My very cool daughter-in-law

It's raining in the beginning of autumn, and there seems to be a slight chill in the air in an instant.

Sheng Xun has rarely celebrated his birthday seriously since he was full. In the past few years when he was in college, his birthdays were often either at the end of the summer vacation, or just in time for their majors to return to school early, so it was very logical. If When the beginning of autumn happened to be at home, he met up with friends who were still in the summer vacation, had a birthday meal and the last summer dinner together, and then went home to eat a meal of ingot wontons made by his grandparents. This birthday is regarded as pass.

And if Liqiu has already returned to school that day, and met with the "short vacation" brother of the same major in the dormitory, then this birthday will become more improvable-go out at night and have a barbecue at the north gate of the school. .

All in all, Sheng Xun hasn't eaten Yuanbao wontons at home for two consecutive years, and used skewers to cope with his birthday for two years.

This year is the postgraduate entrance examination year and the internship year, Sheng Xun is still not at home on this birthday, and there are very few acquaintances in school, and he has many things and is busy.

So when he got up early this morning, Sheng Xun didn't have the consciousness of celebrating his birthday at all.

Subconsciously, he has already thought that this year is unnecessary, and this unconscious birthday star opened his eyes in the early morning.He had a lot of weird dreams the night before, and it was rare that the quality of sleep was not high. After waking up, he couldn't remember the content of the dreams clearly. He only remembered feeling inexplicably melancholy and complicated, as if the emotions in the dream had been extended into reality.

Sheng Xun was waking up with his eyes open facing the ceiling. On a rainy day, the light in the room with the curtains drawn was also dim. He stared aimlessly at the ceiling for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong around him.

The rain in the beginning of autumn is a bit chilly, and the wind mixed with the rain is also carrying cold water vapor. When he slept last night, he drew the curtains and did not close the windows. It is normal for the cold wind to blow to the bedside.

...But it's too cold next to him, right?

"..." Sheng Xun looked at the ceiling immersed in the darkness for a while, and his mind finally broke free from the stupor and slowness when he first woke up.

He rolled over on the side that was too cold - facing a face that was watching him silently.

Of course the owner of the face can only be Xiaoqiu.

The ghost doesn't know how long he has been on the sidelines. Sheng Xun's sleeping posture is not bold, but it is not too well-behaved. Since he lived alone, he likes to sleep alone in the middle of the big bed. The long hands and long legs are stretched out, unintentionally expanding the area occupied by the bed.

Xiaoqiu is also amazing. He has given full play to his characteristics as a ghost. He can successfully find a space under Sheng Xun's considerable bed area and fill it with himself, and his filling skills are very superb. Sheng Xun didn't realize that it was abnormally cold around him after waking up, so he couldn't realize that Xiao Qiu was here.

"Happy birthday." Said the ghost who got on a human's bed with superb technology, no matter what his body was like, at least his face was still politely facing the human.

Waking up early in the morning turned into a daytime version of "there is a ghost in the bed", and the purpose of the ghost doing this is to be the first to send birthday wishes.

Sheng Xun reacted for another two seconds before sitting up from the bed. While saying "thank you", he couldn't help reaching out and touching the face beside the quilt.

Not for anything else, just because Xiaoqiu is very obsessed with details when she goes to bed.

He got into the quilt, and pulled the edge of the quilt to his neck neatly.

At this time, Sheng Xun had already sat up, and when he woke up, he restrained his arms and legs that had occupied the bed unscrupulously before, and under the quilt, Xiao Qiu's body appeared to be only a small ball.

Objectively speaking, this scene is actually quite scary. Even a person who knows nothing about human body structure can still see the imbalance and distortion of the body under the mask.

But Sheng Xun not only touched it boldly, but after he finished touching it, he moved his hand back to Xiao Qiu's head exposed outside the quilt, and patted the top of the ghost's hair lightly.

"Wouldn't it be uncomfortable?" Sheng Xun asked with concern.

Xiaoqiu shook her head against the quilt.

Sheng Xun turned over and got out from the other side of the double bed: "Then you can't continue twisting like this, I'm getting up, and you are about to stretch yourself out."

A group of limbs under the quilt made several "click" sounds.

Xiaoqiu straightened herself from the neck down like a rolled out dough.

He also lifted the quilt and got up, and turned back into a good ghost with normal proportions.

When Sheng Xun realized that he seemed to have overlooked something—Xiao Qiu actually thought of following the quilt to lie with him, and he didn't care about it at all after getting up, only paying attention to Xiao Qiu's physical condition and During the birthday greetings, he had already finished a bowl of longevity noodles specially provided by the birthday star, and he had already left the house, on the subway to his work place.

Of course, that bowl of longevity noodles was not made by ghosts at home.

Although Xiaoqiu can meet Sheng Xun, ordinary fresh products will still be corrupted in his hands, and his ghost aura will still affect other angry items.

The two dolls have a better range of contact with fresh ingredients than Xiaoqiu, especially Xiaoxiong. With his suede body, there is basically nothing he cannot touch.

Let the two dolls cook for Sheng Xun... Isn't this a joke?The dolls are not as tall as the kitchen stove, even if they have super mobility and can move the kitchen utensils on the stove, but if they want to cook a real meal that people can eat, let alone be as big as Sheng Xun After thinking about it for a while, it would not pass Xiaoqiu who is very concerned about Sheng Xun's diet.

Xiaoqiu will not let Sheng Xun eat the weird things made by the dolls after "improving the dolls".

Thank you for the omnipotent modern technology, and also thank Sheng Xun for buying Xiaoqiu's mobile phone and teaching the ghost to use the app.

Early this morning, Xiaoqiu, as a ghost whose age is temporarily inauspicious, but definitely not young, he used his mobile phone to place a breakfast takeaway order very well adapted to modern life, and even ordered two extra poached eggs for the birthday star.

Everything went very smoothly. The takeaway was delivered to the door of Sheng Xun’s door shortly after he woke up. Not many people ordered takeaway in the early morning. The bowl of noodle soup was delicious and firm, and the poached egg was also delicate and soft, and the egg yolk was soft, and a layer of it was sprinkled on top. Chopped green onions and dried shrimps are fresh and hot when delivered.

At most, it is the store owner who takes the order and the rider brother who delivers the food. They may feel a little weird about this order.

Because the mobile phone signal of the customer who placed the order early in the morning was too erratic, and the voice sounded too chilly.

The owner of the store received a call right after he took the order. He, a customer, was too lazy to write a note, so he called him directly and told him that the yolk of the poached egg should not be sugary, but it should not be too old.

The cheerful boss agreed one by one, but always felt that the voice of the guest seemed to be near and far away, sometimes it seemed to be behind him, and the noise of the other party's mobile phone was also a bit heavy, and there would be a "sizzling" electric sound from time to time, which made people feel uncomfortable. The voice also sounds distorted.

"Eggs don't need sweets but tender ones, noodles and soup are served separately, chopped green onions need chili peppers—okay!" The boss re-checked the requirements, and before hanging up the phone, he said, "Is there something wrong with your mobile phone?" Huh? From my side, the sound fluctuates and there are noises. If there is a problem, I have to go to see it and fix it early, otherwise, the phone is broken in these years, which will delay things.”

The guest with a cool voice thanked him coolly, and then hung up the phone.

Not long after, this scene was repeated at the delivery boy.

"Is your mobile phone going to break down?" The young delivery man couldn't help asking while checking the room number on the floor. He was about to walk to the door of the customer's house, but he always felt that the closer he was to the other's house, why the noise in the call continued? It gets heavier, and the signal seems to get worse.

And he didn't know if it was his illusion, he also felt that the aisle outside the family's door was colder than the windy and rainy outside.

"It's okay." The customer on the call answered coolly amidst the noise, his voice was so cold that it made people shiver.

In the background sound, there even seems to be the laughter of children, asking: "Are you coming, are you coming?"

Is it breakfast for the kids at home?The delivery guy thought.

He reached the door in a few steps.

The person who opened the door for him was a handsome young man whose voice was completely different from the one on the phone. He still had a towel around his neck and his hair was slightly steamy.

"Thank you." The handsome guy with a not at all cold voice thanked the delivery man politely, and checked the phone number with him.

The takeaway boy was in a daze, but he caught a glimpse of many children's favorite toys on the cabinet at the entrance.

Although I didn't see where the children of this family are, but there are children's things and the phone number is correct, so it is indeed this family, right...?

The bewildered delivery man was still a little confused until he returned downstairs.

Fortunately, the orders began to increase in the early morning, and his device sounded several reminders of new orders one after another. Soon, he had no time to take care of this small episode of work, and continued to run around in his little yellow helmet with kangaroo ears. On the way to deliver the bill.

Kangaroo ears are proof of the district's number one performance.

This hard-working monthly performance star never imagined that most colleagues tell ghost stories, which means that it is possible to receive orders from ghosts in the middle of the night. He does not work night shifts and starts work early in the morning every day. delivery.

Sheng Xun's 22nd birthday started with receiving birthday greetings from Lai Gui and longevity noodles from Guidian. Andy and Xiaoxiong sang a birthday song for him with the accompaniment of hand-knocking piano while he was eating the noodles.

On the subway to work, Sheng Xun had time to swipe his mobile phone for a while, and then found that although he did not go home this year, his family members sent him birthday greetings early in the morning. Uncles and relatives are the most succinct, and grandparents are the most lengthy—because the elderly always worry about their grandchildren more.

He clicked on the WeChat of the two elders respectively, and not only received several 60-second voices in succession, but also a dozen of "must-reads for changing seasons" and "must-sees for 20-year-olds" that the other party didn't know where to read.

A survey was conducted on the Internet, and the question asked was which type of news contemporary young people hate to receive the most. Among the following options, "Every message is a 60-second voice message" topped the voting list.

The vast majority of people said that this kind of long voice message makes people irritable at first glance, and the conversion of voice to text often makes mistakes, so they really can't bear to listen to it one by one.

Sheng Xun was fine with this, he could listen to people's voice messages as patiently as he could listen to people talking face to face.

In addition, the person who sent this message is an elder in the family, so he is a little more calm than facing ordinary people. Not only will he listen to it, but he will also reply with a voice or two to the elderly who don't like to read long paragraphs of typing.

Just like that, according to the seniority order of the family's elders, Sheng Xun returned the family's information, and the subway arrived at its destination.

In the last few minutes of his walk to the post, he just had time to read the greetings from other classmates and friends.

Lao Luo's WeChat name is followed by a small red dot with two digits, and the front of it is full of emoticons, and a wrongly clicked New Year's greeting is mixed in, and this person took advantage of the opportunity to call Sheng Xun an early New Year's greetings.

After these playful emojis, Lao Luo began to talk about business, saying that although there are fewer people in the dormitory this year, the other buddies who are close to each other either did not return to school or signed internships in other places, and it may be the case when they come back to class after school When you find time, there are fewer and fewer people gathering—but even if there are few people, as long as he is still there, and Sheng Xun is also there, then this year's regular barbecue night cannot be missed.

He even went to the barbecue restaurant on the workshop street to reserve the location, and today he wants to give Sheng Xun the most fancy birthday cake in the whole store.

Sheng Xun was a little touched when he saw it in front of him, but when he saw "the most fancy cake in the store" in the back, he recalled the cake styles that the old Luo's bakery workshop displayed every day, and his emotion turned numb. Ask the other party to spare his birthday.

"The most fancy thing in your house is the customer-ordered multi-tiered wedding cake." Sheng Xun said helplessly while pressing the voice button, "You want to give me the most fancy thing in the whole store, are you planning to push me a twelve-story wedding tower with a trolley at night? "

Lao Luo was also playing with his mobile phone, and the message was basically returned in seconds, and he immediately played a voice back.

As soon as Sheng Xun drove away, he heard Lao Luo's giggling laughter on the street without warning.

Sheng Xun: "..."

He accidentally turned up the external volume of his mobile phone a little loudly, and Lao Luo's goose call alarmed the pedestrians in front, back, left, and right.

But Sheng Xun knows a truth well, that is, when embarrassment strikes, as long as you are not embarrassing and do not move like a mountain, the embarrassing one is someone else.

He held his expression firmly, and continued to listen to Lao Luo's voice.

I heard Lao Luo running the train with his mouth full of words: "It's okay, brother, do you know how old you are today? 22! From today on, you are also a person who can legally enter the marriage hall, and I will give you today. Make a multi-layered cake, according to wedding standards, congratulations in advance that you can get married from today onwards!"

Although Sheng Xun's work place is not a landmark commercial area like the CBD, it is also located in a quiet office resident. At this hour, pedestrians on the left and right are basically going to work at the unit.

When a few people who walked a little closer heard the geese, they were already looking at Sheng Xun with surprise eyes, and when they heard the reason for the release behind Lao Luo, the two people walking in front of Sheng Xun couldn't help turning their heads. , I probably want to see who is so weird, who has a 22nd birthday and still wants to celebrate being able to get married and eat a wedding cake.

Besides, in today's society, are there really young people who think about getting married as soon as they reach the age of 22?

This must be a rare breed, right?

In the cool wind under the curtain of rain in early autumn, Sheng Xun held his mobile phone in one hand and held an umbrella in the other.

He stared at the passers-by who turned back without a word.

The world is always more tolerant of good-looking people.

Everyone has a love for beauty, the strange passerby turned his head towards Sheng Xun, his gaze swept across the young handsome guy's face, and after a while, the crazy expression disappeared from the other person's face.

One of them smiled at Sheng Xun, and completely forgot why he turned his head before, and greeted Sheng Xun very smoothly: "Hey, is it your birthday?"

Sheng Xun attracted the attention of passers-by because of Lao Luo's goose call, and because of his own strength, he got a strike-up.

It was only later that he managed to suppress Lao Luo Zhen's idea of ​​making him a wedding cake, and then continued to read the messages sent by other people during the time before going to work.

Zou He also sent birthday greetings to Sheng Xun, and told him that the money had been sent directly to his certain treasure account, because the transfer on WeChat is a red envelope, and the other party was afraid that he would not order it, so they returned it after 24 hours. The next door will arrive in a second, so you don't worry.

After finishing the payment straight to the point, Mr. Zou saw that Sheng Xun happened to be online, so he chatted with him a little bit, asking him if he woke up so early, could it be that the school had already started early?

Sheng Xun replied that no, there is a job.

Zou He asked curiously: You have a new commission so soon?

Sheng Xun: It's not a commission, it's an internship, the experience material when preparing for graduation and looking for a job in advance.

This time, "the other party is typing" above Zou He's head flickered for a while, and after a while, the other party only sent a question mark.

Zou He:?

Sheng Xun:?

Zou He:? ? ?

Sheng Xun: ...?

After two rounds of question marks from you to me, Zou He finally sent a text message, saying that he really didn't expect that someone like Sheng Xun would actually plan to join a general industry in the future.

He simply sent a voice and said: "Do you know that every time this happens, I will suddenly have a particularly strong sense of disobedience towards you."

Some people already have ghosts at home, and their own abilities are enough to break through in a special field.

As a result, he still felt in his heart that he was an ordinary person, who would go to school diligently, practice diligently, and planned to take an ordinary route to do ordinary work in the future.

"They now call you a hidden new star in the mystic arts industry, a powerful newcomer." Zou He sighed and said, "Why don't you have any awareness that you are becoming very powerful?"

And Sheng Xun replied: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zou, I'm going to check in at work."

Zou He: "..."

Okay, it seems that there is really no cognition.

It wasn't until he sat down at his desk later that the messages on Sheng Xun's phone were basically answered efficiently by him.

The only remaining unanswered messages were sorted to the front. Sheng Xun looked at them, but paused.

He intentionally left them for last to reply.

That was a greeting from junior Chu.

Chu Shi first wished Sheng Xun a happy birthday, and then said that the affairs of his family seem to have come to an end recently. The elders in the family have received feedback that Sheng Xun has successfully completed the commission, and they no longer continue to suspect that he bought the rhino horn incense because he wanted to "" Bad rules", he was particularly pleased.

He is helping Lao Luo at the workshop today, and he has resumed his normal part-time job in the workshop recently. He does not need to ask for leave frequently. Birthday deserted.

"That's it, senior." Junior Chu also sent a voice, his voice was not as fluent as when he was typing, and he said a little tentatively, "After your birthday, there may be two people on my side who want to see you... Is it convenient for you?"

The author has something to say: Sheng Xun: I am just an ordinary golden light body protector.
