The next day, the rain stopped, and Qingxi and Master Zhao went to the restaurant to meet the workers. When they went out, Qingxi also brought Fugui with them.

When Qingxi came back, Fugui did not follow him.

Yunxi loves to play with Fugui the most. The little girl was the first to find Fugui missing. She searched the front and back yards and came to ask her sister: "Where is Fugui?"

Old Mrs. Xu was knitting sweaters for her granddaughters to pass the time. Hearing this, she looked at Qingxi. Fugui is a good dog, and it would be impossible to lose it.

Qingxi lied: "Lu Duo was walking his dog by the lake. Fugui ran over when he saw Lai Fu. Lu Duo said that he would send Fugui back in a few days."

Thinking of Gu Huaixiu's purpose of being rich, Qingxi's ears were hot and he looked at his sister with guilt.

Yunxi pouted unhappily.

Old Mrs. Xu stared at her eldest granddaughter for a while, recalling the signs of wealth and honor in the past few days, she ran to chase Lai Fu. What could it be for? Seeing her dog slapping Gu Lao San’s bitch in broad daylight, it would be strange if her granddaughter didn’t blush.

Old Mrs. Xu pulled the wool and interrupted casually: "Yunxi, your mother is about to celebrate her birthday. Have you prepared a gift for her?"

Old Mrs. Xu was very dissatisfied with Lin Wanyin, a daughter-in-law who failed to give birth to a male child for the Xu family. She didn't want to remember her daughter-in-law's birthday, but who made her family have too few people and she has a good memory? She didn't plan to celebrate her birthday for her daughter-in-law, but now in order to divert her granddaughter's attention, Old Mrs. Xu had to give her daughter-in-law a decent one.

Of course, mother is more important than wealth. Yunxi was indeed led by her grandmother and happily ran to her grandmother: "Which day will my mother be born?"

Old Mrs. Xu glanced at Qingxi.

Qingxi was surprised that his grandmother actually remembered that, and he was secretly happy for his mother, feeling that his grandmother did not seem to be as disliked as her mother.

"On October 8th." Qingxi told her sister with a smile.

In the evening, after school in Yuxi, the three sisters gathered together and quietly discussed what gifts they wanted to give their mother.

Of course, Qingxi cooks. She thought about giving her mother a beautiful new clothes, but since she was scolded by her grandmother last time, her mother has put away all the brightly colored clothes and usually wears dark clothes to go out. Even if Qingxi buys clothes, her mother will never wear them. It would be better to change the gifts to avoid being sad.

Yuxi chose to write an essay specially given to her mother and read it to her mother during the birthday party of the family.

Yunxi knows nothing, so Qingxi helps her sister come up with an idea and suggests that her sister combs her mother's hair at night.

After discussing, the three sisters pretended not to remember their mother's birthday at all, and converted the restaurant to build a restaurant, read books, and play.

After a week, Lu Duo sent Fugui back. As soon as Lu Duo left, Qingxi secretly observed Fugui. Fugui, one and a half years old, looked very majestic, with black hair. After seven days of leaving home, Fugui seemed to be more energetic. Qingxi could see the brightness of his dog's eyes. His eyes swept across some place of Fugui. Qingxi was panicked and immediately went back to his room.

Fugui shook his tail and lay at the owner's door to bask in the sun.

On the evening of the seventh day of the 10th lunar month, Qingxi made a pot of fragrant longevity noodles.

Lin Wanyin had forgotten about her birthday at all and thought it was ordinary noodles. It was not until the three sisters in Qingxi stood together to wish their mother health and longevity that Lin Wanyin reacted and smiled while wiping her eyes.

Old Mrs. Xu forced a smile and watched silently.

The mother-in-law allowed her daughters to celebrate her birthday, and Lin Wanyin was already very satisfied. The daughters were filial to her, so she stood up and gave her face to her. The three girls were all smiling, and Old Mrs. Xu gave her granddaughters face, so she rarely didn't find any trouble for her daughter-in-law in one night.

"Mom, you can ask for leave tomorrow. Let's go out for fun." Yuxi suggested excitedly tomorrow Saturday.

Before Lin Wanyin could speak, Mrs. Xu rejected it: "Your mother took several leaves in the past three months. Don't take your birthday on your birthday. We can't rely on President Han's kindness to do it."

Lin Wanyin echoed softly: "Yes, you go to the park to play. Mom will come back soon after class for Miss Han."

Yuxi was very disappointed and looked at her grandmother resentfully.

Old Mrs. Xu ate noodles as if nothing had happened.

"I booked a seat and we will go to the theater to listen to the opera in the evening." Qingxi suddenly announced.

Yuxi, Yunxi almost jumped up happily.

Lin Wanyin shook her head secretly at the eldest daughter.

Qingxi just pretended that she didn't see her. Last year, her father passed away in August. It was not suitable for her mother to celebrate her birthday. This year, her father's revenge was booming, and the restaurant was progressing smoothly. Qingxi wanted to celebrate her second birthday for her mother. Her mother suffered too much grievances with her grandmother, and her father could not ease the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Qingxi was helpless and could only give her mother a surprise occasionally.

"Grandma, I've inquired about it. There is a Mr. Zhou in the theater tonight. The noble ladies in Hangzhou are the most praised by Mr. Zhou." Of course, Qingxi also knows how to please his grandmother.

Mr. Zhou is a famous big player in the province. Old Mrs. Xu always listens to others praise Mr. Zhou when he goes out to play cards, but Mr. Zhou performs all over the country. Old Mrs. Xu has been in Hangzhou for more than a year and has not waited for Mr. Zhou's performances.

"Since you have booked all the seats, then go." Old Mrs. Xu said not very enthusiastically, as if it is okay to go or not.

Qingxi smiled and handed her mother a proud look.

Lin Wanyin was very relieved when her daughter tried to make her happy.

After all, on her birthday, the next day, Lin Wanyin hesitated to change into a cheongsam with light blue embroidery on white background. Qingxi thought it looked very good, and Lin Wanyin only looked at her mother-in-law nervously. Old Mrs. Xu did not comment on her daughter-in-law's dress and talked to her granddaughters on her own.

Lin Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief, and was extremely tired somewhere in her heart.

The rickshaw ran towards Hualien Road along Nanhu Lake. Lin Wanyin closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the car. The autumn wind blew, and she seemed to have removed a thousand pounds of burden from her mother-in-law's sight. Lin Wanyin even felt that one or two hours of going to Han Jiaqin every day was the easiest time for her in a day. She didn't have to worry about wearing the wrong clothes, not worry about saying the wrong words, not worry about her mother-in-law being staring at her with picky and reproachful eyes.

The rickshaw was parked outside the Han family villa.

The door servant had known Lin Wanyin for a long time and respectfully opened the door for her.

Lin Wanyin walked in with a decent smile, perhaps because the female student who often ran out to pick her up did not appear today, and the familiar Han family villa seemed particularly quiet. Maid Li came out of the hall, nodded at her with a smile, and then went to the servant's room. Lin Wanyin stepped into the hall lightly, her eyes turned, and saw that the male owner of the villa was sitting on the luxurious sofa as usual, holding a newspaper, blocking her face.

Hearing the footsteps, Han Rong lowered the newspaper and glanced at the door casually, but after seeing the woman wearing a white cheongsam, he was amazed and forgot to immediately withdraw his gaze. He usually concealed it well enough, and Lin Wanyin didn't feel any emotions other than the male employer's tutoring teacher in him, but Han Rong was obviously...

Lin Wanyin lowered her eyes and felt a little confused. As a widow, she was not used to the fact that her husband appreciated her appearance. It was at this moment that Lin Wanyin regretted it, regretting that she indulged herself in a little dress because her daughters celebrated her birthday.

"Are early." Han Rong had returned to normal and greeted him calmly.

"President, is the lady upstairs?" Lin Wanyin tried his best to greet him.

Han Rong hesitated for a while, then put the newspaper on the table, stood up and explained to her: "Last night, Yingying's grandmother called Yingying and asked Yingying to spend the weekend. I just sent someone to send her there. Because it was too late, I couldn't notify you in time last night. I'm sorry."

Lin Wanyin smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I'll just go out and visit Nanhu. The president, you're busy, I'll go back first."

Han Rong turned his watch and coughed. While walking towards the little woman next to the door, he said embarrassedly: "Teacher Lin, in fact, I am very upset about a business recently. I really want to listen to a few piano music to refresh myself. Can you please go to the study to play a few songs? Just treat you as tutoring Yingying, and today's salary will be settled as usual."

Play songs specifically for him?

Lin Wanyin felt that it was not suitable, but Han Rong was a kind and generous employer and immediately refused...

"I'll listen downstairs and I will never disturb you." Han Rong quickly added that she was worried about the problem of men and women getting along alone.

After the employer said this, Lin Wanyin could no longer say anything to refuse. She nodded and asked Han Rong what songs she wanted to listen to.

Han Rong looked at her and smiled, his black eyes lit up like stars: "I like you to play whatever you want... I can appreciate it."

Lin Wanyin is familiar with the piano music and proposed a few songs suitable for Qingxin.

"Then I'll trouble you." Han Rong said politely, his eyes never left her face. Who told Lin Wanyin not to look at him to strengthen his courage?

Lin Wanyin went to the study on the second floor, and Han Rong sat back on the sofa, looked up with his head raised.

Not long after, the gentle sound of the piano like a gurgling water came from the study.

Han Rong closed his eyes, both satisfied and eager.

Logically speaking, Lin Wanyin had to teach two hours in the morning. Since Han Rong proposed to settle today's salary as usual, Lin Wanyin continued to play one by one. She liked to play the piano, and she forgot the time as she played it. She was trance back to her youth when she was practicing piano. As long as no one disturbed her, she could play the whole afternoon.

"Dangdangdang."

The sudden knock on the door woke up the woman immersed in the piano realm. Lin Wanyin looked over in shock.

Han Rong stood outside the study door, wearing a gray trousers and a white shirt with a Western-style vest in the same color as his pants. His short hair with oil was neatly combed to the back. He was young and handsome, and exuded the elegance and dignity of a high-class man. But he was like a male waiter in a Western restaurant, holding a tray with one hand.

Lin Wanyin left her seat in confusion.

"I have been playing for so long, let's take a break. My mother Li made the cake. I can't eat it alone, so Teacher Lin can try it too." Han Rong explained generously.

The study room has a door and a window, but when Han Rong walked in, it means that there were only two of them here, and the man and woman lived in the same room. If it was reported, what would the mother-in-law think?

Lin Wanyin was uncomfortable all over and didn't care about etiquette anymore. She lowered her eyes and refused, "No, actually, I still have something to do at home. The president is slow to use it, I'll leave first."

Han Rong was almost walking to the desk next to the window, but seeing Lin Wanyin heading straight to the door, Han Rong ran over without thinking and stopped Lin Wanyin with rapid breathing.

Lin Wanyin's face turned pale. In this case, she had bad fantasies in her mind.

"OK……"

"Do you know this?" Han Rong blocked the door, and, under Lin Wanyin's gaze in surprise, lifted the silver lid on the tray.

Under the lid is a round white pastry with three thin candles inserted on it.

Lin Wanyin doesn't know him.

Han Rong looked at her pale face and whispered: "This is called a birthday cake. Foreigners celebrate birthdays like this. First blow out the candles and close their eyes to make a wish, then cut the cake to eat, so that their wish can be realized."

Lin Wanyin looked at him in shock.

Han Rong's throat rolled and his forehead was sweating, but he lied to himself: "Last time Yuxi and the others came to play, saying that your birthday is today. Yingying repeatedly reminded me last night that I remember to prepare the cake. I should have backed up the gift, but..."

It turned out to be a cake given by Han Ying. Lin Wanyin's rapid heartbeat was relieved and she stuttered: "No, no gift, the president and the lady are too polite, really don't need it."

She was also nervous, but Han Rong calmed down instead and moved the cake to her: "Blow the candles and make a wish, foreign things are very good."

He was almost putting the cake on Lin Wanyin's face, and it was hard to refuse the affection. Lin Wanyin had to drive the ducks on the shelves. When he pouted and blew the candles, the man's eyes were so obvious. Lin Wanyin blushed awkwardly, and did not blow out the closest one. After blowing, he opened his eyes and saw that two were still burning. Lin Wanyin was stunned.

"It must be blown away." Han Rong said the rules with a funny look.

Lin Wanyin's face turned redder and she blew again perfunctorily.

"Close your eyes and make a wish." Han Rong did not give her any chance to react and immediately issued a new order.

Lin Wanyin obeyed for no reason and made a wish...

Her soft face slowly became pious, her hands clasped together, and made a soft wish: "Please ask the Bodhisattva to bless my mother-in-law to be healthy and healthy, to bless my three daughters to be safe and happy in the future."

Han Rong looked at the woman who was within reach and forgot to tell her that she didn't need to say anything to make a wish, and that foreigners did not believe in Bodhisattvas.

"Thank you." After the wish was over, Lin Wanyin opened her eyes, but she never dared to look at the man opposite her again.

"Happy birthday, I wish you a happy marriage for the rest of your life." Han Rong handed over the whole cake to her, then turned around and left.
