Li Qingyou's birthday banquet was both simple and grand. It was simple because according to her current status, for a birthday banquet, she had to go to a restaurant to set up a table and invite friends to celebrate.

To say grand is that compared with last year, compared with just the two siblings, this year there are more Zhao Xiaoshan, mother and son, and Liu Xiaosan, plus a table full of sumptuous dishes.

"That's it for this year, so we have to make arrangements for the New Year." During the New Year, Li Qingyou turns fifteen and has hairpins, which is equivalent to an adult ceremony.

Xiaoshan Niang said as she took out a handkerchief from her arms, which she had specially prepared in the past two days and was embroidered according to the pattern on the handkerchief Mrs. Xu gave her last time.

Zhao Xiaoshan also took out a gift he had prepared in advance, which was an engraving of a kitten. Just press it on the ink pad, or brush it with ink, and then print it on the paper to create a lifelike kitten.

Li Qingyou asked him to carve this last year, but it was always unsatisfactory. After a year of accumulation and practice, his craftsmanship was much more refined than last year.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Li Qingyou accepted the two gifts. Regardless of whether they are high or low, they are at least a piece of their heart. This is the most rare thing.

Adi also gave him a gift, which was a snow-white jade pendant for his robe, which he bought with the money he earned from copying books.

"My sister has a happy birthday, may you always have good fortune and longevity, and live as long as the rest of the world." When my brother said this, he scratched his head. Just as he was thinking about whether this congratulation was not appropriate, he saw Li Qingyou holding the jade pendant and frowning.

"Where did you get the money?" Li Qingyou stroked the jade pendant. It was not made of high-quality material, and the water quality was not very good. It was not very crystal clear, and impurities could be seen faintly.

But even such a jade pendant cannot be bought casually. She knows exactly how much pocket money Adi has in his hand. Besides, Adi is not such a meticulous child. It is impossible for him to save such a large amount of money.

Come and buy such a jade pendant, which is of good quality in the eyes of ordinary people.

Adi obviously didn't expect his sister Qingyou's attention to this. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to explain it. He subconsciously told the truth, "I earned it myself."

Li Qingyou's eyes widened, "Did you earn it yourself?"

Why didn't she know when her sister had become a money-making expert?

After Adi's explanation and Liu Xiaosan's testimony, Li Qingyou found out that he had copied books to make money a few days ago. For a moment, he looked at Adi with distressed and complicated eyes.

She never expected that her brother would do this, but she felt warm in her heart, and finally sighed and said: "In the future, we don't have to copy books to make money. Our family can still live well. You just need to study hard."

Adi nodded obediently.

Liu Xiaosan quickly stood up and interrupted, "I, what can I do? I don't know that today is the girl's birthday, so I haven't prepared anything."

While saying this, he also complained that Zhao Xiaoshan and his son did not tell him in advance.

"Whether you are prepared or not is just a matter of your mind. It will be done when your mind comes to you. Otherwise, you can just say a few words of birthday greetings." Xiaoshan Niang said.

Liu Xiaosan remembered the words Liu Xiaoliu said and immediately said: "Then I wish the girl a blessing as long as the flowing water of the East China Sea, and a life as long as the Nanshan Mountains." He didn't know the original text of this congratulation, so he could only follow Liu Xiao's words

Say the original word for six again.

Li Qingyou, "..."

In addition to the gift, Adi took out another thing. Everyone present except Li Qingyou looked at it with dumbfounded eyes. Xiaoshan Niang pointed at Adi and her expression changed.

"Ah, brother, what are you doing? How could you do this? Aren't you trying to curse your sister?" Xiaoshan Niang pointed at brother and accused him of being a rebellious child with her eyes.

Zhao Xiaoshan and Liu Xiaosan on the side also looked at Adi incomprehensibly, as if he had done something outrageous.

Only Li Qingyou looked calm, looking at the steamed bun held in his brother's hand with a stick of incense stuck on it, he remembered that on her birthday last year, he suddenly wanted to make a birthday cake.

Of course, the so-called birthday cake is just imaginary. The imaginary template is a birthday cake, but the real thing is a steamed bun.

As for the incense above, it replaces birthday candles.

A year later, Li Qingyou didn't expect that Adi would still remember this. Although she thought it was nothing at the time and was quite narcissistic, she didn't feel anything wrong now, but after all, it was not just her and Adi, but there were three other people here.

And those three people all looked like they were in danger, as if they were accusing Adi of how he could curse his sister who cared and loved him so much.

"It's very good, I like it very much." Li Qingyou smiled and took the "birthday cake" and blew it hard a few times. However, the incense head and the candle were two different things. She couldn't blow it out, so she had to compromise and dip the incense head in it.

The water went out.

So during this birthday banquet, in addition to a bowl of longevity noodles, Li Qingyou ate an extra steamed bun, plus a table full of meat dishes, which led to her eating a bit too much at night.

Not only did I eat too much, I also drank a little too much.

Li Qingyou doesn't like drinking very much, but drinking is an essential skill for businessmen. These days, she encounters a lot of drinking establishments, and she always has a few drinks, and she gradually develops her drinking capacity.

Fortunately, there is no fake wine in this day and age. Drinking pure grain wine does not get you drunk, and the alcohol content is not high, but you are still a little dizzy and a little hot.

Li Qingyou was so hot that she wanted to go out for a walk.

"You're still going out so late?" Xiaoshan Niang glanced outside, "It's completely dark. Why don't you ask Xiaoshan to come with you?"

Originally this was Liu Xiaosan's job, but he had gone home before dark, so Xiaoshan Niang called her son and asked him to go home later and go out with Li Qingyou.

"No, I'll just walk around the door. You should be busy with your work." Li Qingyou waved her hand, just as her brother ran out of the back room and insisted on joining her, so she took him out of the yard.

As soon as he left the entrance of the hospital, he saw a dark shadow flashing past his eyes, which startled Li Qingyou and caused him to wake up from the wine.

"Who?" Li Qingyou stared at the alley in front of her, her whole body on guard. Adi beside her moved her hand without any trace, grabbing the lotus stick in her sleeve, ready to give him a blow at any time.

The figure in the alley flashed, and it was Zhang Tieniu who walked out.

Li Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was relieved, she nodded towards the other party, turned around and prepared to continue walking.

Although she and Zhang Tieniu once had a good relationship, after so many things happened, it was impossible for the two of them to go back to the past. It would be awkward to meet each other, so it was better not to meet each other.

It's just that the Zhang family is still a few doors away from the Li family. Li Qingyou was still a little surprised that he appeared here so late at night, but he didn't think much about it.
