"Mom, I’m back." Tang Yue grinned, seeing the surprised look on Zhang Hualian’s face, she felt the surprise was quite a success.
Zhang Hualian approached excitedly and asked, "Xiao Yue, when did you get back? Weren’t you supposed to come back in a few days? Why didn’t you call ahead of time, so I could have picked you up from the station? Why have you lost weight?"
Zhang Hualian was so excited she didn’t know what to say.
Tang Yue handed some snacks to Little An’an, who obediently listened. Tang Yue answered each question, "I just got home. I was planning to come back in a few days, but I finished everything early and came back. Mom, I know my way home, there’s no need for you to pick me up."
"You child." Zhang Hualian pulled her into the private room to rest, and enthusiastically greeted Bai Qing, "Xiao Yue, Xiaoqing, you two rest here, I’ll go cook a few dishes for you."
"Mom, go ahead with your work." Tang Yue, holding Anan, had intended to go to the kitchen, but then thought that Anan was too young.
Bai Qing offered to take Anan, "Anan is playing now, you go check on your dad."
"Thank you, Xiaoqing." Tang Yue said happily, Bai Qing was always by her side now, like sisters.
Just as Zhang Hualian mentioned to Tang Zhengde that their daughter, Xiao Yue, was back, Tang Yue had already entered the kitchen. The restaurant’s kitchen was big and clean, everything neatly arranged, Tang Zhengde wore his work clothing and a chef hat, looking quite professional.
"Dad." Tang Yue greeted joyfully.
Tang Zhengde would have loved to drop his pan and have a proper chat with his daughter, but the customers were still waiting for their meals, so he had to suppress the urge to talk.
After exchanging a few words, Tang Yue prepared some rice mixed with soup to feed Anan, dinner time was at one-thirty.
When the family sat down to eat, both Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian took turns putting food into Tang Yue’s bowl, piling it high.
Bai Qing, who was sitting beside them, was envious. Zhang Hualian, using clean chopsticks, also served Bai Qing, "Xiaoqing, don’t be shy at our home, treat it like your own."
"Thank you, Aunt Xie." Bai Qing really liked the atmosphere of the Tang Family; it was warm and felt like home.
It was Bai Qing’s second visit to the Tang Family, and each time she felt reluctant to leave.
After lunch, Zhang Hualian accompanied them back home, as even Tang Zhengde couldn’t bear to part with his daughter, he too followed them home.
The family gathered together, with endless conversation.
Wei Jiajia, seeing Tang Zhengde holding the sleeping Anan return, couldn’t help saying, "We’ve caused you trouble with Anan."
"Jiajia, what are you talking about?" Zhang Hualian asked with a smile, "Jiajia, Anan is very well-behaved, didn’t cause any trouble at all."
"Yes, exactly, little aunt, Anan is especially adorable." Tang Yue agreed, only upon returning home did she find that her little uncle Tang Mingli and Tang Jun were all there.
The family gathered together, reuniting after a long separation, naturally had endless topics to discuss.
Bai Qing also integrated into the group, feeling the atmosphere of the home.
Everyone had a lively and bustling dinner together, and then Tang Yue remembered to make a phone call to Mo Siyu.
Tang Yue went next door to her little uncle’s house to call Mo Siyu.
"Hello, good day, I’m looking for Mo Siyu." Tang Yue had just finished speaking when Mo Siyu’s voice came through the phone.
"Xiao Yue."
