On November 18, 1991, autumn was getting stronger.

Zhao Xiangwan received a package from his hometown, which was a bright green round-neck sweater. Seeing the familiar double-twisted twist stitch, the bright colors, and the sweater that fit just right, Zhao Xiangwan's eyes

Shining with joy.

Roommate Zhang Yalan came close to her, looked at the sweater and "tsk-tsk" twice, "This color...this style..." Although she didn't finish what she said, Zhao Xiangwan heard it clearly.

[The color of this sweater is so bright and the style is so tacky. Can it be worn? 】

Zhao Xiangwan turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yalan.

Zhang Yalan blushed and raised her hands in embarrassment: "I know, I know, I shouldn't criticize this sweater in my heart, but... this extremely bright green is really dazzling."

Zhao Xiangwan put the sweater against his cheek, feeling the soft touch of the sweater.

My aunt only knows two stitches: front and back stitch and double-strand twist. But she can knit quickly and can knit one piece in a week. She knits one piece for Zhao Xiangwan every year.

Although his adoptive parents only planned for their biological daughter Zhao Chenyang and suppressed Zhao Xiangwan in every way, his aunt Zhao Dacui was the warmest color in Zhao Xiangwan's childhood.

Rural people choose names straightforwardly and simply. Zhao Xiangwan's aunt Zhao Dacui and his father Zhao Erfu are siblings. Zhao Dacui is honest, kind and hard-working. After marrying to a neighboring village, she gave birth to three daughters. She was not treated well by her parents-in-law and husband for a long time. Zhao Erfu married a wife

Qian Shufen gave birth to two sons and a daughter and lived a good life.

As a woman, when she saw that Zhao Xiangwan was as honest and obedient as herself, but was not cared for by her parents at home, Zhao Dacui felt pity and often secretly gave her food, food, and clothes. Zhao Xiangwan had her period for the first time.

She was panicked and scared, so it was Zhao Dacui who took her to buy menstrual belts and toilet paper, and gently taught her to pay attention to menstrual hygiene and try not to get wet with cold water.

In Zhao Xiangwan's mind, his aunt is his closest relative.

Putting the sweater away in the closet, Zhao Xiangwan took off the student uniform issued by the school, put on a simple white floral shirt, a pair of blue trousers, combed his hair in two braids, and got ready to go out.

Zhang Yalan rarely saw Zhao Xiangwan in casual clothes and asked curiously: "Why are you going? You are dressed so beautifully."

Zhao Xiangwan pursed his lips and did not answer.

After living in the same dormitory for two and a half months, everyone gradually became familiar with each other. Zhang Yalan has a carefree character. He stretched out his hand to pat Zhao Xiangwan on the shoulder and joked: "What are you doing? Is there another secret?"

Zhao Xiangwan didn't like physical contact with others, so he took half a step back.

Zhang Yalan's hand was hanging in the air, a little embarrassed, but she adjusted her mentality quickly, took back her hand and smoothed herself over with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

[There must be something going on! Zhao Xiangwan usually talks very little in class, so dressing up so seriously means he is in love, right? Strange, who is it? She glanced at me, and I didn’t even dare to say a bad word. Which boy is so capable?

courage?】

Zhao Xiangwan has heard too many similar voices.

After pausing for a moment, she quickly left the dormitory.

After coming out of the dormitory building, I walked along Xiangzhang Road towards the teachers' residential area. I walked into a unit building 201 with familiar familiarity. As soon as I knocked on the door, I heard Zhou Qiaoxiu's gentle and cheerful voice from inside the door: "Here we come.

coming!"

Ever since she rescued little child Xu Zhenbao, Zhou Qiaoxiu had taken special care of Zhao Xiangwan and notified her early in the morning that she would come home for dinner today.

The teachers' dormitory of the Public Security University was built in the 1970s. It is more than 50 square meters and has two bedrooms and one living room. The living room is not big and only a square table can be placed by the window.

As soon as he entered the door, a sweet and greasy aroma hit him. Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyes and saw a round cream cake on the small dining table in the living room, exuding an alluring aroma.

Zhou Qiaoxiu put the last dish on the table, took off her apron, and smiled brightly: "The birthday boy is here. Today, your Uncle Xu, your baby, and I will celebrate your birthday together!"

Zhao Xiangwan's footsteps were nailed to the tile floor and he could not move even half a minute.

The square table in the center of the living room is filled with all kinds of meals. In the center is a large cake decorated with red and green cream flowers. There are white chocolate decorations in the center of the cake: a girl wearing a princess dress and a crown.

little girl.

Countless times in his dreams, Zhao Xiangwan had imagined this scene today.

——My biological parents took me to my side and gave them a big cream cake on my birthday. There were candles and the little princess on the cake. My parents smiled and said: "Happy birthday to you, baby!"

It's a pity that until I was eighteen, there was no news at all.

Zhou Qiaoxiu took out two candles, one red and one green. One candle had the character "1" and the other candle had the character "8". She helped Zhao Xiangwan insert the candles with a smile. Xu Songling took out a lighter and lit it. The baby looked up.

He pulled her hand with a small face: "Sister, come, happy birthday."

Sauced salted duck, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed crucian carp with black bean sauce, fried pork with chili pepper, stir-fried chicken, stir-fried lettuce... The aroma is strong, mixed with the aroma of butter and rice, which makes Zhao Xiangwan's eyes warm as he has been treated harshly by his adoptive parents since he was a child.

, my chest was so hot that I couldn't say a word.

Zhao Xiangwan is from Zhaojiagou, Huangtian Township, Luoxian County, Hunan Province, which is adjacent to the county seat. He makes a living by planting rice. He works hard every year and can only make ends meet. His mother, Qian Shufen, is frugal and is reluctant to spend money, even during the Chinese New Year.

The food has never been so rich, let alone buying expensive birthday cakes for Zhao Xiangwan’s birthday.

She said: "My family is poor and we have no money."

But what the mother was thinking in her heart was: My biological daughter has gone to the city to enjoy happiness, so you should suffer hardship in the country, and even if you have money, you will not be able to use it.

Zhao Chenyang, the "twin" sister who grew up with Zhao Xiangwan and went to the city to enjoy the fortune of becoming a wealthy lady at the age of ten, is actually the biological daughter of Qian Shufen and Zhao Erfu. However, because of envy of Zhao Xiangwan's biological parents,

The rich people in the city quietly took Zhao Xiangwan's place and entered the city.

After learning the truth, Zhao Xiangwan, who was left in the countryside, endured it for eight years. Finally this year, she got rid of her adoptive parents who had been blocking her progress and was admitted to the Hunan Provincial Public Security University.

"Blow out the candles quickly, Zhao Xiangwan. Today is your eighteenth birthday. Your family is not around, so the teacher will celebrate it with you."

Zhou Qiaoxiu is the class teacher. She has seen the students’ files when they entered the school and remembers that Zhao Xiangwan was born on November 18, 1973. Today is her eighteenth birthday. This child is silent and introverted. She never asks for anything from anyone, and Zhou Qiaoxiu doesn’t know.

How to express my gratitude, so I discussed with my lover and arranged a birthday party at home.

Seeing Zhao Xiangwan's reddish eye circles, Zhou Qiaoxiu felt very distressed.

As a senior class teacher, she has come into contact with many rural children. Because their family conditions are poor and they have not seen much of the world, they are somewhat less confident when they first enter college.

Zhao Xiangwan was so smart and smart, but could not enjoy better treatment due to family constraints. Zhou Qiaoxiu felt aggrieved for her. She pretended not to see Zhao Xiangwan's move and urged her in a relaxed manner: "Shut up quickly.

Make a wish with your eyes, then blow out the candles, and the baby will sing you a happy birthday song."

Zhao Xiangwan closed his eyes as he was told and heard Zhou Qiaoxiu and Xu Songling's truest inner voice.

[This child must have suffered a lot when he was a child, his eyes turned red when he saw the big cake.]

[Poor families can often cultivate particularly talented people. Children like Zhao Xiangwan, who are tenacious and tolerant, can often achieve great things. 】

His cold and hard heart suddenly shattered, as if the most holy and beautiful snow lotus flower in the world bloomed in the ice and snow. Zhao Xiangwan's eyebrows were slightly curved, a faint smile hung at the corner of his mouth, his hands were clasped to his lips, and he silently promised in his heart

Next eighteenth birthday wishes.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." The baby's immature happy birthday song rang in my ears.

Phew! The candle went out.

Zhao Xiangwan looked at Zhou Qiaoxiu and mouthed two words: "Thank you!"

Everyone sat down to eat happily. Zhao Xiangwan stood up and held tea as wine in front of Xu Songling: "Officer Xu, I have something to ask you for help."

Xu Songling laughed and picked up the wine glass in front of him: "Classmate Zhao, don't be polite. You are Teacher Zhou's student and our baby's savior. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

There is another sentence that Xu Songling did not say: Thank you for helping us understand Meimei's true face and eliminate a hidden cancer in our family.

Meimei is the child officially adopted by Xu Songling and Zhou Qiaoxiu. It is impossible to return her to the orphanage. Considering that this child has a deep mind and deliberately abandoned his sister, Xu Songling will naturally not keep Meimei at home anymore. Even if Meimei cries and sells her in various ways

Unfortunately, Officer Xu still gave her a serious reprimand at the police station, and then sent her to boarding school without saying a word.

When parting, Xu Songling said to Meimei sincerely: "Not all mistakes are worthy of forgiveness. If you dare to do it, then you must dare to take it!"

Although legally Xu Zhenmei is still the child of Xu Songling and Zhou Qiaoxiu, emotionally the relationship has been severed.

Zhao Xiangwan could hear Xu Songling's inner voice, and secretly praised Officer Xu for being able to hold it and put it down, and continued his previous plea: "I would like to ask you to find someone in Xing City. Her name is Zhao Chenyang, her father is Zhao Qingyun, and her mother is Wei Meihua.

.”

When Xu Songling heard about this, he immediately patted his chest and confirmed: "I dare not say anything else, but finding people is the strength of our public security system. As long as the name is correct, as long as the person is still in Xing City, I will let him

Colleagues from the household registration department can help you search, and they can find it for you in as little as a week or as little as a month."

Zhao Xiangwan's hand holding the tea shook, and he felt a surge of excitement in his heart. His eyes could not hide the joy. Great, Zhao Chenyang, you imposter, I finally have a chance to catch you out!

Zhou Qiaoxiu was thoughtful, and when she saw Zhao Xiangwan's appearance, she couldn't help but ask: "Xiang Wan, who are you, Zhao Chenyang?"
