After that, Liu Manqiong said with some sadness: "Everything here is the same as before, except that they are old, I have grown up, and my mother is no longer here."
Seeing that she was a little melancholy, Ye Chen pretended to be relaxed and said: "My parents passed away very early. After they left, I became an orphan and lived in an orphanage for ten years. In comparison, you are still better than me.
Much happier."
"Are you an orphan?!" Liu Manqiong looked at Ye Chen in surprise, with a look of disbelief.
Ye Chen nodded and said: "Before I was eight years old, I was probably the happiest child in the world. I fell from the sky into a mud puddle overnight, and then I crawled and rolled in the mud puddle all the way until today.
Already."
Liu Manqiong exclaimed: "You are so young, and you can hold a key position in Esu Shipping, which proves that your personal ability is still very strong."
"Really?" Ye Chen suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Haha, it seems like that's all."
It was hard for him to tell Liu Manqiong that he was actually the boss with the largest shareholding in Esu Shipping.
At this time, many middle-aged people walked quickly towards the two of them with smiles on their faces.
The leader was surprisingly the same Uncle Nan just now. He was holding a big box in his hand, and he didn't know what was in it.
When everyone came to the two of them, Uncle Nan smiled and said: "Miss Manqiong, happy birthday!"
After saying that, Uncle Cheng beside him quickly opened the lid of the big box, and inside was a beautiful birthday cake.
Everyone also cheered together and said in unison: "Ms. Manqiong, happy birthday!"
Liu Manqiong was stunned and murmured: "Today is not my birthday... My birthday will come in more than ten days... Uncle Nan, Uncle Cheng, what on earth is going on?"
Uncle Nan smiled and said: "Miss Manqiong, today is the fourth day of April in the lunar calendar, and it is your birthday in the lunar calendar. You may not usually look at the lunar calendar, but we old guys, the first thing we do when we get up every day is to look through it.
Those who follow the almanac cannot remember the days in the solar calendar, but they can remember the days in the lunar calendar very clearly."
Liu Manqiong's eyes suddenly became moist, she covered her mouth and whispered softly: "I don't even know..."
Uncle Cheng said with a smile: "We have all been preparing for this a few days ago. We wanted to give you a little surprise. In the afternoon, we were worried that you wouldn't be able to come today. We didn't expect that you would bring your boyfriend with you.
coming."
Two lines of hot tears rolled down the corners of Liu Manqiong's eyes. This time she did not explain any more, but said with great gratitude: "Thank you everyone...Thank you..."
Uncle Nan and Uncle Cheng carried the cake and sang a birthday song in Cantonese: "I wish you a happy life and a happy birthday! Today is the same day every year, and today is the same day every year! Congratulations, congratulations to you
!”
Everyone who followed them applauded. Uncle Nan handed two candles and a box of matches to Ye Chen, and said with a smile: "Young man, Miss Manqiong turns 24 today, which is her birth year, so we have prepared it."
Two candles, please help Miss Manqiong light them!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, inserted the two candles, and then lit the candles.
Everyone quickly urged her to make a wish and blow out the candles.
Liu Manqiong glanced at Ye Chen, closed her eyes, acquiesced to a wish, and then blew out the candles under the witness of everyone.
Everyone cheered again, and then everyone served Liu Manqiong and Ye Chen a piece of their own specialty meal or snack, because each portion was very small. Uncle Cheng also said to the two of them: "We know Miss Manqiong."
I don’t like waste, so I prepare a very small amount for each portion. If there is not enough food, just ask and we will prepare more for you two!”
Liu Manqiong said with red eyes: "Thank you everyone for being so considerate and remembering my birthday..."
Uncle Cheng smiled and said: "This is all as it should be. Miss Manqiong, let me say something noble on behalf of everyone. In our eyes, you are just like our own daughter!"
After that, he quickly said to everyone: "Let's all leave, leave, and don't disturb Miss Manqiong's world of two people!"
