Chapter 69 Happy Birthday
"How do you feel?" Elder Liao looked at Jiang Yang and asked.

"I have gained a lot, Xiaoyue also taught me how to choose spices." Jiang Yang said.

"Haha, that girl Xiaoyue is teaching you? She is half full of water. I will talk to you about this when I have time." Old Liao said.

"Thank you Mr. Liao, Xiaoyue knows more than me, and I should learn from her." Jiang Yang said.

"Well, not bad. Threesomes must have my teacher. It's good that you understand." Old Liao admired.

Jiang Yang didn't answer, but asked Mr. Liao a few questions.Mr. Liao also answered patiently, without any impatience, even though some questions seemed rudimentary.

In this way, one old and one young asked questions and answered, and soon it was time for Jiang Yang to go back.Mr. Liao looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late, you should go back."

Jiang Yang said goodbye and went back to the shop.

After the fermentation of time, the business of Jiangyang's small shop is getting better and better.The only thing that is speechless is that most of the people who come here come to drink.Jiang Yang couldn't laugh or cry as if he treated this place as a bar.

Get some stuff ready and open the store door to welcome customers.

Zhu Song was dragged here by a friend, his birthday is today.Originally, he planned to take advantage of his birthday to take his girlfriend out to have fun.The two of them work on weekdays and don't have much time to be together, that is, they only stay together when their eyes are eating.Not to mention going out to play together, it is rare to be able to rest on the same day.

It's his birthday, and his girlfriend has prepared in advance to have a rest today, and so is Zhu Song.It was originally a very happy event, but the subsequent development deviated from Zhu Song's plan.

The girlfriend's parents want them to go back to celebrate Zhu Song's birthday, how could Zhu Song be willing.He had planned so long in advance, and all the scenarios he had imagined in advance were destroyed by this incident.

His girlfriend originally planned not to go back, but she couldn't stand the family saying that she wanted Zhu Song to go back with her.At night, the two had a big quarrel, one wanted to go back, and the other didn't.

In the end, his girlfriend returned home alone, leaving Zhu Song to spend her birthday alone.Zhu Song cried when he thought about it alone. He came to this city alone for her.He has no relatives, and the only person closest to him does not accompany him on his birthday.

Last night, Zhu Song didn't know how he lived, insomnia, insomnia.I fell asleep in a daze until the early morning, and woke up again at noon.

Looking at the empty rental house, Zhu Song couldn't help feeling sad.Looking at the red envelopes sent by his parents and the happy birthday they said on WeChat, Zhu Song's eyes turned red.

I didn't eat at noon, I only drank some water when I was thirsty.What saddens him is not that he is alone for his birthday, but that the person left him to spend his birthday alone.

He was in a daze all afternoon, lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone over and over again.Until a call from his friend forced him out.

"Boss, can I borrow your place for my birthday?" Several young people said to Jiang Yang.

"Okay, just don't get too dirty," Jiang Yang said.

"Don't worry, if you get dirty, I will definitely clean it up for you." One of the youths said.

"That's no problem," Jiang Yang said.

"Okay! Thank you, boss!" the young man thanked.A few people turned around to make arrangements, which was actually not complicated, they just hid the prepared cakes.

"Hey, where are you? Oh, we'll be here soon! Okay, come quickly, I'll wait for you!" A young man made a call and winked at a few people, who immediately understood, and then followed their agreement come.

Zhu Song has never been to this restaurant, "Missing Restaurant?" Zhu Song muttered softly, it doesn't look like a drinking place!He didn't understand why he chose this place. When he heard about drinking, he thought it was at a bar or a barbecue stand.

With doubts, Zhu Song still walked in.

"Here are the pine nuts!" someone shouted with sharp eyes.

Zhu Song took a look, several friends.It's just a few friends who came here for fun when they were studying. I didn't expect them to get together today.Zhu Song didn't know that they celebrated his birthday, he didn't tell anyone.

"You are all here." Zhu Song sat on one of the only two remaining seats.

"Hey, where's your girlfriend?" Someone asked strangely.

"Oh, she's home." Zhu Song said with darkened eyes.

Several people looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Come to drink, do you want to drink white or beer today?" Someone responded and quickly changed the subject.

"Hey, San'er, are you drifting away? You dare to ask whether it's white or beer!" A young man teased.

"Er... just pretend I didn't speak." San'er was instantly cowardly.

"Hahaha..." Several people laughed.The atmosphere gradually became lively, and they began to make fun of each other in good faith.

"Boss, let's have a case of beer first!" Someone shouted.Jiang Yang silently moved a case of beer over there. Although he couldn't reap happiness, he could make money. Jiang Yang kept comforting himself.

As soon as the beer was served, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic.At this time, someone suggested: "Let's play a game, how about a beer with your eyes closed?"

"It's okay, but how do you play? Can't you just drink with your eyes closed?" someone said.

"It's simple. I have a deck of playing cards here. Let's each draw a card and put it on the forehead. Then compare the size in groups of two. You can guess whether it is bigger or smaller than the other party. If you guess right, you don't drink. Drink. How about it, simple?" said the young man.

"Okay, let's go." Several people quickly started playing, and someone held an A and looked around for comparisons.The people around me laughed straight away, and they were also generous, and occasionally made jokes about the laughter of the people around them.

Of course, the cards in this game have to be changed every time they are played, otherwise no one would be able to drink.

When it was Zhu Song's turn to drink, he was not pretentious, and started to drink after filling up.He doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, and even when friends gather, he still tastes it a little bit, which is rare like today.This is because I feel uncomfortable, and I am using alcohol to relieve my worries.

Zhu Song drank slowly, there was no way he always drank like this.When he finished drinking and opened his eyes, he found a cake on the table.Someone was lighting candles, and saw Zhu Song opened his eyes and stood there awkwardly.

"Happy birthday to you." Someone said softly.

Zhu Song's eyes turned red, and his voice choked up: "Thank you, thank you!"

"No way, I'm so moved that I'm about to cry? Don't wait for the meeting to make a promise with your body!" Someone said.

"Fuck you!" Zhu Song cursed with a smile.

No one cares, what's wrong with swearing?It's always been like that between them.

Cutting the cake and dividing the cake, even Jiang Yang parted ways.

"Happy birthday! For you." Jiang Yang said as he sent a barbecue.

"Thank you!" Zhu Song said with red eyes.

Everyone made a fuss for a while, and began to order food and drink, which was very lively.Zhu Song also gradually forgot about his girlfriend's departure in such an atmosphere. He didn't celebrate his birthday alone, and these friends remembered it.

At this moment, the cell phone rang suddenly, and Zhu Song saw that his girlfriend was calling.He stood there in a daze, motionless.Someone with sharp eyes said, "Hurry up!"

Zhu Song's body shook, he took a deep breath and picked it up, tremblingly said: "Hello."

"I'm back, open the door." His girlfriend said.

"I'm outside." Zhu Song said.

"Where are you? I came to find you and bought you a cake." His girlfriend said.

Zhu Song looked at the time. At 12:[-] in the morning, he suddenly smiled and said, "Today is not my birthday anymore."

"..." There was silence on the phone, and it took a long time before he said, "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay. My friend is celebrating my birthday with me. I'll go back later." After Zhu Song finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Several people glanced at each other, and someone said: "Oh! It's so late? It's over, it's over, and I have to go to work tomorrow, why don't we come here first? Continue on another day?"

"Okay, I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Yes, it's so late, I didn't find it. Fortunately, you found it early."

Everyone said, paid the money and left.

Jiang Yang watched them leave, took out his study notebook and wrote:
The world is in a hurry, so you don’t have to be alone, because there is always someone who remembers you and is willing to spend time with you on your important day.
