Chapter 180 Zhao Houjing's Birthday
"Humph, that's more like it!" Zhao Houyang said proudly with his head held high. After thinking for a moment, he added: "Happy birthday, big brother!"
"Thank you, third brother! I'm very happy today!" Zhao Houjing was truly happy. As he grew older, he came into contact with more and more people, but he also came to understand more and more how precious his mother and brothers' kindness and tolerance were.
He was really touched by the fact that his mother and brother had gone to so much trouble to help him arrange these things today. His mother's love was never perfunctory, and he felt very satisfied.
Zhao Lingmeng was delighted to see the three brothers enjoying themselves so happily. She believed no mother would be unhappy to see such a scene. "Okay, stop standing there chatting. Come over for dinner, and then we'll make a wish for your favorite birthday cake."
Upon seeing this, the three Zhao Houjing brothers immediately went over and sat down, then stared at the table full of dishes in a daze. To be more precise, there were so many delicious dishes that the three of them were drooling.
"Mom, there are so many delicious foods. Will we still have room for cake after we finish them?" Zhao Houjing looked at the dishes on the table and touched his stomach. His thoughts were all written on his face.
"Then let's eat the cake first?" Today is Zhao Houjing's birthday. Zhao Lingmeng is quite easy to talk to. Anyway, the main thing today is to make Zhao Houjing happy.
Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang didn't know how to choose, so they looked at Zhao Houjing expectantly, waiting for his decision. They both felt that no matter what they ate first, they would be fine.
Zhao Houjing looked at the dishes on the table, then thought about the delicious cake. He was very hesitant, but finally said helplessly: "Let's eat first! These look delicious too!"
"Okay, let's start eating!" Zhao Lingmeng said, and signaled with her eyes that Zhao Houjing should take the first chopstick.
"Mom, eat first!" Zhao Houjing looked at Zhao Lingmeng firmly. He was really grateful to his mother for giving birth to him, and for always tolerating him and even giving him the opportunity to choose.
When Zhao Lingmeng looked at Zhao Houjing's eyes, she knew that her eldest son was serious, so she did not refuse and took the lead in picking up the chopsticks.
Then Zhao Houjing also picked up his chopsticks, and then the four of them, mother and her two children, started eating like crazy.
After the four of them finished eating, they were really full. This time, in order to celebrate Zhao Houjing's birthday, Zhao Lingmeng personally thought of a few delicious dishes, so this result was inevitable.
But Zhao Lingmeng still ordered someone to bring the cake up, "Let's make a wish first, then eat a little. We'll eat the rest tomorrow! Do you three have any objections?"
When Zhao Houjing and his brother heard their mother's suggestion, they shook their heads in agreement, indicating that they had no objection.
So they waited for Zhao Houjing to make a simple wish, then each of them ate a small piece of cake, and then the others started to release it.
The four of them continued drinking digestive tea together, "It would be great if someone had a birthday every day!"
It was obvious that Zhao Houming had said this; only he could have such naive thoughts. But what was rare this time was that Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming also nodded in agreement. That's right, they both thought the same thing.
Finally, it was time to open the presents, the part Zhao Jing was most looking forward to tonight.
Then Zhao Houjing saw three people serving his mother bringing out three gifts.
Zhao Lingmeng pointed at the three boxes and explained: "This one is mine, this one belongs to your second brother, and this one belongs to your third brother." Zhao Lingmeng pointed to Zhao Houjing while speaking.
Zhao Houming also said, "Brother, you open my box first. My box is so big. I'm curious about what I gave you."
"I'm curious too!" Zhao Houyang immediately echoed Zhao Houming's words.
Zhao Lingmeng could only pat Zhao Houyang on the head speechlessly, "You, your second brother's lackey, shut up!"
Zhao Houyang replied with an unconvinced, "Humph!"
Zhao Houjing only thought about it for a moment, and decided to save his mother's surprise for last, so he opened Zhao Houming's first.
He opened it and saw that it was a book. He was a little disappointed at first, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you, second brother!"
As soon as Zhao Houjing opened it, he saw that the first page was a family portrait of their family of four, each doing their own thing.
Zhao Houjing was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Houming in disbelief: "Second brother, this is..."
"I drew some trivial things in the daily life of our family of four. Do you like it, second brother?" Zhao Houming looked at Zhao Houjing expectantly. He really wanted to know what Zhao Houjing really thought. After all, he had been preparing for this gift for a long time.
He even made time every day to learn painting from his mother, but it was difficult for him to keep it a secret from his eldest brother. He really wanted his eldest brother to like it.
"I like it, I like it very much!" Zhao Houjing flipped through a few more pages and then hugged the album tightly in his arms. He could hardly put it down.
"But when did you learn to paint?" Zhao Houjing was still curious about this.
"It's been a long time since I started learning this, and I learned it specifically for this gift for you. Although I can't draw very well now, this is a token of my love." Zhao Houming felt quite embarrassed when he mentioned this. How could he draw a book as a gift even though he couldn't draw very well?
"I like it very much, and I like the content inside even more." When Zhao Houjing heard Zhao Houming say this, he became even happier. He had a feeling of being valued.
Zhao Houyang, who was standing next to him, also looked at the album in his eldest brother's arms with envy, silently calculating when his birthday would come: "Then second brother, on my birthday, can you draw me one like this?"
"If you give the same thing, won't there be any surprise?" Zhao Houming didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he felt that it was a bit perfunctory.
When Zhao Houyang saw that Zhao Houming agreed, he immediately jumped up with joy, "Brother, I like this, I don't mind. You can draw different content, something about our family."
"Okay, as long as you don't mind." Seeing his brother so happy, Zhao Houming could only nod in agreement.
Zhao Houjing received the gift he liked, and ignored the jokes between Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang. He continued to open Zhao Houyang's gift, and saw that there was a sword in the box, which looked very sharp.
"Third brother, where did you get this?" No man doesn't love swords, and Zhao Houjing is no exception, but this is such a good one. He was very worried about where it came from. He didn't want his brother to do anything bad for his birthday.
