He raised his head and chest, stared straight ahead and did not dare to wander: "Let me make it clear first that I am not causing trouble for him, it is him..."
"I know." Xu Yin said while holding back a smile, "I have to ask you to cooperate for a while and stay for a piece of birthday cake later."
"..."
Damn it, the appearance fee of his dignified Brother Ming is only worth a piece of broken birthday cake?
No matter what, two yuan is enough!
Jiang Youjin hurried to the address sent by his brother and looked up to see that it was a relatively high-end KTV.
In the past, some classmates in the class group were making appointments to sing or something. They posted photos of this KTV and said that although the cost here is high, the environment, service, and sound quality are not good.
On the night of the graduation dinner, many classmates were still not satisfied. After the dinner, they also said they wanted to come here to sing and play all night long.
He didn't come. It wasn't that he didn't like singing. On the contrary, he liked it quite a lot. Chen Yan even often teased him, saying that his grades in cultural classes were too good, which hindered his development in the entertainment industry.
He simply felt that the cost here was too high and it was not a suitable place for him as a student.
"Brother! Brother, I'm here!" Jiang Zuoyu shouted as he and Ming Ge walked towards the box.
Jiang Youjin frowned and chased after him.
Seeing his younger brother being dragged into a box by Brother Ming, he had no time to think about it and quickly chased after him and opened the box door.
"Xiaoyu——"
"Bang——"
"Happy eighteen!"
"Happybirthday!"
"Surprise!"
The fireworks tube exploded above his head, and glittering colorful strips and sequins fluttered down.
Everyone in the box was smiling brightly and shouting birthday wishes to him.
He knew all of these people, including classmates in the experimental class with whom he had a good relationship, kind-hearted neighbors who watched him grow up, and junior high school teachers who continued to encourage him and care about him after his parents passed away...
And Brother Ming, who was holding him back and pulling him, stood awkwardly in the corner, with someone stuffing a bunch of sunflowers in his hand.
Is there anything else Jiang Youjin doesn’t understand?
He was touched and funny. He met Xu Yin's smiling eyes and asked hoarsely: "Why suddenly..."
"Of course I want a surprise for my birthday!"
Xu Yin said, handing him the carefully prepared flowers, her smiling eyes intertwined with his watery eyes: "Congratulations on coming of age!"
"Come on everyone! Give us our gifts! Then we will sing happy birthday to our birthday girl today! After singing, blow out the candles and share the cake! The red velvet cake made by Xu Yin is so beautiful, it makes me hungry!"
"Not only cakes, the side dishes, braised food, and longevity braised noodles she brought are all very appetizing!"
"I want to try the fruit wine she made herself. It smells so fragrant and intoxicating."
"Then what are you waiting for! Let's start construction! Comrades!"
"I'm singing and singing while eating! Haha..."
…
The next day, sitting on the flight to the capital, Jiang Youjin was still replaying the scene of everyone celebrating his birthday last night in his mind.
There are cakes, candles, gifts, and people singing happy birthday together...
This is the first time such a lively birthday has been celebrated since my parents left.
No, to be precise, it was my first birthday in nearly four years.
In the past few years, in order to save money, he only bought a cake on his brother's birthday, blew out candles with him and ate a piece of cake, even if it was his own birthday.
Over time, even Jiang Zuoyu forgot when his brother's birthday was.
If Xu Yin hadn't planned this birthday party without telling Jiang Youjin, Jiang Zuoyu would still have thought that his brother's birthday was not related to his. How else would the two brothers have their birthdays on the same day?
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Yin noticed that he was distracted and touched him gently with her elbow.
She sat with him, but Jiang Zuoyu sat in the front row chatting with Xu's father and mother. Foodies and cooks met together, and they had endless food topics.
Jiang Youjin turned to look at her, as if there was a sea of stars hidden deep in his eyes: "I haven't thanked you properly for yesterday's arrangement."
"Don't take it to heart. In fact, everyone is just using your birthday party to get together. I don't know when we will have to wait until so many people gather next time."
"Yeah, so thank you."
"you are welcome!"
He looked at her upturned eyelashes with serious eyes: "You celebrate my eighteenth birthday, and I'll celebrate your twentieth!"
Xu Yin looked at him with a smile and snorted: "What? You don't plan to celebrate your nineteenth birthday for me?"
"..."
He tilted his head and smiled: "Yes!"
Not only when she was nineteen or twenty, he would celebrate every birthday for her from now on.
…
According to the itinerary arranged by Jiang Youjin, after the group arrived in the capital, they stayed in a three-star hotel next to Huanong that was the most cost-effective in the surrounding area.
After settling in, Xu Yin and Jiang Youjin took everyone to play in the capital city.
Except for Xu Yin, who had been to the capital more than once in other small worlds, it was the first time for everyone else.
Everything he saw was new and everything he played was fun. Every time he went to a scenic spot, he couldn't miss a group photo. After a few days, the photo album space in Xu Yin's phone was almost full.
After arriving at the hotel in the evening, she uploaded the photos to her computer and saved them.
Jiang Zuoyu saw it and complained: "Sister Yinyin, does your mobile phone have too small memory? Like my brother, you are reluctant to buy expensive ones."
"Only you know better!" Jiang Youjin dragged him to the next door. "It's your turn to wash. Wash it quickly. We have to wash clothes later."
Xu Yin watched the interaction between the two brothers and smiled.
This mobile phone was a coming-of-age gift from Xu's father and mother.
They didn’t know much about the brand of mobile phones. They saw that this brand often appeared in TV commercials. The interface of the mobile phone was beautiful and the price was affordable. It was much more fashionable than the mobile phone for the elderly. So they took the time to buy it during the two days of her college entrance examination and got it the day before her birthday. Come out to give it to her.
However, she doesn't have much need for a mobile phone, as long as she can check information and make contacts. The memory is a bit small, but it doesn't have much impact.
The alma mater made a big splash this year. The principal was so happy that he not only gave Jiang Youjin a big red envelope, but she also got a dark horse scholarship of 30,000 yuan. In addition to inviting her parents to come to the capital to play, she could also buy a laptop. , transfer it to the computer and save it when it is full.
I uploaded most of the photos to my computer, and contacted a local photo printing shop online. I selected some photos that I was satisfied with, packaged them, and sent them over. I left the hotel address, washed them, and sent them to the hotel.
They have to play here for a few days anyway, so they just need to receive it before they leave.
In this way, we visited one or two scenic spots every day. After seven days, we almost visited several famous scenic spots in the capital city. Xu's mother said, "Are you here early? There are still several days before registration."
Xu Yin and Jiang Youjin looked at each other and smiled: "Why are you so anxious? There are still places I haven't taken you to play with!"
They also arranged a three-day trip to the grassland.
Now that I'm here, I hope my family will have fun and eat well.
On the grassland, they experienced horse riding, grass skiing, living in tents, roasting whole sheep around a campfire at night and watching the stars. They appreciated the beauty of the mountains and rivers of the motherland and tasted delicacies that were not available in the small Jianglin County. The group had a fulfilling and enjoyable time. satisfy.
