I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 245 I'm here to see you on behalf of Santa Claus.

I go back to my parents’ home on the second and third days of the Chinese New Year.

This is a very important custom of the Han nationality.

It’s also a good day to visit parents at their homes.

Of course Xu Musen hadn't married yet, so he could only visit his future father-in-law's home.

Xu's mother got up at four or five in the morning.

Knowing that An Nuannuan liked rabbits, she carefully made several steamed buns in the shape of rabbits of various shapes.

I also made some pastries for Xu Musen to take along.

"This family doesn't need anything...but you should bring all the gifts you should bring."

Father Xu also gave instructions early in the morning. He scratched his head and thought that the only things they could offer at home were two bottles of Wuliangye that had been stored for a long time.

But they also knew that this little girl named An Nuannuan's family was not short of money, and they didn't know whether she would dislike giving them these things.

But what should be given still needs to be given.

Xu's mother packed all the prepared snacks and other things into exquisite lunch boxes.

Things made by hand appear more sincere.

Xu Musen looked at his parents who were even more nervous than he was, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not like I haven't been there before, I know the answer myself."

"This is different. This is a proper New Year's greeting. Don't be so careless."

Xu's mother explained carefully.

"Okay, got it."

Xu Musen nodded in agreement, took something out of the refrigerator and carefully put it into a small temperature-controlled refrigerator.

"What are you holding?"

"The gift was made by me myself, so Nuannuan will definitely like it more."

Xu Musen said happily.

"Look at you..."

Xu's mother said unhappily, "Really, you are competing with me here."

"By the way, how about I cook two more dishes for you to eat on the way?"

"Forget it. It will be dark by the time we get there. I can just stop by a service area and eat some instant noodles on the way."

Xu Musen shook his head. It was hard enough for his mother to get up early in the morning to prepare these things. There was no need for her to cook.

Go downstairs and put everything in the trunk.

Xu Musen decided to drive there anyway, and if he drove faster he would arrive by almost evening.

He didn't tell Nuannuan that he was going today, but he talked to his grandparents in advance, thinking of giving An Nuannuan a surprise.

Everything was fine. Xu Musen looked at the villa nearby and saw that the little yandere didn't come over so early in the morning to act sarcastic.

Xu Musen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

According to her personality, she should have started humming early in the morning standing by her bed.

Just as Xu Musen closed the trunk and prepared to get in the car, a voice came from behind.

He heard the crunching sound of footsteps on the snow, and when he turned around, Yao Mingyue appeared behind him.

He was still carrying something in his hand.

Yao Mingyue looked at the down jacket he was wearing, which was exactly the same as the one she bought.

There is just a slight difference in color, but this set is matched with An Nuannuan.

She groaned.

Throw him what you have in your hand.

"lunch box?"

Xu Musen hugged it and weighed it, and could still feel some residual warmth.

"For me?"

"For the dog."

Yao Mingyue snorted and turned her head away.

Xu Musen was used to being scolded. He looked at the exquisite lunch box, but it was obvious that it was not from a restaurant, but the one she usually used.

Xu Musen opened a layer, and immediately a meaty aroma filled the air. Sweet and sour spare ribs…

This was definitely not cooked by the chef, because Xu Musen saw that two pieces of meat were burnt. He looked up at Yao Mingyue.

"Did you do these?"

This future female CEO who has never done housework can also cook for people?
"I was cleaning out the fridge and made this. I'll feed it to the dog if I don't eat it."

When Yao Mingyue saw Xu Musen's gaze, she turned her head slightly, looking sickly and delicate, which made Xu Musen think that she was unexpectedly silly and cute.

Isn't it just a dog? Xu Musen didn't care at all, after all, he had been a dog at home for many years.

Moreover, there seemed to be two dishes in the lunch box, both of which would take some time to prepare. In addition, Yao Mingyue watched the Spring Festival Gala for so long yesterday that her eyes looked a little sleepless.

And as a novice in the kitchen, she had no idea how many times she failed before she succeeded.

The ribs in her hand, which didn't look perfect, were probably the best she had ever made.

"Thank you."

Xu Musen put away the lunch box and looked at Yao Mingyue, who still looked a little concerned. He smiled and said, "Now I don't have to worry about going hungry."

"Tsk, some guys are so good at stealing food, how could they starve? And don't say that my cooking is not delicious!"

Yao Mingyue couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, but she was still unforgiving.

Xu Musen shook his head and smiled, remembering that in his previous life, he had always brought her breakfast in college, and he had always cooked for her after they got married.

Otherwise, the nanny will prepare it and deliver it to you.

This was the first time Xu Musen received a meal made by her.

In the normal life that Xu Musen once dreamed of, Yao Mingyue could occasionally put on an apron to cook, and also say to him, "Dear, you are home, let's prepare to eat..."

Xu Musen was a little dazed. When he looked at Yao Mingyue, his tone became softer: "Go back. It's cold outside."

Yao Mingyue pursed his lips slightly, looked at Xu Musen, and seemed to want to say something, but he held it back and finally just snorted.

"Be careful that some people go to visit someone during the Chinese New Year and end up being kicked out of their home."

Xu Musen joked, "It shouldn't be that serious yet."

Yao Mingyue's eyes moved around Xu Musen: "Anyway, whether they treat you well or not is none of my business, but tell her that if they treat you badly, don't blame me for turning hostile and snatching her away immediately!"

If they are nice to you, she will slowly snatch people away...

Xu Musen looked at the stubborn look in Yao Mingyue's eyes, which might never change in his lifetime.

Xu Musen shook his head silently: "Do you still have anything to say to me?"

Yao Mingyue's feet dropped half an inch from the snow, but she seemed to kick the snow: "I have nothing to say to you... Be careful on the road. If something happens to you when I'm not around, no one will save you."

This mouth...

Xu Musen smiled and said, "Thank you for your good wishes. I'll leave first."

The vehicle left, leaving two tire marks on the ground. Yao Mingyue stood there, looking at the direction he left for a long time.

Only then did she take out the scarf that she had been holding behind her back, which was a little wrinkled.

This scarf, which she had spent many days knitting, was a little crooked and had nothing to do with beauty.

Her fingers were pierced by needle and thread. This was her first time to knit a scarf. Giving a boy a scarf knitted by hand was like a boy giving a girl the first bouquet of flowers, which was of great significance.

However, Yao Mingyue, who has always been very confident in herself, is still a little insecure about knitting a scarf.

She looked at the slightly "scrawl" scarf in her hand... Although it didn't look good, it was very warm.

But she hasn't mustered up the courage to send it out yet...

After all, no matter for Xu Musen or Yao Mingyue, they don't want this precious first time to be so sloppy.

This complex, awkward, uneasy, and expectant mood made Yao Mingyue more and more enlightened.

She looked down at the scarf in her hand, which was like her former self with a broken heart.

But Xu Musen still treats her as a treasure.

But now, Yao Mingyue can no longer give him her tattered self, she wants to become the one he likes most...

On the window of the villa.

Aunt Liu stood at the window and watched the scene downstairs silently.

She also chuckled and shook her head with some emotion.

Yao Mingyue started learning how to cook by watching cooking videos after she came back from Xu Musen's house.

She spent several hours making these simple dishes over and over again, and she had no idea how many times she had failed.

The scarf in her hand was also knitted. Although it was not very pretty, it was the first time Yao Mingyue knitted it herself. Her daughter had changed a lot recently, compared to the stubborn little girl who always longed for more security.

Now she has finally learned how to love others and how to express her love.

But I don't know if it's too late now...

Liu Rushuang raised her head and looked at the snow-covered scenery outside the window. It was quite cold this year, but every day from now on would be one day closer to spring.

……

evening.

In the villa in Shanghai, An Nuannuan was sitting at the table beside the bed.

She was not drawing, but writing something in her notebook, and she wrote it over and over again, repeating it silently in her mouth over and over again. But her face would always turn red, and she would feel something was wrong, so she would turn the page and start writing again.

The sun is about to set outside the window.

It's almost time to eat again.

An Nuannuan looked up at the setting sun outside the window. Her lovely face was dyed red by the warm setting sun, like a half-ripe plum.

She leaned over the table and glanced at the calendar.

The New Year has already begun, why hasn’t Santa Claus come yet? Could it be that even the Santa Claus riding on his reindeer has been capped?

Moreover, there was not a single snowflake falling in Shanghai this year. Many trees outside had lost their leaves and were bare.

I really want to play in the snow...

She puffed up her cheeks a little depressed, like an inflated puffer fish.

It has been a long time since she replenished Mu Sen's energy. She seemed to be suffering from withdrawal symptoms during this period, and she felt weak all over.

"Sister, it's time to eat."

At this time, a little head popped out, and there was some excitement in An Nannan's big eyes.

"Sister, let me take you to wash your hands."

Nannan went over and hugged her sister's arm. An Nuannuan could walk slowly on her own now, but the little girl still liked to walk forward with her sister leaning on her.

After leaving the room and going to the bathroom next door, An Nuannuan simply washed her hands and was about to go back.

But An Nannan held her sister's hand again, holding the hand sanitizer in her hand, and acted like a little adult: "Sister, our teacher said that there is a virus called hand, foot and mouth disease. We have to wash our hands for at least one or two minutes."

An Nuannuan was very willing to play along with her sister, and she slowly washed her hands, one big and one small, just like what she saw on TV.

But An Nannan's sneaky eyes always looked towards the corridor...

"Sister, did that guy say he wanted to see you recently?"

An Nannan suddenly asked.

“I think so…”

An Nuannuan thought, he said he would let Santa Claus come, but the New Year has already begun and he still hasn't come.

"Hehehe! If I had a girlfriend as good as your sister, I would definitely not be able to bear to be apart for a day. When he comes, sister, you must punish him well!"

An Nannan said this, adding fuel to the fire.

An Nuannuan blinked her big eyes as she listened. Punish him...yes, she wanted to punish him.

But before the punishment, An Nuannuan really wanted to hug him, cuddle with him, and kiss him.

Go downstairs.

In the living room, grandpa and grandma were already sitting at the dining table, and the aroma of food was wafting through the living room.

Although they usually eat well, An Nuannuan always feels that today's meal has a taste that she is particularly familiar with.

"Have you washed your hands? Let's get ready for dinner."

The grandparents seemed particularly happy today and asked their granddaughters to sit down with a smile.

On the table, today's meal feels even more sumptuous than the New Year's Eve dinner yesterday.

And grandpa and grandma also wore beautiful new clothes.

An Nuannuan asked curiously, "Why did you eat so much today?"

The grandmother touched her granddaughter's head, her eyes full of smiles: "Because today, someone came back to see you."

An Nuannuan's big eyes suddenly opened wide. She looked at the dishes on the table and found that they tasted different from usual.

Her eyes suddenly brightened with surprise.

At this moment, the kitchen door was slowly pushed open, and a tall and straight figure walked out.

An Nuannuan couldn't help but stand up. She looked towards the kitchen door with surprise that had been suppressed for a long time.

But when she saw the person standing at the kitchen door, An Nuannuan was stunned.

"Hey...Dad, Dad?"

At this moment, the tall and straight figure at the kitchen door was An Shanhai.

He was holding a food tray in his hand, and he didn't even have time to change out of his suit. He watched his daughter's expression of surprise instantly turn into a little surprise.

He also smiled helplessly, but he didn't blame Nuannuan's reaction. He hadn't been home for the New Year for several years.

It is normal for a child to feel resentful, as he owes Nuannuan and Nannan.

He came over with a plate of food, looking at his daughters who were growing bigger and bigger. He looked at An Nuannuan and Nannan, wanting to reach out and touch their heads, but withdrew his hand with a little guilt: "Dad is back, let's celebrate the New Year together, and every year from now on, we will celebrate the New Year together."

Like most traditional fathers, An Shanhai does not express his inner feelings, and even his apologies are awkward and implicit.

However, this sentence also softened the atmosphere at the table.

"Uh-huh!"

An Nuannuan nodded and looked at her father. Unconsciously, her father had really aged. Wrinkles covered his cheeks, and his upright figure looked a little tired from a close distance.

Although she had complained in her heart, she also understood that the one who was most sad after her mother passed away was her father.

An Nuannuan never wants to remember anyone’s past. They are living better and better now, and this is what her mother wants to see most.

Grandpa and grandma also had some tears in their eyes. It had been a long time since they had experienced such a happy scene.

"However, this dish is specially prepared for you by another little fellow."

An Shanhai put down the plate in his hand, looked at his daughter, smiled with some emotion, and slowly opened the lid of the plate.

There was no lobster, abalone or other delicacies on the plate, but a few white steamed buns.

To be precise, they are a few steamed buns that are pinched into the shape of rabbits, with raisins, red beans, red dates and the like used to decorate the rabbit's eyes. They look like a few real snow-white bunnies that have been steamed.

"Wow! So cute!"

An Nannan's eyes lit up immediately: "Where did you buy this?"

"Xu Musen..."

However, An Nuannuan, who had just sat down, stood up again. She looked at the rabbit steamed bun on the plate, and the slight disappointment she had just felt was now swept away by the huge surprise.

Kaka...

The kitchen door was opened again, and the person that An Nuannuan was talking about came out with a gentle smile.

Xu Musen was wearing an apron and holding An Nuannuan's favorite dessert in his hand. He looked like he had walked out of an idol TV series.

He came in front of An Nuannuan and smiled at her gently.

"Nuan Nuan, Santa Claus is stuck in traffic, I came to see you on his behalf."

An Nuannuan's cute face seemed to be covered by a layer of red light at this moment, and the longing in her eyes seemed to materialize and turned into strength to support her body.

She stood up, staggered two steps, and threw herself into Xu Musen's arms.

"Xu Musen..."

The girl chanted his name, as if all the longing for him during these days of not seeing him melted into these three words, and melted into Xu Musen's arms.

Xu Musen reached out and gently stroked her head. This was also the most proud treasure of his life.

"Happy New Year, I will be with you in every year to come."

At this moment, the winter is so warm.

My grandparents looked kind; they had all been through this and knew how sincere and precious this moment's emotion was.

An Nannan looked at her and hummed a few times, still a little jealous. Her sister had never hugged her so excitedly.

And it was me who was covering for this guy just now.

Humph! Without ten grilled sausages and three cups of milk tea, you can’t pay off your debt!

An Shanhai's expression was a bit complicated, he was happy but also a little melancholy as an old father.

As the saying goes, when you get a wife, you forget your mother.

The same applies to girls.

However, An Shanhai was still relieved in his heart, because he knew that there were many things he could not make up for to his daughter.

Now, the most important thing is that their daughter can live a happy life. This is also the most perfect New Year's Eve dinner they have had together in all these years...
