After getting out of the car, I didn't stay for a minute and went straight home.

When I came to the door, I saw that the security door was closed.

By this time it was already a little dark, and when I looked in through the window, I didn't see any lights.

I leaned on the edge of the door and listened with my ears sideways, and there seemed to be no movement inside.

At this time, it is already dinner time, where are they going back if they are not at home?

Thinking in my heart, I took out the key and prepared to open the door, with a somewhat casual look, the moment I opened the door, I was shocked by the scene inside.

I saw the two people, one big and one small, now in front of me, holding a cake in their hands, with candles on it.

"Happy birthday to you~

Happy birthday to you~

Happy birthday to you~

Happy birthday to you~"

In the dim candlelight, the happy faces of Poplar and Xiaoxue were reflected, and they sang the birthday song to me earnestly.

I didn't expect the poplar tree to remember my birthday, at this moment, I was moved, surprised, and a little grateful.

"Thank you!" I didn't know what to say, but I could only express my gratitude.

"Mommy, hurry up and make a wish and blow out the candles, Uncle Poplar said, he will help you achieve your wish as much as possible. Xiaoxue looked at me excitedly, her excited little body, eager to jump on me.

Before I could recover from the surprise and emotion, I heard Xiaoxue tell me that Poplar was going to help me fulfill my wish, and I looked at Poplar blankly, hoping that he would give me an answer.

"Yes, you have done me a great favor this time, and I will do my best to help you fulfill your wishes. Seeing that I was looking at him suspiciously, Poplar replied affirmatively.

"Well, thank you, in fact, you don't have to do it, you know the reason why I am willing to help you, but because I still love you. "I looked at the poplar tree, and my eyes were full of affection, and I had only given him that affection.

I regretted it after saying this, after all, Xiaoxue is still there, and I really shouldn't say these inappropriate things in front of Xiaoxue.

"Uh...... I'm sorry. "Poplar didn't expect me to say it so directly, so he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Oh, Mommy, it's your birthday today, let's eat cake first!" Although Xiaoxue didn't know what happened to me and Yang Shu, she saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong at the moment, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Mm-hmm, let's blow out the candles first!" Poplar didn't know how to continue the topic, so he interrupted with Xiaoxue.

"Uh-huh~" The atmosphere is indeed a little embarrassing, even if I am thick-skinned, it is not good to continue to entangle.

Poplar brought the cake to the table, Xiaoxue closed the security door behind me, and then the three of us sat down at the table together.

When I came in, it was dimly lit and I didn't notice what was happening at the table.

At that time, I had just seen that a very large dinner had been prepared on the table, with three steaks, two large and one small, with a large plate of fruit salad and a bottle of red wine in the middle, two red wine glasses on both sides of the table where I and the poplar tree were placed, and two white candles that had not yet been lit, and orange juice on the place where Xiaoxue was.

I don't remember how many years I haven't had a birthday, the last time it seemed to be when I was in college, with my roommates, Yang Shu, Lin Momo, and Shen Xuanhan were all there.

Looking at the carefully prepared candlelit dinner in front of me, I couldn't express the emotions in my heart.

"Mommy, you can make a wish now~" Xiaoxue saw that I had been stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but remind me.

"Okay! My birthday wish this year is that Poplar can stay here for a few more days. I closed my eyes, folded my hands, and whispered my wishes.

After making my birthday wishes, I blew out the candles on the cake in one go.

At this time, the room fell into darkness, and Poplar unhurriedly lit the two candles on the table, and the room was bright again.

"That's not too much. I looked at the poplar tree, hoping that he would nod his head in agreement.

"Okay, I promise you! I'll stay here for three more days to keep you and Xiaoxue together. Poplar looked me in the eye and answered me firmly.

"Wow, Mommy is awesome, how do you know that Xiaoxue likes Uncle Poplar so much, she likes it so much that she really likes to keep him for a few more days. Xiaoxue looked excited, thinking that my wish was for her. But forget it, for her and for herself.

The next thing is to cut the cake and eat the cake and then eat, the cake is not big, each of the three of us has a small piece, because there is a big meal to eat later, and we can't eat too much. After the cake, it's time for the steak.

The ingredients of this steak should be bought in a special beef market, and only high-quality beef can make a delicious steak.

The steak on the plate looks appetizing, and although I haven't tasted it yet, the steak is original, the meat is rich, and it looks juicy.

I had only eaten Chinese home-cooked food made by poplars before, but I didn't expect him to cook Western food so deliciously.

It is said that food can make people forget their sorrows for a while, and at this moment I finally realized the meaning of this sentence.

The steak was delicious, all three of us were well fed and happy, and at the end there was a fruit salad, our dessert.

Eating some fruit after a meal helps jokes, the little guy Xiaoxue is gone, and he doesn't care about talking to us, he eats one after another, and the cute appearance makes me and Yang Shu look at it, thinking that I really admire that little guy, so eaten, I really don't know if her belly of her little belly will be broken. Ha ha.

Vowed to eat everything, in the end, the three of us really couldn't stand up straight, no one wanted to get up to wash the bowl, Yang Shu and I unanimously decided, the bowl will be left for tomorrow to brush, today none of us want to move.

After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock, and after nearly two hours of eating, I really listened to the food.

We sat down at the table and rested for a while, and I decided that I still wanted to go out for a walk, and I couldn't sit so decadently all the time, I would grow fat.

Xiaoxue ate happily and quickly regained her energy after resting for a while.

In the park, the little guy held my hand on one side and the poplar tree in the other, and walked among us super proudly, and all the acquaintances I met would take the initiative to greet politely from afar, for fear that others would not see us.

I looked at Xiaoxue's appearance of pulling the two of us around to show off her cuteness, and I couldn't help but feel distressed, I really wronged Xiaoxue all these years, let her follow me to live a life of exile and hiding in Tibet, and even almost lost her life a few years ago.

After coming to the town, I almost cut off contact with the outside world, and I took Xiaoxue alone, although she did not freeze and starve, but she was never accompanied by her father, which brought a lot of blows and shadows to her childhood.

I was deep in thought, thinking about my debt to Xiaoxue, and before we knew it, we had come full circle and returned to the downstairs of our community.

At this time, it was already half past nine, and it was Xiaoxue's rest time, so the three of us went home.

Back at home, looking at the masterpieces of our two on the dining table, Yang Shu and I are still reluctant to clean up, forget it, sleep, wash the dishes, wait for tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Poplar got up and made us a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

Yang Shu is actually a very humble person, but he is very confident in his cooking skills, so he usually cooks by himself at home, and he usually doesn't go out to buy it and eat it.

When we were in college, we had been together for quite a long time.

He hated that the food cooked by his aunt in the cafeteria was not to his liking, so he rented a single room outside the school and lived there himself.

Every day, I ate my own food, even developed some new dishes, and occasionally took me there to improve my food, and every time I couldn't walk, I would ask him to carry me back to the dormitory.

At that time, we were so innocent that we never thought of staying with him.

Now that I think about it, I think it's good to be young, when we were young, we were all simple-minded and willing to give, not like now, we feel that love is to possess, and if we can't get it, we will try our best and do whatever it takes.

Today's breakfast is toast + grilled sausage + poached egg, well, good, delicious and nutritious.

The charm of food is infinite, even Xiaoxue, who usually loves to lie in bed, gets up early when she smells this fragrance, she obediently dresses herself, brushes her teeth and washes her face, and then sits at the table obediently and starts to eat.

Another delicious and blissful breakfast.

In the next three days, the breakfast, lunch and dinner were all managed by the poplar, and on the last day, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, the poplar is about to leave here and return to the magic capital of Shanghai, so the food of our mother and son will not be a problem again?

I was interrupted in the middle, and I went out for two days, Xiaoxue ate poplar food for six consecutive days, and I looked at her round face, which was already fleshy, and now it was really more "strong".

On the evening of the third day, the last night that Poplar had stayed here, the dinner was as hearty as usual, and there was no slackening in any way because of the coming separation.

Looking at the delicious meal on the table, Xiaoxue and I were a little not interested, and the little guy also knew that Poplar would leave early tomorrow morning, and it was the last meal that the three of us ate together, so the mood was a little low, and the whole table was filled with a sense of sadness.

"Eat, eat, why don't you know chopsticks?" Yang Shu came out of the kitchen with the last seaweed pork rib soup, and saw that the two of us looked not very happy.

"Uncle Yangshu, are you leaving tomorrow, can you not leave and stay with me and Mommy?" Xiaoxue said, her voice a little choked, and her big round eyes were full of tears.

"Xiaoxue is good, Xiaoxue doesn't cry, I promised you before, I will definitely come to see you often in the future, have you forgotten, I will come to see you as soon as I have time, so Xiaoxue, don't cry, I feel distressed when I cry. Yang Shu didn't expect Xiaoxue to be so emotional, and knew that he was leaving, so he shed tears before he spoke.

"Hmm~Really?, you must come to see us often in the future~" Xiaoxue heard Yang Shu say this, and quickly wiped the tears in her eyes, and her melancholy mood was really much clearer.

"Uh-huh, when did I lie to you, right?Eat, good~" Yang Shu calmed Xiaoxue's emotions, and felt relieved in his heart.

Didn't he see that I was also in a low mood?

Ah~ Don't bother me, Miss Ben is not in a very good mood right now.

I saw that he really had no intention of comforting me, and I was not very comfortable.

At the table of the last meal, the atmosphere was a little weird, Xiaoxue didn't talk much, and the three of them each lowered their heads to eat the food in the bowl, without the lively and warm picture of the past.

After dinner, I went to wash the dishes, which has been the case for the past few days, I have a clear division of labor with Yang Shu, and I brush the dishes when he cooks.

This time, he asked to wash the dishes with me, and I think he probably sensed that I wasn't in a good mood, so he wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with me.
