It was Mum's 40th birthday, but she thought we had forgotten it. Dad 46. discussed quietly with my sister Mia and me in the kitchen. "Let's give her a 47. surprise," he said, showing us a small box. Inside was a silver necklace with a heart - shaped pendant (吊坠) — the one Mum had wished for years but 48. never bought.
We spent the whole afternoon 49. getting ready for the party. Mia drew a "Happy Birthday" poster while I baked a chocolate cake. Dad carefully 50. hid the necklace under Mum's pillow (枕头). When we heard her car pulling into the driveway, we 51. turned off the lights and held our breath.
"Surprise!" we shouted as Mum came in. Her eyes immediately filled with happy 52. tears. "I thought... I thought everyone has forgotten," she said, hugging each of us. During the dinner, Mia suddenly asked, "Did you check under your pillow, Mum?"
Mum returned 53. with the necklace in her hand. Her hand was shaking. "How did you...?" she asked. Dad smiled: "The girls had been saving their allowance (零花钱) for six months." Mum 54. put on the necklace, the pendant shining in the candlelight.
Before bedtime, Mum kissed us on our foreheads. "This isn't just a necklace," she said softly. "It's a reminder that 55. love is the real treasure of the family." That night, I heard Mum 56. singing a lullaby (摇篮曲) to Mia — something she hadn't done since we went to elementary school.
