Chapter 15: Birthday Presents

In the afternoon of the same day, my mother specially took a two-hour leave to come back in advance to cook, not only Zhang Zhao's favorite yellow croaker and fried eggplant box, but also let my grandmother stew a pot of Liaoxi's specialty, bean pancakes!

Different from the general oil pancakes, the cakes here are similar to the method of mille-feuille, with meat oil layered together, and then directly spread into the iron pot of potato stewed beans, on the cake with chopsticks to prick a few breathable eyes, after a while, the whole cake will be pasted with a layer of sauce color......

Dad also came back early, and bought a 6-inch small birthday cake at the time-honored dim sum shop Yifahe. In this era, there is no custom cake service, and the birthday cake made in advance only has the words happy birthday, and the cream used for decorating is still hard cream, but such a small cake costs 5 yuan, which is equivalent to 1/10 of my mother's monthly salary.

When it was almost time to get off work, my aunt didn't rush back from self-study class, and she was carrying a thick set of comic books as thick as a dictionary "The Romance of the Gods". This is published by the People's Fine Arts Publishing House, a full set of 15 books, which is the first time in Zhang Zhao's life that he has come into contact with Chinese myths and stories other than monkeys. The painting can also be called exquisite, and the only thing worth criticizing is that there are too many deletions, so that Zhang Zhao has always thought that Erlang God Yang Jian is the most powerful person in the god list.......

"Ruiping, why did you buy such an expensive thing for your child? How much is it, sister-in-law will give it to you! ”

My aunt excused herself: "Oh, what is it to buy some gifts for my children, I am also paid to go to school now, and I don't have any expenses, so let my nephew help me spend some." ”

While a few people were talking, the sudden sound of the motorcycle came from far to near, and then stopped abruptly. The second uncle walked in with the second brother pushing the door and said, "Where's the big head?" Let's see what gifts the second big has brought you?"

Zhang Zhao walked out and said, "Second uncle, second brother, you are here." ”

The second brother's name is Zhang Jun, two years older than Zhang Zhao, tall and fat, and in the first grade of primary school. I went to summer camp during the summer vacation and came back the day before yesterday. He took out a birthday card and handed it over and said, "Little brother, for you, happy birthday!" ”

"Thank you, second brother!" Zhang Zhao opened the greeting card, uh, the crooked words Happy Birthday are not much stronger than Zhang Zhao.

The second uncle casually took out a paper bag containing photos in his pocket and said, "The monkey ticket you want, this thing is really hard to find, and it took a friend in the post office to find a large one in the warehouse in the city." ”

Zhang Zhao was overjoyed at first, and he really saw the miracle of a million-fold increase in the value of Chinese philatelic history, and there was more than one. But when he heard the words behind him, he looked at the palm-sized paper bag with a one-inch photo in his hand and said in a trembling voice: "Second uncle, what you found was a full-page monkey ticket?" And then cut it out? ”

The second uncle nodded and said, "Yes, there is a fairly wide white paper edge on it, it is difficult to pull it up, and it took your second brother and me about 10 minutes to cut it all." ”

MMP, MMP, MMP, important things were said three times, and the joy of getting the monkey ticket disappeared in an instant, and Zhang Zhao even had the heart to cry to death. Second uncle, you pulled a Land Rover in ten minutes, do you know?

"Thank you, second uncle, I will save this stamp for you, and I will return it to you when it appreciates!" Zhang Zhao's heart was dripping blood, and the black monkey on the red stamp didn't feel so cute anymore.

The second uncle said: "This stamp is only 6 yuan and 4 cents in total, even if it appreciates, how much can it be worth?" ”

Zhang Zhao was no longer able to complain, he decided to keep these monkey tickets for 30 years, and then return them to the second uncle when the full-page ticket is worth 1.5 million and a single ticket is only worth 8,000 in 16 years, so that he can experience his current mood......

Not long after, my grandfather came back, and when he saw so many people, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the holiday today, why is Credit Suisse here too?" ”

Grandma complained: "You don't remember the birthdays of your third grandson?" It's been confusing all day! ”

Grandpa smiled, didn't think it was wrong, turned around and sat on the bed by the table, regardless of whether others were seated or not, picked up the chopsticks and ate.

Grandma said: "Old thing, you eat slowly, there are still two dishes that have not been served." ”

Grandpa ignored it completely, finished his meal by himself, put on his shoes and walked out.

My aunt smiled and said, "Dad, are you going to work again?" ”

Zhang Jun echoed: "Grandpa, you work two shifts a day, others pay you for your work during the day, and you pay others for playing mahjong at night." ”

Before the grandfather could speak, the second uncle glared at Zhang Jun dissatisfiedly and said, "Shut up for me!" What your grandfather does is up to you to compare and compare, and if you have the time to read more books, look at the two * points you took the test! ”

Zhang Jun was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, but his aunt persuaded: "Second brother, Zhang Jun is just joking with our father, why should he be so serious?" ”

The second uncle said: "You too, as a child, how can you speak ill of your parents casually?" No kidding! ”

Grandma said roundly: "Okay, Credit Suisse, you don't have to say a word, today my second grandson and third grandson are here, Ruiping, you go to the store to buy two bottles of champagne!" ”

My aunt answered, and went out with a basket, and after a while she carried two bottles of champagne and a bag of peanuts. The so-called small champagne is actually a soda made of saccharin and coloring, and this pink champagne and beer yellow barley beer are all the colors of Zhang Zhao's drinks when he was a child.

It didn't take long for my mother to serve the last stir-fry, and the whole family sat around the table, there were no birthday candles, but at this time, no one lacked candles, four finger-thick red candles were put on the lid of the cake box and lit, and my aunt sang a birthday song to Zhang Zhao. The second brother was staring at the cake while singing.

After that, it was time to eat the cake, the adults were all shallow, and Zhang Zhao was not too interested, at this time the cake was dry and hard, and the cream was very sweet, which did not meet his taste, so the rest of the cake went into Zhang Jun's stomach.

After eating, the second uncle and his father were still drinking, Zhang Zhao dragged the second brother who was still drinking drinks, and the two came to Zhang Zhao's house in the lower room together.

"Little brother, what are you looking for me, aren't you being bullied again and want to ask me for help?" Zhang Jun's eyes were a little fluttering, although he was tall and big, he was more honest than Zhang Zhao, and he didn't dare to fight back when he was beaten.

However, as an elder brother, he didn't want to lose face, every time Zhang Zhao asked for help, he would go back to the hard, and then the two brothers were beaten back together.

Zhang Zhao smiled: "No, second brother, I asked you to let you test the game!" ”

"Inside game?" Zhang Jun was naturally confused: "Can this game be divided into inside and outside?" ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Oh, it means letting you play in advance, you wait, I'll call Li Gang and Lin Zhiguang to come over." ”

Zhang Jun said: "Lin Zhiguang is okay, Li Gang don't call it, right?" "Yes, another one who was bullied out of the shadows by Li Gang.

"Second brother, you don't have to be afraid of him, now he is my little brother, don't dare to lose his temper!"

Zhang Jun watched Zhang Zhao walk out in disbelief, and walked in with Li Gang and the little tyrant Zhang Liang after a while.

Li Gang saw Zhang Jun raise his hand and was about to fight, but was stopped by Zhang Zhao's look. He said curtly: "I just scared him, I didn't plan to do it." ”

Zhang Zhao waved his hand and said: "Forget it, anyway, you remember one thing, you can make people afraid of you with your fists, but you will never be convinced!" ”

Li Gang nodded thoughtfully.

Zhang Liang said impatiently: "Didn't you say that there are new toys?" Hurry up and take it out, or I'll leave and delay my work! ”

"Alright, let's get started." Zhang Zhao opened the chessboard, the original rice paper was already tattered because of too many alterations, and the one he uses now is the back of a beautiful woman wall calendar from last year, and the photo on it is Wanwan star Tang Orchid, but Zhang Zhao has never known each other in his life.

"What's this, walking the maze?" Zhang Liang asked, seeing the lines and grids drawn on the paper.

"No, this is the most righteous game "Red Scarf Adventure", V1.07 version!" Zhang Zhao introduced the gameplay of the game, and several upgrades removed the stalks such as the Rongjia Horse Farm, and replaced them with prisons, hospitals, and playgrounds that are easier to understand, but the cheat index has risen in a straight line. He asked Dou Qiu to make various animals that would be placed on the map according to the difficulty, and because it was the first test, he only picked three.

Zhang Jun asked, "What happens if you encounter an animal on the map?" Will you go to the hospital if you are bitten by a dog? ”

Zhang Zhao said: "You will get a pet loyal dog, which can help you resist an accident other than returning to the starting point." ”

"What about the cat?" Li Gang asked, "The same effect?" ”

"No, you'll become a cat slave, and when the dice roll a 6, the shovel effect will be triggered, and you will stop for one turn!"

"What about snakes?" Zhang Liang asked, pointing to the last animal.

Zhang Zhao hurriedly put it away, the yellow eel is still hidden. He changed to a cow and said: "Stepping on a cow will trigger the BSE effect for three rounds, how many points to throw to walk in the opposite direction." ”

……

Under the guidance of Zhang Zhao, the four of them started the internal test of the pit dad game, and this time Zhang Zhao also began to go into battle, so he himself was also killed by the pit immortals. Until the dinner in the upper house was over, and the second uncle was about to take the second brother home, the game was not over.

In order to decide the winner, at Zhang Zhao's suggestion, several people rolled the dice to decide whether to win or lose, and then Zhang Jun was fortunate to win, but he couldn't see much joy. I knew what kind of chessboard was needed for such a decisive victory, wouldn't it be over if everyone played the dice directly?

After Zhang Jun left, the remaining two ran away without even saying hello, eh, leaving a psychological shadow? Where is this, people who haven't been cheated by the cat Leo, the stupid bird who hit the pipe, or the man series are too vulnerable......

Zhang Zhao packed up the chessboard and chess pieces, and his father and mother helped his grandmother clean up the dishes and chopsticks and returned home. My mother first took out an electronic watch and said that it was given by Aunt Lin next door. Then he took out the birthday gift that the two of them prepared for Zhang Zhao, a small electric police car, compared with last year's submachine gun, the workmanship of this police car is much more meticulous, the police lights have become red and blue, and you can turn when you hit an obstacle, and after driving for a while, you will stop and open the door.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Zhang Zhao and his parents arrived at Xie and said, "But now that I'm older, I don't need to buy me a birthday gift in the future, it's expensive and useless." ”

Zhang's mother touched Zhang Zhao's head dotingly and said, "Good son, you are really sensible!" You can say that your mother is very happy, but what is it for your son to give a gift on his birthday? ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Then don't give me toys next time, send me stamps." "In addition to the monkey stamps, Zhang Zhao doesn't remember which stamp is worth it, but the stamps in the eighties have risen dozens of times no matter how bad they are, so they must not be a loss.

Zhang's father said a little drunkly: "Okay, it's rare that my son still has to collect stamps, and your parents will definitely support you." "Well, the word philately seems to have been broken, but Zhang Zhao is powerless to complain, after all, he is still a junior!

Zhang Mu said: "Okay, I'll go to the post office another day to ask, it seems that you can directly book stamps for the whole year, right?" But, son, you're done with your birthday, so it's time for you to go to kindergarten tomorrow, right? ”

Zhang Zhao remembered the excuse he made last time: "You found Pisces Kindergarten?" I'm not going to Pisces Kindergarten! ”

Zhang Mu shook her head and said: "I haven't inquired about Pisces Kindergarten for a long time, but there is a similar Shuangfei Kindergarten, it should be the one you said, right?" ”

"What, Double Fly?" Zhang Zhao looked confused......
