The Blessed

"Oh, daddy, you rest assured, from this year, I will remember your birthday, and also father’s. From now on, when it’s your birthday, I will remind you.”

Soon the small bun let it go and promised him while patting on his chest. Although the big bun didn’t say anything, his eyes were sparkling, apparently he was thinking the same thing like his younger brother. Seeing that, Tiewa aside hurriedly said, “I will also remember it for you. Adoptive daddy, I will also remember it for you.”

“All right, all right. I will leave those things for you to remember then.”

Looking at the three cute little faces, Ling Jingxuan smiled like a flower, and what is happier than the thoughtful children?

Although everyone forgot the birthday of the buns, the evening dinner was still very rich. It basically had all their favorite dishes which Ling Jingxuan specially told sister-in-law to prepare. When Lady Wang and others knew that it was their birthday, they all blamed themselves for being too careless. Then they all turned to prepare red envelops for the two brothers.

"Thank you, uncle, aunt, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Han, Uncle Han, Uncle Peng, brother Shanzi.”

The two buns nearly smiled their eyes into two new moons after receiving so many red envelops. This was the first time they celebrated their birthday.

Seeing this, Ling Jingxuan secretly threw Yan Shengxuan an eyes, and then slipped out while nobody was noticing. Yan Shengrui signaled the two sons to go over, and then felt out two big red pouches and handed them to them, “I don’t have to prepare presents for you. So take the money. Buy anything you like. When I see some rare things or funny stuff, I will make it up for you.”

"Thank you, father."

The two buns’ eyes were glistening, and they accepted it directly. As they opened it, it was a bank note of ten thousand taels of silver, their little hands were shaking, and the bank note nearly dropped on the ground. Ling Wen instantly darkened his face and handed it back to him, “Father, why did you give us so much? I don’t want it.”

Ten thousand! So it was twenty thousand together! Even their whole family didn’t have so much money! For their red envelops, their father had hollowed out their whole family?

"Neither do I."

Seeing this, Ling Wu also stuffed the bank note back to him. Ten or a hundred tales of silver, they could feel happy. But this was too much!

"Ha ha... Take it, rest assured, this is not your daddy's money, it’s mine. This is the first time I celebrate for your birthday, so it’s reasonable I give you so much.”

With Yan Shengrui's shrewdness, how could he not know what his sons were thinking? For that, he even couldn’t help smiling, feeling so sorry deep in his eyes. As Yan Shengrui’s legitimate sons, they even dare not accept only ten thousand taels of silver? Wouldn’t people take it as joke if they heard of it? In the future, he got to train them. Whenever he had a chance, he'd stuff them some money.

"Father is lying. Isn't your money daddy's? Our family is rich, everyone is easy at hands, but you still can’t give us so much. Aren’t you afraid we may learn bad things with so much money? Don’t the storytellers say that those dandies turn bad only because they have too much money?”

Ling Wen didn’t make concession at all, with an extra serious expression. Ling Wu who had always followed his lead also nodded hard. Yan Shengrui couldn’t help complaining in the heart, we only wish you could turn into a dandy. Pity that it would never happen in this life.

"That's your father's pin money. You can take it."

Ling Jingxuan's voice suddenly sounded, everyone looked up and saw him carrying a very big and beautiful thing and come in, a light fruit fragrance slowly drifted away. Ling Wu who had been full suddenly had a stomach grumble, with his eyes staring at that colorful big cake, kept swallowing some saliva now and then. Even Ling Wen and Tiewa who were not so fond of food couldn’t move their eyes from it, with naked curiosity under their eyes.

"There is a saying that a man becomes bad when he has money. If you don't help your father spend his money, aren't you afraid that he will go out to mess with the money? Take it all. Your father is rich and doesn't care about it at all.”

Ignoring their drooling mouth, Ling Jingxuan put down the cake and took the bank notes and stuffed them back to the buns. After he said that, Yan Shengrui instantly darkened his face. But the two little buns no longer refused. In their little hearts, they always felt that whatever daddy said was all right. So, since daddy said so, as the sons, they should help daddy watch their father.

"Daddy, what is this? A cake? Looks good, and smells good. It must be delicious."

The attention of the little guys had already shifted to the cake which they had never seen before, and Ling Wu already stuffed those red envelops into his father’s hand, rested his head on the table staring at the big cake, the next thing would be drooling.

"Hehe, this is the birthday cake, daddy specially makes it for you, also daddy’s present for you. Wait a second.”

Speaking of which, Ling Jingxuan also no longer hung their appetite, he picked up the special small candles aside and inserted them in the cake, and felt out the flintstone and lit them,  “Come on, everyone gather around. Xiaowen, Xiaowu, you sit together.”

With everything ready, Ling Jingxuan sat back beside Shengrui, after taking a look at him, they both clapped their hands, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…”

The happy birthday song slowly rang. At first, Lady Wang and others still didn’t quite understand, but soon, they also joined them clapping their hands. Because the song was quite catchy and easy to learn, soon they also learned to sing it. At last, even those servants and maids waiting on aside also couldn’t help singing it while clapping their hands. The whole room was filled with the sound of their hands clasping and the birthday song. The two little buns couldn’t be happier now!
