Spring River Chasing the Moon

At the end of September, Nan Qiuyue’s birthday arrived.

The Nan family booked the banquet hall of the newest hotel in Nancheng early in the morning to celebrate Nan Qiuyue's birthday.

Nanzhou Yue felt that this was his granddaughter's first birthday as a middle school student and it should be celebrated with some grandeur.

Because this is also a new stage in life, I invited many relatives and friends, and I also wanted to get together with them in the name of Nan Qiuyue’s birthday.

Because it was Sunday, everyone had time to come. At 4:30 in the afternoon, guests arrived at the hotel one after another and presented birthday gifts to Nan Qiuyue.

"Qiuyue, why don't you look excited about your birthday?"

Tang Li was invited by Nan Qiuyue to attend the birthday party. He had an inexplicable feeling that although Nan Qiuyue was also smiling in the crowd, her smile seemed to be superficial, as if it was fake.

When Nan Qiuyue heard Tang Li ask this, she was stunned for a moment, but she immediately changed her state.

"No, I just kept smiling until my face became stiff."

As she spoke, Nan Qiuyue rubbed her face with her hands.

She couldn't tell Tang Li that she just suddenly thought that this year on her birthday, she wouldn't be able to hear Xu Zhi say "Happy Birthday" to her.

"This kind of occasion is like this. On my birthday before, many uncles and aunts from the hospital came. I wore a skirt that day and greeted and smiled at everyone. I was so tired."

Tang Li looked at Nan Qiuyue's outfit today. She was wearing a pure white princess dress and small leather shoes of the same color. Her hair was tied up in a bun. The strands of hair in the front seemed to have been curled and were hanging down in scattered places, making Nan Qiuyue's face look smaller.

It was the first time that Tang Li saw people deal with loose hair in this way. In the past, when they did their hair up, they always liked to comb all the hair meticulously, tying up even the smallest loose hair. The hair had to be smooth and look especially sleek, and not a single hair could fall on the forehead.

Although she looks energetic, now after seeing Nan Qiuyue's hairstyle, I feel that this one is cuter and more natural.

"Qiyue, I'm here."

Luo Luo and his grandmother were delayed on the road for a while because of a traffic jam.

"Qiuyue, happy birthday."

Luo Luo presented the gifts that she and her grandmother had prepared.

"Thank you."

"Thank you grandma."

Nan Qiuyue took them with both hands and put all the gifts together.

Then he said to Grandma Luo Luo, "Grandma, my grandfather and his family are drinking tea in the next room. I'll take you over and chat with them."

After all, everyone here is a relative of the Nan family. To be honest, there are some that even Nan Qiuyue is not very familiar with. She was afraid that Grandma Luo Luo would feel uncomfortable, so she took her to find Li Muzhi and the others.

"Qiuyue, where are my brothers and sisters?"

Luo Luo looked around but didn't see any trace of Yan Wei and the others.

"Yan Wei went out to study with the teacher and can't make it."

"Brother Zhou Xing and Chen Ke are also busy. Brother Zhou Xing has a lot of professional courses, and Chen Ke is participating in a competition."

"Sister Sibei and Third Brother will be here soon."

Nan Qiuyue looked at the time and it was almost time.

"Qiyue~"

Nan Sibei walked in carrying a big bag of things, and without caring whether Nan Qiuyue was ready or not, he directly put the bag into Nan Qiuyue's arms.

"Here, this is a gift for you."

These are all treasures that Nan Sibei found with great difficulty, and several of them were made by her own hands.

Nan Qiuyue usually likes to look at the little gadgets in her collection. She started preparing a few months ago, looking for more and more fun ones everywhere, just for Nan Qiuyue’s birthday.

"Thank you sister."

Nan Qiuyue held the bag and put it aside. She really liked it, but she was not as dexterous as Nan Sibei. Many mechanical things could not be put back after she took them apart.

"This is my share."

Nan Zhili followed Nan Sibei and handed over a small box.

"You can try opening it now."

Nan Zhili looked at Nan Qiuyue and saw that she was not wearing any accessories today. He thought that the gift he gave her should match the clothes she was wearing today.

Nan Qiuyue carefully opened the box and found a pair of pearl earrings.

Under each small sterling silver ring hangs a round and plump pearl, each one appears to be over 10mm in size and is translucent with white light.

"Thank you, Third Brother. It matches my outfit today."

Nan Qiuyue likes it very much. The style is simple and not exaggerated, which suits her very well.

After saying that, she picked up the earrings and put them on in front of the reflective mirror beside her.

The white pearly light was faintly visible beside her beautiful face, making it particularly eye-catching.

"very nice."

Nan Sibei and Nan Zhili spoke at the same time.

With the final arrival of Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying, the birthday party began.

Nan Qiuyue followed Chen Lili and stayed beside the two elders.

Seeing their granddaughter growing up to be well-behaved, the Yue couple in Nanzhou were extremely proud.

Who would have thought that the five-year-old child has now become a middle school student and a grown-up girl.

Nan Qiuyue didn’t know what her grandfather and the others were feeling. She only knew that everyone came today for her birthday, so she had to perform well and not let others say that their Nan family had not taught her well.

The birthday party ended successfully, and the guests went home in groups of three or four. Only my family members were left sitting in the banquet hall, chatting about family matters.

Nan Qiuyue suggested taking some commemorative photos. Because Nan Youzhao's troops had a mission this time and could not make it over, Nan Qiuyue thought of taking some photos to show her father later.

The whole family listened to her, and with a few clicks of the camera, the birthday party ended successfully.

When Nan Qiuyue returned home to her room, she found that all the gifts she had received that day had been neatly placed in the room by her aunt, waiting for her to open them personally.

Today, except for Nan Zhili's gift, which was opened on the spot, I haven't seen anyone else's gifts yet.

Before taking a shower, Nan Qiuyue sat in the corner of the room and began to open the gifts one by one.

Most of them were jewelry and bags that girls would like, and there was also a Chinese painting that she liked... Nan Qiuyue couldn't remember which relatives or friends these gifts were for...

It was given to me by a few people in my family, so I still have some impression of it.

Because the packaging is the same every year, she still remembers it.

After dismantling for a while, Nan Qiuyue felt a little tired. She planned to dismantle another one and put it aside for tomorrow.

So Nan Qiuyue picked out the largest box and opened it.

I just didn't expect that the last gift, inside the exquisite packaging, was actually a model of my grandfather's house. Someone actually restored it one to one, even the structure and decoration inside were exactly the same.

In the restaurant inside, there were a few little people sitting there, also celebrating their birthday and eating cake. There was four big words "Happy Birthday" written on the cake.

Nan Qiuyue looked at the little girl who was making a wish with her eyes closed. Isn't that herself?

Nan Qiuyue was very surprised. She loved this model so much and it was so exquisite.

This is a gift that can only be given by someone who knows her very well and also knows Chen Ze's family very well.

Who is it? Nan Qiuyue wondered.

“Today, has anyone come with such a big box?”

Nan Qiuyue tried hard to recall. Most of the gifts today were handed to her first and then put aside by her. She had never touched this box. Who put it in and when?
