It seems that most young people like to call friends on their birthdays and have a lively and happy play.

Many people call it relaxation.

Finally, there is a reason to indulge yourself in a stressful life.

Have a meal in a restaurant and sing in a nightclub...... In short, how to be happy, usually careful and reluctant to spend money, this day will be round up consumption - but often do not think about it, and spend their birthdays with their families calmly and happily.

Wen Shuo is different from most people's thoughts on birthdays, maybe he has been used to being stingy since he was a child, or he doesn't like this kind of noisy and noisy occasion, right?

He prefers to be with his mother on his birthday.

If the conditions do not allow it, and the mother is not around, then it is not a birthday...... Spending so much money is a waste, and it's not interesting to be young.

In his childhood memories, every year's birthday is that his mother cooks longevity noodles for him to eat in the morning, puts two poached eggs, makes braised pork at noon, and pours the soup of braised pork into the rice.

And in this memory, what is even more heartwarming is that when he eats extremely sweet, his mother accompanies him and watches him eat very sweetly with doting.

Then the little fat man gobbled it up while putting braised pork in his mother's bowl......

Now the family is well-off, but the living habits have unconsciously changed from the original in Dongyun. For example, in Shinonome, lunch is the most sumptuous of the three meals a day, and breakfast and dinner are simple porridge and steamed buns. In the capital, because of the daily busyness, among the three meals a day, dinner has become the most sumptuous meal.

For example, on Wen Shuo's birthday, he didn't cook longevity noodles at all in the morning, and he didn't have time to go to Zhang Luo at noon.

Because everybody is busy.

At seven o'clock, the night finally ended.

Wen Shuo has decided not to go to the online school tonight, and has worked overtime in the company with Skullcap Zhi until now, before driving back to the home where his mother lives in the community.

Skullcap knew the fat man's simple habit of celebrating his birthday, so he didn't mention it to anyone - this is the case in real society, everyone doesn't know, and this matter is over. But if people know about it, but they don't get your invitation......

Well, I always feel uncomfortable.

In particular, if you invite another person but don't invite me, it's more likely to cause misunderstandings.

The little couple returned to the door, took the key directly to open the door, and pushed the door in.

But I saw that the lights in the house were bright, the TV in the living room was playing the news, there was laughter in the kitchen, and the faint smell of food and cigarettes wafted indoors.

Wen Shuo and Skullcap Zhi were particularly surprised, closed the door and walked in.

After passing the entrance, I saw five people sitting in the living room: Li Bin, Zhan Dong, Hu Junhai, Xu Congjun, and Hu Zhiqiang, sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table, chatting while watching the news.

In the kitchen and dining room, Li Qin, Li Xiang, Zheng Yunhong, Feng Chunmei, and Yao Miaomiao were arranging meals......

Get!

Wen Shuo and Skullcap glanced at each other with tears and laughter, and the little couple was still thinking about celebrating their birthday quietly, who would have thought that their mother was so excited that they called their relatives and friends over.

But then, Wen Shuo understood why his mother called all her relatives today.

Now the family members and careers of the three sisters and brothers are all in the capital, and they are usually very busy, Li Qin, her eldest sister and brother-in-law can meet almost every day because of their work, but Li Bin's business is so busy, and the company's headquarters is outside the South Fourth Ring Road, and between the two sisters, they are also in the capital, and there are few opportunities to meet.

Li Qin took the opportunity to celebrate her son's birthday, and the family could get together for a meal in the capital.

"Yo, the birthday boy is back!"

Hu Junhai stood up with a smile in the living room and beckoned: "You are busy every day, okay, what time is it?"

As he spoke, several people all stood up and greeted Wen Shuo.

After smiling at everyone, Skullcap turned around and went to the kitchen to help - it's one thing to help or not, it's another thing to go or not.

In fact, she didn't like this atmosphere in her heart, but she didn't dislike it too much.

Skullcap, who was born in a famous family, is extremely adaptable to anyone, affairs, and environment, even if she doesn't like it, she can accept some things calmly. Some, harmless, and not very harmful.

Wen Shuo walked to the living room with a smile, politely greeted his uncle, aunt, cousin, Xu Congjun, and Zhan Dong, took out a cigarette from his pocket, distributed it, lit one himself, and then walked to the side of the TV wall and took the remote control of the air conditioner, and turned on the ventilation system of the air conditioner to the maximum-these old men have no shy to smoke because of their living habits, but Wen Shuo pays special attention to this small detail.

But when you come back, you will turn on the air conditioner directly, and it will seem like you dislike and blame others for smoking, which is not good.

Therefore, Wen Shuo will be extremely polite, naturally give everyone smoke first, light cigarettes himself, and then turn on the ventilation system of the air conditioner to minimize the situation of smoke in the room. Maybe their mother, aunt, Zheng Yunhong, and even their cousin-in-law Yao Miaomiao won't care, and they can't even think of these problems, but ...... Wen Shuo knows that no one who doesn't smoke likes a smoky indoor environment, especially skullcap.

After chatting with everyone and smiling a few words, he put out the long cigarette butt in the ashtray, Wen Shuo got up and went to the dining room and the kitchen, and politely greeted his aunt and aunt, so he made a greedy appearance, poked his head to look at the sumptuous meal on the table, and said, "Mom, is there braised pork and steamed rice?"

"Yes, you know how good you are!" Li Qin said happily.

Wen Shuo tapped his right hand twice on the dining table, looking like a satisfied child: "I have to eat two more bowls of rice!"

Li Qin explained to everyone with a smile: "In the past, life was tight, and I was usually reluctant to eat something good, every year when Xiaoshuo celebrated his birthday, I made braised pork for him, steamed rice, this child likes to eat braised pork soup mixed with rice, and eat three bowls of rice every time......"

As he spoke, Li Qin's eyes suddenly turned red, and he sighed: "When Shuo was a child, he suffered a lot, alas, his father left early, and I have no ability to be a mother, and I didn't let the child enjoy happiness, so I followed me to suffer, alas." ”

"Second sister, isn't it very good now, don't think about the things that were unhappy before, ah!" Feng Chunmei persuaded: "If you want me to say, it's good to endure hardships in the past, as the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge early, who doesn't know Dongyun, Xiaoshuo is sensible when he is young, obedient, and he works and studies to earn money, so he has today's great profit! Besides, Xiao Shuo, can he still blame you?"

As she spoke, Feng Chunmei gave Wen Shuo a look.

"Yes, yes, my concubine is right!" Wen Shuo nodded and agreed: "Let's not mention the past, ah! Hey, isn't it time to eat?" I'm hungry!"

"Open the meal...... Celebrate the child's birthday today, what are you doing with the previous things, and the smoke rings are all red!" Li Xiang blamed her sister, and then greeted the living room: "Zhiqiang, clean up the coffee table, there are many people today, set up two tables, one table for men and women, and you old men will drink and chat in the living room." ”

"Hey, okay!"

Hu Zhiqiang agreed, and several old men cleaned up the coffee table together, and moved small stools around the coffee table.

Soon, the coffee table in the living room and the dining room table were full of sumptuous dishes.

Li Qin, who knows his son quite well, has noticed that his son has turned on the air conditioner before, and deliberately opened the doors and windows of each room to make it easier to ventilate.

"Come, first wish Shuo Boy a happy birthday, everyone together!"

Li Bin stood up with his wine glass and shouted.

Everyone at the two tables in the living room and dining room stood up and said with a smile and wishing Wen Shuo a happy birthday...... Wen Shuo hurriedly thanked everyone and drank the wine in his cup.

Cigarette is the soft-packed China;

Liquor is Moutai.

Wen Shuo, who has never been so lively for his birthday, after a glass of wine, he thought of his mother's slightly out of shape just now, and his heart suddenly felt a little sour - thinking about the time he was in Dongyun, and then thinking about everything he had experienced in the past four years in Beijing......

It's not easy!

Wen Shuo couldn't hold back what he wanted to say, and he didn't know what to say, he waved his hand and invited everyone to sit down, and filled the table with his cousin with empty wine glasses, but he didn't sit down, took the cup and signaled to everyone, and said with a smile: "Since I was a child, my birthday has not been so lively, my mother raised me not easily, as the saying goes, children's birthdays, mother's hard days...... So today, um, thank my mom, it might be a bit hypocritical to say this, but I still have to say it!"

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at his mother, raised his glass and said, "Mom, these you, you have worked hard!"

With that, he drank his glass of wine and his eyes moistened.

"Silly boy, happy birthday, what are you talking about?" Li Qin wiped her tears and complained with a smile.

"Come on, come on, sit down and drink, the hard days in the past are also a fortune!" Xu Congjun smiled and pulled Wen Shuo to sit down, and said, "Then, don't mention anything else today, ah! Everyone is happy, come, meet with uncle!"

Wen Shuo nodded with a smile and touched a glass with Xu Congjun.

It was just a small episode, and it didn't affect the happy atmosphere tonight, and everyone ate and drank and chatted happily.

When the wine was hot, Hu Zhiqiang, who was a little drunk, suddenly said: "Oh yes, I have a sound...... Hu Zhiqiang glanced at the restaurant, and found that the table had been finished and was cleaning up, he leaned over and whispered, "When my aunt and I went to the farmers' market today, guess who you saw?"

"Who?" Wen Shuo asked, rather surprised.

"I don't recognize it, but my aunt chased after the man and questioned him, saying what Boss Chi ......" Hu Zhiqiang whispered: "That person didn't admit it, saying that the old aunt recognized the wrong person, and there were several people next to him to help, and the old aunt didn't pursue it further, so I asked the old aunt, who is the boss Chi, and the old aunt didn't say, hey, have you heard of the boss surnamed Chi?"

Wen Shuo's brows suddenly twisted into a pimple, and he immediately let go, smiling and shaking his head: "I haven't heard of it, probably I really recognized the wrong person." ”

"Oh. ”

Li Bin and Hu Junhai listened to this conversation, opened their mouths to say something, hesitated to glance at each other, shook their heads at each other and did not squeak.
