Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith the money in hand, she immediately went shopping. She bought a silk dress for her mother, something she had admired for a long tbut never wanted to spend the money on. Her father was a fan of fine whiskey and always mentioned wanting a bottle of Glenfiddich. Tanya bought him a bottle.
Then there was her brother. He had mentioned wanting a designer suit. Tanya knew his size and went ahead to purchase the suit for him. And then there was her sister-in-law. Tanya's sister-in-law was very into beauty and often talked about a certain high-end skincare brand.
Four gifts in total, costing her $4,800. That left her with $200.
After shopping, Tanya headed to the grocery store. She planned to cook dinner that evening. Tanya had been cooking since she was young, but since starting high school, she seldom did.
That evening, when the family, including her parents and her brother and sister-in-law, chto a table full of food, they were astonished.
"Mom, did you leave work early today?" her sister-in-law, Jane, asked Tanya's mother, Karen.
Karen shook her head, "No, dear! I just got htoo!" With that, Karen turned to Tanya's father, Gage, "Did you cook?" Gage replied in disbelief, "I just walked in with you, didn't I?" "Could it be Hank?" Jane wondered, slightly confused. "But Hank chwithtoo!" Just then, Tanya walked out of the kitchen with a pot of fish stew, "Mom, Dad, sis, you're all home! Dinner's almost ready. Oh, where's my brother?" Everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe Tanya, who was as lazy as any young person, preferring sitting over standing and lying over sitting, had prepared dinner. Since Jane had joined the family, she hadn't seen Tanya step foot in the kitchen. Usually, if Karen couldn't cook, Tanya would just order takeout.
"Sis, did you make all this?" Jane asked.
Tanya nodded, "Yeah. Sis, you haven't tried my cooking yet, right? Let's see if you like it." Jane was baffled. Gage was filled with pride, "Our little lazy bug has finally grown up!" Karen smiled, "Tanya, dear, you just finished your exams. Remember to rest, okay? I can cook when I chearly from work." "Mom, you work hard enough. I'm grown up now; I'll cook for you every day from now on!" Karen was moved to tears. Her daughter's thoughtfulness touched her deeply.
Seeing her mother like this, Tanya felt a pang of guilt. She regretted not maturing sooner. With her life coming to an end, how could she be a good daughter in the little tshe had left? When Hank parked the car and cin, he too was taken aback.

sure you have some. And Dad, here's your favorite clam dish. And for my brother and Jane, I made your e favorite spicy hot pot. Jane, try it and see if it tastes right!"
Jane felt honored. She hadn't expected Tanya, who always seemed carefree, to remember everyone's favorite dishes. Tanya's parents were also overjoyed. Their child had finally grown up. The meal was incredibly joyful. After dinner, Tanya brought out the gifts she had bought for her family.
"Mom, Dad, these are for you. Brother, sister-in-law, these are yours. Go ahead, open them and see if you like them."
Hank and Jane unwrapped their gifts.
Seeing what was were both shocked" folde, th why did you get us such expensive gifts?" Tanya smiled, "Brother, sister-in-law, don't you like them?" "It's not that we don't like them, they're just too expensive! Tanya, where did you get the money?" Hank asked.
