Lan Feng pulled me in, and I saw that she had prepared a large table of dishes.
Lan Feng glanced at the dining table, smiled and pulled me over to sit down.
"When I heard Guoxu say you would be coming, I specially made a few extra dishes. Look, they're all your favorites. You're usually busy with work and never eat well, so you have to eat more tonight."
Lan Feng's words showed her concern for me, which gave me some comfort after being heartbroken by Tang Tianxiang.
I took out the gift I had prepared and handed it to Lan Feng: "Sister, happy birthday!"
"Thank you, Xiaoshan." Lan Feng took it with surprise, opened it and took a look, unable to hide her love for it.
I winked at Fang Guoxu, who immediately understood and said to Lan Feng, "Come, I'll help you put it on."
Fang Guoxu helped Lan Feng put on the necklace himself. Lan Feng kept taking pictures with her phone camera and showed off to Fang Guoxu: "Isn't it beautiful? My sister gave it to me!"
Fang Guoxu said with a smile: "I have prepared a gift as well."
He took out an exquisite little box, which also contained jewelry, a pair of silver earrings.
Fang Guoxu scratched his head embarrassedly. "Compared to what Xiaoshan gave me, this is too worthless. But don't worry, I will make more money in the future and buy you better jewelry."
Lan Feng's eyes turned slightly red: "I don't care about that! I like everything you give me."
As far as I know, Fang Guoxu gave his salary card to Lan Feng for management. Lan Feng would give him pocket money every month so that he could buy cigarettes and have dinner with his colleagues in the security team.
His pocket money was pitifully small, and the gifts he gave to Lan Feng were all saved from his own pocket.
At this moment, the whole room suddenly fell into darkness and we were all startled.
"Why did the power go out for no reason..." Fang Guoxu stood up and was about to check when the bedroom door was pushed open.
A faint light came on, Lan Feng looked over and covered her mouth in surprise.
Lan Xiaoyu walked out slowly with a cake in her hand, singing the birthday song.
Fang Guoxu smiled and urged Lan Feng: "Hurry up and make a birthday wish. Don't let your child down."
Lan Feng was deeply moved. She made a wish to the candle while Lan Xiaoyu was singing, and then blew out the candle.
Fang Guoxu went to turn on the lights. Lan Xiaoyu smiled and said to Lan Feng, "Mom! Happy birthday!"
This cake was carefully prepared by Lan Xiaoyu for Lan Feng, and she made it herself.
Lan Feng cut a piece for each person, picked up the fork and took a bite, her eyes narrowed with smiles: "Hmm. So sweet!"
Lan Feng ate the cake made by her daughter, her face filled with a happy smile.
The whole family celebrated my birthday together in a lively atmosphere. This long-lost warmth made me gradually relax.
After dinner, Fang Guoxu and Lan Xiaoyu rushed to wash the dishes, refusing to let Lan Feng, the birthday girl, do it.
Lan Feng and I sat in the living room, watching Fang Guoxu and Lan Xiaoyu get along more and more harmoniously, and I felt comforted for Lan Feng.
Lan Feng's eyes were fixed on me, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
I noticed something was wrong with her and said directly, "Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to hide anything between us two sisters."
Lan Feng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Shan, do you still remember what happened when your parents passed away?"
I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help feeling sad.
I lowered my eyes and said dejectedly, "Of course I remember. I was studying in another city at the time, and I rushed back as soon as I heard the news, just to see my parents one last time."
