Chapter 908

Chen Lanying: "What kind of birthday is it? That's for the rich. Let's live it well."

Zhang Zian: "Don't worry about it, just come back early."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Chen Lanying rides an electric scooter.

"Be careful on the road, don't rush so fast..."

Zhang Zian warned from behind.

"understood……"

Watching Chen Lanying walk away, Zhang Zian also got on his courier car and started the delivery in the afternoon.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Lanying received a call from Zhang Zian: "Lan Ying, the meal is ready, come back soon."

"Okay. I'll be right back."

Originally, Chen Lanying wanted to run two more orders, but seeing that Zhang Zhian was urging her, she didn't take any more orders. Since she said that she would celebrate her birthday, Zhang Zian couldn't be kept waiting at home.

Let's call it a day and go home early today, and just run two more orders tomorrow.

Chen Lanying rode an electric car back to their rented house.

This is the urban-rural fringe.Most of them are several-storey small buildings built by private individuals, each with a yard full of motorcycles and electric vehicles.

The people who live here are all migrant workers, and everyone leaves early and returns late.

Every morning, I go out to work on a motorcycle or an electric car, and come back at night.

When Chen Lanying came back, Zhang Zian had already picked her up at the intersection.

Chen Lanying parked the car beside him and jokingly said, "This handsome guy, do you want a ride?"

"Yes, yes."

Zhang Zian climbed into the back seat and hugged his wife's waist, "Beauty, take me home."

"Okay, go home."

Chen Lanying drove into the intersection, turned around skillfully, and got in and out of the alley.

The environment here is more complicated, and the people who come in and out are more complicated, but they can't afford to rent a house with a better environment. Shabby place.

Chen Lanying parked the electric car in the yard, and Zhang Zian had already opened the door, "Welcome birthday lady."

"Thank you, Mr. Shou Xing."

The couple rented a hut on the first floor, only ten square meters.

There is a bed, a simple wardrobe, a small dining table, two round stools, and a shoe rack at the door. There is no extra space, and there is no TV.

The kitchen and toilets are shared.

The cost is shared by everyone.

Chen Lanying washed her face and hands, and saw that the food was already set on the small dining table in the room.

I steamed a fish, fried a vegetarian dish, a small cake and a bottle of drink.

"Why so extravagant? Cakes are expensive."

Is this a luxury?

In the eyes of city people, this might not be considered a normal meal. If it was a birthday, it might be very rich.

Zhang Zi'an: "You celebrate your birthday, let's spend it extravagantly. There are fish every year. I bought this little cake at the supermarket. It's cheap. It's less than nine or ten yuan. Come, come, come... birthday lady, Don't worry about it, you only celebrate your birthday once a year."

Chen Lanying: "It's okay to eat like this every day."

Zhang Zian: "We will have a better life in the future, I will do this every day for you to eat."

"Hey, I hope..."

Zhang Zian poured the drink into the cup and handed it to Chen Lanying, "Come on, wife, I'll offer you a drink instead of wine, and wish you a happy birthday."

"Don't you have to light a candle and make a wish first?"

"Oops, I forgot, hehe, never had a birthday cake..."

"Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig running? People on TV always light candles and make wishes."

"Oh, my wife, this little cake is delivered without a candle...just two small plastic spoons."

"Then I'll make a wish with my eyes closed and stop blowing out candles."

Zhang Zian: "I have a way."

Take a lighter and light it.

"Honey, hurry up and make a wish, and blow it out when you're done."

"it is good."

Chen Lanying closed her eyes, prayed silently, and then blew out the lighter with one breath.

Zhang Zian sang in unison: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, and happy birthday to my wife."

"Honey, what did you wish for?"

"If I don't tell you, it won't work."

In fact, the wish she made just now is: I hope her son's illness will be cured, and her family's life will be better.

Zhang Zian: "Forget it if you don't tell me, I can guess anyway. Come and cut the cake."

Chen Lanying took a knife and cut the cake into two, "Come on, half for you and half for me."

This little cake is really small, not much bigger than a fist, and two people can finish it in two bites.But both of them were reluctant to eat it all at once, so they dug and ate it with a small spoon.

Chen Lanying: "This cake is delicious, sweet and fragrant, and the cream is so smooth... This is the best cake I've ever eaten."

"Say it as if you eat it a lot?"

"I haven't eaten it, but I haven't seen it. We also ordered cakes on our rice balls. I have delivered several orders. I don't think that cake looks good. It must not be as delicious as ours."

"Yes, it's the best cake ever."

Chen Lanying: "When my daughter and son come, buy one for them too, no, buy two, one for each of them."

"Okay, one by one."

Zhang Zian raised his glass again, "My wife, I wish you a happy birthday."

Chen Lanying rubbed her face: "Why do you turn forty in a blink of an eye, life flies so fast."

Zhang Zian looked at Chen Lanying with some guilt.

She used to be a flower, but now the butcher's knife of time has carved its mark on her face.

Especially after becoming a food delivery staff, she was exposed to the sun all day in the wind and rain, which made her face dark and wrinkled.

It's all because of my own incompetence.

If I can earn more money, I can't let my wife follow me to suffer.

"Honey, I'm sorry, it's all because of my inability to make you suffer with me."

"We're old couples, why are we still talking about these things? Let's not talk about dragging anyone down. It's fate. Now let's work hard to make money, cure our son's illness, and send our daughter to college. It's easy."

Their daughter Zhang Li is already in the third year of high school and will graduate next year. Her grades have been very good and she will be admitted to university without any problem.

It's just that the son is not in good health and has a tumor in his brain.

"I want her to come to Jiangcheng for the exam, so that our family can be together, and then bring my son to Jiangcheng for medical treatment..."

"That fee is definitely not low..."

"Can such an operation be performed in our small county? It will open your mind..."

Zhang Zian made up his mind: "Okay, I'll come here for medical treatment, at worst, I'll have another job."

"You have to deliver so many couriers every day, how can you have time to work part-time?"

"I can go and deliver supper..."

"You don't want to die. Zi'an, you don't need to work so hard. I have planned everything. After my daughter is admitted to university, she can apply for a bursary for poor students. If she has good grades, there are other scholarships, and she can also work and study. These add up to her basic education. You don’t need to spend any money on…”

Zhang Zian: "Really. How do you know so clearly?"
