It was dark in a blink of an eye, it was time to make dinner, Xiao Yuan still didn't see any trace of Tang Sa, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.

And Xiao Changtian didn't give Xiao Yuan any preferential treatment just because he was going to celebrate his eighteenth birthday, he still implemented the practice for many years and chose to ignore his birthday.

Yang Jingchen called home at noon and asked about Xiao Yuan's birthday, Xiao Changtian only said that he would be an adult soon, and what birthday was there, and then hung up the phone.

Xiao Yuan was also present at the time, and when he heard his father say this, he couldn't help but pout, and said in his heart that I have become an adult, and I don't have to celebrate my birthday, but when I was a child, I didn't have a birthday, of course, he just slandered him, and he never dared to say anything dissatisfied.

When it was about to get dark, a postman delivered a parcel to his home and left.

The postmark shows that the parcel was sent from Jinghua City and addressed to Xiao Yuan.

After the postman left, Xiao Yuan opened the parcel and took out a fuchsia sweater from it, as well as a pink note.

"Xiao Yuan, I wish you a happy birthday, knitted a sweater, I hope to be with you. -- Yingying. ”

It turned out to be sent by Xia Jiuying, Xiao Yuan took this sweater, and he was a little excited, he couldn't remember when he mentioned his birthday to Xia Jiuying, but Xia Jiuying sent him a gift, and more importantly, this gift was woven by her own hands.

"Take it to the house, don't get excited." Xiao Changtian saw that Xiao Yuan's face was a little red with excitement, so he said with a faint smile.

"Huh." Xiao Yuan laughed and went upstairs with the sweater.

Back in the room, he put the sweater on his body and tried it on, it was not too big or too small, standing in front of the mirror in the room, it was stinky for a while, he took off the sweater again, folded it neatly, and put it in the wardrobe, this was the first gift Xia Jiuying gave him, and it was so special, such a heart-warming gift, which made his heart full of joy at the moment, and at the same time he was even more reluctant to wear it.

After putting on his own clothes, Xiao Yuan went downstairs and was about to cook, but he saw a man standing in the shop with a black bag talking to his father, so he walked over.

"You're Xiao Yuan?" The man saw Xiao Yuan coming over and asked.

"Yes, I'm Xiao Yuan, do you have anything to do with me?" Xiao Yuan asked suspiciously.

"This is Mr. Tang's birthday present for you." The man handed the black bag to Xiao Yuan and said.

"Mr. Tang, that Mr. Tang?" Xiao Yuan frowned and asked.

"Tang Sa." The man said.

"Alright then, thanks." Xiao Yuan took the black bag and put it on the table in the shop, and then asked, "Why did Sister Sa let you come, why didn't she come?" ”

"Tang always has something very important that he can't get out of, so he entrusted me to come over, she also said that after a while, she will call you to explain, in addition, she asked me to pay New Year's greetings to you and your father in advance on her behalf." The man said.

"Okay, I see, thank you again." Xiao Yuan listened to the man's words and knew that Tang Sa didn't come on purpose, and the disappointment in her heart disappeared, so he thanked the man again.

The man saw that Xiao Yuan accepted Tang Sa's things, so he turned around and left.

"Take it back to your room and see it, I'll make dinner." After the man left, Xiao Changtian saw that Xiao Yuan was about to open the black bag, so he waved his hand and said.

Xiao Yuan was not polite to his father, went upstairs with his bag, returned to the room, opened the black bag, and there was a laptop lying inside, which was still IBM's ThinkPad 600.

"Brother, sister wishes you a happy birthday, and at the same time congratulates you on starting today, officially stepping into the ranks of adults, I'm really sorry, it turns out that my sister promised to go over to celebrate your birthday in person, but because there are important things that can't be separated, you can't call, you are very disappointed, my sister apologizes to you, this notebook was bought by my sister herself, although you can rest assured that you use it well, the battery inside will definitely not be a problem. - Tang Sa"

Xiao Yuan put the paper on the table, reached out and stroked the black laptop, the touch was cold, but his heart was warm.

"Thank you for remembering my birthday." Xiao Yuan said.

After waiting upstairs for a long time, Xiao Yuan heard his father downstairs call him to eat, and after coming down from upstairs, he saw that his father fried a few dishes, and took a bottle of wine and put it on the table, so he asked, "Dad, what are you doing here, making so many dishes?" ”

"It's your birthday, someone gives a sweater, someone sends a notebook, and Dad cooks you a meal, what, can't you?" Xiao Changtian said with a smile.

"Yes, of course." Xiao Yuan felt flattered, and hurriedly nodded and said.

"Then stop talking nonsense, sit down and eat." Xiao Changtian said.

Xiao Yuan pulled a stool and sat down, picked up the wine bottle on the table, opened it, poured a glass of wine for his father, then poured himself another glass, picked it up, and said: "Dad, I respect you, you have pulled me to grow up all these years, and I have been a father and a mother all these years, it is really hard." ”

Xiao Changtian picked up the wine glass, touched it with Xiao Yuan, drank it all, and after putting down the wine glass, he sighed: "After today, my son will be eighteen years old, it's really fast, Dad still remembers the way you wore open crotch pants, and in a blink of an eye, you will become an adult, and Dad is getting old." ”

"Dad, you are in your early forties, how can you be considered old." Xiao Yuan hurriedly said, but looking at his father's somewhat old face, he felt that his nose was a little sour, and years of hard work made his father look older than the average person in his forties, and the hair on his sideburns also added a lot of gray, so he said, "Dad, I have grown up, I can take care of myself, and the family is not short of money, you should work less and pay more attention to your body in the future." ”

"Huh." Xiao Changtian smiled and said, "Xiaoyuan, it seems that you have really grown up, especially in the past half a year, you are much more sensible than before, if it was before, you would never be able to say this." ”

"Can you be immature, your mental age is more than thirty." Xiao Yuan scolded a sentence, but said in his mouth, "I also think that I was really ignorant before, so you always worry about me, Dad, I promise you that it will get better and better in the future, by the way, Dad, have you ever thought about finding yourself a companion again?" ”

Xiao Changtian didn't expect Xiao Yuan to ask such a thing, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled, shook his head and said, "I've become an old man, what kind of companion are you looking for." ”

After saying this, he immediately glared at Xiao Yuan and said, "Dad's heart, you don't have to it, Dad found that your feelings are a little chaotic, Tang Sa and Xia Jiuying, which one do you like?" ”

"Ugh!" Xiao Yuan didn't expect that he asked casually, and his father immediately transferred the question to himself, smiled and said, "I only like Xia Jiuying." ”

"Alas, you kid, Xia Jiuying is a good boy, but ......" Xiao Changtian heard Xiao Yuan say this, sighed lightly and said, but halfway through speaking, he stopped the topic, waved his hand and said, "You can worry about your own affairs, Dad won't care, and after a while, you can't manage it even if you want to." ”

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, wondering what his father meant by this, and he couldn't control it if he wanted to.

"Dad, what do you mean by that?" After thinking for a while, Xiao Yuan was a little puzzled, so he asked.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Changtian asked rhetorically.

"That's it, after a while, I can't manage it even if I want to?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"Hehe, it's not interesting, just casually." Xiao Changtian waved his hand and said.

"Is it really casual? I don't see it like that. Xiao Yuan looked at his father suspiciously and asked.

"Why, you still doubt that Dad's words can't be true, that's good, now Dad will take care of you and punish you for drinking three glasses of wine!" Xiao Changtian glared and said.

"Ahh Xiao Yuan was shocked and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Dad, you spare me, I won't dare in the future." ”

"Hehe, I can't cure you anymore." Xiao Changtian saw that Xiao Yuan was soft, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and said.
