Chapter 71: Birthday Party (1/2)
A few days later, it was Guo Xiaohu's birthday.
Xia Ye deliberately took a day off to send Tang Jinyu there. After waiting, he found that the KFC on the upper and lower floors were all reserved. There were children upstairs and downstairs. There were two cars parked outside. One was a takeaway from a pizzeria, and the other was a minibus to pick up children. Obviously, Guo Xiaohu's family were fully prepared and arranged everything properly.
Xia Ye opened the door and let the little guy inside. He raised his eyes and looked at the place. There were also a few adults sitting downstairs. They seemed to be accompanied by the children, but not many.
The service staff in KFC were all wearing birthday hats with friendly smiles. They have been helping the children eat and drink, and are responsible.
Some children ran down upstairs, wearing a small crown hat, and when they saw them, they waved and shouted: ”Tang Jinyu, here! Here! We waited for you to cut the cake!”
When he shouted this, Xia Ye almost thought for a moment that it was his brother's birthday party.
The stairs were a bit steep. Xia Ye took a look, raised his hand and hooked the little guy’s waist to lift him up, and waited until the last few steps before letting him walk on his own, saving him from having to face his little classmates.
Guo Xiaohu ran over and happily circled him, but this time he was clever and didn't dare to hold his hands. He raised his head and asked Xia Ye: ”Brother, can Xiaoyu go to eat cake with us?”
Xia Ye nodded, and found a corner by the window to sit down. The KFC tables and chairs were a little short, but it was convenient for him to sit there and see his brother when he looked up.
After a while, Han Yichen brothers and sisters also came. Han Yichen swept around, and when he saw Xia Ye, he went to sit at a table with him, holding his chin while looking at his sister.
Xia Ye was busy with his own business.
Han Yichen glanced at him, the corner of his lips twitched, and said, ”You are really good. Coming here with your schedule book. You can really work anywhere.”
Xia Ye quickly recorded down in his small notebook without looking up, ”It's okay, work will start in a few days, and Lao Song is going to look forward to it.”
Han Yichen felt his scalp numb when he heard it, ”Don't mention it, Lao Song sent me a text message during New Year to encourage me to work hard in the company this year, don’t you think he was trying to hint me something?”
”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 openly: ”Guo Xiaohu, happy birthday to you!”
The little birthday star received a lot of gifts, which were all 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 with the subscription number of the ”Primary School Student Composition” from the first half of the year. Han Yixing gave it to him for the second half of the year, which was the perfect combination.
Guo Xiaohu scratched his head, his small face wrinkled when he received the gifts, but he put 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 score, and you can't hold back the class anymore, okay?”
Guo Xiaohu: ”…”
Guo Xiaohu blushed and argued: ”I do well in mathematics! My Chinese is just a little bit bad!”
”That's not okay, our class must be first, and not be behind!”
The little girl was very serious. She has been the class monitor since kindergarten. As long as she is the monitor of the class, she always takes the lead. The collective sense of honor is very strong.
Guo Xiaohu still wanted to refute, but when he heard that she and Tang Jinyu were about to make up the composition for their essays, he declined and said bitterly: ”Let's just do it.”
Guo Xiaohu cut the birthday cake, a three-layered cake with fruit cream, enough for all the children to eat together.
He deliberately cut a piece of the largest strawberry for Tang Jinyu, but Tang Jinyu couldn't eat it, so he shared it with Ji Yuanjie next to him. He took a bite and put it there, waiting to eat something else.
Guo Xiaohu took special care of him and asked: ”What do you want to eat, there is everything here!”
Tang Jinyu sat on the high stool, shook his feet, he glanced left and right, and asked in a low voice, ”Is there a Coke?”
”Yes!”
”I want a small glass, and then add a little bit of ice…”
Han Yixing coughed heavily on the side and alerted him.
Guo Xiaohu, who was waiting for his order on the opposite side, also slowly raised his gaze, looked behind Tang Jinyu's back, and blinked his eyes.
Tang Jinyu immediately changed his words: ”I want warm milk, no sugar.”
Guo Xiaohu asked him again, but he still got the affirmative answer, and went to get hot milk in confusion.
Xia Ye stood behind the child, picked him up and said, ”Go over there, I'll watch you eat.”
The children eat fast food, and the whole restaurant has a jovial atmosphere.
While Han Yichen said what was delicious, he happily queued up to receive a portion, and had a fried chicken burger with a few children.
Xia Ye took Tang Jinyu to wash his hands. After returning, he saw a lot of food on the table. Xia Ye frowned and asked him, ”Did you order?”
Han Yichen was also stunned, ”No, I ordered three children's meals!”
”What are they doing with these three orders?”
”I'm hungry too!”
”…”
The food on the table far exceeds the weight of the three children's set meals, and things are being delivered one after another. Almost the whole menu was ordered.
Guo Xiaohu secretly looked at their little table, and when he saw Xia Ye looked up, he immediately turned his head.
Han Yixing was still the closest to her brother. After playing for a while, she sat down and ate with him. The little girl drank hot cocoa, and Tang Jinyu drank a cup of hot milk, which was about the same as the amount of two meals.
Han Yixing nibbled on her burger and said, ”I knew I would not eat ‘little hero' crispy noodles at home. The burger is delicious, but I got the last little lion card, which can be exchanged for a piggy bank!”
Han Yichen finished his children's hamburger in two bites. He didn't do anything else during winter vacation. He helped his sister eat noodles. The little girl only wanted the cards, but the rest of the noodles should not be wasted.
Han Yichen finished eating the burger on hand, and said to Xia Ye: ”I have something to do, help me watch my sister, I will be back soon.”
Xia Ye nodded in response, and handed Tang Jinyu a tissue to wipe the milk stains from his mouth.
The staff in the store took other children to sing a happy birthday song to the little birthday star. Guo Xiaohu stood in the front, his face flushed with excitement, and he habitually raised his hands and said, ”I will sing a song for everyone too!”
Guo Xiaohu stood on the stage and began to sing nursery rhymes, which could only barely be considered a little tuned, and the rest roared in his voice:
