Chapter 98: Happy Birthday
In the small, fresh and girly room, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is lying on the bed, video chatting with her male girlfriend in front of her notebook.
"Xiaoxin, my mother has a birthday tomorrow, but I haven't thought about what birthday gift to give, you can help me come up with an idea!" The girl held her cheeks and looked sad.
"This, give a woman a gift, I also suggest incompetence!" Xiaoxin said helplessly, "You roar in your class group and let everyone help you come up with ideas." ”
"Don't mention it! I asked, either it lacks novelty or it is weird, those guys are so uncreative, how will they chase girls in the future? The girl scoffed.
"That's it, let me ask Chen Fan, this guy boasted to me a few days ago that he gave a special gift to his mother, and his mother was moved to tears."
"Really, ask quickly, ask quickly, online etc! Very urgent! ”
So Xiaoxin went to call......
It's off work. Deng Qiuyi rode an electric car back to the community, and when she parked the car and walked home, she suddenly felt exhausted.
Her husband is away on a long-term business trip, she has to go to work, and she has to take care of her rebellious daughter's study, growth, eating, drinking, and Lazar. There is a lot of pressure at work, her daughter doesn't have to work hard, and she is impatient when she supervises too much, and the mother and daughter have no less quarrels.
My daughter is about to enter the third year of junior high school, and the high school entrance examination is imminent. But her daughter has no sense of urgency at all, and she resolutely refuses to make up classes during the summer vacation, and chats and plays games on the Internet all day long. Deng Qiuyi can't help it no matter how anxious she is, she has to go to work during the day, and she has no time to care about her daughter.
What's the more money you make? If you don't train your daughter well, you won't be able to get into a good high school, and no amount of money will make up for your regrets!
The family's economic conditions are acceptable, perhaps, I should quit my job and concentrate on tutoring my daughter?
Deng Qiuyi struggled in her heart, making a painful choice between work and her daughter's future, while opening the door of the house.
A cold air rushed into the face. Deng Qiuyi was surprised, her daughter, who used to hide in the room and play on the computer all day, changed to the living room to watch TV?
Deng Qiuyi changed her shoes and walked through the hallway, her eyes swept the living room, and she was stunned.
What a neat, refreshing and clean living room!
The sofas, TV cabinets, decorative shelves, and even the dining room that used to be a mess of the past have all been renovated and neatly organized. The dining table is even more neat and refreshing, with a large bouquet of pink carnations inserted in a transparent glass vase, fresh and vigorous, fragrant. Next to the vase is a cake box about eight inches long, with a purple ribbon tied to it.
That's it...... It's my birthday!
Seeing the cake box, Deng Qiuyi suddenly realized. Tired all day long, she had already forgotten her birthday and moved to the clouds.
This...... Who did all this? Could it be that the child's father is back? Where is he? What about father and daughter?
Deng Qiuyi was stunned on the spot.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of her daughter Xiaoqing's room, and Xiaoqing poked her head out in a ghostly manner.
"My mom is back!" Xiaoqing shouted.
Then, there was a sound in Xiaoqing's room, and soon Xiaoqing took the lead and walked out, with her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "Mom, happy birthday!" ”
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you......" She was followed by three friends, and the four of them sang the birthday song together.
"You...... You ......" Deng Qiuyi burst into tears in her eyes.
"Mom, you go to work every day and take care of me! You've done a great job! Xiaoqing walked up to Deng Qiuyi with a smile, stretched out her hands in front of her, and held a thing, "This is a gift I bought for you with my pocket money, I hope to reduce the burden for you!" ”
A hard voice suddenly touched Deng Qiuyi's tears. It turns out that the daughter who is extremely rebellious and willful in her own mind understands and considerates her mother! She's sensible!
Deng Qiuyi wiped her eyes, took her daughter's gift with a smile, and said, "What kind of gift?" ”
"It's a cleaning artifact! It can clean sofas, curtains, kitchens, bulky items, and is definitely a good helper for housework! Xiaoqing said excitedly, "And it's very simple and convenient to use, just spray it!" ”
"We tried it ourselves! Really easy to use! "The friends have helped.
"We used it to help Xiaoqing finish the cleaning at home!"
"With it, housework is no longer scary! We're going to buy it too, and we're going to help mom with the housework! Moved mom to cry! ”
"You're all good boys!" Deng Qiuyi laughed happily. Regardless of whether this thing is really magical or not, the starting point of my daughter's gift is to reduce the burden of housework, and she really understands what she needs, and this heart is more precious than any gift!
"It's amazing, my mother will have the opportunity to experience it in the future! Now shall we light birthday candles? Xiaoqing smiled.
Then, she shouted to a little friend: "Xiaoxin, the live video is up!" ”
"Great!" The tall and thin Xiaoxin agreed, took out the tablet and put it on the wine cabinet, aligned the position of the table, adjusted the view, and finally dialed the video connection request.
Soon, Xiaoqing's father appeared on the tablet.
"Qiu Yi, happy birthday! You've done a great job! Du Yifan said softly.
Deng Qiuyi's tears fell again. It turns out that his hard work can be seen by his family!
"Don't cry! In a little more than a month, after completing this project, I will be back! Du Yifan said apologetically.
Deng Qiuyi nodded with tears in her eyes. She felt like she was going through the two heavens of ice and fire at the moment. On the one hand, all the fatigue and pressure are turned into tears and released; On the other hand, I feel that I am surrounded by great happiness, and the whole person is about to fly.
The rebellious and willful daughter not only remembers her birthday, but also takes the initiative to do housework, buy cakes, buy flowers, and give gifts! I also came up with a way to let my husband, who is thousands of miles away, celebrate his birthday with him in the video!
What a sensible and attentive child!
"Mom, come and make a wish to blow the cake!" Xiaoqing and her friends have unpacked the package and inserted the candles.
Deng Qiuyi hurriedly wiped away her tears and blew out the candles.
"Auntie, you haven't made a wish yet!" Xiaoxin reminder.
Deng Qiuyi smiled, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and said in her heart: "I wish my daughter and husband good health forever; Wishing our family a speedy reunion! ”
Then, with a single breath, she extinguished all three candles.
"Oh, I wish my mother Ben Si's age Ben San's heart!" Xiaoqing smiled.
"I wish Auntie Chinese New Year's Eve today and eighteen next year!" A little friend said.
"Hey, don't tamper with the greetings at will! I wish my aunt eighteen this year and twenty next year! ”
"Haha, you're the one who changed it, what a nondescript ......"
"I wish my wife to grow younger and younger, and grow more and more beautiful!" Du Yifan also shouted loudly in the video.
"Thank you! Thank you! Deng Qiuyi said with red eyes.
"Shall we eat first or shall we eat cake first?" Xiaoqing said with a grin.
"You eat the cake first, I'll cook!" Deng Qiuyi hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.
"No, you don't! Look at me! Xiaoqing grabbed her mother, and then high-fived loudly, "Friends, serve the food!" ”
Serving? Deng Qiuyi was stunned, could it be that her daughter still made the dishes by herself?
After Xiaoqing gave an order, the three friends rushed to the kitchen again, and soon one of them came out with a plate.
"Squirrel Guiyu!"
"Stir-fried yellow beef!"
"Burnt salt pork ribs!"
Xiaoqing is responsible for reporting the name of the dish.
No way? Squirrel Guiyu has been made? Deng Qiuyi's mouth opened wide.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, Mom, it's all the dishes I ordered from the hotel!" Xiaoqing smiled and explained, "How can I work hard for my mother to cook today!" ”
Deng Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief. My daughter can really make a squirrel osmanthus fish, and she is really scared to death!
As he spoke, the second dish came out again.
"Boiled shrimp!"
"Pine nut corn!"
……
In the end, six dishes, two soups and two main dishes were served.
All the dishes are in good condition, and the color and flavor are not affected because they are delivered to the door, and they are very appetizing at first glance. Moreover, all the dishes, soups, and pastries are all Deng Qiuyi's favorite food.
Deng Qiuyi felt like she wanted to shed tears again. It turns out that my daughter knows all about her preferences!
Before the dinner began, Xiaoqing approached Deng Qiuyi with a smile: "Mom, give me some change after dinner!" ”
"You said the other day that you have more than 3,000 deposits?" Deng Qiuyi wondered.
"yes, the dry cleaning liquid alone cost more than two thousand!" Xiaoqing said.
Then Deng Qiuyi really cried......
