Qin Zixi, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, saw a familiar back walking around the corner of the park, and hurriedly asked his mother to stop the car, and when he looked at it again, the person had disappeared.

"What's wrong son?"

Lin Su looked at his gaze in confusion, but there was nothing.

Thinking that he was wrong, how could Qiao Yunxia be here, he smiled and said to his mother: "It's nothing, there was a cat running in front of the car." ”

Lin Su didn't care, and drove in the direction of home from the newly started car, "By the way, if you meet that Ouyang Jing again in the future, don't fight with him, you know?" After all, if you live in the same district, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so it's best to be friends with him. ”

Qin Zixi didn't listen to her words, turned his head to look at the scenery dangling outside the window, pondered for a while, and said, "Mom, will you give me another 100,000 yuan?" ”

The sharp sound of brakes startled the birds that were taking a nap in the treetops.

Lin Su didn't jump like thunder, but his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Is someone looking for you for money again?" Son, how are you...."

Qin Zixi didn't understand why her mother said this, what it meant to ask for money, so she interrupted her and said, "No, Mom, where do you want to go, I want to buy something." ”

Lin Su thought, her son didn't know that she had gone to Qiao Yunxia, so he couldn't mention her, "What do you think, don't think that your mother doesn't know." If you want to buy something, I'll buy it for you, what do you want so much money for? You are just too kind and sincere, and you don't wake up after being deceived once. I scolded Qiao Yunxia a hundred times in my heart and was still angry, "If you don't give it, I won't give it to you again today anyway, and the 100,000 mothers who gave it out can not be investigated, but not this time." ”

Seeing that his son didn't speak for a long time, Lin Su said, "Don't hit grandma's attention, I have already explained to her, and she won't give it to you." ”

Qin Zixi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Qiao Yunxia came home, drank a large glass of water, walked to the offering table, and shared the joy with her mother while holding her mother's photo.

"Mom, I got my first job, 500 yuan an hour, and when the summer vacation is over, the tuition fee will be paid, and I will be able to pay off all the debts soon. My daughter will work hard and will not let you down. ”

This afternoon, no matter what she did, Qiao Yunxia hummed a little song and was full of energy.

After cleaning the house inside and out, the sun was about to set, and she took out the only hundred dollars she had under the pillow.

It was when her mother was still alive, she quietly went to pick up white orchids after school and sold them into bracelets, and she planned to save enough to buy a beautiful dress for her mother, but unfortunately she didn't have time.

But tomorrow everything will be fine, this money, she has to use it to buy vegetables and meat, cook a good meal, and celebrate with her brother and Xiaoqing that she has found her first job in life.

In the evening, Ye Xiaoqing came home from work, smelled the vegetables, and when she entered the kitchen, she saw Qiao Yunxia's busy figure, jumped up and hugged her from behind, "Wow, beauty, what are you doing to eat, I am drooling at the intersection?" ”

Qiao Yunxia smiled slyly, put down the spoon, and pulled her to the living room to sit down, "I'm tired from work all day, just sit and wait for food, I'll have good news to announce later." ”

Ye Xiaoqing hooked her chin, "Yo, little girl, you're still selling Guanzi, tell me now, okay?" ”

"It's not good, it's not good, I'll wait for my brother to come back." After Qiao Yunxia finished speaking, she went into the kitchen to stir-fry, leaving Ye Xiaoqing to guess in distress for a long time and couldn't guess what she had to do.

After thinking about it for a long time, there was only one possibility, so he got up and walked out of the hall and ran towards the crape myrtle tree planted at the root of the wall.

Looking up and seeing a tree of crape myrtle flowers in full bloom, he immediately ran back to the kitchen in ecstasy, "Yunxia, I know what the good news you said, today is your birthday, because the crape myrtle flowers in the yard are blooming." Am I guessing right? ”

Qiao Yunxia was stunned, and then remembered that the day the crape myrtle tree bloomed was her birthday.

Because no one knows exactly what her birth date is, my mother picked her up in mid-July, and it seems that she was already born some days ago.

And the day on her ID card was the day she picked it up, and she never lived on that day, because it was the day she was discarded, and she didn't want to remember it.

is sensible, and when the classmates in the class celebrate their birthdays, the teacher will prepare a cake to celebrate them, which makes her very envious.

That day, she was holding a crape myrtle flower she picked up on the road, crying and telling her brother that she also wanted to celebrate her birthday. My brother came up with a way to plant a crape myrtle tree in the yard, saying that the day the first crape myrtle flower bloomed would be her birthday.

Gradually, watching crape myrtle trees bloom in the early summer morning has become an indispensable habit in her life. After all, it has been nine years now, and the crape myrtle tree has grown higher than the wall.

This year, her mother was seriously ill, and she had no intention of paying attention to whether the flowers were blooming, but it was Ye Xiaoqing who suddenly mentioned it that made her remember.

"It's really open, let's go, go and see." Ye Xiaoqing saw that she didn't seem to believe it, and dragged her out.

Standing under the crape myrtle tree, the purple of a tree is in full bloom, the flowers are clustered, warm and unrestrained, in the summer green leaves, like a purple glow on the horizon.

Qiao Yunxia smiled, "This has just opened, and it has been open for many days." Don't think about it, you'll know when your brother comes back. After that, he pinched the shovel and went back to the kitchen.

Ye Xiaoqing, who was stunned, stayed in place, scratching his ears and cheeks, thinking, "Ah, it's not this good news, what the hell is it." Suddenly, he slapped his face, "There is." Then a gust of wind ran out of Qiao Yunxia's house.

Qiao Yunxia cooked a table of meals, her brother came back, but Ye Xiaoqing, who was still in the yard just now, disappeared.

After helping her brother get out of the car, her brother suddenly came to her with a gift box.

When she opened the box, there was a transparent box containing a cake with a dark purple mp3 Walkman on the side of the cake.

"Happy birthday, sister." Looking at Qiao Yunxia's cheeks flushed with shock, Qiao Baiyu smiled and said with a smile.

This year, my mother is seriously ill, and the crape myrtle flowers in the yard have already bloomed, but my sister's birthday has not yet passed, so he has been remembering it and decided to make up for her today.

Qiao Yunxia put down the box, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and hugged Qiao Baiyu, "Thank you, brother." "Even if she forgets one year, her brother never forgets, and he can always give her all kinds of surprises.

Ye Xiaoqing came back gasping at this time, carrying a big bag and a small bag in his hand, and when he saw Qiao Baiyu, he immediately put away her big grin, became shy, and raised the bag in his hand, "Yun Xia's birthday hasn't passed yet, make up for it today, and I have to celebrate it tonight." ”

When the brother and sister heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, obviously they didn't notify each other of their birthdays, but everyone's actions coincided, and they grew up together since childhood, and they really had a tacit understanding.
