After this turmoil, the relationship between me and my stepmother has become more delicate. On the other hand, she seemed to be a little nicer to me, but in fact, the disgust for me in her eyes deepened.

This feeling made me even more uncomfortable. The kind of deliberate hypocrisy is better than before. I know very well that we are just suppressing each other's emotions, and one day, there will always be one person who will explode again.

Since Xu Fengfan came to see me last time, he and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Occasionally, just send a text message to say hello, for the current way of getting along, it is a very harmonious friendship.

Xu Qiuyun has never bothered me again, and she will soon take the college entrance examination. At this moment, learning is the most important thing for her.

Time slipped away silently, and it was about to enter April.

In a few days, it's my birthday. After this birthday, I will be a true adult, and I can be responsible for everything I do.

Liu Wei has always had relatively little contact with me, maybe he is really busy abroad, or maybe it's really because of the time difference, which is inconvenient. But now, I'm very calm about it, even if he doesn't have an email or a phone call for a month, I accept it calmly.

I thought that life would be like this as plain as water, and I spent it. Who knows, birthday, but it is a fuse.

This birthday, eighteen years old. I suddenly didn't want to be alone, so I told my stepmother that I wanted to invite a few classmates to sit at home and have a meal. The stepmother thought about it and agreed. But she let me be in the dorm room and do whatever I wanted.

I can think about it, but I'm alone in the dormitory anyway. It's also good to tidy up and set up a table for eating.

I happily invited Li Jie, Yuan Xiaorong, Wang Feng, Chen Yingjie, Xu Fengfan, and Chen Yinzhu to join me for my birthday party.

After school in the afternoon, except for Yuan Xiaorong and Xu Fengfan, who came late, a few of us came to the dormitory together. Chen Yingjie helped me clean and decorate the dormitory a day in advance. Happy birthday stickers were plastered on the walls, balloons were hung, and a twinkling star light was pulled. It was cosy and atmospheric.

I was very happy and asked them to wait in the dormitory, and Chen Yingjie and I went to the kitchen to find my stepmother and see what delicious food she had prepared for us, which we could take over.

When I came to the kitchen, my stepmother was cooking, and I casually asked, "Mom, what can I bring to entertain my friends?" ”

My stepmother didn't even look at me, she washed her dishes with her head down, and said to me, "On the table." ”

I excitedly went to the table to take it, and saw ...... A few packets of chewing gum, a plate of melon seeds, a plate of peanuts, no ......

"Mom, is it this melon seed peanut?"

"That's right."

"Oh." I glanced at Chen Yingjie, he shook his head, and we took it and walked out first.

As soon as I came out, I said to Chen Yingjie in an unhappy mood: "Why is this so? ”

"Xiaolong, don't be in a hurry to get angry first, isn't it still early? Maybe your mom is doing it, isn't it? ”

I think about it, when I first went in, my stepmother was still washing vegetables, I'm afraid this snack is a small snack for us to eat while we wait. In this way, the mentality will be balanced.

A few of us sat and chatted in the dormitory, and Xu Fengfan and Yuan Xiaorong also arrived half an hour later. In the dormitory, there were drinks prepared by Chen Yingjie in advance, and the melon seeds and peanuts were eaten, and it was dark.

Xu Fengfan began to cry hungry, I looked at the time, and before I knew it, it was half past seven. I wondered why my stepmother didn't come to ask us to eat.

I came to the house alone to see, my sister was watching TV alone, and I asked her, "Yingying, have you eaten?" ”

My sister said, "Of course I ate it, what's the matter, sister, didn't you eat it?" Didn't Mom say you had a big meal with your classmates? By the way, happy birthday sister! ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart immediately chuckled, and I hurried to the kitchen to take a look. My stepmother was washing the dishes, and I asked her, "Mom, why don't you call us when you eat?" ”

"Oh? Do you want to call you? Didn't you eat with your classmates? ”

"Yes, didn't I tell you two days in advance that I would invite my classmates to my home for dinner? How to ......"

"Oh, then I thought you would eat it yourself, didn't you prepare melon seeds or something."

My stepmother didn't look at me, but the anger in my heart seemed to be about to explode. I endured it and didn't want to quarrel. It's my birthday today, so let's solve the problem first.

When I returned to the dormitory, as soon as I entered the door, I was surrounded by everyone and asked, "Is the meal ready, starving to death?"

I didn't know how to answer, and I couldn't answer, so I could only smile and say to them that it was coming, it was coming. Then call out Chen Yingjie and go outside to tell him the truth. Chen Yingjie was very angry, blaming me for not communicating with my stepmother in advance, and at the same time saying that my stepmother was too unkind to do things.

"Mother Chen's is not the time to complain, solve the problem first, everyone is hungry."

"What can I do, now that the school cafeterias are off work, and the supper hasn't started yet, I can only order takeout. Even if I let my mother do it, I won't be in a hurry to make much, so let's call for takeout is slow, you go to accompany them first, and I'll go to the stir-fry restaurant outside our yard to pack it back, so it will be faster. ”

I nodded, and I had to solve it first. Chen Yingjie went out directly, and I went back to the dormitory, accompanied by a smiling face, and asked everyone to wait a little longer.

Li Jie knew that I had a bad relationship with my stepmother, and she quietly asked me if there was something wrong, and I shook my head and said no, it was just that I forgot to prepare dinner.

Li Jie was a little unconvinced, but in order to cooperate with me, she suggested that everyone come first and give gifts while waiting for dinner.

As a result, the atmosphere suddenly became warm, and in the joy of sending and receiving, I forgot about the problem of hunger. Fortunately, Chen Yingjie took the packaged dishes and put them on the table in about half an hour.

Although, after dinner, everyone was happy, but I was angry. Anyway, it's something I've told my stepmom beforehand, and it's my birthday.

I've never had a birthday since I came to this house. Every year is quiet, except for Chen Yingjie, no one remembers.

In the evening, everyone left. Chen Yingjie accompanied me to clean up the messy room.

"Xiaolong, let's forget about today's matter. Don't worry about your mother, it's you who gets angry in the end. ”

"Well, okay, I got it." Although I replied like this, the fire in my heart could not be suppressed.

At night, lying in bed, I thought a lot, and it seemed that I was really not fit to take it down in this house......
