After Meng Qiyun entered the Star Reaching Pavilion, the selection of people came to an end.
Then news came from Ning Youan that Shuiyunjian had been renovated and was ready to be officially opened on June 28th.
The date was chosen very coincidentally, as it happened to be Shen Qingqing's birthday and the first anniversary of her time travel.
On the 28th, Shen Qingqing woke up early in the morning, put on new clothes, combed new hair accessories, and put on a new hair and face, giving her a completely new look.
When she went out and met four kids, Meng Qixue was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. They jumped into her arms and blew a basket full of rainbow farts.
Meng Qiyu reminded her: "Ahem, it's almost time to stop. We still have serious things to do."
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Meng Qixue jumped out of Shen Qingqing's arms and ran away with the other three kids.
After a while, several people ran back out of breath. One of them held a mahogany box in his hand and stood neatly in a row in front of Shen Qingqing. On the boxes were written the four characters "birth, day, happiness and happiness".
Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows, reached out to pick up the box, and said with a smile: "Let me guess what's inside, silver?"
Meng Qixue said with a sweet voice: "Mom, you are too good at making things difficult for others. All our money is at home, and it is too late to fly back now."
"What is that?" Shen Qingqing was even more interested.
Meng Qiyu reminded her: "Open it and take a look."
"Okay." Shen Qingqing stepped forward and opened the box in Meng Qixue's hand. The top layer was a scroll. When she opened the scroll, a young and beautiful woman in red slowly came into view.
The woman in the painting is obviously Shen Qingqing herself, and the background is the original dilapidated tile-roofed house.
Meng Qixue stood on tiptoes and explained to her: "This is the first time my mother has worn a red dress. She looks very beautiful, so I drew her. I wish my mother, like the person in the painting, will always be young and forever."
pretty!"
Shen Qingqing smiled and rubbed her head, "Thank you Xuebao, Mom likes this gift very much."
Next came Meng Qiyu. His gift was a handkerchief, with a corner of the handkerchief embroidered with... strange-shaped things.
Meng Qiyu blushed and said: "This is the handkerchief I embroidered by myself. What is embroidered on the other side is a small grass, which just corresponds to my mother's name. Thank you for teaching me how to read and write, and making delicious food for me. I wish you the best."
Mom will always be happy and happy."
Shen Qingqing: "I understand the truth, but why a handkerchief?"
"Have you forgotten? That night two old witches wanted to capture you and sell you, but we helped you. Then you wiped my nose with a handkerchief and said many words to me. I remember them all."
Meng Qiyu looked up at her with a serious face.
Shen Qingqing's heart was filled with heat and she was indescribably moved. She had forgotten such a trivial thing. She didn't expect that the children would still remember it.
Then there is Meng Qiyun. In her box... is a skinny little devil???
Shen Qingqing was a little confused, "What does this mean?"
Meng Qiyun said seriously: "This little devil used to be a storyteller in a teahouse, but now he can tell stories. In the future, when you and your father return to your hometown and we are not with you, you can listen to it tell stories when you are bored, so you will never be bored again!"
"
"You're really attentive." Shen Qingqing scraped her nose.
Meng Qiyun smiled, with a silly look like "I was praised, I am so proud", and his cold temperament was completely gone.
Shen Qingqing smiled brightly and turned to open the box in Meng Qifeng's hand. As soon as her hand touched the lid, Meng Qiyun hugged her arm.
The little girl looked innocent: "Wait! I haven't said my blessing yet. I wish my mother will always be powerful and invincible!"
Shen Qingqing winked at her and said, "I received your blessing."
Meng Qifeng's gift is a bracelet made of small stones. Each stone is polished smooth and round, and various colors are mixed together. Its appearance is not inferior to the jade bracelets in jewelry stores.
"Compared with my younger brothers and sisters, I am the stupidest one and the least able to make money, but I promise my mother that I will use my own ability to buy my mother a set of gold jewelry that is 10,000 times more beautiful than this one!"
Meng Qifeng patted his chest and spoke with enthusiasm.
Shen Qingqing shook her head, "Feng'er, you are wrong. In Mom's eyes, the four of you are equally smart, but each of you is good at different fields. There is no need to compare. Also, Mom thinks this bracelet is very beautiful.
, more beautiful than any gold jewelry.”
Meng Qifeng grinned, still the innocent young man who was as black as a loach, "Feng'er is here to wish my mother always rich, always... happy, plus Yu'er's, it will be doubly happy!"
"Our family will be doubly happy. Whoever is unhappy is a puppy!" Shen Qingqing smiled and rolled her eyes at four equally bright smiling faces. "Where is your father? Why haven't you seen him?"
Meng Qixue spread her little hands and gloated, "Daddy encountered a little trouble, and it's all because he is too stupid..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yuan's dissatisfied voice came from outside the arch: "Meng Qixue, who are you calling stupid?"
Meng Qixue covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes. "Dad, I said I'm stupid."
Meng Yuan strode over, pinched her cheek, and then handed a basin of unknown objects in his hand to Shen Qingqing, "Your birthday cake is made just like the one last time, but I don't know what went wrong.
, it has never taken shape..."
Shen Qingqing looked at the batter and milk stains all over his body, and then looked at the big milk-flavored steamed buns with a layer of chopped fruit in the basin, and laughed unkindly.
"I just said yesterday that you successfully advanced to become a divine chef, and today you are doing this. Meng Yuan, you are determined to promote dark cuisine, right?"
Meng Yuan looked embarrassed, and a blush crept from his cheeks to the back of his ears, "What should I do? If I just go through the process, I won't eat anything?"
"It's okay, let's try it. Maybe it's delicious?" Shen Qingqing took the basin from his hand, then pointed behind her, "Change your clothes. If you wear this to the store later, won't you?
Those who knew it thought I was committing domestic violence."
Meng Yuan lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "My wife is so gentle and considerate, how can she be subjected to domestic violence? Don't listen to their nonsense."
After saying this, the person obediently went back to the room and changed clothes.
When she came out dressed in new clothes, Shen Qingqing had already laid out the cake and lit the candles. The four boys sat around the table, deliberately leaving the seat next to Shen Qingqing vacant.
"Dad, come here and sit down!" Meng Qixue turned around and waved to him, her face full of impatient wait.
Meng Yuan raised the corners of his lips and strode forward. With every step he took, the smile on his face grew a little more, and the warmth and happiness in his heart also grew a little more.
After everyone sat down, Meng Qixue shook her clothes and stood up. She cleared her throat solemnly and said: "Now I will teach you all to sing the Happy Birthday song. Listen carefully! Happy birthday to you..."
"Happy birthday to you, happiness to you, health to you..."
The children's brisk and childlike singing gradually filled the entire courtyard, and everywhere they looked there was warmth and joy. This chapter has been completed!
