Lin Lu didn't know what exactly happened and didn't know what to say.

Song Chen went into the kitchen to take a look, then came out and called out, "It's time to eat."

It was cool outside, so we moved the table outside, brought out all the dishes and arranged them, and then we could start eating.

There were fifteen people in total, and they had to put two tables together to have enough space for them to sit.

The dishes are very good, with chicken, duck, fish and shrimp, plus a few stir-fried vegetables and cold dishes, making a very rich table.

When shopping in the morning, Song Chen specifically bought beer and soda.

Some men actually prefer to drink homemade liquor.

Song Chen: "Children can only drink soda."

Shi Lei retracted his hand that was about to touch the beer bottle and chuckled: "I just want to taste what beer tastes like."

Li Xianglian gave him a bottle of soda: "Let's drink this. Beer is not tasty and smells like horse urine."

Shi Lei: "Grandma Lin, what does horse urine smell like?"

The four children looked at her in unison.

Li Xianglian: “…”

"It doesn't taste good anyway."

Lin Lu: "If you want to drink, you can try some, but you can only drink half a cup at most."

Shi Lei was eager to try: "Really, Teacher Lin? Then I'll have half a cup."

Xia Ye pushed the cup over and shrank his neck: "Me too."

The beer was in Lin Lu's hands. She took control and poured half a glass for both of them: "If it doesn't taste good, you can just pour it out. Youwei, do you want some?"

Wang Youwei sniffed the wine in Shi Lei's glass and said, "I don't want it."

Seeing that the two of them wanted it, Song Nan was eager to try it too: "Aunt Si, I want to try it too."

Lin Jingbei had tasted it before and didn't like the smell of the wine, so he just took the soda.

Before starting to eat, Lin Lu picked up his cup and said, "Let's all wish Lin Jingbei a happy birthday."

Although no one had seen such a fancy gesture before, they all followed her and said, "Happy birthday, Xiaobei!"

Song Chen nudged his son and said, "Xiaobei, you should also toast everyone and say a few more words."

What could Lin Jingbei, suddenly concerned about, say? He simply said, "Thank you, everyone."

Then, he finished a glass of soda in one gulp.

Li Xianglian's eyes wrinkled as she sighed, "It's been a blink of an eye and I'm already twelve. When I was born, I was only this small."

Mrs. Song echoed: "That's right, he cried so loudly on the day he was born."

Lin Changchun: "In two years he'll be a grown-up man."

Song San's wife joked, "Uncle and aunt, what medicine did you give Xiaobei? Give my Songnan some too. The two brothers are only a few months apart in age, but Jingbei is a head taller than her."

Lin Jingbei's growth rate is partly inherited from his father Song Chen, and the other part may be because he ate better when he was a child.

Although his parents were not around, they would send him a lot of good things every month. Li Xianglian even kept the food sent to the two old people for him.

How can I not grow taller?

Song Nan, like his father, became the shortest among his brothers.

"I mixed some pig feed into it. Go back and give some to Xiaonan." Li Xianglian said.

"Grandma Lin, is this true? Is Brother Bei so smart because he eats pig feed?" Shi Lei asked.

"Hahahaha" the adults were amused by him.

Wang Youwei complained: "He is smart because he has eaten pig feed. You must have eaten a lot of it since you are so stupid."

Xia Ye agreed: "Indeed."

Shi Lei: "Isn't this just to liven up the atmosphere?"

No more abstractions.

After laughing, Lin Changchun said, "Everyone, help yourself to the food. Don't be shy. If you can't get the food, stand up and grab some."

The men talked about the brick factory, the women talked about the orchard, and the children talked about martial arts novels.

The yard is very lively.

The moon hangs high in the distant sky, like a super flashlight, and the stars are like a silver sea. When the wind and waves surge, they cast a brilliant starlight.

After dinner, the women cleaned up the dishes and the men cleaned the yard.

The part that the children were most looking forward to finally began at 8:30.

Under everyone's "attention", Song Chen moved the birthday cake out of the well room. Lin Lu instructed Lin Jingbei to put twelve small candles on it and light them.

"After we turn off the lights, let's sing Happy Birthday together."

The rural people had never seen such a new style before, and had never heard how to sing the birthday song.

Fourteen pairs of eyes were fixed on her.

Lin Lu: "I'll teach you all to sing it once."

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you."

"After singing it twice, Jingbei closes his eyes and makes three wishes. After that, blow out the candles and you can share the birthday cake."

I didn't teach them to sing the English part because I knew no one would remember it. It was just a form, so I was too lazy to teach it.

"good."

"Understood."

Shi Lei and Wang Youwei were taking classes at her place, so when they heard Lin Lu's question, they subconsciously answered loudly.

She explained it simply and clearly, so no one else could understand it.

After singing the birthday song according to the steps, the group urged, "Jingbei, make a wish quickly."

Lin Jingbei felt like he was being carried around by Lin Lu the entire night. Obviously, this kind of occasion would make him very embarrassed, but he couldn't help but be moved by this birthday party specially held for him.

A birthday party that no one else had.

He will be the child that everyone envies.

He hoped her leg would heal.

He hoped she would always be as good as she is now.

He hopes that their family is well.

"Okay, you can blow out the candles."

Blow out the candles and turn on the lights.

Song Chen distributed cakes to everyone.

The first piece was given to Lin Jingbei, the second piece was given to Li Xianglian, then to the children, and then to several adults.
