afternoon.

Wang Zijun didn't come over, so the two of them couldn't play Landlord, so they just played pulling a carriage for a while out of boredom...

That is to divide the cards directly into two piles, half for each person, and then blindly play them out one by one and put them in a row. Whoever plays a card that overlaps with the previous one can collect all the cards in the middle until a certain party

After all the cards in the hand are played, the winner is determined.

Is boring.

"You said before that you were practicing swordsmanship?"

"Yeah, just like that swish swish on TV... When the spiritual energy recovers one day, I will be able to wield a sword directly."

"Well, you can go to heaven."

Qin Hao responded casually, they would never learn to be steady when they were laughing and joking together.

The hospital was not popular at this time of year. It was a single room with no one to talk to. When he got tired of playing, he threw the playing cards aside while Xu Qing ate an orange and checked his phone.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Maocai came by bus again, carrying a box with dinner in it. He would stay here until evening before going back.

Together with Qin Maocai, Landlord Landlord took shape. It was still a father-son game. Xu Qing and Qin Maocai moved small stools and sat beside the bed. Qin Maocai touched the cards and had to rub his fingers. After playing like this for less than half an hour, someone knocked on the door outside.

"It must be that guy Wang Zijun."

Xu Qing was a farmer, so he was not afraid that the father and son would secretly exchange cards. He got up and went to open the door. Standing at the door was the eldest girl they had rescued.

"Well……"

"..."

"Come in, come in." Xu Qing was stunned for a moment and quickly opened the door. Now there were four people in the ward, and it suddenly felt a little crowded.

Qin Hao was stunned. He also felt that this girl was very sincere and could just say thank you once and be done with it. Here it comes again...

"What... I have something else to do. Let's go out for a walk first?" Xu Qing consciously put away the playing cards and prepared to leave.

You can't let people watch the three of them fight the Landlord.

"Well, okay, I have to take a walk with Xiongba. Let's go, I'll go too." Qin Maocai's head twitched and he went out with Xu Qing.

"You can walk as long as you want, don't pull my arm, okay? It makes me look like a tyrant."

Xu Qing complained, taking out the garbage in the ward and throwing it away outside. Seeing that Qin Maocai had no place to go, he was happy, "Aren't you going to walk Xiongba?"

"I'll just make some room."

"What are you doing? I just came to say thank you. Are you thinking too much?" Xu Qing asked.

"No, no, I didn't think about anything. It's just... weird."

"Okay, I guess I know who the rat is following."

The two of them arrived downstairs together. Qin Maocai lit up a Hongtashan cigarette, sat down on the bench next to him, shook out the cigarette case and gave Xu Qing a cigarette to shake out.

The greening next to it was well done, and the leafy trees just blocked the sunlight. Xu Qing also sat down and smoked with him for a while. The old man looked up at the stairs and sighed.

"I was almost scared to death the day before yesterday, but suddenly I was admitted to the hospital. You think he is a small-time police officer, how can he be so tormented?"

"This is called being passionate and sticking to one's duties, which is a good thing."

"What a fart!"

"Okay, okay, that's cool." Xu Qing nodded in agreement. The old man was almost the same as Xu Wenbin.

"You told me every day that it's not dangerous, so you can find a cat or dog to resolve the dispute. In the blink of an eye, you're lying in there. Why do you think you'd rather be a policeman..."

"Everyone has his own ambitions. You don't know. He likes this when he is a kid. We play police and catch thieves. Everyone wants to be a thief, but he happily rushes to be a policeman every day." Xu Qing blew out a big puff of smoke.

.

I had quit smoking for a long time, and I was still a little dizzy after smoking hard. He threw the remaining half under his feet and trampled it to death, then threw it into the trash can nearby.

"This is a dream come true, can you still force him to change his career?"

"well……"

"Don't sigh, uncle. Having a sense of justice is much better than me...Besides, this is an accident. How can we meet it every day? What kind of chaos will Jiang City be like? Right?"

"He caught up by accident." Qin Maocai took out his phone and clicked, "I saw you practicing martial arts up here?"

"……yes."

"When you have nothing to do, teach the little mouse and make him stronger."

"He doesn't learn. They have their own way and don't learn this."

…

In the next few days, Xu Qing traveled back and forth between the hospital and home. Unknowingly, June had come to an end. After Zhou Suzhi reminded him, he realized that it was his birthday.

In previous years, when I was too lazy to do anything about birthdays, I would go out to eat noodles, add two eggs, and then tell Zhou Suzhi that we had a big meal, then go back and lie down on the bed to sleep; or gather a group of friends, eat, drink, and sing karaoke, and get dizzy after doing the same thing.

I feel so dizzy that my birthday has passed.

On June 27th, Qin Hao was already able to get out of bed, and Xu Qing did not go to the hospital to play cards with him to relieve his boredom.

Jiang He was traveling with a bear bag on her back, running around in the bus or the subway. As she became more and more familiar with modern society, she became more and more courageous. If she accidentally got caught, it would be a matter of course.

Let’s resolve the identity issue.

When she came back, the smoke was choking. Xu Qing was doing something wrong in the kitchen. A big cake on the table caught her eye.

"Is it your birthday today?" Jiang He walked to the kitchen door in surprise and asked.

"right."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll prepare delicious food."

She put the bear bag on the sofa, rolled up her sleeves, replaced Xu Qing, and stood in front of the stove to prepare the meal.

"Life should have a sense of ritual." Xu Qing said.

"Is this the reason why you waste ingredients?" Jiang He was very dissatisfied with the messy kitchen. It had always been her territory and was well maintained, but Xu Qing made it a mess.

I can also cook some noodles.

"That big cake is so big." She couldn't help but lick her lips.

"No, it's about the same size as the one you ate last time."

Xu Qing felt that the one last year was quite good, so he bought it from the same store this time. It was the same size, but the pattern was different.

Jiang He thought hard and thought the cake this time was big: "Really? The one I ate last time was gone without even eating it."

"Because you have a big mouth."

"I don't have a big mouth."

Nowadays, Jiang He is no longer the country bumpkin who has never seen anything before. He can have a big cake for dinner, and he can still eat it very happily.

After cooking a few side dishes to accompany the cake, Xu Qing only lit a candle, blew it out as a formality, and then took a plastic knife and prepared to cut it.

"When is my birthday?" Jiang He suddenly asked.

"yes……"

Xu Qing got stuck, and he forgot what day it was.

At first I wanted to treat the day I came as a birthday, but later I saw how much she liked it and ordered another cake. Jiang He finished it in two days, and she still seemed to be unsatisfied.

"How about I leave it to today, so it's easier to remember." Jiang He came up with a very smart idea.

"What do you think a birthday is? You can put it on any day you want. It is very meaningful."

"I don't know when it will be anyway, isn't it just a random arrangement?"

Xu Qing looked at her for a moment while holding the plastic knife, nodded and said: "It seems to make sense, it's good to arrange it on the same day."

Before Jiang He could take apart the candles, he added: "But in this case, we can only celebrate one birthday and eat cake once a year."

"..."

Jiang He hesitated when he heard this.

Yes, if two people are on the same day, they can only eat once.

"Just once." She licked her lips and reluctantly gave up the other cake.

After lighting another candle, making a wish and blowing it out, Jiang He took over the task of cutting the cake.

"From now on, we will have birthdays on the same day."

After she finished speaking, she clicked the knife and the cake was divided into two halves, half for each person.

The cream was still so sweet. Jiang He took a sip and closed his eyes in comfort.

"If a live-action version of Little Boss is to be filmed, you will definitely have a role." Xu Qing picked up the cake at the bottom and ate it, leaving the cream on the surface.

"Don't you feel happy eating this?"

"Do you know what happiness is?"

"You know, eating sweets makes people feel happy and joyful."
