Chapter Twenty-Seven: Just a Bracelet
The servants of Jingtai Bay have all gone home for the New Year, and on this night, there are only two people in the huge villa, Ding Dong and Ding Xiaowei.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, they set off fireworks in the courtyard, and the night sky was full of stars, and from this position they could see the fireworks salute set off in the center of the city in the distance.
Ding Dong sat on the steps of the door, pinching a small firework thoughtfully.
What will Feng Chengyu be doing at this time? Probably a vigil with his family. Or has he already slept? With such a strong sense of time, it is very likely that he will not make an exception to stay up late just because today is Chinese New Year's Eve.
Ding Xiaowei ran around the yard with a long firework in his hand. The brilliant fireworks bloomed like flowers, and his cheerful laughter lingered in Ding Dong's ears, making her mood can't help but relax.
If only it could be like this forever.
Only the two of them are together, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, there is no fear, there is no entanglement of interests, and there is no Feng Chengyu...... She knew that this was just a short moment, and when it was dawn, she would be the dignified and elegant Su Kerui again.
She put down the fireworks in her hand and called softly: "Xiaowei, stop playing, it's time to sleep." ”
Ding Xiaowei reluctantly cleaned up the fireworks wreckage in the yard, and asked Ding Dong as he walked into the house: "Sister, do you guess what New Year's wish I just made?"
"What?"
"I hope I can grow up soon, and it is best that I can earn money to support my family tomorrow. ”
"Fool. ”
The next day, Ding Dong rarely slept and didn't get up until more than ten o'clock in the morning.
The maids will probably not be able to come to work one after another until the third day of the Lunar New Year, so the food in these days can only be solved by the sisters and brothers.
Who knew that when Ding Dong washed up and went downstairs, he heard a clanging sound from the kitchen.
Her first reaction was: Which servant came back early?
When she walked in, she found that the person who was sweating profusely in the kitchen was actually Ding Xiaowei.
She watched dumbfounded as Ding Xiaowei waved the whisk and stirred in the egg beating bowl, and the trash can was full of egg shells.
"Xiaowei, what are you doing?" Ding Dong couldn't react to the current situation for a while.
Ding Xiaowei turned around and saw his sister standing at the door of the kitchen, a hint of blush appeared on her immature face, and she even stumbled a little when she spoke: "Sister...... Why did you wake up?"
"It's ten o'clock now. Ding Dong opened the refrigerator door and poured himself a glass of milk, turned around and asked him, "Are you cooking?"
What do you do with so many eggs? The egg cartons in the fridge are empty.
Ding Xiaowei didn't answer immediately, and only after a while did he say, "I...... I'd like to make you a cake...... It's not your birthday. ”
Ding Dong's movements froze, and he looked back at him.
To make cakes, Ding Xiaowei is obviously a novice, and he gets egg wash and white sugar everywhere. His phone was still on the streaming stage, and the search on the screen showed how to make a cake.
Ding Dong suddenly felt as if his throat was choked by something.
Over the years, she had forgotten that it was her birthday. When I was in the orphanage, every child's birthday was the day when they were sent to the orphanage, and whenever a child had a birthday, the director would buy a small cake for the birthday boy to eat, the cake was really small, but it was the best thing Ding Dong had eaten in the orphanage.
Twenty-one years ago, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was snowing heavily in City A. The police sent Ding Dong, who was still in her infancy, to the orphanage, when it was late winter, but because it was still snowing, the director named her "Dong".
So to be exact, Ding Dong didn't know what day he was born.
In this world, I'm afraid only Ding Xiaowei will remember his birthday.
"Sister help you. ”
Ding Dong silently closed the refrigerator door and began to make cakes with Ding Xiaowei.
Both of them are making cakes for the first time, but Ding Dong has a little cooking skills, so although he is a little rusty, it is also smooth. Soon the aroma of bread was in the oven, and the cream was almost done.
By the time the cake was ready, it was almost noon. Ding Dong cautiously walked out of the kitchen with the bare, piping, crooked cake with her name written crookedly on the top.
Before the two siblings could start celebrating, a female voice suddenly came from the gate of the villa: "You are really here." ”
Ding Dong had just put the cake on the table, and when he turned around, he saw a noble lady with exquisite makeup and outstanding temperament standing at the door of the villa, looking at her with a hostile look in her eyes. Although small fine lines have appeared at the corners of her eyes, it is still not difficult to see that the lady has taken good care of her skin.
Ding Dong was stunned for a moment, and soon overlapped the image of the noble lady in front of him with the face in his memory.
Even if she hasn't seen her for three years, she can recognize it at a glance, this is Feng Chengyu's mother, Li Man.
In an instant, Ding Dong's face changed, and he subconsciously protected Ding Xiaowei behind him, and shouted nervously: "Mrs. Feng." ”
Li Man raised his head, glanced at the sister and brother with contempt, and walked towards the center of the living room with indifferent steps: "It seems that it is my son's arrangement." I said why he kept running here during this time, it turned out that this wild girl for you has a place to live here. ”
"Who do you say is the wild girl!" Before Ding Dong could speak, Ding Xiaowei retorted angrily. Although he doesn't know the person in front of him, he still subconsciously defends his sister.
Li Man had already paced to the sofa in the center of the living room, heard someone shouting, frowned and glanced at Ding Xiaowei, his eyes full of displeasure.
Ding Dong clenched his fists, turned his head sideways and whispered to Ding Xiaowei: "You go back to the room first." ”
"But......" Ding Xiaowei wanted to say something, but she pursed her lips and slowly shook her head to herself, so she was silent, and went upstairs and back to her room step by step.
Li Man gave face, until the sound of Ding Xiaowei closing the door sounded, and then he sat down on the sofa slowly with his back to Ding Dong, and didn't look at her, but said to himself: "That was your brother just now?
Ding Dong gritted his teeth and stared at the back of Li Man's head tightly, with infinite forbearance in his voice: "Is there something wrong with you coming here today?"
"Are you pretending to be confused for me, Ding Dong?" Li Man said lightly, his tone was neither annoyed nor angry: "Why did I come here, shouldn't you know very well?"
"If you're here to ask for a bracelet," Ding Dong paused for a second before continuing, "I can't take it out." ”
Li Man sneered, and his tone was full of contempt: "No need, it's just a jade bracelet, it may be very valuable to you, but it's nothing to me, whether you stole it or sold it, I won't pursue it." ”
