Lin Ji, who had worked for a day, could finally return home to have a good rest, looking at the calendar on the table, it was already July 15, and she felt a sense of melancholy inexplicably.

"This year's birthday seems to be destined to be spent alone." Lin Ji took out the birthday cake by herself, and was about to cut it with a knife, but stopped.

The figure of a small meat dumpling came to mind, "In the future, every day for dinner, my father hopes to eat it with Sister Lin." This is what Zhou Xiaohua said at that time.

Looking at the watch, it's only six o'clock in the evening, and I think I haven't eaten at Zhou's house next door.

Thinking about it, Lin Ji repacked the cake, and then went to the next door with it.

"Xiaohua, Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Xiaohua ran out when she heard the voice: "Sister Lin, my father hasn't come back yet." ”

Lin Ji suddenly walked over: "Didn't come back?" It's this time, he shouldn't have come back yet, so have you eaten? ”

It's darkened this day, where did Zhou Dasheng go, why hasn't he gone home yet, Lin Ji took Zhou Xiaohua's hand and entered the house.

"I don't know, it's Li Ermao who brought a message, saying that the village chief told him to go and say something, and he never came back after he went." Zhou Xiaohua looked at Lin Ji with her little finger and said.

When Lin Ji heard this, she was also relieved, and it shouldn't happen if she was called by the village chief, maybe it was a matter in the village.

"Is Xiaohua hungry?" Lin Ji suddenly, holding Xiaohua's face mysteriously and smiling.

Zhou Xiaohua subconsciously shook her head, but her stomach came to dismantle the stage at this time.

Grunt... Gollum, suddenly the little girl's face turned red, looking at Lin Ji's deeper and deeper smile, and nodded: "I'm a little hungry." ”

Lin Ji stroked her hair and said, "It seems that this year's birthday is destined to let you, a little girl, spend it with me." ”

Suddenly, Zhou Xiaohua's eyes widened, "Sister, today is your birthday?" I found out that I hadn't known Lin Ji for so long and didn't know her birthday.

"Yes, originally, I wanted to live alone, but I remember that a little girl said that she would have to eat with me every night in the future, I don't know if it counts?" Lin Ji touched Zhou Xiaohua's little face with a smile and said.

Zhou Xiaohua suddenly frowned, and said embarrassedly to her fingers: "But sister, I didn't prepare your birthday gift." ”

Lin Ji was happy when she saw it: "What are you afraid of, isn't there your own pistachio?" As long as you accompany me to be happy, isn't it the best gift for me? As she spoke, she gently tapped Zhou Xiaohua's nose.

Zhou Xiaohua immediately smiled happily: "Sister Lin is the best." ”

Lin Jiao opened the cake with a smile, because Xiaohua was hungry, so she didn't plan to wait for Zhou Dasheng to come back and eat, the cake was cut into pieces, and Zhou Xiaohua was already eyeing it.

"Take it, don't get your clothes dirty, you know?" Lin Ji put a piece of it on a small plate, handed it to Xiaohua and said.

Zhou Xiaohua put the cream in her mouth, and suddenly squinted her eyes deliciously, like a little fox enjoying food, which made Lin Ji feel good.

In this way, Lin Ji ate a little cake to cushion her stomach, and left the rest for Zhou Xiaohua to eat, it was completely dark, but Zhou Dasheng still didn't come back, which made her wonder.

Lin Ji looked at her watch, it was already eight o'clock, what had not been done for two hours?

Zhou Xiaohua was already sleepy, her little hands kept rubbing her eyes, and she looked at the door from time to time, why didn't Daddy come back?

"Xiaohua, go to sleep when you're sleepy, my sister is here with you, and I'll leave when your father comes back." Lin Ji knew at a glance that this girl didn't dare to sleep, so she hugged Xiaohua in her arms and said.

"Then sister, I'll sleep for a while, and when my dad comes back, he must wake me up." Zhou Xiaohua was lying in Lin Ji's arms, and suddenly became even more sleepy, so she said.

Lin Ji smiled, "Okay, I'll wake you up when your father comes back." She patted Xiaohua's back little by little and said.

Xiaohua fell asleep after a while, and Lin Ji was also a little drowsy.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Zhou Dasheng finally went home, but his eyebrows were worried, his brows were tightly locked, and what the village chief said made him uncomfortable to listen to.

He didn't want to take care of the Wang family's affairs.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Dasheng was stunned.

Lin Ji sat on the edge of the bed with Zhou Xiaohua in her arms, Xiaohua was already asleep, and her body was also leaning against the wall, her eyes closed and motionless, obviously asleep.

The soft light shone on her face, making people feel in a trance, and Zhou Dasheng felt that the years were quiet and he couldn't bear to disturb him.

But he still walked over, took Zhou Xiaohua out of Lin Ji's arms, laid her flat on the bed, hesitated when he looked at Lin Ji, and finally put her next to Zhou Xiaohua.

Seeing the two lying side by side, Zhou Dasheng looked at Lin Ji's face with gentle and nostalgic eyes, and finally turned around and prepared to go to the Westinghouse to rest, but when he saw the remaining birthday cake on the table, his eyes paused slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A rooster crowed in the early morning, and when the sky was bright, Lin Ji finally woke up leisurely and looked at Zhou Xiaohua, who was still sleeping sweetly next to her, why didn't she remember how she lay down on the bed?

When I walked out of the house, I said, "You're back." As soon as the words came out, Lin Ji was stunned, why did this sound so strange?

Zhou Dasheng set the dishes and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Go wash your hands and prepare for dinner, you have to go to work in a while." ”

His eyes fell on Lin Ji, which always made her feel that there was something in her eyes that she couldn't understand, but she couldn't ask, so she finally forgot it.

"By the way, when did you come back last night?" Lin Ji didn't know how long she had waited, and finally she couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep instinctively.

"I came back in the middle of the night, and you were asleep." Zhou Dasheng explained while serving her rice.

Lin Ji suddenly thought, isn't it Zhou Dasheng who put her on the bed? Suddenly I felt so embarrassed.

"I'm full, so I'll go first." After eating in a hurry, Lin Ji was about to run.

"Wait a minute." Zhou Dasheng quickly stopped her.

Lin Ji looked back in confusion: "What's wrong?" ”

"Happy birthday." Zhou Dasheng took out a set of paintbrushes, which he looked at the new one, he looked at Lin Ji with a smile, and his eyes were gentle and indulgent.

"When, when did you buy it?" In this era, this kind of thing is very expensive, and he only came back in the middle of the night last night, Lin Ji can't imagine when he bought it.
