〖short story〗

This day is Li Zhuxue's birthday, and it is also the hottest time of the year. Whether it is around the old house or even the whole village, the whole world seems to be occupied by the sound of cicadas.

But the flower seeds in the yard didn't make any sound, Luo Xiaomei reasoned that the weather was too hot, and the flower seeds were too scared to come out.

Li Zhuxue could barely believe her nonsense.

Early in the morning, Luo Xiaomei woke up. She thought that Li Zhuxue hadn't been around for so many birthdays, so she must make a big one this time.

So when Li Zhuxue got up, he only saw steaming white rice porridge and radish kimchi on the dining table, but no one was found after walking around, so Li Zhuxue could only sit at the table and drink the porridge alone in a sense of loss.

Luo Xiaomei made radish and kimchi. She likes to study those old people's crafts. She watched them make them and followed them to learn. So after coming to Li Zhuxue's place, Luo Xiaomei gave Li Zhuxue all the things she knew. Do it over and over, even if some things are obviously restrained.

For example, rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, croquettes, egg dumplings, and sun-dried salted fish for the Spring Festival.

Li Zhuxue likes these things very much. Even if Luo Xiaomei has gone to work, these things can still be eaten. It is a good dish if you cook them casually.

Even if there is a lot of time to squander now, Li Zhuxue's first reaction is still to choose the most time-saving way of life.

She didn't know what to spend a lot of time on. Sometimes she was in a daze, and sometimes she wondered what the tone of the email from Party A would be if Party A said it herself.

Luo Xiaomei is different, she always seems to feel that there is not enough time, and she has only come here for more than ten days, Luo Xiaomei has listed 100 things that must be done.

One by one, step by step, just like a teacher with children.

Luo Xiaomei didn't come back all day, and Li Zhuxue's heart, which had long been used to loneliness, suddenly became lonely.

Taking advantage of Luo Xiaomei's absence, Li Zhuxue replanted new flowers.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, before the sun set, Li Zhuxue, who could not wait for anyone, closed the door and lay down on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She got up and took out the photos of grandma and grandpa in the corner of the cabinet, and helped them Wipe the dust and keep it shiny before putting them back again.

Sometimes she was afraid of them, and sometimes she missed them.

After wiping the photos, Li Zhuxue lay back and counted the dumplings with her eyes open.

She opened it until she heard footsteps outside the door, she got up in surprise and ran to the door quickly, but heard many messy footsteps, she stopped the thought of opening the door.

Luo Xiaomei knocked on her door, her voice was full of worry: "Da Xue'er, are you asleep? It's so early? Are you feeling unwell?"

Through a door, Li Zhuxue shook his head, and replied angrily: "No, I'm working."

Luo Xiaomei knew about Li Zhuxue's work, she immediately felt relieved, regained her cheerful expression, and shouted happily: "Da Xueer, Da Xueer, come out quickly, there will be a surprise!"

It was only then that Li Zhuxue remembered that today was her birthday, and there was a reason for Luo Xiaomei's disappearance all day, Li Zhuxue felt a little more relaxed.

Opening the door, the happy birthday song suddenly sounded, the lights outside were not lit, Luo Xiaomei was holding a cake with a candle in the middle, and there were seven or eight figures behind her, all holding a candle.

They sang happy birthday with a happy voice.

But from Li Zhuxue's perspective, it was scary.The light rod is on the chin, and the whole face is dark and dark, which is a common trick in ghost movies.

Li Zhuxue stepped forward and said thank you happily, even though she still hasn't figured out who these people are.

"Da Xue'er, make a wish." Luo Xiaomei stopped Li Zhuxue from blowing out the candles.

Li Zhuxue had no choice but to close her eyes and think about her wish, but her mind went blank. She closed her eyes for a few seconds. After thinking about it, she opened her eyes and blew out the candles, and the crowd cheered at the right time.

Very enthusiastic.
