Chapter 53: Birthday

Views:

After finally returning home, Li Wei was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

But there was nothing to eat at home, so I had to go to my uncle’s house to solve the food problem. When Li Wei put down his schoolbag and was about to call Li Jianbo to go with him, Li Jianbo stopped him and said, "I told my aunt that if you don't go there today, we will take care of the food ourselves."

"But there's nothing at home, what can I eat, let alone it's so late." Besides, Li Wei was really hungry and just wanted to fill her stomach quickly. There was still a pile of homework waiting for her.

"Come in, I'll do a magic trick for you." Li Jianbo let Li Wei enter the room.

Li Wei was wondering in her heart that her second brother was really carefree and coaxed her like a child. Li Jianbo closed the door and turned off the light at the same time.

"Close your eyes and don't peek."

As expected, Li Wei closed her eyes obediently. She wanted to see what tricks Li Jianbo could play. After about two minutes, Li Jianbo said, "You can open your eyes now."

Li Wei opened her eyes and saw a cake in front of her with several candles lit on it. The candlelight danced slightly, and her face was full of surprise: "You really can do magic. Where did you do this?"

Li Jianbo just smiled slightly, and then sang softly: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Li Wei looked through the candlelight and thought to himself that he came back specifically to celebrate his birthday? In fact, it doesn't matter if he can't celebrate his birthday. Running back and forth will delay Li Jianbo's study. Li Wei feels a little sorry.

Li Jianbo reminded Li Wei: "What are you doing standing still? Make a wish and blow out the candles."

"Make a wish?"

"Yes, you can make any wish to it and it will fulfill you."

desire? In the past, Li Wei's biggest wish was to go back to seek revenge on Zhao Qian. After she knew she couldn't go back, her wishes became very small, and they were nothing more than good grades in the exam, the health of her family, etc.

Li Wei closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, looking very pious. She made a small wish and blew out all the candles in one breath. The room was suddenly dark until Li Jianbo turned on the light.

"Here, cut the cake." Li Jianbo gave Li Wei a plastic knife and told Li Wei to cut it himself. Li Wei cut off a piece under his instruction and naturally gave it to Li Jianbo first.

"You came here specially to celebrate my birthday?" Li Wei looked a little flattered.

Li Jianbo shook his head with a gentle smile and said, "It's not too special. I'm going on a long trip tomorrow, so I only went to class for half a day today and came back to get something."

"Oh, oh." Li Jianbo explained this, and Li Wei felt much calmer. She lowered her head and ate the cake. The softness and sweetness of the cake made her a little intoxicated. Sure enough, she still loves desserts the most.

After a while, a large piece of cake was eaten.

Seeing that his sister was eating happily, Li Jianbo pushed all the rest in front of her: "Don't worry, there are more here."

Li Wei smiled shyly, and by the time she finished the cake, Li Jianbo had already gone out. She was busy doing homework, and her heavy studies left her no time to think about anything else.

When Li Wei finished writing an English composition and finishing two test papers, he stood up and stretched out. She walked out of the room and saw Li Jianbo playing with the broken bicycle with a flashlight.

The night wind was chilly, Li Wei walked over and said apologetically: "It's so late, just forget it if it can't be repaired."

"The tire is broken, just change it. I just have it at home. You go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Li Wei couldn't sleep peacefully, so she helped with the flashlight.

"Second brother, you said you were going on a long trip. Where are you going?"

"Going to another province to participate in an important competition."

Li Wei remembered that Li Jianping mentioned this to her during the National Day, and asked hurriedly: "Does it mean that if you get a good ranking, you will get a chance to be admitted to university?"

Li Jianbo helped repair the car seriously and said without raising his head: "Theoretically, this is the case."

Li Wei said sincerely: "That's great. But my second brother will have to go to a very far place to go to college in the future, right?"

"Well, probably."

It was great to have such a brother by her side. If Li Jianbo went to a distant place and didn't come home for a long time, she would not be used to it.

"Is it possible that you are reluctant to let me go?" Li Jianbo said with a joking smile.

"Yeah, I can't bear to part with it."

Li Jianbo turned his head and glanced at Li Wei, and said with a smile: "What a silly girl. One day you will leave this home like me and fly farther away. Weiwei, the world outside is still very peaceful." Kuang Kuang, I hope you can go out and have a good time.”

What is the world outside? When Li Wei was very young, her world was the back house of Shangshu Mansion. When she was older, her world became Zhaoyang Palace, and later became Chongqing Palace. Now her world is a little broader, but she still hasn't finally left the countryside.

Under Li Jianbo's fiddling, the tires have been changed. Li Jianbo found the air gun and refilled it with air. He felt relieved after he tried to see if there was no air leakage.

"This won't delay your schooling tomorrow." Li Jianbo carried the car into the hall and turned around and asked Li Wei: "If you have any other difficulties, tell me and I will solve them for you."

"No, no, nothing happens anymore. Thank you, second brother."

Li Jianbo had already wiped off the water on his hands, came up and touched Li Wei's head with a smile: "I am your brother, you are still polite to me."

"How many days are you leaving?"

"About a week, I can't say for sure. I'll come back to prepare for the final exam again. My eldest brother is looking for a house, and he should have something in mind soon. When he gets it, your semester will be over, and our family will be reunited again. ”

Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

Li Jianbo has never been afraid of competitions. It doesn't matter the ranking. He is also open to it. As for the quota of walk-ons, it depends on God's will. But when something comes over again, he just wants to hold his destiny firmly in his own hands.

Early the next morning, Li Wei was woken up by Li Jianbo. She had not slept alone for a long time and almost missed the time. Li Jianbo has already cooked a bowl of steaming noodles. The brother and sister ate together, Li Jianbo packed a simple backpack and went out with Li Wei.

Li Jianbo rode a bicycle, and Li Wei sat in the back seat until they reached the street. Li Jianbo was waiting for the bus back to the city. Li Wei was about to go to school. Before leaving, the two waved. Li Wei smiled brightly at Li Jianbo and said, "Second brother, you will definitely make your wishes come true!"

Li Jianbo also responded with a smile: "You can too!"

Then the two of them went in different directions.
