Chapter 51: Celebrating Mama Li's Birthday
Li Cai returned home with the antique vases, jewelry necklaces and delicacies he bought.
Li Cai took the antique vase he bought for 200,000 yuan, put it on the dining table, and arranged flowers as a decorative bottle.
As for the birthday gift for Li's mother, a jade necklace, Li Cai was going to surprise Li's mother after dinner.
The truffles are stored in the refrigerator, and the caviar is specially packed in a vessel with ice to keep the caviar fresh, and it is eaten with bread when preparing breakfast.
Then he made a phone call to the chef invited by the family and told him: "Tonight is my mother's birthday, you have to work hard, prepare a little richly, and it is best to cook hometown food." ”
Li Cai's chef's name is Yao Xianpu, a chef specially invited by Li's father, who is proficient in Hunan cuisine, Fujian cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine.
Because Li's father and Li mother are used to eating Hunan cuisine, the chef invited to be able to cook Hunan cuisine, and Li Cai, in the cuisine that Chef Yao is good at, prefers Fujian cuisine, because Li Cai likes to drink soup, and Chinese soup in Fujian cuisine is the essence of it.
Because it was Li's mother's birthday, Li asked to make a table of hometown dishes, that is, Hunan cuisine.
Chef Yao listened and readily agreed, after all, a table of sumptuous Hunan dishes is very easy for a chef of his level.
Then Li Cai first called Li's father and said, "Dad, come back for dinner tonight, come back early, and have something to tell you." ”
In the past two years, Li's father has been busy with work and socializing every day, basically it is good to be at home for two days a week.
Dad Li listened to it, and immediately agreed to his precious son Li Cai's request.
In the office, Dad Li hung up the phone and said to the secretary Xiao Zhang: "You go and help me push the evening with Mr. Song, just say that there is an urgent matter at home, and I will go next time." ”
Secretary Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately responded: "I know, I'll call Mr. Song to explain immediately." ”
Dad Li began to speed up the work at hand and prepare to go home early.
As for Mama Li, she would work until late every day before coming back, so busy that she forgot that today was her birthday.
At six o'clock in the evening, Dad Li returned home.
Dad Li was very surprised when he saw a table of dishes on the table, which was different from the usual simple three dishes and one soup.
said to his son Li Cai: "What day is today, how did Chef Yao make so many dishes." ”
Li Cai was stunned for a moment, and then thought that maybe his father was too busy with work and forgot Li's mother's birthday, so he didn't pay attention to this trivial matter.
But Li is a single dog, and he has never been in love in his previous life, so he doesn't understand the relationship between husband and wife.
But know that a loving couple may forget their birthday, but they will never forget each other's birthday.
This also made Li Cai feel very regretful in the future, regretting that he couldn't find out the clues of the relationship between his parents earlier, so that he could solve this situation as soon as possible with the system.
Li Cai saw that Li's father forgot Li's mother's birthday, so he reminded: "Today is my mother's birthday, look, I have also prepared a special gift." ”
After speaking, Li took out the jade necklace he bought and showed it to Li's father.
Dad Li looked at the brightly colored jade necklace, Dad Li was stunned, as if he thought of something.
After a while, Dad Li said: "Oh, I'm so busy with work that I forgot that today is my wife's birthday, or my son is sensible and remembers your mother's birthday." ”
After finishing speaking, Dad Li remembered one more thing and asked Li how much money he spent.
Li Cai said honestly: "500,000." ”
Dad Li was stunned for a moment and said, "I only have 300,000 yuan in the bank card I gave you, where did you get the money to buy it." ”
Li Cai shrugged his shoulders and said, "My mother gave me the card that I won the prize money in the Go competition, I have won so many world championships and saved a lot of money." ”
Dad Li heard that it was the money from his son's competition bonus, so he didn't ask.
So he said to Li Cai: "Look, Dad forgot to buy a gift for Mom, or you will give me the jade necklace, and I will give it to your Mom for her birthday later." ”
Li Cai listened and said, "Then I won't have any gifts to give." ”
Dad Li smiled: "You are still young, you don't understand, you can only have your heart, but Dad doesn't believe it, otherwise you will be scolded by your mother." ”
Li Cai pursed his lips, rolled his eyes, and thought that he had no money to recharge his achievement points, so he happened to blackmail Li's father.
So Li Cai stretched out his hand and said, "One million, I'll give it to you." ”
When Dad Li heard this, he felt that his son had the potential to be a profiteer, and the jade necklace of 500,000 yuan would cost 1 million if he sold it to himself.
But Dad Li doesn't care, one million is already a small meaning for himself.
said to Li Cai: "Tomorrow I will call the bank card for you, you give me the gift first." ”
Li Cai listened and said in disbelief: "You have to remember!"
Dad Li was helpless and said, "When did you see Dad lied to you." ”
Li Cai thought about it, and did find that Dad Li had done everything he promised him, so he gave the jade necklace to Dad Li.
When it was seven o'clock, Li's mother returned home.
As soon as she opened the door, Li's mother heard a bang and was startled.
When I looked closely, I saw my husband and son holding firecrackers and starting to sing birthday songs.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. ”
Seeing this scene, Li's mother was very moved, thinking of the birthday she didn't remember, and her husband and son still remembered it.
Will come to the table, because after almost an hour, the food is cold.
But the family sat together warmly, although the meal was cold, but Li's mother's heart was indeed warm.
After dinner, Li Cai lit a candle on the birthday cake, and then asked Li's mother to make a wish.
Mama Li closed her eyes and began to make a wish.
Li's mother silently thought in her heart: "I hope the family is happy and healthy together." ”
After making a wish, Mama Li blew out the candle.
And Dad Li also took out the jade necklace that Li Cai bought at this time and brought it to Li's mother.
Seeing that Dad Li also prepared gifts, Mother Li felt very felt, and felt that Dad Li was so busy, and remembered to buy gifts for herself.
In the evening, Li Cai's family spent time in this happy environment.
And Li Cai also felt satisfied, feeling that in the past few years, everyone has been busy with their own affairs, and the family rarely chats and talks happily together.
After celebrating Li's mother's birthday, the home is not as deserted as usual.
After Li's mother's birthday passed, Li Cai got up and found that Li's father and Li mother had to go out to work early, and Li Cai was the only one at home, deserted.
Li Cai was also helpless, so he had to start busy with his own affairs and improve his Go theory and new layout.
……
The days passed quickly, and soon it was the semi-finals of the Chunlan Cup.
