Seeing this, Huo Tingzhou patted his short hair. He could still find a way to meet other requests.
But this... it's truly a case of a clever father having no rice to cook!
Fortunately, Sui Sui is very easy to coax.
Just as Huo Tingzhou finished tying Zhao Zhao's hair into two cute little buns and was about to take the two little ones downstairs...
Zhao Zhao's little hand had already opened the drawer before he could.
"Scented~~" She wanted to apply perfume.
After applying perfume, you need to apply face powder.
These all taste like Mommy's, she wants them too!
Getting dressed and tying hair into braids are things Huo Tingzhou can do perfectly well, but applying makeup to his face is something he really doesn't know how to do.
Besides, a one-year-old baby's skin is as tender as tofu, so why would they need to apply this?
But when he looked at Zhao Zhao's exquisitely beautiful face, which resembled his own wife's, Huo Tingzhou's heart softened completely.
Finally, amidst Zhao Zhao's whimpering, Huo Tingzhou picked up a lipstick and dotted a circle on the forehead of each of the two little ones.
It seems like everyone in the family compound lights one when a child turns one year old.
They actually look rather cute.
The two little ones were finally satisfied and obediently followed me downstairs.
The old man and his family are having tea in the living room right now, and they are delighted to see their two great-grandchildren dressed so beautifully and looking so energetic!
The elderly couple were extremely fond of it.
After breakfast, I happily took my two little ones out for a stroll.
When I returned, quite a few guests had already arrived at my home.
The first group to arrive were all of Huo's mother's family members, including her aunt who lived far away in Chengdu and made a special trip back this time.
At this moment, Huo's mother was chatting intimately with her older sister, and Jiang Si was sitting next to her.
As soon as the two little ones saw their mother, they immediately let go of the old man's hand.
"Slow down!" Huo's mother's words had no effect. The two little ones looked up abruptly and found that there were two grandmothers sitting in front of them.
Huo's mother and her sister were identical twins, and they were wearing Lenin suits, which were the most common at the time.
Even adults would get confused if the two of them sat together, let alone two children.
Fortunately, the two little ones are very clever.
They were very familiar with their grandmother's scent.
Without Jiang Si even needing to remind them, the two girls rushed into Huo's mother's arms, crying, "Grandma~~"
Mrs. Huo's face was beaming with pride. "So good!"
"This child is so well raised," said Yue's eldest sister. "He's smart and sensible."
"It's all thanks to Si Si and the others for teaching him so well," said Mother Huo, who was very good at speaking. "He mainly inherited it from Si Si; he's very clever."
Jiang Si felt a little guilty from the praise. "Mom, Aunt, you two chat first. Tingzhou and I will go outside to greet them."
"Go on, put on your coat, it's chilly outside today."
Jiang Si nodded.
The two had barely arrived at the entrance of the family compound when their master, mistress, Chairman Zhou, and several others arrived.
Shortly after, the High Court and Professor Li's group arrived.
I glanced at the time; it was almost ten o'clock.
Just as Jiang Si was wondering why Chi Heng and Chris hadn't arrived yet, Huo Tingzhou glanced intently into the distance.
"They should have arrived by now; that's the embassy's car."
It must be said, pilots have excellent eyesight.
The license plate number is clearly visible even from this distance.
Sure enough, the car pulled over and stopped shortly afterward.
"Thank goodness we made it in time, I was so scared!" Chris couldn't help but complain to Jiang Si as soon as she got out of the car.
Seeing that she looked shaken, Jiang Si quickly asked with concern, "What happened? Did something happen on the way?"
Chris said, "When we came from that street just now, a few kids suddenly darted out. Luckily, Chi Heng reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes, otherwise we would have hit them."
"Were you scared?"
“It’s alright.” Chris said with a hint of helplessness. “It’s just that the child’s family is being unreasonable. They insist that we scared their child, and they’re blocking us from leaving. They even want us to pay them fifty dollars.”
Fifty yuan?
Jiang Si frowned upon hearing this; fifty yuan was no small sum.
"So you gave it to me?"
"We have no choice but to give it to them. They're throwing a tantrum, and if we don't give it to them, who knows how much longer we'll have to wait."
On this joyous day, Chris didn't want to mention any unhappy things. "Luckily, I didn't miss the two babies' first birthday celebrations."
"It's good that everyone is alright. Let's go inside."
"Wait a minute." Chris turned around and gestured for Chi Heng to open the trunk.
A moment later, she took two cakes out of there.
One is vanilla butter flavored, and the other is creamy fruit flavored.
Chris smiled and said, "This is for my two darlings, happy birthday!"
After glancing at the packaging, Jiang Si exclaimed in surprise, "You made this cake yourself?"
Yesterday she wanted to order a cake for the two little ones, but unfortunately there are very few Western-style pastry shops in Beijing.
She went to four or five stores but couldn't find any, but unexpectedly, Chris made two and brought them over.
That's really thoughtful.
“Yes.” Chris nodded. “These two were just made this morning. The ingredients were limited, so they don’t look very pretty, but they should taste pretty good.”
Jiang Si was touched, but also somewhat surprised, "When did you learn to bake cakes?"
I've never heard her mention that.
"yesterday."
Seeing Jiang Si staring at her with wide eyes, Chris quickly offered an explanation.
"What I mean is, I only really succeeded yesterday. Before that, either the cake batter was chocolate-colored or the cream wouldn't whip up."
"Oh, by the way, I also baked some cookies, come and take a look."
