Taking advantage of the break, Tan Ming typed a message as he walked. When she reached the staircase, she did not go down. She wanted to take a selfie. [Congratulations to everyone for getting better and better in the new year! Remember to watch “Cycle” starring me tomorrow night!] Tan Ming clicked send and walked down the stairs.
In a second, fans appeared in the comments section.
[An’an, Happy New Year! 1 wish you a beautiful new year and smooth sailing in your career! Well definitely watch it on time tomorrow night at eight! ]
[Wow! An’an is dressed like a baby today. She’s so cute! Wearing red on New Year’s Day suits the occasion!]
[Hahaha, this harmless appearance reminds me of the first time 1 saw the contrast between your appearance and rough attributes!]
[I suddenly realized that the door behind An’an’s photo looks so familiar.]
[+1.1 thought 1 was the only one who felt that way. I also feel that I’ve seen it before, but 1 can’t remember.]
Tan Ming went downstairs and saw that her parents and Jiang Yan were there. The babies were crawling freely on the mat in the empty space beside him. The nannies were watching from the side.
There were two other guests in the living room. One of them was Jiang Zhen, and the other was a middle-aged man in his fifties. The two of them looked 50% similar. Tan Ming guessed that this should be Jiang Zhen’s father.
The sound of Tan Ming going downstairs attracted everyone’s attention. Seeing that everyone had turned their heads to look, Tan Ming smiled generously and greeted them separately. “Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Happy New Year.”
“Happy New Year, Brother Jiang Zhen and Uncle.”
Jiang Xi hurriedly stood up. Seeing this, Jiang Zhen also stood up.
Jiang Xi’s expression was cheerful as he looked at Tan Ming lovingly. “Hello, Miss An’an. I haven’t seen you for many years. You look like Sir and Madam.”
Jiang Hai was very happy to hear this. “Anan, this is Jiang Zhen’s father. They specially came to visit us during the new year. You have to call him Uncle Jiang. Speaking of which, you haven’t seen him since you came back, right? He’s my right-hand man.”
Tan Ming quickly changed her words. “Happy New Year, Uncle Jiang.”
Jiang Xi replied again, “Happy New Year.”
Li Mei took out the red packet she and her husband had prepared and handed it over. “An’an, this is a red packet from Daddy and Mommy.”
Logically speaking, red packets were only given to children who had yet to reach adulthood. However, as the standard of living of the people increased, as long as there were unmarried children in the family, the elders would give them. Among those of the same generation, elder brothers and sisters who were married or working would also give them to their younger siblings.
No matter how she looked at it, Tan Ming didn’t meet the requirements to receive red packets. She smiled helplessly and said, “Dad, Mom, how old am 1?”
Li Mei took the red packet and handed it to Tan Ming. “As long as your father and 1 are around, you and your brothers will have red packets. Hurry up and take it.”
Jiang Yan also took out a red packet and handed it over. His eyes curved as he echoed, “An’an, you have to take this. If you make yourself an exception, your two brothers and I will lose our red packets in the future. Also, you can’t avoid my red packet. 1 still have to listen to you wish me a fortune.”
When Tan Ming heard this, she naturally did not stand on ceremony anymore. He smiled and took the two red packets. “Thank you, Dad, Mom, and Big Brother. I wish you a prosperous life, good health, and everything will go your way!”
Li Mei and Jiang Hai smiled. “Be good. You too.”
Jiang Xi also took the opportunity to take out a red packet from his pocket. “Miss An’an, I hope you’ll be safe in the future and have a smooth life.”
Tan Ming thickened her skin and accepted it as well. She also said a lot of good wishes.
Li Mei sent Tan Ming to bring Jiang Zhen to other places. “We’re all the older generation reminiscing about the past. I don’t think you young ones like to listen. An’an, you haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Bring Jiang Zhen along to eat.” Tan Ming obediently brought Jiang Zhen to the dining room. “Brother Jiang Zhen, have you eaten? Do you want to drink some soy milk or fruit juice?”
At this time, they usually came to visit after eating. Tan Ming only suggested getting him something to drink.
Jiang Zhen replied gently, “I’ve eaten. 1’11 drink some fruit juice.”
The maid prepared breakfast and placed it on the table in a few minutes. Tan Ming’s favorite soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and a cup of hot soy milk. In front of Jiang Zhen was a cup of pear orange juice.
The process of eating was very quiet. Usually, when the two of them chatted on WeChat, they would talk about something. Now that they were suddenly interacting like this, Tan Ming felt a little uncomfortable..
