What does it mean to be twenty years old?

Twenty years old means to grow up, it means to become an adult, it means that we have really grown from a child to an adult in the true sense.

At the age of twenty, we can start doing a lot of things that we couldn't do before.

Twenty-year-old us are no longer considered puppy love, eighteen-year-old we will no longer be limited by the game's growth guardian system, twenty-year-old we can bring our ID card and girlfriends on a trip, and we can get married to a twenty-two-year-old boy to get a license.

The warm sun, the warm sun in winter, seems to be loved by everyone, it shines on the earth and warms people's hearts.

In the south, the early morning of winter is exceptionally late, but that doesn't mean you can stop yourself from waking up early. After all, today is a particularly important day for Enron.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, An Ran's twentieth birthday of the lunar calendar (Yiling, where An Ran is located, mainly celebrates lunar birthdays), which also means that after today, An Ran will really become an adult.

"Happy birthday, baby."

Seeing An Ran sleepy-eyed and looking for food, Mother An couldn't help but feel that her baby daughter could be so cute, and she just woke up and came to the kitchen to find food.

"Thank you, Mom."

It was obvious that he hadn't woken up yet, and he rubbed his eyes peacefully, his voice was deep, with a slight hint of getting up. Whew, I'm so sleepy.

"Why do you wake up so early, baby~"

An Mu asked patiently while bringing a bowl of sweet water to An Ran. An's mother couldn't know more about Enron, if it weren't for something, Enron, who was on vacation, decided not to get up early easily.

“……”

At first, An Ran was silent, and all she could see was the bowl of sweet water in front of her.

"To make matcha cake, that thing needs to be refrigerated for a long time."

After a long time, An Ran sucked a piece of noodles into his mouth, and then chewed and swallowed slowly before slowly answering An's mother and telling her the reason for getting up early.

Yes, the process of matcha cake is really a bit complicated, if you are not a matcha lover, you should not have the leisure to spend most of the day making this.

Fortunately, Enron is not only a matcha lover, she also makes all kinds of desserts and delicacies, and whenever someone has a birthday in the family, then the cake is made by Enron.

This time, it was no exception.

But then again, she really has never challenged matcha cake Enron, and she has only watched some videos, because she thinks it is too cumbersome, and she has not tried it for a long time.

This time, for her twentieth birthday, she must try to make her favorite cake for herself to commemorate this dying childhood.

"Baby, do you need Mommy's help?"

Seeing An Ran looking at the production tutorial over and over again with a puzzled face, An's mother couldn't help but put down the housework in her hand and walked to An Ran's side to watch the tutorial with An Ran.

"Don't, don't! I can do it! ”

An Ran waved his hand, indicating that I can do it myself! After that, he also picked up the gluten flour on the side and began to prepare for sifting.

Tut-tut, but he's really stubborn, and I don't know who he looks like.

An's mother shook her head helplessly, so she had to give up and leave.

That's it, that's it, let her mess it up, whether it succeeds or not, at least it's the result of her own efforts.

It's relatively easy to get started with making cakes, from sifting the flour to adding sugar, eggs and other ingredients to the flour, after all, most cakes can be made in this way.

An Ran followed the tutorial little by little, carefully sifting the matcha powder into the freshly mixed batter.

Different brands of matcha powder will lead to different concentrations of matcha powder, adding more will be bitter, and adding less will make matcha taste less strong, so be extra careful when doing this step.

Stir in the matcha powder and melted butter and bake in a 150-degree oven for 40 minutes.

It is impossible to rest during this waiting period, after all, there are a series of operations such as cutting fruits, making matcha cream, melting white chocolate, gelatin slices, etc.

As before, adding matcha powder was Enron's biggest concern. As for the rest, he is quite skilled, cutting strawberries into flowers, slicing yellow peaches and kiwifruit, so that others can see that they are often done.

At this time, An Ran was wearing anime Corgi one-piece pajamas, wearing a white apron, holding a fruit knife and cutting fruit seriously, and his face was splashed with flour just now like a little flower cat, such a picture is very beautiful, like a housewife.

Bite~

With Enron ready for all the follow-ups, the cake base in the oven was also completed.

Then the next work is a piece of cake for An Ranyan, cut the cake into three layers after cutting off the outer layer of the cake embryo, use the mold to shape the half layer of cake to the same size, put fruit in each layer, spread the original cream and stack it on top of each other.

An Ran skillfully turned the cake pan with one hand and spread matcha cream on the stacked cake with the other. When all this is done, it is time for the final finishing touches.

Place the cut strawberry blossoms and squeeze a circle of small flowers around the cake with a piping bag to finish the work perfectly.

An Ran put down everything in his hand, looked at his masterpiece, nodded, and showed a satisfied smile.

Since her sophomore year of high school, Enron hasn't made a cake for a long time, and this time, she must take a photo to keep it alive.

An Ran, who loves photography, began to pose for the cake, and if there was any flaw, he would delete the photo and retake it, which lasted for nearly an hour.

Tsk tsk, is this a girl?

Finally, after taking satisfactory photos, put the cake in the refrigerator, and then opened QQ to analyze this joy to Sheng Yixuan and Fanyin, who could not come.

Oh roar, full of birthday wishes, I haven't looked at QQ so I haven't paid attention to it, it turns out that so many people have sent her birthday wishes, and even many people sent her at this point in the morning.

If you say that you are not moved, it must be against your will.

"Happy birthday Enron."

"Happy birthday, baby Enron."

"An'an, happy birthday, happy every day."

……

Although the content is mostly the same, it is nothing more than some happy birthday, good health or something, but I wish her to receive it.

"Hello to my An'an

I'm Fanyin. We've known each other for six years, and thank you for taking care of them for the past six years. After today, you will be an adult, and you can get married, but you must know that you are here with me, and you can be a child who will never grow up.

Maybe there were many people in your life who doted on you, but from now on you have one more me. In the future, no matter what we become, where we are, whether we go our separate ways, I will be the same, and I will be able to spend every birthday with you in the future.

This time, I can't accompany you because of something at home.,I'm sorry.,I'll make it up to you next time.,I'll give you another birthday alone.。

That's right, that's right, the birthday gift is delivered to you in the same city, and it is estimated that it will arrive at noon.

At last! Happy Birthday! Love you! ”

is worthy of Fanyin, she hasn't hurt her in vain in the past six years, and the not-too-long birthday blessing moved An Ran to tears.

Fool, I don't want any birthday presents, it's you that matters.

An Ran wiped away her tears with her hands casually, and didn't say too many words of thanks to Fanyin, but just transmitted the photos she had just taken to Fanyin.

"Yes, we haven't known each other for a long time, and this is your first birthday since we met.

Thank you to the world for allowing us to meet. I'm a big boy, I don't say anything pretentious, I just want to say to you, happy 20th birthday, when I'm 22 years old, we'll get married!

Oh, by the way, I'm still a freshman after all, so I don't have much money to buy you gifts, you can take this red envelope, and when I make money, all the gifts before I know you will be made up to you. ”

An Ran looked at this passage and couldn't help but be stunned.

Yes, just like Sheng Yixuan said, he is a freshman and a big boy, so he is not good at words and has no gifts, but so what, because it is him, these are not important.

"Are you stupid, of course I'll wait for you to grow up, that's what I promised you. I can't accept the red envelope, but I'll wait for the gift you make up for me later. ”

Naturally, they can't ask for red envelopes, they have never met, and the other party is a minor who is two years younger than him, what does it look like to say it!

"Gifts have to be supplemented, red envelopes, you have to receive them too!"

"Don't you look down on you?"

Sheng Yixuan said righteousness and solemnity, if you don't accept my red envelope, you just look down on me!

Hey, in desperation, An Ran had to accept this red envelope from the little brother.

"An An! Lin Jie is here, you go open the door! ”

When Integrity and Ran were helpless, An Mother's call interrupted An Ran's thoughts.

"Good~"

An Ran put down his mobile phone, promised, drank saliva, ate extra bread, changed into clothes, and went to open the door for Lin Jie leisurely!

Hmph, you can stay at the door for a while.

"The little guy is so slow, on purpose, you!"

An Ran had just opened the door, and was killed by Lin Jie, without the dignity of a birthday star.

"Lin Jie, you're a girl!"

An Ran angrily slapped Lin Jie's hand away, turned sideways, and made a way for him to enter the house.

"Okay~ My little one, look at what my brother bought you."

Shameless! It's really shameless, Lin Jie is much older than An Ran, just call An Ran a little guy and call himself a brother.

"For the sake of the face of the gift, I don't care about you in general."

For Lin Jie, Enron was not polite at all, and took the gift and opened it directly. Tear off the wrapping paper, open the gift box, and the moment I saw the gift, Enron was excited!

"Ahh Wacom's pen tablet! I've wanted it for a long time! Thank you, brother! ”

No, no, one is excited, the other is happy, even my brother called out, it can be said that it is not against his will.

Well, really, not against the will at all.

"An An, twenty years old."

"You can get married and get a license."

Lin Jie originally said it seriously, which can be said to be quite serious, but the next sentence suddenly broke directly, sure enough, Lin Jie was serious for only three seconds.

"An'an, happy birthday. I'm going to graduate school soon, I don't know what you want most, but I know you must like this. You have to work hard. ”

Okay, don't make trouble, you still have to be serious when you should be serious. Today is a particularly important day in Enron's life. Lin Jie pulled An Ran to sit down on the sofa.

He talked endlessly, and it was rare for An Ran not to mess with him, holding the tablet and quietly listening to Lin Jie's big truth.

They really seem to have never been like this, not fighting or making trouble, one is serious, the other is listening.
