After the four of them had agreed on the matters, they lay down on the bed, each with their own thoughts.

They had no appetite for food, so they returned to the dormitory early, while other workers in the dormitory had not returned yet.

After lying down for about an hour, Zhou Maoxue suddenly felt something was wrong.

He patted the bed frame, waking up the person on the upper bunk.

The guy on the upper bunk leaned down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why are there only a few of us in the room today? Where are the others?"

The guy on the upper bunk was a little confused: "Yeah, where did everyone go?"

"I'm asking you!"

"have no idea."

Zhou Maoxue propped himself up, his mind full of confusion.

At this time of day, many people come here with food to listen to their lectures.

But today, I didn’t see anyone.

Could it be that there was an event but they were not notified?

"Hey, why are you worrying about that? We'll leave tomorrow. Just wait for them to come back and say goodbye. Just take a rest." The guy on the upper bunk muttered.

Zhou Maoxue thought about it and felt it made sense, so he turned over and lay back down.

I don't know how much time passed, but it was already dark.

No one turned on the lights in the room, and it was still pitch black.

In the darkness, Zhou Maoxue opened his eyes and asked, "Are you guys asleep? Why haven't they come back yet? Did something happen? Why don't we go out and take a look?"

"Okay, let's go and take a look." The other three said in unison.

The other three people were getting more and more anxious as they waited. Today's situation was indeed a bit weird.

It seemed as if the four of them were isolated.

They hit it off immediately. Zhou Maoxue lit the oil lamp, held it in his hand and prepared to go out with the other three.

But at this moment!

There was a loud noise and the door was suddenly pushed open.

Zhou Maoxue and others were so frightened that the oil lamp fell to the ground.

But there is still a fire burning in front of me...

Zhou Maoxue looked pale as he looked at the eerie face illuminated by the firelight from bottom to top and screamed, "Su Tian, ​​Lao Tian?"

The wrinkles on Su Tian's face were made even deeper by the light. He smiled grimly when he heard his call: "Xiao Zhou, have you changed into new clothes?"

There were so many people behind him, rows of big teeth were vaguely floating...

Zhou Maoxue and the others took several steps back, pointed their trembling hands at Su Tian, ​​"What...what do you want to do?"

Black factory! The black factory won’t let me leave?

Seeing this, Su Tian straightened his back and glanced around: "Oh, why is this room so dark? Who can turn on the light?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone went to find oil lamps. Several oil lamps were lit, and the room became much brighter.

Only then did Zhou Maoxue see clearly Lao Tian and the dozen or so people behind him.

There are many other roommates in my dormitory, and they are all the people who come to visit frequently.

Lao Tian was holding a cake with two candles on it.

Zhou Maoxue was still in shock and asked, "Old Tian, ​​what do you want to do?"

Old Tian was also stunned: "What are you doing? Isn't it your birthday today? Celebrating your birthday is a welfare benefit in our factory."

"My birthday?...Yes, it's my birthday." Zhou Maoxue was in a daze for a moment, then he remembered that he had left a fake birth date when he entered the factory, and it seemed to be today.

Su Tian put the cake on the table and scratched his head: "Aren't you wearing new clothes? Come on, there are some fun things today, all from the brothers."

Zhou Maoxue swallowed his saliva, feeling much more at ease. He looked at the strange thing on the table and asked, "What is this?"

Su Tian smiled proudly: "You haven't seen it, have you? This is a custom-made thing called a cake! You know, I heard it's made from a secret recipe passed down from the Jianye Marquis's Mansion, and it uses all the best stuff, such as milk, sugar, refined flour, etc. I heard it's very soft."

"Look, there are words written for you on it."

Zhou Maoxue leaned over to take a look, and his expression suddenly froze.

The eight characters on it are [May you be blessed as vast as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains. ]

Such a blessing was obviously a little too early for him, but the crooked handwriting really moved him.

It's obvious that these words were written by illiterate people. People who can write cannot write such ugly words.

"Thank you all, I accept your kindness." Zhou Maoxue stood up and bowed respectfully.

He raised his head and asked, "This cake uses precious ingredients. Who paid for it and how much did it cost?"

Su Tian waved his hand indifferently and said, "Oh, there aren't many people. This is all trivial. You can eat first."

"No, I need to know what you guys are thinking. How much is it?" Zhou Maoxue said again.

What is his standard of living? Can these workers pay for his meals?

Su Tian smiled awkwardly: "Look, you are really... In our factory, everyone is given two taels of silver for their birthday. This cake was bought for you by your co-workers with their own money. It's not easy for you to teach everyone, so we tried to collect money to make it better for you. Money is not important... You blow out the candles. I heard that the host has to blow out the candles."

"How much?!" Zhou Maoxue suddenly raised his voice, "Did you get your money from the wind?"

Two taels of silver? That was a worker's monthly salary. Even if it was collected by many people, it was still too much!

"Hey, eat it quickly! I heard that this thing will melt!" Su Tian impatiently pulled him to the chair, "Hurry up and blow it!"

Zhou Maoxue sighed and blew hard, blowing out the two poor candles.

A worker immediately pulled out the candle and carefully put it under the bed.

Su Tian took out a pair of chopsticks with a smile and put them into Zhou Maoxue's hands: "Eat it, you are the teacher giving lectures to everyone, this is all our kindness!"

Looking at the expectant eyes around him, Zhou Maoxue silently took the chopsticks, picked up a small piece, and sipped it.

A sweet and smooth feeling slowly spreads in the mouth...

"Good!" Applause suddenly rang out in the house.

"Is it delicious?" Su Tian swallowed his saliva. Many workers behind him came over at the same time, with anticipation on their faces.

You can tell this thing is delicious just by looking at its appearance.

It's a pity that I don't even dare to think about it. Now it would be nice to see real people's evaluation...

Zhou Maoxue looked at Su Tian, ​​then at the group of dull-witted workers.

My nose felt sore and my eyes turned red.

"Good...delicious, you all eat, all eat." He quickly pushed the cake over.

Without saying a word, he took the chopsticks and cut the cake into many small pieces.

Seeing that no one dared to move, the three candidates went up and took a small piece each, putting it in their mouths to taste.

Seeing that someone had taken action first, Su Tian and others did not hesitate and began to move forward to get the cake.

Soon, a series of clicking sounds were heard.

"Oh, this is so sweet and fragrant! No wonder it's so expensive!"
