At noon, Pei's third wife prepared many dishes that Ah Li liked to eat.

Before eating, everyone also took out the gifts prepared for Ah Li.

Lin Darong and his wife bought Ah Li a pair of silver bracelets with their own saved money.

Lin Errong and his wife gave her a pair of pink satin hairbands with two strings of silver bells on them. They went to the county to choose them for a long time.

Mrs. Pei personally made a skirt and cotton coat for Ah Li out of silk and satin, in the style of young ladies from wealthy families in the city, with Ah Li's favorite koi pattern embroidered on them.

The four men also saved money together to buy delicious snacks for her.

Even the tiger cub Rourou went to the mountains to catch a deer and came back.

Ah Li was very happy to receive so many birthday gifts.

After thanking everyone one by one, they were ready to eat.

At this time, there was a knock on the door and a familiar voice outside.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

Everyone was overjoyed immediately. Mrs. Zhang went to open the courtyard door and welcomed Lin Sanrong in.

"Lao San, why are you back?"

Mrs. Pei's face was filled with smiles. She missed her son very much after being gone for so long.

Lin Sanrong rubbed his hands to warm them, then stepped forward and hugged Ah Li and said with a smile: "Master, he is going to the capital for a trip. He may not be able to come back before the end of the year, so he gave us a holiday. I left last night and wanted to come back in time.

Happy birthday to Lili."

Ah Li looked at Lin Sanrong with a smile when he heard this, "Thank you, third brother."

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. Third brother is so polite to me. Today is your birthday. I have prepared a gift for you. See if you like it."

Lin Sanrong put Ah Li down and took out a box from his luggage.

"Li Li, open it and take a look."

Ah Li took the box and opened it. It was a small rabbit pen holder made of ceramics.

"Wow! It's so cute. I like it so much. Thank you, third brother."

"As long as you like it."

Then he took out the gifts he had prepared for his family and distributed them to everyone.

Mrs. Pei was very happy when she took the hairpin given by her son, but she still said: "You must spend a lot of money to buy so many things! Did you use all the money we left for you to buy things for us?

?”

"Mom, I don't need to spend anything for food and accommodation at Master's house."

"Okay, okay, this is the third child's wish, so don't talk about it. Let's sit down and eat together! The food will be cold later."

Lin Changlu quickly waved his hand for everyone to sit down and eat.

In this way, the family reunited on A Li's birthday.

Everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.

It was snowing heavily outside. After eating and drinking, everyone sat on the warm kang and chatted.

"Mom and Dad, our new house is really spacious and the location is well chosen."

"Yes! Our family's life is getting better and better now, and a new house has been built. The next big thing is to arrange your marriage."

After Pei said this, everyone looked at Lin Sanrong with smiles on their faces.

Lin Sanrong's face suddenly turned red, and he said a little shyly: "Mom, I'm still young, so I don't want to think about marriage for the time being. What's more, all I want now is to get fame."

"Okay, okay, you take your test, and I'll help you keep an eye out for any good girls."

"Mom, if the third brother is admitted to the top prize in the future, only ladies and rich ladies can be worthy of him, so don't worry about his marriage." Lin Errong advised Pei.

"This seems to be the reason. If I think too much, then I won't be anxious."

Lin Sanrong thought of another thing and said solemnly to Pei and Lin Changlu: "Mom and dad, there is something I want to tell you. Please don't be angry."

Lin Changlu and his wife were a little confused when they saw his serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

"My master said my name was too simple, so he named me Tianyi, with the courtesy name Mingyang."

"We have never studied in school. I did choose the names of you three brothers and Dalang too simply. Now that you have been given a name by your master, we are too late to be happy. How could we be angry? It's just that your master gave you this name."

, it should have some meaning!”

"The word Tianyi means soaring into the sky and displaying great ambitions."

"Okay, okay, this name is great. We will change it in the future and call you Tianyi."

Everyone else also read the name several times until they remembered it.

Lin Sanrong will officially be called Lin Tianyi from today on.

At night, the cold wind was blowing fiercely, large flakes of snowflakes were flying wantonly in the air, and the distant mountains and trees were all shrouded in the white wind and snow.

It was just after Xu Shi, and Ah Li was lying on the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt, sleeping soundly.

Suddenly there was a knock on the window of her room.

Ah Li was awakened from his sleep.

She looked out the window alertly through the candlelight and shouted: "Who is it?"

"Li Li, it's brother Ling."

When Ah Li heard it was Lu Qingling's voice, she immediately stood up in surprise.

She was too small to reach the window, so she moved a stool from the side and climbed up to open the window.

The cold wind immediately rushed into the house.

Lu Qingling jumped into the house and closed the window.

None of the snowflakes fell off my body when I landed.

Seeing that A Li was wearing thin clothes, he quickly tucked her into the quilt.

"Hurry up and wrap yourself up, don't catch a cold."

"Brother Ling, I thought you wouldn't come back."

Ah Li's little head popped out from under the quilt, his mouth curled up and his face looked unhappy.

Lu Qingling gently rubbed A Li's soft hair on her forehead.

"We could have come back earlier, but something delayed us. Please don't be angry with me, please."

Ah Li suddenly wrinkled his nose and smiled sweetly, "But seeing as Brother Zai Ling you came back on my birthday, I won't be angry with you! Hehe!"

"I remember your birthday today, and I will come directly to see you as soon as you come back."

"It's so cold outside! Brother Ling, you can come and see me tomorrow."

Lu Qingling's pretty little face smiled and said: "I haven't seen Lili for so long, of course I want to see you sooner, not to mention I want to give you your birthday gift today, so I rushed all night

of."

When Ah Li heard that there was another gift, his eyes suddenly looked at Lu Qingling.

"Wow! I received a lot of gifts today. It's a great birthday."

Lu Qingling took out a square brocade box from her chest and handed it to A Li lovingly.

"Li Li, please open it and take a look."

Ah Li opened the brocade box with anticipation.

The room, which was originally dim with candlelight, was suddenly as bright as day.

There is a luminous pearl the size of an egg lying on the brocade box.

Ah Li exclaimed, "Brother Ling, what is this? It's so magical, it actually glows!"

"This is a luminous pearl. With it, you don't need to light candles at night."

"Wow! I like this gift so much! Thank you, Brother Ling."

Ah Li kissed Lu Qingling's left cheek.
