Chapter 223 How to Train Your Dragon

In the morning, Lin Yiyi was woken up by a kiss from a man. She mumbled a few words sleepily. Zhao Sheng smiled and kissed her little ear, and then told her that it was time to get off work before letting her rest in peace.

After the man left, Lin Yiyi fell asleep again.

After the rainstorm, the sky was clear blue and the dazzling sunlight penetrated through the clouds and spread across the world.

The wind blew the leaves, making a rustling sound.

“Knock, knock…”

There was a knock on the door outside the house. Lin Yiyi was awakened and shouted outside, "Who is it?"

A babyish voice sounded, "Big sister, it's almost half past eight, the trumpet has started."

"......"

Lin Yiyi was a little confused, then she got up sleepily and turned on the radio.

Ever since we got a radio at home, we have been forced to use it in the morning and at noon after school holidays.

The children upstairs and downstairs will knock on the door at the exact time to urge you to turn on the radio.

Thinking that these kids were quite interesting and would help clean the dustpan under her stove, Lin Yiyi turned up the volume a little.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor and on the stairs, and the little ones ran back home to listen.

She lives on the second floor, and the house is not soundproofed so people on the third and first floors can hear everything.

After breakfast and washing up, I finished listening to the half-hour program.

Fearing that it would affect the children's studies, Lin Yiyi turned off the radio and went downstairs to the grocery store.

She originally wanted to go out by bike, but reality taught her a lesson.

The seat of the 28-inch bicycle was very high, and she had to tiptoe to touch the ground when riding it, which was really strenuous and did not look good.

It also rubs the crotch a bit.

Since it wasn't rush hour, Lin Yiyi took the bus.

Because today is Army Day, the streets and alleys are full of newly written slogans and quotations.

A large banner was also hung between the two sycamore trees on both sides of the road, saying something like "Great" and "Long live, long live."

The streets were filled with a festive atmosphere.

Because today is Zhao Sheng’s birthday, Lin Yiyi is preparing to celebrate for him.

I took out the snack tickets I had secretly saved and bought two small square cream cakes, which I stacked together to make a birthday cake.

In order to avoid crushing it, Lin Yiyi also brought a lunch box, wrapped it in oil paper and put it in carefully, and also bought two candles to add to the atmosphere.

Then I went to the farmer's market and bought pumpkin, grass carp, and two small crucian carp.

Prepare to boil crucian carp into soup as the soup base for longevity noodles.

There is only one stove at home, and cooking is slow, so I have to go to the canteen to get other meat dishes in the evening.

Coming home from the busy streets.

Lin Yiyi tied her hair into a ponytail, rolled up her sleeves and began to clean the cabinets, the tables, and tidy up the windowsill.

It saves you the effort of mopping the cement floor at home.

It was all done in less than half an hour.

The advantages of a small house are evident.

But no one except Lin Yiyi knew Zhao Sheng’s birthday.

Zhao Jun also remembered this, and during the lunch break he packed up the food from the canteen and sent it over.

When I arrived at the family compound, I heard my sister-in-law say that my cousin would not be at home at noon, so he left the meal and a bottle of rice wine in an IV bottle and went back to the textile factory.

With the three dishes sent by her cousin, Lin Yiyi only planned to roast a fish and make a bowl of longevity noodles in the evening.

Lin Yiyi had a quick lunch, took the quilt to the balcony to dry in the sun, and then went to the bathhouse with her toiletries.

I chose a time when there were not many people around, and after taking a shower and washing my hair, I started washing the small clothes.

She was afraid that others would stare at her body when there were many people around.

The biggest discussion was about how big she was, like a melon.

It makes people feel embarrassed, speechless and proud.

But now there are even more outrageous rumors.

"What's the point of having good looks? She's good-looking but useless. Those who got married around the same time as her are already pregnant. Look at her, her belly is flat, her waist is thin, and you can tell at a glance..."

"Hey, Aster, didn't it take you over a year to get pregnant?"

Being humiliated by her friend, Cui Ju curled her lips and said in a low voice: "Which side are you on? Don't you have any sense at all?"

"But she has really fair skin and is very pretty. When I came back last time, I saw the little dress she was wearing. It was so big that it almost popped out. It was blinding. Her man must be madly in love with her."

…

Lin Yiyi finished washing quickly, wrapped a towel around herself, and deliberately walked in front of the two female comrades. Yes, she just walked.

Then she proudly put on her clothes and left the bathhouse.

After she left, several women in the bathhouse rubbed each other's backs and started gossiping about her loudly.

The feminine little wife of a rough man in the transport team of Ze County Iron and Steel Plant.

Lin Yiyi didn’t know these people, but almost everyone in the factory knew her.

Wherever she goes, she is a hot word and topic.

After relaxing at home for an hour or two in the afternoon and listening to the radio program, Lin Yiyi started kneading dough to make handmade noodles.

She didn't have the skills to make a continuous noodle, so she just made simple hand-rolled noodles.

After the noodles are ready, start to cook the crucian carp soup. Fry both sides of the yellow crucian carp in oil, add hot water and boil for more than 10 minutes. The fish soup is ready.

Set aside and save for making soup base.

It’s time to get off work.

Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, Lin Yiyi wrapped her hair with a gauze scarf and started to make braised fish.

I’m afraid that the smell of oil smoke will fume my hair.

Heat oil in a pan, add onion slices, ginger slices, garlic cloves and dried peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the marinated fish, stir-fry both sides, add two chili sauces, then add water and cover the lid.

Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for ten minutes.

Lin Yiyi stood in the corridor and kept an eye on the situation in the yard. When she saw the man appear, she took out the braised fish and then boiled water to steam the three meat dishes in the lunch box.

Zhao Sheng could smell the fragrance of food in the yard before he went upstairs.

When I got home, I saw four main dishes on the small round table, rice wine, canned fruit, and a cream cake on a small plate.

After driving all day, Zhao Sheng was very happy to be able to have a sumptuous meal when he returned home. It felt good to have a home and a wife.

After he washed his hands, Lin Yiyi pulled him to sit at the table. Instead of handing chopsticks to the man, she smiled and asked, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"

“…”

What? Zhao Sheng was a little confused.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Yiyi glared at the man unhappily and said in a tender voice: "Today is your birthday, did you forget?"

Can he forget his own birthday? Or does he never celebrate his birthday?

Zhao Sheng froze. After a moment of distraction, there was a hint of surprise and expectation in his eyes. He asked in a gentle and uncertain voice, "So... you did all this... to celebrate my birthday?"

Lin Yiyi raised her chin with a proud look on her face, "Of course, I also prepared a gift for you, but you are not allowed to complain that it is ugly."

Gift?

Zhao Sheng looked calm and restrained. He took the oil paper package handed to him by Lin Yiyi and opened it carefully. He saw that it was a wooden rice spoon with two bull horns on the handle.

Her carpentry skills are really bad, and the horns are all different sizes.

Seeing that the man seemed to be very fond of keeping it carefully, Lin Yiyi felt a little proud.

Just a small handmade gift.

Wouldn’t he be moved to tears by the wish-making and candle-blowing segment afterwards?

After the man put the gift away and sat back at the table, Lin Yiyi looked into his deep eyes and smiled gently, speaking in an extremely gentle tone.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Zhao Sheng, and I wish you happiness every day in the future."

The woman had a soft voice and a charming smile, and the words she spoke made the man find warmth and light like a night walker in a snowstorm.

first.

Someone celebrated his birthday.

It was the first time someone told him they hoped he would be happy.

Zhao Sheng's dark eyes were filled with joy and tenderness. He scanned her expression and features one by one, then he stretched out his arms and hugged the woman whom he loved to the core tightly.

Embedded deep in my heart.

A few words are too simple.

He couldn't express a single bit of what was in his heart.

There was a slight lump in his throat, making it difficult for him to utter a word from his heart.

I can only recite her name thousands and thousands of times in my heart.

......

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

Strength and weakness.

Different but integrated.

After a while.

Lin Yiyi looked at the food on the table, and before it got cold, she gently pushed the man and said gently, "Eat first or it will get cold. The rice wine was sent by my eldest cousin. I tried a little and it's not bad."

How can we celebrate festivals and birthdays without wine?

Lin Yiyi drank rice wine as a drink, which was low in alcohol and tasted sweet. The men basically ate the meals.

Zhao Sheng looked at her face which was flushed from drinking, her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were like water, and every move she made was captivating.

He didn't say anything to stop her, but just smiled with deep eyes and clinked glasses with her.

Lin Yiyi drank a little too much rice wine from an enamel jar without realizing it and felt a little hot.

My cheeks are slightly hot and I feel a little tipsy.

He unbuttoned two buttons and opened the collar to drive away the heat.

Lin Yiyi thought that the man had not eaten the longevity noodles yet, and just as she stood up, she felt weak all over, and then she swayed and fell into the man's arms dizzy.

Later, I didn’t seem to blow out the candles or eat the birthday cake.

Then she felt too hot and kept licking and biting something all night, and then...she remembered nothing.

…

When Lin Yiyi woke up at noon the next day.

My whole body felt like I had been beaten up, my back and waist ached, and I didn’t know how the mosquito net disappeared.

The bamboo pole supporting the mosquito net was also broken and lying beside the bed.

Moreover, the sleeping position has also changed.

She sat up and saw dense red marks on her body. What did she do last night?
