Chapter 34: Birthday

Seeing his mother and wife enter the door, Xu Dong hurriedly stepped forward to take the sack in Yang Lina's hand, this sack seems to be not light, and it is really heavy when he gets started, and he can't help but be curious:

"What's it, why is it so heavy?"

"It's potatoes, I bought twenty catties." Yang Lina replied casually.

"How... How do you buy so much at once? ”

Mother Xu turned her head and took the initiative to explain: "Recently, the price of vegetables has risen more ruthlessly, potatoes are durable, and you can save some money by buying more." ”

"You're old enough to get by!" Xu Dong smiled bitterly.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are foods he never wants to touch again in his life, after all, he ate them for nearly ten years in his previous life, not every day, but every meal.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time, after all, I was very happy to be full, but after being reborn, I don't know if it is the opposite of things, anyway, I will be sick to my stomach when I see it.

Mother Xu glared at her youngest son fiercely, what kind of person, shut up if you can't speak.

Xu Dong hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Yang Lina took the opportunity to raise the convenience bag in her hand and relieved her husband: "We also bought a treasure fish, braised at night, it must taste very good." ”

The dinner was very rich, there was fish and meat, and Xu Ma also chopped a whole air-dried goose to make a hot pot, although the goose meat was a little fat, but the taste was really great.

Full of wine and food, Xu Dong suddenly patted the table, which attracted everyone's attention at once.

"Ahem, Dad, Mom, Nana, I have an idea I want to discuss with you." Xu Dong looked at a few people and said.

"If you have something to say, say it!" Xu Ma is still always strong.

"Well, isn't it Coco and Lele's birthday the day after tomorrow, I want to throw a party for the two of them at home."

"What...... Body? "Mother Xu didn't understand.

Yang Lina explained: "Mom, Dongzi is talking about a birthday party. ”

The Coco sisters are very happy, many students in the class have held parties, and they have also participated in a few parties with good classmates, so they naturally want to have their own parties.

"Is this necessary?"

After all, Xu Ma is a person who is used to saving, and she has always been unimpressed with such bells and whistles.

The twins' faces fell.

Xu Dong immediately persuaded: "Mom, many of the classmates in their class have held birthday parties, but if our family doesn't hold them, isn't it a shame for your granddaughter, and the two of them may be excluded by their classmates because of this." ”

"And that kind of statement?" Mother Xu was stunned.

Yang Lina assisted: "Mom, it's really possible, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to hold a banquet, so why don't you hold one?" ”

"Grandma......" Lele grabbed Xu's mother's arm and said coquettishly.

Coco grabbed Xu's father's arm in a similar way:

"Grandpa is the best! Grandpa......"

Dad Xu immediately surrendered, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't shake it, it's not okay for grandpa to approve!" ”

Seeing that the whole family agreed, Xu's mother also agreed, and the birthday party was scheduled for the evening of April 10.

……

In a blink of an eye, April 10 arrived, and from two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ma and Yang Lina began to deal with the ingredients needed for the birthday party.

Xu Dong specially found streamers and balloons and decorated the courtyard a little, so that the atmosphere was there.

After school, before five o'clock, the Coco sisters came back with three classmates who were usually good.

The three classmates are a man and two women, and one of the female classmates has been to the courtyard a few times before, and they all know Xu's mother.

In addition to the three classmates, Xu's mother also invited Wang Xiujuan's family, but they haven't arrived yet.

The granddaughters celebrated their birthdays, and Xu's father also got off work early, and prepared birthday gifts for the two, which were two identical phone watches.

"Students are welcome to come to our home." Xu Dong stood in the courtyard with a smile and greeted him.

"Hello uncle!" Several of the classmates were very polite.

Xu Dong led everyone into the living room, turned on the TV, turned around and left, he was not an adult enough to play with children.

As soon as Xu Dong left, Coco picked up the snack box on the table and handed out snacks to the students.

"This one is delicious, I guarantee you haven't eaten it."

Everyone said it was delicious, and the male classmate said that he hadn't touched a snack for two months, which resonated with the other two female classmates.

"Don't you have money for snacks?" Lele asked curiously.

The male classmate pouted: "It's not that I don't have money, I can't buy it even if I have money, and it's already sold out in the supermarket." ”

"Lele, where did your snacks come from?" A female classmate then asked.

Lele thought for a while and explained: "My family used to open a convenience store, maybe the store sells the leftovers!" ”

In fact, all the snacks were purchased by Xu Dong in advance, adding up to more than 1,000 boxes, which is a very considerable amount.

After a while, Wang Xiujuan also arrived, accompanied by her daughter-in-law Zheng Yan, and her grandchildren, all of whom were all there except for the male host.

At half past five in the afternoon, the birthday banquet officially began, and the banquet was in the form of a buffet, and the dining place was under the grape trellis.

Xu Ma and Yang Lina made a total of ten dishes, namely potato and chicken nuggets, braised rabbit meat, braised goose, braised pomfret fish, stir-fried donkey meat, steamed ham, tomatoes mixed with sugar, stir-fried bacon with green peppers, stir-fried cabbage and kelp ham soup.

Drinks include red wine, beer, cola and orange juice.

The main dishes are rice and steamed dumplings.

Not to mention a few classmates in this formation, even Wang Xiujuan was stunned, now it is difficult to find meat in the market, I didn't expect it to be so rich here.

Even if their family has internal channels, they can only eat a meal of meat every two days, and the meat is less than half a catty.

"Lao Zhang, your family is really hidden!"

Mother Xu explained with a smile: "That's all there is left at home, didn't I sell air-dried chicken before, these are all leftovers." ”

Wang Xiujuan suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have really sold air-dried goods, and it was said that it was quite popular in nearby restaurants.

"No wonder! I said, "Why do you have so much meat?" ”

Originally, Wang Xiujuan wanted to take the opportunity to ask if she could spend money to buy some meat back, but she still didn't open her mouth after thinking about it, she was a good-looking person, and her skin was still not thick enough.

Xu Dong saw that the children couldn't wait with the plates, and hurriedly announced: "Don't say anything, let's start eating immediately, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

"Wow......"

The buffet lasted for more than an hour, all the food was wiped out, and the adults and children were all overwhelmed, drinking tea one by one with water cups.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Dong personally drove the three classmates home one by one, and each student also sent a large bag of snacks.

When she got home, Xu's mother was bidding farewell to Wang Xiujuan's family, and she seemed to be still shoehorning something into each other's hands.

After the guests left, Xu Dong immediately asked, "Mom, what did you send to Aunt Wang just now, such a big bag, won't it be all meat?" ”

"I want you to take care of it, my mother sends things for your own good, you just wait." Mother Xu said vaguely.

Xu Dong was confused when he heard it, why did he still have something to do with himself?
