Dragon Boat Festival activities usually include eating rice dumplings and rowing dragon boats. Oh yes, and weaving colorful ropes. Some places also organize youth leagues.

Lu Yan thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to do, so she simply gave up thinking and just drew a lottery, buying rice dumplings and winning a family portrait gift package.

The diners all laughed when they saw Lu Yan taking out the old friend lottery box again.

"Shopkeeper Lu has gradually given up thinking."

"If you don't play games or compete, it all depends on luck, right?"

Lu Yan: "That's what it means. Gradually it becomes ruined."

The Dragon Boat Festival passed like this, May passed by in a flash, and it was June again, Lu Sheng’s birthday.

Lu Yan specifically asked Lu Sheng: "Do you still want to hold a banquet for your birthday this year?"

Lu Sheng shook his head: "My parents are here this year, so we can just get together as a family. Make me something delicious."

Lu Yan: "No problem."

Birthdays can be celebrated simply, but the proper rituals still have to be in place.

In the morning, there was still a bowl of longevity noodles, with only one noodle in the whole bowl. Lu Sheng didn't dare to bite it off and put it into his mouth bit by bit.

"You are one year older!" Lu Yan said happily, "I am really happy to see you grow up year by year."

Lu Sheng: "This is what I said as if I were an elder."

Lu Yan: "In my heart I am indeed."

Lu Sheng: "In my heart you are not."

Lu Yan: "Okay, don't talk anymore. I don't want to argue with you in such a happy day."

Lu Sheng: "Okay."

Lu Sheng went to school, and Lu Yan spent the entire afternoon preparing things for the evening. Although I said I won’t entertain others, it is still a small banquet after all, and it should have a sense of ceremony.

Lu Sheng didn't say what he wanted to eat, so it was up to Lu Yan to figure it out on her own. Most of the things he had made before were not very fresh, so Lu Yan planned to have a self-service meal. She would prepare everything for him, so he could eat whatever he wanted.

When Lu Sheng finished school in the evening, it was already dark and the lights in the small courtyard were brightly lit. Lu Yan took all the high stools in the store home and arranged them in a circle around the yard. The high stools were filled with all kinds of food and drinks.

There are various small cakes, fruit pies, egg tarts, and various dairy products in the snack area. There are various fruit juices in the beverage area, as well as various stir-fries, including his favorite pickled fish, Boiled pork slices, braised pork, braised meat, fried lotus root box, and fried chicken, fish, and chips.

Lu Yan also took out the barbecue stove and a small pot: "Whatever skewers you want to eat, I will grill them for you, or cook them for you."

Lu Sheng looked confused: "Wha...what's going on? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"No, this is the birthday banquet prepared for you today." Lu Yan said, "Whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you."

Lu Sheng: "I love to eat whatever you do!"

Lu Yan nodded: "Okay, then you go around and see what you want to eat."

Lu Sheng took two chicken tenders and asked, "Where are my parents?" while eating them.

Lu Yan: "I'm going to get you a birthday gift."

Lu Sheng:? ? ?

Lu Sheng: "There is actually a birthday gift?"

"Of course." Lu Yan said, "We prepared it together."

Lu Sheng: "Then I have to take a look."

Just as he was talking, Boss Lu and Mrs. Xu also came back from outside, holding a square wooden box with exquisite packaging in their hands.

Boss Lu: "Yan'er said I would prepare a gift for you, so we two old people joined in the fun together."

Mrs. Xu: "Let's see if you like it."

Lu Sheng hurriedly brought the box over. When he opened the box, there was a jade pendant inside. The jade pendant is of good quality and the carved patterns are very delicate. The shape of a writing brush is carved in the middle of the hollow pattern.

Lu Sheng hurriedly looked up at Lu Yan, who smiled and said, "I wish you a gold medal. Do you like it?"

Lu Sheng's eyes were a little sore, and he put the jade pendant into his arms: "I like it. I will treasure it well."

Lu Yan laughed: "There is no need to put it away for collection. I gave it to you just to wear it."

Lu Sheng was still a little embarrassed: "I gave you a wooden hairpin for the Lantern Festival last year. At that time, I said that I would buy it for you and my mother later, and I would buy it for you. But I didn't buy it for you yet, so you bought it for me first. .”

"One family doesn't talk to each other." Lu Yan said, "My mother and I are waiting for your good hairpin."

Mrs. Xu agreed: "Yes, mother knows that you will definitely be successful."

Boss Lu: "Okay, I have nothing to do anymore!"

The family laughed together. Everyone is here, and the small banquet has officially begun. Mrs. Xu heard about the barbecue party held for Lu Sheng's birthday last year, and she has been eager to experience it in person this year.

Lu Yan: "Okay, mom, I'll grill some mutton skewers right now."

Lu Sheng: "A few more chicken wings, you and your mother both love chicken wings."

Boss Lu slapped Lu Sheng hard.

Lu Sheng rubbed the shoulder that was sore from his father's slap and screamed, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, why are you so anxious! Grill some pork belly for dad, dad is going to beat me to death!"

Lu Yan smiled and put a row of skewers on the charcoal fire to grill. The cool evening breeze blew through, and the small courtyard was filled with the tempting smell of various meats, but what was more tempting than the food was the pleasant smell of fireworks.

After grilling skewers one after another, I finally had enough to eat and drink. Everyone slumped in their chairs and refused to get up.

Lu Yan struggled to get up and walked to the kitchen.

Lu Sheng stood up slightly: "What are you doing again?"

Lu Yan moved her steps and replied: "Go get your birthday cake."

Birthday cakes also appeared last year. Last year it seemed that people in some places would eat cake on their birthday.

Lu Sheng looked at the kitchen expectantly, and Lu Yan's figure soon appeared again. Lu Yan came out with a round cake. The cake was not small, about a foot wide, with a thick layer of fruit jam on it, and a thin candle stuck on top.

The cake was placed on the table. Lu Yan borrowed a fire to light the candles, and then urged Lu Sheng: "Quick, close your eyes and make a wish silently, then blow out the candles, and then you can eat the cake."

Lu Sheng closed his eyes, opened them after three to five seconds, and blew out the candles. Lu Yan pulled out the candle and handed the knife to Lu Sheng's hand: "The birthday girl will share the cake."

Each person holds a piece of cake in his hand. Everyone is full and can only take a few symbolic bites. Lu Yan asked Lu Sheng: "What wish did you make?"

Lu Sheng smiled: "What do you think?"

Lu Yan: "It's like being named on the gold list!"

Lu Sheng: "No."

Lu Yan: "What is that?"

Lu Sheng smiled again: "I won't tell you."

I hope that you will be by my side every birthday.
