Chapter 143
The moon is in the middle of the sky, the night is already dark, the sky is full of stars, and three swaying bright Kongming lanterns are slowly rising.

The big characters written on the white paper clothes are particularly conspicuous.Gu Li took a closer look, the eyelids were slightly moist.

"Ali, happy birthday!"

The man beside him spoke slowly, and even the title became much closer.

"The Kongming Lantern is a birthday gift from my baby, and it's mine."

The wooden brocade box is the same color as the hairpin last time, but this time it is a boxy style.

Gu Li took it over and said softly, "Thank you!"

Shao Ting smiled: "I'm not used to you talking so politely. Hurry up and make a wish!"

If someone said this to her in the previous life, she would probably sneer and reply, "Naive!"

But now, she obediently closed her eyes, and said silently in her heart: I hope her family is healthy and safe!
This was her first birthday since she could remember. There was no cake, flowers, or feasting, but she really felt the feeling of being cared about.

"Gu Li, come here, I have to eat longevity noodles for my birthday."

Mrs. Shao greeted with a smile.Jing Shan supported her with one hand, and held a tray with a bowl of steaming noodle soup on it with the other.

Gu Li hurried forward, with a resentful voice: "Mom, you should rest well if you are injured. What if you get hurt again!"

Mrs. Shao didn't take it seriously, "Birthday is such a big event, if Da Mao and the others hadn't told me, I'm afraid my mother would be kept in the dark again. Gu Li, mother hopes that you will be safe and happy every year. "

"Thank you mother!" Gu Li stroked her hand and said sincerely.

Jing Shan on the side grinned his big white teeth and asked tentatively? : "Sister-in-law, why don't you eat noodles first! The main reason is that my arm can't hold it anymore."

Indeed, it was not easy for him to hold Mrs. Shao by the arm, and he was afraid of hurting her feet, and he had to keep the noodle soup on the tray from spilling.

Shao Ting stepped forward to take the tray in his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Excellent!"

Gu Li also smiled: "Jingshan has worked hard."

Jing Shan shook his head flattered: "It's not hard work, it's a duty to serve my sister-in-law."

He was sure that if he showed any dissatisfaction, he would definitely be torn to pieces by the boss.

"Okay, Xiaoshan, the noodles are also delivered, take me back to my room to rest!" Mrs. Shao said to him.

"Mom, let me see you off!" Gu Li just wanted to go forward, but she refused, "Hey, no need. Xiao Shan will just send me off. You hurry up and eat noodles, and look at the Kongming lantern with the second child. It's very good."

After the old lady Shao finished speaking, she gave Jing Shan a look, and the latter immediately understood, "Yes, sister-in-law, don't disappoint the kind-hearted people! It's a beautiful day, and continue to enjoy the moon! I'll send the old lady back first. house."

He winked, his intention was not too obvious.The man next to him changed his usual cheap talk and didn't refute at all.

He definitely did it on purpose.

There were only the two of them left in the silent courtyard. Seeing the three Kongming lanterns slowly drifting away into the distance and gradually disappearing into a small dot, Gu Li's heart was suddenly covered with a layer of haze.
Will the three little ones also be like Kongming lanterns, gradually getting farther and farther away from themselves, until finally disappearing?
Thinking of such a scene, her heart felt like being cut with a knife again, and she felt a sharp pain.This feeling is really uncomfortable, she changed her expression slightly, "Well, I'll go and see the three little ones!"

Just as she turned around, a warm palm pulled her back, "They have already promised me that they will sleep well. Besides, you don't plan to eat noodles anymore?"

Shao Ting brought out the noodle bowl, put the tray aside, and handed it to her with both hands: "Mother's kindness. Or, in fact, you want me to feed it"

As soon as the word hello came out, the noodle bowl in her hand had already been brought over. Gu Li picked up the chopsticks on the tray, and began to eat and drink regardless of her image. However, after taking the first bite, she frowned,

"Nine times out of ten, this is Jing Shan's handwriting. Mother will not make such a mistake."

Yes, the noodles are a bit salty.Reminiscent of Mrs. Shao's legs, so it is logical to direct Jing Shan to do it.

It's a pity that Jing Shan is fine with a knife. As for cooking, let him stop wishful thinking.

"Then don't eat it!" Shao Ting's face changed slightly when he heard her words, and the next second he reached out to take the bowl and chopsticks, but Gu Li dodged away,

"If you let me eat, I have to eat. If you don't let me eat, I won't eat. How can I talk so well?"

Hearing her nonsense, Shao Ting couldn't laugh or cry, "Well, well, you are the birthday star and you are the oldest."

Gu Li ate up the bowl of salty noodles, not even down the soup.Shao Ting thoughtfully prepared tea, for fear that her mouth would be dry because it was too salty.The time between the two of them is actually the time to be alone and eat a bowl of noodles.It's just that some things seem to have changed a lot.

Sure enough, as expected, she soon felt a little dry mouth, drinking a cup of plum tea prepared by Shao Ting, immediately felt very comfortable.

In fact, Shao Ting is also careful, and seems to be more considerate than himself in some small matters.

Inadvertently saw the brocade box on the stage, Gu Li picked it up on his own.

Gently opened the box and saw a snow-white jade button lying quietly inside.The jade buckle was tied with a Chinese knot made of red string, and Gu Li picked it up and began to examine it carefully.

This material is not much different from the previous hairpin, and it also has a common feature, that is, it is also engraved with magnolia flowers.

A thin paper roll next to it was neatly bundled together, and Gu Li picked it up curiously, with two lines of thank you in small words on it,

Congratulations on the birth of my wife, gathering together to celebrate each other, hoping to have a happy conversation together, happy face forever, happy and branched.

He actually came back specially to celebrate this birthday with him!

This discovery warmed Gu Li's heart, but he couldn't help laughing and cursing: "You're really cheeky, who is your wife!"

Put the thin paper roll back to the side of the box in the same way, just thinking about putting the things in the cabinet, but I vaguely remembered Shao Ting's advice last night: "In the future, remember to wear the things I give you. .”

So does he really want to wear that hairpin or this jade buckle?
However, what she can be sure of now is that Shao Ting still has a soft spot for magnolia flowers.The two gifts I gave myself were engraved with this pattern.I don't even know why it fits.

Gu Li has always disliked guessing other people's thoughts, but at this moment he couldn't help but analyze this man in detail.

He made a special trip back today to celebrate his birthday, and even gave him a gift, so he should be thankful both emotionally and rationally.This has already been said verbally, so let's take some practical actions!
Gu Li decided to go grocery shopping tomorrow morning and cook some delicious food to reward Shao Ting and Jing Shan.

Their work must have been very hard recently, and Shao Ting seemed to be quite haggard.After making up his mind, Gu Li sat down on the bed contentedly and closed his eyes.
