Chapter 61: Birth
As the New Year passed little by little, the noodle restaurant's business was getting better and better.
Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and tomorrow will pass, and the year will be completely far away.
After closing in the afternoon, Li Miaomiao and the shopkeeper Zhu finished the accounts, and seeing that it was still early, they sat on the side and thought about the hot pot restaurant.
I've been busy these days, and I only want to come up with some prototypes when I'm free. The main reason is that the capital in her hands is not much, she has to find a way to earn more silver, and she has to take advantage of the summer to open the store in the next few months, otherwise in the summer, it will be completely out of business. After all, in ancient times, ice was used by the rich.
Inadvertently turned his head to the side, only to see the heads of the shopkeeper Zhu gathered together, muttering and muttering without knowing what to say.
Seeing her coming, Yanyan, who was looking at the wind, hurriedly reminded everyone, and the discussion suddenly disappeared.
Li Miaomiao was confused, "What are you talking about, is there anything I can't know?" ”
Several people looked at each other, but none of them answered out loud, and Li Miaomiao knew that she couldn't ask anything.
Back at home, no matter how she coerced and lured, several children refused to reveal a word, and even Xinxin, who had always listened to her, was silent.
I don't know, since I found out what they were doing behind their backs, and if I didn't figure out anything, Li Miao's heart was hanging, and it was very uncomfortable.
But she couldn't, Li Miaomiao had to force herself to fall asleep quickly, and she didn't have to think about anything after falling asleep.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Miaomiao woke up early, dressed as usual, opened the door, and saw three children standing at the door together.
Seeing her come out, he said happily, "Sister, I wish you a happy birthday." ”
Li Miaomiao was still a little confused, and reacted for a moment before she thought that today was the original body, ah no, now is her birthday.
"Thank you," Li Miaomiao said, stroking each child's head.
Lei Lei, who was standing in the middle, held a small wooden box in both hands and handed it to Li Miaomiao, "This is a gift for our three sisters." ”
The three children watched expectantly as their sister took the gift, which was all their pocket money, and what if the sister didn't like it.
"Ah, you also gave me a gift" Li Miaomiao quickly took it.
"Let me see what gifts you've prepared." Li Miaomiao said as she couldn't wait to open the box.
"Sister will know when she sees it", Lei Lei said, Xinxin and Yanyan also looked at her for a moment.
Li Miaomiao opened the box and saw that it contained a silver bracelet, although it was thinner, but the style was very good-looking.
Li Miaomiao immediately took it out and put it on her wrist, looking at the weight, it cost about two taels of silver. It seems that the children used all their pocket money to buy her gifts.
Li Miaomiao's heart swept through a warm current, looked at the three children and said, "Sister likes it very much, thank you Lei Lei, Xinxin, and our little Yanyan, this is the best gift my sister has received." ”
Hearing her words, the three children breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed happily, "I said my sister would like it." ”
"yes, the sister we picked must like it."
"yes, yes".
The three children chattered and discussed.
At breakfast, the three children were still very excited, Li Miaomiao rarely had birthdays in her previous life, so this birthday meant very much to her. The main thing is that I have my family by my side, and the gift is not important. Although a boiled red egg, in her opinion, is incomparable to any delicacy.
"My sister is very happy to receive your gifts, but you should also know that you can give gifts when you want to do it, and you don't have to pay attention to whether it is expensive or not. The pocket money that my sister usually gives you, as long as it is not extravagant and wasteful, you can buy whatever you want, you don't have to save it, you know. Although Li Miaomiao touched their hearts, she was reluctant to let them suffer a little for themselves.
"Got it, sister."
"As long as my sister is happy, we are willing to give anything." Xinxin said firmly.
Li Miaomiao knew his feelings for herself, and she was a little more distressed in addition to being pleased, this kid was really sensible and distressing.
After eating, I have to go to the town, and there will be a lot of people on the fifteenth day of the first month, so it seems that some of them are busy today.
Sure enough, before noon, there were a lot of customers in the noodle restaurant. Fortunately, Li Dazhuang and Li Cuntao also came to help.
The people in the store didn't care about lunch, and they were busy until Shen Shi.
Li Miaomiao was about to go to the kitchen to cook something to eat for everyone, but was stopped by everyone. Just let her sit and wait.
After a while, the smell of food came, and it turned out that Brother Changlin went out to buy wine and food.
"Brother Changlin, where did you buy the wine and food, it's so fragrant," Li Miaomiao asked.
"Fumanlou, originally everyone wanted to help you celebrate your birthday, but the money shopkeeper heard that today is your birthday, so he refused to accept the cashier." Changlin touched his head embarrassedly, he originally went to buy it, but he took advantage of others.
Li Miaomiao was moved again after hearing this, "I didn't expect everyone to know my birthday." ”
Li Miaomiao remembered what a few people were discussing together yesterday, it turned out to be for today, she was moved and funny in her heart, and it felt so good to be remembered.
The group sat down one after another, and there were no outsiders, so there was no need to pay attention to the law of eating without saying anything, everyone chatted while eating.
Fumanlou has prepared four meat, four vegetarian and eight dishes, all of which are famous dishes in the restaurant, and the money shopkeeper is practical.
"Miao Miao, this is a gift for you", Shopkeeper Zhu sent a gift prepared by himself, which was a set of calligraphy.
Li Miaomiao looked at the black lines on her face, Shopkeeper Zhu is really, she usually dislikes her words, but isn't giving such a gift a reminder for her to practice her words well.
Li Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little powerless, this ancient brush writing can be said to be her hard wound, no matter how she teaches, she just can't grasp the essence, until now, the writing is not as good as Yanyan's little girl.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, you really know how to choose gifts", Li Miaomiao said with a reluctant smile. ”
"You're welcome", Shopkeeper Zhu smiled very badly.
Zhu Zhanggui started the way, and everyone also sent the gifts they prepared.
Li Dazhuang gave a plum hairpin, and Li Miaomiao took it with both hands, "Thank you, uncle."
Li Dazhuang smiled shyly, "It's good if you like it." ”
Li Cuntao handed over the gift he had prepared, and Li Miaomiao happily took it, it was a silver earring.
"Thank you cousin, it's beautiful". Seeing that she liked it, Li Cuntao was also very happy in her heart, these earrings were bought after she showed off her handkerchief and asked Aunt Wang to sell it for money, and she saved it for a long time.
Sister-in-law Changlin sent clothes, and the styles and fabrics were good.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, this dress is so beautiful, I'll wear it tomorrow."
Sister-in-law Changlin laughed heartily when she heard this, "It's good if you like it, I'm not very good at needlework, and I'm afraid that you will dislike it." ”
Li Miaomiao smiled and said no.
Brother Changlin sent it to Li Miaomiao, who liked it very much, it was a set of wood carvings, there were twelve of them, and she drew the HelloKitty with the patterns, which was vivid.
"You really carved it out, thank you Brother Changlin."
"If you like it, it doesn't take much effort, I would have done some manual work," Changlin said. He had been preparing for these for a long time, and the two children at home rushed to ask for them when they saw them, but it took him a lot of effort to keep them.
Looking at the wood carving in front of her, a thought suddenly popped into Li Miaomiao's mind, and she had to go back and think about it.
After giving the gifts, everyone began to eat again, and in the end, Changlin's sister-in-law went to the kitchen to order a bowl of longevity noodles for Li Miaomiao, although it was a little late, but she still ate it hard, she didn't want to waste a little bit of other people's hearts on her.
It wasn't until the sky was a little darker that everyone finished leaving.
Today's birthday is extremely comfortable, and Li Miaomiao feels that she is surrounded by happiness.
