"But he really wanted to cook, so we invited him over, along with his apprentice, who all had very good cooking skills."

The food arrived soon after.

Zhou Chao started to pick up a lot of food and put it on the plate in front of her. "Eat more. You're still so thin."

Lin Qiaoxin smiled helplessly, "Then you should eat more and become a big fat man."

Zhou Chaofa chuckled twice, "As long as you don't mind, I can eat anything I want."

Lin Qiaoxin immediately glared at him, her face slightly red, and then said, "This dish tastes really good, and the business will definitely be good."

"If you think it's good, then there will be no problem." Zhou Chaofa looked at her happily and said.

After dinner, the two of them strolled around the city before going back.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day.

Lin Qiaoxin was still busy with Huang early in the morning.

After a while, Lin Qiaoyun and the others got up and came to help. Strength lies in numbers, so the meal was ready by noon.

While eating, Huang looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't help but sigh, "Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. I'm another year older!"

Lin Qiaoxin couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, even in this situation, you still look so young and beautiful!"

Huang smiled embarrassedly, pursing her lips, "You are a child who is always good at coaxing me. We are old now, and you have all grown up."

"Qiaoxin, you'll be eighteen in a few months, right? Do you want to have a big celebration then?"

Lin Qiaoxin shook her head without hesitation, "Forget about the big event, there's no need. It's fine as long as our family can have a good time together."

Huang always listened to her, so she didn't object, but she also said, "That's fine, but when the time comes, call that kid Chaofa and his grandmother over too. It will be more lively with more people."

Lin Qiaoxin didn't think much about it and nodded, "Okay, it happens to be their summer vacation at that time, so they should have time to come over."

At night, the family went to the yard to set off fireworks. This year's fireworks were bought by her in the neighboring city. The fireworks were very big and brilliant, blooming with brilliant light in the night sky, which was very dazzling and beautiful.

It took about half an hour to finish.

Then the family returned to the living room and started watching TV.

This time, Lin Qiaoxin couldn't hold on and fell asleep early. When she woke up the next day, she found herself in the room.

When I got up and went to the living room, I found that Zhou Chaofa was there too.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, "Why are you here so early?"

"I thought you must be going somewhere else to pay New Year's greetings, so I came early." Mainly because I wanted to see her earlier, otherwise school would start again in a few days.

Afterwards, I invited him to have dinner at my home.

While they were eating, Huang looked at him and said, "Chao Fa, Qiao Xin's 18th birthday is coming in a few months. You and your grandma should come together then."

Lin Qiaoxin almost spit out her food when she heard this, "Mom, it's still early for my birthday." Why are you saying that at this time?

Of course Zhou Chaofa remembered it, but he didn't expect that he would be invited to dinner together. "Okay, don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely come when the time comes."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Qiaoxin, who was sitting next to him with a blushing face, his eyes full of smiles.

In the next few days, the family first went to grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then stayed at home to spend the winter.

Also, she teaches Lin Qiaoan to speak every day. Children at this age are the most fun, and Lin Qiaoan is very attached to her.

But when the weather gets warmer, she will be busy and won't have time.

Especially during the summer vacation, the cake shops will be extremely busy.

I was so busy that I even forgot that my birthday was coming.

That day, she returned home after finishing her work.

As soon as I entered the house, the lights in the house suddenly turned on with a click.

Lin Qiaoxin was startled. How could the light be on when there was clearly no one at home?

Thinking of this, I ran in quickly and found a large table of dishes on the table in the living room.

When he turned around, he saw Zhou Chaofa standing not far away. He immediately asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

It's a bit strange that they cooked such a large table of dishes at this late hour.

Seeing that she looked a little confused, Zhou Chaofa walked towards her, smiled and said, "You really forgot. Don't you even remember that today is your birthday?"

In an instant, Lin Qiaoxin remembered it and raised her hand to pat her head. Yes, it seemed that today was really her birthday!

The cake shop was too busy these days so I forgot about it.

He shook his head and smiled sheepishly, "I was so busy that I forgot."

"So, this is your surprise for me?"

At this time, Grandma Zhou came out of the kitchen carrying dishes, looked at her and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it's a surprise for you. Turning eighteen is no small birthday. Please don't be disgusted by the dishes I made!"

Lin Qiaoxin hurriedly shook her head, "How could I possibly dislike it? I'm so happy I can't wait."

Then everyone sat down to eat together, and after the meal, Huang brought out the cake.

"I made this cake myself. It's definitely not as delicious as yours, but it's a thoughtful gesture from me. You definitely have to make a wish on your birthday!"

“Mom, what you cook must be delicious.” He quickly put his hands together and made a wish.
