June 14th, Saturday. It happened to be Chang Qinghua's birthday.

Since Xu Yaping married An Dafu, she has celebrated Chang Qinghua's birthday every year for more than ten years.

At first, she just made a bowl of longevity noodles for Chang Qinghua alone.

Over time, the mother and son gradually gained a foothold in An’s house, and Xu Yaping would make some delicious food on this day.

Whether it is the longevity noodles that were originally from or the big fish and meat in recent years, Xu Yaping has specially celebrated her son's birthday, so that An Dafu and even the three children of An's family can remember Chang Qinghua's birthday.

Xu Yaping's behavior, in the words of later generations, is a sense of ritual.

And sometimes, ritual is really very important.

Just like Xu Yaping, she used a simple birthday to invisibly improve Chang Qinghua's status in Anjia and successfully stimulated the three brothers and sisters of the Anjia.

Because men often don’t care about birthdays.

If you get into a scumbag like An Dafu, haha, let alone celebrating his three children's birthday, it would be great if he could remember which day the children's birthday was!

This also creates a strong contrast-

On the one hand, Chang Qinghua was just a slap in his oil bottle. Every year on his birthday, his family would cook for him alone. An Dafu, the stepfather, also expressed his feelings to Chang Qinghua under the influence of Xu Yaping.

On the other hand, An Jianguo, An Jianfang and An Jianjun remembered their birthdays in their hearts and were eagerly waiting for their father to celebrate them. As a result, their father actually forgot!

Not to mention that it was grander than Chang Qinghua's birthday, even Chang Qinghua's treatment was not as good as Chang Qinghua's treatment.

My dad has forgotten it, so I can't count on other people's stepmothers.

Fortunately, they still have a pair of grandparents who love them, who clearly remember their birthdays and give them red envelopes on this day. Otherwise, because of this alone, the three brothers and sisters of the An family would probably be "black"!

Chang Qinghua celebrated his birthday at An’s house, which has become a habit, or tradition.

Xu Yaping started preparing two days in advance, buying chicken, making ribs and ordering cakes. She was busy all the time, silently reminding An Dafu: Lao An, our Qinghua is about to celebrate his birthday again.

Anne looked at these coldly, but her face was filled with a loving smile.

Alas, this woman is definitely a loving mother to Chang Qinghua.

But not only did not give normal warmth to An Jianguo, but instead made various plans.

"In a blink of an eye, our Qinghua is eighteen years old."

Xu Yaping didn't know that her husband had already changed. On the 14th, she got up early in the morning to work.

In order to remind her wife not to delay coming back for lunch because of teaching An Jianguo, she also said something specifically.

"Yes, I'm eighteen years old, I'm an adult."

Annie also sighed a little, "I remember when you first brought Qinghua to our house, he was only one year old and was less than the height of the dining table. Now, he has become a big guy."

"Eighteen years old is a meaningful year. This year, we must celebrate our birthday with our children!"

When Xu Yaping heard Annie say this, she knew that her purpose had been achieved and nodded in satisfaction.

As a result, Annie said again, "Since that's the case, let Jianguo and the others come back for dinner at noon. Although Jianguo and the others have no blood relationship with Qinghua, they are all my children. They grew up together and should be brothers and sisters, and they should love each other even more."

Xu Yaping's smile was slightly cold.

In the past, Xu Yaping liked to deliberately hold her son's "birthday party" in front of the three siblings of An Jianguo, because she knew that such a strong contrast would make the children feel extremely unwilling and resentful.

It is conducive to splitting the relationship between An Jianguo and An Dafu.

But now, she has successfully driven An Jianguo and the others out, and she really doesn't want to see them come back and get annoyed.

Today, she spent a lot of private money on her son’s birthday.

A large table of chicken, duck, fish, and birthday cakes are all good things.

Xu Yaping really doesn't want to get the kids from An's family.

Moreover, these three people, especially An Jianfang, were all naughty children with straight and tough tempers, and they would have a disagreement.

Today is her son's good day, and she also has important things. She doesn't want to be destroyed by An Jianguo and others!

However, An Dafu has always been a word in An's family, and Xu Yaping's character is an understanding and reasonable wife and mother.

An Dafu's words are reasonable. If Xu Yaping refuses to agree, it would seem that she has a problem.

But Xu Yaping really didn't want it. She smiled and said uneasyly, "Lao An, you are right. Although Qinghua and Jianguo are not brothers of their relatives, they grew up under the same roof."

"It's me, I also want to see them fall in love."

"It's a pity that no matter how well we think, we can't resist the children's displeasure. Alas, it's all my fault. My mother is not doing well enough. Jianguo and others don't like me, and they don't even like Qinghua."

"Just three years ago... Oh, when I thought that Jianguo would actually get croton secretly in Qinghua's meal, I felt uncomfortable. The palms and backs of my hands were all flesh, and both were my children. I, I really—"

In order not to let An Jianguo and the other two come back, Xu Yaping deliberately mentioned that Chang Qinghua was almost "poisoned" three years ago when he was in the middle school entrance examination.

Although Croton is not a poison, it will cause diarrhea after taking this thing.

When you are in the middle of the exam, you will suddenly run to have diarrhea, which will definitely affect the candidate's grades.

Although An Jianguo swears that he is not himself, he is not just An Dafu, but his neighbors around him, and he also thinks he is the most suspicious.

An Jianguo is four years older than Chang Qinghua. From childhood to adulthood, he is often compared with Chang Qinghua.

It is not as smart as Chang Qinghua, not as good as Chang Qinghua, not as good as Chang Qinghua, not as sensible as Chang Qinghua, not as filial as Chang Qinghua... An Jianguo has listened to this for more than ten years.

When everyone is gossiping, they don’t think so, but afterwards, they will definitely feel dissatisfied if they are compared with themselves and are compared like this all day.

Maybe I will hold a grudge against Chang Qinghua.

An Jianguo was young and energetic at that time. Under the rebellious mentality, he was impulsive and probably did something wrong - OK, you are not claiming to be good at studying and smart, so I will make you fail the high school entrance examination!

Humph, if I can’t get into high school, you can’t even think about it!

In this way, An Jianguo was convicted and convicted of being narrow-minded and framed his brothers.

In addition, he refused to plead guilty and had a stumble with his father because of this. In the end, he even ran away from home with his younger brother and sister, which became increasingly criticized.

At that time, Xu Yaping was very generous and said in public: The child was still young and did something wrong for a moment, and it was not easy for an elder to bother with him.
