"Mom, did you see the courier box on my desk?" Tang Xiaoxu had just combed her ponytail and changed into the jeans and denim half-sleeves she was going to wear when she went out, but found that the express delivery that was placed on the desk last night was gone.

"That courier box, I lost it in the warehouse downstairs when I cleaned it up just now." A middle-aged woman with an apron tied around her waist and a mop was standing at the door of Tang Xiaoxu's room at the moment.

Mom never checked if there was anything in it before throwing away the waste, and the necklace was so light that no matter who didn't open it, it would probably think it was an empty box! Tang Xiaoxu hurriedly ran downstairs into the warehouse, rummaged through the many cardboard boxes, and finally turned to the express box with Tang Xiaoxu written on it, which was the 18th birthday gift she customized for her best friend Xia Ning.

After a while, Tang Xiaoxu had to put the overturned carton back in place neatly. As she was leaving, she suddenly noticed a bicycle in the corner with a wheel, a thick layer of ash on it, and even a spider's web.

Tang Xiaoxu went upstairs to change into a pair of canvas shoes, and asked casually: "Mom, the bicycle that my brother broke hasn't been sold yet?" ”

"I can't sell it for a few bucks, so let's put it there! By the way, your brother asked me to remind him not to forget what you did, what are you brothers and sisters hiding from me? ”

"This is my brother's secret, Mom, are the nutrient soil and tools in this pink gift box at the door?"

The impatient voice of a middle-aged woman came from the house: "Yes, go early and return early." ”

Tang Xiaoxu took off his bag on the clothes hanging at the door and put it on his body, put the necklace in the bag, picked up the pink gift box in front of the door and went out: "Mom, I'm leaving." ”

Tang Xiaoyi is Tang Xiaoxu's elder brother, two years older than Tang Xiaoxu, and after graduating from high school, he argued that he didn't study, saying that he had found a reliable job, but his parents strongly opposed it at the time. During the year and a half that he ran away from home, he would send money home every two months, 10,000 yuan at a time, but he just wouldn't go home.

Both parents suspected that Tang Xiaoyi was doing something unseemly, and Tang Xiaoxu had always believed that her brother would not. A person who always thinks about his family, and when he encounters injustices on the street, he will see what bad things will be done by people who act bravely, and that bicycle is Tang Xiaoyi who went out for a walk one night and broke it bravely. When he came back that night, there was a big hole in the knee of his trousers, which he had been looking at for a long time before he had made up his mind to buy them with his pocket money, and had been depressed for a long time after he had done so in less than two days.

As I walked, the words "Arctic Cold Drink Hall" appeared in front of me. Tang Xiaoxu walked in, and saw Yin Keer waving to herself, Xia Ning was sitting next to her, Yin Keer was Tang Xiaoxu's other best friend, plus Xia Ning, the three of them were almost inseparable at school, Tang Xiaoxu sat down in an empty position: "Why don't you order something?" ”

Yin Ke'er said: "Xia Ning has to wait for you to come and order together." ”

Tang Xiaoxu opened her phone and saw that it was not yet eight o'clock, and the two of them came early enough to call: "Waiter." ”

A young lady with dyed blond hair walked over: "What do you want three of you?" He skillfully placed the list on the table.

Yin Ke'er said: "Xia Ning, today you are the protagonist, you can eat whatever you want." ”

Xia Ning glanced at the menu and said, "Let's have a fruit salvage, a piece of French fries, spicy chicken steak, three Orleans chicken wings, and sperm coconut milk, I'm done, you two can order it!" ”

"I remember you said you wanted to try a steak, and today you will be willful on your birthday, and you will have another steak." Tang Xiaoxu asked for another cup of milk tea, ordered some fried skewers, saw that it was almost there, and gave the order to Yin Keer. After all, there is still something to arrive in a while, and I can't eat too much to order. Tang Xiaoxu secretly sent a message to Yin Keer: What time will it be?

Of course, Yin Keer knew what Tang Xiaoxu was asking, and returned: Half past eight.

After a while, Yin Keer handed the express box beside her to Xia Ning: "Guess what's inside?" ”

Xia Ning shook his head: "I don't know." ”

The two asked her to open it, and Xia Ning opened it to see that it was the bear doll she had seen last time. was so happy that he couldn't speak, Tang Xiaoxu also took out the necklace from his bag, this is the same style as the Internet celebrity, and the bead in the middle can reflect the photos of the three of them under the sun.

Xia Ning took the necklace and said, "Thank you, it's good to have you." ”

Yin Keer said: "It's good that we have you!" That way, with the bear by your side, you won't be alone at home. ”

Both of them knew that Xia Ning's family situation was not very good, her parents always quarreled, and they divorced, and Yin Keer deliberately avoided words that made Xia Ning unhappy.

Tang Xiaoxu was afraid that the topic would guide Xia Ning's parents, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "By the way, Xia Ning, do you see if this is the nutrient soil you said, I specially asked my father to bring it back, and there are some gadgets like watering cans, small scissors, and insecticides, I haven't raised flowers, and I don't know if you can use them." ”

"These tools are too complete, this time I can take better care of Xiaoting, Xiaoxu, I love you so much." Xiaoting is a pot of Junzi orchid raised by Xia Ning, which was given to her by Xia Ning's father when Xia Ning was ten years old. This has been raised for eight years, and recently it was discovered that its leaves were yellow, which made Xia Ning anxious, and Tang Xiaoxu and Yin Keer have been helping her find a way.

Now it depends on whether this so-called nutrient soil has any effect.

Fruit salad, chicken steak and other foods were served on the table one after another, and the three of them began to move their forks. Soon, the cake ordered by Yin Keer also arrived, and the two set up candles for Xia Ning, waited for Xia Ning to make a wish, and then ate the cake together.

"Xia Ning, are you happy today?" Tang Xiaoxu asked with a smile.

Xia Ning said: "Happy, it's really happy to have the two of you with you!" ”

Tang Xiaoxu said: "That's good, I'll go to the checkout first, and the two of you will eat the remaining three skewers." ”

Xia Ning also got up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Yin Ke'er pressed Xia Ning down and said, "You don't have to worry about the payment, Xiaoxu, tell me how much it is, and I'll share it with you." Xia Ning, you can stay here and eat skewers when you are old! ”

Tang Xiaoxu said: "Okay." "Walked to the cash register.

Xia Ning's face was full of grievances: "I really can't eat it." ”

The three of them walked out of the Arctic cold drink hall, and Yin Keer stopped Tang Xiaoxu: "Is there any news from your brother recently?" ”

Oops, I almost forgot about it! Tang Xiaoxu took out a small square box from her bag: "This is the letter that my brother asked me to give you." ”

Yin Keer opened the box and saw that it was a DR diamond ring.

Tang Xiaoxu said: "When he takes care of everything, this is the promise he wants to fulfill to you." ”

Yin Keer put away the ring box: "Then why didn't he tell me directly, what kind of work is he doing?" ”

"When I see him, I'll help you interrogate him properly." What Tang Xiaoyi is doing, Tang Xiaoxu doesn't know.
