Chapter 487 Secret Love 27
When Song Zhiyuan got home, her parents had already prepared a table full of food.
Before she sat down, Song Zhiwei pulled Shen Jingmo over.
Song Jin explained, "Jing Mo's parents are not at home, come over and eat together, it will be more lively when there are more people around for a birthday."
Shen Jingmo's eyes flickered as he glanced at her, his hands tucked into his pockets, constantly clenching the gift he had prepared.
Just as he was hesitantly preparing to take the gift out of his pocket, Song Jin's voice came from the kitchen, "Jing Mo, go wash your hands first. The meal will be ready soon."
"At first I didn't know your parents weren't home, so I didn't prepare your favorite meal. You can tell me what you like to eat, and I'll prepare it for you."
It was true that Shen Jingmo often came to Song Zhiwei's house. At that time, his uncle and aunt were not at home, and there were only the three of them.
Shen Jingmo couldn't help but become reserved now, his eyes swept across the dinner table with restraint, "Uncle, don't bother, I'm not picky about food, I like to eat everything."
"What kind of children should eat? Unlike my two children, they always dislike it." Song Jin brought the stir-fried vegetables to the table and gently touched Shen Jingmo's head, "Go wash your hands."
"Okay." Shen Jingmo walked towards the bathroom skillfully.
As he passed by the living room, Shen Jingmo glanced at the gifts piled on the coffee table.
Some of these gifts were given by classmates, but most of them were given by elders in my family.
Shen Jingmo looked around like a thief, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly took out the gift from his pocket and put it together with the pile of gifts.
Compared with the gifts given by others, his gift was small and worthless. It could not even be found among the gifts unless you looked carefully.
Shen Jingmo lowered his eyes and walked forward, stuffing his gift into the gap between the pile of gifts.
Song Zhiyuan came down from upstairs and happened to meet Shen Jingmo's eyes, "Jingmo, why are you here?"
The caught Shen Jingmo opened and closed his mouth for a long time to explain, "I saw that the new Phalaenopsis orchid that my uncle bought looked nice, so I came to take a look."
Song Zhiyuan didn't even notice the new Phalaenopsis orchid in the backyard.
Her mother likes to grow flowers, but every time she buys flowers, she can't take good care of them and they die within a month. Later, in order to make these plants live longer, her father specially consulted an agricultural college scholar.
Later, they changed from buying flowers to buying a plant every year for their wedding anniversary.
After my dad asked for advice on how to raise them, the plants all grew very well.
"I didn't expect Jingmo also likes flowers." Song Zhiyuan was quite surprised. After all, not many children of this age like flowers and plants. They like animals more.
“My mother likes to grow flowers.”
But that was a few years ago. Ever since my sister had a miscarriage, my mother's personality changed drastically and she lost all the pets we kept at home.
"It's time to eat, Jingmo, go wash your hands first." Song Zhiyuan urged Shen Jingmo to go wash his hands, and then went to the kitchen with Song Zhiwei to help serve the dishes and rice.
The whole family sat happily at the dining table, talking and laughing while eating.
Shen Jingmo looked at their harmonious atmosphere with a little more envy.
Song Jin picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Shen Jingmo's bowl. "Jingmo, just treat your uncle and aunt's house as your own. Don't be embarrassed and eat more."
"Thank you, uncle." Shen Jingmo hurriedly thanked him.
Song Zhiwei spit out the bones and said vaguely, "Eat more. My dad's cooking is super delicious. It's no worse than that of a five-star hotel."
"The food uncle cooks is really delicious. Can I learn to cook from him in the future?" Shen Jingmo blinked and looked at Song Jin.
"Sure, but why did Jingmo want to learn cooking from his uncle?" Song Jin asked casually.
He glanced at Song Zhiyuan, then lowered his head and said, "I want to make it for my mother."
"Jing Mo is so filial. Come and learn from your uncle during the holidays." Song Jin and Tao Ran squeezed out time to come back and celebrate their daughter's birthday this time.
When the children are in school, the two of them are out working almost every day. During the winter and summer vacations, they take turns giving up work and staying at home with the children.
After dinner, Shen Jingmo took the initiative to help clean up the table.
Song Jin took out the cake he had bought long ago from the refrigerator and placed it on the dining table.
Song Zhiwei excitedly lit candles on the side, and did not forget to happily command, "Chen Jingmo, go turn off the lights."
Shen Jingmo trotted to turn off the lights.
The room was instantly plunged into darkness, with only the flickering candlelight on the dining table as the family sang Happy Birthday to Song Zhiyuan.
After the singing, Song Zhiyuan made a wish and blew out the candles.
Song Zhiwei came over and asked quietly, "Sister, what wish did you make?"
"Don't you know that wishes won't come true if you say them out loud?" Song Zhiyuan distributed the cake to his parents first, and then to Chen Jingmo and Song Zhiwei.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when we finished celebrating Song Zhiyuan's birthday.
Shen Jingmo hurried home.
Song Zhiwei also worked as a laborer to carry the gifts upstairs, while Song Zhiyuan sat at the head of the bed and opened the birthday gifts sent by everyone.
In order to make it easier to carry, Song Zhiwei stacked the gifts according to their size and carried them upstairs.
A very small gift box was placed on the top layer of the gift box. The outer layer of the gift box was wrapped with a blue ribbon and a bow was tied at the top.
Song Zhiyuan carefully untied the bow and placed an astronaut in a space suit on the raffia.
The astronauts were standing on a spacecraft with tiny stars painted on it.
The clay sculptures are small and exquisite, and even the coloring is unique.
Seeing Song Zhiwei coming in with a gift, she said lazily, "Do you know who sent this gift?"
"I don't know." Song Zhiwei came forward to take a look. "It's small and doesn't look very valuable. I can tell at a glance that it must have been given to you by your classmate."
The gifts their adults sent were big, heavy, and valuable.
Maybe.
She had no idea who had given her the gift.
She placed the little astronaut in a prominent place on her desk.
It was already late at night when I finished packing the gifts, but luckily I didn’t have classes the next day.
The next day, before dawn, Tao Ran and Song Jin hurried back to the crew to switch on the switch, leaving only the two siblings at home.
Having slept late yesterday, Song Zhiwei got up early today. Before he had time to eat breakfast, he heard a hurried knock on the door.
Who would run to someone else's house so early in the morning?
For fear of waking up his sister upstairs, Song Zhiwei hurried to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Chen Siyuan was seen standing outside the door wearing a gray baseball jacket, holding a gift box and a packing bag in his hands.
Song Zhiwei frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Chen Siyuan spoke first, "Is your sister home?"
Song Zhiwei was about to say he wasn't home when Song Zhiyuan's voice came from upstairs, "Who's that, Xiaowei?"
"Your classmate." Song Zhiwei had no intention of inviting the other party into his home.
He stood straight in front of the door.
This time it was Song Zhiyuan who frowned suspiciously.
