Chapter 423: Birthday Cake
Speaking of the sentimental part, Si Qing almost cried again. But seeing that everyone is so attentive to her birthday today, she also secretly told herself in her heart that she can't cry anymore, after all, she will be a big girl after all.
Feng Yuntong looks very arrogant on weekdays, but in fact he is the most emotional person.
Now seeing Si Qing like this, she felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and she was afraid that if she opened her mouth to persuade her, she would cry out, so she didn't know what to say to comfort her for a while.
Fortunately, Meng Yuyao has always been the best at dealing with people, and now she pulled Si Qing to talk to her about the gift she gave, which diverted Si Qing's attention. Si Qing saw that the sisters in front of him were so good to him, so he naturally endured it and didn't cry anymore.
"It doesn't matter, now you have Sister Yun who loves you so much, even if the two are not sisters, but in our eyes, she treats you like a sister. And if you also call us sister, we will really treat you as a sister, and then you can't remember, we will help you remember, where is the need to cry nose? β
Meng Yuyao not only persuaded Si Qing a few words, but also praised Feng Yuntong. Feng Yuntong also nodded with satisfaction, getting along with such a person who can speak and has high emotional intelligence will really make her feel much happier.
"These gifts, you have to put them away, and then open them, it's not good to open them in front of these sisters. Now put your things away, and I've got other good stuff for you today. β
Feng Yuntong pretended to say this mysteriously, and Si Qing was also attracted by what she said, and her eyes were wide open, looking very curious.
At this time, Feng Yuntong took out the cloth bag, which seemed to be not as elaborate as the gift given by Chu Zhihan and Meng Yuyao, but this was a big gift from Si Zhenzi to his granddaughter, and Feng Yuntong deliberately left it in the finale.
"Is this a gift from your grandfather, or did he remind you before, I only knew that your birthday was so close. As your only relative in this world today, your grandfather is naturally the one who cares about you the most. β
Hearing Feng Yuntong say this, he thought of his grandfather, although he had only been separated for a few days, Si Qing was a little sour for a while.
However, in order to avoid crying again suddenly and not to make the atmosphere awkward, Si Qing could only nod hurriedly and take it over.
Carefully opened it, and saw that inside the cloth bag was actually a beautifully made paper kite, Si Qing's mouth suddenly opened wide in surprise, and he was speechless for a long time.
"This kid has always wanted a paper kite, and he almost got into trouble in order to sneak out to buy a paper kite. We don't mention these things, but fortunately, her grandfather still put a lot of thought into it, and actually made this paper kite for her by himself, let's see if you like it? β
Feng Yuntong was afraid that the others would not know what was going on, so he chuckled and joked and explained like this.
Although Chu Zhihan and Meng Yuyao were born into a prestigious family, they have seen all kinds of valuable things since they were children, but the paper kite made with great effort like this, and the painting is actually in the shape of a golden crow, they also saw it for the first time, and they all praised it.
"Grandpa Xiaoqing is really attentive, such a delicate paper kite, Rao is what my embroidery girls can't make. What's more, making paper kites is different from embroidery, and the design should be more ingenious, otherwise no matter how beautiful it is, it won't be able to fly, which is enough to see your grandfather's love for your granddaughter. β
Meng Yuyao seemed to like the paper kite very much, and couldn't help but praise a few more words.
Si Qing was even happier, and he couldn't wait to hold the paper kite tightly in his arms, but thinking that this thing was already fragile, although he couldn't put it down, he also had to have a degree.
"Can we put paper kites later? This paper kite is so good-looking, I have never let go of the paper kite, I don't know if it can fly. β
Si Qing happily lifted the paper kite above his head, looking at the blue sky outside with some longing.
Feng Yuntong nodded happily, she had planned all this, and asked people to clean up the backyard before, just so that their group of little sisters could go to the backyard to play happily later.
"Of course, I'll take care of all of you if I invite you here today. Now let Cai Wei put away the rest of the gifts for you, let's go to the backyard first, there are other surprises waiting for you. β
Seeing that Feng Yuntong looked proud, raised his eyebrows and didn't say so, Chu Zhihan and Meng Yuyao were also curious.
And it was only at this time that Murong Shuang was late, because she felt that it was not good to be late, and now as soon as she came in, she had an apologetic look on her face.
"I'm really sorry, I'm late, I've seen two Baolin, I'm sorry to make you wait for me, and I also made the birthday star wait for a long time, I really shouldn't."
It stands to reason that Murong Shuang's current rank as a female official is higher than that of the two Baolin, but after all, Baolin is a palace concubine, and she can't talk about them all about female officials, so she still politely salutes first.
Feng Yuntong hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her up, because she knew that Si Qing and the others would not care.
"It's not too late, it's not too late, you came just in time, we were about to go to the backyard seat for a while. I've prepared some food, and I've put a lot of thought into it, and you're here better than everyone else! β
Hearing Feng Yuntong say this, everyone was amused, Si Qing also likes Murong Shuang's sister very much on weekdays, and she also knows that Murong Shuang has helped Feng Yuntong a lot, so how can she blame her?
Seeing the gift that the other party prepared for himself, he naturally thanked him sweetly.
After everyone came to the backyard, they found that Feng Yuntong had arranged a few crescent tables in the courtyard, with seats placed next to them, and flowers were heartily decorated around them.
Even the trees for them to enjoy the shade are tied with delicate glass flowers, which look like a dream, and everyone seems to be in a sea of flowers.
"Sister Yuntong, your hands are too skillful, are you all arranging it alone? Now this season is not to see cherry blossoms, I looked at it from a distance, and thought that you hid a blooming cherry blossom in your yard, it turned out that you had the heart to use glass to make petals? β
When Chu Zhihan saw the current scene, he was even more excited than Si Qing, stepped forward to touch the glass petals that were as thin as cicada wings, and hurriedly praised Feng Yuntong in surprise.
Feng Yuntong was almost fluttering for a while, so he was embarrassed, waved his hand, stretched out his hand and pointed to the seats, signaling everyone to take a seat.
"How could it be that I set it up alone? With so many flowers, it is natural to have the credit of Cai Wei and the help of others, and of course, there is also the credit of Aunt Guo. β
Feng Yuntong suddenly mentioned Xiao Guo who was shrinking aside, Xiao Guo coughed a little embarrassed, and then smiled with a thin throat twisted, and said a few polite words, making Cai Wei and the others laugh out loud.
Si Qing looked at the fairyland-like dreamy scene in front of him, and was already speechless in surprise, and after being led to the main seat by Feng Yuntong and sitting down, he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to thank him.
Feng Yuntong could see that the little girl was a little uncomfortable, patted the back of her hand lightly, pointed to the things in the box in front of her, and blinked mysteriously.
"That's the big gift of the day, and I've tried it many times to prepare for it. I started working on it this morning, and although I don't know if it will be successful, this is the main event, and it is my gift to you today. β
As soon as Feng Yuntong said this, everyone stared curiously at the thing on the plate on the crescent moon table. Now Feng Yuntong found a cardboard box to cover it, so no one can know what is inside.
After Si Qing heard you say this, he naturally looked at the table in surprise, tilted his head and thought about it, he really couldn't guess what a good thing it was.
"Is it longevity? I've only heard other people say that you should eat longevity noodles when you celebrate your birthday, but I've never eaten them, is there any difference compared to Yangchun noodles? β
Si Qing was so naΓ―ve, everyone laughed as soon as she said this, but everyone looked at her with doting eyes, so naturally they didn't mean to laugh at her.
Feng Yuntong shook his head, although he felt that the longevity noodles were not rare, and they were not worth mentioning compared to the gift he prepared, but Si Qing's guess was already very similar.
"It's not longevity, but the meaning is the same. It's embarrassing for you to guess any longer, so I'll open it and let you see if you can guess its name. β
After Feng Yuntong finished speaking, he went to open the cardboard box covered it, and everyone's eyes lit up, and what appeared was something similar to a pastry, but very huge.
It is also dotted with many flowers and fruits, which looks very delicate, and this color combination will tempt everyone's appetite.
But if you look closely, this thing is neither like the flower cake you eat on weekdays, nor like a fruit bowl, nor does it look like a hot dish. Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what it was.
Feng Yuntong couldn't help laughing when she saw that everyone would react like this. Although I feel that the name of this thing always seems out of place in this situation, who makes himself a person who is incompatible with this world.
"Okay, don't embarrass you, this is called a birthday cake. In my hometown, you have to eat a birthday cake and light a candle on your birthday, so you can make a wish come true by making a wish on a candle! β
Hearing Feng Yuntong say this, everyone thought that this was a tradition in Fengming's country, but Cai Wei was confused after hearing it, why did she never know that Fengming's country had a birthday cake?
As if realizing that he had slipped his mouth, Feng Yunjiao hurriedly waved his hand and laughed slightly embarrassedly.
"It's not my hometown, it's what I read in ancient books, there is a peach blossom paradise where people live happily, there is such a tradition. I also tried to restore it according to the description inside, but I don't know if it tastes good or not. β
