SFS Chapter 34 Black Card
Chapter 34 Black Card
As the Crown Princess, she may not need to cook soup herself, but mastering this skill is a required course for her.
Moreover, most of the dishes she is proficient in are medicinal cuisine that provides nutritional benefits.
So tonight's dinner was a carefully prepared medicinal cuisine, tailored to the constitutions and needs of her family members.
On the dining table, chestnut stewed chicken is warm and nourishing, lotus seed and pork tripe soup is calming and soothing, yam and meatloaf steamed with egg has a delicate and smooth texture, crucian carp and tofu soup is incredibly delicious, broccoli, carrot and wood ear stir-fry is colorful, pumpkin steamed with pork ribs is soft and delicious, lotus root steamed with meat is fresh and juicy, and dried scallop seafood porridge is even more flavorful.
These eight dishes not only combat autumn dryness but also boost immunity, earning high praise from everyone.
"Xiao Chu, this steamed lotus root with pork is so delicious, I want another piece!" Xie Linxiao quickly picked up another piece of steamed lotus root with pork.
"Xiao Chu, this crucian carp and tofu soup is absolutely delicious!" Grandma Feng blew on the hot soup, took a sip, and squinted her eyes to savor its deliciousness.
"Xiao Chu, how come the chicken in the chestnut stew is so tender and smooth? It's not dry at all!" Lin Zhenghua said, gnawing on the chicken with a satisfied expression.
"Xiao Chu, the steamed pumpkin and pork ribs are so tender, even Grandpa can eat them!" Grandpa Xie praised as soon as he spat out the pork rib bones.
"Xiaochu..."
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Although the dishes are light, each one exudes a unique umami flavor, leaving a lasting impression.
After dinner, everyone went for a walk as usual, enjoying the tranquility and harmony of the evening.
Time passed quietly, and when it was time to rest, everyone returned home.
Jiang Songchu lay on the bed holding the calligraphy, her heart filled with contentment and happiness.
She entered the study room again and began her endless learning journey.
At the same time, Lin Jiaru sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze gently falling on Xie Zhenghua, who was still reading the newspaper, and softly expressed her thoughts.
"Old Xie, stop looking for now, there's something I want to discuss with you."
Xie Zhenghua put down the newspaper and gently pinched the space between his eyebrows with his fingers, looking somewhat tired.
He looked at Lin Jiaru and asked gently, "Go ahead and say it."
"Today I saw Xiao Chu buy a 'Miya' necklace. Even after the discount, that necklace still costs five or six thousand."
“This child didn’t have much money, but still bought me a necklace to support me.”
"I feel really bad."
Lin Jiaru's words were filled with emotion.
Xie Zhenghua looked up at Lin Jiaru, got up and sat down next to her, gently putting his arm around her shoulder.
He understood his wife's feelings and also sensed Jiang Songchu's pure emotions.
"Jiaru, I know Xiaochu has had a tough time. She has always responded to our kindness in her own way."
"Yes, I know. Now that we've accepted Xiao Chu, we should treat her as our own daughter."
Lin Jiaru's tone was firm.
"Do you have any idea?"
Xie Zhenghua couldn't help but raise his eyes and ask.
“I want to give her the black card. As my daughter, Lin Jiaru, she shouldn’t be tied down by money.”
Lin Jiaru's words were full of pride.
Xie Zhenghua was taken aback upon hearing this, and frowned slightly, seemingly having some concerns.
"Jiaru, have you considered that Xiaochu might never have handled so much money before? I'm afraid..."
Lin Jiaru gently patted Xie Zhenghua's hand, interrupting him, and replied with a hint of anger.
"We should trust Xiao Chu. She's not an immature little girl."
"You've lived to such an old age and met hundreds or even thousands of people; you've seen it all."
"Can't you see that Xiao Chu is a good girl?"
Seeing that his wife seemed somewhat displeased, Xie Zhenghua quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, give it to Xiao Chu."
"Anyway, with me around, she can have whatever she wants."
"That's right, my daughter, Xie Zhenghua's daughter, deserves the best of everything!"
Despite saying that, Xie Zhenghua thought to himself: Sigh, it seems my status at home has dropped another notch.
However, seeing his wife's satisfied smile, the slight disappointment in his heart instantly vanished.
As the night passed, the sun rose again.
The birds outside the window were chirping and singing, as if welcoming a new day.
As usual, Jiang Songchu sat around the dining table with every member of her family, enjoying a warm breakfast time.
As the food on the plate gradually dwindled, Lin Jiaru took out an exquisite card with an obsidian-like luster from her handbag and gently placed it in front of Jiang Songchu.
"Mom, what is this?"
Jiang Songchu took the card with a puzzled look in her eyes, turning it over and examining it curiously.
Lin Jiaru gently stroked Jiang Songchu's hair, her voice as soft as a spring breeze.
"Xiao Chu, this is a small token of your parents' affection."
"With this card, you can buy whatever you want, no matter what you need."
Jiang Songchu suddenly looked up and met Lin Jiaru's tender eyes, while Xie Zhenghua watched them with a smile, his eyes full of affection.
“Mom, I really don’t need this. I have my own money and I can earn my own money.”
As Jiang Songchu spoke, he tried to stuff the card back into Lin Jiaru's hand, but Lin Jiaru skillfully avoided it.
At this moment, Xie Zhenghua also spoke in a formal tone.
"Xiao Chu, this is something your parents have discussed and agreed upon."
"Since you've already called us Mom and Dad, please accept this gift."
"One should not refuse a gift from an elder."
Xie Linxiao elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, nodding and smiling in agreement.
"Xiao Chu, please accept it."
"This card can not only be used at various consumer venues of the Hongtian Group, but it is also a symbol of the Xie family."
"You can enjoy VIP treatment anywhere under the Hongtian Group as long as you show your ID."
"Including Yuegou Tiandi, which you went to yesterday," Xie Zhenggang added cheerfully from the side.
"You can also use Mom's and Aunt's brand stores freely," Xiao Ling added.
Grandpa Xie and Grandma Feng watched this scene with smiles on their faces, their hearts filled with happiness.
Although there was some regret because their grandson, who lives far away abroad, couldn't come back, the heartwarming scene before them still made them feel incredibly content.
Hearing these introductions, Jiang Songchu felt a warm current well up in her heart and couldn't refuse any longer.
I was also a little surprised: "I knew that 'Miya' and 'Chaoyeji' were my mother and aunt's brands, but I didn't expect that Yuegou Tiandi was also under the Hongtian Group."
Xie Linxiao raised an eyebrow at Jiang Songchu's surprised expression.
In his view, this is something that every resident of Nanlin City, and even many Chinese people, should know.
Xie Linxiao muttered to himself: If Jiang Songchu doesn't know, it means Hongtian isn't strong enough yet, they need to work harder.
He then patiently began to introduce Hongtian Group to Jiang Songchu.
"Xiao Chu, let me introduce Hongtian Group to you."
"We can't have a young lady like you who doesn't even recognize her own business."
Xie Linxiao joked with a smile.
