Chapter 316: Mother's Birthday
The next day, for a whole day, Fang Qi and his father, Shi Qian, second aunt and others carried their mother behind their backs to arrange the birthday venue on the balcony on the roof, the walls were hung with colorful lanterns, the ground was sprinkled with flower petals, the potted plants planted by my mother were also carefully trimmed, and even the distant hotel would have a different kind of surprise. This was the first time he had celebrated his mother's birthday, and he put 200 percent of his energy into it.
More than 6 p.m., in the living room on the first floor.
Mom sits alone on the couch, playing her favorite soap opera on TV, in which the protagonist yells hysterically and stages scenes of joy and sorrow, but Mom has no interest in watching TV. The face is a little dull, today all day, my wife and son are not at home, just left a message early in the morning and played missing, saying that I went out to play, and I haven't come back yet, and I don't answer the phone. Hey, she didn't bother to cook, so she ate some leftover food from noon.
"Lao Fang is really, he doesn't call me when he goes to play. Mom sighed again, feeling a sense of loss in isolation.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the stairs behind her, her face changed, her eyes became vigilant, and she thought to herself, "There can't be a thief in the house, right?" She tiptoed to pick up the broom next to her, and hid in the corner waiting for the thief to appear.
As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he was faced with a broom stick hammered down his head, and a muffled sound sounded at the same time as his scream.
"Ouch!
"Thief, get out of here, or I'll kill you!"
"Thief? Where's the thief? Ouch ......"
My mother looked at it and found that it was the old man who had been missing all day, her eyes widened, and she quickly put down the broom stick in her hand and walked up to check if her wife was injured: "Why did this guy suddenly appear at home? I thought it was a thief who entered the house, and I didn't hurt you just now, right?"
"Out of the way, out of the way...... dad waved his hand.
Subsequently, Fang Qi, Chen Shiqian and others also came down from the stairs, and they happened to see this oolong, and they all held back a smile on their faces, but fortunately they were not the first to come down.
My mother also noticed the appearance of everyone, and was a little shocked in her heart, and then thought of a possibility, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that you haven't gone out at home all along?"
"Yes, we've been at home all the time, just to give you a big surprise!" said Dad, in an exaggerated tone, contrasting with his half-white hair.
"Surprise, why do you suddenly have to surprise me?" the old mother looked puzzled, obviously not remembering what day it was.
Everyone didn't remind him, and Dad said mysteriously: "Don't say so much, you just come with us, come on, come on, hurry up and close your eyes!"
"Lao Fang, how old are you, you still do things like a child, and you are too, just messing around with your father!" said the old mother with a roll of her eyes.
"Mom, you don't care about this, close your eyes quickly, we've been preparing for this surprise all day. Fang Qi said.
The son's words worked, although the mother was still full of doubts, but she still closed her eyes, and Fang Qi and her father each took one of her hands and led her to the open-air balcony on the roof of the villa.
"Now, Mom, you can open your eyes. ”
Mom slowly opened her eyes, and at the same time, the colorful lights hanging all over the balcony emitted a happy birthday song at the same time, and the hotel in the distance was also lit up, forming the four big words "Happy Birthday" between light and dark. Everyone stood next to my mother, clapping their hands and humming happy birthday songs together. My mother looked at the scene in front of her, and vaguely remembered that today seemed to be her birthday! Things that she didn't even remember, and they still remembered them......
She looked at the enthusiastic smiling faces, tears began to blur her eyes, her heart was full of emotion and warmth, she felt that this life was really worth it, and she was very satisfied with such a sensible son.
"You ......" she spoke, but she didn't know what to say, and finally a thousand words were condensed into only two words: "Thank you!"
Dad snapped his fingers, took out a big birthday cake from the corner, and said, "Dangdang! This specially customized birthday cake is exclusive to Ms. Cen Xia, I would like to congratulate you on your 48th birthday!"
"You ......" Mom was still moved and didn't know what to say.
Fang rolled his eyes, quietly walked to the corner and picked up the birthday gift he had prepared, brought it to his mother, and said, "Mom, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you, I hope you can like it!"
"Like, like, like. Mom said without even looking at it.
"Take it apart and take a look, I picked it for a long time before I chose this gift. Fang Qi had anticipation in his eyes.
"What kind of birthday present?"
"Oh, Mom, you'll know when you take it apart. ”
Mom secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, slowly opened the gift box, and finally revealed the birthday gift it contained, which was a leather jacket similar to a pillow.
"Mom, this is a fully automatic massage pillow, I know you have always had back pain, so I bought this for you, and when you are tired of doing housework at home, you will lie on the massage pillow and rest. Fang Qi explained with a smile.
The old mother took out the massage pillow, with amazement in her eyes, and said: "I didn't expect this thing to be there, my son is really too kind!
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's not much. ”
"Mom, I also have a gift for you!" Chen Shiqian on the side said loudly. Then, he ran to the corner and took out a pink gift box, ran back and put it in his mother's hand, expecting: "Mom, open it and take a look, do you like it or not." ”
"I like it, I like it, as long as it's your gift. Mom smiled from ear to ear.
The gift prepared by Chen Shiqian was a jade bracelet.
"I heard that jadeite can raise people, and it can strengthen the body and prolong life when carried on the body, so I prepared this gift for my mother. ”
"This bracelet won't be expensive, will it?" said my mother.
"It's not expensive, this bracelet didn't cost much. Chen Shiqian said with a smile.
At this time, Fang Xiaokou on the side raised his hand and said while jumping: "Aunt and aunt, I also have a gift!"
"Oh, what's a gift for Koko?"
Fang Xiaokou turned around to get his gift, handed it to his mother, and said, "Auntie, open it and take a look!"
"Good, good. Mom smiled from ear to ear, and began to open her third gift.
Fang Xiaokou's gift is a table lamp full of paper cranes, which have seven colors, and the combination is very beautiful, especially when the light is turned on, the paper cranes seem to come to life, and it is even more beautiful.
"Auntie, I'm not as rich as Brother Fang and Sister Shiqian, so I can only fold thousands of paper cranes by myself, this table lamp is made by myself, and it took me several nights!"
"Okay, good, my aunt likes it very much, I like ...... very much"
Subsequently, Lai Min and his second aunt also gave their own gifts, and even the old blind man gave him a pot of old wine that he cherished very much, and everyone expressed their cherishing of this family affection in their own way.
"Okay, the gifts are gone, and then we will move on to the next relief - cut the cake! I invite our Ms. Cen Xia, the absolute protagonist of tonight, to cut the cake herself!" Before Dad's words fell, applause rang out, Fang Qi put on a birthday hat for his mother, the lights around him dimmed, and the candles on the cake were lit.
"Before you cut the cake, make a wish. ”
Hearing this, my mother folded her hands, closed her eyes and said: "My wish is that the family is safe and sound, and Fang Qi and Shiqian can live happily for a lifetime." ”
"Oh, it doesn't work when you say it!" Fang Xiaokou's voice came.
Fang Qi raised his hand and put a fried chestnut on her head, so painful that her tears kept rolling in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Where are there so many rules, if you make a wish, you will definitely be able to come true!, right?"
"Yes, where are there so many rules!"
Fang Xiaokou also realized that she had said the wrong thing, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Auntie, I said the wrong thing, don't blame me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's been a long time since I've had a birthday, and I can't say it when I forgot to make a wish. The old mother said, beckoning everyone: "Okay, the cake is cut, everyone come and eat." ”
After eating the cake, everyone found that there were still a lot of cakes left, Fang Qi took a new impression, picked up a piece of cake with a wicked smile, walked behind the mother casually, and smeared the cake on the mother's face with a stroke of the hand.
"Ouch! what is this for!" came the mother's scream.
Fang Qi looked at the appearance of half of his mother's face covered with cakes, and laughed, at this moment, a black shadow appeared behind him, and Chen Shiqian wiped the cake in her hand on Fang Qi's face with a wicked smile. The laughter stopped abruptly, because of the laughter, the sudden cake almost choked him, and he felt the cold and greasy touch on his face, and he felt a depression in his heart.
"Hahaha......" Chen Shiqian's coquettish laughter broke out on the side. It's a pity that this sound didn't last long, and Fang Xiaokou repeated her old trick and smeared the cream on her face while Chen Shiqian was not paying attention.
For a while, screams and sighs were repeated, and the chase was accompanied by laughter and scolding. As the protagonist of the birthday party, the mother is miserable, everyone tries their best to smear the cake on her, her fat body itself is inflexible, often after being wiped with the cake before realizing it, after a long time, the body is full of cake crumbs and cream.
"You guys, it's too much!" said my mother, laughing angrily.
"Hahaha......" everyone burst into good-natured laughter.
Fang Qi and his father glanced at each other and nodded tacitly, both of them seeing the meaning in each other's eyes. Later, my father stood up and said, "Tonight's birthday party is coming to an end, but I still have one last big surprise to ......."
The old mother raised her eyebrows and said, "Old man, what surprise do you have?
Dad shrunk his neck and said a little flatteringly: "Wife, don't be angry! ”
