5. Birthday
Su Lu rubbed his eyes, he always felt as if he had forgotten something.
After eating breakfast, he sat in a daze for a while, Su Lu looked at the rhubarb at the door and was a little confused, he always felt that there was something very important, and he didn't want to come out and have a good time.
What the hell is going on?
Su Lu felt that his head was going to be scratched bald.
This thought came to lunch. Suddenly, seeing Yunhua walking towards him with a lunch box, Su Lu patted his head and remembered that today was Orchid's tenth birthday.
This orchid is also a poor person, Su Lu still remembers that he was only seven years old that year, and he was playing at the door of Baihualou accompanied by the old bustard, but he heard a faint cry, and the seven-year-old boy was full of curiosity, so he led the old bustard around to find the cry.
But I saw that at the mouth of the alley not far from Baihualou, a tattered cloth bag was thrown into a basket to contain it, and the cry came from inside.
After thinking about it carefully, I also felt that it was really God, the child was tired of crying, crying weakly, and there was a distance between them, so Su Lu found it.
Su Lu has also been a kind-hearted person since he was a child, and he pulled the old bustard's sleeve and asked if he could help him take her in, this old bustard, who was also an orphan since he was a child, was touched by the queen and found someone to adopt, how similar is this little girl's life experience.
The old bustard touched the scene and felt that he was also capable of supporting the little girl, so he agreed.
Slowly, slowly, this day flowed like water, Su Lu's tenth birthday, the orchid was already three years old, that evening, after his birthday, Xiao Su Lu carried a lunch box half as tall as him, and slowly came over step by step, he decided to share a birthday meal with the orchid.
That night, Little Orchid and Xiao Sulu chatted, and Little Orchid didn't know how to speak, so she babbled and echoed Xiao Sulu, and the two of them talked to each other half-incomprehensibly.
Suddenly, Xiao Sulu decided that Little Orchid was his good friend, but he couldn't even come to his birthday, so Xiao Sulu made a promise to give Little Orchid a tenth birthday.
No, today is his tenth birthday when he picked up the orchid.
As a result, he couldn't remember, but this Yunxiang remembered his previous instructions, and prepared them in advance, and the contents of the lunch box were no different from the ones he brought to the orchid for his tenth birthday last time.
Su Lu hurriedly took the lunch box and rushed to Baihualou, now I can remember, I made an appointment a month ago to let Orchid wait for his birthday today, but I have to hurry.
On the way to Baihualou, Su Lu saw a small silver jewelry shop, Su Lu thought, in fact, it is a little late, if there is a small gift to bring, maybe it can make the orchid dissipate, plus yesterday also made her unhappy, it is really impossible not to bring some other gifts.
He carefully selected a simple but lovely butterfly hairpin, and when he was about to pay and leave, he thought of the new Ah Xue, I don't know why, he also wanted to bring some gifts to Ah Xue by the way.
Su Lu felt a little strange, why did he have such thoughts? Is it because of Ah Xue's beautiful eyelashes? Or do you want to comfort Ah Xue's filial piety?
Shaking his head, he Su Lu didn't think about what reason he wanted to give a gift to a poor woman, so he picked a beautiful silver flower hairpin, and left after settling the account.
Su Lu entered the small attic of the orchid with a familiar car, and saw that the orchid was sitting at the table looking at him angrily, so he put down the lunch box on the small wooden table and said with a smile: "Orchid, I didn't forget to celebrate your birthday, I went to buy you a gift, oh, for you." Su Lu said as he took out the butterfly hairpin from his cuff and handed it to the orchid.
Orchid saw the butterfly's light and agile posture, and loved it tightly, so she took it happily, and was about to insert a bronze mirror for herself to appreciate it carefully, and suddenly remembered that she was having a temper with Su Lu, so she put the butterfly on the table, pursed her small mouth and didn't want to look at the butterfly hairpin again.
Su Lu smiled bitterly, this little girl has become difficult to fool, she used to forget everything when she saw the gift, but now she is much smarter.
"Lan'er, it's Brother Lu who is not good, he is late, but Brother Lu is definitely not late on purpose, it is all to organize a birthday for Little Orchid, forgive Brother Lu, okay?" Su Lu walked to the edge of the orchid, squatted down and apologized with a grin.
"It really is! I promised people a long time ago, saying that I would definitely come early for my birthday, and it was already past noon, so I came over, and I deliberately didn't eat anything! Just waiting for you! "The orchid's little mouth is just upturned.
Su Lu scratched his head, picked up the butterfly hairpin on the table, put it on the orchid seriously, and brought the bronze mirror to the orchid, he first looked at the orchid carefully and nodded, he still recognized his taste.
Su Lu touched Orchid's head and said, "Orchid, look, you have to be considerate of Brother Lu, it will take a long time to eat so much, even if it is me, I can't finish it all at once, right?" For the sake of this hairpin, will you forgive Brother Lu once? ”
Orchid is still a little unhappy, but there is nothing to say, besides, this hairpin is really cute, he nodded, pointed to the lunch box and said: "Then you open it quickly, put it all out for me to see, is it exactly the same as the one you brought on your last birthday." ”
Su Lu smiled, how young this girl was on his last birthday, and he couldn't remember which ones there were ghosts, let alone this little girl. The food in it was all written down by him after he promised last time, so he told the cook to find Steward Ge to write it down, so naturally it was impossible to make a mistake.
Su Lu opened the lunch box, and the same snacks were placed on the table, there was more than this on his tenth birthday, but at that time, all he brought to the orchid who was still a little girl was some snacks and the like, and the fish and meat were left unreadable, so why not bring the little orchid to eat.
Orchid looked at the delicate snacks on the table, and slowly smiled happily, unlike Su Lu thought, she remembered a lot of dim sum, the plate of osmanthus lotus root was the sweetest, the osmanthus flowers embellished were just good-looking, but the taste of boiled osmanthus flowers boiled into the lotus, plus the stuffed glutinous rice, as well as the rotten lotus root slices that were ripe outside, and then poured a full spoonful of sugar juice, the crystal clear look was almost panicked, but it was the cleanest orchid ate at that time, she still remembered that she was so sweet that she wanted to vomit, But I can't help but stuff another piece into my mouth, and the feeling of the sweetness melting in my mouth is really intoxicating.
Orchid smiled and pointed to this plate of osmanthus lotus, he must let Su Lu feed her immediately, Su Lu also smiled, of course he also knows the favorite of orchids, and he will bring her some to eat from time to time on weekdays, if it weren't for the orchid's teeth, Su Lu would definitely let her eat a happy meal.
Su Lu picked up a piece of lotus root, dipped it in the sugar juice, and fed it to the orchid with a long mouth.
Looking at the smile on the face of the orchid as he savored it, Su Lu seemed to have found the breath he was greedy and longing for last night.
Perhaps this is also what orchids like.
