Chapter 278 You are the birthday boy/girl
Xiao Tiantian's birthday was a grand affair, at least among children his age.
Most other children's birthdays consist of a bowl of noodles with an egg, and maybe one more dish they like on the table.
Xiao Tiantian's birthdays are never celebrated casually; everyone takes them very seriously.
Well, Xiaotian is almost ten years old now, so she can't be considered a child anymore.
On the morning of his birthday, as soon as Xiao Tiantian opened his eyes, he saw the new clothes that Yao Shula had prepared for him. The children's clothes that had just arrived at the department store had Xiao Tiantian's favorite airplane pattern on them.
Little Tian chuckled, put on her new clothes, and admired herself for a while in front of the dressing mirror in the wardrobe, twisting and turning from side to side.
Wow, my older sister has such good taste! The clothes she buys are so beautiful!
Yao Shuli groggily opened her eyes and quickly rubbed them when she saw Xiao Tiantian, who had already changed her clothes.
"I bought you a pencil case. Do you like it? If not, you can keep it and give it to someone else." After saying that, Yao Shuli turned her head to prepare to take a nap.
Xiao Tiantian was extremely satisfied with the pencil case with a little airplane pattern placed next to her schoolbag.
There are gifts! My second sister asked my cousin Yamin to bring back a set of notebooks yesterday, my brother Shuli bought me a pencil case, and my cousin Yamin bought me a hat.
Grandma made herself two new pairs of shoes.
My sister-in-law and cousins gave me red envelopes...
Hehe, the eldest sister bought herself a new outfit!
Little Tian looked at herself in the mirror again and again with pride. The clothes her older sister bought fit perfectly and looked great. It would look even better if she tied a red scarf around her neck.
"My older sister has such good taste!" Xiao Tiantian said proudly again.
Yao Shuli turned over and covered her head with the blanket.
In this way, Xiao Tiantian would say it every few days, and he had gotten used to it.
Even if the older sister gives Xiaotian a piece of burlap, Xiaotian will still say, "The older sister must have her own plans. Look how nice this burlap piece is..."
...
For breakfast, Yao Shula bought soy milk and fried dough sticks, and everyone's bowl also had an egg. Xiao Tiantian's bowl had two eggs.
Today is Sunday. Xiao Tiantian wore the new clothes Yao Shula bought for him and walked around outside to let everyone know that it was his birthday before happily returning home.
The lunch was ordered from Zhong Xiaochun's restaurant. Zhong Xiaochun had four cold dishes and six hot dishes delivered.
Yao Shula then cooked two more hot dishes herself.
The people who came to eat included Yao Shula's family, Miao Yamin and Zhou Ping'an from next door, Yao Chunian and Qiangqiang who sold peanuts in front, and Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin who came from out of town.
The two not only brought gifts for Xiaotian, but also for Gu Xiaoman on behalf of Xiaotian, and for both families' grandfathers.
Secretary Lei originally said he would take Tiantian to the county where he works to celebrate her birthday, but Tiantian refused.
Xiao Tiantian said he knew his dad was very busy, and he couldn't let his birthday affect his dad's work. He said his older sister would take care of him, and she would definitely celebrate his birthday with him.
Secretary Lei suddenly felt that his son had grown up and become sensible...
Of course, Secretary Lei still brought over the birthday gift he bought for Tiantian.
...
Yao Shula borrowed a round table from Zhong Xiaochun's restaurant, which was just enough to seat ten people.
All the dishes were laid out on the table, and in the center was a birthday cake that Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin had specially brought for Xiaotian from Shanghai.
"Tian Tian, make a wish!" Lei Jingwu smiled as he looked at little Tian Tian, who had grown up a lot.
Xiao Tian hummed in agreement and was about to close her eyes to make a wish when she suddenly remembered something.
He glanced at everyone present, then suddenly said, "What are your wishes? Tell me your wishes! I'd like to hear everyone's wishes!"
Everyone was taken aback at first, and then they all laughed.
"Sister Yamin, you go first!" Xiao Tiantian smiled at Miao Yamin.
"Me? I hope life goes smoothly, everyone is happy, my students are obedient and studious, and they don't give me any trouble. I also hope that Grandma and Grandma live to be a hundred years old! But today, I just hope that we can be happy every day." Miao Yamin pinched Xiao Tiantian's cheek.
Xiao Tiantian nodded, then looked at Yao Chunian, "Where's Sister Chunian!"
"I hope all of you little ones can grow up happily, safely, and healthily, and I also hope my Qiangqiang can be as smart as Tiantian and Shuli," Yao Chunian said with a smile.
Xiao Tiantian nodded, then looked at Yao Shuxin. "Second Sister, what about you?"
"You all need to be well, and eldest sister needs to be especially well! We are family forever!" Yao Shuxin said with a smile.
"Where's Brother Shuli?" Xiao Tiantian looked at Yao Shuli again.
"Grow up quickly, become an adult, so you can protect your sisters and Tiantian," Yao Shuli said seriously.
Xiao Tiantian chuckled and then looked at Yao Shula.
"Big sister, what about you?"
"Me? My wish is that you can all live the life you want, a life filled with happy things, and that all bad things stay away from you."
You will all be successful in the future and become useful people.
The eldest sister hopes that those she cares about, and those who care about her, will have a smooth and successful life.
"That completes all of Big Sister's tasks!" Yao Shula smiled at Xiao Tiantian.
Everyone at the table had the same thought: Yao Shula only had her younger siblings in her heart!
Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin sighed. When will Yao Shula ever think about herself?
Little Tian nodded very seriously.
"Don't worry, big sister, we'll definitely make something of ourselves."
After saying that, Xiao Tiantian looked at the birthday cake with lit candles and prepared to make a wish.
Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin...
They haven't even mentioned their wishes yet! How come Xiao Tiantian has completely ignored them?!
...
Xiao Tiantian closed his eyes and began to make a wish, silently reciting it in his heart.
"I hope everyone's wishes come true and that everyone has the best life."
Also, you must bless your eldest sister and find her the best partner, someone whose heart and eyes are only for her.
My eldest sister has suffered so much these past years. We must never let her live a hard life again. We must all be happy for the rest of our lives.
And also... tell my older brother not to be so stupid, and not to always talk to my older sister about his studies.
We can talk more about going to the movies and strolling around together. It would be even better if we could talk about how to have children.
As for my cousin… let him and my older brother earn more money and have fewer girlfriends!
After making his wish, Xiaotian opened his eyes and blew out the candle.
"Tian Tian, what did you wish for?" Yao Shula asked.
"I wish everyone would be well! Big sister, I'm cutting the cake! The first piece is for you!" Xiao Tiantian handed the first piece of cake to Yao Shula.
...
Everyone's wishes were good, and Xiaotian had a happy birthday.
To everyone's surprise, the day after Xiaotian's birthday, Yao Shula suddenly developed a high fever that wouldn't go down, and she became delirious.
This startled everyone.
