Chapter 36 Birthdays Are Not Important Anymore
There was a portion of strawberries in the refrigerator, and besides that was a refrigerator full of white roses.
Ran Xuejuan looked at him stupidly.
Why is it strawberry, and why is it white rose.
Ran Le raised his head: "Xiao Ba Ba, happy Senri."
Shi Zhufeng was stunned. Is today Ran Xuejuan's birthday? He remembered that the date on Ran Xuejuan's official website was not today.
Ran Xuejuan looked at the flowers and strawberries, and the corners of his eyes suddenly turned red. His birthday had long been covered under the snow. He thought that the only person in the world who remembered his real birthday was long gone. He himself didn't even remember his birthday. He didn't expect that someone else still remembered it.
He hasn't eaten the strawberries yet, but the taste of strawberries has already risen in his heart, sweet and sour with a unique flavor.
Ran Xuejuan lowered her head and looked at Ran Le.
"You, how did you know my birthday, how did you buy the flowers, not how did you hide them in the refrigerator..."
He actually didn't know what he wanted to say and his words were somewhat incoherent.
"Are you hungry? I'll feed you some strawberries, okay?"
Ran Le shook his head: "No, Ran Xuexue likes strawberries and flowers. This one is for you, you have to eat it first."
He waved and said with a smile: "Look down, there are gifts for you."
Ran Xuejuan bent her fingers and slowly squatted down.
Ran Le kissed him: "Hey."
Ran Xuejuan touched her face, looked at the little guy again, and suddenly laughed.
Shi Zhufeng looked at her and always felt that there was something bitter in Ran Xuejuan's smile.
Ran Le took out the schoolbag that he had asked the program crew to put behind the refrigerator.
"This is for you, Si Zhu Feng. It contains videos of me walking, eating cake, eating beef, and watching TV. They were all taken by Shi Zhu Feng. I didn't find you at that time, but I asked Daddy to record them. I want to show them to you."
He opened his schoolbag: "This is a toy that looks like a nest, I give it to you. This is a hat that chases the wind, I give it to you. This is..."
At this point he suddenly remembered that he had clearly asked Shi Zhufeng to put the cake in, but Shi Zhufeng said that it would be spoiled if he put it in, so he would make it for him on the day he left, but what about the cake?
He looked through his small schoolbag, dazed.
"It's over." He looked up at Shi Zhufeng behind Ran Xuejuan, "Dad, you didn't put the egg knife in."
Every birthday requires a cake, and he has one, and Ran Xuexue wants one too.
Ran Le was so anxious that he turned around in a circle, wondering where the cake was.
"Bang bang, the egg knife is gone."
Shi Zhufeng felt guilty. It seemed that he had promised Lele, but he forgot about it when he left the house in such a hurry.
Ran Le's eyes turned red and tears fell.
Shi Zhufeng immediately panicked.
"Yes, there is cake. I'll have someone bring it in right away. It will be quick."
Ran Le was crying so hard that she couldn't speak clearly: "It's a lie."
Shi Zhufeng is a big liar.
Shi Zhufeng felt so much pain in his heart that he wanted to hug someone, but there was Ran Xuejuan between him and Ran Le, and Ran Xuejuan got there one step ahead of him.
Ran Xuejuan picked him up and wiped Ran Le's eyes with his sleeve.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I've eaten the cake."
Ran Le's tears were still falling, and he was crying so pitifully, but there was no other sound except sobbing.
"Mingming, Mingming, Yingwoda, cake, no cake, Senri, no cake..."
Ran Xuejuan hugged him and coaxed him, "I really ate it. Do you remember when you and your dad went to the cake shop and bought all the cakes?"
Ran Le's thoughts were disrupted and his tears gradually stopped.
"I remember."
Shi Zhufeng lowered his eyes slightly. Was Ran Xuejuan also in the cake shop that day?
Ran Xuejuan: "You asked the clerk to give the remaining cakes to uncles and aunts passing by. I got one, strawberry flavored, with a few big red strawberries on it."
Ran Le gradually stopped sobbing: "It's time to follow the wind. So, did you blow out the candles and make a wish?"
"I made a wish," his eyelashes were still stained with tears, "I want Ran Xuexue to be healthy and Si Zhufeng to be happy."
Ran Xuejuan looked at the little guy's red eyes and cheeks from crying, and asked, "What about you? Did Lele make a wish for himself?"
Ran Le was stunned for a moment, blinking away the tears on his eyelashes. He asked, "Can you send me more?"
Then he wants all the delicious food in the world.
Thinking of food, his stomach started to growl.
Ran Xuejuan chuckled. He saw that the strawberries were washed and fed one to Ran Le. He looked at the refrigerator full of white roses and suddenly he wanted to make a wish.
I hope Ran Le will be healthy and live a happy and easy life.
"Let's go, it's time to go eat."
Shi Zhufeng looked at the refrigerator full of white roses and gently brushed the petals. Is it Ran Xuejuan’s birthday?
"Eat!" Ran Le recovered immediately. If it weren't for the traces on his face, he would have looked like he had never cried. "Fish, braised beef with soy sauce, eat, eat."
The tone was impatient.
"Okay." Ran Xuejuan put the schoolbag away carefully. No wonder the little guy came to participate in the variety show with a bulging little schoolbag, while other children came as they pleased.
Shi Zhufeng tidied up the refrigerator and decided to find a way to preserve the flowers later.
He followed him out.
Looking at Ran Le talking to Ran Xuejuan with great enthusiasm, his facial expressions were very rich and he would even take the time to make faces at him.
Shi Zhufeng burst out laughing. It seemed that the little guy would remember the fact that he forgot about the cake for a while.
He tilted his head and saw Ran Xuejuan also smiling, with a hint of sincerity in her face. She looked at Ran Le in a very gentle manner.
The sunset in the sky is extremely beautiful, and this scene under the afterglow is enough for Zhufeng to remember for a lifetime.
"Ran Xuexue, I think I've seen fish this big before."
“So big?”
"It was a duck, so big, I caught it in a snap. It ate it for two days. I wanted to leave some for you, but it seemed to be rotten, so I ate it all."
“Is it fragrant?”
"fragrant!"
Speaking of fish, Ran Le sniffed.
"It looks like pine fish and mandarin fish."
Shi Zhufeng tapped Ran Le's little nose from behind.
“It’s a squirrel fish.”
Ran Le shook his head: "It's obviously like a fish, not a squirrel. Don't be fooled, Shi Zhu Feng Ni."
Shi Zhufeng laughed: "That's right, there are no squirrels in there."
Ran Le nodded in agreement. The dishes cooked by the two-legged animals were delicious, but the two-legged animals liked to give random names, and their naming skills were not as good as those of cats.
Ran Xuejuan carried Ran Le into the restaurant.
Director: "Come on, take a seat. There are no restrictions tonight. As long as you can finish the food, you can order as many dishes as you want. Of course, tonight is also your last free dinner."
Upon hearing this, Ran Le went to see the director.
The director teased Ran Le, and Ran Le immediately turned his head away. He looked at Shi Zhufeng and Ran Xuejuan and reminded them, "Big Baba, Little Baba, he seems to be a black-hearted director, you guys have to be careful."
director:"......"
Woo...crying!
The three of them walked to the window, and Shi Zhufeng tilted his head and whispered to Ran Xuejuan.
"Today the director exchanged a tomato for one of the little guy's points."
Ran Xuejuan knew that they only got 13 points today, but he didn't know where the other point was lost. He didn't ask, but now he realized that it was because the tomatoes were replaced.
He looked at Ran Le, whose heart and eyes were filled with the food service staff, and asked, "Where is the tomato?"
Such a tomato will definitely be remembered deeply by Ran Le.
Shi Zhufeng said with a smile: "Among the dishes, it should have been delivered to us after we finished eating. The little guy kept trying to eat the tomato that was half the size of his face."
Ran Xuejuan was silent for a while. He was the one who picked the tomatoes. The director said that the ones who guessed the questions could be taken away, so he deliberately picked the biggest one. After putting it away, he remembered that it was too big and it would be difficult for Lele to hold it, so he deliberately picked smaller ones for the rest.
"As a parent, how can you laugh at your child behind his back?"
Shi Zhufeng: “?”
Ran Xue begins with a tired voice.
Shi Zhufeng's eyes turned and stared at Ran Xuejuan's earlobe. Okay, it was his fault.
"Auntie, braised beef with soy sauce, fish." Ran Le saw that all the dishes had been put away and it was time to serve, so he was the first to speak. He then continued, "Mushroom soup, diced chicken, Chinese cabbage, some stir-fried beans, and a spoonful... a big bowl of rice."
Eating is really positive.
Shi Zhufeng and Ran Xuejuan were still looking at what dishes were available, but Ran Le had already ordered.
Ran Le actually wanted something else, but he couldn’t finish it today.
Shi Zhufeng said that they couldn't be wasted. He looked at the other dishes reluctantly. The shrimps over there looked delicious, as well as the beef in golden soup, crabs, and some other dishes he had never eaten before. His grandmother said they were from the sea, but Shi Zhufeng was allergic to them, so he decided not to eat them.
Shi Zhufeng asked Ran Xuejuan: "Are you allergic to seafood?"
Ran Xuejuan shook her head.
Shi Zhufeng: "I want four more boiled shrimps."
Lele ordered a lot of things, and this one can only be used to taste.
Ran Xuejuan frowned: "Aren't you allergic?"
Shi Zhufeng signaled Ran Xuejuan to look at Ran Le, and the little guy's eyes were almost fixed on the shrimp.
"I just don't eat it."
The staff worked quickly and all their dishes were brought up immediately.
Only then did the other three families come in.
Lu Yuanyuan was shocked: "Didn't we agree on 6:30?"
How come there are people who arrived earlier?
Shi Zhufeng: "Le Le is hungry, so we decided to go to the restaurant to wait for food. I didn't expect the efficiency to be so high in the show."
Qi Yunzhao: "Come on, Yueyue, you and Yuanyuan go and choose whatever you want to eat."
Yueyue stared at the food on Lele's table and swallowed her saliva: "Okay."
In fact, she was also very hungry, even though Qi Qi had just washed some fruit for them to fill their stomachs.
Lu Yuanyuan was also hungry. She had eaten a little at noon because she was angry with Qi Yunzhao. Now she was very hungry. She took Yueyue's hand and ran straight to the window.
Nao Nao was also hungry. He took a look at the food on Le Le's table and asked, "What kind of mushroom is this mushroom soup?"
Shi Zhufeng took a look and said, "It's bamboo fungus."
Nao Nao didn’t know what bamboo fungus was, but it didn’t matter, he could tell the staff that he wanted mushroom soup, and he pulled Jiang Youyi along.
"Let's go, let's go get some food."
Jiang Youyi politely greeted Shi Zhufeng's family, and went to get food with Naonao.
Bai Yunsheng followed immediately.
After the people left, Shi Zhufeng turned his attention back to the dining table and found that there was already a spoonful of rice in his bowl.
Ran Le served rice to the three of them, picked up a spoon and started eating.
Looking at the fish, he couldn't use chopsticks or spoon to pick it up.
Ran Le made a spoonful of minced meat and peas and gave it to Shi Zhufeng: "Ba ba, fish."
Shi Zhufeng found it funny and picked up some fish for Ran Le. Although mandarin fish had almost no bones, he still checked it before giving it to Ran Le.
Ran Le ate it immediately.
fragrant.
"I want more."
Seeing this, Ran Xuejuan also picked up some fish for Ran Le.
Ran Le saw Ran Xuexue, thought for a moment, scooped up the fish with a spoon and handed it to her: "Ran Xuexue, eat fish."
Ran Xuejuan paused.
Shi Zhufeng reminded Ran Le: "This is the spoon you used."
Ran Le raised his hand stubbornly: "Don't you want to eat?"
Shi Zhufeng glanced at Ran Xuejuan. Perhaps he had never experienced such a thing before, so he took the spoon and ate the fish in one bite.
"Dad took it."
Ran Le immediately turned around and said, "When the weather is bad, Zhu Feng actually stole the fish."
Shi Zhufeng took another spoon and put some fish in it and gave it to Ran Le: "I'll give this one to you, Ran Xuexue."
Ran Le handed it over again: "Ran Xuexue, eat quickly."
Ran Xuejuan came back to his senses. He was not disgusted, and the fish was given to Ran Le by him. He just didn't expect the little guy to feed him.
He lowered his head and ate the fish.
“It’s delicious.”
Ran Le said earnestly: "Ran Xuexue, you must eat well. Come, have a bite of the nest and a bite of the mud."
Ran Xuejuan asked: "Is that why you feed me?"
Ran Le started poking a large spoonful of rice: "It's duck, there's something delicious to share with you and Shi Zhufeng."
He doesn't give it to anyone else.
Shi Zhufeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, why didn’t he see the little guy feeding him?
Ran Le didn't care. He raised his spoon and said proudly, "Ran Xuexue, cheers."
Ran Xuejuan looked at her chopsticks and without turning around for a moment, she took a spoon from the side and imitated Ran Le to prepare the rice: "Cheers, cheers."
Shi Zhufeng took the clean serving chopsticks and simply sat closer to serve the two of them.
Ran Xuejuan: "Don't bother, I can do it."
Shi Zhufeng looked at the spoon in Ran Xuejuan's hand and asked teasingly, "Is it easier to pick up food with a spoon?"
Ran Xuejuan felt dizzy, so she put down the spoon and used chopsticks instead.
Ran Le: "Ran Xuexue, take the next bite."
Ran Xuejuan immediately picked up the spoon again: "Oh, okay."
He also started to live a life where even his meals were supervised.
Shi Zhufeng smiled and picked up some food for them.
Ran Le’s favorite braised beef was left for last. He put on gloves, peeled the shrimps, two for each of them, and put them in their bowls.
Ran Xuejuan looked at the incomplete shrimp meat. This should be the first time that Shi Zhufeng peeled shrimp for others.
Ran Le took a big bite of shrimp with satisfaction.
The chewy texture and unique taste of shrimp fill the mouth. It turns out that cats should eat shrimp.
Ran Xuejuan once again realized how big of an appetite Ran Le had.
A bowl of soup, half a bowl of rice, and at least a bowl of vegetables. After eating all these, there is still room left to enjoy the braised beef.
Ran Le enjoyed it so much that he used two spoons in his two hands.
Give one piece to yourself, one piece to Ran Xuexue, leave one piece for Shi Zhufeng, and then give one piece to yourself.
Give another piece to myself, give one piece to Ran Xuexue, leave one piece for Shi Zhufeng, and give another piece to myself.
This was divided into six rounds.
There were twelve slices of braised beef in Ran Le's bowl, and six slices each for Shi Zhufeng and Ran Xuejuan.
Shi Zhufeng couldn't help laughing: "Just now you said that the director was a black-hearted director, and your method of dividing beef is not white either."
Ran Le bared his teeth: "Are you dissatisfied with me for eating too much?"
Shi Zhufeng put down his chopsticks and rubbed Ran Le's belly: "Excuse me, little Ran Le, can you really eat so much?"
He looked at Ran Xuejuan and said, "Why don't you give some to your Ran Xuexue? He is so skinny."
Ran Le turned around immediately.
Ran Xuejuan said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your eyes, I am not skinny."
Shi Zhufeng started eating and stopped talking, but his smiling eyes clearly showed that he was too thin.
Ran Le reluctantly gave three more pieces to Ran Xuejuan.
"Eat, you need to gain weight."
Ran Xuejuan looked at the beef in the bowl: "...Thank you."
But he really couldn't eat anymore. He had not eaten much in the past two years because of filming, his mood and some other reasons. His appetite was less than half of what it used to be. Today's two meals were considered a lot.
Shi Zhufeng: "Eat as much as you can. If you can't finish it, I'll eat it."
Ran Xuejuan lowered his eyes. His upbringing and politeness would not allow others to eat what he had left. He just followed Ran Le and they ate it up, one piece at a time.
He held his stomach, not feeling uncomfortable, just a little bloated for the first time in a long time.
Shi Zhufeng ate the remaining dishes and rice with a faint smile.
He also knew that Ran Xuejuan would never let others eat what they had left over. Eating more was a good thing. Ran Xuejuan looked healthy at the moment, but if he continued like this, he would become unhealthy sooner or later.
Over the years, he only cleaned up the mess when eating with the little one. Before, except at home, whenever he went out, he would touch the dishes first before others dared to touch them.
After all, the recording has just begun, and the production crew won’t be so cruel on the first day.
After dinner, we let them go back.
Shi Zhufeng looked at the fruits and vegetables at the door of his house and knew that the program crew had delivered them.
He carried all his stuff in.
Shi Zhufeng: "There is no stool. You can play with the little one on the carpet for a while. I will put these in the refrigerator."
Ran Xuejuan thought of the flowers and strawberries in the refrigerator.
Shi Zhufeng: "The strawberries are very fresh and should be able to be kept for another night. I will take out the white roses and hang them up, don't worry."
Ran Le took Ran Xuejuan by the hand and said, "Ran Xuexue, let's go and see the gifts."
Shi Zhufeng actually wanted to ask, since Ran Le didn’t know dates, how did he know that today was Ran Xuejuan’s birthday?
Accidental hit or just based on feeling?
He took out the flowers from the refrigerator and sorted the vegetables and fruits into categories.
There were a lot of flowers, and when I went to the bedroom, I saw that their suitcases from the show had been delivered. Ran Xuejuan was alone with only a small suitcase, while he and Ran Le had several large ones.
He found a shirt from the box, cut it into strips, and hung the flowers upside down in front of the window to dry. After doing all this, he found the things that Ran Le needed, disinfected the bathroom first, and came out after cleaning it and said, "Ran Xuejuan, can you give Le Le a bath? He must have been sweating today."
Ran Le's ears moved. He was sharing his twelfth little toy, which also happened to be the last one. He immediately put it down and threw himself into Ran Xuejuan's arms.
"Baby, let's go take a shower."
Ran Xuejuan also noticed that Ran Le was a little sleepy. He cried several times after playing for a whole day, so he must be tired.
"good."
He whispered, "Don't call me baby."
Ran Le suddenly felt that his idea was particularly good.
Ran Xuexue is his baby, so he should call her baby.
"Let's go, baby."
Ran Xuejuan: “…”
He curled his lips again and said, "Just scream."
After entering the bathroom, Ran Xuejuan realized that the little guy was not really wearing too much clothes, he was actually solid.
Shi Zhufeng was making the bed. He brought several sets of sheets and quilt covers this time, which should be enough. He had taken on several life-like dramas like this and was quite skilled at doing these things.
After laying out the space, take out the commonly used items, lay several large suitcases flat, cover them with mats and use them as tables.
After finishing everything, he looked at his watch and saw that it was time for his people to bring him something.
Shi Zhufeng went out to get something.
When Ran Xuejuan came out after giving Ran Le a bath, the bedroom seemed to have changed.
He put Lele on the bed and told her not to get out. While Shi Zhufeng was away, he took out his clothes and went to take a shower.
He washed quickly because he was worried about Ran Le being outside alone.
After washing and blow-drying my hair, I turned around and saw the little guy sitting and playing with his hands, but he could hardly open his eyes.
He went over and put Ran Le into the quilt: "Go to sleep."
Ran Le tried to open his eyes wide and said stubbornly: "Sleep together."
Ran Xuejuan estimated that it wouldn't be long before the little guy would fall asleep, so he lay down and patted Ran Le's back: "I'm here, don't leave, go to sleep."
Ran Le smelled Ran Xue's tired breath and gradually fell asleep.
Shi Zhufeng came back and went to the kitchen first.
Ran Xuejuan heard the noise and got out of bed cautiously.
Shi Zhufeng came back: "You haven't slept yet, just in time, come with me to the kitchen to check something out."
Ran Xuejuan knew that it was a paternity test, but in fact, the result was no longer important at this moment.
He couldn't be as cold-hearted towards Lele as before.
But he went to see it anyway.
This will confirm whether the previous life that Lele mentioned really existed.
Ran Xuejuan came to the kitchen, picked up the documents on the table, frowned and opened her eyes.
99.99%
99.99%
99.99%
......
More than a dozen copies, from different institutions, all with the same results.
He didn't know whether to be happy or ridiculous.
Before he could figure out what was going on, everything in front of him suddenly went dark.
Ran Xuejuan looked up, and Shi Zhufeng lit a match.
Only then did Ran Xuejuan notice that there was a cake on the table not far away. The cake was very small, just big enough to put a candle on it.
Shi Zhufeng: "I know you can't eat this cake, so I specially asked them to send the smallest cake. Since we don't have a table, we can only cook in the kitchen. Please make do with it."
He looked up at Ran Xuejuan with a smile in his eyes: "Birthday boy, make a wish."
The dim candlelight made Shi Zhufeng's smile look extremely dazzling.
The flickering eyes reminded Ran Xuejuan of Shi Zhufeng's eyes, which were often praised by film critics. They said that these eyes were naturally affectionate, and that when they were smiling and sparkling with peach blossoms, no one could resist being moved by such eyes.
Evaluation... true.
Ran Xuejuan half covered her eyes in panic and walked over: "Are you Lele? Why are you so obsessed with making a wish?"
Shi Zhufeng was half leaning against the cooking table, with tiny stars in his eyes.
“It’s called a sense of ritual.”
Ran Xuejuan repeated: "A sense of ritual."
He laughed and blew out the candle.
The candle went out and the kitchen fell into darkness. Just when Ran Xuejuan was about to turn on the light, a cluster of firelight came on. Shi Zhufeng lit another match. The light of the match was weaker than that of the candle. Ran Xuejuan could only see half of Shi Zhufeng's face.
The wind blew out the matches.
In the darkness, Ran Xuejuan heard Shi Zhufeng say, "Happy birthday to you, and may you live a healthy and happy life."
The lights are on.
Ran Xuejuan was the only one left in the kitchen.
He stared at the cake in a trance, and then he noticed a gift box next to it.
He opened the box and found a hand-folded rose inside. He remembered that in the film that Shi Zhufeng first won the award for, he played a mute who could fold paper roses.
Ran Xuejuan chuckled at first, then her laughter got a little louder, and finally her smile widened but the sound died down.
Shi Zhufeng is so annoying.
At the banquet, he warned Shi Zhufeng not to meddle in other people's business because it was easy to get trapped if someone like this got close to him.
Ran Xuejuan ate that piece of cake.
The cake was really small and was gone in two bites.
After eating the cake, he returned to the bedroom, opened the door and found that Shi Zhufeng was sleeping on the floor.
Shi Zhufeng raised his head and said, "You sleep with Lele. I have been sleeping with him for more than a month and I have suffered his cat punches every night. Now it's your turn to experience it."
"Don't worry about the quilt. The little guy is very accustomed to it and won't wet the bed."
Ran Xuejuan showed no emotion: "Okay."
He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth again, then looked in the mirror. The person in the mirror couldn't lie, so he closed his eyes.
