Jiang Liu doesn't know yet that Zhiqi has prepared a gift for her.

She took a leave from the hospital and prepared to make a cake for Zhiqi early in the morning.

There are no convenient hair dryers nowadays, so I have to do my hair by hand. Jiang Hui almost broke her hand when she was doing her hair this morning.

When Shen Mo came back from training, she gave him the assigned work.

The man's strength was not on the same level as hers, and she almost broke her hand, but Shen Mo healed it in no time.

In the afternoon, Jiang Gui finally baked a perfect cake base. The cake wanted to float out of the yard, attracting the passing military families to look over here frequently.

But Shen Mo and Jiang Liu's reputation in the family courtyard is not going away. Shen Mo was promoted and Jiang Liu was on the newspaper.

Which military family could do what she did?

Shen Mo also took half a day off to help Jiang Qi.

Soon there was a sound outside the door.

As soon as Shen's mother reached the door, she shouted, "Hey, mom and dad are here."

Jiang Xi poked his head out from the kitchen, "Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Qianqian, come in quickly."

Shen Mo went over and took the things from Shen's mother's hand, and took a quick look. They were basically children's belongings.

Shen Ziming and Shen Qianqian also had something in their hands.

"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? It smells so good." Qianqian jumped in front of Jiang Xiu and looked at the cake base that Jiang Xiu had made with curiosity.

Jiang Xi smiled and replied, "Cake."

Shen Mo saw that it was almost time, so he went to the other side to meet Captain Li's family. Captain Li's family arrived, and then Yang Zhengtu came first.

Because it was Zhiqi's birthday, the door of the house was wide open.

The hustle and bustle in the house attracted the sisters-in-law passing by from time to time, and some of them curiously poked their heads in to take a look.

Someone asked what this was for, Jiang Xi said it was for the child's birthday, and the person left immediately.

If you invite so many people to your child's birthday, you have to give gifts, right?

Slipped away. Slipped away.

Is it necessary to go to so much trouble just to celebrate a child's birth?

And he is an adopted child.

Everyone in the family compound knew that Captain Shen's family had adopted Huo Zhiqi, an orphan of a soldier. Even though he was not their own child, they treated him very well.

Not scolding often is considered good behavior.

Look at the family of Chief Wang who adopted Zhiqi. Old Mrs. Wang always scolds the child.

I heard that he was very nice to the child at first, but gradually he became a bad person.

They all wondered when Captain Shen's family would become like Old Lady Wang's.

But it's been so long, how come things are different from what they expected? They even held a birthday party for the child.

When Huo Zhiqi and Qian Feng got home, they saw a few aunties gathered outside his house.

He thought something had happened at home, his face turned pale and he immediately pushed through the crowd and ran back home.

Jiang Xi was counting the time for Huo Zhiqi to come back. When he saw Huo Zhiqi, Jiang Xi brought a small cake to him and said, "Zhiqi, happy birthday!"

Smelling the aroma of the cake, he looked up at Jiang Xi's face.

What about life?

He has never had a birthday.

In the past, his family was poor and there was no one to celebrate his birthday.

Jiang Xi saw him staring at him blankly, "What's wrong? Why don't you give me any response?"

Huo Zhiqi knew that he was a big boy now and he couldn't cry casually. He sniffed to hold back his tears and quickly took the small cake that Jiang Xing handed to him.

"Thank you, Mom."

Jiang Liu made a big cake and a small cake, and gave the small cake to the little guy first to satisfy his hunger.

Huo Zhiqi felt warm and moved.

But he didn't expect there would be a surprise.

He stared blankly at Father Shen, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Auntie all told him to have a happy birth, as well as Uncle Li's family, Uncle Yang, and Uncle Qian all told him to have a happy birth.

Finally, Auntie Li's daughter said to him in a baby voice, "Happy Birthday," and he couldn't help crying.

It was as if all the grievances that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly came out.

Since he was adopted by his mom and dad, he has never been wronged.

But when he was with his mother before, his father was not at home, and his mother was bullied by his uncles. Later, his mother fell ill and passed away, and his father donated his body for the country. He became a wild child without a father or a mother, and was adopted by Uncle Wang's family for three years, and was looked down upon by them.

He thought he would live in darkness all his life, but the appearance of Mr. Shen and Mrs. Jiang gave him hope.

Let him move forward firmly.

His crying made everyone rush over, and in the end it was Shen's mother, Mrs. Li, who had experience in coaxing children.

Mother Shen also knew that the child had suffered a lot at a young age. She also brought the child here. As a loving mother, she couldn't bear to see her child suffer, so she immediately held Zhiqi in her arms to comfort him.

It took him a long time to stop crying.

Huo Zhiqi wiped his tears and looked around.

He now has a father, a mother, a grandparents, uncles and aunts. He is no longer a wild child without a mother.

Two tables were set up in the yard for dinner, and after dinner it was time to give birthday gifts.

Shen 꿵 bought new clothes by her mother, Shen Ziming bought stationery, and Shen Qianqian bought some snacks.

Captain Li and his team gave red envelopes of five yuan each, and Yang Zhengtu and Qian Feng also gave red envelopes.

Huo Zhiqi was stunned by the sudden happiness.

Seeing him holding the gift in a daze, Jiang Xi nudged Shen Mo with his elbow, signaling him to take out the gift they had prepared.

Shen Mo went into the room and took out a long box.

Jiang Xi waved to Zhiqi.

Huo Zhiqi put down the gifts in his hands and walked over obediently.

Jiang Xing squatted down and opened the box. Inside the box was a gold peace lock.

Jiang Xi took out the safety lock and put it on him, saying, "I hope our Zhiqi will be safe and sound throughout his life."

Huo Zhiqi's eyes turned red, and he said, "Mom, I bought you a gift, too."

Jiang Xi: "Hmm?"

Huo Zhiqi also took out a box, inside of which lay a gold necklace.

He felt a little embarrassed because it was far inferior to what his mother had given him, but he had always wanted to buy a gift for his mother.

He is still young and can afford something like this.

Jiang Xi smiled and took out the necklace and handed it to Zhiqi, "Put it on mom."

Huo Zhiqi took the necklace and put it on Jiang Xi.

After putting it on, Huo Zhiqi tugged at the hem of his clothes with his little hands, then held Shen Mo's hand beside him. He tilted his head and said, "Dad, I'll buy you a gift later."

“Hahahahahaha—”

There was a harmonious laughter in the yard.

After the birth, Jiang Li changed from a loving mother to a strict mother.

I did not delay my studies, nor did I delay teaching Huo Zhiqi.

The little boy is so thrifty that when Jiang Qing was teaching the child, his mother and he never blushed once.

Shen Mo saw that Jiang Xi was still reading even at night.

Time flies, it's almost July, the weather is getting hotter, Shen Mo was worried that it would be too hot so he bought an electric fan, but he has only turned it on a few times since he bought it.

Jiang Xi thinks that the noise of the discarded electric fan is too loud, and it is easy to get sick and have a headache if you use it for a long time.

After Shen Mo learned about this, he would bring back watermelons chilled with mountain spring water every day.

When Jiang Xing was sitting in front of the desk in her bedroom in the yard, Shen Mo sat a little behind her with a fan and fanned her.

Make sure your presence doesn't bother her and makes her feel cooler.

Jiang Xi saw that he kept fanning himself and didn't want him to get tired so he refused, but Shen Mo never listened.

She just let him go.

He even instructed Zhiqi, the little guy, to fan her when he was not at home to keep mosquitoes away.

Zhiqi, who just had his summer vacation, became a hardworking little bee.
