The city is different from the countryside. It is rare to find a treasure trove of fruits and vegetables as abundant as Pei's. Countless birds visit every day.
“Chichi.”
“Chirp.”
After being woken up by the sound of sparrows outside the window, Pei Tang jumped out of bed angrily, pushed open the window, stuck half of his head out and yelled at the yard: "It's so noisy!"
The sparrows foraging for food were startled by her roar and flew away.
Pei Tang, his ears quieted, climbed back into bed and prepared to continue sleeping.
The moment she lay down, something hit her back and it hurt.
She sat up, took the thing on her back and took a look, her eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.
It was the blue crystal necklace she had always dreamed of!
…
“Brother, brother!”
Pei Ziheng came home after his morning run. Looking at his sister running towards him happily, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
"Look at my crystal necklace. Is it pretty?"
His dark eyes fell on the girl's snow-white neck, and the dark blue crystal pendant sparkled.
"nice."
Pei Tang happily spun around in circles, dancing with joy, "I've decided, I want to wear a blue dress today, so that it can match my necklace."
Perhaps infected by her happiness, the German Shepherd also tucked its tail between its legs and circled in front of the brother and sister, making the family laugh.
"Wash your hands and have breakfast."
“Here it comes!”
Pei Tang walked happily towards the dining table, took two steps, thought of something, turned around and ran back to Pei Ziheng, spreading out his white and tender palms.
"Brother, where is my birthday present?"
"On my desk."
"I'll get it."
Shen Mingzhu reminded: "Guoguo, it's time to eat."
"I'll be right down!"
Watching his daughter jumping up to the second floor, Pei Yangle said amiably, "Let her be. She only has one birthday a year. Let her be happy for a day."
Shen Mingzhu sneered: "You really know how to pamper your daughter."
Pei Yang said sarcastically while setting the table, "Are you jealous? How about I pamper you too?"
“I also eat soy sauce.”
Pei Yang turned around and called Pei Ziheng over after washing his hands, "Go, pour a bowl of soy sauce for your mother."
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes.
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat soy sauce? Why are you still unhappy?"
"Go away~"
"My son is here, please be polite to me."
Pei Ziheng looked at the couple and said, "Should I be under the table instead of here?"
Pei Yang: "We already have a German Shepherd at home."
After saying that, he was kicked by Shen Mingzhu.
After breakfast, Shen Mingzhu took her daughter to the room to change her skirt and braid her beautiful pigtails, while the father and son put candies, fruit drinks and ingredients for making birthday cakes into the trunk.
Making birthday cake on site is an important part of today's birthday party.
"Mom, brother, look, those balloons are in the shape of flower petals, so beautiful!"
While still some distance away from the buildings in the town, Pei Tang spotted the semicircular arch made of balloons, and his eyes lit up with joy.
Pei Tang immediately looked at Pei Yang who was driving the car in the front row: "Thank you, Dad!"
Pei Yang looked ahead and patted her head with his free hand, "Be good."
When they arrived at the place, Pei Tang couldn't wait to jump out of the car, ran to the balloon arch, and counted how many flowers there were.
There is actually no technical requirement to make flowers with balloons, it is just time-consuming.
Put five balloons of the same color into a circle, put a two-size smaller yellow balloon in the middle as the pistil, and you have a flower.
Then piece the balloon flowers together along the arched iron frame, and a beautiful balloon arch is ready.
In order to maintain the beauty, a layer of balloon flowers should also be put on the back of the arch, so that the iron frame can be perfectly hidden.
In addition to the arch of balloon flowers, there are "grasses" made of balloons every half step from the door to the yard.
The grass is made of green balloons, the grass stems are long balloons, and a beautiful balloon flower is tied to the top.
The whole yard was decorated with colorful balloons and turned into a sea of flowers.

Not to mention that Pei Tang was so happy that he almost went crazy, even Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but envy him.
Because this was the childhood happiness she never had.
Many times, her love and care for her children is actually filling the regrets in her original life.
Her love for her children is never a one-sided devotion, but also a redemption and relief for herself.
…
After ten o'clock, the guests arrived one after another.
In addition to the children of relatives and friends, Pei Tang's own good friends also attended the birthday party, about fourteen or fifteen children, plus their accompanying parents, a total of about thirty people.
When most people had arrived, Shen Mingzhu took out the ingredients and utensils and prepared to teach the children how to make birthday cakes.
The accompanying parents were divided into two groups.
One group accompanied the children to learn how to make birthday cakes, while the other group wandered around the yard and picked ripe fruits to eat.
In addition to fruit trees such as peach, plum, apricot and pear in the yard, there is also a melon field where watermelons, melons and cantaloupes are planted.
"Aunt Mingzhu, why is the birthday cake you made rectangular?"
"I know the birthday cakes you usually eat are round, so today I made one in a shape you haven't eaten before."
Shen Mingzhu used a scraper to smooth the cream while patiently explaining: "In addition to round and rectangular shapes, birthday cakes can also be made into square, crescent, heart, and various small animal shapes. Once you learn how to make birthday cakes, you can make your favorite shapes at home."
The air was filled with the sweet aroma of cake and cream, making the children drool.
Most of the children were very well-behaved. They watched Shen Mingzhu make the cake carefully, swallowing their saliva. However, there were one or two naughty ones who kept lying over the cream bowl and scooping the cream in the bowl with their fingers to eat.
Shen Mingzhu looked around and saw that no parents were watching, so she said, "You can't do that. It's not polite, and eating with your hands is not hygienic. When the birthday cake is ready, eat it with your friends. I'll give you a big piece then."
A parent was concentrating on watching Shen Mingzhu's teaching. Seeing that he was interrupted by a child, he said angrily: "Whose child is this? You don't care about stealing food."
"Han Xiuxiu, you are cheating, shame on me!"
The little girl was thin-skinned and could not stand such ridicule. She immediately pouted and burst into tears.
Hearing their child crying, the parents came over quickly.
"Xiu'er, what's wrong?"
"Oh my god——"
The little girl threw herself into her parents' arms, crying sadly and aggrieved, as if she had been bullied.
"She stole the cream!"
"Aunt Mingzhu didn't let her eat, so she started crying!"
The children chattered away, telling us everything.
"What's the point of stealing or not? The food is just there for people to eat, isn't it?"
Mother Han said something sarcastically, then lowered her head and lectured her child: "Why are you crying? You asked for it. I told you not to come but you insisted on coming. Now you get scolded every time you eat." (End of this chapter)
