A few days later, Guo Xiaohu's birthday.
Xia Ye deliberately took a day to send Tang Jinyu there. When he arrived, he found that the KFCs on the upper and lower floors were all reserved, there were children upstairs and downstairs, and two cars were parked outside the door, one was for takeaway from the pizza shop, the other One is a minibus to pick up and drop off children. Obviously, Guo Xiaohu's family has also made full preparations and arranged it properly.
Xia Ye opened the door and let the children in first, and looked up at the place by the way. There were also a few adults sitting downstairs, who seemed to be with the children, but not many.
The service staff in KFC are all wearing birthday hats with friendly smiles. They have been helping the children with food and drinks, and they are responsive to their needs.
Upstairs, some children ran down, wearing crown hats, and when they saw them, they waved and shouted, "Tang Jinyu, here! Here! Just wait for you to come and cut the cake!"
After shouting this, Xia Ye thought for a moment that it was his brother's birthday.
The stairs were a little steep, Xia Ye glanced at it, raised his hand and hooked the child's waist to carry him up, and waited until the last few steps before letting him walk by himself, protecting his face in front of his classmates.
Guo Xiaohu ran over and happily circled around him, but this time he was smart enough to not dare to hold hands. He raised his head and asked Xia Ye, "Brother, can you let Xiaoyu eat cake with us?"
Xia Ye nodded and sat down in the corner by the window. KFC's table and chairs were a little short, and he could see his brother when he sat there, which was convenient.
After a while, the Han Yichen brothers and sisters also came, Han Yichen swept around, saw Xia Ye, went over and sat at a table with him, holding his chin to see his sister.
Xia Ye was busy with his own business.
Han Yichen glanced at him, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "You can really do it. You come here with a schedule book. You can really work anywhere."
Xia Ye quickly recorded in a small notebook without raising his head: "It's alright, work starts in a few days, and Lao Song will come to find him."
When Han Yichen heard it, his scalp went numb, "Don't mention it, the whole text message Lao Song sent me during Chinese New Year was encouraging me to work hard in the company this year. Do you think he was implying something to me?"
"what?"
"I think Lao Song wants me to work overtime."
Xia Ye laughed, Song Yi probably eagerly hoped that all of them would work overtime.
On the other side, Han Yixing ran over, sent a greeting card first, and said generously: "Guo Xiaohu, I wish you a happy birthday!"
The little birthday star received a lot of gifts, all of which were piled on the long table. He took Han Yixing's greeting card and looked at Tang Jinyu expectantly.
Tang Jinyu also sent him a greeting card, which contained the subscription number of "Primary School Composition" for the first half of the year, and Han Yixing sent it for the second half of the year, and the two of them fit together just fine.
Guo Xiaohu scratched his head, his little face wrinkled when he received the gift, but he still placed it on the top of the table and thanked them earnestly.
Han Yixing said, "You have to study hard, work hard to improve your composition scores, and you can't hold back the class any more, you know?"
Guo Xiaohu: "…"
Guo Xiaohu blushed and argued, "I'm good at math! I'm just a little bit worse in Chinese!"
"That doesn't work either, our class must be the first, almost not at all!"
The little girl is very serious. She has been the monitor since kindergarten. As long as the class where she is the monitor has always been the leader, the collective sense of honor can be said to be particularly strong.
Guo Xiaohu still wanted to refute, but when she heard that she and Tang Jinyu were going to make up her own composition, she turned off the fire again and said angrily, "That's fine."
Guo Xiaohu cut the birthday cake, which is a three-layer cake with fruit cream, enough for all the children who came to eat together.
He specially cut the largest piece with strawberries for Tang Jinyu, but Tang Jinyu couldn't eat it, so he gave most of it to Ji Yuanjie next to him.
Guo Xiaohu took special care of him and asked, "What do you want to eat, everything is here!"
Tang Jinyu sat on the high stool, shook her feet, glanced left and right and asked in a low voice, "Is there any Coke?"
"Yes, I have!"
"I want a small glass, and then add a little ice..."
Han Yixing coughed heavily and alerted him.
On the opposite side, Guo Xiaohu, who was waiting for the order, also slowly raised his eyes and looked up at Tang Jinyu's back, blinking his eyes.
Tang Jinyu immediately changed her tune and said, "I want hot milk without sugar."
Guo Xiaohu asked again, and this time he still got a positive answer, so he went to get the hot milk in confusion.
Xia Ye stood behind the child, picked him up and said, "Go over there, I'll watch you eat."
The kids eat fast food, and the whole restaurant has a cheerful atmosphere.
Han Yichen happily lined up to get a portion while talking about what was delicious, and ate fried chicken burgers with a few children.
Xia Ye took Tang Jinyu to wash his hands. When he came back, he saw a lot of food on the table. Xia Ye frowned and asked him, "What did you order?"
Han Yichen was also stunned, "No, I just ordered three children's packages!"
"Why do they just eat you three servings?"
"I'm hungry too!"
"… "
On the table, these are far more than the weight of the three children's set menus, and there are still things being delivered one after another. Basically, everything in the store is here.
Guo Xiaohu secretly looked at their small table, and immediately turned his head when he saw Xia Ye raised his head.
Han Yixing was still the closest to her brother. After playing around, he sat down to eat with him. The little girl drank hot cocoa, and Tang Jinyu drank a cup of hot milk. Compared with the amount of food, the two were about the same.
Han Yixing nibbled at the hamburger and said, "I knew I wouldn't eat 'Little Hero' noodles at home, I want to eat the hamburger, but I got the last little lion card, I can exchange it for a piggy bank!"
Han Yichen finished eating a kid's hamburger in two bites. He didn't do anything else this winter vacation. He helped his sister eat crispy noodles. The little girl had to draw a card, and the rest of the noodles couldn't be wasted. The brothers and sisters were dying.
After Han Yichen finished eating the hamburger in hand, he said to Xia Ye, "I have something to do. You can help me watch my sister, and I will be back soon."
Xia Ye nodded in agreement, handed a tissue to Tang Jinyu, and asked him to wipe the milk stains on his mouth.
The staff in the store brought other children to sing a happy birthday song to the little birthday star. Guo Xiaohu stood at the front, his face flushed with excitement, and habitually raised his hand and said, "I will sing a song for everyone too!"
Guo Xiaohu stood on the stage and began to sing children's songs, which could only be a little tuneful, and the rest depended on his voice: "It's raining heavily, Beijing is calling and asking me to join the army, I haven't grown up yet—"
"The sun shines in the sky, the flower smiles at me, and the bird says early morning, why are you carrying a small schoolbag!!"
"You are electricity! You are light! You are the only myth! I only love you oil!
…
The little birthday star is very expressive, and the family does seem to be rich. There is a special person watching the video next to the singing. It's like a little star meeting, and the atmosphere is very warm.
Guo's mother was wearing a mink coat, and invited a photographer to take pictures of her son. She took the lead in applauding. She was very chubby and kind. She kept asking the children if they had enough to eat.
Ji Yuanjie brought a box of egg tarts and shared it with Tang Jinyu. The two sat there talking, Ji Yuanjie looked envious and said, "Guo Xiaohu's mother is doing well."
Xia Ye squeezed Tang Jinyu's hand and ate a small bite of the egg tart. He only let him nibble on the outer meringue. He heard the question, "What's the best way?"
Ji Yuanjie was a little afraid of him, so he asked and said, "Guo Xiaohu didn't do well in the exam, and his mother doesn't blame him. Last time there was a sports meeting in school, Guo's mother brought drinks and snacks to everyone in our class. It's also the car his family was looking for..."
Xia Ye listened while supervising his brother's eating.
Ji Yuanjie hesitated for a while when he heard the phrase "I will never stop you if you want to eat", but didn't dare to say it.
Xia Ye asked, "That's all?"
Ji Yuanjie nodded honestly.
Xia Ye felt that it was nothing more than that, and he could do it too.
Soon Han Yichen came back, Ji Yuanjie was even more frightened when he saw him, Han Yichen waved his hand, the little guy immediately ran away with the egg tart box, ran back halfway, put the box of egg tarts by the little girl's hand, and whispered: " Star, you eat!"
Han Yichen raised his eyebrows, the little boy ran so fast, he didn't dare to turn his head back.
Xia Ye said: "Why are you scaring him, that kid is quite honest."
Xingxing was also dissatisfied: "That's right, brother, don't scare Xiaoyu's tablemate!"
Han Yichen waved his hand and sent the little girl and Tang Jinyu to get the fries while he sat next to Xia Ye and whispered, "I've found out, this Guo Xiaohu's family is quite rich, and his father has just made a fortune in the past two years, making mud sand. In the earthwork business, the housing market has been rising in the past two years. Their family has made a lot of money. Half of the building materials business in our city is done by his family. Guo Xiaohu’s father is busy with business, and his mother manages the accounts at home. In addition, Mrs. Guo’s subordinates also There is a lumber factory, and it is very profitable." Han Yichen raised his chin and motioned Xia Ye to look at the wealthy Mrs. Guo over there, "The Guo family is such an only son, he is very generous to Guo Xiaohu, basically Give what you want."
Xia Ye listened to more than whether it was okay or not, it had nothing to do with him.
Han Yichen said in a low voice, "Guo Xiaohu's birthday party was originally planned to be held in the best hotel in the city. Do you know why you suddenly changed your mind and came here for fast food?"
Xia Ye raised his head and said, "He likes to eat this?"
Han Yichen shook his head, raised a finger and said in a deep voice, "Because of a word from Xingxing."
"What?"
"Xingxing said he wanted to drink an ice Coke."
"… "
Xia Ye felt that this was not like what Han Yichen's sister said, but a bit like what his brother said.
Han Yichen is just such a younger sister, she is very vigilant, she can inquire about everything after a while, and even knows where Guo Xiaohu's family lives. When Tang Jinyu and the other two came back with the fries, Han Yichen turned on staring mode, but he didn't take his eyes off his sister. Xia Ye just thought it was a little strange, but didn't think much about it. When Tang Jinyu came back, he reached out and touched his head. , The child misunderstood, raised his head and opened his mouth to let him check, and showed him a small look waiting for praise after reading Little White Fang.
"Brother, I didn't eat french fries, not even one!"
Xia Ye pinched the tip of his nose and said with a smile, "Very good, go back and reward you."
"Can I eat two crabapples?"
"Can."
Xia Ye was soothed by the little guy's words, and there was a smile on his lips.
Han Yichen looked envious and wanted to exchange with him, but he turned his head to look at the little girl's bulging face eating fries, and felt that her sister was not bad, she was like a little squirrel, chatting, eating and eating. Play, especially flattering in a little pink lace sweater.
Han Yichen coughed and asked her, "Xingxing, how are you and Guo Xiaohu?"
"Not good!" The little girl complained on the spot, "He even competed with me for the squad leader last time, and he voted for himself!"
"… "
"Then why did you come to his birthday party?"
The little girl was particularly reluctant, "Because Xiaoyu is good to him, I will accompany Xiaoyu when he goes."
Han Yichen didn't understand, but his sister explained it to him. To put it bluntly, Guo Xiaohu's relationships at school were quite normal, and he only played with a few skinny little boys. , a group of children followed Hula La to the birthday party.
This time it was Xia Ye's turn to look at his children, "You and Guo Xiaohu have a good relationship?"
Tang Jinyu nodded and said with a smile, "Okay!"
Xia Ye still wanted to ask, but the little girl beside him whispered: "Brother Xia, don't ask, whoever you ask, Xiao Yu said yes! The classmates in our class played well with him, and everyone wanted to sit with him. Table, because of this, Xiaoji was bullied last time, and the textbook was painted with colored pencils."
Ji Yuanjie has always been at the same table with Tang Jinyu, and his grades have been improved linearly. Some parents are superstitious that being next to good students can improve their grades, and try to get their children to sit in the front row and enter the circle of "good students".
In fact, Tang Jinyu sits in the front row only because he is short and has no special circle.
Han Yichen frowned and said, "How come there are bullies in your elementary school, have you told the teacher?"
Xingxing shook his head, biting the fries while eating: "No, I don't know who made it, but after Xiaoyu and Ji Yuanjie changed their textbooks, no one will doodle and bully Xiaoji again."
Xia Ye didn't say anything, but his face was not very good-looking.
After the birthday party was over, on the way back, the two brothers seriously discussed with the children how to deal with violence in the school. They summed up nothing more than a few points. Tell the teacher, tell the parents, and don't show weakness.
"If there is a boy who pushes you, you hit him. If you can't beat you, you will slap your ears. Anyway, we can't lose in terms of momentum. We don't bully people, and we can't be bullied!" Han Yichen put away his smile for the first time and said seriously: " Xingxing, you are a girl, you are very strong now, but when you go to junior high school, high school, and college, your physical strength is not as good as the other boys around you. React with the family, your brother will always be your backing, you know?"
The little girl nodded.
Xia Ye tapped the steering wheel with his fingers while waiting for the gap between the red street lights, and swayed back and forth between signing up to learn self-defense techniques and hiring a life secretary to follow the child.
When he got home, Xia Ye sent Tang Jinyu to the front yard. After seeing Chen Suling's car, he was in a trance. It seemed that he didn't need a life secretary. Aunt Chen was always more careful than anyone else, and stared very closely, because he was too nervous.
Thinking of school, Xia Ye remembered several school district houses in the Shanghai stock market by the way. He was busy during the New Year's Eve and never had time to talk about it. He just had time today, so he stayed and planned to talk to Chen Suling.
