Chapter 77 Birthday Turnaround

Jiang Tang yawned softly, got up from the bed reluctantly, blinked, and secretly searched the deepest part of the cabinet. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the things he bought were still there.

He coughed lightly, stood up, put on his clothes and went downstairs.

Qin Xiao has been busy with new model orders these days and left home early in the morning.

After Jiang Tang went downstairs, she saw Qin Chuyang sitting alone in front of the stove. When she saw the kid, she went to the bathroom first. After washing up, she returned to the bedroom.

The young man dragged his pony and sat next to Jiang Tang. He held his chin and looked at Jiang Tang. His voice was soft, "Sister-in-law, my brother asked Chu Yang yesterday, but Chu Yang didn't say anything."

The boy looked like he was begging for praise. Jiang Tang pinched his cheeks and said, "Chu Yang is awesome."

The little guy raised his chin proudly, saying that he was the best.

Jiang Tang smiled as she and the boy finished breakfast and went to the market to buy some things. When she came back with Qin Chuyang, she saw Jiang Cui standing at the door.

Jiang Tang frowned and walked over with Qin Chuyang.

When she approached, Jiang Cui turned around and saw Jiang Tang. It was obvious that she was waiting for Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang stood in front of her, but didn't enter. "What's the matter?"

Jiang Cui said, "I heard that Chen Qian came to see you before?"

"Yeah." Jiang Tang frowned and spoke.

"He and I haven't divorced yet." Jiang Cui said in a faint voice.

"so?"

Jiang Tang looked at Jiang Cui in front of him. Her complexion looked much better than when she saw her before.

"Are you not going to divorce him and come here to warn me?"

"No." Jiang Cui denied it. Her marriage was settled, but she just wanted to confirm whether Chen Qian really came to find Jiang Tang.

Looking at Jiang Tang's face, Jiang Cui sighed softly, "I just came to confirm one thing."

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"

"Oh, I'm sure Chen Qian didn't love me before we got married."

Jiang Tang's words made Jiang Cui unable to avoid it. "The first time he saw you, I felt a sense of crisis, but at that time, I only hated you for getting married and thought that we still liked each other."

She said self-deprecatingly, "I didn't know at first. I only found out after he was lying in the hospital with bruises on his face for a few days. Later, he asked me why I didn't marry Qin Xiao, and then I knew."

Jiang Tang nodded calmly, "So now you know, is there anything else?"

She looked at Jiang Cui and asked her with her head tilted.

Jiang Cui said softly, "It's okay. Nothing happened."

Seeing that she didn't say anything else, Jiang Tang turned around and opened the door. He heard Jiang Cui behind him say, "Jiang Tang."

Jiang Tang untied the key and turned to look at her.

Jiang Cui said loudly, "I originally thought that if I was adopted by the Zhou family, I would definitely live a better life than you. I have always claimed to be better than you."

Looking at Jiang Tang's pretty face, Jiang Cui lowered her head and said, "I don't think so now."

"If I was sent back by the Zhou family, I would not have married Qin Xiao because I thought I was smart. In the end, I would marry Chen Qian or some other so-called city dweller in order not to be outdone."

No matter what choice she made, at that point she would not choose Qin Xiao.

Jiang Tang opened the door, said "Oh", and without paying attention to what she said, led Qin Chuyang in.

Before entering the room, he turned around to look at Jiang Cui and whispered, "How are you going to divorce Chen Qian?"

"Now I have nothing. Just like you said before, the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. He wants a divorce, but he can't get a divorce unless I agree. I am just wasting his time."

At this point, Jiang Cui sneered, "His mother said her son is not afraid of being wasted, but I am a woman and I am afraid of being wasted. She doesn't know that even if I spend my whole life with Chen Qian, I will suck some blood from her. I don't plan to get married in the future. I am not afraid of being wasted at all."

She is now very calm. "I will consider letting them go after the Chen family has no choice but to compromise and I get my share of the things that belong to me."

Jiang Tang nodded suddenly.

Jiang Cui looked at Jiang Tang, then turned and left.

Jiang Tangcai brought the little guy in and went into the kitchen first.

After rekindling the spark, Jiang Tang sat on the bench and tilted his head to look at the little guy.

After resting for a while, he stood up and prepared to start making something. Today, he went to the street to buy some old-fashioned cream. Before Qin Xiao’s birthday, he would try to make a test. If it succeeds, he will make a cake for himself. If it fails, he can only buy one for Qin Xiao.

Jiang Tang stood up and took out the things she had bought, and the kid followed her.

"Sister-in-law, cake."

Ever since Jiang Tang said she wanted to make a cake, the kid was eager to help.

Jiang Tang took an enamel basin from the cupboard, wiped off all the water inside, then separated the egg yolk and egg white and placed them in two basins.

Take out the starch from the bag and put it into the egg yolk first. Then take out fresh milk from the refrigerator and pour in an appropriate amount of fresh milk.

"Chuyang, bring some candy to my sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang poured in an appropriate amount of corn oil, took the white sugar from the kid, and began to stir it until it became a paste without any small particles, then he put the bowl down.

Take out the enamel basin containing egg whites, squeeze a little lemon juice into it to remove the fishy smell, then pour in white sugar and start stirring. Pour the white sugar in batches, stir the egg whites into big bubbles, and then pour in white sugar again.

Jiang Tang sat directly on the small stool and started stirring the egg whites.

The young man held his chin and looked at his sister-in-law's thin wrist, blinking his eyes, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang will help you."

This kind of strenuous work was originally the most suitable for Qin Xiao to do, but now Qin Xiao is not here, and the young girl has no strength, so she has to do it.

Jiang Tang shook his head, "Chuyang, don't help your sister-in-law for now, you are still too young."

Jiang Tang continued stirring with great effort as he spoke.

Qin Chuyang saw that his sister-in-law was tired, holding her chin with a sad face.

Why hasn't he grown up yet?

Jiang Tang only felt his hands were numb from beating the egg whites until he lost consciousness. He didn't know how much time had passed before he realized that the egg whites had been beaten into a frosty state.

She stopped, put the basin on the table, and sat on the bench to rest.

After his hands regained consciousness, Jiang Tang stood up and continued working. Looking at his trophy, he let out a sigh of relief. From now on, he would let Qin Xiao do this job. It would be even better if he could get an automatic one someday.

She wiped the sweat off the back of her hand, washed it, and then returned to work.

Pick up the prepared egg white cream and slowly pour it into the egg yolk paste, then stir to mix the egg white and egg yolk evenly. Then take out the mold and Jiang Tang pour the mixed batter into the mold.

Give the mold a light shake, plug in the oven, turn it on, and start preheating.

After preheating the oven, I carried the mold into the oven, closed the oven, clapped my hands gently, and sat on a small stool waiting.

The little guy also held up his chin, staring at the oven with his big eyes, without moving.

Jiang Tang sniffed lightly with the tip of her nose and gently pinched the boy's little face, "Chuyang, it's not well yet, you can't smell the fragrance."

Qin Chuyang blinked his big eyes and looked at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, is this the cake you made for my brother?"

Jiang Tang blinked his eyes, "That's not it yet. If it succeeds, we'll do it again on brother's birthday. If it fails."

Jiang Tang looked at the kid and shrugged, "If we fail, we can only buy one for brother."

"Sister-in-law, you are amazing. You will definitely succeed."

The young man had no idea that Jiang Tang had failed.

Jiang Tang smiled and gently pinched the kid's cheek, "Chu Yang is right."

As time passed, the kitchen was gradually filled with the aroma of bread dough, which kept overflowing from the oven.

The young man sniffed lightly and stared at Jiang Tang in surprise, "Sister-in-law, it smells good."

The cake smells delicious.

Jiang Tang also smelled it. So far everything is going well.

After waiting for a while, until the oven stopped, Jiang Tang walked over and turned it on.

The young man tugged at the corner of Jiang Tang's clothes and looked at the bright yellow cake inside.

Jiang Tang took a towel and carefully took the bread dough out of the oven.

Place it on the table.

It was considered a success so far, Jiang Tang was very satisfied. He gently picked up a small, inconspicuous piece, bent down and handed it to the boy.

The little guy ate it in one gulp and looked at her with bright eyes.

"Sister-in-law, it smells good."

Jiang Tang also tasted a small piece and found it tasted pretty good.

Next, she took out the bread dough, then stared at the kitchen knife at home and coughed lightly. She couldn't find the professional equipment now, so she could only find a cheap substitute.

After washing and wiping the knife repeatedly to make sure it was free of moisture, Jiang Tang brought the knife close to the cake base and began to carefully cut the cake base into three layers horizontally.

When it was done, Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief. The bread crumbs on the table proved how difficult and reluctant the division was. Jiang Tang touched his nose, slowly washed the strawberries he had bought from the refrigerator, and then cut them into pieces.

Then I took out the purchased cream, put a layer of cake base on the bottom, covered it with a layer of old-fashioned cream, carefully added some strawberries, and then covered it with the second layer of cake base. I continued to do this until all three layers of cake base were covered with cream and strawberries.

Jiang Tang then spread the cream on the outermost layer and slowly spread it evenly.

Finally, she gently placed some strawberries on the top layer. Jiang Tang also prepared a chocolate. After melting the chocolate, she slowly drew the Q-version outlines of three people on the top layer of the cake, and then wrote "Happy Birthday" on it.

After finishing, Jiang Tang stepped back and breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man stood on tiptoe and looked at the freshly baked cake on the table, his eyes sparkling, "Sister-in-law, it smells good and looks good."

He pointed at the little figures above and said, "This is my brother, this is my sister-in-law, and this is me."

Jiang Tang gave the boy a thumbs up and said, "Chu Yang is really smart."

After praising the kid, Jiang Tang looked at the finished cake and breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were some flaws, it was already very good as it was the first time to make it like this.

She put down the things in her hands, washed her hands, and then sat lazily on the bench, rubbing her sore fingers and waist.

After resting for a while, I saw the kid still looking at the cake, and he looked very curious about it.

Jiang Tang smiled and stood up.

"Chuyang, let's have cake for lunch, okay?"

Qin Chuyang smacked his lips, "Sister-in-law, shall we eat by ourselves? My brother hasn't come back yet."

Jiang Tang bent down and looked at the little guy, "Chuyang, have you forgotten that we want to give our brother a surprise? We can't let him see this now."

The kid nodded his head, smiling brightly, "Sister-in-law, I want to eat."

Jiang Tang smiled, picked up the kitchen knife, cut a large piece for himself and the kid, and put them on the plate. Jiang Tang also took a small spoon, put it on the cake, and handed it to the kid.

The uncle and his wife sat in front of the stove, eating the delicious cake they had made with great effort.

The kid ate with big mouthfuls, and his face instantly turned into that of a little cat, without even realizing it, "Sister-in-law, the cake smells delicious."

Jiang Tang touched the kid's head and said, "Wait until Chuyang's birthday, and I'll make it for him, okay?"

"good!"

The kid almost couldn't wait to agree, he loved eating cake so much.

In the end, the uncle and his wife finished all the cake. Fortunately, Jiang Tang didn't make the cake very big, so they were a little full before they finished the cake.

After eating, Jiang Tang took the kid for a walk in the yard, trying to digest the food.

After walking around for a few rounds, I felt tired.

Jiang Tang yawned, "Are you sleepy, Chuyang?"

The little dumpling yawned in imitation of the others.

Jiang Tang took the kid upstairs and let him sleep. He then returned to the bedroom and instantly lay down in the warm quilt, wrapping himself up completely. He yawned heavily, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a short while.

When he woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Tang pinched his brows, got out of bed, and walked downstairs.

I was so lazy that I had no interest in cooking and just sat in front of the stove in a daze.

The young man was struggling to light a fire with a flintlock. When the flame shone on Jiang Tang's face, she came to her senses and forced herself to cheer up.

He took a deep breath, rested for a while, and started to cook dinner. He had no interest in it, so Jiang Tang just cooked a little casually. Then he heard the horn at the door.

Jiang Tang forced himself to cheer up, "Chuyang, go open the door for your brother."

The kid had already run out with his short legs, and after a while, Qin Xiao drove into the yard.

Seeing him get off the car, Jiang Tang said loudly, "Go wash your hands first, and come back to eat."

Almost the moment the little girl spoke, Qin Xiao noticed that her tone was weak. He frowned slightly and responded.

Go wash your hands first, then take Qin Chuyang into the kitchen. Jiang Tang has put the food on the table.

She turned around and saw the man staring at her.

Jiang Tang blinked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Xiao touched the little girl's forehead and found the temperature was normal, which made him feel relieved.

Sitting at his seat, while eating, Qin Xiao stared at the half bowl of rice in two large and small bowls, and frowned.

Seeing Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang eating their half bowl of rice slowly and without appetite, he said in a deep voice.

"Why don't you have an appetite?"

He spoke suddenly, and Jiang Tang came back to his senses, staring at the rice in his hand and sighed.

I shared a cake with Chuyang at noon. I’m still full now and can’t eat dinner at all.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tang turned to look at the kid next to him. Sure enough, he was also trying hard to eat his rice. After eating for half a day, there were still a few grains of rice in the bowl.

She was wrong. She shouldn't have eaten so much. She's not hungry at all now.

Jiang Tang looked up at the man in front of him and coughed lightly, "I didn't control my intake well at lunch and ate too much."

Qin Xiao glanced at the little girl, then at his listless brother, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

After finishing the meal in his hand, he passed the bowl to the two children, one adult and one child.

Jiang Tang blinked and tilted his head, somewhat confused.

Qin Xiao raised the empty bowl in his hand, his dark eyes staring at the rice in the little girl's bowl. Jiang Tang understood, pursed her lips lightly, and with a blushing face, poured the remaining rice in her hand into the man's bowl.

Qin Xiao ate all the leftover food.

Jiang Tang held Qin Chuyang's hand and walked in the yard, and continued to disappear. He had eaten too much and was a little injured.

Jiang Tang bent down and looked at the little guy, with an apologetic look in her eyes, "Chuyang, sister-in-law will definitely not let you eat too much next time."

Eating too much is really uncomfortable.

Qin Chuyang shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, it smells delicious. Chuyang wants to eat more."

Jiang Tang coaxed softly, "But eat less."

The little guy nodded obediently.

After Qin Xiao washed all the dishes, he stared at the two people, one big and one small, who were still circling in the yard, and pursed his thin lips slightly.

Go to the bathroom and turn on the heater.

Qin Xiao walked out of the bathroom. Jiang Tang looked at him and said loudly, "Qin Xiao, Jiang Cui came to see me today."

Qin Xiao hummed calmly, staring at the girl's pale face, "Are you okay?"

The man walked up to the little girl, held Jiang Tang's hand, and took Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang away.

Jiang Tang held his hand back and followed the man's strength to move forward, which saved a lot of effort.

"It's nothing. Chen Qian came to see me earlier. She came to me to confirm. She must have really given up."

The man responded calmly.

Jiang Tang raised her eyes to look at the man, smiling, "I heard from her that Chen Qian is in the hospital."

"Did you hit me too hard that day?"

The man's dark eyes darkened slightly, and he tightened his grip on the girl's fingers, lowering his head and saying, "You won't die."

Jiang Tang coughed lightly. This man's attitude towards being lenient was that it would be okay as long as the other party didn't die.

The same thing happened to Jiang Hu before and that man Li Shunqin.

However, although I do not advocate violence, the most effective way to deal with those scum who insist on beating others is to make them feel pain and fear.

After Jiang Tang was led by Qin Xiao, she didn't want to move at all. As she walked, she lay on Qin Xiao with her body limp, almost letting Qin Xiao carry her.

Qin Xiao obviously noticed the little girl's laziness, so he followed her and led her for a few more rounds before leading her back to the bedroom.

Jiang Tang sat on the chair, resting his hands on the back of the chair, his chin resting on his arms, and yawned.

Qin Xiao took Qin Chuyang to take a shower. Jiang Tang was leaning lazily in his arms and was about to fall asleep until Qin Xiao came out holding Qin Chuyang.

Jiang Tang propped himself up to take a shower. When he returned to the bedroom, he didn't see Qin Chuyang and whispered, "Chuyang went to sleep?"

Qin Xiao frowned and shook his head slightly, "Diarrhea."

"In the bathroom."

After Qin Xiao said this, Jiang Tang frowned slightly, thinking that she must have eaten too much at noon.

However, it would be best to get it out now, otherwise you will not be able to sleep later at night.

Jiang Tang sighed softly, "I will never let Chuyang eat too much again."

The cake at noon was really too delicious. Even she, an adult, could hardly bear it, let alone a child.

When the kid had diarrhea, Jiang Tang squatted down and looked at him worriedly, "Chuyang, does it hurt?"

The boy's face turned pale, but he still smiled at Jiang Tang.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay."

"At first Chuyang's stomach was bloated, now it's all swollen."

Jiang Tang gently rubbed the little guy's belly. It was soft and not as hard as before.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Rubbed the kid's head.

Qin Xiao took Qin Chuyang to wash himself, and then carried him upstairs.

Jiang Tang checked from behind, closed the doors and windows, and followed Qin Xiao into the kid's bedroom.

The little guy snuggled under the quilt and slowly closed his eyes.

Qin Xiao touched the boy's forehead to make sure everything was alright.

After seeing the kid fall asleep, the couple tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Go back to their room together.

Jiang Tang lay flat on the bed, feeling worried.

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl's wrinkled brows.

The rough palm slowly placed on Jiang Tang's brow and rubbed it gently.

Jiang Tang's brows gradually relaxed and he rested his head on Qin Xiao's arm.

Qin Xiao reached his hand down into Jiang Tang's pajamas and rubbed the little girl's belly gently, giving her relief little by little.

Jiang Tang's discomfort gradually eased. She tried to stop the man's hand but stopped halfway, then slowly let it drop, allowing the man to rub her belly.

Feeling the relief in her stomach, Jiang Tang slowly turned to the side, snuggled into Qin Xiao's arms, and closed her eyes.

"Tomorrow morning, just cook some porridge for Chuyang. It's easy to digest."

"Um."

Jiang Tang hummed softly with some comfort, "Will the factory be busy in the next few days?"

Qin Xiao said calmly, "Hetian is at home, so we need to keep a close eye on him these few days."

"We are still rushing to process orders for the new season, but we can still handle it."

Jiang Tang exhaled softly, rubbed against Qin Xiao's arms, and slowly fell asleep in a daze.

Feeling the little girl's even breathing, Qin Xiao did not let go of the hand that was rubbing the little girl's belly and continued to rub it.

It was not until late at night that the man fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the first thing Jiang Tang did after getting up was to go to the toilet. After staying in the toilet for half an hour, Jiang Tang finally came out of the toilet comfortably.

In the kitchen, the porridge Qin Xiao cooked was still warm on the stove.

Jiang Tang went to wash up first, then went to the second floor and walked into the kid's room quietly.

Seeing that the little guy was still sleeping soundly, Jiang Tang relaxed his brows, thought for a while, slowly put his hand under the quilt, and imitated what the man did yesterday, gently rubbing the little guy's belly.

Until the little boy opened his eyes with a hum, rubbed his eyelids and looked at Jiang Tang, his voice soft, "Sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang rubbed the little guy's belly and said softly, "Chuyang, does your stomach still hurt?"

Qin Chuyang shook his head and rubbed it on the pillow. "It's not uncomfortable, sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang loosened his hands on the kid's belly, took out clothes from his closet, put clothes on the little guy, Jiang Tang held the little guy in his arms, and then carried him out of the room and downstairs.

After the kid finished washing up, Jiang Tang served him a bowl of porridge.

She felt relieved only after seeing the kid drink it obediently.

It seems there is no problem.

Qin Chuyang finished his porridge, patted his belly and looked at Jiang Tang, his eyebrows raised, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Chuyang is full, nothing will happen."

Jiang Tang was most afraid that he would get sick, so she quickly touched the boy's belly. Fortunately, it was soft, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Pinch the little guy's nose.

I started to eat breakfast, and after breakfast I took the kid for a walk around the house, not daring to let the little guy go to bed.

Only after seeing that the young man was in good spirits did Jiang Tang finally feel relieved.

After the young man recovered his strength, the smile on Jiang Tang's face became more genuine.

The kid still remembered his brother's cake, "Sister-in-law, we have to make a cake for brother too."

Jiang Tang was a little bit pessimistic about cakes now, but seeing the kid's energetic look, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, make a cake for your brother."

However, Qin Xiao's birthday is in two days, and Jiang Tang's plan is to notify Lei Zi and the others as well.

Jiang Tang first called the factory, muttering to himself that it must not be Qin Xiao who answered the phone.

Jiang Tang sighed heavily until the phone was picked up and he heard the man's deep voice.

Qin Xiao frowned, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Tang coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. I just miss you a little."

Qin Xiao: ...

Listening to the quiet voices from the other side, Jiang Tang tapped his toes on the ground.

Suddenly, I heard a man's hoarse laughter in the receiver.

Jiang Tang touched his slightly red face and whispered, "What are you laughing at?"

It's still hard to imagine.

The joy in the man's laughter was transmitted completely into Jiang Tang's ears through the receiver, and the hoarse voice made Jiang Tang's ears numb.

"Is everything all right at the factory?"

Jiang Tang blinked and clumsily changed the subject.

Fortunately, the man was willing to cooperate with her. "Well, we are working hard. Now that the weather has improved, we need to rush to get the orders out."

Jiang Tang said "oh" and spoke a few words to the man absentmindedly before hanging up the phone.

She remembered that Qin Xiao should be in the factory at this time, so why did he come into the office again?

Jiang Tang exhaled.

I could only go out and sit in front of the stove to warm myself by the fire.

An hour later, Jiang Tang took a deep breath, stood up, ran to the living room, and called the factory.

Her lips moved slightly, and she kept repeating to herself, "Don't let Qin Xiao receive the call."

Maybe her silent prayer had worked. The person who answered the phone this time was Wang Qilei.

As soon as he heard his voice, Jiang Tang stopped being polite and went straight to telling him about Qin Xiao's birthday.

By the way, let Lei Zi talk to He Tian and Liu Guohui.

"Just tell Hetian and Juan'er. If it's inconvenient for them, don't come over. Just take good care of the baby at home."

Wang Qilei patted his chest and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely bring it."

Jiang Tang didn't plan to say more to him. After he finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. The person had finally been notified.

On Qin Xiao's birthday, the cool spring sunshine filtered through the window, no different from any other time.

Jiang Tang half-lay on the bed and stretched, then covered his mouth and yawned softly before getting out of bed and slowly walking downstairs.

Qin Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with this dull day, so he went to the factory early in the morning as usual. Now there were still only Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang at home.

After Jiang Tang washed her face, she had breakfast with her little friend and started working early in the morning.

Make Qin Xiao a real birthday cake.

With previous experience, Jiang Tang is now much more skilled at making cakes, and the cake he made this time is also bigger than the last time.

In addition to strawberries, pineapples were also added. Jiang Tang placed the fruits on the cake and decorated it before melting the chocolate. He drew a small figure of a family of three on the cake and wrote the words "Happy Birthday" on it.

After making the cake, Jiang Tang bent over, raised her hands and looked at the boy with a smile.

The little guy jumped up and high-fived Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang clenched his fists, "Chuyang, brother's birthday cake is ready!"

"yeah!"

The little guy jumped and spun in circles.

Jiang Tang sighed. Qin Xiao was obviously not at home, but the two of them, both big and small, acted like thieves and even spoke in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law, please hide the cake first. We still have to make some delicious dishes."

The young man also nodded secretly, "Okay, I'll help my sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang picked up the cake and carefully hid it. Then he came back, as if he was relieved, and raised his voice, "Chuyang, now we are going to start making my brother's favorite dish. Can you help me?"

"Um!"

The uncle and his sister-in-law started to fight.

In the afternoon, Jiang Tang heard a knock on the door. She looked around but didn't find any traces of the cake. She breathed a sigh of relief and quietly looked at the boy next to her, "Chuyang, go open the door."

The kid also ran to the gate of the yard quietly and opened it.

Zhang Hetian and his gang all swarmed in.

Jiang Tang was relieved when he saw that it was them. He looked at Zhang Hetian and Wen Juan and asked, "Juan'er, are you okay?"

Wen Juan came forward and held Jiang Tang's hand. "It's okay. He's still young. It won't affect him."

Jiang Tang pursed his lips, "I'm glad you're okay."

Zhang Hetian and Liu Guohui also came in and looked at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, how do you plan?"

Jiang Tang said loudly, "It's just to celebrate Qin Xiao's birthday and invite you all to have a meal together."

Lu Fang stepped forward and said, "Okay, you can't eat for free. If you have anything to do, just tell me, Tangtang."

Jiang Tang didn't bother to be polite with them.

Leave the work to them. When more people come together, the yard becomes lively and bustling, and things get done much faster.

It was already dark when they heard the horn of a car at the door. A group of people hid in the toilet and turned off the lights.

Jiang Tang looked at the kid and said softly, "Chuyang, open the door for your brother."

The young man walked nervously to the gate of the yard and opened it.

Qin Xiao drove into the yard and got out with Wang Qilei.

As soon as I got off the car, I noticed the dark yard and the quiet atmosphere.

Frowning slightly, "Qin Chuyang, where is your sister-in-law..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light seemed to be lit in the bathroom, and the light shone on the little girl's hazy and beautiful face, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Qin Xiao's heart skipped a beat and he felt empty for a moment.

A group of people surrounded Jiang Tang in the dark and slowly approached Qin Xiao. The girl was holding a cake with candles on it. When she got closer, she looked up at Qin Xiao.

The people surrounded Qin Xiao and started singing the song that Jiang Tang taught them.

"Happy birthday to you...Happy birthday to you..."

Everyone's face was warm and beautiful in the light of the fire.

Qin Xiao's throat rolled, and his dark eyes stared intently at the little girl in front of him who was smiling sweetly.

The tall man stood motionless in the yard, like a statue.

Jiang Tang approached, looked up at Qin Xiao, and said in a sweet voice, "Qin Xiao, close your eyes and make a wish, it will work."

After listening to the girl's words, the man closed his eyes. His mind was filled with the girl's charming smile. His throat rolled, and after listening to the girl's words in his ears, he made up his mind and made a wish.

It didn't take long for the man to open his eyes, staring at Jiang Tang with his deep pupils.

Jiang Tang blinked and passed the cake to him, "Blow out the candles."

The man stared at the girl. Jiang Tang said softly, "I'll go with you."

Jiang Tang and the man blew out the candles, and the yard became completely dark.

Qin Xiao took a step forward, took the little girl's cake with one hand, and eagerly hugged her tightly in his arms without caring about the environment. He kept holding the little girl, as if he wanted to hold her deeply in his arms.

Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, her head leaning obediently in the man's arms, her hands actively hugging Qin Xiao's thin waist, her voice was hoarse, "Qin Xiao, happy birthday."

As soon as Jiang Tang finished speaking, all the lights from the yard to the kitchen were turned on.

A group of people gathered around, looked at each other, and stared at the two of them.

Jiang Tang felt the light and raised her face from the man's arms.

Qin Xiao didn't let go of the little girl until he had hugged her enough.

"Brother Xiao, it's time to eat. Today is your birthday, and sister-in-law has prepared a large table of delicious food."

Looking at the brothers beside him, Qin Xiao finally understood why the little girl called the factory.

Everyone surrounded Qin Xiao and sat down.

When Qin Xiao saw the table full of his favorite dishes, his dark eyes became deep.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Qin Xiao raised the corners of his lips slightly and took the initiative to raise a glass.

After he started, we began to eat the meal noisily.

Wang Qilei stared at the cake, "Sister-in-law, where did you buy this cake?"

You can tell at a glance that they are a family, and there are words wishing Brother Xiao a happy birthday.

And the fruits and cream on the cake look delicious.

Jiang Tang spoke slowly, "I made this myself."

After hearing what the little girl said, Qin Xiao stared at the birthday cake. Its sweet appearance actually made him a little greedy.

Wang Qilei chuckled twice, "Sister-in-law, I am the hero of today's event. Give me an extra piece of cake later."

"Leizi, this is not right. How can you be considered a great hero? We have been busy all afternoon, and you just came with Brother Xiao just for the sake of asking."

Liu Guohui sighed and disagreed.

"If my sister-in-law and I hadn't worked together smoothly and notified you, would it have been so successful?"

Liu Guohui snorted and disagreed.

The others were eating and watching the two people arguing.

At the dinner table, the man didn't say anything, but anyone could see that Xiao Ge was in an unprecedented good mood.

However, everyone turned their eyes to their sister-in-law at the same time. If someone in the family cared about them so much and took them to heart, they would laugh even more wildly than Xiao Ge.

After the lively and noisy meal, a group of people cleared away the dishes and Qin Xiao placed the cake in the middle of the table.

A group of people surrounded him. They were obviously full, but they stared at the cake as if they were ready to pounce on it and take a look at it at any time.

Qin Xiao's eyes moved around, and everyone focused a little, but their eyes were still fixed on the cake.

Qin Xiao cut the cake into pieces one by one. The man handed the first piece to Jiang Tang without hesitation.

Jiang Tang took it without hesitation, and after Qin Xiao finished cutting it, he let it go.

Others fend for themselves.

Wen Juan also got a piece of cake and took a bite. She stared at Jiang Tang with sparkling eyes, "Sister-in-law, it's delicious."

Pregnant women are not suitable to eat too much cake, but Wenjuan ate the rare piece happily, and Zhang Hetian did not stop her.

Wang Qilei ate and looked at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, if it's my birthday, can you make it for me too?"

Celebrating birthdays is secondary, the main thing is just wanting to eat.

Before Jiang Tang could answer him, Wang Qile was so frightened by his brother Xiao's eyes that he took a step back.

Jiang Tang smiled and agreed, "If it's your birthday, I'll make one for you too."

The delicious cake eliminated his fear of Qin Xiao. Wang Qile was afraid that Qin Xiao would refuse to give it up, so he quickly agreed.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang shook his head, "It's okay."

She glanced at the man next to her and said coquettishly, "Help me beat the egg whites when the time comes."

The man responded in a low voice without complaint.

After the lively and noisy party, a group of people cleaned up the dishes obediently. It was already late at night, and several people did not stay at home, but went back together.

Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao saw them off before returning home.

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl and Qin Chuyang's belly with his dark eyes, and said hoarsely, "Is it because of this?"

Is that why you had an upset stomach? Is that why you have been so secretive these past two days?

Jiang Tang coughed lightly and responded with a hot face.

Qin Xiao raised his thin lips slightly, with a faint smile in his black eyes.

The rough palm stroked the little girl's slightly hot face, and the voice was incredibly hoarse, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Tang rubbed his hand, shook her head, stared at the man with watery eyes, and said softly, "Qin Xiao, are you happy?"

The man lowered his head, resting his forehead against the girl's. A happy smile welled up in his chest, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "I'm happy."

"Brother! Come here quickly." The young guy trotted out of the living room with something in his hand, his voice raised loudly.

Qin Xiao paused slightly, let go of the little girl, and moved his gaze to Qin Chuyang.

Qin Chuyang raised his hands high and looked at Qin Xiao with sparkling eyes.

Qin Xiao swallowed, looked at his brother, walked over and picked up the gift in the boy's hand.

Under the little boy's expectant gaze, he opened it and revealed the gift inside.

A cool bulldozer toy car.

This is the kid's favorite toy. Qin Xiao stared at the gift Qin Chuyang gave him and looked at the kid's expectant eyes. "Brother, do you like it?"

This is his favorite toy and he wants to give it to his brother.

Qin Xiao held his brother in his arms with one hand and rubbed the boy's head with his big hand, "Yeah, I like it."

"Hehehe." The little guy grinned. His brother liked the gift he gave him.

Qin Xiao held his brother for a while before putting him down.

He held the bulldozer in his hand, his black eyes filled with smiles.

The little guy was spinning around happily, still in excitement. It was already late at night, Qin Xiao put the things on the table and took the kid to take a bath.

After returning, he took the kid upstairs and coaxed him to sleep before going downstairs.

After taking a shower, Jiang Tang went upstairs yawning.

She was half lying on the bed, her dark eyes couldn't help but look at the place where she hid the things, and then she suddenly lifted the quilt and covered her head.

Rolling over and over, my heart pounding like a drum.

He took a deep breath and encouraged himself, "Jiang Tang! Whether I can turn over depends on this time. It's no big deal."

Jiang Tang buried himself in the quilt and chanted silently to hypnotize himself.

Qin Xiao didn't hear the sound of the man pushing the door open. Instead, he listened to the little girl's gasping sound in the quilt, and the man's thick black eyebrows raised slightly.

"Jiang Tang."

With these words, the little girl in the quilt froze. Then, Qin Xiao saw the little hamster slowly crawling out of the quilt and staring at him cautiously.

Qin Xiao walked over, stared at the little girl's guilty look, and asked hoarsely, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Tang clenched her fingers under the quilt, unable to control her violent heartbeat. She swallowed and stared at the handsome face of the man. Her mind became hot, and she spoke in a coquettish voice, "Qin Xiao... I have something for you."
