Chapter 377: Returning to the Capital

oint where they can no longer simply look ahead. She couldn't even fathom what kind of tsunami or earthquake would occur if Cheng Zhimin knew she was Shu Minghai's daughter. 。She cut her honeymoon sho...Cheng Zhimin was still resentful of Shu Tinglan. She looked down on her birth and family background, and she also looked down on her work. But for the sake of her grandchildren, she was willing to maintain a superficial harmony. After all, most mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships were like this, weren't they And besides, she had no choice but to compromise; after all, her son loved her unconditionally.

It still lingers in my mind, a bit of an ache.

"Tinglan, prepare the scallions, ginger, and garlic, and place them in a dish for later use."

"Tinglan, put the shredded tofu in the refrigerator."

"Sea cucumber, please clean yourself up."

Cheng Zimin's voice could be heard constantly, sometimes ordering this and sometimes ordering that. Actually, her cooking skills were just so-so. Usually, when she felt like making a dish, the housekeeper would have everything ready, and she would just take charge of frying it in the pan.

So, the demands on Shu Tinglan were also set according to the requirements for the nanny, and there was a subtle hint of asserting dominance within the family.

Cheng Zhimian did this to maintain a superficial harmony for Zhuo Yushan and the children. Shu Tinglan also did it, all for the sake of the children. Besides, it was New Year's Eve today, and she didn't want to lose her temper, so she silently helped out and did these things she wasn't good at.

Over there, Cheng Zhimin's voice rang out again:

"Tinglan, after you wash the vegetables, slice the fish."

Cheng Zhimin doesn't think that way, and Shu Tinglan doesn't either. What's more, Zhuo YUAN is acting a little too much. Isn't this performance a bit over the top< >

"Not at all, to let them know that you are the most precious, as precious as Shu Xiaohua and Shu Xiaonian." Zhuo Yu'an's voice was very low. Seeing a little blood on her finger again, he simply took her finger into his mouth.

Shu Tinglan's face flushed, this person was really insensitive.

The nanny just brought bandages. Should I take them or not

Cheng Zhimin also couldn't bear to look any longer. She glanced at the nanny by the door and roared, "What are you standing there for Come over and help!"

Then, he kicked both Zhuo Yuyan and Shu Tinglan out of the kitchen, forbidding them from doing any housework. What's with all this talk about personally preparing the New Year's Eve dinner as a genuine expression of sincerity It's all nonsense. Don't even bother coming home for next year's Chinese New Year; just eat at a restaurant instead.

The nanny got to work efficiently, a sense of relief washing over her. She really wasn't comfortable just sitting around doing nothing.

Zuo Yu'an walked out hand-in-hand with Shu Tinglan, looking relaxed.

"Were you doing that on purpose"

"Well, intentional." Such good times, don't want to waste them in the kitchen.

The Zhu family has never been this lively for the New Year in all these years. In previous years, on New Year's Eve, there were only Cheng Zhimin and Zhu Hong at the dinner table. The two of them sat there in silence, without any communication, each eating their own food. After finishing, they would go downstairs.

This year is different. With four adults and two children, even if there isn't much conversation, there's naturally a sense of lively merriment that comes with toasting each other. Especially Shu Xiaonian and Shu Xiaohua, holding juice glasses, respectfully offering them to grandpa and grandma, their expressions are adorable and endearing.

Before the children sat down, Shu Tinglan had explained table manners to them. She told them not to talk loudly, not to reach for dishes they couldn't reach, and to sit properly. She was afraid that Zhu Hong and Cheng Zhimin would think the children were poorly behaved.

“Grandpa and Grandma, Happy New Year! I wish you good health and good fortune.” Shuxiao Nian remembered the blessing words, and said them one by one.

Originally, the two children had agreed to tell each other a story. However, Shu Xiaohua hesitated for half a beat and didn't say anything. Suddenly, her mind raced, and she blurted out something she didn't know where she learned from.

"Wishing Grandpa and Grandma good fortune like the East Sea and a lifespan as long as Southern Mountain."

Shu Xiaonian calmly reminded: "Sister, this is a blessing you say on your birthday."

As soon as he finished speaking, both Zhu Hong and Cheng Zhimin couldn't help but laugh. They rarely smiled, let alone several times in a day, so it was quite unexpected to see them laughing like this today.

"Grandma and grandpa received all your love. Here, this is a red envelope from grandma to you both." Cheng Zhimin handed over two super large and thick red envelopes.

"Thank you, Grandma," the two children said in unison after receiving the red envelopes. They then looked at Zhuo Hong together.

Zhuo Hong's face turned serious. He hadn't prepared for this kind of thing at all. He was a little embarrassed and just about to say he would have his secretary prepare two copies and make up for it tomorrow.

"Here you go." Cheng Zhimin timely handed over two red envelopes, thicker than the ones she had given before.

Zuo Hong paused, took the red envelope from her hand, and nodded in thanks.

The children were overjoyed, Xiaohua even came over to kiss both Cheng Zhimín and Zhuo Hong. The frost on their expressions completely melted away.

Before the grand reunion dinner, an unprecedented bustle filled the air. The nanny on the side watched with tears in her eyes, this house finally felt like a real home today.not want to see me, I've made a fuss here a few times before and it always fizzles out. 。Let's talk about it later. 。When the front desk of Hongle Company saw Ms. Tian again, their attitude was extrem...
