Xia Wanniang exchanged a pearl hairpin for a very beautiful birthday cake, which also came with candles and a small hat for the birthday boy.

When she came out carrying a cardboard box, almost everyone in the village was there.

Xiao Zilin saw her coming out with a box and ran to her side: "Mom, what is this? Is it also a firework?"

Xia Wanniang put the things on a table, looked at his sweaty face, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from his face: "No, today is Shousui's birthday, remember?"

Xiao Zilin nodded: "Remember, my brother and I said we would give him a gift tomorrow."

Xia Wanniang looked at him and smiled: "Go and call everyone over, we will celebrate his birthday."

Xiao Zilin quickly ran over to call his friends.

Xia Wanniang also asked Xiao Chiye to call the village chief and the family members who were staying up to celebrate the New Year.

Everyone was attracted by the commotion here and gathered around.

Shousui ran over. His new clothes were a little dirty, but that didn't affect his good mood at all.

His mother Liu Wei, father Liu Quan, and his grandparents and the whole family came together to stay up all night.

Liu Quan looked at them in confusion: "Is there something wrong?"

Xia Wanniang looked at Shousui with a smile: "Today is Shousui's birthday, so I prepared a cake as a gift from our family to Shousui."

Shousui was confused: "What is a cake?"

Xia Wanniang opened the paper box on the table, and a beautiful birthday cake appeared in front of him.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the birthday cake in front of them, and a sweet aroma wafted from it.

The children's attention was all drawn to the cake.

Xia Wanniang took out the birthday boy's hat and put it on Shousui's head: "Shousui, how old are you this year?"

Shousui reached out and gently touched the small hat on his head, fearing that he would break it if he used too much force: "I am four years old, and five years old in age."

Xia Wanniang put in four small candles, lit the top candle, and then looked at the children around her: "I will now teach you to sing the birthday song, will you follow me and learn it?"

"Good!" The group of children were very happy.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The lyrics are very simple and gradually both children and adults have learned them, as if they have been brainwashed.

Xia Wanniang waited until the song ended and looked at Shousui, who was laughing so hard that only his teeth were left: "Shousui, make a wish, don't tell anyone, and then blow out the four candles here in one breath."

The Wei family found it very novel. In the past, they had only celebrated their children’s birthdays with a bowl of longevity noodles, but this was the first time they had anything like this.

This made her feel Xia Wanniang's sincerity, and even her liking for her increased a lot.

He closed his eyes and made a wish, then opened his eyes and blew out the four candles in front of him in one breath.

Xia Wanniang took off the candles on the cake, took out the prepared knife and plate, and helped him cut the cake into small pieces.

She handed the first piece to Shousui: "Who are you going to give the first piece to?"

Shousui took the cake and handed it to his grandfather without hesitation.

Grandpa was smiling with his eyes narrowed into slits, and he nodded happily.

He distributed the rest to everyone according to their age. There were a lot of people today, so each person could only get one or two bites, but it was a very rare experience for them.

This was the first time they had ever tasted such a soft, milky pastry.

Not only the children were still wanting more, even the adults were reminiscing about it.

Xu Li looked at the empty plate and moved closer to Xia Wanniang: "How did you make this? Why didn't I see you make it today?"

Xia Wanniang's heart skipped a beat, and she had forgotten that there was a stranger in the house.

Xiao Chiye glanced at him and said, "I made it yesterday and put it away as soon as it was done."

"No wonder, I was wondering why I didn't see this thing today." Xu Li said and looked at Xia Wanniang again: "Can you make one for me tomorrow?"

Xia Wanniang refused without a second thought: "No."

Xu Li looked puzzled: "Why?"

Xia Wanniang said seriously: "It's hard to find the materials. It's too laborious."
