Chapter 257 Birthday (please subscribe)

It will be four o'clock soon.

Aunt Liu's house, bathroom.

Xu Xinghe raised his arm and asked about the smell on his autumn clothes. It smelled a little like washing powder, a little like the disinfectant balls in the cabinet, and more of the feminine smell of Liu Qingfei. Although it wasn't that fragrant, it smelled good.

It felt very comfortable, smelled particularly good, and no one was watching anyway. Xu Xinghe took several puffs, and then he was satisfied and found a few clothes racks in the toilet to hang up his clothes, and opened the bathroom door.

.

"Aunt Liu?"

"...Hmm." Liu Qingfei's little face was still struggling with what Xu Xinghe said before.

“Where do you hang the clothes?”

"The balcony over there."

One piece...

Two pieces...

Xu Xinghe had no choice but to dry his clothes on a small balcony on the first floor.

After finishing his clothes, Xu Xinghe looked at the man who was reading the newspaper on the sofa. He was about to sit down and discuss with Aunt Liu what he had told her before.

Beep beep, beep beep, his phone rang very quickly. He took a look and saw that it was Sister Zhang calling.

"Where are you?"

Xu Xinghe hurriedly ran to the balcony in a few steps, "What's wrong? I'm at a, um, friend's house."

It can be said that Sister Zhang knows a lot about him, and Xu Xinghe doesn't have to hide it from her.

Sure enough, a meaningful voice came over the phone, "Oh? Where are my boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Xu Xinghe coughed twice, turned his head secretly and glanced behind Liu Qingfei, who didn't answer, but it still explained everything.

Sister Zhang suddenly asked on the other end of the phone: "Do you know what day it is these days?"

Xu Xinghe groaned, a little confused.

"Oh, then you should be busy." Sister Zhang's voice sounded strange and she hung up, listening to the sudden busy tone on the other end of the phone.

Xu Xinghe just held the phone and blinked.

No, is Sister Zhang angry?

So cold?

Xu Xinghe frowned. Has he been neglecting her recently? Not really. He is often contacted by phone at night.

Where did you provoke her?

She went to a meeting outside. She was so busy, so I didn't see her a few times.

Xu Xinghe stood on the balcony and thought for a long time, rubbed his eyes, and walked into the living room with some confusion. When he saw the electronic clock over there, he suddenly slapped his head and suddenly realized.

Wow, shouldn’t today be Sister Zhang’s birthday?

Xu Xinghe thought about it for a moment, and then swallowed hard. Oops, he had forgotten all this. He quickly said hello to Aunt Liu who came out of the toilet, and he had to leave quickly.

Aunt Liu is still a little confused.

Xu Xinghe didn't even change into his pajamas, so he quickly ran to the nearest shopping mall, quickly changed into a set of clothes, and then picked out a gift for Sister Zhang.

He drove without stopping and drove to the main city with sparks and lightning all the way.

Everyone was running out of breath.

My head was sweating profusely, and I finally freed my hand to wipe it and calm down.

Then he gently pressed the combination lock of Sister Zhang's house.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Xinghe handed over a box with a smile on his face, "This is for you. Happy birthday. I wish you good health and good progress."

Sister Zhang was still wearing a suit today. It was obvious that she had just arrived home. She seemed to be a little irritated. She said oh, took it and threw it on the table.

Xu Xinghe said helplessly: "Open it and see if you like it."

Sister Zhang frowned, but she still reached out and opened the box, but there was a hint of impatience in the action of opening the box, as if the belated gift was coming to her.

As much as Xu Xinghe wanted to be depressed, the box was opened and fluorescent lights were revealed. Sister Zhang still knows the goods, "Necklace? It's not cheap."

Xu Xinghe said: "Well, it's from Cartier. I passed by the store and it looked good. I thought it suited you well, so I bought it. I asked them to adjust the strap. Can you put it on and take a look?"

Zhang Yiling asked: "How much?"

"Hey, I don't have much money." Xu Xinghe didn't say anything.

Zhang Yiling put it on and tried it on. Well, it still fits, just right. Moreover, this necklace may be more suitable for her style than the one on her neck. After all, it was a gift from Xu Xinghe.

Xu Xinghe asked expectantly: "What do you think?"

"...It's okay." Zhang Yiling answered perfunctorily.

Xu Xinghe sighed and didn't care. He knew that he could even forget her birthday. If she hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten it thousands of miles away. He had no right to be angry. The look in his eyes at Zhang Yiling actually suggested that Sister Zhang was right.

This gift should probably be satisfactory, otherwise it won’t

I just wore it on my neck without taking it off. Xu Xinghe also thought that his taste was good, "Cake is a high-calorie thing. If you don't want to eat it, I didn't buy it. So how do you celebrate your birthday? How did you usually give it in the past?

It’s your birthday? What’s for dinner?”

Xu Xinghe was indeed caught off guard when a call came suddenly.

"What's for dinner?" Zhang Yiling repeated.

Xu Xinghe blinked and said, "Yes, what should we eat?"

Zhang Yiling said matter-of-factly: "What you eat depends on how you know how to cook. Well, didn't you come here to buy vegetables? Just pick what you are good at and cook it."

Xu Xinghe said in astonishment: "Ah? I'm cooking?"

Zhang Yiling said: "Then why do you think I called you?"

Xu Xinghe smiled helplessly.

She is still upset, she has to let Xu Xinghe take care of her.

Zhang Yiling looked at him and said, "Don't you want to cook for me?"

As soon as he said this, Xu Xinghe thought in his heart that he deserved it. Who could have allowed him to be so careless?

Come on, I'll serve you as long as I serve you. Who said you are the birthday boy today? I don't have the same experience as you.

Xu Xinghe can afford to put down women, especially his own women, "Okay, then I'll go look around and cook some dishes. It's not too early now. It's time to do it. You have

What do you like to eat?" Xu Xinghe didn't eat at noon and wanted to eat early.

Zhang Yiling said in a somewhat calm tone: "I don't care."

"Then I'll watch it come." Xu Xinghe said.

Zhang Yiling said yes and continued watching TV, as if she had no intention of talking to Xu Xinghe anymore.

With this attitude, it doesn't look like asking Xu Xinghe to celebrate her birthday. Fortunately, Xu Xinghe understands why Sister Zhang is acting like this today.

However, it is difficult to maintain.

If you forget your girlfriend's birthday and have to remind her of it, you will definitely be unhappy.

It's all Lin Yingchun's fault. What are you doing all this time?

This tossing makes me feel bad. When I feel bad, my memory becomes bad, and I forget things.

Well, it’s all Lin Yingchun’s fault.

Xu Xinghe shook his head and could only comfort and adjust me. He strolled to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and looked for things to wash and chop vegetables.

It's five o'clock.

Sister Zhang’s house.

The lighting here is very good, and it is a duplex room on the top floor. The dim sunset slowly shines into the room, making it feel as soft and beautiful as a picture scroll.

Of course, the picture in the kitchen is not so soft.

Xu Xinghe was covered in stinky sweat and was scratching the fish scales. The smell of fish in the room also hit him a lot. Xu Xinghe couldn't help complaining, numb, today is the first time for us to celebrate our birthday together, no.

They say red wine, champagne and flowers are beautiful, but there has to be some atmosphere, right?

The way I look, I look like your nanny.

"Are you ready?" Sister Zhang outside urged.

Xu Xinghe listened helplessly and had nowhere to vent his anger, "We haven't finished cleaning up yet."

Zhang Yiling is a Jingui, and said: "Hurry up, or else close the kitchen door and listen to the sound of fish scales being scraped. I'll get upset."

Xu Xinghe wanted to go out and give her a kick, and he also said something to her, "You eat ready-made food here, so don't be so particular about it, okay?"

Zhang Yiling was very unhappy, "You say it again?"

You obviously forgot my birthday and went to someone else's house. What's wrong with asking you to do something?

Ring, ring, ring, the phone rang, it was Sister Zhang's call, she didn't care about that anymore, picked up the phone and said: "Hey, I... um... um, got it... ok, this matter

We already said in yesterday’s meeting that we should contact the Legal Department if we have any matters. I didn’t invite them here just to sit there. If this matter cannot be handled well, you can tell them not to come.”

Xu Xinghe heard this and said to himself that Sister Zhang was not as irritable before at work. Well, it seemed that she had caused others to be scolded. She shook her head helplessly. Xu Xinghe had almost finished packing the fish. Look at the time.

, let’s do it.

Fried fish.

stew.

stir-fry.

Xu Xinghe was busy alone.

Sister Zhang was watching TV outside in the living room. The one she was sitting in today was a steady one, and she had no intention of coming to help at all. And if you don’t want to help, then you can’t help. She was just a mother, and everyone said

When the smell of cooking fumes got too strong, she asked him to turn up the range hood. After a while, she asked him not to put so much sugar in the cooking. She didn't like the food because it was too sweet. Anyway, she was always giving orders.

Teeth itching with anger - there is no way to describe Xu Xinghe's current mood.

What a sin.

Should have thought of it earlier.

When there are more women, more troubles will follow.

I wish I could beat the woman to death - this description barely reflects Xu Xinghe's true thoughts now.

It’s so irritating!

What are you fussing about?

If you have the ability, can you come over and cook??

After slamming the kitchen door shut, Xu Xinghe couldn't see it and felt calm. He didn't expect anyone else to help him. He even cooked, washed the pots, and put the vegetables in. When he finally opened the kitchen door, Xu Xinghe carried the

He walked out with several plates of fried vegetables, "It's all ready, let's eat!"

As soon as I went out, I saw her still talking on the phone.

Busy.

Sister Zhang has been flying everywhere recently. From the tone of her voice, it seems that she decided to change her itinerary when she came back. In order to celebrate his birthday with him, eh, if you think about it this way, Xu Xinghe's anger at Sister Zhang has dissipated.

Mostly, I blame myself. I am too special in Zhang Yiling's eyes and forgot her birthday. Even though Sister Zhang is usually indulgent enough, she must still have a little temper.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe thought about it, forget it, buddy, I won't argue with you, "Sister Zhang, let's eat. I'm a little tired this morning, my hands are sore, and I don't know if I've done it well.

Just make do with how much you have, there are two more dishes, I'll take them."

Zhang Yiling hummed and put the phone on the table.

Xu Xinghe went to bring out other dishes and rice, "By the way, what is your birthday this year?" After asking, he regretted it.

Sister Zhang didn't even look at him and just ignored the words.

Xu Xinghe coughed, knowing that a woman is already this old, so it is definitely not easy to ask about her age, "What about, is there still wine at home? It's no fun celebrating a birthday without wine, I must drink some."

Sister Zhang pointed to a cabinet and said, "It's inside, you can take it yourself. I have something to do later, so I won't drink it today."

"Okay, then you can drink tea." Xu Xinghe found a bottle of Guojiao from the cabinet. It seemed to be quite old and looked good. He opened it and poured it for himself without using his chopsticks.

He raised his glass and said, "Sister Zhang, I'd like to toast you and wish you stay young forever."

Zhang Yiling's eyes were still quite soft, but her expression was nonchalant as she touched the teacup to him and took a sip.

Xu Xinghe ignored her and drank a glass of wine. His stomach felt warm after the wine, and he felt very comfortable. The wine was also delicious, "Hey, eat the food, eat the food, and try my craftsmanship."

Sister Zhang has already eaten it.

"How is it?" Xu Xinghe said with a smile. This is not the first time he has eaten it, but Xu Xinghe always likes to ask questions. It is quite comfortable to be recognized by the people he cares about.

Zhang Yiling said: "That's it, it's edible."

Xu Xinghe couldn't laugh or cry. Today, my buddy spent a long time frying the vegetables. Is this the evaluation of "edible"?

Xu Xinghe also took a bite himself. He performed exceptionally well today and it was clearly more delicious than usual.

"Try this again."

"Well, it's okay."

Xu Xinghe didn't ask in the end. He drank and ate food by himself. He was really hungry. He didn't care about any comments. He started to eat happily. He couldn't help it. He didn't eat in the morning and noon. He spent a long time in school and took a shower.

Half a day, half a day spent on the road, and half a day spent cooking at Sister Zhang's house.

He was already extremely hungry, and now he felt more and more hungry as he ate, and he no longer had any sense of grace. There was no need to do so in front of Sister Zhang, so the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

Zhang Yiling put down her chopsticks and pursed her lips and asked, "How many times have you been hungry?"

Xu Xinghe cheered and said, "Didn't our company go to the double election meeting in the past two days? I'm busy. I haven't eaten for a day. I'm very hungry. Don't just look at me. You eat too."

Sister Zhang looked much better after hearing what she said.

Sister Zhang eats very slowly and gracefully. This may be a habit and quality that she has developed since she was a child. After all, she is a member of the family. Although Xu Xinghe eats fast, he eats a lot.

I was drinking wine again, so I took a long time to eat this meal.

After dinner, I looked at my watch and saw that it was already past seven o'clock.

Xu Xinghe didn't do anything to wash the dishes today. He rubbed his belly and drank the last bit of wine. He didn't move anymore. He was washing vegetables and cooking, but he still washed the dishes? What nonsense. Sister Zhang didn't move either, not even the dining table.

Without leaving, she turned on the TV and watched it for a long time. Then Sister Zhang picked up her little foot and lightly kicked Xu Xinghe's thigh, and shouted: "Well, go wash the dishes."

Xu Xinghe shook his head, stretched out his hand and held her slender ankle, "If you don't want to wash it, I will wash your feet."
