While making dumplings, Hu Caiyun praised Zi Yan and then insulted Bai Ye.
Bai Ye didn't mind, but happily washed his hands and prepared to help.
Although my mother was rude, she was very proud in her heart, but she couldn't praise Bai Ye, right?
What does Zi Yan think?
Bai Ye smiled and felt a little happy at this moment.
It is also a happy thing to listen to my mother nagging me when I have nothing to do.
Seeing Bai Ye coming, Hu Caiyun said disgustedly: "Go and stay aside, we are doing a good job, you are making trouble. The dumplings you make are just steamed buns, look at her Zi Yan, tsk tsk, you might as well learn to read."
, and you did a good job in housework, look at how beautiful the dumplings are."
Bai Ye smiled and didn't know what to do, so he just sat on the sofa and started chatting with her.
When Li Ziyan heard Hu Caiyun praising herself and then insulting Bai Ye, she felt happy for no reason.
Because Bai Ye is so outstanding. He has achieved so much at such a young age, which would be a great achievement no matter where he is.
She witnessed the ribbon-cutting ceremony with her own eyes when the institute was launched that day. Even zl went there, which made her feel excited just thinking about it.
Bai Ye is only 25 years old, yes, he is only in his first year of graduate school.
But what he did was beyond what even a doctor could do, and even those academicians would be inferior in comparison.
Moreover, his students Moldo and Akamosna are world-renowned professors, experts and doctoral supervisors.
Bai Ye cannot be evaluated based on his academic qualifications.
So, it makes her feel a little distant.
But at this moment, it is really real to see that big boy who is being complained and teased by his mother at home, casually sitting on the sofa talking and laughing with himself.
She suddenly remembered what her father said: A man is a man who can stand upright outside and cook and sweep the floor at home.
No matter how great he is on the outside, he may be just an ordinary person at home. Without countless glamorous titles and achievements, he is just an ordinary person after all.
While the three of them were talking and laughing, the doorbell rang. Bai Ye stood up and opened the door, only to see Bai Donglin and Bai Ling coming back with cake boxes and some prepared dishes.
Bai Ye said curiously: "Today is my birthday? Isn't it?"
Li Ziyan on the side was suddenly stunned for a moment, and the rolling pin in his hand stopped.
Because she knows that today is her birthday!
But...she couldn't remember how many birthdays she had celebrated since she was a child. Her mother left early and her father was busy, so birthdays gradually faded away.
But...how would they know?
Thinking of this, Li Ziyan shook her head. Maybe she was overthinking it. Someone should share her birthday with her.
Thinking of this, Li Ziyan felt a little disappointed. Seeing this family of four reunited to spend their birthday together, her nose suddenly felt sour.
For her, money, power, beauty...etc. are not what she wants most.
All she wants is a safe and stable home, a perfect home.
She has never even seen her mother once she has grown up. Family love should be a luxury that she cannot afford.
Growing up, every time she saw other people's children's birthdays and the whole family gathering together to blow out candles, she would run away.
Other people's children get rewards and toys from their parents when they get 90 points on the exam, but every time when she gets 100 points and gets 90 points, she only gets a cold front door and a pre-ordered takeaway.
He understands that her father is busy, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't desire happiness.
………………
Bai Donglin smiled and cursed: "Go away, I didn't buy it for you, you little bastard, take your hands away."
Bai Ye smiled awkwardly: "I'll just take a look."
Bai Ling covered it and said with a smile, "I'll take a look later."
The dumplings had been cooked and placed on the table after being brought out, while Bai Donglin bought seven or eight hot dishes and cakes. If the table hadn't been big enough, there wouldn't have been room for so many things.
Hu Caiyun opened the cake and said with a smile: "25 years old, come on, put in the candles, 25 years old, come on Linger, put the candles in for your sister Ziyan."
Li Ziyan was stunned for a moment, was this really for herself?
She is not stupid, and she can naturally tell something from other people's tone of voice.
I saw 25 candles on the cake in front of me, and a chocolate sign with Happy Birthday facing me.
She was stunned for a moment...
Bai Ling chuckled: "Sister Ziyan, please blow out the candles quickly?"
Hu Caiyun also smiled and said: "That's right, Zi Yan, hurry up and make a wish and blow out the candles."
Bai Donglin coughed and said to everyone: "Come on, come on, let's sing together, I wish you a happy birthday."
Bai Ye finally understood that today is Zi Yan’s birthday!
Oh my God, where are the gifts?
Wouldn't it be troublesome to have no gift on his first birthday? Thinking of this, Bai Ye stared at Bai Donglin with anger in his eyes: "Old Bai, I don't want to cheat my son like this!"
Bai Donglin blinked and said, "What are you talking about?"
Bai Ye was helpless and failed in one move!
Li Ziyan listened to the birthday song ringing around her. For a moment, her tears flowed down and she couldn't stop it!
Seeing that the birthday song was finished, she put her hands on her chest to make a wish, and gently closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes were still glistening with tears, and little stars were twinkling.
After a while, she opened her eyes and blew out the candle in one breath.
Li Ziyan looked at the four people staring at her and said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you everyone."
At this time, Bai Donglin said: "It's your birthday today. Your father told me that he had to go out for an operation and had to go. Originally, he was supposed to be at your house today, but..."
"He asked us to help you celebrate your birthday. Look at your favorite celery dumplings, your favorite mousse cake, your favorite dishes... Lao Li told us all."
Lao Bai looked at Li Ziyan's tears that couldn't stop falling, and sighed: "Actually, Lao Li always feels that he owes you, but he can't express it. Every time he and I drink too much, he cries to me.
To be honest, he actually remembers every bit of you, every detail of your life, he clearly remembers everything in your life."
"Lao Li... I just can't say it out. He writes it all in this notebook. It's all what he wants to say to you. Every time you are unhappy, he writes a paragraph in it."
"Zi Yan, actually, your dad loves you very much!"
With that said, Bai Donglin handed a notebook to Li Ziyan.
Li Ziyan had already burst into tears. Hu Caiyun held her in his arms, comforted her gently, and helped wipe away her tears.
After about a few minutes, Li Ziyan held the notebook tightly in her arms, like a treasure.
Hu Caiyun smiled: "Okay, it's Zi Yan's birthday. I won't mention any unhappy things today. Come, let's have a glass of wine and wish Zi Yan a happy birthday!"
After toasting, Hu Caiyun took out a bracelet, handed it to Zi Yan, and said with a smile: "Here, this is a gift from aunt to you, Zi Yan. From now on, you will treat aunt as your relative. Come and accompany aunt if you have nothing to do."
like you!"
Li Ziyan nodded gratefully, and Bai Donglin also took out a box, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Zi Yan, uncle too, uncle likes daughters, but unfortunately the first one is his son. Come, this is what uncle gives to you.
one's gift."
Bai Ling smiled and said, "Sister Ziyan, I made this cake myself, so it can be considered a gift."
Bai Ye saw that he was coming, and he looked at a loss. At this moment, he felt someone patting him. When he turned around, he saw Bai Donglin stretching out a hand from under the table. It was a gift box.
Bai Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lao Bai's revolutionary friendship has not been broken yet!
He glanced at Bai Donglin gratefully and said with a smile: "Zi Yan, happy birthday!"
Bai Ye opened the box directly and saw a crystal clear pendant in front of him. It was not particularly valuable, but it was very beautiful, and most importantly, it matched Li Ziyan's temperament very well.
Li Ziyan originally wanted to refuse, but was discouraged by everyone and had to give up.
