Chapter 20 Lin Linbei, happy birthday

A few days before the arrival of the summer solstice, Chen Siyi racked his brains every day to plan how to celebrate Lin Linbei's 21st birthday.In Chen Siyi's hometown, every birthday is celebrated with great fanfare. One is the beginning of everything. Everyone's first birthday in the world is his first birthday. On that day, his parents will put Under the watchful eyes of relatives and friends, let the children who have not yet left to grab their favorite objects. No matter what they catch, it will be a joy. hope.

Although Chen Siyi has no impression of Lin Linbei's birthday when he was one year old, he has always remembered Lin Linbei's eleventh birthday very deeply. Even though it has been ten years, he can still clearly remember what he said to Lin Linbei that day Every word, every detail.

When Lin Linbei was 11 years old, the conditions at home were quite good. When his classmates were still eating lollipops, he could put a few Ferreroes in his little clothes every day, although Chen Siyi was the one who bought them all. As for why Chen Siyi didn't become a big fat man after eating, it was all due to Chen Siyi's unbelievable teeth.

Ever since Chen Siyi got a few decayed teeth, Zhou Yi forbade Chen Siyi from eating sweets, which was about to kill little Chen Siyi.So he has changed from a rich man who can eat chocolate every day to a little beggar who can only eat a few bites of cakes on his birthday. birthday.

So one month before Lin Linbei's birthday, Chen Siyi was counting down the countdown, drawing a line on the calendar every day.There is a reason for him to look forward to this. He thinks that Lin Linbei often eats chocolates, and Lin Linbei's chocolates are much more delicious than those given by Xiaomei at the same table. Chen Siyi's birthday cake must also be better than the ones he has eaten before. All are delicious.

In order to eat Lin Linbei's birthday cake justifiably, Chen Siyi took out 2 yuan from her little yellow pig piggy bank, bought a greeting card from the school canteen, and wrote "give me Best friend Lin Linbei: Happy birthday to you, let's grow up together!".

Adults say that red is happy, Chen Siyi looked at the 24-color pencil case in front of her hesitantly, and finally felt that red was more joyful, so she wrote down her blessings to Lin Linbei in red, and drew a picture next to the words. A crooked beware.

Lin Linbei's 11th birthday was on a Monday. After school together, they went to Lin Linbei's home to do their homework as usual. Lin Linbei's parents hired a tutor for Lin Linbei. They can ask questions at any time, and the teacher will check their homework and accompany them to do their homework.Usually, after finishing their homework, Chen Siyi will go home after they play together. Most of the time, Lin Linbei will go home with Chen Siyi for dinner, and sometimes he will wait for the nanny at home to cook for him.

On this day, when Chen Siyi went to Lin Linbei's house, he felt very strange, because Lin Linbei's parents were not at home. He thought that when he celebrated his birthday, although it was not a big deal, his mother would still make a big deal for him. Grandpa, grandparents and grandparents will come to celebrate his birthday with his favorite dishes on the big table. After the meal, the family will surround little Chen Siyi to sing happy birthday to him and let him blow out candles and make wishes.

Chen Siyi, who has not yet celebrated her 11th birthday, can’t figure out why Lin Linbei’s parents are not at home, why everything is not the same as usual, no, this is not the birthday Chen Siyi imagined, after finishing her homework, the teacher left After that, Chen Siyi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Lin Linbei looked strangely at Chen Siyi flipping through her schoolbag, and finally found a thick piece of cardboard from the bottom of the schoolbag, took Lin Linbei's hand, put it in his hand, and said, "Lin Linbei, I wish you Happy birthday!"

Lin Linbei looked at the red heart filled on the cardboard, and a warm current surged into his heart, and he smiled sweetly.

"Lin Linbei, come to my house for dinner tonight. I will ask my mother to make you my favorite sweet and sour ribs. She won't make it for me now. It's your birthday today. I said you want to eat it, she will definitely eat it." Do".

Chen Siyi blinked her big eyes, waiting for Lin Linbei's answer.

Lin Linbei said "OK".

When the two of them arrived home, Chen Siyi found that there was already a table of dishes on the big table, and there was an exquisite small cake in the center of the table, surrounded by unlit candles. Chen Siyi counted exactly eleven of them. .Just in time, Zhou Yi came out of the kitchen with a plate of prawns, and shouted to the two leather children, "You two, wash your hands quickly, and start eating when your dad comes back from buying drinks."

A few days ago, Zhou Yi received a call from her little sister, saying that the new store was preparing to open during this time, and she couldn’t leave at all. She hoped that Zhou Yi could help her to celebrate Lin Linbei’s birthday.In fact, Zhou Yi doesn’t need to be told by her sisters, Lin Linbei grew up under her nose little by little, and her parents don’t have time to spend a day with her on her birthday, so can Zhou Yi not feel sorry for Lin Linbei?

Zhou Yi couldn't help but complained to the little sister, "You guys are busy. It's good to have a career, but you have to take care of your children. Otherwise, you can just treat Lin Linbei as my son. I think Lin Linbei is better than my family. The boy is more sensible"

Ma Yixiao also cried over there, "There is nothing we can do. With the livelihood of so many people, we can't let our son have no food just because our son celebrates his birthday!"

Zhou Yi replied, "It's not so exaggerated, come on, busy people, go get busy, don't worry about Lin Linbei, I also raised him as my own child, besides, Chen Siyi played well with him, two children Playing together, Lin Linbei also has company."

...

Not long after the meal, Chen Siyi clamored for cake, Zhou Yi scolded him, "It's Linbei's birthday, and it's not your birthday, so why are you so anxious?"

Lin Linbei smiled and said to Zhou Yi, "Aunt Chen, let's cut the cake and eat it, otherwise it will be too late and it will be difficult to digest."

Zhou Yi always dotes on Lin Linbei, of course he immediately asked Chen Siyi's father to bring the lighter, lit the candles on the cake one by one, and asked Chen Siyi to turn off all the lights in the living room, eleven candles were dotted The flames burned in the darkness, and the dim light illuminated Lin Linbei's little face. Chen Siyi took the lead and clapped her hands and sang a happy birthday song to Lin Linbei.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you...Happy birthday to Lin Linbei!"

After the whole family sang to Lin Linbei, Chen Siyi said to Lin Linbei, "Your birthday is today. You have the privilege to make three wishes. Can you lend me one, and I will return it to you on my next birthday."

So Lin Linbei generously lent Chen Siyi a wish. The two children crossed their hands in front of the candlelight of the birthday cake, closed their eyes and began to make a wish. Chen Siyi said, "I wish that I can eat chocolate every day", and the two made a wish After wishing, they blew out the candles tacitly together, and the world suddenly fell into darkness.In the dark, Lin Linbei told Chen Siyi in his ear, "Siyi, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Chen Siyi asked curiously.

"It won't work if you say your wish."

"Ah, really? No way, so what did you wish for?"

"I can't say it, it won't come true if I say it."

...

In Lin Linbei's memory, the first good feeling about his birthday came from the age of 11.He never felt that birthday was a special day before, it was just an ordinary day in 360 days a year.His thoughts come from the neglect of his parents since he was a child. He clearly knows that maybe his parents don’t love him. His parents gave him better material conditions than most of his peers, but he also knows clearly that he loves him Not so important to parents.

It's not that I don't love you, it's that I don't love you that much, and it's not that you are unimportant, it's that it's not that important.Gradually, Lin Linbei also began to ignore himself. He began to not believe that there was really anyone who would love him in the world. After all, how could a person who didn't even love him very much from his biological parents dare to expect unconditional love from others.

Lin Linbei didn't realize that today is his 11th birthday until Chen Siyi said happy birthday to him.He didn't even expect Chen Siyi to prepare a gift for him. For the first time in his life, he truly experienced the happiness of celebrating his birthday.

It was also from this year that Chen Siyi had two unbreakable habits, celebrating Lin Linbei's birthday and preparing birthday gifts for Lin Linbei, year after year, for a full ten years.

Ten years later, Lin Linbei was no longer the child who could be satisfied with Chen Siyi saying happy birthday to him. To satisfy him now, at least Chen Siyi had to say "I love you" to him.Even though Chen Siyi celebrated his birthday every year, Lin Linbei was still looking forward to this day, because Chen Siyi could always surprise him.

The two were sitting in a coffee shop, Chen Siyi sipped the coffee in front of him, and Lin Linbei dealt with business on the laptop.

Chen Siyi suddenly remembered and asked, "Lin Linbei, do you still remember the wish you made when you were 11 years old?"

Lin Linbei replied while typing, "I remember I lent you a wish, but you didn't return it to me."

Chen Siyi lowered her head with a guilty conscience, took a big sip of coffee, and said, "Is there any? Why don't I remember?"

Lin Linbei ruthlessly exposed him, "You promised to eat chocolate every day, but because you said it, it didn't happen in the end."

"Then you didn't say, did you realize it?"

"Well, it's done." Lin Linbei smiled triumphantly, completely ignoring Chen Siyi's hateful eyes.

Lin Linbei thought that his wish was half fulfilled. The two wishes he made at that time were to spend his birthday with Chen Siyi every year in the future.At least for the past ten years, during the ten years they have passed, he has spent every birthday with Chen Siyi. As for the future, he has three wishes every year. At most, he can make them every year, so that the wishes will not expire.
