Chapter Eighty-Three: May People Last

"Uncle, let's talk about playing chess another day, there is an even more important thing to do today!" After Xu Chen entered the house, he put the wooden box in his hand on the table and said mysteriously to Tang Yuan.

"What's the matter?" Tang Yuan looked at the wooden box that Xu Chen brought in suspiciously, the wooden box was very exquisite, but he didn't know what it contained.

looked up at his wife, and saw that she was also shaking her head and smiling bitterly, looking confused.

Xu Chen also stopped selling guanzi, lifted the lid of the wooden box, and suddenly something he had never seen before appeared in front of Tang Yuan and his wife.

I saw that it was a round thing, which looked a little like a hu cake, several inches thick, but there was a fragrance that I had never smelled before. The surface was covered with a layer of white, soft-looking stuff, covered with fruit, and the words "Happy Birthday" written in red.

"Hehe, don't uncles and aunts keep saying that today is your daughter's seventeenth birthday, but unfortunately people are not around, so I thought about making such a thing for you, let's celebrate her birthday here, and it can be regarded as making up for some of your regrets. Xu Chen said with a smirk.

"It's called a cake, and my grandfather used to make it for me every year on my birthday!" I had no choice but to let that dear grandfather come out again, and no matter how people understood how a wandering old beggar made such a delicious meal.

"Do we always talk about it, it seems that we just mentioned it casually!" This is what Tang Yuan and his wife thought at this time, the two looked at each other, Tang understood what her husband meant, and opened his mouth to Xu Chen, who was busy arranging the plates, and asked, "Xiao Chen, have you ever seen our Xiao Jue?"

After Xu Chen heard this, his hands trembled slightly obviously, fortunately, our eldest prince Xu was profound, and he reacted in an instant, showing a look of doubt and memory in a timely manner, looked up at Tang Yuan and his wife and said, "There shouldn't be!"

Tang Yuan looked at Xu Chen's sincere and puzzled face, he believed it!

Xu Chen hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the Tang family, he always felt that there was a feeling of stealing other people's things inside.

"Uncle and aunt, let's light the candles!" Xu Chen took out a slender red candle, there is no talk of edible candles in these years, under each candle, Xu Chen deliberately installed a small disc to block the candle tears.

After inserting the candles, Xu Chen took a look at the room, hurriedly set off to close the curtains everywhere, and ran to close the door, and suddenly the light in the room dimmed.

Tang Yuan and his wife looked at Xu Chen, who was jumping up and down, how could they have half of the calm momentum when they directed the teenagers to rehearse the formation on the school field.

"It's a pity! If it's at night, the effect will be better, but the teacher has a life, and he must go back before tonight to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, and he can only make it up like this!" Xu Chen said with some disappointment.

"Xiao Chen, it's embarrassing for the teacher! How can you not cherish the teacher you came here so hard?" Tang Yuan put on a posture of an elder teaching a lesson.

Xu Chen had no choice but to smile wryly, he couldn't say that we used a bitter trick when we apprenticed to the teacher!

Xu Chen took out the fire fold and lit the candles one by one, a full seventeen, symbolizing that the girl was seventeen years old. Although Tang Xuexue is not here, she must be able to feel this longing from distant relatives.

Of course, only Tang Yuan and his wife in this house can be regarded as the girl's real relatives, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

"Uncle and aunt, make a wish! Although Xiao Jue is not here, my uncle can also help make one. Now that he knew the girl's name from Tang's mouth, Xu Chen naturally called it out familiarly.

"Okay, then I hope that our family of three can be reunited as soon as possible, and from now on live together peacefully and never be separated!" Tang Yuan didn't know the rules, and said out loud the biggest wish in his heart at the moment, as if he wanted the affectionate God to hear.

"Yes, I will definitely do it! I will definitely use my life to protect your family!" God heard it, I don't know, but Xu Chen solemnly made this oath in his heart.

Some people may think that Xu Chen's feelings came too suddenly, too incredible! But Xu Chen didn't think so, the glimpse kept recalling in his heart, but that deep feeling has been echoing in his heart, even if it is thousands of miles away, even if it has not been said a word, this feeling has not weakened, but with the deepening of the understanding of the girl, it is getting stronger and stronger, you can say that it is a desire that cannot be sought, but it cannot be denied that there is really a feeling called love at first sight.

So Xu Chen is willing to shoulder this burden, and he never wants to let it go!

Blowing out the candles, Xu Chen picked up a knife and began to cut the cake, there were only three people in the room. No! It should be four! And one is lying in the back room! According to the words of our Dr. Geng, "It will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and this kind of fatal injury that hurts the internal organs can be so fast, so lie down and rest!"

Poor Brother Wei Chao, who has been in a state of confusion these days, obviously feels that his eyes are about to open, and after a stream of warm soup in his mouth, he falls asleep again. There is no way, the news of Chang'an has not yet come, and this Wei Chao brother, who sacrificed his life to save people, had to let him sleep for a few more days.

After handing the two cut pieces to Tang Yuan and his wife, Xu Chen suddenly heard a sound of swallowing saliva coming from the door.

Before Xu Chen could react, the door of the room was squeezed open by a group of teenagers......

Naturally, Shi Lei was the leader, and Tie Niu Zhou Kang and others were also there! Even Zheng Tai, who was usually steady and sophisticated, was standing at the door, staring at the things on the table with his eyes, and swallowing a mouthful of saliva from time to time.

"Haha, they're all here! Then don't stand stupidly, let's all come in quickly!" Tang Yuan saw the appearance of this group of teenagers, and he didn't understand the thoughts of the teenagers, so he laughed twice and said.

The teenagers at the door also knew that they were in trouble, and they lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look directly at the big brother's straight eyes, and when they heard Tang Yuan's words, they were still motionless.

"Why are you standing! Don't die yet! I'm going to embarrass Lao Tzu!" Xu Chen said fiercely, since Tang Yuan, the master, had spoken, Xu Chen couldn't refuse.

When the young men heard this, they rushed into the house as if they had been pardoned, and there was no trace of the demeanor of an iron army in the mess, but the stones mixed in the crowd clearly felt a cold look at them.

After the teenagers entered the house, they stood around the round table, staring at the things on the table one by one, but they were thinking in their hearts, "So this is something that can only be eaten on birthdays! What the stone said is really right, this thing smells so loud, and it is so beautiful, it must be delicious in the mouth! No wonder the stone swallows saliva once when he says a word, and always emphasizes that he can only eat it once a year, this thing is really worth it!"

In addition to the people sent out to patrol the station, there are also a group of people who returned to Yuzhang City in advance, and the remaining dozen or so people are here, such a small cake naturally cannot be eaten by more than a dozen people, and in the end, Xu Chen divided the remaining cake into more than a dozen parts, except for the one in the hands of Tang Yuan and his wife, and each teenager also got a cake the size of a baby's fist, which can be regarded as a taste for the big guy.

"Let's eat!" Xu Chen said to the teenagers, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

But the teenagers still didn't move, Xu Chen was a little curious now, what's wrong with this group of guys, aren't they here just to eat cake?

"What's wrong?" Xu Chen asked.

The teenagers lowered their heads and pushed each other, and finally Tie Niu stood up and said, "Big brother, I heard that the stone said that this thing can only be eaten once a year, if I eat it today, then ...... My birthday hasn't come yet!"

After speaking, Tie Niu also lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"I ......" Xu Chen was speechless for a while, looking at this group of guys, he suddenly reacted, no matter how mature and stable the teenagers were, but in the final analysis, they were still just a group of children who had not grown up.

Xu Chen shook his head and said with some amusement: "Don't listen to that foodie's nonsense, eat it! When do you want to eat it in the future, Big Brother will make it for you!"

After hearing the eldest brother's words, the teenagers raised their heads and glanced at each other, and immediately reached out to pick up the porcelain plate in front of them and ate it.

It's just that Xu Chen deliberately forgot about the stone as the initiator, this guy has a great ability! Obviously, he wanted to eat it himself, but he was afraid that a person would come to the target too big, and he would be scolded when he came, so he ran back and encouraged everyone to come together. Yes, I have also learned to fight as a team! For such a good classmate, Brother Xu naturally has to take good care of it!

So, the stone showed that resentful look again......

"Haha, stone, come, uncle's for you!" Tang Yuan really couldn't stand Shi Lei's expression, but a baby face showed a deep resentful woman-like look, it was really funny!

Tang Yuan and his wife are very fond of this youngest stone! Xu Chen can get closer to Tang Yuan and his wife so quickly, and the stone can be said to be a great contribution!

When the stone heard this, he hurriedly picked up the plate and fork, and ran over. Knowing how to share, I only took half of it, and returned the remaining half to Tang Yuan. It's just such a small piece, where is there enough for him to eat, and after eating, he stares at the teenagers who haven't finished eating with the same eyes, the youngest of the stones in this group of teenagers, everyone usually cares about him very much, and in the end, basically everyone gave a small bite to Shi Lei.

In the end, Xu Chen couldn't stand it anymore, and gave him the untouched cake in his hand.

"Big brother, you haven't eaten it yet!" Shi Lei seemed to have learned to be humble this time, biting his fork and muttering, in fact, he said, "Big brother, you can eat that bite first, and then give me the rest, so it's appropriate!"

Xu Chen couldn't see his thoughts, and said directly: "Eat! I'm tired of eating this thing!"

"Big brother's life is so good! you can get tired of eating such delicious things......" After speaking, he quickly took the plate in Xu Chen's hand with both hands, and did not see the slightest hesitation, just like that, more than half of the birthday cake prepared by Xu Chen for the distant girl went into the stomach of the stone.

The cake was quickly eaten, ignoring the teenagers who were still unsatisfied, Xu Chen faced Tang Yuan and his wife, ready to throw the second big killing weapon he had prepared today.

"Uncle and aunt, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I happened to have a feeling here, and I came up with a poem, how about reading it out to help my uncle and aunt?" Xu Chen said with a smug face.

"Oh, Xiaochen, do you still write poems and lyrics?" Tang Yuan was surprised, knowing that he was shocked when he learned that this group of more than thirty teenagers were all literate, and they all knew thousands of words on average. I can't help but be shocked, in this era, the literate people are probably less than 20%, and they can know thousands of words, which is already a very literate person!

However, being able to recognize words is not the same as being able to write poems.

"Of course! The poems written by the eldest brother are praised even by the teacher!" "The stone who eats people with a soft mouth and eats so many cakes naturally has to stand up for the eldest brother at this time."

"Oh?" Even Tang was surprised, Tang was familiar with poetry and books when he was young, and he was also a well-known talented woman in Fuliang County, a craftsman who played with mud could marry this famous talented girl home, for which Tang Yuan was proud for many years.

Tang still has a certain degree of attainment in poetry and writing, Xu Chen's teacher She also heard the teenagers talk about it, it is a doctor of literature in a county, a virtuous official, and there is nothing to say about it. The poems that can be appreciated by him must be masterpieces, but I really didn't see that this Xu Chen still has such a good talent.

Ignoring the surprised Tang Yuan and his wife, Xu Chen pretended to start brewing love, shaking his head and groaning......

It's not that Xu Chen deliberately did this, but it's really like this nowadays, in addition to having a good literary style, a good poem must also pay attention to the momentum of reading, as well as the feelings it contains.
