Chapter 225, birthday
"Here, eat." On Zhou Xing's dinner plate lay four roasted duck legs domineeringly. He asked someone to cut up two duck legs and asked for half of the duck meat. meat, with a few green vegetables under it.
Looking at the row of meat on Zhou Xing's dinner plate, Qiao Minglang was already used to it.
The two of them had eaten together for so long, and he knew that this person liked to eat meat, and he would come back with a big plate of meat every day.It was also from this semester that the school opened a window to add food, and they only had food added.
Zhou Xing put a roasted duck leg on the boy's dinner plate, and put a roasted duck leg on each of the two cousins' bowls, "Cousin, come, you guys have a duck leg too."
"No, no, you can eat what you want." Qiao Mingshan saw an extra roasted duck leg on the dinner plate, and wanted to return it to Zhou Xing.
"I still have so much here, you eat, I have more here." Zhou Xing waved his hand, refusing to come back, and continued to put meat on Qiao Minglang's dinner plate, asking him to eat more meat.
"That's enough, don't pick it up for me." Qiao Minglang ordered the vegetables himself, and this person even picked up so much meat for him at one point.Seeing the extra meat on the dinner plate, he took some of his vegetables to Zhou Xing.
Looking at the extra vegetables on the dinner plate, Zhou Xing was smiling, and the vegetables his wife put in had to be eaten even if he was crying.
After everyone had eaten, they sent the two cousins to the back gate of the school.
"We're going back. You guys are in school. Study hard." Qiao Mingshan came to the parents' meeting of his little cousin today, and only then did he know that the two boys were the first in the whole grade and the second in the whole grade. He knew them My child's grades in reading are good, although this time he only got second in the whole grade, but it's not bad.
Zhou Xing often came in and out of their store, everyone was familiar with him, Qiao Mingshan also treated him like his younger brother.
"Cousin, we will, don't worry." Zhou Xingying said.
Seeing the two cousins leave, the two turned around and walked back, walking slowly along the tree-lined path.
The sun in the west is about to set, and there is still a faint afterglow left.
The nights in summer are slow, and when they study by themselves at night, the sky outside is still bright.
At this time, there was still half an hour before evening self-study, and the two of them went to the dormitory to take a shower.After they took a bath, Chen Junfei also hurried back from outside to take a bath. Of the four people in their dormitory, Tong Guan was the only one who hadn't come back yet. I wonder if he went out with his family.
It was almost time for evening self-study, so the three of them left the dormitory, closed the door of the dormitory, and went to the classroom for evening self-study.
That night, Tong Guan didn't come back to the dormitory, but returned to the classroom for the morning reading class the next day.
Chen Junfei, who was sitting in the back, noticed the young boy sitting in the front seat, so he let go of his worries, and took out the Chinese textbook from the textbooks in the table to read.
This year, they are only teenagers, and they don't know where the future will go.
An opportunity before them is to study hard and get admitted to a good university to study, and they may be able to achieve something in the future.
***
After the summer solstice, the weather in Jiangcheng became hotter day by day.
The small dormitory they live in is a small place separated by stairs. There are four people living in the dormitory, just a small rotating fan.Since the weather got hot, he woke up several times every night when he went to bed and traveled around. He is a person who is born with a constitution that is afraid of heat, and what he dislikes the most is spending summer.
After finally making it to Friday's holiday, Zhou Xing packed up his things immediately, and took Qiao Minglang back to his house over there.
After eating that night, he took out a small cake that he had prepared in advance and placed it in front of the boy.Seeing that the young man was still in a daze and didn't react, Zhou Xing raised his hand to his forehead, and couldn't help but smiled and asked, "Did you forget what day it is today?"
Um?what day?Qiao Minglang really didn't know what day it was.
"Little idiot, today is your birthday, why don't you remember your own birthday?" Zhou Xing was the class monitor, and he was responsible for registering the information of everyone in his class. At that time, he took a look and remembered Qiao Minglang birthday.
Is it his birthday?Qiao Minglang was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the boy seemed to be born in Xia Tian.
In my impression, when the boy's parents were still there, every year on the boy's birthday, that woman would cook a bowl of noodles for the boy.
In his previous life, he was an orphan. The old man picked him up to raise him. Later, the old man took the day he picked him up as his birthday. In fact, according to the time, he was probably born in summer, but he doesn't know the exact date. That's all.
When the old man was still there, whenever he was born, the old man would prepare a small thing for him, sometimes it was a bunch of candied haws, sometimes it was a few pieces of caramel, and sometimes the old man gave him his own hands. A grasshopper stuck in...
But since the old peddler passed away, no one mentioned celebrating his birthday again.
Qiao Minglang himself also forgot about such a thing, and he himself never thought about his birthday, because every time that day came, he would think of the old peddler who had left, and as time passed, he himself forgot about that day.
Only on the death day of the old peddler every year, no matter how far away he was, he would try his best to go back and burn some incense and silver treasures for the old peddler.
"What are you thinking about? Come here and put in candles, make a wish, let's eat cake." I don't know what the young man was thinking as he stood here in a daze, Zhou Xing held the cake in one hand, grabbed the young man's hand with the other, and He walked over to the sofa and put the cake in his hand on the table.
Pull out the candles and plug them in. It doesn't matter how many candles are plugged in, as long as they are full, it will do.
"Where's the lighter?" I haven't smoked for so long that I even forgot where I put the lighter.
Opening a small drawer under the TV cabinet, Zhou Xing dug out a lighter from inside, tried it twice, it was okay, it was still usable.
Light all the candles with a lighter.
"Wait, I'm going to turn off the light." Zhou Xingcai remembered that the light was on, so he ran over to turn off the light.When he came back, he saw the young man staring at the flame of the candle. He pushed the young man's shoulder with his hand, and said happily, "I can make three wishes. But it's your birthday today, and you can make a few more if you want." of."
Master Zhou is really casual...
A small cake with many candles on it, the fire is jumping and twinkling.
The candlelight shone on their faces, Qiao Minglang turned his head to look at Zhou Xing, his eyes fell on Zhou Xing's smiling face, he closed his eyes, and made a wish.
"Did you make any wish? Why didn't you tell me?" Zhou Xing was curious about what Qiao Minglang made, and asked, "Isn't it possible to make three wishes? Why did you just make one?"
"One is enough." Qiao Minglang pursed his lips, feeling that people shouldn't be so greedy.
"Won't you tell me?" Zhou Xing didn't give up and asked again.
Seeing that the boy really refused to tell him, Zhou Xingcai really gave up.
Seeing that the candle was about to burn to the end, the two quickly blew out the candle and pulled out the candle above it.
With a little cream on his hand, Zhou Xing deliberately rubbed it on the boy's face, laughing out of joy, "Hahaha..."
"..." Qiao Minglang.
The lights in the living room were turned back on, and the lights in the house came on.
The two cut the cake, and Qiao Minglang ate the cake for the first time. There was soft and sweet cream on the top, a layer of black chocolate on top, jam inside, and a layer of soft bread underneath.
"Is it delicious?" Zhou Xing actually doesn't like to eat this kind of food very much. Since he was a child, someone would buy him a cake for his birthday every year. In the past, his family would buy it, but later his friends would buy it for him. There was no shortage of cake.
It's just that when he grew up a little later, he didn't love birthdays so much.
At most, when it comes to his birthday, a group of friends will go out to play.
But seeing Qiao Minglang eating seriously, he felt that today's cake might be more delicious than the previous one?
"Mmm, it's delicious." Qiao Minglang thought that next time the children at home had their birthdays, he could also buy such a cake for them to try.
Or maybe take one of these cakes for the kids the next time they come home?
But it seems that this thing is only eaten on birthdays.
"Really? I think mine is different from yours. Let me taste yours." Zhou Xing had been coveting the cake in the boy's hand for a long time. He grabbed the boy's hand and bit it He put the cake on the spoon, nodded, with a big smile on his face, and said: "Well, it's not bad, it's better than mine."
"..." Qiao Minglang looked at the missing cake on the spoon, then at the almost untouched piece of cake in Zhou Xing's hand, then at the remaining cakes on the table, and finally ate his own cake silently. speak.
Anyway, there are so many, one less is one less.
"Would you like to eat mine, this piece of mine is delicious too." Zhou Xing himself didn't want to eat the cake, so he put a spoon into the cake and was about to put it into the boy's mouth.
"Stop making trouble!" Qiao Minglang patted the man's hand away, but Zhou Xing still fed a piece of cake into his mouth.
Zhou Xing was not one who wanted to eat cakes at all, and later he even got cream on the boy's face, and the two had a quarrel on the sofa.
But Qiao Minglang still remembered that he couldn't put these things on the sofa, so he raised his face, not daring to put his face on the side of the sofa.
In the end, Qiao Minglang was undoubtedly the one who was suppressed under the circumstances of the disparity in power.
The two fell on the sofa, Zhou Xing looked at the boy's face which he had put cream on, his eyes fell on the boy's lips, his throat rolled unconsciously, he lowered his head, he kissed the boy's lips, not caring about himself There was cream on his face.
But in the end they put cream on the sofa.
After the two of them had finished arguing, Zhou Xing obediently cleaned up the sofa under the command of his wife.
The rest of the cake was not finished, Qiao Minglang put the cake in the refrigerator and kept it in the refrigerator, so he could continue to eat it when he got up the next day...
