Mu Jingzhe tried to listen but he also fell asleep.
When he woke up, he felt refreshed and amazed. “Xiao Wu, how do you do it? It's breathtaking. Absolutely amazing.”
Xiao Wu pursed his lips and smiled. “I was inspired by that little fish.”
Xiao Wu's eyes twinkled. “So Mom, is this really? is ?useful, right?”
"Yes, of course!" Xiao Wu finally overcame this difficulty. “Xiao Wu, how do you plan to publish this song? I think it will definitely be accepted with a lot of love and thank you.”
After all, Mu Jingzhe was extremely grateful. If this was released in the modern era, many people would be waiting for him.
"I'm fine with anything as long as it can help people."
"Xiao Wu, you're really great."
Xiao Wu's song had to be released, but there were other issues that needed to be addressed first. It was the anniversary of Bai Lu's death, held annually. On that day, the children will apply for leave and return. Shao Qihai would also go with them.
This was also the day when Ji Buwang would never bother them.
They had already become very familiar with the process of warning of death. Every year, Mu Jingzhe would make or buy Bai Lu's favorite food and let the children salute him.
Although it is said that when one dies, that is all and ghosts do not really exist, one needs to seek sustenance in a certain way. What if... What if someone could actually receive an offering after his death?
Therefore, Shao Dong and the others would never stop saluting.
In addition to preparing to pay their respects, Mu Jingzhe also cooked longevity noodles for Shao Nan and Little Bei as usual. Previously, Mu Jingzhe had prepared them himself, but now, Shao Qihai had also joined in.
Shao Nan and Little Bei were destined to never celebrate their birthdays like everyone else, so Mu Jingzhe did whatever could be done for them on that day.
For example, this year, he had prepared a special gift for Little Bei— the little white rabbit.
Little Bei always liked little rabbits. Since Xiao Wu had received the small fish from Old Master Ji, Little Bei had also helped him feed them. Mu Jingzhe had seen her irish gaze.
Therefore, she got a small white rabbit for her as her birthday present.
In the past, he had no means. Now that he had the means, he couldn't let them down.
When Little Bei saw the little white rabbit inside the cage, he was overjoyed. “Is that really for me? Mother, thank you. Mom, you're amazing. I love you so much."
Mu Jingzhe hugged Little Bei, who pounced on him, and laughed. “I know you'll love it. Raise rabbits well in the future. ”
Since he had given Little Bei this gift, Shao Nan's gift could not be lacking in comparison. However, Shao Nan's gift had been prepared by Shao Qihai. This had been decided by Mu Jingzhe and him by drawing a lot. Mu Jingzhe had drawn Little Bei, and Shao Qihai had drawn Shao Nan.
"Little Nan, your father is also preparing a gift for you," Mu Jingzhe quickly added after seeing Shao Nan curiously crouching down and caressing the little rabbit.
Shao Qihai: "Yes, I also prepared something."
Originally, she had thought the gift she had prepared was fine, but after seeing Mu Jingzhe's gift, she was a little worried. He walked out nervously and pushed a sizable shelf.
After Shao Nan lifted him up, Mu Jingzhe looked over curiously and fell silent.
Shao Qihai gave Little Nan a bookcase that was adjusted to her height. There was a wheel underneath that allowed the bookshelf to be pushed, and the top was filled with books that Shao Qihai had painstakingly collected. He believed that Shao Nan would definitely like them.
These books include books on medicine and human anatomy and have been written by local and overseas authors. There are also models of the structure of the human body, as well as models of the skeleton.
Shao Nan did like the gift. After all, this had been prepared by Shao Qihai and matched his taste. However, there was actually a problem with this gift. It had been prepared very meticulously and it was good, as long as it was not compared to the adorable little rabbit from Little Bei.
Looking at the little white rabbit on Little Bei's arm, then at the human body structure model and skeleton model, Shao Qihai coughed and covered the gift with his body. “So... Little Nan, what kind of small animal do you like? I'll buy it for you next time too.”
Unlike the little white rabbit, the small skeleton model was like something out of a scary fairy tale.
Mu Jingzhe held onto his forehead. Shao Qihai was very similar to a crazy parent who gave their children three years of college entrance exam papers and five years of simulated questions as a birthday gift.
Previously, he did not feel confident and even asked Shao Qihai how the reward was prepared, but Shao Qihai confidently stated that Shao Nan would definitely like it.
Not that the gift was terrible. Shao Nan must have liked it, but it was still a strange birthday present.
Shao Nan looked at Shao Qihai's embarrassed expression and resisted the urge to laugh. “I like it very much. Thanks dad. You tried hard to find this model, right?”
Shao Qihai's eyes twinkled upon hearing that. "That's fine. I originally wanted to give you an acupuncture chart, but TCM doctors [1] long refused to help.
Shao Nan could imagine that Shao Qihai had worked hard. “It just so happens that I need this. Thank you dad."
In fact, what is important about a gift is not the gift itself, but the sincerity behind it. Although her father's gift was not as sweet as a little rabbit, she had put in a lot of effort and the gift was filled with her sincerity.
Moreover, to him, that small skeleton was much better than a small rabbit.
Shao Nan did not look forced at all. He even hugged the small skeleton and stroked its head. “It feels good to the touch and also not too heavy. Dad, this is made according to the original bone ratio, right?”
"Yes, it's made according to the actual ratio." Shao Qihai nodded excitedly. Seeing that Shao Nan liked him so much, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Nan small, equally. I'm glad you like it."
"I like that. I really like it. I'll put it in my room.” Shao Nan took on the other models as well.
Hearing that, Shao Xi, Shao Dong, and Xiao Wu fell silent.
“…”
Now that there is an empty room, the four brothers are no longer trapped in one room together. They can sleep separately, but there are basically two boys per room.
In addition, they do not have a regular sleep partner. They slept randomly, so the three of them took turns to be Shao Nan's roommate.
It was fine for Shao Nan to put the small skeleton in the room, but if they also stayed in the same room, wouldn't they be scared to death when they woke up in the middle of the night?
In the end, due to their objections, Shao Nan reluctantly put it on the bookshelf.
Finally, Mu Jingzhe took a birthday photo of Shao Nan, who was holding a small skeleton and model, and Little Bei, who was holding a small white rabbit.
Although Shao Nan said that she liked the gift, Shao Qihai still decided to learn from this. “Nan small, next time I'll give you a little animal. Do you like puppies?”
“Maybe uncomfortable because we move around. I can't be responsible for a dog's life.” Shao Nan refused. This was what Mu Jingzhe had said earlier. A person must be responsible for their pet throughout their life if they choose to keep it.
Shao Qihai was speechless upon hearing the word 'dog life'.
“Nan small prefers little piglets, but we can't give him one for now. When there is a mini pig and a pet pig in the future, we can buy it for him, ” added Mu Jingzhe. There's nothing he can do for now. It's not like they can keep a big black pig as a pet. After the New Year, they had to kill him and eat him.
That would be too cruel.
