"Oh, I've received it." Grandpa Li returned to normal in a second, "Then I'll be fine now."
"You really are..." Lu Ziyi was at a loss for words, "You're just like an old child."
Grandma Li smiled and said slowly: "Eighteen years old is another new starting point in life, and the third year of high school is also a year of hard work, so grandpa and grandma wish you academic success and all the best in the future."
"Okay, we got it." Lu Zixiao stood up and hugged the kind old lady.
"Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Grandma." Lu Ziyi also returned the hug.
"Let's open Xiaobao's gifts first, one by one. Third brother and I will be the last to open them," Lu Jiaming said. "Big brother and second brother, the two largest gift boxes on the table are prepared by Xiaobao. Come and have a look."
The gift boxes had their names written on cute little stickers. Lu Zixiao and Lu Ziyi opened their respective gift boxes and found five Q-version clay figurines of themselves inside.
Lu Zixiao asked in surprise, "Xiaobao, did you do all this?"
"Yes," Xiaobao introduced them with sparkling eyes, "I asked my third and fourth brothers to help me find a lot of old photos. I made these five little figures based on the images of my eldest and second brothers when they just learned to walk, in kindergarten, in elementary school, in junior high school, and now."
"They look quite similar, don't they?"
"It's exactly like them, very similar, and very cute," Lu Ziyi said softly, "But Xiaobao, how did you learn this technique?"
"I asked my fifth brother to accompany me to the clay shop every day to learn. I paid him tuition," Xiaobao said with a smile, "I went there secretly when you were not at home, hehe."
"You clever little ghost!" Lu Ziyi scratched his nose lovingly. "Thank you, Xiaobao. I like it very much."
"What about big brother?" Xiaobao looked at Lu Zixiao.
"I like it very much too, I will definitely keep it as a treasure," Lu Zixiao said with a smile, "Besides that, I am also very pleased that our little treasure is so smart and can do so well in just a few days."
The little guy suddenly laughed even more happily.
"It's my turn next." Lu Yuxuan eagerly handed them two small wooden boxes, "Big brother, second brother, open them quickly."
"What is this?" Lu Ziyi opened it first. "Is this... an amulet?"
"Yes," Lu Yuxuan said, "Just after the holiday, my classmate told me that there is a temple in Ningyang City that is said to be very effective. I didn't believe it at first, but later I looked it up and found that many people's wishes have been fulfilled."
"So after deciding to give you birthday presents, I went there with my classmates. There were really a lot of people there, both locals and those from other places. Some of them wished for a happy family, and some hoped their children would become successful. Seeing the pious expressions on their faces, I suddenly wanted to believe."
At this point, Lu Yuxuan scratched his head embarrassedly: "Then I made a wish... Big brother, take out the note inside the amulet."
The two did as they were told and opened it to find that it was actually just a piece of paper.
It's just that it's full of different fonts, and everyone wrote the same sentence, starting with Xiaobao's childish handwriting.
Peace throughout life.
