Chapter 38: A Surprise for My Younger Siblings

After Tang Yuyan's sisters and brothers got up to wash up and eat, they went directly to the study, and this time they studied quietly.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the landline in the living room rang with a 'jingle bell'.

My grandmother, who was embroidering insoles in the living room, was the first to answer the phone.

After knowing that her mother had arrived safely in City C, her grandmother beckoned Tang Yuyan's sisters and brothers to come over to answer the phone.

After knowing that their father had received their mother, the three Tang Yuyan sisters and brothers also reported to their mother about the learning content of this morning, and then they didn't know what their mother said to the children, but the children hung up happily.

Two weeks after her mother went to City C, Tang Yuran's 11th birthday and Tang Yuchen's 10th birthday are also approaching.

Tang Yuyan looked at the calendar that had been placed on the balcony desk, and when she saw that next week's Saturday, November 28, Tang Yuran's birthday, November 29, and Tang Yuchen's birthday on November 30, she decided to prepare a birthday surprise for their sister and brother.

Because the birthdays of the two sisters and brothers are next to each other, and Tang Yuchen's birthday coincides with school on Monday, Tang Yuyan decided to have a party on Sunday afternoon, of course, there are two cakes to prepare, after all, they are two little birthday stars.

When Tang Yuyan was about to refine the birthday process, Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen walked into the study.

Tang Yuyan casually put away the calendar on the table, and then began to brush the questions.

Because if you tell in advance that there will be a surprise on that day, it means that there will be no surprises.

The small days go by without hurry, and Tang Yuyan will also take some time every day to plan the birthday party belonging to Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen.

During this time, Tang Yuyan asked her family not to tell Tang Yuran about Tang Yuchen's birthday, and the two siblings may have really forgotten their birthdays and did not bring it up.

On Saturday, Tang Yuyan asked Zhao Hanyue to go out to buy decorations and birthday gifts, and then went to the cake shop to make an appointment for two six-inch cakes, and bought a bag of balloons and a pump on the way back.

After Tang Yuyan finished shopping, she didn't take it home directly, but troubled Zhao Hanyue to put it at her house first, and when Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen left home tomorrow, they would send it over to Zhao Hanyue.

On Saturday morning, Tang Yuyan and Tang Yuran After Tang Yuchen went home from a morning run, Tang Yuyan said to Tang Yuran's sister and brother: "You two haven't had a reunion with your classmates for a long time, so how about finishing your homework today and going out for a day off tomorrow." ”

"Eldest sister, are you serious?" asked Tang Yuchen, who was eating, suspiciously.

"Of course it's true, why lie to you." Tang Yuyan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then said: "When the time comes, you can also call your friends together, and I will give you a total of 500 yuan tomorrow, and you can just go out to play." ”

"Sister, you didn't lie to us, did you, did you really give us 500 yuan to take our friends out to play?" Tang Yuran exclaimed

"Don't!" Tang Yuyan raised her eyebrows, took out 500 yuan in cash from her pocket and shook it and said.

"Yes, we have to ask for what the eldest sister gave." After Tang Yuchen finished speaking, he quickly took the cash from the eldest sister's hand.

"Okay, let's eat first, tomorrow, you can ask a few good friends to go out together in the afternoon." Tang Yuyan said indifferently.

"Sister, why is it afternoon?" Tang Yuran asked suspiciously.

"Because your friends still have to sleep lazily in the morning!" Tang Yuyan quickly picked up this question.

"Okay." Tang Yuran nodded in agreement

"By the way, since we're playing, we have to be at home. I see that the weather forecast says that tomorrow is a good weather, you can go and buy some delicious food and share it with your friends. Tang Yuyan thought for a while, and then said: "Then at about half past four in the afternoon, you are bringing your friends to the house for dinner." ”

"Okay, thank you, eldest sister" Tang Yuchen felt good after listening to Tang Yuyan's arrangement, and it was good to go out for a snack with his friends tomorrow.

"But don't eat too much, I'm going to come back for dinner." Tang Yuyan then advised.

"Mm-hmm, we know," Tang Yuran replied.

After dinner, Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen contacted their good sisters and buddies on QQ respectively, and after agreeing on the meeting time tomorrow afternoon, they excitedly exited the chat dialog box and turned off the computer.

For Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen, today may be the most difficult day, they can be calm when they usually study, but they can't calm down today.

The next day, after Tang Yuran's sister and brother agreed with their friends, Tang Yuyan was also busy after repeatedly determining the time to go home.

First of all, Tang Yuyan called her best friend, and after Zhao Hanyue came to Tang Yuyan's house with everything she bought yesterday, she complained to Tang Yuyan: "You bought too much, I'm almost exhausted." ”

"It's hard, it's hard." Tang Yuyan hurriedly took the things in Zhao Hanyue's hand, and then rummaged through them.

After a while, Grandma and He Lin also returned.

Yesterday, Tang Yuyan found a time to tell her grandmother and He Lin about the surprise she wanted to prepare for Tang Yuran's sister and brother today, and her grandmother and He Lin also fully supported it.

Considering that the people who came today were teenagers, my grandmother went out of her way to buy some candy and put it on the coffee table.

Zhao Hanyue pumped up the balloons, and Tang Yuyan also took the string of colored lanterns and began to decorate the living room.

After a while, the doorbell rang.

Tang Yuyan was stunned all of a sudden, didn't she say that she would come back at half past four in the afternoon, why did she come back in less than half an hour.

Tang Yuyan quickly opened the door after looking at the person standing at the door through the cat's eye at the door.

Standing at the door was actually Tang Yuyan's team leader Song Jiayao.

"Jiayao, what's wrong with you?" Tang Yuyan asked suspiciously, why did Song Jiayao come, she didn't bother the team leader to come over to help.

Zhao Hanyue, who was sitting on the ground pumping up the balloon, looked back and asked, "Yu Yan, is it Jiayao?" ”

After Tang Yuyan heard Zhao Hanyue's natural inquiry, she hurriedly welcomed Song Jiayao in.

"Jiayao, it's really you, come over and help." After Zhao Hanyue saw Song Jiayao, she said happily.

In the following chat, Tang Yuyan learned that it was Zhao Hanyue who called Song Jiayao after going home yesterday and felt that the amount of work tomorrow was too big.

Zhao Hanyue felt that she and Tang Yuyan were the only two people who could decorate the living room, and they might not be busy for a while, so they called Song Jiayao, and after knowing that Song Jiayao had time, she made an appointment with Song Jiayao.

After listening to this explanation, Tang Yuyan smiled awkwardly and said to Song Jiayao: "That Jiayao, you and I will hang the lanterns together, and when the lanterns are finished, we will decorate other things." ”

"Okay" After Song Jiayao finished speaking, he put down the salute flowers in his hand, and hung up the lanterns with Tang Yuyan.

A few people were busy decorating the living room, and Grandma and He Lin were also busy in the kitchen.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two cakes that Tang Yuyan had reserved were delivered.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the smell of rice began to waft from the kitchen.

There was only half an hour left until the agreed four-and-a-half o'clock.

Tang Yuyan took out two gifts from the bedroom, which were two pens of different colors and two different books, one was "Sanmao Wanderings" and the other was "The Most Famous Chinese Folk Tales".

When Tang Yuyan returned to the living room with these two things, Zhao Hanyue said in surprise: "Yuyan, you won't give this to your younger brothers and sisters." ”

"Well, I think these two books are very good, and we don't have them on the bookshelf at home, so I bought them and gave them to them. And this one is still in a gift box, which is also very good. Tang Yuyan said and shook the book and pen in her hand.

"Then it's not good for you to give them just like that!" Song Jiayao was also confused, is it really okay for younger brothers and sisters to give a book and a pen on their birthdays?

"Of course I won't give it to them directly." After Tang Yuyan finished speaking, she ran back to the bedroom and came out with two large white cardboard boxes back and forth.

The box was decorated by Tang Yuyan in advance, as long as the lid was removed, the four sides around the box would be scattered, and then you could see some small gifts placed in the box.

In addition to the books and pens in Tang Yuyan's hands, there was a thick layer of shredded paper at the bottom of the box, one of which contained a Rubik's cube and the other a rag doll.

Tang Yuyan put the box in the living room, opened the box in front of everyone, and then put a string of colored lanterns in the two boxes, and put the prepared books and pens in it, and finally troubled Zhao Hanyue to put three balloons in the box that were rubbed by hair and would float.

After everything was ready, Tang Yuyan took out a signature pen and wrote the names of Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen on the two boxes.

At this time, there were less than ten minutes left before the agreed four-thirty o'clock.

After Song Jiayao followed Zhao Kexin to help Tang Yuyan clean up the living room, the stairwell also heard the sound of Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen chatting with his friends.

Tang Yuyan turned off the headlights in the house and turned on the small warm lights, although the warm yellow lights were not very bright, they were very warm. With the small colored lights interspersed in the living room, everything is beautiful.

After the lights were turned up, the people in the house remained quiet, and the people outside the house waited for Tang Yuran to open the door.

When Tang Yuran opened the door, she first beckoned the friends outside the house to enter the house, and finally she followed Tang Yuchen into the door.

The friends who entered the door first were stunned, because they saw the wall of the living room with 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' on the wall, and when the friends were about to exclaim, Tang Yuyan in the room made a silent action, friends, look at me, I see that you haven't spoken.

After Tang Yuran closed the door, he complained: "Why don't you turn on the headlights in the house." ”

Tang Yuyan whispered to her two younger siblings who were close to her: "Please go and cover Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen's eyes, and then take them to the living room." ”

The two friends obediently walked towards the entrance and covered Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen's eyes.

Tang Yuyan's house has a transfer design at the entrance and the living room, so Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen, who had just entered the house, couldn't see the decoration of the living room at once.

Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen, who were suddenly covered by their little friends, were both puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

The two friends didn't speak, just covered their eyes, and then walked to the living room.

Taking advantage of the time when Tang Yuchen and Tang Yuran were covered with their eyes, Tang Yuyan said to the other friends: "Today is the birthday of the two of them, I have been hiding it from them, and I will trouble you to wish them a happy birthday with me for a while." ”

Tang Yuyan smiled very kindly, and her appearance as a big sister also convinced the friends present, so the friends nodded obediently.

Tang Yuyan commanded the two little friends who covered Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen's eyes, and asked them to take Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen to the front and back of the two big boxes, and took out the salute cannon in their hands.

The two friends who covered their eyes also left with great eyesight.

After the two friends left the stage, Tang Yuyan held the middle of the flower tube with her left hand, and rotated the bottom of the microphone clockwise with her right hand, and with a 'bang', the little red hearts in the room, accompanied by the 'happy birthday' of a room of people, moved Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen to the point that their eyes were red.

Tang Yuyan pointed to the big box in front of them and said, "There are your names on the box, open it and take a look." ”

Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen walked to the box with their respective names, and after taking a look at Tang Yuyan, they slowly opened the box under Tang Yuyan's encouraging eyes.

At the moment when Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen opened the box, the balloon placed in the box flew out, and the eyes of the two also looked at the ceiling with the balloons flying out, and the ceiling was already full of balloons at this time.

The two of them looked at the box again, and inside the box was a small warm yellow lamp surrounded a book and a rectangular gift box.

After the two took out the gift box and opened it, they saw that a brand-new fountain pen was placed inside, and then took out the books, puppets and Rubik's cubes placed in the box.

Then, he happily said to Tang Yuyan: "Sister, thank you, I like it very much", "Sister, thank you, this gift is great." ”

Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen are like the New Year, they are not happy, it can be said that the surprise that Tang Yuyan prepared for them is really exciting.

"It's not just me who works, but also my sister's two friends, and my grandmother who prepares a sumptuous dinner for everyone, Sister Lin, they all have a share." Tang Yuyan put down the fireworks cannon in her hand and said with a smile.

Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen looked at their grandmother, Sister Lin, and Tang Yuyan's two friends, and said, "Grandma, Sister Lin, sister's friend, thank you." ”

The two spoke, facing their grandmother, Sister Lin and Tang Yuyan's two friends bowed deeply.

Zhao Hanyue and Song Jiayao smiled and waved their hands, and said, "This is Yu Yan's idea, we are just doing a favor." ”

After seeing Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen bowing, Grandma also hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's eat first, after eating, let's eat cake again." ”

As she spoke, Grandma led a group of children towards the dining room.

This time, Tang Yuran found two little sisters, Tang Yuchen found three little buddies, and Tang Yuyan, grandmother, He Lin, Zhao Hanyue, and Song Jiayao in the house, a total of 12 people.

There are definitely not enough tables in the dining room, but it's okay to eat standing up.

The friends didn't eat much, and after the meal, Tang Yuyan took out two cakes in the refrigerator and put them on the coffee table in the living room.

After Tang Yuyan brought birthday hats to the two little birthday stars, she lit candles, and a group of people sang birthday songs around the coffee table.

After the singing ended, the two little birthday stars followed their respective friends to blow out the candles.

Finally came to the scene of dividing the cake, Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen first cut a piece of cake for their grandmother, and then cut a piece of cake for He Lin, Tang Yuyan, Zhao Hanyue, and Song Jiayao.

Of course, these people all gave the cake to the friends of the two little birthday stars first.

After the last group of people finished eating the cake, it was almost seven o'clock, and Tang Yuyan saw that the time was not early, so she asked the distance from their home to here, and saw if they needed their parents to come and pick them up.

A few friends said that the distance is not far away, and they can go back.

In the end, Tang Yuyan said to them: "Then you can call us when you go home and report that you are safe, okay?" ”

After a group of children saw such a gentle young lady, they naturally agreed.

The last group of friends went home together, and Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen paid attention to the decoration of the house.

From the HAPPY BIRTHDAY on the background wall of the sofa, to the warm colored lights hanging all over the house, to the balloons suspended on the ceiling, it can be said that Tang Yuyan is very attentive to this party.

After Tang Yuyan saw off Zhao Hanyue and Song Jiayao, she began to clean up the scattered fragments of love fireworks.

The fireworks cannon was put off for the wonderful effect, and Tang Yuyan burst into tears in her heart when she was cleaning up.

After finishing cleaning up the love paper on the ground, Tang Yuyan found a book called "The Kite Runner" from the study, returned to the sofa next to the landline in the living room, and began to look through it.

After Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen accompanied Tang Yuyan to clean up, they also followed Tang Yuyan to read the book Tang Yuyan gave them.

After receiving calls from all her friends, Tang Yuyan saw that it was almost half past eight, so she beckoned Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen to wash.

And Tang Yuyan herself returned to the study and took the books put down by Tang Yuran's sister and brother back to the study and put them down.

Today is destined to be unforgettable for Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen, because so far, Tang Yuyan is the first person to prepare a birthday party for them.

may also be because of this relationship, so the relationship between the three sisters and brothers has become more intimate.

At nine o'clock, at the time agreed between Tang Yuyan and her parents, the landline bell rang on time.

After Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen answered the phone separately, they learned that Tang Yuyan had started preparing for their birthday two weeks ago.

The phone call of Mom and Dad at nine o'clock in the evening was also requested by Tang Yuyan, and her mother originally planned to call home at about nine o'clock in the morning, but Tang Yuyan said that she had a surprise to give to Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen, so it was delayed until nine o'clock in the evening.

After her mother asked what surprises she had prepared, Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen surrounded the landline and excitedly told her mother everything that happened today.

In the end, Tang Yuran said that in fact, what she was most moved by was that Tang Yuyan prepared two cakes.

Because Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen's birthdays are next to each other, every time the two of them celebrate their birthdays, the family only prepares a cake, and this time Tang Yuyan prepared two, and she was really moved to cry.

Mom and dad didn't expect Tang Yuyan to prepare so wonderfully, and they regretted not recording it.

Maybe this is a point that touches the softness of my father's heart, and it is this point that made Tang Yuyan's sister and brother leave N City and fly to C City in advance.
