Father Lu glared at her:

"I was moved to tears by the fragrance."

Mother Lu:........

That night they changed into new quilts, drank new tea, and slept very soundly.

Lu Huaijin looked at the date on the calendar and suddenly a blessing came to his mind. His birthday was next week.

I haven’t celebrated my birthday for many years. The reason I remember this is because this day is the Little New Year and we celebrate the Kitchen God.

When I was a kid, my family would prepare a lot of food every year, such as sugar-coated melon sticky rice, melon seeds, peanuts, etc.

He was not greedy for food, and in recent years, no one would worship gods, so no one would prepare a lot of food on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

But thinking of Xu Niannian's thoughtfulness towards his nephew last time and that bowl of longevity noodles, he was shamefully moved.

How should I remind her that her birthday is coming?

After breakfast in the early morning, I walked to the training ground with brisk steps.

He stared at Zhang Liang's back for a long time.

Zhang Liang naturally felt it, and went to find Lu Huaijin:

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's okay so I can't see you?"

Zhang Liangji felt like his skin was crawling and he waved his hands quickly:

"No, brother, just give me a quick answer, what's going on?"

Lu Huaijin coughed lightly:

"Come to my house for dinner tonight."

Zhang Liang's eyes lit up:

"Really? We are brothers, so don't bully me."

"real."

"Good, good, good, we can really share the blessing."

He was so naive that he didn't think he would need help.

At noon, Lu Huaijin told Xu Niannian that Zhang Liang especially liked to eat vegetables at home and wanted to come for dinner in the evening, so she didn't need to prepare much and could just fry an extra dish of vegetarian dishes.

Xu Niannian naturally agreed.

It is winter now, and the space in the kitchen is a bit small for guests to eat, so Lu Huaijin led everyone to sit down in the living room.

Zhang Liang watched Lu Huaijin pour him a cup of hot tea, and became restless again:

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."

He felt like a knife was hanging over his head.

Lu Huaijin touched his chin and spoke hesitantly:

"Next week, December 23rd, is my birthday."

Zhang Liang nodded:

"Okay, it's your birthday."

Then he opened his eyes wide:

"Are you asking me for a birthday present?"

In his impression, birthdays are celebrated by men for women. Lu Huaijin has been single for so many years and has never celebrated a birthday.

Is it possible that getting married has become pretentious?

Lu Huaijin glanced at him and frowned a little:

"No, just remind my wife when my birthday is."

He didn't want a birthday present from a stinky man.

Zhang Liang's mouth opened and never closed.

Xu Niannian, who was outside the door, was also surprised. At the moment, she was holding a plate of milk cake.

This was made for the kids in the morning. Thinking that the food was not ready yet, I let the two grown men eat some first.

I didn't expect to hear such explosive news before I even walked in.

Zhang Liang blurted out:

"Why don't you tell her directly? Is it possible that I am closer to her? Or did you have a fight with her?"

He even began to suspect that he had come to attend a Hongmen Banquet.

Or the kind that he said at the last minute, which shows that you are naive and fall for it.

Lu Huaijin frowned and retorted:

"Of course I have a good relationship with my wife and we have never quarreled, but she is pregnant now and I don't want to put pressure on her. She knows it through you. If she wants to give me the baby, then she can give it to me. If she doesn't want to give me the baby, then she can't."

Otherwise, he would say that according to Xu Niannian's personality, he would definitely get it.

This seemed like the birthday present he was going to get.

He doesn't want to.

Xu Niannian was laughing while listening outside. Lu Huaijin had a keen hearing and didn't dare to listen for too long. He took the milk cake and secretly returned to the kitchen.

While cooking, I thought of Lu Huaijin's words and finally couldn't hold back my laughter.

Hearing the noise of children outside, she quickened the stir-frying process.

Not long after, the food was ready.

When Lu Huaijin came to the kitchen to serve the food, he saw Xu Niannian blushing and quickly patted her head:

"Are you hot?"

Xu Niannian held back her smile:

"No, bring the food out."

"Okay, you go out first, I'll serve it."

When everyone was halfway through eating, Xu Niannian munched on a steamed bun, waiting for Zhang Liang to start his speech.

Sure enough, after Zhang Liang ate two large steamed buns, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly:

"Brother, remember, your birthday is next week? Remember when it was your birthday last year, we were still on a mission, and this year you already had a baby."

Lu Huaijin nodded reservedly.

Zhang Liang glanced at Xu Niannian and found that she was motionless.

Suddenly I remembered that I didn't make the date clear.

Then he continued:

"Your birthday is so lucky, it's the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, what a great birthday."

Before Lu Huaijin could reply, Lu Ze, who was sitting next to him, spoke first:

"Uncle Liang, my ears hurt so much because of you. Why are you talking so loudly today?"

Zhang Liang's face suddenly felt hot. Was he speaking loudly? Was he doing it on purpose?

He glanced at Xu Niannian guiltily and saw that she didn't react.

He said awkwardly:

"I'm really envious of your uncle for finding a good wife. He's so awesome. I wish I had a wife and kids by this time next year."

The corners of Lu Huaijin's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that he was so good at adding drama to himself.

In a disguised way, she wants someone to introduce her to someone.

Xu Niannian smiled:

"I think you should go to Aunt Zhou and ask her to introduce you to some people, or go to a social gathering."
