Chapter 95: Parent-Child Interaction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The two babies were lying side by side. When Jiang Yu saw this, she stretched out her small hand and grabbed Tan Ming’s fingers. She babbled, as if she was dissatisfied that her mother did not touch her first when she returned home.
When Li Mei saw this scene, she smiled and teased Jiang Yu, giving her a nickname. “What a little gangster. She can’t stand being ignored at all. She even has to be jealous of her younger brother.”
The corners of Tan Ming’s lips curled up into a gentle smile. “Their personalities are really the complete opposite. The older sister is like a boy, lively and loud, while the younger brother is quiet and reserved. Even when he smiles, he’s very reserved. The corners of his lips only curl up slightly to let us know that he’s happy.”
Tan Ming’s hand moved in the direction of Jiang Yu’s small hand.
When Jiang Yu saw that she had successfully pulled her mother’s hand over, she quickly raised her other hand to hold it, as if she was afraid that her fingers would be pulled away. Then, she looked at Tan Ming and revealed a toothless smile.
Tan Ming’s heart softened when she saw her daughter’s smile.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi did not make a fuss. He looked at Tan Ming with his big black eyes and pouted. He did not say anything.
However, he did not hide the grievance in his eyes at all. Tan Ming’s heart ached and she felt guilty. She hurriedly reached out her free hand and touched Jiang Yi’s little head. Then, she pulled Jiang Yi’s little hand and coaxed softly, “Mommy did not forget Little Yi either. You and Big Sister are both my little babies.”
Jiang Yi’s face instantly lit up. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. His shy look made Tan Ming and Li Mei laugh.
Fortunately, Jiang Yu was not so domineering as to insist on monopolizing her mom alone. Jiang Yu glanced at Jiang Yi and generously shared Tan Ming’s other hand with her younger brother.
When Li Mei saw the interaction between her daughter and her two grandchildren, she patted Tan Ming’s head and said with emotion, “Growing up with the babies is really the happiest thing for a mother. Witnessing them from the moment they were born to learning how to speak, to learning how to walk, to school, and to work is also the process of you accompanying each other. When they are sensible and start to feel sorry for you, you will feel that everything is worth it, no matter how difficult this process is.”
Although Tan Ming had only been a mother for a few months, she could already experience this feeling. The fatigue from studying and working every day would disappear when she returned home at night to see them.
Perhaps it was because she was a mother, but Tan Ming could understand her biological parents’ regret of missing her for 23 years. She didn’t dare to imagine that the babies would disappear from her world. If that day came, she felt that she would definitely break down.
Tan Ming straightened up and hugged Li Mei’s arm. She leaned her head affectionately on Li Mei’s shoulder.
When the siblings lying on the bed saw that their mother was not hugging them, they surprisingly did not express their dissatisfaction. They only bit their fingers and played with their fingers, enjoying the quiet time of three generations.
After Tan Si confirmed that Tan Ming’s audition was successful, her rare good mood was ruined again.
When Zhou Yun came to visit the production team, Tan Si was acting in a conflict scene that needed to be filmed under the sun.
The midsummer air was full of heat, and the cicadas in the trees kept chirping.
Tan Si had finally finished filming and could take a half-hour break. She immediately ran back to the trailer to enjoy the air conditioning. Zhou Yun followed behind.
After getting into the car, Tan Si sat down in the car seat and complained impatiently, “This damn weather is so hot. Those netizens still say that our pay is too high all day long. In such weather, I should be getting a few million yuan for this six months, in fact even tens of millions!”
Zhou Yun patted Tan Si’s hand and signaled with her eyes that there was a driver in the car. She was careful whenever there were ears around.
The salary of the local ordinary people was only five to six thousand yuan a month. So what if they were exposed to the sun outside in the summer? There were many people who were exposed to the sun from sunrise to sunset. There were not many people in the entire production team who could have a trailer where she could rest at any time like Tan Si.
Sometimes, Zhou Yun could not help but lament that people had different lives. Tan Si was used to being pampered since she was young. She could only say such things so easily without experiencing the hardships of the common people.
If news of this got out, it being only exposed online would be the least of their concerns. Even if the staff around the artist had signed a confidentiality agreement, they could not guarantee that everything the artist said and did would not be leaked. If they did not want others to know, they had to ensure it themselves.
When Tan Si saw how careful Zhou Yun was, she secretly rolled her eyes. Although she did not think that there was anything wrong with what she said, she did not say anything to refute her..
