Chapter 303 21st Birthday
Xiao Dong was so depressed that he couldn't sleep all night. Liu Ying kept calling and texting him. Finally, he was so annoyed that he simply turned off his phone.
He thought he had met true love the first time he dated, but he didn't expect that the other person just treated him as a fool who was easy to be deceived.
For the first time, Xiao Dong felt that he really had to listen to the advice of the elderly on some matters. After his mother met Liu Ying, she went home and said that this girl was not good enough.
But how could Xiao Dong listen to him at that time? He thought Liu Ying was fashionable and different from the girls in their village.
Now it seems that I am the one who has no vision. Thinking that I gave my first time to such a woman, Xiao Dong is even more depressed...
In the morning, Zhao Qishui came over and took a look at the gauze on Xiao Dong's head. He sneered and said, "Did someone cut open your head?"
Xiao Dong stammered, covering his head: "No, I got drunk yesterday and bumped into it."
"The impact was too light. Why didn't it knock your brains out? Your brain is useless anyway."
“Master…” Xiao Dong felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry, and when he held his breath he actually squeezed out two tears.
Zhao Qishui wanted to kick him twice and threw the house key to him: "Go home and stay here. Don't be an eyesore here."
Xiao Dong picked up the key and walked away dejectedly.
He didn't go to his master's house first, but went to the jewelry store where he bought the necklace to return it.
In the end, they refused to refund him, saying that it couldn't be refunded as there was no quality issue. No matter how much Xiao Dong tried to persuade him, even getting angry was useless.
Security has been called, and if he continues to make trouble , we may have to call the police.
Xiao Dong could only return to his master's house with the necklace in his hand and his head down.
He Shu was discussing facial recognition technology with Professor Zhang online at home. Professor Zhang listened to He Shu's ideas and gave him a lot of guidance.
He Shu also learned from the professor that there was actually a team in China that was working on this project, which surprised He Shu.
It’s a pity that the project is not from the school, and He Shu is not yet capable of participating in it.
However, Professor Zhang appreciated He Shu's inquisitiveness and experimental spirit, and allowed He Shu to complete this as his summer homework.
After nearly two hours of video chatting with the professor and discussing countless topics, He Shu came out of the room rubbing his eyes, only to find that Brother Xiao Dong was at home.
He lay on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, obviously still not over the blow of the breakup.
"Brother Xiao Dong, when did you come?"
"Oh, I just arrived, and I heard you were busy so I didn't go in to call you."
He Shu nodded and looked at the time: "It's getting late, I'll cook and we'll eat, what do you want to eat, Xiao Dong?"
"casual."
“……” He Shu scratched his head and turned to go to the kitchen.
I looked around and saw that there wasn't much food at home, so I changed my clothes and prepared to go downstairs to buy some.
"Brother Xiao Dong, I'm going downstairs to buy some food. Do you want to come with me? I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."
Xiao Dong shook his head: "I don't want to go."
Seeing Xiao Dong's state, He Shu really wanted to laugh: "Okay, let's have noodles with soybean paste for lunch. I'll go buy some cucumbers."
After going downstairs, He Shu wandered around the small market near the community and bought some cucumbers and coriander.
I also bought a piece of braised beef in soy sauce for Brother Dong, which is his favorite.
After returning home, Brother Dong was still lying on the sofa. He Shu did not disturb him. He went to the kitchen, took out some flour, and made some hand-rolled noodles.
While the water is boiling, wash the cucumber and cut it into thin strips. After the noodles are cooked, start beating the eggs and making scrambled egg sauce.
The aroma of egg sauce wafted out and brought the sad Xiaodong over.
He leaned against the kitchen door and watched He Shu scooping up noodles, and hurriedly helped to serve them.
Seeing He Shu buy braised beef again, Xiao Dong didn’t seem to be so sad anymore…
The two of them were eating noodles with soybean paste and beef with soybean paste when Xiao Dong finally talked about the necklace.
"They refused to refund me, so I took it to a pawnshop and they only gave me 2,000 yuan. I spent more than 5,000 yuan on it. What should I do?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Dong really wanted to slap himself.
"It's okay, Brother Dong. This kind of necklace is not worth keeping. It's mainly because it looks good. You won't get any money from it at a pawn shop. The diamonds on it are worthless."
He Shu swallowed a big mouthful of noodles and said, "Just put it aside for now. When you meet a good girl in the future, you can give it to her."
Xiao Dong looked at the necklace on the table and there was nothing else he could do.
He sighed and told He Shu about Liu Ying's call to him last night.
Now Xiao Dong would rather talk to He Shu about anything. Although He Shu is younger than him, he is smarter than him.
Moreover, He Shu would not beat him like his master, but would also give him advice.
After hearing this, He Shu was speechless and unbelievable. Fortunately, Brother Xiao Dong did not really go to pick her up. If that were the case, He Shu would feel that Xiao Dong was hopeless.
"Brother Dong, every failure is a learning experience, and that's not a bad thing."
Xiao Dong was very pleased to hear He Shu's consolation. He felt much better and even ate two large bowls of noodles with soybean sauce and half a plate of beef.
After finishing the meal, He Shu asked Xiao Dong to go to the house to take a nap. Xiao Dong shook his head and said, "I'd better go back to the store. I'm afraid Master will be too busy."
"That's fine."
After Xiao Dong went out, He Shu cleaned up the dining table and the kitchen, then returned to the room to look at the computer for a while.
Xia Miao went to her grandparents' house again. She was very busy during this holiday, so the two of them could only send messages and make phone calls occasionally.
However, Xia Miao would send a lot of photos to He Shu, whether it was food or scenery, she would always take photos for him to see.
It also gave He Shu a lot of insights.
In the next few days, He Shu studied facial recognition technology at home. When he was tired, he went to the car dealership for a while.
The holiday passed quickly and soon it was He Shu's birthday.
That day, his aunt sent him a message early in the morning, saying that she had bought him a birthday present and would give it to him when he returned to Dadu.
His aunt also sent him a message, wishing him a happy birthday and reminding He Shu to eat boiled eggs in the morning and to roll them before eating.
He Shu was confused for a moment. Should he leave or should the egg leave?
Fortunately, his godfather understood and rolled a hot egg over He Shu's body a few times, saying that it would drive away all the bad luck and only good luck would remain in the future.
Seeing his godfather's serious look, He Shu was a little moved. Although he thought this matter was a bit far-fetched, the blessings from his aunt and godfather were real.
In the evening, as usual, He Shu celebrated his birthday in a small restaurant next to his godfather's car dealership.
After the cake was placed on the table, the proprietress also gave a bowl of longevity noodles as usual.
Light the candles, blow out the candles, but as usual there is no wishing part. As he gets older, there are more and more candles on the cake.
If you don't blow it out quickly, it's easy for the wax to drip onto the cake...
Birthdays after living with his godfather are always so simple, but they have become the days that He Shu looks forward to every year.
Looking at Brother Dong's devout look in front of the cream cake, almost drooling, and watching his godfather and Aunt Liu cut the biggest piece for him.
Also, on the phone, He Shu couldn't help but smile as he listened to the birthday song audio clip sent by Xia Miao.
At the age of 21, He Shu felt very happy at this moment...
