Afterward, Mr. Qin continued to make dumplings with his children. After several attempts, he gradually found the trick, and finally finished an acceptable-looking dumpling. However, Su Xiaobao still looked down on Mr. Qinβs βcreationsβ and deliberately separated what he made from the ones made by Mr. Qin, which were pretty apparent.
On the side, Su Bei kept rolling out dough to make new wrappers. Seeing Su Xiaobaoβs quick movement, Mr. Qin also focused fully on the task. Seeing Mr. Qinβs focus, Su Beiβs eyes flashed. She wiped her flour-stained hands on her apron and quietly took out another badge from her pocket. While Mr. Qin didnβt pay attention, she secretly pinned the badge on the corner of Mr. Qinβs clothes.
Looking at the words [Excellent Dad] on the badge, Su Bei smiled triumphantly and nodded in satisfaction.
Regarding his daughterβs little action, Mr. Qin chose to pretend not to notice.
β¦
On the other side, Su Xiaobao, who found himself far ahead, was feeling itchy. He took a lump of dough and began to fiddle with it. Soon, two puppies-shaped dough figures were born from his hands.
If Su Xiaobaoβs little fans at school knew that their βYoung Master Suβ still had this skill, they might be exploded: βSu Xiaobao is so great,β βYoung Master Su can do anything,β βI want to become a dough in Young Master Suβs hand,β βAaahh! Young master Su, please make one for meβ¦β
Su Bei has been accustomed to Su Xiaobaoβs skill. Every time they made dumplings for Chinese New Year, he would make two dough figures.
Su Xiaobao placed the two dough puppies side by side. After hesitating for a moment, he took another lump of dough to make a larger dog and put it next to the puppies.
βHave you finished? Alright, Iβll steam it now.β Su Bei picked up the plate with dough figures on it. Two puppies and one adult dog. One of the puppies looked soft and cute, the other one was ferocious, and the adult dogβ¦was even more ferocious. But seeing Mr. Qinβs expression, he seemed to be quite pleasant.

That evening, Su Bei prepared the dinner. Most of the domestic worker in the villa has returned to their hometown for the holiday. Although the family could find temporary workers, because it was a New Year, itβs better to not disturb others.
Except for the freshly-made dumplings, Su Bei also prepared several side dishes. Although she couldnβt make particularly complex or high-end dishes, just a few simple home-made meals were enough to make Mr. Qin brag endlessly on his WeChat.
Father, son, and daughter. A family of three sat on a table full of simple dishes. The atmosphere didnβt feel deserted at all. On the contrary, it was very warm.
Looking at the two children, Mr. Qinβs eyes overflowed with warmth. Even since he could remember things, Qin Jinguo and Yang Guizhiβs relationship was not harmonious. This was Qin Shaoβs first time feeling the joy of celebrating the New Year together with his family.
βDad.β
βMm?β
βThank you.β Su Bei raised the glass of grape juice in her hands. Her shiny eyes and warm smile seemed to melt Mr. Qinβs heart.
βThank me for what?β Mr. Qin asked, his eyebrows raised.
βThank you for taking us into your family and for being willing to raise us.β
Su Xiaobao also took Su Beiβs words and added: βThank you for not disliking us.β
Hearing this, Mr. Qin couldnβt help but smiled. He suddenly felt quite emotional. It should be him who had to thank them. He was thankful for their existence, thankful for coming to him, and thankful for them to choose him over their biological mother.
As for the dislikeβ¦At first, he was indeed a bit disgusted at them. But now, they were his pride.
β
After they finished eating dinner and washing dishes, Mr. Qin glanced at the clock.
βLetβs go upstairs.β
βHuh?β
βA gift from me.β
βOkay!β The siblings said in unison.
Originally, Su Bei thought Mr. Qin was going to give them physical things, similar to the tie, socks, andβ¦.underwear they gave him. However, as soon as they arrived on the second floor, a splendid firework was flared outside the large french windows and fell into their eyes.
Afterward, colorful fireworks bloomed one by one over the villa.
βHow beautiful!β After recovering from the initial shock, Su Bei looked up at the sky full of fireworks in surprise.
In the past, the siblings often saw fireworks being lit in the county town, but they were merely looking from a distance. For the first time, Su Bei and Su Xiaobao watched fireworks at such a close distance. It was so dazzling. Their entire sight was filled with colorful fireworks. This scenery was simply too fantastical.
βDad.β Su Bei pulled Mr. Qinβs arm: βLetβs watch it outside.β
Qin Shao: βItβs cold outside. Isnβt it the same watching from here?β
βItβs not the same. Fireworks should be watched outdoors. Itβs all about the atmosphere.β
Su Xiaobao nodded in agreement.
Faced with his daughterβs rare persistence, Mr. Qin finally nodded: βGo back first and put on more coats.β
It was not until he saw the twins wrapped tightly like two balls that Mr. Qin nodded in satisfaction and led them to the terrace. Outside the house, it was indeed pretty cold. Su Bei shuddered as soon as she was outside. Although she watched the fireworks enthusiastically, her body subconsciously snuggled towards Mr. Qin.
βDidnβt I tell you that itβs cold outside?β Qin Shao lowered his gaze at Su Bei and chuckled.
βNot too cold.β While Su Bei stubbornly said that she didnβt feel cold, she secretly put her cold hand into the pocket of Mr. Qinβs coat.
The next moment, a warm and big hand wrapped Su Beiβs cold hand.
