Jingze stand up.
Today is Grandma Lu’s birthday. She is Liu Liangjie’s secretary. She has worked for many years and comes to the Liu family early in the morning every year. She is quite familiar with these rituals, so she reached out to help Liu Jingze up earlier than Liu Jingze’s secretary.
Grandma Lu drank the tea happily and handed Liu Jingze a red envelope. Liu Jingze took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, grandma."
Wu Xilun said: "Old Lady Liu still has a big red envelope to give out, and Mrs. Liu is still waiting to be served tea and sugar tea."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Auntie probably doesn't need to eat breakfast. She's full after drinking tea and eating sugar tea."
The tea and sugar tea were ready. Except for Grandma Lu who was sitting, everyone else was standing.
As soon as Su Tiantian picked up the teacup, Grandma Lu said, "No need to kneel, Jingze, just support your wife and bend over."
Liu Liangjie said: "Yes, just bend down slightly."
Both mother and son said this, and everyone present knew what was going on. It was indeed unnecessary to kneel down and serve tea when pregnant with twins.
Since her husband's grandmother and father had said so, Su Tiantian certainly would not kneel down without caring about her body. So, with the support of Liu Jingze, she bent down and handed the tea to Grandma Lu: "Please have some tea, Grandma. I wish Grandma a happy birthday, good health, and all the best."
Granny Lu took the tea, a happy smile on her face: "Tiantian, dear, thank you for getting up so early today."
In fact, it was not hard. Grandma Lu was used to going to bed early and getting up early, so the tea time on her birthday was at six in the morning, and Su Tiantian got up at half past five.
As for the clothes, they chose bright colors because the elderly like bright and prosperous birthdays. Liu Jingze wore a burgundy shirt and Su Tiantian wore a red floral dress. Her hair was simply tied into a high ponytail, but the color of the headband was the same as the dress.
This is a very elegant chiffon dress, with a retro and girlish feel. The neckline is a small V-shaped square with a white edge, which contrasts sharply with the color of the skirt. The waist design is slightly loose, and the hem is spliced and pleated to add a sense of layering. It grows to the calf.
The pregnant Su Tiantian wore it and looked smart and cute. Her belly had not grown big yet, so you couldn't tell that she was pregnant.
After Grandma Lu finished her tea, Su Tiantian bent down and handed her some sugar tea: "Grandma, please have some sugar tea."
Granny Lu took the sugar tea and took a sip, then smiled and said, "No need to ask, this is Liangjie's. He used to cook it for his own daughter-in-law, but now he cooks it for his daughter-in-law."
Su Tiantian's cheeks were slightly hot, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, grandma. I will cook it myself next time."
A warm smile appeared on Liu Liangjie's face and he said, "Mom, if you don't like what I cook, I'll teach Jingze how to cook next time." The implication was of course that he was willing to help Su Tiantian cook.
Grandma Lu said, "Forget it, Jingze wouldn't understand this. Come, Tiantian, grandma gave a red envelope."
She was reluctant to make things difficult for her grandson who was not good at cooking, nor did she want to make things difficult for Su Tiantian, as she had watched Su Tiantian grow up since she was a child.
Su Tiantian took the red envelope with both hands: "Thank you, grandma." Then she put the red envelope into Liu Jingze's trouser pocket. Her skirt didn't have a pocket and she didn't have a bag, so she did this.
Grandma Lu said, "It doesn't matter who makes the sugar tea, it's all about the thought. Some people are too lazy to make it themselves and just buy it. Tiantian, pass a bowl of sugar tea to Liangjie and Azhao."
Liu Liangjie said, "Brother Zhao, this is the first time my daughter-in-law is serving me sugar tea. Come and sit down."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Okay." He walked over and sat next to Liu Liangjie.
The sugar tea had been served long ago, and bowls of it were placed on the table. It was not too hot, but at a moderate temperature. Su Tiantian picked up a bowl of sugar tea, bent down and handed it to Liu Liangjie with both hands: "Dad, please have some sugar tea."
Liu Liangjie took it and took a bite. Then he looked at his son who had been supporting Su Tiantian and said, "It seems that I still have to make sugar tea myself for my birthday."
Wu Xilun was standing next to Liu Liangjie at this time. He said, "By the time of Mr. Liu's birthday, Mrs. Liu's belly will be very big, and it will probably be inconvenient for her to bend over. Will you be willing to let her make sugar tea?"
Liu Liangjie's birthday is in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and Su Tiantian would have been about seven months pregnant by then, so Wu Xilun said that.
Liu Jingze said: "On Dad's birthday, of course he doesn't need to make sugar tea, my mother-in-law will help Tiantian make it."
Looking at his son who spoke so confidently, what could Liu Liangjie say? This smart son would definitely make proper arrangements by then.
Liu Liangjie handed Su Tiantian a red envelope: "Tiantian, here's a red envelope for you."
Su Tiantian took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, Dad."
This time, she put the red envelope in Liu Jingze's trouser pocket again, and then handed Liu Zhaosheng some sugar tea: "Godfather, please have some sugar tea."
Liu Zhaosheng took the sugar tea, took a sip, and then said naturally, "Ask Liangjie for the red envelope."
Ren Zhengyu, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Uncle Liu is so funny."
Liu Liangjie took out a red envelope and handed it to Su Tiantian, saying, "Ayu, you have to call your cousin's godfather Uncle Liu. Axuan calls him Uncle Liu, and you can't follow suit."
Ren Zhengxuan's father is older than Liu Zhaosheng, while Ren Zhengyu's father is younger than Liu Zhaosheng, so Liu Liangjie said that.
