I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 148 Birthday
After Xu Congyi sent Shen Xiao back to his room and confirmed that he was emotionally stable, she returned to her own residence. It was late at night, and she simply washed up and lay down on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Shen Xiao's complicated expression was like a heavy scroll, unfolding repeatedly in her mind. She couldn't help but recall the sudden news when she just entered college - grandma was sick. At that moment, she felt that the whole world collapsed, shrouded by endless darkness and despair.
She remembered that she was just like Shen Xiao at that time, feeling like she was sucked into a huge whirlpool, surrounded by cold sea water. No matter how she struggled, she seemed to find no way to escape. Whenever she was about to touch that faint light, the cruel reality would throw her into the abyss again like a huge wave.
Missing her grandma, Xu Congyi's eyes gradually became moist, tears slid down her cheeks, silently soaking the pillow. She tried to suppress the grief in her heart, but found that she couldn't control it at all. After crying for a while, she finally felt tired and fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.
In her dream, she returned to the moment when she learned that her grandmother was ill. But this time, the scene in the dream was subtly different. She dreamed that she learned that her grandmother was actually misdiagnosed and did not suffer from the terrible disease. In the dream, she was ecstatic and hugged her grandmother tightly, as if she wanted to keep this joy and happiness forever.
This dream was so real that Xu Congyi couldn't help but smile in her dream. She seemed to really feel her grandmother's warm embrace and kind smile. This dream was like a warm harbor, which made her find a little comfort in the darkness.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning. The sun shone through the window onto her bed, warm and bright. She felt as if she hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time. She stretched and sat up. She decided not to stay in bed today. It had been a long time since she had breakfast with her family.
When she finished washing up and returned to her bedroom, just as she was about to go out, she heard someone knocking on her door.
"Yiyi, are you in the room?"
Hearing her grandmother's voice, Xu Congyi felt a warm current in her heart. She quickly opened the door.
"Grandma, why are you here?" Xu Congyi stepped forward.
When Xu's mother saw her precious granddaughter opening the door to greet her, the smile on her face was as bright as a blooming flower. "Grandma's darling! Today is your birthday!"
Xu Congyi suddenly realized that today was her birthday. In modern times, her birthday was the day her grandmother picked her up. Since her grandmother passed away, she has never celebrated her birthday again.
But now, when Xu Congyi looked at Xu's mother's smiling face and kind eyes, her heart was filled with warmth and emotion.
"Grandma, how come you remembered that it's my birthday today?" Xu Congyi asked knowingly.
Mother Xu scratched Xu Congyi's nose with her index finger, her eyes full of doting. "Silly child, how could grandma forget your birthday? You are the apple of my eye."
"Oh," Xu Congyi leaned on his grandmother's shoulder coquettishly, enjoying this rare warm moment.
"Come to the kitchen for breakfast. Your mother got up early today and made some longevity noodles for you." Mother Xu took Xu Congyi's little hand and walked towards the kitchen.
"Dahua, Yiyi is awake, cook some noodles for her!" Mother Xu shouted towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Li Dahua was busy. When she heard Xu's mother's call, she immediately responded, "Okay!" Then she quickly put the noodles into the pot. Because she was afraid that Xu Congyi was still sleeping and hadn't gotten up yet, the noodles were not cooked yet, and she had to wait for Xu Congyi to get up so that the noodles would not clump together.
The aroma of noodles filled the small kitchen, and the fire on the stove was jumping, adding a bit of warmth to the morning. Soon the noodles were cooked and served in a beautiful porcelain bowl, sprinkled with emerald green onions, exuding an alluring aroma. Next to it was a plate of red eggs, each of which was plump and round, emitting a faint luster under the sunlight.
According to ancient customs, Xu's mother and Li Dahua first rolled an egg for Xu Congyi. They gently rolled the egg from Xu Congyi's waist, along her body contour to her back, and then back to her waist, forming a complete cycle. During this process, they chanted:
"Bad luck rolls away, good luck rolls in, villains roll away, noble people roll in, diseases roll away, health rolls in." Every word is filled with good wishes and deep love for Xu Congyi.
After rolling the egg, Xu Congyi picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, blew away the heat, and then put it into her mouth. The noodles were smooth and chewy, and the soup was rich and delicious. Every bite made her feel extremely satisfied and happy. Xu's mother and Li Dahua sat aside, watching Xu Congyi eat with relish, and their faces showed satisfied smiles.
After Xu Congyi finished his noodles, Old Man Xu and Hunter Xu also came back. It turned out that the father and son went to the market early to buy fresh meat and vegetables in order to make a delicious meal for Xu Congyi tonight. Although they knew that Xu Congyi had a magical treasure that gave him everything he wanted, they did not want to rely on that treasure.
"Grandpa, Dad! You're back!" As soon as Xu Cong saw them, he immediately went up to them with a happy smile on his face.
"Yi Yi, happy birthday!" The first thing the father and son said when they saw Xu Congyi was to express their blessings.
"Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Dad!" Xu Congyi responded sweetly, with happiness shining in his eyes.
