Chapter 21 Birthday
The sky was gloomy early the next morning, and it was sultry all night, but the rain still refused to fall.
Woke up early, Suning felt unexpectedly peaceful, as if the knife hanging above his head was finally about to fall and he just had to wait for the result.
When she finished washing herself, someone on the bed finally woke up.
"Good morning, Sister Ningning, happy birthday~"
"Thank you, but it's getting late, little lazy pig, get up."
Even Fu Ying herself I find it incredible that I could have a dreamless night without being affected by what happened last night.
It must be because Sister Ningning is by her side, which makes her feel at ease.
HehehehehehehehehesillyFu Ying looked at her prosperous beauty with a face full of infatuation: Sure enough, there is nothing that cannot be cured by beauty!
“Dong dong dong~”
"Ning Ning Yingying, it's getting late, are you all ready?"
"Ang, Uncle Xu is about to come, we will come~"
Fu Yingma Liu stuck out his tongue I climbed out of bed and put on my clothes. I quickly braided two braids with my fingers.
He took out the small box he had prepared earlier from the schoolbag and handed it to her, "Sister Ningning, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you. I hope my sister will become more and more beautiful and everything will go well for us. Let’s meet up in Shonan soon!”
Contained in the small box are two pearl hairpins of different styles.
Closing the box, Suning treasured it and put it in the drawer under the dressing table. She walked out of the bedroom with her arms in her arms. The moment the door closed, the dressing table was received into the space together with it.
Xu Zixin and Qian Huiru, who were sitting on the sofa waiting, seemed to be in a good mood today.
Especially Qian Huiru, who was dressed in Lenin women's clothing. The smile on her face and eyes could not be concealed. When she looked at her, she looked very sincere for the first time.
“Ning Ning looks really good today!”
“Thank you.”
It seemed like he had been waiting for a long time, until then Xu Zixin didn't say anything, but stood up, turned around and hurried to the kitchen.
Within a moment, a bowl of brown sugar boiled eggs was served, just like every birthday in previous years, "Hurry, Ning Ning eat it while it's hot, don't wait until it gets cold and it tastes fishy."
"Wow~ Uncle Xu is so kind. Sister Ningning, you eat first and I'll wash up!"
Fu Ying winked at her and skipped to the toilet.
Taking a deep breath and pinching the palms of her hands, Suning smiled and came to sit down at the dining table.
In the blue patterned ceramic bowl, the black and red sugar water is still steaming, and there are two hard-boiled eggs in it as always.
This is a custom in my grandpa’s hometown. On everyone’s birthday, eating sweet boiled eggs cooked by their closest relatives will bring happiness and good luck for the whole year.
In the past, whenever it was my birthday, my grandpa would cook a bowl early... When he went, it was my mother.
Until his mother left, Xu Zixin kept this incident in his heart. He has been cooking it for so many years and has never forgotten it.
During this period, she will also wonder, even if it is fake, is he... at all sincere?
"Ning Ning, why are you still crying?"
Subconsciously touching his cheek, Suning suddenly realized that tears were streaming down his face unknowingly.
"It's okay, thank you, Dad."
She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and lowered her head to eat the boiled egg in sugar. She did not see the complexity in Xu Zixin's eyes.
It wasn't until Qian Huiru stepped forward silently that he came back to his senses and murmured as if lost, "Ning Ning has grown so old in the blink of an eye."
"No, she can marry. I'm here!"
"Nonsense, how could my Xu Zixin's daughter get married so early!"
"Look at what I just said, old Xu, you are still in a hurry, Ning Ning’s grades are so good and she still has to go to college. Of course she won’t get married so early.”
While the two were singing and singing, Suning had already finished the eggs in the bowl and drank all the sugar water.
After struggling for a long time, Xu Shanshan finally selected clothes that she was satisfied with, and Fu Ying, who had finished washing, came to the living room one after another.
The two have never dealt with each other since they met, and their relationship is so bad that they don't even bother to pretend in front of the adults on both sides. 'Peacock, what's the use of dressing up? You're not going to be reduced to scum in front of my sister Ningning! ’
‘Man, sooner or later I will help you cut that hair! ’
The eyes of the two people collided in the air, as if they could hear the crackling of electric sparks.
“Shanshan!”
Facing her warning eyes and remembering the conversation between mother and daughter last night, Xu Shanshan suppressed her anger and said with a smile on her lips, "Today is Sister Ning's birthday, so I won't argue with you little brat!"
"Haha, you sound like you can do anything to me, I'm afraid of you!"
< br>Fu Ying played with her braids and retorted rudely, but she thought that today was indeed a special situation.
As he walked past her, he threatened in a low voice, "If you dare to do anything wrong today, Xu Shanshan, I will let you relive the nightmare four years ago."
< br>"You!"
"Xu Shanshan, remember, it's not easy to grow your hair so long~"
Xu Shanshan was so angry that she was about to explode. Qian Huiru caught her when she found something wrong, "Yingying still loves to joke so much. , Haha, okay, you two little sisters, please stop making trouble."
"I'm sorry, Uncle Xu, she is so annoying, I can't help it!"
“You’re such a bad tempered person!”
Xu Zixin couldn’t do anything about it. After all, she was her friend’s most beloved daughter. She could only shake her head helplessly, “Let your dad have the headache. "
"Yingying is so good."
"Yes, hey, Sister Ningning is the most discerning!"
"Well, the birthday girl is the biggest today. "Everything you said is right."
Xu Zixin smiled fondly and patted her back gently.
Seeing that she no longer dodge subconsciously, and remembering that her true feelings when she was moved just now were not disguised, her thick eyebrows were raised slightly, "Let's go, it's time to set off. It's not good to keep the guests waiting. .”
……
Kyoto Hotel.
Unlike state-owned hotels, most of the hotels here receive foreign guests and leading officials on business trips from various places.
There are private rooms on the second floor of the lobby on the first floor, and a super large banquet hall on the third floor.
Being able to reserve a private room, Xu Zixin’s own position is sufficient, and with the help of an old man, there will naturally be no problem.
In addition to the Xu Fu family, there were also two old friends of Su Ting, an old couple with white hair and kind faces, and Mr. Quan, the head teacher who had taught Suning for two years.
A big table was full of people and it was very lively.
"Does Ning Ning still remember us?"
"Of course, Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Xin."
Suning stood up with a sweet smile and said obediently After saying hello, he stepped forward to pour tea for the two old people who took the trouble to come here.
"Hahaha, it is indeed little Su Ting. He is so smart. I have only seen him twice and he still remembers it after so many years!"
The first time I saw the little guy was just one month old, and the second time was An old friend died of illness...
Zhao Qian thought of his old friend's instructions before he died and silently put down the tea cup in his hand.
The two of them have spent most of their lives, and you can understand what he is thinking with just one look.
Xin Yulan patted the back of his hand, "Ningning is still here."
"Look at me, I'm so confused, haha!"
Patted On his forehead, Zhao Qian raised his smile again, "Ning Ning, sit down quickly. If we have something to do, we'll talk about it later."
