"Lu~ba~ba~"
This was a gift from Jiang Nian and also a surprise for Lu Cheng.
That night, Jiang Nian sorted out the gifts sent by Lu Cheng and found a valuable item - two gold bracelets with small rings, which were obviously suitable for little Anbao.
He must have been very clear about the gifts Qin Jingshan gave to the children: the twins received a gold bracelet each, and the Xiao Anbao was a very exquisite safety lock.
The safety lock was expensive and heavy, not suitable for a child to take out, so Jiang Nian had to keep it on his behalf.
Instead, it was the twins' gold bracelets that fit perfectly on their increasingly plump wrists.
Lu Cheng couldn't bear to see little Anbao's hands empty, so An An must also have a gold bracelet, and two of them!
One for each person is nothing, two for each person is the true love!
Jiang Nian saw Lu Cheng's competitiveness in this gift.
If Qin Jingshan knew about this, he would definitely want to grab Lu Cheng's ears and have a good talk with the hot-headed youngster, asking why he even had to compete in gift-giving.
If we really have to compare, let's compare blood ties. Even if Lu Cheng becomes the godfather as he wishes, he is just a godfather.
He is my grandfather!
The competitive spirit that Jiang Nian had not expected was yet to come.
Qin Sanye looked at the gifts sent by Lu Cheng that piled up like a small mountain, his brows furrowed and his expression very serious.
Jiang Nian had just finished applying moisturizer, walked over to sit next to Qin Sanye, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Ah Ye, do you also think that Lu Cheng's gift is too expensive? Let's give him a little discount when he comes back."
"No retreat." Qin Sanye said in a deep voice, "An'an, Xiaonian and Xiao Shitou deserve the best, no matter how expensive they are, they can afford it. Besides, he has money, why not help him save money."
After all, they are the famous Lu family in the capital, and Lu Cheng is a well-known young master in the Beijing circle. These things are just a drop in the bucket for him.
In that case, what is Qin Sanye worried about?
Qin Sanye smelled the faint fragrance coming from Jiang Nian and whispered, "I am the father of the children. I cannot be outdone by others."
Jiang Nian was stunned.
She didn't expect that Qin Sanye was actually worried about these things.
The corners of his mouth twitched and he couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Nian said softly, "You are An An's father, Xiao Nian's father, and Xiao Shitou's father. A father's company is the most precious thing and cannot be replaced by any gift."
Qin Sanye was like a lion whose fur was stroked. With Jiang Nian's comfort, he soon became enlightened.
When Xiaonian and Xiaoshitou started crying again because of their poop, Qin Sanye worked tirelessly to change their diapers and shouldered the fatherly responsibilities that he "could never replace".
…
Another half month passed and it was the end of November.
Before winter, "Xiao Yang's Pastry Shop" was finally renovated and opened successfully.
When the weather is cold, it is the golden time for pastry sales. After December, it is the Chinese New Year, and every household will buy some pastries to eat during the Chinese New Year, so choosing this time to open the business is the right time.
On the opening day, Song Yingying specially adjusted the hospital's duty schedule. Qin Sanye and Zhao Weidong took leave. Jiang Nian entrusted the twins to Huang Guixiang and only took Xiao Anbao out alone. They all had to support Yang Gaiqin.
On this day, Yang Gaizhen, the proprietress, put on a brand new dress, tied her long hair into a bun with a plum hairpin inserted in the middle of the bun. She, who was usually lively and active, looked more gentle like a mature woman.
Yang Gaiqin sells traditional Chinese pastries, and this kind of design fits the style of the pastries perfectly.
Ten o'clock in the morning, an auspicious day and a good time.
The pastry shop is not big, but it is in a good location, at a crossroads. There is a red strip of firecrackers on the ground.
Xiao Anbao recognized this thing. It would explode with a crackling sound and was very loud.
She had already covered her ears with her hands, looked to the left, and found Zhao Xiaobei standing there with his hands hanging down, so she immediately went over to remind him.
"Brother Xiaobei, cover your ears! Cover your ears! Clap, clap, clap, it's so loud."
Xiao Anbao took the initiative to pull Zhao Xiaobei's hand and asked him to cover his ears.
"good."
Zhao Xiaobei was not afraid of the sound of firecrackers, but Xiao Anbao looked at him with concern, so he just covered it up.
The two children, one big and one small, covered their ears with their hands.
But the sound of firecrackers that everyone had been waiting for for a long time never came.
Little Anbao was getting impatient waiting, he tilted his head to look forward, and then saw the trembling Yang Gaizhen.
Yang Gaiqin was still the same Yang Gaiqin. His carefully dressed-up temperament was immediately ruined when he got nervous.
She looked at Jiang Nian, her hands trembling, "Nian Nian, I'm afraid... afraid..."
Yang Gaiqin had only played with small firecrackers before, and had never lit such a large string of firecrackers. He held the firecrackers in one hand and a stick of incense in the other, and shook the small scarlet flame, but he did not dare to light the fuse.
Jiang Nian asked, "Gai Xi, do you still want to make money?"
"Of course!"
"Since you want to do it, then muster up your courage and be good! Firecrackers are to bless you with a prosperous business and big money! If you are really scared, just treat firecrackers as leaves and orchids, and setting off firecrackers will bring bad luck."
The first half of Jiang Nian's words did not encourage Yang Gaiqin, but the second half really stimulated her.
Ye Lanlan was the culprit who caused "her" to suffer, and she wanted to set off firecrackers and throw them into her bed!
Just like that, anger gave rise to Yang Gaiqin's courage. She finally lit the firecracker, and when the fire was burning, she threw it out quickly from her palm.
“Ah——Nian Nian——”
Yang Gaiqin turned around and hugged Jiang Nian immediately. Qin Sanye pulled Jiang Nian aside. They, together with Yang Gaiqin, retreated a few steps and moved to a safe place.
The deafening sound of firecrackers quickly attracted the attention of people around, including the residents of the surrounding family quarters.
After the sound ended, curious people gathered around one after another, wanting to join in the fun and also to look around curiously.
Jiang Nian and Song Yingying stood outside the door, each holding a tray with small pieces of pastries on it. They put toothpicks on them and gave them to the curious people to try.
"Try it. This is the newly opened Xiao Yang Bakery. You can buy some if you like it."
"You can try it even if you don't want to buy it. It's delicious. It's free."
Jiang Nian had a sweet smile and a gentle voice, which made people feel as sweet as if they had eaten a cake. After taking a bite——
