Good Luck Time - Chap 32

　　The restaurant for Tao Sizhi’s birthday is set to be a Chinese restaurant near his community.

　　The Chinese restaurant was small in size and exquisitely decorated. The waiter led Jiang Ge and his mother inside. Jiang Ge noticed that the restaurant was very clean, and the gaps in the mahogany furniture were all sparkling and spotless.

　　Pushing open the door of the box, Tao Sizhi was sitting inside, probably with his parents next to him.

　　Tao Sizhi’s parents appear to be middle-aged people with successful careers. They have a confident temperament and good conversation. They introduce themselves as partners of a well-known law firm in the city, which is not what Jiang Ge expected.

　　After giving the gift to Tao Sizhi, Jiang Ge and his mother sat down in their seats, and Tao Sizhi’s father began to liven up the atmosphere.

　　He joked that it was not that they didn’t want to book a better restaurant, but there were too few restaurants in the city that were willing to let Tao Sizhi visit the kitchen and meet his hygiene standards.

　　Tao Sizhi was the only one at the table who didn’t smile. He turned around to look at his gift, then looked at Jiang Ge, across his father and brother, and asked Jiang Ge, “Can I open it?”

　　Tao Sizhi’s parents suddenly seemed a little nervous. Maybe they thought Tao Sizhi was not polite and were afraid that his only friend would have objections.

　　Jiang Ge said to Tao Sizhi, “You can tear it down.” They breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Tao Sizhi’s father picked up the wine glass and toasted Jiang Ge and his mother with Tao Sizhi opening gifts in the background, thanking them somewhat solemnly.

　　At this time, Tao Sizhi had already opened Jiang Ge’s gift, took out the console box, looked over it, and asked Jiang Ge, “What is this? A game console, how to play it.”

　　He put the console box back, hugged the big gift box that the clerk had wrapped for Jiang Ge, walked to Jiang Ge, and said, “Teach me.”

　　”Sizhi,” Tao Siyuan called Tao Sizhi awkwardly and said, “come back first and sit down to eat.”

　　Tao Sizhi still looked at Jiang Ge and suddenly said: “It’s too heavy, I can’t hold it.” The gift box slipped from his arms and fell to the ground, hitting his feet. He jumped back and whimpered: “it hurts.”

　　Jiang Ge almost laughed and asked him to be careful when holding things. He lowered his head and helped him take out the console box and open it. He also showed him the games he had chosen and introduced a few of them.

　　Tao Sizhi leaned next to Jiang Ge’s chair, unwilling to go back. He pointed at the game Jiang Ge introduced, “Oh, I don’t like this,” “It’s okay,” “This is very good, you have such a discerning eye,” and ten Greedy “Then you gave me this great game console, will you help me draw harvest cornel tomorrow?”

　　Due to the presence of Tao Sizhi’s family, Jiang Ge didn’t say a single unnecessary word.

　　Jiang Ge didn’t mind that Tao Sizhi kept talking next to him. After all, there were two people separated by two seats, which was quite a distance.

　　But Tao Siyuan couldn’t stand it any longer. He came over, forcibly pulled Tao Sizhi away, and sat down on the chair: “After dinner, I will go home and study with you.”

　　Tao Sizhi’s expression was reluctant. He looked at Jiang Ge and said to Tao Siyuan unhappily: “No, this is mine.”

　　Tao Siyuan raised his hands: “What do you mean?”

　　At noon that day, Tao Sizhi’s father seemed very happy. He drank more than half a bottle of white wine and started talking more visibly.

　　He first chatted with Jiang Ge’s mother and found out that they had many friends in common, and also told some anecdotes about life. Later, Tao Sizhi’s mother asked Jiang Ge’s mother about the charity fund, and he listened quietly.

　　As the topic came to an end, he suddenly lamented to Jiang Ge’s mother: “Actually, when my brother was eight years old, we thought he had made his first friend and asked him to invite him to our home for a birthday party. My brother said he would come and kept coming. He waited from noon until night, refusing to light a candle.”

　　Jiang Ge’s mother’s eyes widened, and Jiang Ge also looked at him. Only Tao Sizhi secretly lowered his head and studied the console manual.

　　Tao Sizhi’s father continued: “Later, I couldn’t help but ask the class teacher for the contact information of the classmate’s parents, and called to ask. His parents said that he had made an appointment with a friend and was having fun at home, and they never mentioned it at all. It’s my brother’s business.”

　　Jiang Ge listened and looked at Tao Sizhi. Tao Sizhi raised his head, looked at his father, and asked casually, “Is it Shu Hua?”

　　His dad said “Yeah”, showed an annoyed expression, and whispered: “Later we found out that he was the first to call you…your nickname behind your back, and also stole your things.”

　　”Dad,” Tao Siyuan called him, “Okay, stop talking.”

　　Tao Sizhi’s father lowered his head and took a sip of wine in silence.

　　”This child is so bad.” Jiang Ge’s mother answered angrily.

　　At this time, Tao Sizhi looked at the instructions again, as if he had not asked any questions. Jiang Ge looked at Tao Sizhi for a while and asked Tao Sizhi’s father: “Did Tao Sizhi eat the cake in the end?”

　　”He didn’t want to eat it, so I lit a candle for him, and he was so angry that he cried, got angry at me, and even beat me,” his dad said, and smiled again, “But in the end he ate it because it tastes like vanilla after all. of.”

　　Perhaps because he felt the topic was a bit heavy, he didn’t talk about Tao Sizhi anymore, and instead asked the waiter to unpack the cake and bring it up.

　　Tao Sizhi’s cake was pure off-white without any decoration. His parents lit the eighteen-year-old candle for him, turned off the lights, and sang Happy Birthday together. Tao Sizhi blew out the candles.

　　When the lights came on, Tao Sizhi showed a rare meaningful smile. He pursed his lips, puffed up his cheeks slightly, and looked at the cake.

　　”Brother, you can make a wish now.” Tao Sizhi’s mother said.

　　Tao Sizhi glanced at her, and she suddenly added to Tao Sizhi: “You don’t need to express your wish.”

　　”Okay,” Tao Sizhi said, then looked at the cake and thought for a moment, “Okay.”

　　After lunch, they walked out of the restaurant, and Jiang Ge finally walked up to Tao Sizhi.

　　Tao Sizhi was still wearing a T-shirt without a pattern that looked very comfortable. She slowed down and looked at Jiang Ge as she walked. A short distance away from their parents, he asked Jiang Ge: “When will you teach me to play the game console.”
