"Honey, there are so many people."

The hotel has a small banquet hall that the Chen family always book for their birthdays, and they are very familiar with the hotel owner.

A young couple sitting on the lower right of the main seat were watching as people came in one after another through the door, each carrying a gift and calling out, "Happy birthday, Teacher Wu!"

These students were basically Professor Wu's most prized and last disciples.

Moreover, they are not concerned with status here.

Some people are still employees working 996 hours a day, but Professor Wu treats them all the same.

She never thought that this person had a higher status or that person had a higher position; her students all ate at the same table.

Chen Cixiu said in a low voice, "It seems like there are a lot of people this year. We've already set up four tables. In the past, it was only two or three tables."

"Do I need to get to know him?" Jiang Yu asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry about it. We won't have much interaction after we leave this place, and besides, this is their way of thanking Mom."

Chen Cixiu shook his head, but he would still greet these people, since he had known them since he was a child and called them senior brothers and sisters.

Then my family members arrived.

There were indeed four tables full; this was a very large birthday banquet.

There was a small stage, and Professor Chen was standing on it.

"Actually, we don't need to say anything extra. We know everyone's good intentions in coming today: to wish Professor Wu a happy birthday. Professor Wu told me that, like every year, everyone should eat and drink well, and those who want to go out can go out and have fun together..."

After Professor Chen finished speaking.

Jiang Yu said from below, "My parents' thinking is really ahead of its time. They actually planned something like this. It's just like when I was in school and went out to celebrate my birthday with my roommates."

"It's mainly to talk more; they haven't spoken in a long time."

Slap! Slap!

The father-in-law and mother-in-law tapped on the table, "Yuyu, be polite."

"It's alright, it's alright, we've already eaten, the children can talk as they please," Grandpa smoothed things over.

After dinner, Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu didn't go out to play. They went mainly because Ms. Liu Xian was also there and had extended a warm invitation.

Ms. Liu Xian readily agreed; it was a happy day.

How could I disagree?

However, Ms. Liu Xian wanted to take her daughter with her even though Jiang Yu wasn't going, but Professor Wu said they could go and have fun as they pleased.

Anyway, young people are different from middle-aged people like us.

My maternal grandparents also went back. They weren't the type to go to karaoke. As for my paternal grandfather, he definitely went straight there, no question about it.

The lives of young people, as portrayed by these middle-aged individuals, offer a unique and fascinating perspective.

Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu were both wondering if the same thing would happen when they arrived.

However, there are two people who are not going.

Just today, President Jiang and Professor Chen were talking about fishing.

Now things are really going well; the more they talk, the more excited they get.

So neither of them drank alcohol during their meal; they went fishing instead.

Do happy things on happy days.

Professor Wu wouldn't stop Professor Chen at this moment.

And the male students among them also wanted to go, so a large fishing group was formed.

When they arrived home, only Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu were there.

My maternal grandparents went back to their own home, which is in the old town area, and insisted on going back to live there.

Unable to refuse, Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu first escorted the two elderly people home before returning home with Jiang Yu.

After arriving home, the young couple raised their eyebrows.

"Come on, honey, let's get to work."

Jiang Yu was full of enthusiasm.

This was something the two of them had discussed beforehand.

It's probably difficult to have a proper conversation at a birthday party. With so many students coming to wish their teacher a happy birthday, they naturally want to have a good chat with their teacher.

So the two of them discussed that after the banquet, they would find an excuse to sneak back home, then decorate the house and give Professor Wu the gifts they had prepared.

Jiang Yu prepared two gifts. One was for her mother, Ms. Liu Xian. They have now met, and it's a great birthday gift for a fan to meet their idol.

The other one was an old book.

A genuine book from the Tang Dynasty.

She bought it when she found it interesting at the auction.

Chen Cixiu had not told her what Professor Wu liked, mainly because Chen Cixiu himself did not know what Professor Wu liked.

One reason is that Professor Wu would really like the gifts he gave her, and Professor Wu is not short of money, so she has never shown any particular liking for anything.

Therefore, Chen Cixiu really couldn't give a good answer.

Jiang Yu then thought of this ancient book.

This ancient book is not actually very valuable; it only has a little collectible value because it wasn't written by any famous person.

Jiang Yu originally wanted to buy other antiques, but later felt they were a bit tacky, so he chose this ancient book instead.

After everything was arranged, the two waited for Professor Wu to return.

About three hours later, Professor Wu and Ms. Liu Xian returned.

The two were chatting and laughing, and it was exactly 11:50.

When the light was turned on and they saw the scene before them, Professor Wu was stunned for a moment, and Ms. Liu Xian was also clearly stunned for a moment.

I never expected the two kids would come back so early for this.

Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu came out.

Jiang Yu first took out his old book and held it with both hands, saying, "Mom, happy birthday."

Professor Wu pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes. She walked over, took the ancient book, and hugged Jiang Yu. "My dear daughter, thank you. Mom is so happy that you can become part of my family."

“I’m also very happy to be part of your family.” Jiang Yu patted her back. “Mom, there’s also Cixiu.”

Chen Cixiu took out the box, opened it, and inside was a gold bracelet. "Happy birthday, Mom."

Although Chen Cixiu gives her a gift every year, Professor Wu has received the best gift this year. She accepted her son's gift and said, "Son, you have given your mother the best gift."

She held Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu's hands, saying, "As long as your little family is doing well, that's the best gift for Mom."
