Lu Qingqing only celebrated her birthday with her family, without throwing a grand birthday banquet.
Outsiders still thought Lu Qingqing's birthday was on December 28, which gave them a quiet space.
Separated by an ocean, and with the time difference, Lu Qingqing's parents called her before going to bed to wish her a happy birthday. They didn't prepare a birthday gift to send overseas, not feeling estranged at all.
Even in the past, when they celebrated their children's birthdays, they never prepared gifts, as their affections were all in the longevity noodles.
Although Lu Qingqing's circumstances are different now, they have not changed their long-standing habits, nor have they thought of comparing with the generous custom of Lu Qingqing's parents and in-laws who always send gifts on every festival.
Because her birthday was celebrated in the evening, the day was just like any other.
