On the first wedding anniversary, Shen Wanying got off work early. As usual, Huo Cheng drove to the company to pick her up from get off work.
The two bought the ingredients for dinner in advance, and now Huo Cheng drove the car home.
Shen Wanying is the head chef tonight, Huo Cheng has given her plenty of room to play, and he only helps her on the side.
Shen Wanying's cooking skills were also learned from famous teachers, but she lacked actual combat experience and was not skilled enough, but she was still relatively confident.
A sumptuous dinner like this is usually suitable for a drink or two, but unfortunately now that Shen Wanying is pregnant and can't drink, Huo Cheng didn't bring out the red wine.
For dinner this time, no wine, no cake, and no quarrelling neighbors.
Shen Wanying's steak was fried just right, and before the official meal, Shen Wanying took out the anniversary gift she prepared: "This is my latest Chinese-style perfume, and it is also our company's next flagship. Product. For you."
The perfume is the same as Huo Cheng's previous impressions, the packaging and bottle design are full of national style, with a few finishing touches, it is also bright red like the wedding dress worn by a married bride.
It's a pity that he hasn't had time to use it in his last life.
Shen Wanying looked at him and introduced to him: "The name of this perfume is, let's have a good night together."
Huo Cheng hooked his lips lightly, and said to Shen Wanying, "It's a very imaginative name."
"Cough." Shen Wanying coughed pretentiously, breaking the embarrassment, "Perfume is a product of romance."
"Well." Huo Cheng took the perfume and told her, "I like it very much, thank you."
"You're welcome, as long as you like it." Shen Wanying said, "This perfume is a neutral perfume that can be used by both men and women."
Huo Cheng nodded, put the perfume aside, and took out his own gift: "This is the first anniversary gift I gave you."
He was holding a beautifully packaged small box in his hand, and Shen Wanying stared at the box expectantly and curiously: "What is it?"
"You'll know when you open it." Huo Cheng took the box and walked over. Shen Wanying took the box, opened it carefully, and saw a necklace inside.
The necklace is beautifully done, with a little girl's pendant hanging in the middle, and a flying bee beside it.
"It's so beautiful." Shen Wanying turned the pendant in the middle, "This little girl looks like me."
Huo Chengdao: "Well, it's you."
"Is it really me?" Shen Wanying was a little surprised, "Is this made by you?"
Huo Cheng nodded slightly: "I designed it, and then asked someone to do it for me."
Shen Wanying and Huo Cheng have been together over the years. Huo Cheng has given her many, many gifts, but the one he designed himself must be the most special among them: "I didn't expect you to design necklaces."
Huo Chengdao: "I learned oil painting with my mother when I was a child, and this little girl is the oil painting I drew for reference."
The pair of Shen Wanying painted by Huo Cheng has been kept at home by his father since it was sent from abroad. After he married Shen Wanying, this painting was also brought to his current home. Shen Wanying liked the painting very much, so she found someone to make a photo frame specially, and hung the oil painting in the basement to decorate their family KTV.
"If you say that, it really is! No wonder I thought it was me when I saw it." After knowing that it was Huo Cheng's painting of her, Shen Wanying couldn't put it down even more, "This bee is so cute. "
"I'll help you put it on." Huo Cheng took the necklace, pushed Shen Wanying's hair in front of him, and put the necklace on Shen Wanying's neck gently.
"Does it look good?" After wearing the necklace, Shen Wanying couldn't wait to ask Huo Cheng. Huo Cheng smiled, patted her head and said, "It's beautiful."
Shen Wanying took a picture of herself with her mobile phone, she thought it was really pretty, and she said to Huo Cheng happily, "Let's have dinner then!"
"it is good."
This time the anniversary passed without incident, and every day after that is brand new for Huo Cheng.
After the year, Shen Wanying stopped going to the company and took maternity leave at home. Huo Cheng hired an experienced aunt to accompany her at home.
Relatives of the two families often came to see Shen Wanying. As the due date approached, everyone's nerves became more and more tense.
Huo Cheng moved his office directly to his home. If it wasn't for something very important, he would not go to the company and work directly at home. The two spend significantly more time together every day than before, and they often talk about their children.
Before the due date, Huo Cheng asked Shen Wanying, "Do you want a girl or a boy?"
Shen Wanying thought about it and said to him, "Do you still remember Maugham's "The Veil"? After the heroine was pregnant, she said that she wanted to have a girl, and she hoped that her daughter would not make the mistakes she once made, and Hopefully she can become a free and self-reliant person."
Huo Cheng replied softly, "Yeah," and put his arms around her and said, "So you want a girl?"
Shen Wanying smiled and said: "Actually, both boys and girls are fine. I hope our children are also free and independent people, not living in the eyes of others, but being their true self."
Huo Cheng seemed to be touched by these words, he kissed Shen Wanying on the cheek, looked at her and said, "Yes."
Shen Wanying finally gave birth to a baby girl, and she named her Xinyue.
The little baby inherited all the advantages of the parents' appearance, and was born a very beautiful little princess.
Originally, as the daughter of Shen Wanying and Huo Cheng, Huo Xinyue was doted on her whole life, and she was so beautiful, which made everyone dote on her even more.
>
> Shen Wanying also loves her daughter very much, and at the same time is worried that her daughter will be spoiled, so she will not be soft-hearted when it is strict. Everyone said that the father would dote on his daughter more. Shen Wanying was also worried that Huo Cheng would also spoil Huo Xinyue indefinitely, which was inconsistent with her opinion, but on the point of children's education, Huo Cheng fully matched her rhythm and should be strict time is strict.
So Shen Wanying found out that Huo Cheng still pampered her a little more.
Huo Xinyue thrived under the education and favor of her parents, but when she talked about her parents, she still had one or two complaints occasionally.
The following passage is excerpted from a composition written by Mr. Huo Xinyue when he was in elementary school. The title is "My Mom and Dad".
"My parents like to travel, and our home is full of their pictures, some in the desert, some on the seabed, some in the grassland, some in the mountains... I'm the only one in the family, and I've never been to any of these places. ."
Language teacher: "..."
The language teacher gave Huo Xinyue's composition full marks, and then went to Huo Xinyue's house in a home visit arrangement.
Knowing that the teacher was coming, Huo Cheng and Shen Wanying were waiting at home in advance. The teacher came on time, and it was Huo Cheng who opened the door for her. Seeing Huo Cheng in the door, the teacher felt that he had hit him hard in his heart.
She has seen Huo Cheng several times, but every time she sees him, she thinks he is more handsome than the last time.
But what's the use of this, such a handsome man will always belong to someone else.
Huo Cheng invited the teacher into the living room, and Shen Wanying just came out with the brewed tea.
Home visit is a task arranged by the school for the teacher. It must be done once every semester. The teacher will talk about the situation of the students in the school and communicate with the parents how to educate the children together.
"The specific situation of Huo Xinyue is like this. She is an excellent child. I can also feel that she lives in a bad environment full of love, so she is also very friendly to other classmates." The teacher praised Huo Xinyue's advantages. , After complimenting, she noticed a photo on the TV cabinet in the living room.
It was a group photo of Huo Cheng and Shen Wanying, with a vast desert in the background.
Obviously, there is no child Huo Xinyue in this photo.
"Is this the photo you took when you were traveling?" The teacher led the topic in this direction without a trace. Shen Wanying followed her gaze and nodded with a smile: "Yes, we just went on vacation this year."
"Oh, that's it." The teacher responded and said with a smile, "I read Huo Xinyue's composition, and she said you guys like traveling very much."
Shen Wanying said: "No, we are usually busy with work, so we cherish the opportunity to take vacation and try to go out and play."
"Oh... Then will you bring Huo Xinyue?"
Huo Chengdao: "She is still relatively young, and she can't go to many places we go."
The teacher thought about it, deserts, seabeds, grasslands, mountains... are indeed not very suitable for children.
"It's like this." She took out Huo Xinyue's composition text, "I set up a topic before, called "My Mom and Dad", and Huo Xinyue said in it that you often go out to play, but never take her with you."
Shen Wanying: "..."
Huo Cheng: "..."
Huo Cheng took the composition text and looked at it. Huo Xinyue's composition was very short, and he finished it with just two eyes. After reading it, he handed the composition text to Shen Wanying and explained to the teacher: "It's not that we don't take her, If you can't take her, when she grows up a bit, you can take her out."
The teacher nodded: "I understand, but you can occasionally choose to go to some places where children can go, otherwise I'm worried that if things go on like this, children will misunderstand you in their hearts."
Huo Chengdao: "We take her to amusement parks every month, and we also take her to domestic attractions during festivals. It's not the same every time. I've been abroad twice."
teacher:"… "
What's going on, she heard a bit of envy.
Shen Wanying held the workbook in her hand and said to the teacher, "We usually take her to a safer place, and there are no exciting projects. When she sees us going to the desert and diving, she wants to go even after making a fuss. We didn't agree, so she wrote it in the composition, presumably wanting the teacher to do the work for us."
teacher:"… "
So was she being tricked by a little child of how old
"I'm sorry for causing trouble to the teacher, we will communicate with her again."
"That's good." The teacher stood up with a smile, "It's not too early today, so I'll go first."
Shen Wanying and Huo Cheng saw the teacher away, and as soon as they entered the living room, they saw little Huo Xinyue standing on the second floor looking down.
"Have you finished your homework?" Huo Cheng asked her.
Huo Xinyue nodded and asked him, "Is the teacher gone?"
"Well, just left." Huo Cheng beckoned to her, "Come down, we have something to talk to you about."
Huo Xinyue's eyes lit up, and she ran down, "Dad, what's the matter? Did you and your mother decide to take me diving?"
Huo Cheng shook his head ruthlessly: "No."
Huo Xinyue curled the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "Then climbing is fine."
Shen Wanying patiently said to her: "Xinyue, my mother told you many times that you can't play this until you grow up."
Huo Xinyue's face collapsed completely: "Why do I grow so slowly? When will I be bigger?"
Huo Cheng was amused by her, and he kissed her on the small face: "Come soon."
