Early the next morning, Si Niannian felt the blessings from her whole family.
"Happy birthday, sister."
Si Muen stood guard at Si Niannian's door early, and when she came out, he gave her her first good morning kiss of the day.
Next came Si Xiyou, who had rarely appeared at home in the past few months.
"Niannian, happy birthday."
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, brother."
Si Niannian smiled and held their arms, and the three of them went downstairs together.
Mrs. Si personally prepared breakfast and boiled red eggs for Si Niannian.
"Niannian, happy birthday."
Mr. Si and Mr. Bu also walked back from outside, carrying the fish they had caught early in the morning.
"Niannian, happy birthday."
Si Niannian smiled and ran over and kissed everyone on the face.
"Thank you grandpa, thank you grandma, thank you grandpa Bu."
Si Xinghe leaned on the handrail of the stairs and chuckled, "Little princess, have you forgotten someone?"
Si Niannian pouted, "Uncle Third, did you forget to say something?"
Si Xinghe smiled, walked downstairs quickly, and kissed Si Niannian on the forehead, "Happy eighteenth birthday, my little princess."
Bo!
"Thank you, uncle."
"Okay, come and eat." Mrs. Si came out with a bowl of longevity noodles.
Just like every year before, Mrs. Si cooked the longevity noodles for Si Niannian’s birthday herself.
Everyone else walked to the dining table, but Si Niannian ran upstairs.
"Grandma, wait for me."
"Nian Nian, you're eating longevity noodles, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Si looked puzzled.
Si Muen curled his lips, "What else can you do? Use the key to open the easter egg. Was it like this every year before?"
Si Niannian walked down with a box in his arms, placed it on the dining table, and opened it excitedly. However, when he saw the contents inside, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
"Not the key?"
Si Muen and Si Xinghe also poked their heads over.
"It's not a key? It can't be?"
Si Muen couldn't believe it, "Didn't you receive keys every year before? Could it be that someone gave them to you?"
There was only a fox mask in the box, lying there alone.
Si Niannian liked it very much. Normally, she would definitely pick it up and put it on immediately, but now, she felt very disappointed.
"How can I open the Easter egg without the key?"
She took out the Faberge egg from the space. Every birthday in the past five years, she would use the key she received to open one floor. Now only the last floor is left, but there is no key.
"Xiao Niannian, don't be sad. Maybe the key to that brat is on the way, and you will receive it later." Mr. Bu quickly comforted him.
Mrs. Si nodded, "Yes, today has just begun. As long as the key arrives within today, it will not be considered late."
An Luo couldn't see it and didn't know how dazzling the easter egg looked, but she also didn't want Si Niannian to be sad.
She held Si Niannian's hand and said, "Niannian, you eat noodles first, and then we go out. I just want to show you the gift I gave you alone."
"Yeah." Si Niannian nodded.
Then, since An Luo couldn't see it, he took out his cell phone and sent Guan Bao a message.
[Do not forget our agreement.]
When Guan Bao received this message, he was having breakfast and his cell phone was placed on the table. It happened to be looked at by Lu Wanqin who got up and passed by.
"Son, who sent you this message? It couldn't be Su Muchiao again, right?"
