Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Huai didn’t care. His father and big brothers had already said that the matter with An’an would be resolved soon. At that time, he wouldn’t have to hide it anymore. He wanted to tell the world that An’an was his sister!
Jiang Huai unscrewed the cap of the cup and calmly took a sip of water. “Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Song Xin felt very tired, but he still had to respect this veteran who had always done things his own way. After all, this was the boss who paid him. Song Xin could only pray that nothing would happen.
To the Chinese, the most important thing in a year was the Spring Festival. The Jiang family’s tradition would reduce the number of servants during this period of time so that they could go home. The servants who stayed behind to work overtime would also get benefits and bonuses.
Therefore, the Jiang family would choose to do many things themselves during the seven-day holiday during the Spring Festival.
The older the two babies were, the more energetic they would be. Especially now that they knew how to crawl, they preferred to wander around blindly. The confinement nannies could not leave.
Tan Ming looked for the confinement nannies in private and prepared two red packets. She smiled and said, “Auntie Sang, Auntie Fang, Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi are still young. There are too many guests coming for the new year. I can’t take care of them all. 1 want to invite you to stay at our house for the new year. The salary will be tripled according to the country’s rules.”
After saying that, Tan Ming stuffed the red packet in her hand into the nannies’ hand. “Also, this is a small token of my appreciation.”
Before they could refuse, a big red packet was stuffed into their hands. Their fingers subconsciously pinched it. They were a little shocked when they felt the thickness of the notes.
Aunt Sang hurriedly replied with a smile, “I can’t bear to part with Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi either. When they’re older, they probably won’t need me anymore. When I can spend more time with them, 1 also want to spend more time with them.”
When Aunt Fang saw her colleague’s att.i.tude, she immediately went forward to express her loyalty. “An’an, don’t worry. As long as there’s a need, I can stay any time!”
Putting aside the fact that the Jiang family had always been generous with their money and had never reduced it, the Jiang family had always been gentle and polite to their two confinement nannies. They would not use their status as rich people to boss them around all day. Just based on the fact that they would give extra red packets every holiday, where else could they find such a good master?
Their employment period was usually only one or two years old. They had to take this opportunity to work more and earn some extra money.
Tan Ming was relieved when she heard their words. Both parties were very satisfied.
It was New Year’s Eve, and the atmosphere of the New Year was getting more and more intense. Tan Ming climbed up and down with her brothers, pasting flowers on the windows, and pasting couplets. She could truly feel the atmosphere of home.
The Jiang family would rush back to Xiyun at the latest today, including those studying and working overseas.
After the three sons of the Jiang family got married, they split up. The eldest son of the Jiang family inherited the ancestral residence. The second and third sons of the Jiang family had residences in Xiyun City, but they had to return to the ancestral residence to eat together during the New Year’s Eve dinner.
This time, Tan Ming finally met all her relatives on her father’s side. Second Brother Jiang, Jiang Ling, and his wife, Yu Feng, were more familiar with Tan Ming. They were also in Sea City, so they would occasionally visit their eldest brother, sister-in-law, and their niece, Tan Ming.
When Jiang Yan and Jiang Xun saw him enter, they hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Tan Ming put down the toy in her hand and stood up. “Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Brother Jiang Shan.”
Jiang Shan was Jiang Ling’s youngest son and was in charge of the Jiang Corporation’s technology company. Jiang Ling also had an eldest daughter who was a civil servant and married a second-generation official. According to tradition, the daughter who got married would naturally spend the New Year at her husband’s house. She usually only returned to her mother’s house on the second day of the New Year.
The few of them greeted each other. Yu Feng smiled and walked to Tan Ming’s side. “Last time, I took some smoked bamboo shoots to your house. Seeing that you kept eating them, 1 thought that you must like them very much. Your mother also noticed it, so 1 specially asked the family in the mountains who helped me smoke the smoked bamboo shoots to help smoke a few more catties this year.”
Jiang Shan placed the bag on the coffee table and teased, “Little sister, you’re the only one in the Jiang family who gets such treatment. Usually, my mother either forgets what I want to eat or is too lazy to cook.”
Yu Feng patted her son’s shoulder lightly. “You’re the only one who has so many requests. 1 can’t be bothered with you. Your little cousin is so sensible that it makes my heart ache. She doesn’t want to trouble others and doesn’t even mention it if she likes to eat something.”
When Tan Ming heard this, she smiled and went forward to hold Yu Feng’s arm. She bit her lip in embarra.s.sment and said, “Thank you for doting on me, Second Aunt. It was my first time eating it and 1 felt that it tasted very good, so 1 couldn’t help but keep taking it. 1 didn’t expect you to notice it..”
