You are water and I am ice

The [-]th day of the fifth lunar month is Hu Yibing's birthday.Lin Qingquan decided to celebrate Hu Yibing's birthday, so as to take the opportunity to completely resolve the knot in the hearts of the father and daughter.

When Lin Qingquan was tutoring Hu Xueying with her homework, she told her what she thought.

Hu Xueying froze for a moment, Hu Yibing would keep her birthday in mind every year.Although the relationship between the father and daughter has always been bad, Hu Yibing never took the initiative to say that he would celebrate Hu Xueying's birthday, but every year Hu Yibing would buy Hu Xueying a gift, and then quietly put it on her bedside.Hu Xueying knew that no matter how rebellious she was or how she disappointed Hu Yibing, he would still remember her birthday.

"Every year, the coffin-faced man buys me presents on my birthday. But he has low vision and I don't like the things he buys, but I'm still very happy and will keep them." Hu Xueying said with a heart A little guilty, "I forgot his birthday, and he never mentioned it."

"Actually, I am the same. Children are like this." Lin Qingquan said sadly, immersed in the memory, "Our family was very poor at that time, but the mother of each of our children would remember each child's birthday. On the birthday, My mother always boiled two eggs for us and scrambled a delicious dish.” At that time, my mother’s care and simple meals were the warmest and most simple touches in my memory.

"Later, I got married and worked outside. My mother would call me every birthday. At that time, my mother had to walk for more than an hour on the mountain road to the town to make a phone call. It wasn't until my mother passed away that I remembered that I never called my mother. Have a birthday. Every year on my mother’s birthday, how sad she must be. How unfilial we children are.” Lin Qingquan’s eyes welled up with tears.

After hearing Lin Qingquan's words, Hu Xueying was silent for a long time.

"Father Lin, you can make arrangements, I will follow your orders." Finally Hu Xueying said.

Hu Yibing really forgot his birthday. He doesn't have much contact with his parents, siblings, and he doesn't have much to say when they meet. Everyone doesn't take his affairs very seriously, and no one remembers his birthday. .

That day Hu Yibing returned home after work and found that the house was deserted.Lin Qingquan and Hu Xueying were not at home.

Hu Yibing wondered in his heart, what are these two guys doing, they don't come home so late, maybe Hu Xueying pestered Lin Qingquan to buy something for her again.This girl was really closer to Lin Qingquan than his own father, Hu Yibing felt a sour taste in his heart.

A little lost for a while, Hu Yibing walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner.Pushing open the door of the kitchen, I saw a hand-painted sunflower with a smiling face on the stove, and a line of small red characters below: "Uncle, today is a special day, please dress up beautifully, and go to the Hetao next to the water park Find us."

Hu Yibing smiled slightly, what the hell are these two guys doing, is today a special day?Hu Yibing rubbed his head and didn't remember why today is a special day.He took out his mobile phone and called Lin Qingquan and Hu Xueying, but both of them hung up on him directly.

Hu Yibing returned to the bedroom, and there was a set of newly bought summer clothes neatly placed on the bed.A sky blue short-sleeved T-shirt, light gray cropped pants, and a bottle of cologne.What the hell is going on, is it possible that Lin Qingquan still insists on introducing a girlfriend to himself.This time Hu Xueying actually supported him, which woman has such great charm.

Well, just cooperate with them once.Hu Yibing put on new clothes and sprayed on some perfume, looked at himself in the mirror for a while, and went out.

In the water park, there are aunts dancing in the square, and the sound of fast-paced music floats in the night sky.Outside the park is the Jinying River. The loop is very wide, and there is very little water in the river, which is a shallow line.In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the south is already very hot, and the Red City outside the Great Wall has just begun to feel summer.

Hu Yibing passed through the aunts dancing in the square and walked onto the embankment.The soft branches of a row of weeping willows on the river bank sway gently with the night wind, and the flowers of thorn roses exude a strong floral fragrance.This kind of night is suitable for young couples to talk about love, Hu Yibing suddenly thought, what would it be like to hold Lin Qingquan's hand and walk in such a night?

Hu Yibing walked into the river loop, where the grass was more than a foot high and densely stretched along the river.There is a rubber dam adjacent to the water park, which has accumulated a large area of ​​water, and the water waves are rippling with the night wind, shattering a piece of starlight.There are fireflies flying in the grass by the water, and the dots of fluorescent light against the swaying starlight are dreamlike.Hu Yibing has never discovered that the Jinying River in summer nights has such a beautiful scenery. Why didn't he discover it when he grew up in the Red City?

Some people lit candles in a slightly flat place by the water, and some were talking and laughing.Hu Yibing heard Hu Xueying's laughter and the muffled barking of the puppy, and walked towards the place where the candlelight was burning.

A purple plastic sheet was spread out on the grass, and a two-tiered cake was filled with candles that swayed in the wind.Several plates of exquisite dishes exude an attractive aroma.A large bouquet of flowers is placed next to the cake.

"Hey, why did you suddenly come out for a picnic on a whim. Whose birthday is today?" Hu Yibing looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"Fool, today is your birthday!" Lin Qingquan sent the big bunch of flowers to Hu Yibing.

"Happy birthday!" Hu Xueying hugged Hu Yibing's neck and kissed resoundingly on the left cheek.

"You, you!" Hu Yibing was moved for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

"Happy birthday, Ice Cube!" Lin Qingquan also kissed Hu Yibing lightly on the right cheek.

"Come on, let's blow out the candles!" Lin Qingquan pulled Hu Yibing to sit down.

"Make a wish." Hu Yibing folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes.Thank you Qingquan, I hope you will accompany me to spend every birthday in the future.Hu Yibing said silently in his heart.

Hu Yibing took a deep breath, and was about to blow out the candles, but Hu Xueying stopped him: "Wait a minute, I still have something to say."

Hu Xueying looked at Hu Yibing in the candlelight, at the wrinkles on his forehead and the thinning white hair on his temples.She never noticed that the person who was always with her had become a little old at some point.Father Lin is right, there are no children who will not grow up, and there are no parents who will not grow old.

"Father, I was not good enough to make you angry all the time. I want to say sorry to you. From now on, I will be a good girl and honor you well so that you will be as happy every day as you are today." Hu Xueying said solemnly.

However, although Hu Yibing was very moved, he felt funny when he saw Hu Xueying's appearance. This child had never been in good shape, and suddenly he was so serious, how awkward it was.

Hu Yibing still couldn't hold it back, clutching his stomach and laughing loudly: "Haha, girl, haha, don't be so sensational. Why do I look so happy?"

"You, I hate it. People have prepared the words for so long, and you are not moved to tears." Hu Xueying scooped out a piece of cake cream and spread it on Hu Yibing's face.

"Hey, my cake, I haven't blown out the candles yet." The three rushed to blow out the candles together.

"Ice Cube, let me sing you a song." Lin Qingquan cleared his throat and sang "Our Life Is Full of Sunshine".The singing is clear and mellow, bringing Lin Qingquan and Hu Yibing back to their youthful days.

"Okay, I'll sing the old songs, and I'll come too." Hu Yibing also became interested, and sang an impassioned "Toast Song".

The two sang one after another the old songs that had accompanied them in their youth.

"Hmph, there is really a generation gap between you two." Hu Yibing gave the two guys who were immersed in the past years a blank look, and ran to the grass by the water alone to catch fireflies with Mendun.

The singing stopped, the wine in the cup was exhausted, both Lin Qingquan and Hu Yibing were a little tipsy.

"Qingquan, thank you." Hu Yibing put his arms around Lin Qingquan's shoulder.

"Don't be polite to me, as long as you are happy." Lin Qingquan pressed his face against Hu Yibing's.

The starlight in the sky is so bright, looking at the people who are clinging to each other across the world of mortals.The breeze wrinkled the water waves, shaking a little bit of starlight.The two snuggled together silently, holding hands tightly, letting the night wind mess up their hair and let their hearts flutter with the night wind.How I wish that time would stop at this moment, that the people around me would always be with me, so that I would never wake up from being drunk in each other's tenderness.

The starlight of that night, the light of water that night, and the people who accompanied me that night will all be warm touches in my memory from now on.
