At 7:30 p.m., the three of them arrived home.
Aunt Zhang had been waiting at home. When the three of them returned, she helped them take their luggage to the bedroom and then left.
The dinner prepared by Aunt Zhang was laid out on the table.
We had been traveling all afternoon and were starving.
Milk circled around them, and when it saw Wen Shuqiao, it meowed sweetly, it couldn't be more excited.
Wen Shuqiao picked it up, moved it around a bit, and after returning home, she realized that she also missed home.
Cake was lying in its nest, and only after seeing Wen Shuqiao arrive did it go over and nuzzle her twice with its head.
Wen Shuqiao squatted down, put the milk aside, and then gently moved the cake's head a couple of times: "Why are you so listless? Do you have a cold?"
After she finished speaking, the cake's tail wagged and nuzzled her hand with its head, as if it had perked up.
Wen Shuqiao chuckled softly and moved its head a couple more times: "You've snapped out of it, haven't you?"
The cake barked and then suddenly froze for a moment.
Wen Shuqiao was startled by its bark, and she looked at the cake with a hint of embarrassment on her face.
But it soon started wagging its tail and whimpering.
Wen Shuqiao could clearly sense a hint of embarrassment in its reaction.
Shen Jiazhou took off his coat and walked over. He asked, "What's the cake called?"
Wen Shuqiao looked up at him, and Shen Jiazhou reached out and pulled her up from the ground: "Wash your hands and eat. Aren't you hungry?"
“Hungry.” Wen Shuqiao’s eyes crinkled into a smile. “It didn’t make any noise, it probably just wanted to be affectionate, but its brain hadn’t quite registered it.”
Shen Jiazhou glanced down at the cake, which was now rubbing its head against his trouser leg. Shen Jiazhou gently pushed it aside with his foot, but as soon as he pulled his leg back, the cake clung to him again.
It was so hard to part ways.
Shen Jiazhou said, "Now you know how awkward it is."
The cake rubbed against his leg again.
Can Can had already washed his hands and came out. He said, "Auntie and Uncle, dinner's ready!"
The two adults then held hands, washed their hands, and sat down at the dining table.
Can Can very attentively served food to Wen Shu Qiao: "Auntie, eat up! You've been away for so long, you must not have had such delicious food."
Shen Jiazhou also served her a bowl of soup: "Aunt Zhang has been making chicken soup all afternoon. Drink more to help your body recover."
Looking at the pile of food in her bowl, Wen Shuqiao quickly stopped them, saying, "Okay, I'll eat a lot. You two should eat too."
Shen Jiazhou and Cancan then regretfully put their chopsticks away.
For the first time, the uncle and nephew reached a consensus on the matter of getting Wen Shuqiao to eat more.
Wen Shuqiao also picked up her chopsticks and put some chicken wings that Can Can liked on his plate: "Shall we eat together?"
Can Can replied happily, "Okay, Auntie!"
After saying that, he smiled and took a bite of the honey-glazed chicken wing that his aunt had put on his plate. It was so sweet and fragrant.
Shen Jiazhou watched Can Can gnaw on the chicken wing and said helplessly, "Can you put on gloves before you eat it? It's all dirty!"
Can Can glanced at her uncle, biting into a chicken leg, and mumbled, "I want to be all dirty. I'm not a clean kid."
Wen Shuqiao placed another piece of vegetables on Shen Jiazhou's plate: "Calm down, calm down."
Shen Jiazhou then snorted and didn't bother arguing with the dirty kid.
After the three of them had almost finished eating, Shen Jiazhou went to the kitchen and took out the cake.
Can Can looked like the sky had fallen: "Uncle, why didn't you tell me you bought a cake?"
He had just eaten a large meal and couldn't eat any more cake.
Shen Jiazhou took out the cake, glanced at Can Can, and replied, "It was on purpose. You're not allowed to eat it tonight."
Can Can hummed in response. He'd jump around a bit later and then he'd have room for cake!
Shen Jiazhou placed the small cake in front of Wen Shuqiao and smiled, "Make a wish?"
Then he turned to his head and ordered, "Go turn off the lights and turn on the night light."
Can Can obediently ran over and turned off the main light, then turned on the night light.
The room instantly went dark.
Cancan ran back and stood beside Wen Shuqiao, hugging her: "Auntie, hurry up and make a wish."
The candlelight flickered before my eyes.
Wen Shuqiao clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and earnestly made a wish.
Can Can muttered softly, "Auntie, aren't you going to tell me?"
My uncle said it all when he made his wish.
Wen Shuqiao opened her eyes and smiled, saying, "Auntie only has one wish, so I can't say it out loud."
She didn't let Can Can say much, but simply put her arm around him, pulling him closer: "Shall we blow out the candles together?"
"Okay!" Can Can exclaimed happily, "I'd love to help you blow out the candles!"
Shen Jiazhou chuckled: "It's not that I'm willing, it's that I can't wait."
Wen Shuqiao also looked at Shen Jiazhou: "Zhouzhou, let's blow out the candles together."
She extended her hand to Shen Jiazhou. Shen Jiazhou stared at the pale hand for a few seconds and said, "It's nothing for me to help you blow out your birthday candles."
But she still offered her hand, letting Wen Shuqiao hold it.
Wen Shuqiao pulled him closer and said with a smile, "I'll count down."
"three."
"two."
"one."
"call--"
The candles were blown out by working together.
Wen Shuqiao released the two of them and clapped her hands: "That was great!"
Can Can stood on tiptoe and said, "Auntie, I want to kiss you."
Wen Shuqiao leaned over, and Cancan gave her a big kiss on the cheek. Wen Shuqiao patted his head and said, "Baby, you're so good."
