Xu Yin looked at the words "we and I" sent by Lu Yunzhou, and chose to keep silent to the end, and resolutely refrained from looking for fellow villagers and making friends at this time.

  In Class 9, only three of them passed the exam in the capital, so what?

  She is no stranger to the capital, so she doesn't want to find a group with her classmates.

  Even if they are in a group, there is still Comrade Xiaojin.

   But she didn't say anything, but Gong Xi @ her: [Xu Yin, when do you leave in August? I might leave early too, why don't we go together! ]

  Xu Yin: "..."

   Don’t you have a male lead? Why didn’t you ask out the male lead instead of asking out the little cannon fodder of my sister?

  Sister is busy, don't cue!

   Fortunately, Qiao Manxing answered: "Xixi, why don't you leave after attending my birthday? My birthday is on the 25th."

   Having said that, everyone turned the topic to Qiao Manxing's birthday party.

Eighteen-year-old birthdays are usually held together with the school entrance banquet, and Qiao Manxing is no exception. He invited many classmates and made an appointment to have dinner first and then karaoke. All night does not pass fast.

  Xu Yin rubbed her chin, wondering if she should hold a lively birthday party for Comrade Xiao Jin?

  Her own birthday was going back to the countryside, and Xu's father and Xu's mother wanted to go up to the mountain to pay homage to their ancestors, telling them that their daughter was admitted to college, and she was still ranked 985 in the country. From now on, the Xu family is also a family that has produced college students!

  Yes, I have been preparing dry ingredients for the past few days. As for chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, and local pork, I can buy better ones in the countryside than in the city, so it’s not too late to buy them there.

  But if Jiang Youjin's birthday is the same as the date on the ID card, then it happens to be the day before they set off for the capital.

  If she doesn't let him handle it, then his eighteenth birthday will probably slip away while packing his luggage and recharging his energy.

  Xu Yin took out her mobile phone, found Chen Yan's contact number, and contacted him.

  …

   Blink to mid-August.

Xu's mother was packing dry goods such as shiitake mushrooms and fungus from relatives in her hometown, and said to her daughter, "Yinyin, I really can't cook by myself in the dormitory? The mountain goods sent by your aunt are very good, why don't you pack them for you?" Take a pack with you, and if you can cook, you can make it anytime you want.”

  Xu Yin watched the video and photos Jiang Zuoyu sent from the birthday party decoration site in the small group consisting only of her, Chen Yan, and Jiang Zuoyu, and said, "Mom, the dormitory prohibits the use of induction cookers and open flames, mainly for fear of fire."

Mother Xu said regretfully: "Then I have to wait until you come back from vacation to make it for you. I asked your eldest lady to order two native chickens that she raised herself. When I go back to visit the grave on the winter solstice, I will ask the villagers to buy some chestnuts from the mountain. It's time to stew chestnut and mushroom chicken for you."

"Um."

  However, Mother Xu's words reminded her that if she wanted to make a small talk for herself and Comrade Xiaojin, there seemed to be no place.

   How about renting a small second bedroom in a residential building between Huada and Huanong? Have a place to cook for yourself on weekends?

  However, I’ll wait until I go to the capital to read this. For now, let’s celebrate Comrade Xiaojin’s birthday.

   "Sister Yinyin, what do you think of our arrangement?"

  Jiang Zuoyu's credit report was sent ahead.

   "It's okay! I'll leave the scene to you two, I'll make a cake, see you later!"

   Putting away her phone, Xu Yin went to the kitchen to cream the cake that was baked last night.

  Mother Xu knew that she was going to celebrate Jiang Youjin's birthday at night, so she raised her voice and said, "Why don't you eat cake on your birthday! Your dad marinated a few pig's feet last night, cut them up and take them away!"

"good."

   "Would you like to eat the plums that your great-grandfather planted himself? They are quite sweet and have a lot of water, but they look a bit ugly. They are on the ground next to the refrigerator. You can pick some better-looking plums and eat them."

"good."

   "I have to get up early to catch the plane tomorrow, so don't play too late at night."

"knew."

   At 4:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Youjin had just hung the washed and dried curtains back to the window, and looked at the third house that he had cleaned like a new home.

  Tomorrow, he will go to the capital to study, and his younger brother will go to the capital to play for a few days. After returning, he will move to the Xu family for boarding. In the coming year, the two brothers will not go home too many times.

  He took out the dust cover and covered some furniture and electrical appliances that were not used much.

   After finishing the work, I sat quietly in my parents' room, staring at the last group photo they left before their death in a daze.

  The phone rang.

   I saw that it was his brother calling.

   "Brother, hurry up! Emergency rescue! I was stopped by brother Ming! Ming, brother Ming, don't come closer, my brother will be here soon, what do you have to say..."

   "Where are you? Send me a location!"

  Jiang Youjin immediately got up and went out after listening to the sound on the other end of the phone.

   Keep reminding my younger brother: "Do you need to call the police? Don't hang up your phone..."

  On the other end of the phone, Jiang Zuoyu, who was turning on the power amplifier, glanced awkwardly at Brother Ming on the other side.

  Brother Ming laughed angrily: "Take me as a ready-made tool for people to use? Ha!"

   "Brother Ming, don't be angry. I didn't ask Sister Yin to do this. She wanted to give my brother a surprise eighteenth birthday. If I didn't make it up like this, my brother wouldn't come here."

  As soon as he heard that it was Xu Yin's idea, Brother Ming was discouraged and waved his hands weakly. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked around nervously: "Is she here too?"

   "Yeah. I've said it's going to be my brother's birthday, of course she's here."

  Brother Ming instantly stood upright.

  No way, I was scared of being beaten by Xu Yin.

  He actually came out of the detention center half a month ago, and the moment he came out, he wanted to take revenge on Jiang Zuoyu.

  Damn it, if it wasn't for this kid, why would he go in and squat for so long?

  Of course, if you want to talk about revenge, you should find that little girl the most.

   But who made him unable to beat her, so he could only vent his anger to Jiang Zuoyu.

   As a result, this kid was too cunning, and when he saw him, he ran away, provoking him while running, leading him to the gate of the community, and met Xu Yin who came to find Jiang Youjin to read in the library.

   Well, I was beaten up by that **** again, and said that I will trouble the Jiang brothers in the future, and she doesn't mind going directly to his house and beating him in front of his mother.

Don't look at him being a fool outside, but he is filial at home, because he has no father since he was a child, and he depends on his mother to bring him up. Obviously he can find a good man and remarry. In order not to let him suffer and be wronged, I've been a widow for twenty years, and now I'm looking forward to him marrying a wife and having a baby. If I know that he's messing around like this outside, I won't be so angry.

After that, Brother Ming never came to make trouble again, and today was just a coincidence, he came out of the detention center to do nothing, and found a job as a delivery worker in the wholesale market. Forced to fill up a tool man.

   "Well, brother Ming, my brother will arrive soon, and you have to act. Take my collar and go in, and lead my brother to the box."

   "..." Brother Ming squinted at him, "I don't beat you, it's for her sake, but don't think I'm easy to provoke..."

   "Brother Ming."

  Xu Yin's voice came from the entrance of the lobby.

  Brother Ming froze instantly. (end of this chapter)
