Chapter 109: Happy Birthday
On New Year's Day, Lin Caiwei and her friends went to the vegetable market to buy pork ribs, local chicken, and carp before returning home after picking oranges. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although her father Lin Aiguo told her to do it simply, she couldn't do it casually, because today was her mother's birthday, and she was probably busy forgetting.
Carrying the dish, she went to the cake shop again, the cake was ordered by her before school yesterday, a ten-inch large cake, the surface was simply coated with a layer of cream, and a few flowers hooked out with cream came to life, and "Mom, I love you" was written with jam on it.
Such a big cake is only twenty-five yuan, which is really incomparable with the hundreds of cakes that came later.
There are some three-wheeled roof cars parked on the side of the road, which are unique to the town for civilian transportation, and you can pay two dollars.
If Lin Caiwei walked home with this pile of things, she was tired and time-consuming, so she found one casually, sat on it and reported the address.
The buzzing engine sounded, this kind of car was extremely noisy and bumpy, and the flesh on Lin Caiwei's face trembled.
Fortunately, it was cheap and convenient, and she arrived home in a few minutes, so she paid the money and began to pack up the ingredients when she got home.
Lin Caiwei decided to make yellow stewed chicken, steamed fish, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour tenderloin, a mushroom soup, the first four dishes are not good with various ingredients, and the cutting and stir-frying are very complicated, so she didn't get it until nearly eight o'clock.
She pinched the time very accurately, and within a few minutes of the dish being ready, she heard the sound of the engine, and Guan Lanfen and Lin Aiguo came back.
"It's so fragrant, what delicious food Weiwei made, it's too cold this weather", Guan Lanfen said and took off the hat on her head and the scarf around her neck.
It was already cold on this day, and it was even colder as soon as the car drove on the way back, and she poured a cold wind into her stomach.
Lin Caiwei smiled and took the hat and scarf, hung them up, and went to give them a basin of hot water to wash their hands.
After the meal was served, he threw a hot water bottle filled with hot water for his parents.
Holding the hot water bottle in their arms and drinking a bowl of mushroom soup, Lin Aiguo and Guan Lanfen warmed up and couldn't help but feel better.
Looking at a table of sumptuous meals, Guan Lanfen couldn't help complaining, "Weiwei, didn't your father tell you to do it casually, how tiring it is for you to make such a table by yourself." ”
"Ouch mom, you eat more, you see that you have lost a lot of weight, my father and I are distressed", Lin Caiwei disagreed, and smiled and sandwiched a piece of chicken for her mother.
Guan Lanfen blushed, glanced at her husband, and then glared at her daughter, "It's nonsense!"
Lin Aiguo didn't speak, he smiled, and also sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs for his wife.
A meal, eating very warmly, listening to her mother's nagging from time to time, her father occasionally interjected, Lin Caiwei is responsible for buying Mengmeng, anyway, no matter how old she is, she will always be the child of her parents, she will take advantage of her growing up to be spoiled with her parents and lack of love.
A large pot of hot water was boiled in the kitchen, and when Lin Caiwei saw that her parents had gone to take a bath, she quickly cleaned the table.
Put the cake on the table, put a candle in it, turn off the light, and wait quietly with a lighter in hand.
"Hey, why is the light in this patriotic hall out, is it broken, go in and take a look", Guan Lanfen walked in with a towel wrapped around her head and wearing clean clothes.
But just as they were about to see if the lamp was broken, they saw a little firelight appear in the darkness, one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, and Lin Caiwei's face gradually became clear in the firelight.
The cake naturally showed its outline, and the husband and wife who watched this scene were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know what their daughter was messing with.
Until......
"Happy Birthday Mom!"
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, wishing you ..."
In the dark, in the warm orange firelight, the small flames swayed, reflecting Lin Caiwei's delicate and lovely facial features, and the immature and crisp children's voices sang in the quiet and cold night.
Guan Lanfen was stunned when she heard her mother's happy birthday, she had long forgotten her birthday, how could their generation have a birthday, except for one at the age of eighteen, it has never been there.
The atmosphere was too touching and beautiful, all of which made Guan Lanfen cover her mouth and burst into tears, surprised, moved and heartwarmed.
Lin Aiguo stretched out his arm and patted Guan Lanfen on the shoulder, his heart was also full of emotion, his nose was sore, he wanted to cry as a big man, let alone his wife.
"Mom, come and make a wish", Lin Caiwei smiled and urged softly, if her mother continued to cry, the candles would be burned out.
"Hey, good, good", Guan Lanfen wiped the tears on her face and hurriedly agreed.
In front of the table, Lin Caiwei patiently reminded, "Mom, you sit here, cross your fingers on your chest, close your eyes and make three wishes, you can choose to say two, keep one, and then blow out the candle."
Guan Lanfen still had tears on her eyelashes, and did as her daughter said, and said softly, "The first wish is that I hope that Weiwei will always be healthy and happy, and the second wish is that I hope that life at home will be better and better."
Her third unspoken wish is: I hope to give her husband another son without regrets.
I opened my eyes and blew out the candle.
At this time, Lin Caiwei also turned on the light, handed the cleaned plastic knife to her mother, and motioned her to cut the cake.
Now there is no need for her daughter to explain, Guan Lanfen also knows what to do, she cut the cake and handed it to Lin Caiwei with a smile.
"Mom, I can't finish eating, you want to feed me like a pig"
"Go, go, how can you say that about yourself, take it", Guan Lanfen said angrily.
She also cut a big piece of her husband, Lin Aiguo took it with a bitter face, he didn't dare to say no, he didn't like sweets.
cut a piece for herself, the family of three sat and talked while eating, and Lin Caiwei also took out the hair dryer she bought in Xicheng last time to blow her mother's hair herself.
Guan Lanfen sat there holding a piece of cake, feeling her daughter's little hand through her hair, and the happiness in her heart was about to overflow.
Lin Aiguo poured a few glasses of water into the cake after eating, and was stunned by the cake, men should eat meat, if only he had a cake made of meat for his birthday, thinking of this, his heart was sour, his daughter had never given it to him.
"Mom, you sit here and wait for a while", after speaking, Lin Caiwei slipped back to her room.
When I came out again, I had a beautifully packaged carton in my hand.
Lin Caiwei deliberately took a car to Xicheng on Saturday last week to buy a birthday gift for her mother, and even the cardboard box was found by her in most of Xicheng.
The carton contained a peach-colored tweed coat, a pearl-white turtleneck cashmere pullover, a beige plaid tweed skirt and a pair of short white leather boots.
She walked up to her mother and handed it over with a smile, "Mom, happy birthday, this is a gift." ”
The second surprise, Guan Lanfen was a little stunned, and there was a gift to receive, the first time in her life!
"Open it up and see if you like it", Lin Caiwei urged in a coquettish voice, looking at her mother expectantly.
Guan Lanfen reacted, took the box, opened the box and saw that it was a complete set of clothes folded by Lin Caiwei and a pair of white short leather boots lying quietly on the clothes, which were very beautiful!
Lin Aiguo, who was still sour just now, stretched out his head curiously to take a look, and his heart was even more sour, without my ......
Lin Caiwei saw her mother caressing her clothes and shoes lovingly, and she was very happy, three surprises!
She winced her eyebrows and encouraged, "Mom, go to your room and change into it." ”
"Isn't this the New Year's Eve to wear?"
"Who said that, put it on now, my dad and I want to see it"
Pulled her mother to the room, and there were light gray leggings that she had bought for a long time to wear with a checked skirt, and she ran all over Xicheng for this leggings, fortunately she went to high school there in her previous life, and she was familiar with it, otherwise it was really useless.
Put on a soft cashmere sweater, fiddle with a high neckline, and then put on a peach-colored solid woolen coat, the skirt is five centimeters above the belly, and the same color leggings are worn underneath, and then put on white leather boots, which echoes the pearl cashmere sweater above, which is perfect!
Lin Caiwei smiled proudly, her mother is already good-looking, she has a baby face, her skin is fair, the pink color is just right for her age, the pink color is too tender, the pink color highlights the unique femininity of her age, charming and moving, the checked skirt looks literary and retro, just like the heroine who came out of a Korean drama.
Guan Lanfen looked at herself in the mirror and widened her eyes in surprise, is this her?
I couldn't help but turn left and right, looking up and down, taking advantage of the peach, the paleness caused by recent fatigue also had a color, and it was beautiful.
But before going out, she hesitated, didn't know why she was facing her husband, she was a little shy.
Lin Caiwei pulled her mother directly into the hall, and Lin Aiguo, who was watching TV, turned his head and saw his wife at the door, and for a moment, he was stunned, and his heart beat like thunder.
When it was done, Lin Caiwei successfully retreated, quietly closed the door, and couldn't bear to disturb the affectionate eyes of the two outside. (To be continued.) )
