03 The old man's arrangement

???

Wu Youyou and Jiang Xi have been playing in the continent for more than 20 days.

On the evening of April 19th, they returned to Shangjing.

Wu Xiaoyu came to the airport and took them back to Tang Sijia's mansion.

After arriving at home, Jiang Xi walked into the living room and saw that everything was the same as usual and had no arrangement at all. He couldn't help but be stunned and asked Wu Xiaoyu, "Sister Xiaoyu, isn't your birthday today? Why didn't the arrangement at home be there?"

"This is what my mother means," Wu Xiaoyu said, "She said that my brother will start his own business tonight. This birthday must be simply celebrated."

"Just make it simple?" Jiang Xi frowned, "What a simple way?"

"Mom and my mother are both at my house, and the decoration has been made there." Wu Xiaoyu looked at Wu Youyou, "Mom said, after you come back, let me take Xixi over and let you be at home by yourself. There are noodles in the kitchen, so you can cook a bowl of noodles and eat it yourself..."

The mother she mentioned refers to Tang Sijia.

This is the habit of brothers and sisters. They call their own mother, our mother, and the other person's mother, they call them mother.

Wu Youyou turned around and looked at the kitchen, but didn't say anything.

"How can Aunt Tang do this?!" Jiang Xi was very excited, "Today is Brother Youyou's birthday!" "I said this too," Wu Xiaoyu was helpless, "But my mother doesn't listen, I can't do anything."

Jiang Xi looked at Wu Youyou, "Brother Youyou, I will celebrate your birthday with you!" Wu Youyou smiled faintly, "No, you go with Sister Xiaoyu."

"No!" Jiang Xi shook his head.

Wu Xiaoyu looked at Wu Youyou, "Brother, let Xixi stay. Mom has been on vacation for the housekeeper and servants, and the chef has also on vacation. You are just yourself, it's too deserted. I have been negotiating with two mothers for a whole morning because of this, but my mother doesn't let me come to accompany you no matter what. If you ask Xixi to stay, I will order a table of food for you, you two..."

"This is not what mom means," Wu Youyou said, "It is what dad means..."

Wu Xiaoyu sighed softly, feeling embarrassed, "But..."

"Our Wu family's habit is that when my son is grown up, he wants to start his own business." Wu Youyou smiled playfully, "Dad wants me to be independent from tonight, he is for my own good..."

"I really can't figure it out! What the old man wants to do?" Wu Xiaoyu was a little angry, "You are his own son and not his enemy, why are you doing this to you! Is it interesting?"

"Don't say that dad," Wu Youyou looked at her, "He arranged this way, so he naturally had his intention. Okay, you can take Xixi back, I have no problem."

"No!" Jiang Xi was firm in his attitude, "Brother Youyou, I will stay with you!"

Wu Youyou smiled faintly and touched her head, "You have been with me for more than 20 days. For me, you have delayed your studies. It's okay, I cooked a bowl of noodles by myself, watched a movie after eating, and no one cared about it at home. I don't know how free you are! You, just go with your sister Xiaoyu, eat more delicious food tonight, and wait for tomorrow..."

"No!" Jiang Xi's eyes turned red, "I won't go anywhere, I want to accompany you!"

Wu Youyou was helpless and looked at Wu Xiaoyu.

Wu Xiaoyu understood what he meant, turned to Jiang Xi and said, "Xixi, obedient, your Aunt Tang and Aunt Yang are waiting for you, and Aunt Jiang and others are also here. If you don't go, they..."

"Sister Xiaoyu, stop talking," Jiang Xi interrupted her with tears in her eyes, "It's so lively there, no one left. I can't let Brother Youyou eat noodles alone at home! I'll call the two aunts and my mother later, and I told them myself, don't persuade me."

Wu Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and looked at Wu Youyou, "Let Xixi stay."

Wu Youyou shook her head.

He advised Jiang Xi, "Xixi, I have to be alone tonight. It would be bad for you to stay. Be obedient, go there with Sister Xiaoyu, okay?"

"Brother Youyou, I..."

"obedient!"

Jiang Xi, holding tears, hesitated for a long time, nodded silently.

Wu Youyou smiled, "That's right."

He looked at Wu Xiaoyu and said, "Go back." Jiang Xi came over and hugged him.

She felt sorry for Brother Youyou, especially.

Wu Youyou smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, go with Sister Xiaoyu."

Jiang Xi shook his head.

"Assuming..." Wu Youyou said.

Jiang Xi had no choice but to let go of him.

She held back her tears and told Wu Youyou, "I'll call you tonight and I'll chat with you all night."

Wu Youyou barely squeezed out a smile, "That won't work..."

"But……"

“Go…”

Jiang Xi was silent for a while, let out a gentle breath, raised his head and looked at him, "Then you take good care of yourself."

Wu Youyou nodded.

Jiang Xi said nothing and turned around and left.

Wu Xiaoyu came over and hugged her brother, "Brother..."

"It's okay..." Wu Youyou comforted her, "Taoist people are on their birthdays. For me, this day is no different from usual, it's just eating a bowl of noodles..."

"The old man is unfair..." Wu Xiaoyu said even more.

She felt sorry for her brother, even more distressed than Jiang Xi.

"Don't say that to Dad..." Wu Youyou let go of her, "Go back..."

Wu Xiaoyu wiped his tears, nodded, and turned around and left.

Wu Youyou watched her walk out of the door, turned around and sat down in front of the sofa, and took out her cell phone.

Now he can turn on the computer.

After turning on the computer, he saw Tang Ning's WeChat.

There is only one word, "Yeah."

This was twenty-five days ago, she replied to his message.

He smiled faintly, put down his cell phone, got up to cook noodles.

The sky was already dark at this time.

Wu Youyou cooked a bowl of noodles and fryed a poached egg, but accidentally fryed it and it became battered.

He carefully put the black poached egg on the noodles, picked up the bowl, returned to the living room, sat on the sofa and started eating.

He ate very delicious.

But as he ate, he couldn't eat it anymore.

He looked at the familiar home silently, rinsing his tears, as if a bead with a broken thread.

But I can’t describe loneliness, loneliness, and loss.

Today is his birthday, his last birthday in this family.

But the mothers were not here, and the sister was not here. All his relatives were celebrating his sister's birthday, and he himself didn't even have a cake. All he had was the bowl of noodles in his hand...

He wiped his tears and continued to eat noodles.

Just as I was eating, the doorbell rang.

He was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks, wiped his tears, got up and went to the door, opened the door and saw that it was Tang Ning.

The two of them looked at each other quietly without saying a word.

After a while of silence, Tang Ning handed him the cake in his hand and said softly, "Happy birthday..."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
