As usual, Jiang Chen and Zhang Chunxi didn't get home until 10 p.m., and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a beautifully packaged birthday cake box on the dining table.

Zhang Chunxi shouted, "Yo, where did you get the birthday cake?" Sister Yao, have you lived? ”

Jiang Yao ran out of the room, "It's not me, it's my sister's life, and she asked Uncle Hai to send the cake, saying that she invited us to eat." ”

Hearing that today was Ruan Qingqing's birthday, Jiang Chen subconsciously glanced at the calendar paintings posted on the wall, which were the leftovers printed by Ruan Dahai's garment factory to send to customers.

On September 17, it turned out that her birthday was three days different from his.

Just as he was thinking, there was suddenly a white envelope the size of a book in his eyes.

"Brother, Uncle Hai gave it to you."

"What the hell?" Zhang Chunxi came over curiously.

Jiang Chen was also curious, and as soon as he opened the envelope, a pleasant fragrance suddenly wafted from the envelope.

Zhang Chunxi sighed with emotion, "Fragrant!" ”

Taking out the contents of the envelope, it was a beautifully printed birthday card, and when the card was opened, a melodious electronic sound of happy birthday echoed in the living room, and the snow-white pages were written with blessings.

- Happy birthday, I wish you all the best, all your wishes come true!

Signed: Ruan lightly.

A few short words, but like a flame, Jiang Chen's chest was hot.

Zhang Chunxi wondered, "Mouse, didn't you just live on the 20th?" Why is my sister sending you a greeting card today? ”

Jiang Yao explained, "Uncle Hai said that he was afraid that he would forget, so he gave it to his brother first." ”

Zhang Chunxi looked at the birthday card in his brother's hand, and felt a little sour, "Why didn't my sister send me a greeting card?" ”

Jiang Yao also showed an envious expression, "It's not like my sister didn't send me in my life." ”

Jiang Chen's heart was already happy, but when he heard the sour words of the two, he was even happier in his heart.

She only sent him a greeting card, does it mean that he is special in her heart?

A six-inch small cake is just right for four people.

Jiang Yao, who had eaten the birthday cake for the first time, danced happily, "Mom, the cake is so sweet, so delicious, this layer on the outside is like ice cream, and it melts when you sip it." ”

Zhang Chunxi had eaten a few more years than Jiang Yao, and said with a smile, "Ha poke poke, this is called cream, you know no." ”

"What kind of oil is cream?"

"That's it...... Cream is just a sprinkle of cream. ”

Lin Ronghua, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke, "The cream is made of milk. ”

Jiang Yao looked at Lin Ronghua curiously, "Mom, how do you know?" ”

Lin Ronghua didn't answer, and turned his head to avoid the cake that Jiang Chen fed to his mouth, "Er, you said to eat, I won't eat it, I'm a little tired." ”

Jiang Chen put down the cake and picked up the cup to feed Lin Ronghua water.

After drinking the water, Lin Ronghua urged Jiang Chen to eat the cake again, "This can't be left overnight, it will be bad overnight, you eat it all, don't waste Ruan Mei'er's mind." ”

After eating the cake, Zhang Chunxi went to the next room to rest, Jiang Yao brushed her teeth in the toilet, and Lin Ronghua took Jiang Chen's hand with a pleased smile in her eyes.

"I'm about to be a year older, and I'm getting more and more handsome."

Jiang Chen tugged at his lips, in response.

"Son, do you still have any money?"

Lin Ronghua never asked about money, and when he asked at first glance, Jiang Chen was surprised but still nodded.

"A little."

"Then you go to the street tomorrow to take a look, buy something for Ruan Mei'er, people invite you, and you have to ask back, this is a courtesy."

"yes, I see."

The night was dark, Zhang Chunxi in the next bed was snoring like thunder, sleeping like a dead dog, Jiang Chen couldn't sleep when he tossed and turned in his single bed.

Except for his own mother and sister, he has never bought anything for anyone else, let alone given gifts to girls.

What should I buy for her?

He can't afford something that's too expensive, and something that's too cheap doesn't deserve her.

She seemed to like to wear skirts very much, and she looked good, and he had never seen a girl who looked better than her in skirts.

"Mouse, let's go, you've been staring at something, and you can't afford it anymore."

Seeing Jiang Chen parking his tricycle in front of a clothing store, staring at the light green pleated skirt on the fake model in the window, Zhang Chunxi couldn't help but urge.

This clothing store is newly opened, and the clothes sold in it are all fashionable goods from Shanghai and Hong Kong City, which are good-looking and good-looking, but the price is amazingly expensive.

Any piece of clothing is the salary of an ordinary person for a month or even a few months.

It's a luxury that poor people like them can't even think of.

However, at the urging of Zhang Chunxi, instead of riding away, Jiang Chen jumped off the tricycle and went straight to the clothing store.

Zhang Chunxi wanted to catch up but was afraid that the goods would be stolen, so he could only guard the tricycle and be in a hurry.

"That's a lot of money?"

The salesman looked Jiang Chen up and down, and his attitude was lukewarm, "188, don't bargain." ”

Seeing Jiang Chen coming out of the clothing store empty-handed, Zhang Chunxi couldn't help but quip, "Was he kicked out by others?" I told you that you can't afford it, and you still don't believe it, but now your head hits the wall, you know that it hurts, right? ”

Jiang Chen didn't say a word, got on the tricycle and left.

Zhang Chunxi asked curiously, "Do you want a lot of money?" ”

“188。”

"I'm R, what's the rotten clothes? A sprinkle of gold? ”

"I don't think you want to think about it, just buy a pen or notebook and give it to my sister."

In response to Zhang Chunxi, it was Jiang Chen's silent back and the sound of the wind whirring.

When he went home from work in the evening, Zhang Chunxi took out the account book to calculate the account for this time, and when Jiang Chen finished serving Lin Ronghua and returned to the room after taking a shower, he had already settled the account clearly.

"In addition to the money handed over to the factory, as well as the wages given to Master Ma, we have made a net profit of two hundred and one during this time, and in addition to the money for buying iron cabinets, there is one hundred and ninety-five, and we can get ninety-seven yuan and five yuan in equal shares."

"It's still a quick business to make money, and I earn almost a hundred in half a month." Zhang Chunxi was a little excited.

Jiang Chen opened the iron cabinet containing money, counted ninety-eight and handed it to Zhang Chunxi.

Zhang Chunxi took the money, took four yuan, and threw the remaining ninety-four yuan back on Jiang Chen's bed.

"You take the money, go buy the dress tomorrow, and I'll give my sister a birthday gift with you."

Jiang Chen picked up the money and threw it back on Zhang Chunxi's bed, "No." ”

Zhang Chunxi glared at him, "What do you mean?" ”

"You have to give it to each of you to buy, and I won't buy it with you."

Zhang Chunxi looked at him for a while, put away the money on the bed and put it under the pillow, fell asleep upside down, and turned over, lying facing the wall, leaving Jiang Chen with a back.

Jiang Chen didn't speak, lying flat on the bed, his dark eyes looking at the stone gray ceiling above his head.

Silence and embarrassment crept between the brothers.

This is the first time that the two have been unhappy.

On the surface, it was because of a gift, but in fact, both of them knew in their hearts what the root knot was.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Chunxi shouted.

"Mouse."

"Hmm."

Zhang Chunxi, who received Jiang Chen's response, turned over and sat up from the bed, took out the money under the pillow, and handed it to him.

"When I lent it to you."

Jiang Chen lay on the bed, tilting his head to look at him fixedly.

"Look at a hammer, do you want it? Don't use it tomorrow! ”

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to take the money and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Both are well aware that this thank you is not just because of the money.

Love is precious, friendship is more valuable, and to be a brother is to be a lifelong brother.

Under the dim light, Zhang Chunxi hid the water under his eyes, and scolded with a casual smile: "Thank you, remember to pay back Lao Tzu, and add interest." ”

"Hmm."

"I'll go and buy the dress tomorrow, so that no one else will sell it."

"Hmm."

"Do you know if my sister wears a big size?"

"Yes."

"How do you know?"

"I guess."

“…… You give Lao Tzu a climb. ”

Asking for tickets, I haven't asked for tickets recently, you all forgot, huh......
