turn back grass

During the lunch break, Yao Jing received a call from Ding Han, who asked what program was planned for Yao Jing's birthday.

Yao Jing quickly glanced at the schedule on the desktop: "Not yet."

"Sure, I'll make an appointment with my brothers at that time. We'll all come out to have a meal together that day, and then I'll have a party with you to congratulate you."

Yao Jing reminded him jokingly: "Remember to prepare presents for me, you have to buy more expensive ones, otherwise I won't accept the goods."

The birthday arrangement is tentatively like this.

After hanging up, he opened the app on his mobile phone and took a look at Lu Jinchang's movements as usual.

It turned out that Lu Jinchang's coordinates deviated from the burger restaurant by a large distance, and that place was obviously not the usual way home.

To be prepared, Yao Jing still decided to send a message to Lu Jinchang to ask.

[Yao Jing]: Are you off work?

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: Yes

[Yao Jing]: Then why don't you go home, what are you doing wandering around?

Yao Jing didn't realize it when he sent the message. At this time, he was acting like a parent disciplining his children.

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: I will help the store manager to deliver some things, and I will go back immediately after delivery

[Yao Jing]: Then hurry up

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: Good

[Yao Jing]: Pay attention to your own safety

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: Good

After thinking about it, Yao Jing added another sentence: Don't talk to strangers casually, if someone asks you for WeChat, remember not to give it.

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: I know, I know!

Yao Jing realized later, and looked back after sending the message, only to realize that he seemed a little too wordy.

He is quite a bold old man, when did he become such a mother-in-law?

It seems that I have picked up a lot of bad habits during this period, not only my mother-in-law, but also love to rape others.

Just thinking about it, the class became lively again, and Yao Jing subconsciously clicked in again.

Classmate A posted a photo in the group.

[Student A]: The first time I received a birthday gift from my child in my life, the heart of the old father almost melted

Yao Jing zoomed in on the photo to see that it was a crayon drawing drawn by a child. The drawing technique was relatively clumsy, but the imagination was quite rich, with the innocence and romance unique to children.

[Student B]: Look at you, I just saw you posted on Moments, and now I will come to the group to share with everyone, tsk tsk...

[Classmate C]: I understand XX's mood very well. After all, only those who have been parents can understand this kind of thing.

[Classmate D]: +1, it reminds me of the first time my daughter gave me a handmade model. I specially bought an acrylic dust cover to cover it.

[Classmate E]: My son made me a meal on my birthday, which moved me to tears

When we were studying in the past, everyone liked to show off the new schoolbags and new shoes. Now that we are married and have a family, we start to show off each other's children.

Probably just like what classmate C said, Yao Jing, who has never been a parent, really finds it difficult to experience the fun of this aspect.

But that doesn't stop him from making up his own mind.

Let's just treat Xiao Jiangzhi as his half son, if Xiao Jiangzhi celebrates him on his birthday and gives him gifts...

No, what do you think, what's wrong, what kind of bullshit substitution is this? !

roll roll roll!

He drove away all the messy thoughts in his head, then stuffed the phone into the drawer, and went back to his seat to continue working.

The saying that plans can't keep up with changes seems to always make sense.

Because of a sudden change in the schedule of a certain engineering project of the company, it was brought forward, causing all of Yao Jing's schedule to be disrupted.

In order to complete all the audits before the deadline, Yao Jing has been working overtime for a week until late at night.

The birthday party originally planned with my brothers had to be cancelled.

It doesn't matter to Yao Jing, he is no longer the little kid who was too obsessed with birthdays every year.

For him, this kind of thing is far less important than his career, so he can do whatever he wants.

The day of my birthday is the same as usual, and I still have to work overtime.

Although there was no meal or party, Yao Jing still received congratulatory messages from Yao Haijun and a group of brothers. Even Yao Chuxi, who had returned to school, specially sent him a simple happy birthday.

After drawing motivation from the blessings of relatives and friends, I continued to devote myself to work.

Looking up again, it was past eleven o'clock at night.

Yao Jing stood up from his seat and stretched, taking a short rest.

The project plan will end tomorrow at the latest, and he still has one-fifth of the progress to catch up, and the task is still heavy.

The clock was getting late, but he was not the only one who stayed to work overtime. Outside the office, other team members of the company were also busy in their respective positions.

In order to work, everyone has to sacrifice their rest time, which is not easy for each of them.

Yao Jing paid for it out of his own pocket, and ordered a bunch of sumptuous suppers for everyone on the food delivery app as a reward.

As soon as the order was confirmed and the payment was completed, Lu Jinchang's message was sent.

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: Are you still in the company?

[Yao Jing]: Yes.

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: When are you coming back?

[Yao Jing]: Still working overtime, not so fast.

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: Oh oh.

Lu Jin usually seldom asks Yao Jing about his work, but today he suddenly asks why.

But Yao Jing didn't think too much about it, he still had a lot of work to do right now.

Lu Jin often fell silent after sending him a message.

About 10 minutes later, the phone on the table lit up again.

Yao Jing thought that the takeaway he ordered had arrived, and was about to call to let the security guard downstairs let him go, but he picked up his phone and took a look, only to find that it was a WeChat message from Lu Jinchang.

The kid was still awake, and even sent him a photo.

The photo was taken outdoors, and the surrounding light was a little dim. Yao Jing looked carefully for a long time before he realized that the location of the photo was in the small park next to his company.

In order to confirm a certain conjecture in his mind, Yao Jing checked Lu Jinchang's location. This kid is really downstairs in the company at the moment.

[Yao Jing]: You can't stay at home to sleep well in the middle of the night, what are you doing out there?

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: Guess what?

[Yao Jing]: Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly if you have something to say, I hate others making me guess

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: Do you have time to come down?You will know when you come down

【Yao Jing】:......

[Xiao Jiangzhi]: I'll be waiting for you in the park, come down quickly!

Lu Jin often sat at the same place where he had lunch with Yao Jing last time. With the help of the streetlight above his head, he took the birthday cake out of the box and inserted the candles one by one.

It stands to reason that you can put as many candles as you are on your birthday. Since Yao Jing's age has seriously exceeded the number of existing candles, Lu Jinchang thought hard for a while, and finally decided to put five on the left side of the cake and one on the right. to represent 51.

When Yao Jing came down to the park, Lu Jinchang was lighting candles.

From Yao Jing's point of view, he could only catch sight of a figure not far away.

"Lu Jinchang!" Yao Jing walked over with strides, he had prepared a lot of words to reprimand this kid.

As a result, when Lu Jinchang turned around, he suddenly stopped.

"Happy birthday!" Lu Jinchang held up a birthday cake with candles and looked up at him with a sincere smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

In my impression, he never told Lu Jinchang his birthday, so naturally, the scene in front of him was real and unexpected.

Yao Jing looked down at the birthday cake in Lu Jinchang's hand.

The theme of the cake is "Dragon Ball", on which there is a little Wukong riding a somersault cloud, holding a Ruyi stick and four-star dragon balls.

Xiao Wukong has a high degree of restoration, and his face and expression are the same as his cartoon image, which shows that the cake master is quite skilled.

Lu Jin saw that Yao Jing kept staring at the cake, but kept silent, thinking that Yao Jing was not very satisfied with the cake, so he had to explain to him: "Didn't you say you like watching "Dragon Ball" before? So I chose This theme, but the store can only designate this one.”

"Lu Jinchang," Yao Jing asked, "That boy Yao Chuxi told you that my birthday is today?"

"No."

"Then how do you know it's my birthday?"

"Because I'm smart, I just know." He tilted his head and smiled mysteriously, feeling very proud of his little secret.

Then he said: "I waited at home all night. I planned to give you a surprise when you came back, but you never came back, so I had no choice but to send the cake over."

"It's so late, the bus is off duty, how did you come here?"

"Take a taxi, you're such an old man, don't you know how to take a taxi by yourself?"

Yao Jing couldn't help laughing, gentlemen, he wasn't overly moved, but he was really happy in his heart.

Xiao Jiangzhi's sincerity was almost visible to the naked eye. Yao Jing was about to say thank you in return when his eyes suddenly caught a line of words on the side of the cake: Happy 51st birthday to Little Fairy!

After breaking the power for a second, he really couldn't bear it anymore.

Just give him an indecent nickname like "Little Fairy", what the hell is going on at 51 years old?

You can't convict Xiao Jiangzhi so quickly, maybe the clerk made a mistake.

"Lu Jinchang," Yao Jing asked, "You reported this age to the clerk?"

"Yes."

"51 years old?"

Lu Jinchang didn't understand why Yao Jing asked such a question, and he said, "Isn't this your age?"

"How nearsighted are your eyes? Where did you come to the conclusion that I am 51 this year?!"

"But I haven't thought about this question." Lu Jinchang was a little at a loss, "Then how old are you?"

Yao Jing was too depressed to answer.

Lu Jin often glanced at his watch, and there were only a few minutes left before twelve o'clock, so he hurriedly urged: "It's almost twelve o'clock, hurry up and make a wish and blow out the candles before your birthday is over!"

Under his urging, Yao Jing had no choice but to give up the entanglement, and was about to come over to blow out the candle, but the boy stopped him again and reminded: "First make a wish before blowing it out!"

Nothing to do, so I had no choice but to listen to him, closed my eyes helplessly, and pretended to be silent for a while.

After the birthday ceremony of blowing out the candles, Lu Jinchang put down the cake, took out a small gift wrapped in gift paper from his schoolbag, and put it in Yao Jing's hands: "This is your birthday present."

The gift was very small and light, not as big as his slap, but when Yao Jing accepted the gift, the corners of Yao Jing's lips could not help but draw an obvious arc.

In front of Lu Jinchang, he opened the gift, and took out a Q-version Vegeta keychain in the super blue form of a Saiyan from the packaging bag.

Yao Jing looked at the keychain for a while, and asked, "Why did you think of giving me Vegeta?"

"Don't you like Vegeta?" Lu Jinchang thought he had made a mistake.

But he clearly remembered that in the photo of Yao Jing's birthday, among the pile of presents on the table, there were indeed several Vegeta figures.

"No, I really like it." Yao Jing smiled and put the keychain into his pocket.

"It's good if you like it. When I save enough money, I'll give you a big one for your birthday next year!" Lu Jinchang sat on a chair, happily took out disposable plates and knives and forks, and joined Yao Jing eat cake.

"Okay, don't forget what you said yourself."

"By the way, will you continue to work overtime later?"

"Ah."

"Then you can eat a little more sugar and work hard!"

After Lu Jinchang finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, rummaged through his schoolbag for a while, and handed a plastic bag to Yao Jing: "By the way, I have this for you too~"

I opened the bag and saw that there were two red eggs inside.

"I watched TV and said that you have to eat red eggs on your birthday. It is prosperous and healthy."

Yao Jing smiled, reached out and took out an egg, the shell hadn't been peeled off, and his hands were already stained red.

"Lu Jinchang, what kind of red egg are you? The color has faded so badly..."

Lu Jinchang didn't expect that he would be self-defeating, and said truthfully in a clumsy tone: "I don't know how to dye red eggs, so the color was painted on with colored pens when I first went out."
