After the morning horse training session, Mu Zhaoyuan did not take Juanjuan to the Mu residence, but went directly to Sihua Jiayaozhai.
Jiang Dai and Bai Tian were already waiting at the door.
Mu Zhaoyuan lifted the child off the horse: "Alright, let's go find your parents."
Juanjuan nodded, thanked Mu Zhaoyuan, and then ran to her parents' side.
The child held his parents' hands on either side and asked, "Why did you come out to pick me up today, Mom and Dad?"
It wasn't that she never came to the restaurant for lunch before, but back then, her parents never waited for her at the door.
The couple, who had already prepared a surprise for their child, asked: "Can we say that?"
Bai Tian: "Isn't this because I want to roll it up?"
Jiang Dai: "Yes, I was worried that Juanjuan was hungry, so I quickly came out to pick her up."
Juanjuan skipped and hopped: "Let's go then."
The closer they got to the private room, the more nervous the three of them became.
Bai Tian: [I wonder if our little boss is ready! Today's surprise depends on him!]
Jiang Dai: [Hiss—I wonder if Juanjuan will like it!]
Juanjuan: I'm really curious about what Mom and Dad have prepared!
What exactly is inside that private room?
Although she already knew in advance that her parents were going to celebrate her birthday and that her second brother was going to give her a gift, Juanjuan really didn't know what surprises were in the private room and was still very curious.
So, the three equally nervous people stopped at the door of the private room.
After waiting for a while.
Juanjuan looked up at her father on the left, then at her mother on the right, and then looked at the door of the private room, asking a question that seemed to have a profound meaning: "Father, Mother, aren't we going in?"
The three older brothers who were always ready in the private room: ...
That's right! Why aren't you coming in?!
"Open the door, Juanjuan, let's go!"
Bai Tian gently nudged Juanjuan's shoulder, signaling her to open the door.
Juanjuan glanced back at her father, and after receiving confirmation, placed her hand on the door and applied slight pressure.
The door opened, and the child had just stepped inside when a loud "bang" was heard from the side.
Visibly, Juanjuan trembled in fright. Just as she was about to turn around to look, beautiful petals slowly drifted down from above and came into view.
Juanjuan looked up and saw that there was no rain of flower petals falling from the sky, but her brothers were holding a long wooden bucket, and it looked as if the flower petals were flying out of it with a "bang".
The private room was meticulously decorated, with a row of dolls on one side and several stacked boxes in the corner, also decorated with ribbons. A calligraphy scroll hung on the wall: Happy fifth birthday to little Bai Yunshu!
This was the first time Juanjuan had ever seen such a unique birth date, and she was truly stunned.
Jiang Dai's joyful voice came from behind: "Juanjuan! Happy birthday!"
Along with the blessings came a small box, a beautifully decorated box adorned with ribbons.
Bai Tian also chimed in with congratulations: "Little Bai Yunshu, you're five years old today! Happy birthday!"
The formal names that are not usually used at home are now being called out, emphasizing a more formal tone.
He handed Juanjuan a box, only a bit bigger than Jiang Dai's.
Happy birthday! You're another year older!
Bai Yunqi put down the "fireworks" in his hand and took out the gift he had prepared.
As for the principle behind this "fireworks"... there's no principle to it, it's just a decoration, mainly relying on spiritual power to blow up the petals inside.
Bai Yunxing: "May every year bring you joy and good fortune."
Bai Yun'an: "One gift for each year of age, one inch of joy."
Bai Yunqi: [Tsk tsk tsk, these two are truly ancient people; their flowery language is something I could never learn. My parents' version is much better—a simple and straightforward "Happy Birthday."]
The five boxes in front of her were of different sizes, but they all contained her family's best wishes.
Juanjuan looked at it and for some reason felt her eyes sting.
She subconsciously lowered her head, wanting to secretly wipe away her tears, but saw that her older brother seemed to have noticed her, bending down and tilting his head to look at her from below.
Bai Yunqi: "You're crying? Don't cry!"
Bai Yun'an silently handed over a handkerchief.
