Xiao Rongyu came out of the dormitory with a pink mini satchel on his shoulder, but Guazi's face was full of loneliness. After seeing Xiao Hongwei, he just called out softly: "Dad."
Lao Xiao frowned tightly together: "Daughter, are you in a bad mood?"
Xiao Yuer shook his head, opened the passenger door, and sat down without saying a word. Go up.
At this time, there was a beam of light coming from behind and the sound of a vehicle horn. Xiao Rongyu's eyes lit up, his curved eyebrows twitched, and he turned around expectantly.
But after discovering that it was just a school bus, Xiao Rongyu's flawless face was instantly filled with disappointment.
The obvious transformation between joy and disappointment made Lao Xiao feel distressed.
"What's wrong, daughter?"
Old Xiao asked again, and reached out to touch Xiao Yu'er's forehead. Now that winter and spring are changing, people are most likely to catch a cold. , but my daughter doesn’t have a fever either.
Xiao Rongyu didn't say anything, but turned sideways and curled up on the passenger seat. Only when there was a car horn sound from behind, she would take a second look, and then she would continue to be disappointed.
This state continued until they got on the Jiangang Expressway, and Xiaoyuer was still looking at the brightly lit Jianye City reluctantly.
Old Xiao was nagging and comforting along the way. Xiao Rongyu simply answered, until Old Xiao unconsciously asked: "When will Han Sheng return to Hong Kong City? Today is the 16th."
Xiao Rongyu’s attention was clearly focused.
"He has been busy recently."
Xiao Yu'er glanced at Lao Xiao and said hesitantly: "Dad, actually this birthday has no meaning. Instead, it reminds me that I am old again." One year old, actually I didn’t think about it at all.”
“It’s meaningless. The 20th birthday is a major event in life. The ancients would give a crown ceremony at this age to indicate that they have reached adulthood. ·····"
Xiao Hongwei gave a ridiculous explanation, but it was also a bit strange: "Aren't you looking forward to your 20th birthday during the Spring Festival?"
"That's if everyone I’m very busy, so there’s no need to come, and it’s important not to look at it.”
Xiao Yu’er was a little angry.
"Okay, okay, it's not important. Dad apologizes. Dad said the wrong thing."
Lao Xiao, the "daughter slave", immediately gave up. Although he was in a port city outside, The deputy director of the Public Security Bureau is still in charge of criminal investigation work, but in front of my daughter, there is no principle in holding a concurrent job.
"Actually, relatives at home set up a few tables, as well as some colleagues of my parents. In the past, when other people's children turned 20, we gave out a lot of money, and we will definitely get it back this year."
p>Lao Xiao deliberately made it interesting, hoping to arouse his daughter's emotions.
"Oh, by the way."
At the end, he added with a smile: "And your Uncle Chen's family, they are not outsiders."
Xiao Yu'er stopped talking, just hugged his calf and rested his face on his knees.
The highway outside was dark and there were not many vehicles at night. For a long time, only this Santana was driving, it was empty and lonely.
As he watched, Xiao Rongyu's nose suddenly became sore, and crystal tears rolled in his eyes for no apparent reason.
Because until this moment, she was still helping Chen Hansheng prepare the ground, so that his parents would not complain if Chen Hansheng was not seen at the birthday party the day after tomorrow.
"Xiao Chen, you still forgot my birthday."
Xiao Rongyu blinked his long eyelashes, and tears quietly flowed down the corners of his eyes.
·······
Back at home in Hong Kong City, Lu Yuqing naturally hugged and kissed her daughter, but she also noticed that Xiao Rongyu seemed unhappy.
"What's wrong with my daughter?"
Lv Yuqing asked Xiao Hongwei quietly.
"Maybe I'm too tired."
Xiao Hongwei thought for a while and said.
Lu Yuqing nodded, it could only be for this reason, otherwise how could the always lively Xiao Yuer be so negative before his birthday.
But after taking a bath at night, Xiao Yuer, wearing cute pajamas, suddenly walked up to Lu Yuqing: "Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight."
"Huh? Okay? "Yeah!"
Lu Yuqing was surprised at first, and then agreed in surprise.
Xiao Rongyu has had her own independent bedroom since she was 10 years old. However, sometimes when she does not do well in exams, or gets angry with her classmates because of quarrels, or in short, when she is depressed, she has to stay with her mother. sleep.
Lv Yuqing was so happy. She had always been a strict mother. Because Lao Xiao was a loving father with "no bottom line", the relationship between her daughter and her father was closer. This made Lu Yuqing envious and a little sad. She also loves her daughter very much.
The last time Xiao Yuer took the initiative to sleep with him was when Chen Hansheng was quarantined last year. At that time, Xiao Yuer shed tears when he fell asleep.
Suddenly, Xiao Hongwei coughed next to him, and Lu Yuqing realized that this was actually not good news, which meant that her daughter was feeling very uncomfortable.
"Let's go, mom will take you to bed."
Lu Yuqing took Xiao Yuer's hand and walked to the bedroom. When the two lay down, Lu Yuqing kept mouthing in order to comfort her daughter. say.
"Honey, you should know about the Oriental Hotel. The effect of playing audio and video is very good. The place is quite big and the banquet is held there."
"Yeah."
Xiao Rongyu didn't look very interested.
"Have any classmates come back?"
"Because it's not Saturday, so no one is free."
Xiao Yu'er said softly.
Lu Yuqing thought that maybe her classmates didn’t come over, so her daughter felt a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do about it.Legal.
"Grandma specially ordered a bright red festive red dress. It cost 2,000 yuan and came with pearls. She cherished it very much and said that the next time she wears it will be when you get married."< /p>
When it came to grandma, Xiao Yuer took the initiative to ask: "How is grandma's health lately?"
"It's pretty good. She can eat and sleep, and she still dislikes me."< /p>
Lu Yuqing said with a smile.
Xiao Rongyu pouted and buried his head in Lu Yuqing's arms. Lu Yuqing stroked Xiao Yu'er's back and muttered: "My daughter, your parents are the only daughter, so you You must be happy..."
Hearing her mother's warm words, Xiao Rongyu felt her nose sore. She didn't want to cry in front of her mother, so she stood up and walked to the bathroom.
The moment she locked the door with a bang, she could no longer hold back her tears and flowed down suddenly.
"I also understand that you are very busy and really don't have time to come back, so you still want to say happy birthday to me."
Xiao Yu'er looked in the mirror and whispered: "The most I can do is pretend to be angry for a while. Anyway, I just need you to coax me."
"Girls must have a little vanity, but how could you forget it, Chen Zhu !"
"But I don't want to remind you, I don't care about you."
"Chen Zhu, are you sad because you won't be able to see the day when you are 20 years old. Me."
·······
Xiao Yuer, this Bai Yueguang who likes a little romance, a little sweetness, and a little surprise, in fact, as long as Chen Hansheng remembers himself. It's just birthday.
"Dong dong dong."
Lv Yuqing's voice came from outside the door: "Daughter, are you okay?"
"I'm okay."
p>Xiao Rongyu turned on the faucet, firstly to cover up his crying, and secondly to wash his face to prevent his parents from seeing his tears.
When she walked out of the bathroom, Lu Yuqing was waiting outside. Seeing her daughter's red eyes, Lu Yuqing knew that her daughter did have a problem.
Lu Yuqing held Xiao Yu'er's face lovingly, sighed and said: "If I ask you and don't tell me, I'm going to kill you. Your temperament is like mine but more proud. You'd rather be sad than bow your head." "
·······
On the 17th, Xiao Rongyu accompanied his parents to meet some relatives and tried on a beautiful dress, which is for tomorrow. Birthday wear.
But until night, Xiao Rongyu was still in a very low mood. She kept turning on her phone, hoping to get a piece of news that would make her happy.
In fact, the message was very short, only 6 words.
"Happy birthday to you."
However, until after midnight, the phone was still dark and motionless, like a brick without emotion, but my roommate Bian Shishi A call came.
"Happy birthday, baby."
Bian Shishi shivered from the cold: "But, your port city is so cold..."
"Yes, port city is much colder than Jianye. "
Xiao Rongyu heard the noise there, and there seemed to be a lot of people there: "Why did you suddenly talk about the weather in Hong Kong City, haven't you returned to the dormitory yet?"
" Ah? ······"
Bian Shishi quickly explained: "I'm worried that you will catch a cold when you go back, hahaha, I'm going to die, good night, we will always love you."
< p>Xiao Rongyu thought that "we" was speaking on behalf of the dormitory, so he didn't take it to heart. However, when it was past 1 o'clock, he still hadn't seen the expected message.In the end, it was Lu Yuqing who coaxed her to sleep like he did when she was a child.
On the morning of the 18th, while the family was having dinner, Xiao Hongwei and Lu Yuqing kept calling. For example, some relatives could not find their way, or there were some problems in the hotel that needed to be communicated.
"Director Xiao, the master of ceremonies is already in place. When will you come?"
"Master of ceremonies?"
Xiao Hongwei was stunned for a moment, thinking about me Lu Yuqing didn't take it seriously when the host of ceremonies was invited: "Maybe the hotel gave it to you for your face."
"I can't take advantage of this."
Old Xiao took out A red envelope with 200 yuan in it: "I will give the red envelope to the emcee at that time. You can't just gossip about people after getting promoted."
