On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I don't leave my relatives, and every family sleeps at home, chatting and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

The door of the Ning family's commissary was still open.

Ning Zaifu sat behind the cash register, leaned back, grabbed two empty walnuts with his left hand, gestured with his right hand, and hummed a little tune with the radio.

"Lao Ning, your daughter-in-law and son-in-law have come back to see you, where the little couple walks to the bridge, you go and pick it up." ”

After the man finished speaking, he laughed a few times, afraid that Ning Zaifu would throw something outside, so he hurriedly ran away.

It is said that raising children to prevent old age, as long as the raised daughter is married, it is like spilled water.

Whether it is the truth or a joke, for the Ning family, each accounts for half.

The old Ning Caixia married early, and since then, her roots have been completely rooted in her husband's house, ignoring and ignoring this mother's family thousands of miles away.

Even when the eldest died, Ning Caixia didn't go home to send her eldest brother, but on the phone she excused herself on the phone that there were too many things at home and she couldn't get away, and blamed her parents for not knowing that she felt sorry for her.

In the end, I lost a sentence: I'll go back another day, and then hung up the phone.

Ning Zaifu and Song Mei's good character and true temperament, no one in the town knows it, but they don't understand why the children of the two died early, and they went to prison without fighting, and the youngest was still a white-eyed wolf.

Everyone sighed that the two of them should be like other old people, when they reach their age, they can enjoy the joy of family, rather than the current state of life.

Outsiders have outsiders' sayings, Ning Zaifu and Song Mei are not annoyed or complaining, face the reality, let go of the past, and have the right to have no daughter.

Moreover, with such a sensible and intelligent granddaughter as Ning Jiayi, it was too late for them to be happy.

At this time, there was no music in the commissary, Ning Zaifu supported his chin with one hand, and his face was strained and thinking about things, thinking about why Ning Caixia came back.

A moment later.

Ning Caixia and her husband Zhang Yang stood at the entrance of the commissary.

The woman was carrying a carton of the worst milk in her hand, and she opened her mouth and smiled at the old father she hadn't seen for many years.

The man had a straight face, empty-handed, as if he owed him more than 100,000 yuan, and after being reminded by the woman, he shouted: "Old man." ”

Ning Zaifu sighed when he heard this, but he just moved his eyelids and turned his head to look elsewhere.

"Dad, why are your eyes so bad, we two big living people have been standing here for a long time, you squeaked, let's hurry up and go in and sit, it's weird outside!"

Ning Caixia didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke.

Ning Zaifu was distressed, not physically uncomfortable, but thinking about uncomfortable, he didn't say a word, got up and took the iron chain, pushed the two out of the way, locked the door of the commissary on the other hand, and then put his hands behind his back and walked home.

At this time, Ning Jiayi opened the window to breathe, and saw that Ning Zaifu had returned, and was about to shout "Grandpa" to find that there were two people following behind.

"Come out, old woman. ”

As soon as Song Mei heard the tone of her wife's speech, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly came out of the room.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as she asked, she had already caught a glimpse of Ning Caixia and Zhang Yang.

"Mom, let's come back to see you, this is a little bit of something for your second elder. ”

Song Mei has a small heart and a grudge against her child, but now that she has seen her, her feelings are not as good as those of her neighbors, she gritted her teeth and drove them away.

As everyone knows, Ning Caixia heard that this land is going to be developed and repaired, and in the future, this old house alone can be counted as a lot of money, the boss is gone, and the second child will have to come out for a while, she and her husband are here to please the old man and ask for money.

They didn't plan to leave!

During the Chinese New Year, Song Mei didn't want to make jokes, so she let the neighbors see the jokes, didn't care about them anymore, and helped Ning Jiayi's arm upstairs.

After that, for several days, it was obviously a family, except for Ning Caixia and Zhang Yang to talk, no one talked to them.

Even if the two of them find Ning Jiayi and say, Ning Jiayi will be dumb.

Because people who have never seen each other in previous years suddenly take great care of their grandparents and care about them.

Walking outside, if someone asks, Ning Caixia has been explaining how hard she has been living from beginning to end, and she wants to go home every day, but she can't pull away, and this time she finally got her wish.

Ning Jiayi thought it was strange, and he was particularly disgusted by the smile on their faces.

It's a good year, and now I don't have any taste of the New Year.

Ning Jia saw that Fu You was about to go to the school exam, but forgot that today was his birthday.

However, he has a notepad with the birthdays and preferences of each classmate, which used to be used to make new friends, but now he doesn't need it, but it also helps Fu You.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year today, discussing that the family had gone to visit relatives, he pretended to be unwell and stayed at home alone in order to cooperate with Fu You to make a birthday cake for Ning Jiayi.

Two men who knew almost nothing about cooking, but were overly confident, stood in the kitchen.

The kitchen felt offended.

Everything you need is laid out on a clean counter.

The two went back and forth to find an apron to change, after all, in their opinion: a cook, at least in terms of equipment and ingredients, should not be sloppy, this is more conducive to making an earth-shattering cake of ghosts and gods!

Oh, and there's a book of cake recipes.

On the page that was spread out, it was written in enlarged bold letters: The easiest way to make cakes.

At the beginning of everything, that's true.

Fu Yu is stuck in the hair processor.

"Discuss, you hurry up and take a look at Baidu on your mobile phone, what is the hair processor. ”

The discussion immediately slid off the phone, "Boss, it's a whipped cream machine, I don't seem to have it at home." ”

"You continue Baidu, what can be used instead. ”

"Egg beater. ”

"Hmm. This Fu You has heard of it, "Do you have it at home?"

"No, the only thing in my house is the one that peels garlic. ”

Fu You stared at the egg yolk and sugar in the bowl, and clenched his two chopsticks, "There's no way, I can only rely on my hands." ”

It took the two of them a total of fifteen minutes before and after, and finally the whole egg yolk was successfully beaten.

In the last step, pour it into a container and steam it over medium heat for 25 minutes.

That's what the book says, but when I opened the lid, I found that it was not a cake, but a "brick".

"Boss, did we make a mistake in that step, how did this cake become like this?"

Fu You wiped off the unwilling sweat and started over, even if he failed for the second time or the third time, he still persevered to the end, and finally steamed a decent cake.

"Bring some fruit from your fridge. ”

Fu You cut the mangoes, bananas, green apples and oranges and put them on a plate, and then after the cream was spread, he added color to the cake and arranged it with fruit.

Both of them couldn't believe that they could actually make a decent fruitcake through their hands.

"You don't mean that you have a lot of disposable bowls, chopsticks and cups in your house, take more and we'll take it to the Jiajia family to eat. ”

By this time it was already dark outside, and the chimneys of every house were beginning to smoke.

Fu You discussed until he stood at the door of Ningjia and saw a couple of men and women sitting at the door, and for a few seconds, Fu You wondered if he had made a mistake.

Obviously, no.

"Grandpa Ning, Grandma Song, plus one, which of you is at home?"

Fu You opened his throat and shouted.

Ning Jia pushed open the window when he heard the sound, and saw Fu You holding a cake box, discussing and standing below with a cloth bag, but he didn't speak, anyway, he ran downstairs quickly.

"Who is that?" Fu You glanced at Ning Caixia and asked Ning Jiayi.

"Nobody, you all come into the house and say, it's cold outside. ”

Ning Zaifu and Song Meike haven't forgotten what day it is, they are cooking longevity noodles for Ning Jia at this time, and they also add sliced sausages and very beautifully fried poached eggs.

As soon as she heard that the two children were also coming, Song Mei added meatballs and eggs.

Three bowls of hot noodles came out of the pot and were served by Ning Zaifu.

Ning Zaifu beckoned Fu You and discussed to sit down and eat, and when he turned around, he was surprised and delighted to see that there were more cakes on the table.

"Happy Birthday!"

"Happy birthday, Ningjiayi. ”

“......”

Ning Jiayi didn't know why the two of them knew their birthdays, and they were so happy that they didn't know what to say, so they only smiled at Fu You.

"Mom and Dad, where is our face? Anyway, we came all the way to see you, don't forget us because of our granddaughter's birthday!"

Ning Caixia was like a basin of cold water poured in, extinguishing Ning Jiayi's joy.

Ning Zaifu saw it, and still smiled at the children and said, "Today is the birthday of your life, let your friends go upstairs to celebrate for you, and grandpa will help you bring the cake." ”

If it weren't for the money and the house, Ning Caixia would have wanted to turn her face a long time ago, but at this moment, she still squeezed out a smile and called her husband to hurry into the house for dinner, nothing happened before the power.

"Mom and Dad, you eat more meat. ”

"This dish is getting better and better every day, Mom, you can teach me another day." ”

"Dad, don't keep a straight face, this New Year's Day, how ugly it is, let the neighbors look at it, and think our family is ......"

Ning Zaifu put down his chopsticks with a "snap".

"Even if you say it, the people outside will know how you Ning Caixia is to our family!?"

"Dad, this is what you started with!" Ning Caixia couldn't help it, and put down her chopsticks, "Don't you just complain that my eldest brother didn't come home to take a look when he left, how many times have I told you, I have something to do, I really can't come back!"

I got married when I was 20 years old, and the girls were still in school, and I had already started to do laundry, cook, and serve my in-laws at home. If you don't feel distressed, forget it, and always blame me.

Growing up, I'm the one who should be complaining! Mom and Dad, don't go too far!"

Song Mei sneered.

"We went too far? We didn't say anything, but you were wronged first? Who didn't have the heart to study and wanted to drop out of school? Who wanted to marry to another province to die or live!

If you don't say anything, it's fine, but if you want to blame us, you can touch your conscience first!"

"Mom, that's not what you said, if you weren't biased with Dad, would I not be motivated?"

Ning Zaifu patted the table: "You try to talk nonsense again!?"

Ning Caixia suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore, pulled her husband's clothes under the table, and the two of them slipped into the room.

"Old woman, are you feeling unwell again?"

Song Mei gritted her teeth and shook her head, "It's okay, you go upstairs to take a look, I hope they don't hear us arguing." ”
