MTL - Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine-Chapter 95 standard
On the birthdays of the two children, Lin Wei prepared a table of good dishes, including seafood. She asked Zong Shao to go to the vegetable market to buy some shrimp and crabs, and he handled the follow-up, including steaming.
After the basic shrimp and crabs were put into the pot, Lin Wei never entered the kitchen again. Zong Shao came to serve the dishes and cooked the rice in the back, and she was in charge of greeting the children.
Said to be children, in fact, including Mingming Ruirui himself, there are only seven children in total.
And four of the seven children were added after Lin Wei confirmed with the two children repeatedly.
But Rarity's character is passive. It was like that when he was in his hometown. Basically, his friends played well with Mingming first before being accepted by him.
Lin Wei sometimes thinks that it's like Rarity's friend filter, and that new friends will only be seen by Rarity when he approves them.
On the other hand, Mingming has a more domineering personality, so his standard for picking friends is to be obedient and the kind who can recognize him as the boss. But children's eyes are also very favorable. Even if they recognize the boss, they will be more willing to look for older children who look taller and stronger.
It's just that there are not many children who are about the same age as Mingming in the family area, and secondly, Mingming is not short among children of the same age, but in the whole family area, the height is not enough. So to this day, very few are willing to recognize him as the boss.
Because of this, Mingming Ruirui has been on the island for almost a year and has met many people, but the small group has still not grown.
So when Lin Wei said that they could invite good friends over for dinner, she would only say Xiao Shishi's name for a long time, but Rarity didn't have one. What he wanted to say was preempted by his brother.
Although Lin Wei had long known that the two children had few friends, she usually saw that they did not play with other children at all, so she didn't think much about it.
Until this moment, she didn't know that apart from Xiao Shi, the two brothers couldn't even count the friends they wanted to invite.
Recalling that when she was a child, although there were not many friends, there were always seven or eight people who played together, but as she grew older, friends who dropped out of school and married people gradually dispersed.
As a result, the two children were not as good as when she was a child.
In fact, she doesn't have to make many friends between the two children, but she just hopes that they can open up their social circle a little bit. There is no harm in knowing more people.
Therefore, Lin Wei confirmed with the two children several times after that, and told them that birthdays are fun because there are too few people.
Rarity's attitude is still the same after hearing this, and it is absolutely necessary to add more candidates.
Mingming is a lively person. Thinking about it, she said two more names. One is Zhao Li's youngest daughter, Tiantian, who is two years older than Mingming Ruirui. Because she lived far away, there was no contact between the children.
Last year, Zhao Li invited them to dinner when she moved to a new house. The families they were close to were sent out by the whole family, and the children got to know each other like this. Because the other children were much older than the three children, they were impatient to take their children. At that time, they could barely get together to play with adults, but they didn't call much, and they didn't become friends after that.
Tiantian is the only one who doesn't dislike their young age, and will come to play with them from time to time after that, but because she always calls Mingming's younger brother, Mingming is often unhappy about it.
But when it came to her birthday, it was obvious that she was the one who could have invited her.
Then there is a child from a military wife's family on the other side of the townhouse. He and they knew each other by playing sand. They didn't communicate frequently, but they got along well.
The other two were from Lin Wei, and one was a student she brought. They were several years older than the brothers, but they had good personalities and could talk to Rarity. There is also a child who is also a school teacher. Like the brothers, he was brought to school before school age, and often sneaked out of his mother's classroom to play with them.
Although it was clear that Ruirui didn't think of them at first, but after Lin Wei mentioned it, the two children didn't object, so she invited everyone over.
After the children arrived, it was mainly Ruirui who was entertaining them. Although there were five children, they were very talkative, and one person could entertain three or four children.
When it's obvious that she can't care, Rarity can still be on top. Although he speaks less, but he can talk about the point, even the oldest child can be shocked by her, let alone other similar children.
Moreover, Ruirui also took out all his toys, including marbles, shuttlecocks, puzzles and wooden carts. It's in the bedroom.
But it was clear that the toys that Ruirui took out were enough for the children to play with, so the atmosphere was very good, and every child seemed very happy.
Obviously Ruirui is the same, although before the birthday, the two children said that they don't need so many people to celebrate their birthday, but at this time, both of them laughed and rolled their eyes.
Also because the children were patronizing and playing, it took Lin Wei a lot of effort to call them to eat.
However, after seeing the dishes on the table, the children will not care about playing. Although the life of the military officer's family will not be too bad, these children are not able to eat meat every day.
What's more, the dishes prepared by Lin Wei, including meat, eggs and seafood, were completely irresistible.
Although very greedy, the children are very obedient. After Lin Wei proposed to sing "Happy Birthday to You" and wish Mingming Ruirui a happy birthday, they put down their chopsticks.
But some children asked: "How do you sing "Happy Birthday to You"?"
Lin Wei was stunned and asked, "How many of you can't sing this song?" Several children raised their hands, including Mingming Ruirui brothers.
Lin Wei was really stunned now. She remembered that this song was widely sung, so although it was not taught in school, she seemed to know how to sing it when she was very young. But thinking about the children in front of them are relatively small, it seems normal that they have never heard of it.
Lin Wei thought about it and said, "Then I'll sing it for you guys first."
Mingming took the lead in applauding: "Mom is going to sing! Mom is going to sing!"
Hearing what Mingming shouted, Zong Shao, who went upstairs to get the toy, picked up something and almost jumped down when he went down the stairs. After reaching the first floor, he quickly put down the toy and walked out to watch in three and two steps.
The other children also looked at Lin Wei expectantly.
Lin Wei: "..." You don't have to be so excited.
Lin Wei doesn't sing very often, and it was Ruirui's birthday last time, but they might not remember it, so when she asked, both children said they didn't know how to sing "Happy Birthday to You".
As for how she sings, she doesn't want to say bad things, but she's not so narcissistic and can't say good things. Therefore, being watched by so many people, she felt a lot of pressure, afraid that she would go away, and that her voice would be too harsh to hear.
Fortunately, this song is catchy enough. Although I haven't sung it for many years, it is still difficult to sing it badly.
At least after Lin Wei finished singing, the children responded very enthusiastically, especially Mingming, who was applauding and applauding, making Lin Wei almost think that she was an empress overnight.
Zong Shao was not as excited as the children, but he also applauded and looked at Lin Wei with a smile.
No matter how excited the children were, Lin Wei felt okay, even a little complacent, but when she saw the expression on Zong Shao's face, she was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and coughed and said, "That's how I sing this song, I'll sing it next. One sentence, you two, okay?"
The children said in unison: "Okay!"
Lin Wei raised her head, glanced at Zong Shao, lowered her head again, cleared her throat and sang, "Happy birthday to you!"
The children quickly followed. Although the children could not sing before, the lyrics of this song are simple. The children heard her sing again just now. Even the youngest little stone can follow it.
After a song was sung, Lin Wei took the lead in applauding: "Happy birthday to Mingming and Rarui! Always happy!"
The children applauded and shouted, "Happy birthdays to Mingming and Rarity! Always happy!"
Rarity stood there with a reserved expression on her face, nodding her head in thanks, while Mingming was more emotional and applauded as she said thank you.
When the applause fell, Lin Wei gave Zong Shao a wink. He turned around and went into the room to get the gift, first handing the gift to Mingming to her.
Lin Wei took the gift with both hands and said to both of them, "This is the first birthday gift that my mother prepared for you. Mom hopes that you will be happy in the future, and I hope that every year in the future, my mother can prepare birthday gifts for you. "
Speaking of this, Lin Wei regrets it. Like many people in the past, she didn't pay much attention to birthdays.
It was not until she had that dream with a knife hanging over her head that she felt regret and wanted to remedy it.
When giving the gift to the two children, Lin Wei sincerely hoped that this birthday present was not the first and last gift she gave to the children.
She hopes that in the years to come, she can prepare gifts for them and accompany them on their birthdays.
Lin Wei's thoughts, the two children do not know, they just feel that this day is too happy!
Mingming hugged the gift and said, "I also hope that I can celebrate my birthday every year in the future!"
Rarity's chosen puzzle was too big, so he could only hold the gift diagonally, leaned out from below and said, "Me too, I hope Mom, Dad and I will be together forever!"
Children are not so emotional, other children don't think what they say, they just envy the gifts Mingming Ruirui got.
They seem to have a birthday too!
…
The other children wanted to celebrate their birthdays, but they didn't have enough birthdays.
When coaxing the two children to sleep at night, Mingming suddenly asked, "Mom, can I still celebrate my birthday tomorrow?"
"Didn't you just celebrate your birthday today?" Lin Wei asked while holding the storybook.
Mingming lay on the bed with his hands around his knees, raised his legs and asked, "After celebrating my birthday today, can't we celebrate tomorrow? Can't we celebrate for several days?"
"How many days to celebrate?" Lin Wei felt amused, poked her son's head and asked, "Why don't you go to heaven?"
The mother of the motherland only had one day off for her birthday, but he was fine, and he wanted to celebrate for several days in a row.
He clearly didn't understand the meaning of his mother's words and said, "I don't have wings, how can I go to the sky." If he had wings, he would also like to fly in the sky, okay?
When talking to children, you can't beat around the bush. Lin Wei said directly: "I mean, you only celebrate one day on your birthday. If you still want to celebrate your birthday, wait until next year."
Mingming still wants to struggle again: "But my brother and I are two people. The other two have two birthdays. Shouldn't we also have two days?"
Lin Wei had found it out, obviously when she was talking about heresy, her mind was very bright.
If he had the energy to think hard when he was in class, it wouldn't be a dream to catch up with Rarity, not to mention his current progress.
But Lin Wei didn't have to ask, she knew that she didn't have the energy to study, and she didn't expect much from him. She could do what the original book did, get into a good university, follow his father's footsteps, and be the second batch to go to sea. People who eat crabs, she is satisfied.
Lin Wei thought about it and asked, "Then why don't you ask other people how their birthdays are?"
"How did it go?"
"Changshou noodles, with eggs, do you want it?"
Mingming: "..." No more.
Seeing her son's speechless appearance, Lin Wei felt relieved. After coaxing the two children to sleep, she muttered to Zong Shao, "Breaking a birthday into two days, he thinks so beautifully!"
"It's pretty," Zong Shao nodded in agreement and said, "But don't worry, I don't have to split my birthday into two days, you can just prepare according to the standards of children."
Lin Wei almost thought she heard it wrong, turned her head and asked, "What?"
Zong Shao narrowed his eyes: "My birthday is in May, haven't you forgotten?"
Lin Wei: "…"
Well, this birthday is really endless!
