Why it never ends

Chapter 885 Memorial

Miaomiao had already been hugged by Xu Ruyi. The child was crying so hard that her eyebrows were red and her whole face was full of energy. Everyone gathered around and tried their best to wipe the tears of the birthday girl, but Miaomiao just buried her face in Xu Ruyi's arms, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Ding Xueyang took his daughter's little hand and asked with concern what was wrong.

"Jian prepared a gift for me," Miao Miao cried out of breath, "Uncle - took it and gave it to someone -"

Xu Ruyi and Ding Yuqing were stunned at the same time. They both realized that Miao Miao had probably heard their conversation just now.

Everyone around laughed and said with relief, "The birthday girl can't cry" and "Come and see our gifts." However, Miaomiao's crying could not stop at all.

Ding Yuqing came to Miaomiao with the gifts and greeting cards that Hesta brought today. "Look, there is no gift. Isn't this the gift that Jane brought you?"

Miaomiao paused for a second. She glanced at the name of the mall on the paper bag, and then beat her chest again, "This is definitely not the original gift! This is the new one you bought today!"

Ding Yuqing didn't know how to explain it for a moment, but secretly regretted that she shouldn't have said anything just now.

Hesta and Ksenia were chatting, and then they stopped. From the moment the guests started arriving, they quietly occupied an unoccupied corner of the living room. They were not far from the crowd, but could not talk to anyone else. At this moment, the two of them not only heard Miaomiao's cry, but also vaguely heard someone calling Hesta's name.

So the two stood up and trudged through the crowd. In the center of the storm, Shi Yimiao was still howling heartbreakingly. Hesta had already heard the whole story from Ding Yuqing. She heard it funny and interrupted Ding Yuqing's self-blame, "Help me." Are you busy?"

"what?"

"My coat is hanging on the hanger in the entrance hall." Hesta replied, "Bring it to me."

"Okay..." Ding Yuqing looked back at Miao Miao, who was still struggling in Xu Ruyi's arms, "But-"

Hesta rolled up her sleeves and said, "Leave it to me."

Ding Yuqing nodded and started to break out. Halfway through, she heard Hesta speak in an exaggerated voice, "Let me see whose child is crying? Ah? Why is it you, Miaomiao—— "

Shi Yimiao listened half-comprehensively, but the crying stopped at least. After Ding Xueyang finished translating, Miao Miao tightened her mouth again, as if she was about to continue howling at any time.

Hesta took Miaomiao from Xu Ruyi. Since the last night when he helped Ding Xueyang find a cup, the two began to have some tacit understanding.

"...What gift did you prepare for me?" Miaomiao asked, "Is it something I haven't seen before?"

"I've definitely never seen it before. I brought it here from another area. How could you have seen it before?"

Miaomiao's eyebrows immediately stood up, and her voice became sobbing again, "But they were all taken away——"

"I took it away, but I took it back again," Hesta said, "Although Ding Jiali said you wouldn't like it, but..."

"What is it!" Miaomiao's back straightened immediately. She supported Hesta's shoulders and stood up in her arms, "...Why don't I like it? I definitely like it. Where is the gift? "

Ding Yuqing happened to return with Hesta's coat. In front of everyone, Ding Yuqing followed Hesta's instructions and took out a red pen from her inner pocket and handed it to Miao Miao.

"Fountain pen?" Miao Miao was already half-hearted, but when she opened the pen cap, she couldn't help but feel even more disappointed, "...a used pen."

"This is no ordinary pen," Hesta replied. "Guess who used this pen?"

Miaomiao looked at her, "You?"

The crowd chuckled.

"Yes, I did use it...but before that, it was a pen that belonged to the adjudicator," Hesta replied, "Does Miaomiao know what an adjudicator is?" Ding Xueyang whispered Hesta's words, Miao Miao shook his head and looked at the other adults. A voice in the corner said uncertainly, "Is it some kind of chief justice of the third district? Is it the third district?"

"Yes," Hesta said softly, "The adjudicator is the person who decides the final direction of the matter. Whatever document they sign with this pen, the corresponding orders and laws will take effect."

"...Wow," Miaomiao grabbed the pen and turned it over to look at it, "Where did you get it?"

"Won it from someone else."

"Have you ever been an adjudicator?"

"...I don't think I've done it before." Hesta said, "But I experienced it for a little while."

"Then you don't need this pen?"

"I will have new ones," Hesta replied, "and I will give you this one as a souvenir."

Miaomiao grabbed the new gift and no longer felt pity. In fact, she was not sad since she found out that the gift was a pen. She quickly ran back to her friends with a smile.

The crowd dispersed in the living room again. Ksenia looked at the children's corner in the distance for a long time, then suddenly turned back and said, "I found that you are quite good at making up lies."

"How do you know it's a lie?"

"The adjudicators are all old news from the last century in the Third District. Where can we still have the adjudicator system now," Ksenia laughed, "but that pen is so beautiful."

Hesta smiled and scratched her head, "Doesn't this mean that I'm not a good lier?"

……

Later, everyone sat down. The children sat in a circle around the low coffee table. The two birthday girls wore paper crowns and sat together. They sang happy birthday with everyone, then blew out the candles and cut the cake.

Halfway through eating, Jingjing suddenly stood up and picked up the white bear given to Miaomiao, showing off the special feature of this doll - it turns out that after turning on the switch, the white bear can monitor the surrounding environment. Once a cry is detected, the white bear will White noise or music will be played automatically. If necessary, pre-recorded sounds can also be played.

Miaomiao tried to make a few noises, and sure enough, a burst of white noise came from the white bear's belly. She happily threw the bear to the ground and rolled on the huge and soft belly of the doll.

"Do you like it?" Jingjing asked.

"I like it," Miaomiao stood up excitedly, "I'll also show you the gift I prepared for you!"

Ding Xueyang wanted to stop it, but Miaomiao had already opened the packed carton, and several other children gathered around to help tear off the thick laser wrapping paper.

When the packaging box of the remote control truck was revealed, Jingjing had a puzzled expression on her face.

"...Is this a gift for me?" She looked at Miaomiao, then turned to her mother, "I feel like it's for a boy."

Jingjing's mother laughed, "Hey, if someone gives it to you, just accept it."

Sitting there quietly, after thinking for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to ask, "...don't you have a doll?"

Ding Xueyang suddenly felt that all this was so familiar that she was almost breathless.
