Chapter 221: Promise to her that she will never eat on her birthday
By the time Xu Rongrong came downstairs with his two sons, the dining table was already full of aroma.
Dozens of dishes are spread across the entire table, each with a full range of colors and flavors. It is indeed a tourist attraction on this hungry night.
No, as soon as the hungry Wen Shanshan saw Xu Rongrong, she joked and said, "Rongrong, I'm really looking forward to your coming. If you don't come, no one will pull me up to eat. I'm just sitting here smelling the aroma.
It’s just suffering.”
Xu Rongrong also laughed, "Then I'll sit in front of you and eat later, so you can smell the aroma more."
Wen Shanshan rolled her eyes at the sky, showing a rare sense of playfulness that belongs to girls.
Xu Rongrong smiled while hiding her face, came to Wen Shanshan, and slowly pulled her up from the sofa, "Queen Mother Wen, please come here."
Wen Shanshan was amused by her funny words and could only shake her head helplessly, "You."
Xu Rongrong smiled, took Wen Shanshan to a chair and sat down, then went to get a towel to wipe Wen Shanshan's hands with a very smooth and natural movement.
After Wen Shanshan finished it, the others also washed their hands and came over one after another.
She was stunned. Except that she hadn't washed her hands, she had probably washed them all.
Here, Xu Rongrong and the others followed the habit of the old house and waited until everyone was gathered before eating. So when Xu Rongrong came back after washing her hands, she saw the whole family looking at her eagerly.
Indeed, everyone would feel resentful if there was so much delicious food in front of them but no way to eat it.
Xu Rongrong stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and smiled playfully, "Everyone can eat."
However, no one moved their chopsticks.
Xu Rongrong was shocked, "Have you not been waiting for me to come and eat quickly? Why don't you eat now?"
At this time, Bai Yi cleared his throat, and then repeated what he had just said in front of everyone, "It's such a mother. Because Aunt Shanshan was injured last time, A Nuan's birthday ended without a problem, so Tianning and I considered it.
After some discussion, I discussed it with my father and decided to organize a make-up birthday party for A-nuan."
"Birthday party?" Xu Rongrong said in surprise.
"Yes." Bai Yi nodded with a smile.
At this time, Xu Rongrong suddenly remembered that Wen Shanshan was injured that day and was visiting An Nuan's grandfather. The reason why she was visiting An Nuan's grandfather was because it was Nuan's birthday.
Later, because of Wen Shanshan's injury, A Nuan's birthday plans were all interrupted. Later, Xu Rongrong actually completely forgot about it.
She looked at A Nuan with some regret, but the little girl still looked at her with clear eyes, not unhappy because she forgot her birthday.
"I'm sorry, Ah Nuan, mom actually forgot your birthday." Xu Rongrong lowered his head and apologized to Ah Nuan.
The little girl shook her head happily and said with a smile, "Mom, don't blame yourself, A-Nuan is not afraid. Mom can take A-Nuan to see her grandpa, and A-Nuan is already very satisfied. As for her birthday, A-Nuan doesn't even dare to think about it."
.”
Hearing these words, Xu Rongrong's nose couldn't help but feel sore. She walked over and hugged Ah Nuan tightly, "A Nuan, it won't happen anymore. From now on, your mother will spend every birthday with you, okay.
"
"Okay, okay, mom is not allowed to break her promise." Ah Nuan said with a smile, looking a little heartless, but Xu Rongrong could clearly see that the corners of the child's eyes were red.
"What a good boy." Xu Rongrong stroked Ah Nuan's hair and sighed for her.
But at this time, there was a low cry in his ears. Xu Rongrong turned around and saw Wen Shanshan wiping her tears with her left hand. It seemed that she had been holding back her tears for a long time but could not hold them back. So when everyone turned to look at her, her face
The toilet was in embarrassment.
"Aunt Shanshan..." A Nuan looked at Wen Shanshan in confusion. It would be understandable if her mother was sad, but why was this aunt so sad? A Nuan blinked in confusion.
"I'm fine, Nuan." Wen Shanshan said with a forced smile, trying her best to dry her eyes so as not to shed any more tears.
"Ah Nuan." Xu Rongrong noticed Wen Shanshan's embarrassment and tried to divert Ah Nuan's attention.
"What's wrong, mom?" An Nuan turned around and asked.
Xu Rongrong smiled and turned to look at Bai Yi, "Bai Yi, didn't you say you were celebrating your sister's birthday? Isn't it just these dishes?"
"Of course not." Bai Yi said very proudly, and then he waved his hand, "Tianning, come out."
Only then did Xu Rongrong realize that at some point, Tianning was no longer in his seat.
At this time, the lights suddenly went out, and a small figure pushed a trolley in the kitchen and slowly walked out.
On the trolley, there was a large two-layer cake, with ten cute animal candles lit on the cake. The light of the candles shone on the little face of the person pushing the trolley, which was clearly Tianning's calm face.
Xu Rongrong covered her mouth and looked at the scene in surprise. Tianning, who was wearing a elegant little dress, pushed the cake in front of her and said in smooth Mandarin, "Please make a wish to Miss An Nuan."
A Nuan imitated what she saw on TV, clasping her hands together and closing her eyes, silently making a wish, then opening her eyes and blowing out all the candles in one breath.
The next second, the lights in the room turned on again. Xu Rongrong noticed that it was Mrs. Ming who turned the lights on and off.
At this time, Bai Yi took out a small crown and put it on A Nuan's head. Paired with the cute little dress Zhan Yiyang bought for her, she looked as cute and delicate as a princess.
"It's Xiao An Nuan's birthday. This is a gift from my brother." At this time, Bai Yi pulled out a small box from his back. It was very delicate and beautiful. He didn't know what it was.
Ah Nuan took it and wanted to tear it open, but was stopped by Bai Yi, "Ah Nuan, you have to go back to the room and slowly tear it apart. You can't tear it apart now."
After hearing this, Ah Nuan obediently put the gift behind her.
At this time, Tianning also took out a gift box and gave it to An Nuan, who also placed it behind her.
Xu Rongrong, on the other hand, looked at Ah Nuan in embarrassment. She didn't know that she was going to celebrate Ah Nuan's birthday today, so she didn't prepare anything at all.
However, at this moment, Zhan Yiyang miraculously took out two boxes, handed them to A Nuan, and said with a gentle smile, "A Nuan, these are given to you by your parents."
Ah Nuan took it obediently and said thank you. Her eyes kept blinking, looking very happy.
At this moment, ten minutes have passed. Everyone has given away gifts, and only Wen Shanshan is left.
Considering that Wen Shanshan definitely didn't know, and she couldn't give her daughter a gift, she would definitely be even more sad, so Xu Rongrong planned to speak up and help her smooth things over.
However, at this time, Wen Shanshan suddenly spoke, "Rong Rong, go to my room and take out the red box from the innermost layer of my bag."
Xu Rongrong was stunned for a moment, but nodded anyway, went to her room, found the bag she had brought with her, and took out a red box from the inside.
It was a big fluffy red heart-shaped box. The first time Xu Rongrong saw it, he knew what it was.
Although she doesn't know what Wen Shanshan wants, Ah Nuan is her biological daughter. She will only be nice to Ah Nuan and will not treat him badly.
So, after hesitating for a while, Xu Rongrong walked out with the big red heart-shaped box, came to the dining table, and placed it in Wen Shanshan's left palm.
"Here it is, Shanshan." She whispered.
"Thank you, Rongrong." Wen Shanshan thanked her in a low voice, then raised her head and looked at A Nuan, "A Nuan, come here."
Ah Nuan was stunned for a moment, then turned her gaze to Xu Rongrong. When Xu Rongrong nodded to her, she slowly walked over.
When Wen Shanshan saw this scene, her heart hurt.
Her daughter.
However, when she saw Ah Nuan's smiling face, the stinging pain disappeared completely. Wen Shanshan took the box in her hand and put it in Ah Nuan's hand, "A Nuan, this is what I gave to you.
It’s a wedding gift. When you get married, you can ask your husband to wear this thing for you. This should be regarded as a meeting gift from your godmother."
Ah Nuan was young and didn't know the concept of expensive or inexpensive, but she subconsciously felt that this thing was very important to Shanshan's mother, so she hesitated whether to accept it.
Next to him, Xu Rongrong twitched the corner of his mouth, "Shanshan, just keep your things. Ah Nuan is still young and is early."
"No, this thing is very precious. I want to give it to An Nuan. An Nuan, you have to keep it well. This is what I give to you." Wen Shanshan smiled, with a trace of sadness at the corner of her mouth, as if she was saying goodbye to something.
I will leave the things you gave me to your daughter, and then we will owe nothing to each other.
After getting Xu Rongrong's nod, Ah Nuan finally returned to her seat with the big heart-shaped red box. The little girl looked at the pile of gifts behind her, looking very excited and happy.
"Today is Ah Nuan's happiest day. Ah Nuan has never seen so many gifts in her whole life." Little Ah Nuan's careless words made many people feel heartbroken and almost burst into tears.
Xu Rongrong felt that the atmosphere was a little sad, so he picked up his chopsticks and said to everyone, "Everyone, hurry up and eat. After all, Sister Ming has worked hard for several hours, so you should eat quickly. Some dishes will not taste good when they are cold."
"
"Yes, it has been dark outside for a long time. We are indeed hungry. Let's eat quickly." At this time, Zhan Yiyang, who had been silent, also spoke.
After all, he is the head of the family, so he still has some weight. As he spoke, everyone began to eat.
Because today is Ah Nuan's birthday, everyone takes special care of Ah Nuan, giving her whatever she likes to eat. However, Xu Rongrong also has to take care of the woman next to him who can only eat with her left hand, so Ah Nuan mainly relies on Bai Yi to take care of her.
Seeing Bai Yi diligently picking up food for Ah Nuan and asking after her, Xu Rongrong and Wen Shanshan looked at each other and smiled secretly.
"Daughter-in-law." Xu Rongrong took a bite of the ribs, and then said these three words with a sigh.
Wen Shanshan immediately retorted, "Son-in-law."
"Eat the spareribs on your fork. You are eating with your left hand and you are still nagging." Xu Rongrong pretended to glare at Wen Shanshan, then stood up and picked up a sparerib for Wen Shanshan.
She found that Wen Shanshan seemed to like eating spareribs.
