In modern times, Jiang Yue's birthdays aren't actually real. She was thrown into an orphanage before she could even remember anything, so the orphanage celebrates the children's birthdays based on the date they were adopted.
Every March 1st, she and a bunch of other children would be surrounded by a crowd singing Happy Birthday. The gifts were wholesale stationery. There was no special treatment, no special love. So, she didn't really feel any anticipation or excitement for her birthday.
But now, Jiang Nian is with her.
She registered the same date as Jiang Nian's birthday in his household registration, making him two years older than her.
"Can you stir the eggs, son?"
"good."
Jiang Yue handed the simple homemade egg beater to Jiang Nian and asked him to beat the eggs.
Jiang Nian lowered his head and was very serious about everything he did.
After following the steps one by one, a soft and fluffy cake base without cream is steamed, and the aroma of eggs fills the whole house.
She used sesame seeds to write two pairs of numbers, 16 and 18, on it.
The candles nowadays are of very poor quality, so I won’t use them anymore.
Putting the cake in the middle of the table, she sang the Happy Birthday song softly. Jiang Nian had never heard such a song before and thought it was beautiful, so he listened to her quietly.
"Come, clasp your hands together like I did, close your eyes, and make a wish."
"What is a wish?"
"Just what you want to do? What do you like to do?"
Jiang Nian was lost in thought, imitating her wish, "I want Yueyue to make me eggs every day, to hold Yueyue in my arms while I sleep, and to make Yueyue smile every day..."
Jiang Yue wanted to remind him not to speak out his wishes, but she stopped the next second. She was in every one of Jiang Nian’s wishes.
After Jiang Nian finished reading out the long list of wishes, she also closed her eyes and said, "I hope that next year, the year after, and many years after, we can still celebrate our birthdays together."
After making the wish, she opened her eyes and found Jiang Nian coming closer, his face so close that she could clearly count how many long eyelashes he had under his eyes.
The kiss came as expected, and then left as quickly as a dragonfly touching the water.
Jiang Nian sat back down, his eyes twinkling like stars. He smiled, not just his eyes, but also the corners of his mouth, his whole body emitting a joyful aura, which was really beautiful.
Jiang Yue was also stunned, feeling like flowers blooming on the barren land.
She stood up and sat across Jiang Nian's strong thighs face to face. She pulled his big hands and placed them on her waist, then put her arms around his neck, pressed her forehead against his, and touched his lips with his, their breaths blending as they spoke.
"Today you turn 18, I'm going to teach you what a French kiss is."
Like a bewitching enchantress, she whispered, "Open your mouth."
Jiang Nian swallowed, then obediently opened his lips, and a soft tongue came in and touched his.
His pupils trembled and he was a little at a loss.
Jiang Yue used her tongue to explore, she knew where Jiang Nian's sensitive spots were.
Suddenly, he licked his little fangs, and the person under him shuddered slightly.
Found it.
Jiang Yue played for a while, and when she saw his face flushed, she stopped.
Two silver streaks of saliva crisscrossed on her lips, making her look quite amorous. But the other person had a pure and innocent look on his face, and Jiang Yue felt like she was corrupting the child.
Her right hand rested on his chest, "You're beating so fast."
She buried her head in Jiang Nian's shoulder, enjoying the beauty of silence.
After a while, her heartbeat calmed down and she stood up and sat back on her stool.
"Yueyue, I..." Jiang Nian was still staring at her rosy lips, as if he was still unsatisfied.
"Let's eat cake." Jiang Yue refused mercilessly and diverted his attention.
You are still young, so just test the edge. You can make the gun spark but not accidentally fire it.
Well, she is a woman of principle.
Jiang Nian pursed his lips, a little unhappy, but still took a knife to cut the cake and ate it, using his eggs to comfort himself.
Jiang Yue lit the kang and took out a ten-pound quilt. There was also a big stove next to her, and the whole world was warm.
It started snowing heavily again in the middle of the night. The next morning, when Jiang Yue opened the door, she clearly felt that the thickness of the snow on the ground had doubled, and it should have covered her calves.
Jiang Nian can take care of himself now. He puts on rabbit fur gloves and a hat, pulls his cotton coat tight, and prepares to sweep the snow.
When the craftsmen came to renovate the house, they bought a tall ladder, which came in handy this time for sweeping the snow off the roof.
The roofs here are all tiled, and if the snow is not cleared, the roofs may collapse.
She cleared a space on the ground, held the ladder from below, and Jiang Nian took the broom and went up to the roof to sweep.
He was not afraid of heights, had great strength and steady movements, and in a short while he had swept most of the snow off the roof.
He was about to turn around and get down the ladder when a voice came from the right, "Sir, can you help me? We are two weak women and we really can't sweep it down."
Jiang Nian looked down at the yard on the right. There were two women inside, looking at him and talking. He had seen them before, but didn't know them. He ignored them and went down the ladder.
Seeing someone coming down, Jiang Yue patted the snow stuck to him and said, "I just heard someone talking next door. Was they talking to you? I didn't hear clearly."
Jiang Nian shook his head and said, "I don't know who I'm talking to." Then he repeated the sentence.
Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow and patted his arm, "Well done, ignore them next time you see them."
After saying this, she climbed up the ladder. Since she was bored, she decided to have some fun.
After Jiang Yue went up, she looked to the right and saw that it was indeed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Xiucai, are your men disabled? It's not easy for two women to sweep the snow. It's not impossible for my husband to help."
"But my husband is young. For the sake of your reputation, it's better not to go. It's not appropriate."
Just now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in their own courtyard, talking quietly, just between the two families. But Jiang Yue had climbed up high, and her voice was clear and powerful, and her words were clearly pronounced.
Now people on every street were sweeping snow from their roofs, and the neighbors who were close to them could hear the conversation clearly.
A middle-aged man said with a smile, "Scholar's wife, I'm old and I'm not afraid of ruining my reputation. I'll go over and sweep the snow for you!"
The woman holding the ladder below glared at him and said, "If you dare go there, I'll break your legs!"
One widower simply shouted, "Can I help you sweep? Can I pay you?"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Jiang Yue came down after she finished shouting. Doing shameless things and still wanting to save face? No way!
Liu and Li Niang didn't expect the situation to turn out like this, and their faces turned red with embarrassment.
Mr. Wang, who was studying in the house, ran out in a hurry and yelled at them to go back into the house. His reputation was about to be ruined by these two ignorant women!
In order to avoid being laughed at, Mr. Wang actually set up a ladder to sweep the snow in the middle of the night.
