Homemade ice cream for a birthday, this was probably the most special gift she had received today. It involuntarily made her think of the birthday noodles Shen Juanzhi used to cook for her when he was little.
During the period just after moving out from the Shen family, Shen Juanzhi invested all his money into a startup. Back then, he couldn't even afford a decent house, so the father and daughter had to squeeze into a tiny rental. Shen Juanzhi would take her with him to work every day; even during the hardest times, he never thought of leaving her in someone else's care.
Luckily, the company started picking up, and the father and daughter's living conditions improved significantly — they not only bought a larger house, but they also hired a nanny specifically to take care of her.
But one thing stayed the same: each year, Shen Juanzhi would personally cook her birthday noodles.
When she was little, her birthday noodles were always sweet, as he would always mistake sugar for salt.
