"That doesn't mean that you can't ask and make the decision for him. Madam Mo, no one knows what will happen in the future. If you can't see it with your own eyes, you can't speculate at will. Not to mention, they are still such innocent children. How can you put evil intentions on them so easily? Moreover, I think you should believe in Jinxi's judgment and believe that he can handle things well. "
"Even if there are no children from the orphanage, do you think that those children from Jixia School are innocent and kind and can be friends with them for a lifetime? Those children are more scheming than ordinary children from a young age. Jinxi is one of them now, so he should learn these things. " The old dean said, "In the future, if the children walk a different path, if their feelings are different from now, it's also the children's business. Jinxi knows how to choose and should learn how to do it. Mrs. Mo, I know you are doing this for Jinxi's sake, but you can't protect him like this forever. He has to grow up. If you guys are gone, then he will have to face the ups and downs of life by himself. At that time, no one will protect him. "
Liang Xiulin didn't say anything. Looking at the expression on her face, it was unknown if she was thinking about the old dean's words.
"Moreover, Stone and Tiantian are both innocent and good children. They haven't changed. It's unfair for you to define them now. Mrs. Mo, I hope you can think about it carefully. You also want Jinxi to be happy. Be good to him, not control him. If you don't like Jinxi coming to the orphanage, I have no opinion. It's enough that I know that Jinxi has always remembered us. I won't leave the children to look for him alone, "the old dean said." If possible, let's talk on the phone more often. "
Liang Xiulin's face was a little hot. She didn't expect that the old dean could see through her deliberately interrupting the previous few calls.
Facing the old dean's kind and tolerant face, Liang Xiulin couldn't sit still.
She stood up, adjusted her collar, and said, "I understand. I will go back and think about it."
That night, Mo Jinxi called Lin Chu excitedly and said, "Chu Chu, do you know? Today, grandma promised me that she will take me to the orphanage for New Year's visit! "
"Really?" Lin Chu was also surprised. He didn't expect Liang Xiulin to actually agree. In such a short time, she actually thought it through?
"Yes, I think Grandpa talked to Grandma about it. Grandpa came back early today, and he talked to Grandma for a long time in the room. When they came out, Grandma said that we can go to the orphanage for New Year's," Mo Jinxi said. Lin Chu couldn't see through the phone, but his mouth was wide open.
Indeed, Chief Mo had communicated with Liang Xiulin. For the past few days, Chief Mo had been very busy. He had left early and returned late. Now that he was finally done with his work, he came home at the usual time. He mentioned bringing Mo Jinxi to visit the orphanage.
Chief Mo hadn't forgotten what he had promised Mo Jinxi. Moreover, Mo Jinxi's grades had been very good recently, so Chief Mo took the initiative to mention it to Liang Xiulin.
Liang Xiulin hesitated and told him about her visit to the orphanage today, including her thoughts and the words of the old dean.
Although Liang Xiulin was a little snobbish, she had one good thing about her. She never lied to Chief Mo and always told him the truth.
When Chief Mo heard this, he agreed with the old dean.
"The child has to grow up, especially in a family like ours. Sooner or later, there will be an opportunity for the child to grow up. If it's not this, it will be something else. It might be more serious. The old dean is right. We can't protect him forever. If we protect him too well, he will suffer in the future and can't take care of himself, "Chief Mo said.
So, Liang Xiulin agreed to let Mo Jinxi visit the orphanage.
In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's. Lin Chu was due to give birth in a month.
This was the first time she celebrated the New Year with Yan Beicheng. Last year, on New Year's Eve, or the first day of the lunar year, Yan Beicheng came to see her.
This was the first time she spent the New Year with the Yan family. Although there weren't as many people as at the orphanage, it was still very lively.
Originally, Lin Chu wanted to go to the orphanage to help the old dean make dumplings. There were many children, so she had to make more dumplings. It was a very happy but tiring thing.
But because she was about to give birth, the old dean didn't allow her to run around. She said that Mr. Wang and Mr. Yuan would help her make dumplings in the orphanage in the morning.
In the old house, Lin Chu was pregnant, so it was inconvenient for her to work. Old Lady Yan let her play with her phone.
Lin Chu felt sorry for herself. She felt that they were all working, and even Yan Zhiqing was helping. It was too embarrassing for her to just wave her hands and do nothing.
So, Old Lady Yan asked her to pick up the dumplings. Lin Chu thought about it. Okay, this could be considered as helping.
Yan Zhiqing's legs were already very agile. She sat around the dining table with them and wrapped dumplings. She had never wrapped dumplings before. The dumplings that she wrapped were either so full that the dumpling skin couldn't be closed, or the fillings were so little that they looked like slices of dough.
Finally, Old Lady Yan couldn't stand it anymore and pushed a basin to her. "Here are chestnuts and rice cakes. You can make these. It's easy. Just wrap it in flour and it will do. "
Yan Zhiqing: "..."
In order to add some novelty, Lin Chu had nothing to do at home during the holidays, so she watched TV and surfed the Internet. She followed several cooking accounts. Several of the accounts were teaching her how to make Jade Cabbage Dumplings. The dumpling skin looked like Jade Cabbage.
Lin Chu noted it down. Today, she brought spinach over. She squeezed it into juice and kneaded it into the dough. She separated a piece of green dough and a piece of white dough.
Old Lady Yan, Auntie Chen, Yu Zi, and Yan Zhiqing all learned from Lin Chu. They combined the two colors of dough together and rolled out the dumpling skin. The dumplings really looked like Jade Cabbage.
Yan Ningbai was playing with firecrackers with the kids outside. The adults didn't allow them to set off dangerous firecrackers. They would usually give them a box of firecrackers wrapped in white paper that looked like small buns. They would throw them on the ground with all their might, and when they hit the ground, they would explode with a "pa" sound, creating a series of explosions. There was no danger, and it could satisfy the joy of the sudden crackling sound. It was very popular with children.
Fireworks were the highlight of the evening, so Yan Ningbai played outside for more than an hour. The firecrackers were gone, and her little face was a little stiff and red. She ran back.
As soon as she entered the house, she took off her gloves, coat, and hat, threw them on the sofa, and rushed into the dining room.
She found that this year's dumplings were very different. They were emerald green and looked very beautiful.
Actually, Yan Ningbai didn't really like eating dumplings. He liked the same ingredients, meatballs, and the same vegetables and meat fried. But as long as it was wrapped in a layer of dumpling skin, the taste seemed to change, and he didn't like it.
But every year, he liked to eat coins out of the dumplings.
But this year, these emerald green dumplings seemed to be very appetizing.
Yan Ningbai curiously went over and stretched out his chubby little hand to grab one to take a look.
"Pa!" The back of his hand was slapped by Yu Zi.
"Go wash your hands first. You can only touch them after you wash your hands." Yu Zi retracted her hand and continued to roll the dumpling skin.
Yan Ningbai said, "Oh." He went to the kitchen and washed his hands on his tiptoes. He didn't have a towel, so he looked around and took two tissues to wipe his hands clean. Then, he immediately ran back.
Only then did he stretch out his white chubby little hand and gently pinched the dumpling. "So beautiful!"
"Good. Eat more when you see it," Old Lady Yan said with a smile.
Yan Ningbai kept nodding. "How did you make it?"
"I added spinach juice," Lin Chu explained. "I saw that there was a little too much dough. If there's any leftover, I'll make you handmade noodles. Green noodles."
Yan Ningbai hurriedly nodded. He grabbed the emerald green dumpling and sniffed it. "It doesn't smell like spinach."
The spinach was astringent, and he didn't like the taste either.
"Because when it's squeezed into juice and added into the noodles, the taste won't be obvious," Lin Chu explained.
Yan Ningbai put down the dumpling. Seeing that Yu Zi was stuffing the dumpling, he immediately said, "Put more meat! Put more meat! "
"Aren't you tired of it?" Yu Zi said as she picked up another prawn and put it in. She pinched the dumpling with her fingers and wrapped it up.
Yan Ningbai swallowed a mouthful of food. "It's fine to put in more shrimp."
"When is Huaian coming?" Old Lady Yan looked at the time. It was still early.
"Should be soon. He just sent me a WeChat message saying that he left the company," Yu Zi said.
Yan Beicheng used the excuse of taking care of Lin Chu, a pregnant woman, and threw most of the company matters to Yan Huaian. Hence, Yan Beicheng was on leave today, but Yan Huaian still had to work overtime at the company.
Because of this, Yan Huaian often complained about Yan Beicheng at home, saying that Yan Beicheng would affect him having a second child.
Just as Old Lady Yan finished nagging, Yan Huaian came in. He didn't take off his coat or scarf, and his body was filled with the cold outside. Snowflakes fell on his black woolen coat.
Yu Zi was stunned. "It's snowing outside?"
"Yes, it's starting to snow. It's quite big." Yan Huaian nodded. He wanted to hug Yu Zi, but he realized that his coat was too cold, so he took it off. He snuggled up and took it off before coming back and hugging Yu Zi from behind.
Yan Ningbai completely ignored his father's public display of affection and cheered. "I want to go out and see the snow!"
Old Lady Yan stretched her neck and shouted from behind, "Put on your coat before you go out."
Lin Chu was considering if he should empty the dining room to give Yan Huaian and Yu Zi some space. The two of them were really blinded.
Of course, Yu Zi was very calm, mainly because Yan Huaian was showing off.
Yan Huaian looked at Lin Chu's belly and said, "When Lin Chu gives birth to the child and finishes her confinement, we'll have a second child."
Yu Zi was speechless.
Lin Chu couldn't help but be curious. "Why do you have to wait until I finish my confinement?"
Yan Huaian glanced at Yan Beicheng, who was in the living room behind him, and said, "Yan Beicheng said that he has to wait on you during your confinement, so he doesn't have time to work."
