My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1346 Party Part 4

The children finished taking a bath.

Jiang Yiren handed her eldest son to Zhongxia to hold, and then took her pajamas and went into the bathroom. With more children, the house was bound to be messy. Xiao Zishan and Li Ran liked to pile their clothes in the sink after taking a shower.

The other three girls, especially Zhongxia and Bai Xiaoxiao, would hand-wash their underwear and hang it on the balcony after taking a bath, while promptly stuffing their other clothes into the bathroom.

The bathroom will be cleaned up afterwards.

This is the most obvious difference between the older and younger girls. However, even if she doesn't clean up, Sister Ma will come up and clean up after she finishes cleaning the kitchen. Before the New Year, Jiang Yiren paid the nanny and Sister Ma their salaries and gave them tens of thousands of yuan more.

The two of them have indeed been working very hard during this period, cooking for so many people every day. However, it's only during the Lunar New Year. Apart from helping their two sons and tidying up the house, there isn't much else to do.

Mr. Zhang is not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble for no reason.

So does she.

When the two of them are at home and taking care of the child, Sister Ma and Sister Huang would often get together and chat. She had seen this many times but never paid attention. Moreover, she and Mr. Zhang never let the two of them eat leftovers; they ate whatever their family ate.

It's just a matter of doing more.

The refrigerator contains some expensive ingredients, and the two of them can steam a bowl of it whenever they like. Because of this, Sister Ma is noticeably fatter than before, and so is Sister Huang.

Her eldest son is now shy around strangers, but as long as Xiao Zishan is around, both of her sons become unusually well-behaved. They will let anyone hold them as long as Xiao Zishan is in sight, but if Xiao Zishan is not around, they will fuss if anyone holds them except for familiar people.

After taking a shower, Jiang Yiren found several girls already sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala. She didn't know what time her husband would appear tonight, but she decided to watch it slowly.
Xiao Zishan and Li Ran watched the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning while eating sunflower seeds and occasionally picking a grape from the fruit plate. Zhong Xue was teasing Jiang Ziyi, who was being held in Zhong Xia's arms. The little girl was quite good at making people laugh, and Jiang Ziyi laughed out loud.

After laughing, her eldest son would glance at his sister, seemingly noticing that she was ignoring him, and then continue laughing.

Sister Huang also sat on the sofa with Jiang Zichu in her arms, watching the Spring Festival Gala.

"Is Mr. Zhang going to sing karaoke tonight?!"

Sister Huang asked.

"I do not know!"

Jiang Yiren smiled and replied, "He was called over at the last minute this afternoon. I wanted to ask him about it, but I was worried that it might affect his rehearsals in the studio, so I didn't. I guess he was singing!"

I think it should be playing the piano.

Xiao Zishan offered a different opinion, saying, "My dad is the best pianist. He plays at the Golden City Awards ceremony, and he'll definitely play tonight too."

"I think so too"

Li Ran nodded in agreement.

"Then let's make a bet."

Jiang Yiren smiled and said, "If Mr. Zhang sings, you two will have to hand over all the lucky money you received this year. If he plays the piano, I'll double your lucky money."

As she spoke, Jiang Yiren turned to the other three young women and said, "Would you like to join in? If you lose, I'll really take the money; if you win, don't be shy."

Xiao Zishan's eyes darted around a few times.

He whispered a few words to Li Ran, then the girl immediately shook her head and said, "My dad said gambling is bad, so we can't gamble."

"You're such a coward, I think you're just afraid of losing."

Jiang Yiren said unhappily.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to get all the New Year's money her two daughters had earned back! That way, she wouldn't let them take tens of thousands of New Year's money and then try to squeeze millions more out of Mr. Zhang.

To the two girls, Mr. Zhang was like a coin-spitting machine; just a couple of coins in and he'd spit out tons of coins. "Of course I'm scared!"

To Jiang Yiren's surprise, her daughter surprisingly backed down tonight, saying, "I only have this little bit of money left, and I want to save it for later! If I lose, I won't have a single penny left, and I won't feel safe."

"See? Your senior sister, Zhongxia, is laughing at you."

Jiang Yiren replied.

"I didn't laugh at Zhang Zishan, I just found her talking funny."

Zhongxia quickly offered an explanation.

Right now, the TV is playing a performance by three singers. None of them are professional singers; they are all popular actors. This has become a major feature of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years, mainly to attract the younger generation. However, it has indeed put the cart before the horse. It's not that the actors can't sing, but if you're going to ask them to sing, you should find more professional singers.

Then, two more actors performed.

This is why many singers want to work on the big screen, because in many people's eyes, actors have higher commercial value and greater fame than singers. These two are both new actors who have emerged in recent years and are singing a song called "Abundant Harvest". As a professional singer, Jiang Yiren thinks it doesn't sound good.

But nowadays, the Spring Festival Gala no longer pays much attention to the content itself or the desired effect; it only pursues a symbolic meaning, while the sound of fireworks exploding outside the window continues to drift in.

What followed was a performance of singing and dancing, along with a rap by a singer, which also incorporated elements of Peking Opera. However, setting aside the content itself, the stage effects of the Spring Festival Gala have indeed been getting better and better.

"Mom, these people sing even worse than you."

Xiaozi Shan commented.

Thank you!

Jiang Yiren replied irritably.

If it weren't for wanting to see her husband perform, Jiang Yiren would have preferred to go out and watch the children set off fireworks. The stage effects were impeccable, but the content was somewhat disappointing.

At this time.

Her phone rang.

Jiang Yiren picked it up, opened it, and said to Li Ran, "Your master is going on stage. He wants you to listen carefully to his performance."

Li Ran quickly put the melon seeds in her hand into the small dish and started watching TV seriously. The others also sat up straight, even Zhong Xia.

After the rap performance, which incorporated elements of Peking Opera, ended, Mr. Zhang appeared on the television screen. Dressed in a black suit, he was sitting in a chair in front of a piano.

"Mom, you lost the bet."

Xiao Zishan spoke.

Jiang Yiren didn't even glance at her daughter.

She wanted to gamble earlier, but this girl wouldn't gamble herself. Now she's saying things like this. Seeing that her mother wasn't paying attention to her, Xiao Shan, feeling a bit awkward, also looked at the TV.

The camera was focused on Mr. Zhang's face.

The television screen displays an introduction to a piano piece.

"Croatian Rhapsody, performed by Zhang You," Jiang Yiren then saw Mr. Zhang on TV placing his fingers on the piano keys. At first, it seemed normal, no different from when he played the piano upstairs at home.

But soon after, Jiang Yiren saw her husband's fingers flying across the piano keys at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time, the piece seemed to burst forth completely.

It's as if it resonates with the raging wind and rain.
