Chapter 158: Secretly Want

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Feng looked at Tan Ming’s obedient and sensible appearance and felt very depressed. She clearly had a daughter too, but Jiang Yun’s personality was straightforward and shrewish. It was impossible for her to act coquettishly. She could only secretly want her niece.

Yu Feng patted the back of Tan Ming’s hand and smiled warmly. “Next time, just tell Auntie what you like to eat. We’re family. You don’t have to worry about troubling me. We’re just mentioning it to others.”

Tan Ming knew that Yu Feng meant what she said. She nodded and stuck out her tongue. She said mischievously, “Alright, Aunt. Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

As they chatted and laughed, Third Uncle and Third Aunt came with their two sons. Everyone greeted each other.

Third Aunt, Sun Xiang, looked at Tan Ming’s expression from left to right. She nodded and said firmly, “An’an looks much better now than when she just came out of confinement!”

Tan Ming’s eyes curved into crescents. “It’s all thanks to Mom making soup for me often to nourish my body.”

When Li Mei heard the sound, she came out of the study on the second floor. As she went down the stairs, she smiled and said, “1 vaguely heard someone talking upstairs. This voice is penetrating. 1 knew instantly that it was your loud voice.”

“Hahahaha, it’s my unique symbol.” Sun Xiang laughed.

After Sun Xiang finished speaking, she pointed at her youngest son and said to Tan Ming, “My family has three troublemakers. You know the eldest, Jiang Bin. You’ve seen your second cousin, Jiang Xin, the last time you came out of confinement. As for my third son, he’s in his third year studying overseas and has taken leave to come back for the New Year.”

The youngest member of the Jiang family was Jiang Hu, followed by Tan Ming.

Jiang Hu took the initiative to say, “Hello, Sister An’an.”

Jiang Hu was especially tall. Tan Ming estimated he was about 1.9 meters tall. He was a bright and cheerful boy. Tan Ming only reached his chest.

Tan Ming looked up at Jiang Hu and smiled. “Hello, Jiang Hu. You’re quite tall.”

Sun Xiang immediately interrupted, “He usually plays basketball everywhere. He really grew taller after jumping too much. Previously, he was already in his third year of high school, but he was still not even 1.6 meters tall. At that time, I was almost worried to death. I was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to find a wife in the future!”

Jiang Hu stopped her helplessly. “Mom, that was from so long ago. Why are you still bringing it up?”

Sun Xiang rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction. “What’s there to be embarrassed about? We’re family.”

After saying that, Sun Xiang continued to say to Tan Ming, “Later on, in the third year of high school, I forced this lazy guy to play basketball and exercise more. In addition, the boy’s puberty was long. 1 didn’t expect him to jump to 1.8 meters in a year. Later on, he grew so tall. In the future, when Jiang Yi is older, remember to let him exercise more. It’s useful!”

Sun Xiang enthusiastically imparted parenting knowledge. Tan Ming pursed her lips to suppress her smile and listened seriously.

Jiang Hu covered his face helplessly. He felt that his mother was practically stripping him bare.

After everyone arrived, they had dinner together and started to stay up till 12 am.

It was an unwritten rule for Chinese people to watch the official television station’s Spring Festival Gala.

The opening program was Jiang Huai’s song and dance performance. Next, it was either song and dance or skit performances, acrobatics, magic, and so on.

It was rare for the two babies to not be sleepy. They guarded the night of New Year’s together until almost 12 am.

At this moment, Jiang Yan and Jiang Xun took out the fireworks they had specially bought this morning and called everyone to go to the garden to set off the fireworks.

Jiang Xun carried two large fireworks. “An’an, you loved fireworks when you were young. Big Brother and 1 bought a lot of them this time!”

Everyone carried some in their hands. Even Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi were carried out by the confinement nannies to experience the fireworks for the first time in their lives.

In the first year after Tan Ming went to the Tan Family, she had also let go of the fireworks that Mdm Tan and her husband had prepared for her. However, after Tan Si was born, she could only watch from afar.

Now that a large family was accompanying her, even though the weather was cold, Tan Ming felt warm in her heart.

Most of the elders only watched. Only a group of the younger generation took out fireworks and started to set them off excitedly.

Li Mei was originally quite happy, but when she saw the six children present, other than An’an, who was married and had children, the rest were all single except Jiang Shan, let alone married.

Li Mei sighed worriedly and looked at them in disdain.. “You only know how to play! You don’t do anything serious like finding a girlfriend, getting married, and having children!”
