birthday present

Xu Yi happily drank Laba porridge.

Laba porridge, also known as eight-treasure porridge, is a kind of porridge he likes very much. Today, his mother got up early and boiled a pot for him. It is soft, glutinous and sweet, and it tastes very warm.

Moreover, his mother took half a day off to accompany him, making the boy feel warm and sweet like the bowl of porridge he was eating.

Feeling something at this moment, Xu Yi turned his head to look over, and saw the little white cat squatting on the low stool, with a pair of beautiful light blue eyes, looking at him without blinking.

"Xuetuan, why don't you eat it?"

The teenager reached out and rubbed the top of the kitten's head, and said, "This is beef, it's very delicious."

Of course, the main thing is expensive.

Compared with cheap pork and chicken, beef is considered to be the more expensive kind of meat on the table of ordinary people.

In Xu's house, on special days, they would eat it once in a while. Most of the food during Chinese New Year is chicken, duck and fish.

Feeling his touch, Lin Xingmo finally lowered his head and stuck out his tongue to lick the delicious sliced ​​beef in the bowl.

Although he really wanted to know the reason why Xu Yi's legs were disabled, but obviously, as a cat, he couldn't ask.

What's more, it was impossible for Xu Yi in his youth to know what happened to him in the future, so he could only ask Xu Yi after he went back.

but……

Mama Du cooked Laba porridge, that is to say, today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month?Is Xu Yi's birthday on this day?

Lin Xingmo couldn't help thinking, in reality, Xu Yi's birthday is almost coming up.

Lin Xingmo didn't pay much attention to his birthday, and since he could remember, no one has paid much attention to his birthday.

His memory started from elementary school.

At that time, his parents were very busy. They had just gained a foothold in Lishi, which is next to Xinghai City. They were busy with business every day, so they naturally neglected his youngest son.

Looking back now, it may be because he didn't grow up with them when he was a child, so the relationship is relatively weak.

Of course, it may also be that he himself is not likable.

After all, he can't feel emotions, and he is very indifferent to everyone. He is not as cheerful and lively as his brother. He is a withdrawn and introverted child in the adults, but in the eyes of his peers, he is a little monster——

Because his eye color is different from others.

He has long been used to playing a transparent person at home, living in his own small world, and even if he encounters troubles in school, he is used to solving them by himself.

Of course, apart from ignoring and not being very close, the family actually treated him well, and gave him everything that should be given——

He wanted to learn to draw, but his parents didn't object. He came to study in Xinghai City, and they bought him a house in Yunshan Xiaozhu near the school...

Lin Xingmo ate up the beef, raised his paw and began to lick his fur, and withdrew his thoughts of Piaoyuan.

He hasn't licked his hair for a few days, and he actually feels a little missing.

After washing his face and wiping the hair around his mouth clean, he raised his head again and looked at the young man who was drinking Laba porridge with his head down. From the smile on his eyebrows, he could clearly feel his joy.

Lin Xingmo couldn't help thinking, maybe after going back, he could celebrate Xu Yi's birthday...

Little Xu Yi didn't know what his kitten was thinking. Facing his mother's questioning again, he said seriously: "Being able to raise snow balls is the best gift I have received this year."

After a pause, he said, "Mom, why don't you make a dress for Xuetuan? It's been running out to play recently, and every time it comes back, it's dirty..."

What?wear clothes?

The little kitten, who was originally lazy, suddenly stood up. It stared at little Xu Yi with wide blue eyes, and then looked at Mama Du who was opposite the boy.

Seeing that the only mistress of the family nodded, it jumped off the low stool in horror.

wear clothes?No way!

However, the kitty's resistance was in vain.

As soon as it jumped off the low stool, Du Hanrong stretched out his long hand and picked it up from the ground.

"It's a little dirty."

She looked at the kitten in her arms, then nodded and said, "Make it a little vest to wrap it in. It just happens to be the Chinese New Year, and Xiaoxuetuan needs to wear new clothes."

"Meow."

The little white cat yelled in protest, but it didn't pay attention.

Du Hanrong hugged it, stroking it one by one, obviously in a good mood, she smiled and said: "Xiaoxuetuan will go out with us later."

"Can Xuetuan go too?" Xu Yi was a little surprised.

Originally, Du Hanrong just had a temporary idea, but seeing her son so happy, she felt that her idea was really good.

"Of course, Xuetuan is now a part of our family."

"Well! Mom, you are right!"

The little cat who was hugged by Du's mother and rubbed his face was very confused.

Listening to their conversation, Lin Xingmo tilted his head in bewilderment.

What are they going to do next?

Why did Xu Yi look so happy?

After eating, Du Hanrong cleaned up the dishes and went back to the room.

She took out a brightly colored printed dress from the closet, put on a thick coat over it, and let down her usually rolled up hair and combed it into a beautiful braid.

Du Hanrong is also in her early 30s, with beautiful and exquisite features. She usually wears very simple clothes because she goes to work in the factory. Today, she just dresses up a little, and she is so beautiful.

She didn't put on makeup or powder, but she already looked good without makeup. She simply put on some lip balm and walked out of the bedroom with her bag.

When she came out of the bedroom, even Lin Xingmo couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

And Xu Yi also changed into new clothes, and took out his schoolbag, ready to stuff the kitten into it.

At this time, Du Hanrong took out a new schoolbag with a smile, and said, "In the future, this schoolbag can be used to hold books, and the old one will be used as Xuetuan's exclusive cat bag."

"Mom, this schoolbag..."

Xu Yi frowned, he was not as happy as other children when he received the gift.

"Your schoolbag is too old and has holes." Du Hanrong pointed to the small hole on his old schoolbag.

"This new one is beautiful and sturdy, and it also has Monkey King printed on it. Isn't it beautiful? Mom bought it when she saw a discount, and it didn't cost much."

After all, he was only ten years old, but Xu Yi finally accepted the new schoolbag. Seeing that he couldn't put it down, he took the schoolbag back to his room and put it away solemnly, so he knew that he actually liked it very much.

Then, he put the kitten into an old schoolbag and went out together with it on his back.

Lin Xingmo stayed in the schoolbag, the boy didn't zip it up tightly, so he could get out through the gap of the zipper and look out.

Du Hanrong rode her bicycle, and Xu Yi sat on the back frame, and she was rarely carried out of the door together.

Lin Xingmo stuck his head out and looked out.

The weather today is sunny and the temperature is not too low. The wind is a bit cold, but it is still acceptable. It is indeed a good weather to go out.

This road was not the one that Xu Yi took to collect cans.

There are tall street trees planted on both sides of the road, which are evergreen all year round and still look lush in winter in the south.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, and the light and shadow are constantly changing as the bicycle travels.

A peaceful and quiet day, ordinary but not ordinary.

Soon, Du Hanrong drove her son to the destination.

Lin Xingmo poked his head around and found that this was actually a photo studio. Mother Du brought her son to take pictures. No wonder they both dressed up before going out.

Today happened to be Sunday, and the business in the photo studio was good, so Du Hanrong had to wait in line outside with her son.

The proprietress made tea to entertain them, and talked with them about the quantity and price of the photos.

In this era when mobile phones are not yet popular, the prices of photo studios are still quite high, but Du Hanrong is not stingy in this regard.

In fact, her son usually earns pocket money by himself and buys stationery and exercise books by himself, which has saved her a lot of expenses. Today is her son's birthday, and she does not want to wrong him.

Moreover, she also hopes to record such a beautiful day with photos.

"Cats can also be photographed together?" Du Hanrong asked.

"of course can."

The proprietress glanced at the schoolbag in the boy's arms, and the snow-white kitten poked its head out from the open zipper of the schoolbag, attracting her attention as soon as it came in.

"This kitten is so cute, it looks spiritual."

Hearing the praise from the proprietress to the cat, Xu Yi smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to scratch the kitten's chin.

Feeling a little comfortable being scratched by him, Lin Xingmo couldn't help following the cat's instinct, narrowing his eyes and raising his chin to enjoy the service of the boy.

But at this moment, he heard the proprietress of the photo studio say: "Is it just you and the child to take pictures later? Since it's a commemorative photo for the child's birthday, won't your husband be together?"

As soon as the proprietress finished speaking, Lin Xingmo felt the boy's fingers freeze.

He opened his eyes, and saw that the smile on the boy's face had faded, and Du Hanrong's smile was a little more unnatural.

"Well, he's not coming, it's just me and my son." She said vaguely.

Lin Xingmo couldn't help but look at her, and then at the boy.

That's right, I haven't seen Xu Yi's father. Did he go to work in other places like his parents, or...he passed away?

Doubts arose in his heart, but Du Hanrong had already brought up the topic, and continued to discuss with the proprietress how to shoot later with great interest.

And Xu Yi...

He didn't speak, just squeezed the zipper of the schoolbag tightly with his fingers.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally the turn of Du Hanrong and Xu Yi.

The previous one took a picture of a family of three, and the parents brought their children to take pictures.

As a result, the little girl came out of the room where the photo was taken, and when she saw the kitten in Xu Yi's schoolbag, she immediately couldn't walk.

"Dad, I also want to take pictures with cute kittens!"

Du Hanrong, who was waiting for them to come out, could not help but freeze in place.

After the two parents heard their daughter's request, they looked at each other in dismay, and finally, under the little girl's softness and stubbornness, they had no choice but to discuss with Du Hanrong with a shy face, whether they could lend them the cat.

Du Hanrong was a little confused. In fact, she was not very good at communicating with strangers. Just as she was about to say no, she heard her son say, "Yes, five yuan for one shot."

Five dollars a time?

Isn't my son's bid too harsh!

Du Hanrong's salary is only a dozen yuan a day. She thinks her son's asking price is too high, even higher than the group photos of some scenic spots.

The parents obviously thought the same way, "My kid, this is too expensive for you. For five yuan, you have to take at least five shots, right?"

Du Hanrong:?

Xu Yi looked at the clothes of the family of three in front of him, thought for a while, and stretched out two fingers, "Twice."

The two parents obviously felt pitted.

However, Lin Xingmo had already cultivated a good rapport with little Xu Yi. At this moment, with his paws on the schoolbag, he stared at the little girl eagerly with his beautiful blue eyes.

"Meow--"

In the end, he used the cuteness technique he learned from the cow cat boss, and immediately captured the little girl's heart.

"Dad, Dad, I want to take a photo with the kitty! It's so cute! You said you'd listen to me today, don't be foolish!"

The little girl performed soft and hard foam attack again.

The parents were completely defeated and could only make the last desperate struggle, "Three times! At least three times for five yuan!"

Xu Yi reluctantly said, "Okay, then the deal will be made."

In the end, the two of them entered the room where the photo was taken together. The little girl stood in front of the camera wearing a beautiful dress and a kitten, and made various poses under the photographer's guidance.

The little cat is very spiritual and cooperates well with the little girl, which made the two parents very satisfied after seeing it.

In the end, when the family of three left, Du Hanrong looked at the 15 yuan in his hand and was dumbfounded.
