"Daddy, did you buy a doll?" A tender young voice rang out, sounding like a warbler leaving its valley, interrupting the chat between Yang Wenbin and He Xuewen.
Tian Sisi threw herself into He Xuewen’s arms as if she were a swallow returning to the nest. Only after wriggling out of He Xuewen’s embrace did she notice another man standing beside them, who was chuckling and sizing her up. Tian Sisi’s face flushed slightly, and she pretended to shyly lower her head.
"Ah Nan, this is Uncle Yang that Daddy ntioned to you before, he is Daddy’s good friend," He Xuewen said, noticing his daughter’s bashful deanour and feeling very pleased, he introduced them with a smile.
"Hello, Uncle Yang," Tian Sisi greeted sweetly.
Although Yang Wenbin had seen photos of Tian Sisi, this was the first ti he t her in person, and he was extrely astonished. Xuewen said he had recognized a goddaughter here, but looking now, how could this be a goddaughter? She clearly is his own daughter!
Those big eyes and that little tuft of curly hair (Tian Sisi roared, this is not curly hair, it’s beautiful natural curls)! It’s clearly the spitting image of the daughter in the one-month photo inside Xuewen’s pocket watch. No wonder this guy has holed up in this mountain den. No wonder he’s recovered so fast—he’s in a good mood, so naturally, his health follows suit, hmph!
Though slightly annoyed He Xuewen hadn’t been entirely honest, deep down he understood. With Xuewen’s current situation, it really wasn’t suitable for him to publicly acknowledge his biological daughter. At that mont, he also pretended not to know and cheerfully took out a red envelope from his pocket, handing it to Tian Sisi, "Uncle Yang ca in a hurry and didn’t prepare a gift. Ah Nan, buy whatever you like with this."
Tycoon, ah! She loves tycoon uncles the most. Tian Sisi’s eyes glead as she accepted the red envelope, smiling sweeter than honey, "Thank you, Uncle Yang."
He Chengsi didn’t receive a red envelope from Yang Wenbin; they didn’t even realize how well-acquainted they were. He Chengsi cheerfully called "Uncle Yang" and then went inside to boil water for tea for the guests, as Daddy was simply too lazy to even boil water (in reality, He Xuewen didn’t know how to boil water).
He Xuewen brought out a large doll, almost half the height of Tian Sisi, with golden hair and dressed in a pink dress, that could even blink its eyes. Although it wasn’t as delicate and pretty as the dolls of future generations, for now, it was indeed a very fashionable doll. It must have taken He Xuewen a lot of effort.
"Thank you, Daddy, the doll is really beautiful. I will make lots of pretty clothes for her to wear."
Tian Sisi was extrely happy; she could dress up her doll just like her female classmates did in her previous life. How wonderful!
Seeing his daughter’s joyous smile made He Xuewen forget all the hard work he went through to buy the doll, "As long as Ah Nan likes it, that’s good. Daddy will buy Ah Nan more dolls of different styles in the future to fill up your bed."
"Daddy, you’re the best, I like you the most." Tian Sisi generously delivered a sweet kiss, delighting He Xuewen so much that he felt like a celestial being falling from heaven to beco a mortal.
Yang Wenbin felt a tinge of jealousy and pouted a bit. He only had two rowdy boys and never had the experience of buying dolls, at most making wooden pistols for his sons, and his sons never acted as sweet and coquettish as Tian Sisi.
No wonder Xuewen didn’t feel tired even after visiting six or seven departnt stores in Shanghai. To receive his daughter’s thanks and sweet kisses, no effort was too great. Perhaps, should he try hard when he gets back and have a little princess with his wife?
Niu Sanxian humd a tune as he walked back with his hands behind his back. As soon as he got off the car, he consciously strolled up the mountain, figuring he’d co back when it was about ti for the goods to be loaded. He could tell at a glance that Mr. Yang and Mr. He were people with a background, and what they were involved in might be big affairs that could lead to trouble. Better for him to see less, ask less, and say less.
Niu Sanxian, upon entering the yard, saw two adorable children, especially the girl, who looked just like a maiden beside the Bodhisattva Guanyin in New Year paintings, a joy to behold. He squinted and rummaged through his clothes for a while but could only find two yuan, which he awkwardly handed to the two little ones, telling them to buy so candy.
"Thank you, Uncle; you look so blessed, just like the God of Wealth himself."
Tian Sisi spoke sweetly without hesitation, making Niu Sanxian’s mouth stretch into a broad smile. This girl really knew how to talk, and it was delightful to listen to.
"Daddy, where will Uncle Yang and Uncle Niu go for dinner tonight? Are they coming to my house?" Tian Sisi started to worry about the evening al for the guests.
"Let’s just eat here; it’s always inconvenient to trouble your Granny by going to your house." He Xuewen mainly didn’t want Yang Wenbin having too much contact with the Tian Family. He was grateful to the Tian Family, but he wouldn’t lay all his cards on the table for them.
"That works. I’ll eat here with Daddy tonight too; I’ll cook dinner," offered Tian Sisi, volunteering to be the chef.
"Alright, then we’ll have to trouble Ah Nan; cook so dishes to accompany the drinks, tonight Daddy and a few uncles want to have a good ti drinking," He Xuewen agreed, knowing his daughter’s cooking was quite good.
Tian Sisi ran to the kitchen to get an apron. She was extrely familiar with the He Family kitchen; when He Xuewen was ho, she often ca over to cook for them, and ever since He Xuewen had tasted his daughter’s cooking, he refused to eat als cooked by He Chengsi.
Tian Sisi looked around the kitchen and saw only a piece of at with so freshwater snails and eels. She laughed and shook her head; the kitchen had no vegetables, yet they wanted to invite guests for dinner – Daddy was really...!
If Tian Sisi knew that the piece of at was brought by Niu Sanxian, she would shake her head even more. She then said to He Chengsi who was boiling water, "Brother He, I’ll go ho to fetch so vegetables; you trim the snails and gut the eels, then we can cook dinner later."
He Chengsi smiled and nodded; he liked his little sister’s cooking too, it looked and tasted great.
"Sisi, make more of that stir-fried freshwater snails tonight; the ones you made last ti were so delicious. And the spicy eel and dry-fried eels too, please make more of those," He Chengsi said.
"Sure thing, Daddy likes them too, they’ll make perfect side dishes for drinks."
Tian Sisi, carrying the large doll, ran back ho and briefly inford Granny Zhao, who was preparing dinner, that she was going to eat at the He Family. Granny Zhao didn’t mind; her granddaughter typically ate dinner at the He Family five out six days, sotis even staying overnight – she was already used to it.
"Granny, look at the large doll Daddy bought for , isn’t it beautiful?" Tian Sisi boasted, lifting the doll in her hand.
"It’s beautiful, your Daddy has squandered money again; you little demon, who knows how much money you have spent?" Granny Zhao squinted and examined the doll for a mont, guessing that this foreign toy must be expensive.
"Daddy said he likes buying things for ," humd Tian Sisi, carrying the doll around to show off to Old Man, and then she finally put the doll on her bed upstairs. (To be continued.
