Chapter 181 Zhao Houjing’s Birthday Gift
"How else could I have gotten it? Of course it was given by my grandfather. As for how my grandfather got it, it seems to have been awarded by the emperor. As for how the emperor got it, I don't know." Zhao Houyang said this, and glanced at his two brothers with pride. The meaning was almost saying, "I am the one that my grandfather loves most."
Zhao Houming could only give him an envious look, while Zhao Houjing also gave him a powerful gesture. This little guy, apart from anything else, if he wanted to please someone, there really was no one who could refuse him.
Seeing this, Zhao Lingmeng curiously leaned over to take a look. She could tell at a glance that it was cast using the method she had provided, and the craftsmanship was quite good. She had long understood that one thing should not be underestimated: the people of this era, many of whom were also very capable.
However, Zhao Lingmeng felt that Zhao Houyang was quite formidable, considering he had managed to pull the sword from his father's hand. She even glanced at him, still boasting about how powerful he was. She felt a little strange, but since the atmosphere was so good, she ignored it.
Zhao Houjing was so happy that he didn't know what to do. Both gifts he received today were his favorites. He even felt like he wished he could have a birthday every day.
This feeling reached its peak after he opened his mother's gift.
Zhao Lingmeng prepared for him a wooden bicycle with three wooden tires.
Not only Zhao Houjing was stunned, but even the two people watching next to him were stunned.
"Mom, this is you being partial. Why wasn't there anything for my birthday last year?"
Zhao Houming jumped out first and said, "There is no boy who doesn't like this."
"Your brother didn't have any birthday parties last year?" Zhao Lingmeng wasn't someone who could be manipulated by a brat. She had already considered this scenario when she gave him this gift.
"Well... I want it now too, what should I do?" Zhao Houming looked at Zhao Lingmeng unhappily.
Zhao Houyang also looked at Zhao Lingmeng expectantly. He felt that if his second brother could have it, he could have it too.
Zhao Lingmeng spread her hands, indicating that this was not her business, but she still made a feasible suggestion: "Then you two should discuss with your eldest brother whether he can lend it to you two to ride."
So Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang turned their eyes to their eldest brother again.
Zhao Houjing touched him lovingly. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he nodded in agreement. After all, he was his own brother, and they should share good things with each other in the future.
Zhao Houming wasn't very satisfied with the current one, because he and Zhao Houjing went to school together and went home together, so their schedules overlapped too much, and he probably wouldn't be able to have much fun. "Mom, I want this for my birthday this year, too, is that okay?"
Zhao Lingmeng nodded when she saw this. It happened that she didn't have to think about gifts anymore, so she was still very happy.
Seeing this, Zhao Houyang also quickly expressed his attitude, "Mom, I also want this for my birthday. Can I get an advance?"
Zhao Lingmeng thought about it. This kind of wood is not wear-resistant. If the three of them play together, it will probably break soon. The eldest brother will probably be unhappy, and it will also affect the relationship between the brothers.
"Okay, but you have to sign a note saying I've paid in advance for my birthday present. Otherwise, if you get tired of playing around and regret it later, I won't be able to explain it to you."
Zhao Lingmeng was determined to block every way for them to cheat. How could they regret something they had agreed to? She would never tolerate their bad habits!
Zhao Houming wanted to agree immediately, but Zhao Houyang was quicker than him.
"Mom, don't you trust us?" After saying this, Zhao Houyang looked at Zhao Lingmeng pretending to be sad, and it seemed that he was about to squeeze out a few tears in the next second.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care about that. She wasn't the one in a hurry anyway. "Just tell me whether you two want to sign or not! If you don't want to sign, forget it."
"Sign it!" Zhao Houyang gave up when he saw that this trick didn't work on his mother. He also realized that some tricks didn't work on his mother, and that what his mother decided was not something they could change.
"I'll sign too!" It can be seen that Zhao Houming really likes it. He looks so impatient, as if he is afraid of forgetting him.
Zhao Lingmeng, facing two pairs of eager eyes, could only say helplessly: "Alright! I'll let the people below do it, and then we'll sign a guarantee."
Anyway, she can't transform it this time, this part is still very delicate.
"How long will it take?" Zhao Houming really liked it and couldn't wait.
"About 15 days or so! I can't change it." Zhao Lingmeng shrugged helplessly. What's easy to get is hard to cherish. Let these two little guys wait a few more days!
Zhao Houming felt that this time was much less than he had imagined. Anyway, time passed very quickly when he was studying, so he didn't care about this little time and nodded with satisfaction.
Zhao Houyang thought this was taking a while, but he didn't want to appear more anxious than his older brother, as that would undermine his image of being steady and sensible. So he nodded as well.
He had to study anyway, and he had his own vegetable garden to tend to. He also had to plant flowers in the space outside his mother's study. It was his eldest brother's birthday today, and the flowers outside his mother's study had almost been plucked out. He was going to plant some flowers for her himself. He had so much on his plate, so he wasn't in a rush.
All I can say is that as Zhao Houyang grows older, he becomes more and more considerate, and he is more willing to spend time doing things to make his mother happy.
Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming were eager to live in books all the time, so they must have neglected these aspects. Their mother went out a long time ago and asked the three of them to plant flowers. They planted them seriously for two seasons, and later they thought they were all planted by the servants.
Later, many of these were planted by Zhao Houyang day by day, so Zhao Lingmeng would sometimes be more patient with Zhao Houyang. Who doesn't like such a child!
Zhao Houming studied hard all day, not knowing his home was about to be robbed. He used to be his mother's favorite son, but now that target was about to be replaced by Zhao Houyang. He waited a long time to find out, and he had a fight with his favorite brother.
For Zhao Houming, he can give up anything except his mother, as he is the son who has to provide for his mother in her old age.
Zhao Lingmeng didn’t know what the three brothers were thinking at the moment, but she felt that it was getting late.
"Hurry up and wash up and go to bed! You have to get up early for school tomorrow!" Zhao Lingmeng could only urge the three brothers helplessly.
The three brothers, who still cherished their new wooden cart, could only reluctantly bid Zhao Lingmeng farewell after hearing their mother's words. What they regretted most was that they couldn't play with the new wooden cart today.
