Chapter 20: Picking green onions
In order to attend their son's birthday banquet, Shi Xi and Wei Jiqing deliberately got off work early and rushed to the Lech Hotel.
The two of them walked around the hall first, and when they saw the photo wall, flowers, balloons, and large arches, they were speechless, and stood in silence in the center of the hall for a long time.
In the end, the two said in unison: "It's good if Mom is happy."
In the lounge, Su Su was tired of playing games when he watched Wei, so he sat on the sofa and played with balloons.
In fact, the main reason is that the fifth brother has played so many times and never won once, and she is embarrassed to hit the fifth brother's dish, so she can only follow him to echo the problem of teammates.
Alas, it's really hard to be a good sister who maintains her brother's self-esteem.
"Big baby, second baby, third baby, and Su Su's little baby-", Shi Xi came like water dripping in the oil pot, and the lounge immediately became lively.
Wei Shihe pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and called out to his mother calmly.
Wei Shiming grabbed the Lego bricks in his hand and shouted reluctantly.
Su Su jumped off the sofa and happily threw herself into Shi Xi's arms, and called out to the second aunt affectionately.
Only Wei Shiying was still immersed in the game, and his ears didn't hear what was going on outside the window.
Wei Jiqing, who was following his wife, frowned, strode forward and snatched the mobile phone from Wei Shiying's hand, and said in a serious voice, "Did your mother hear you talking?" ”。
"Dad, I'm going to die, I'm going to die-"
"Wei Shiying!".
Wei Shiying called out to his mother impatiently, and then he was about to grab his mobile phone, so anxious that he was about to cry, "Dad, if you don't give it to me, you're really going to die, you give it to me quickly."
Wei Jiqing took a deep breath, held back his temperament, and gave himself tips in his heart.
Today is this stinky boy's birthday, can't be angry, can't be angry, today he wants to be a kind father.
Although he said that, Wei Jiqing's eyes when he looked at Wei Shiying were extremely fierce, the kind that he couldn't wait to kick two feet and punch twice.
“……”。
Wei Shiying sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but take a step back, widening the distance between him and his father.
There is a murderous aura!
Just when Wei Shiying thought that he was going to be beaten today, he saw Wei Jiqing pick up his mobile phone to play a game for him, and he reversed the situation on the court in three or two clicks, and won in less than five minutes.
Wei Jiqing looked at Wei Shiying's often losing record, couldn't hold back the ridicule, cut it and then spit out a word, "dish".
After that—
"Phone confiscated!".
Wei Shiying glared in surprise, "......."
"Whoa, no, Dad, you might as well kill me if you take away my phone-".
When Wei Shiying and Wei Jiqing got into trouble, Shi Xi quietly left with Su Su.
"Su Su, is it okay to accompany the second aunt to fetch the birthday dinner for the fifth brother?"
Because the birthday party has a limited time, only the birthday cake is cut, and eggs and noodles are usually eaten before the party starts.
Su Su nodded and said happily, "Okay."
She likes to be busy before and after, because she will feel very happy.
Shi Xi led Su Su to the back kitchen, and the chef had already prepared the eggs and longevity noodles.
Shi Xi said goodbye to the chef and was about to go out with his things, but when he turned around, he saw Su Su frowning, staring at the noodles and puffing.
"Susu, what's wrong?".
Su Su raised his head, pointed to the green onions on the clear soup noodles and said: "The fifth brother doesn't eat green onions, and the fifth brother won't eat noodles if there are green onions, but how can you not eat noodles on your birthday."
Shi Xi was stunned for a moment, remembering that when he booked the hotel, he reminded the longevity noodles not to chop green onions, and it seemed that he forgot to remind the chef.
"It doesn't matter if you have chopped green onions, he will pick them himself when Xiao Wu eats them."
"But-".
Su Su wrinkled his brows, but the fifth brother wouldn't eat it if he saw the green onions.
She remembers that when she was eating at home, whenever there was a little green onion in the dish, the fifth brother would not move a single chopstick.
And longevity noodles are not ordinary dishes, you must eat longevity noodles on your birthday.
Su Su was struggling, and Shi Xi's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Hey, Dr. Sun—", she gestured to Su Su and went out to answer the phone.
After Su Su watched Shi Xi leave, he set his eyes on the bowl of longevity noodles with green onions.
His eyes were burning, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
However, when Shi Xi came back after the call, he saw Su Su kneeling on the stool and pouting his little buttocks, busy, a little curious.
"Susu, what are you doing?".
Shi Xi saw Su Su's movements clearly...... Try to hold the long chopsticks to pick up the green onions in the bowl.
Su Su didn't look up, and replied while picking up green onions: "Fifth brother doesn't like to eat green onions, I'll pick them out for him." I'm afraid that the fifth brother won't eat the green onion when he sees it, how can he not eat longevity noodles on his birthday."
Hearing this, Shi Xi's heart twisted, and his eyes swelled.
Su Su's little girl's mind is too delicate, so detailed that she is ashamed of herself.
Shi Xi touched Su Su's hair and said softly: "Su Su is not busy, let my brother pick it himself."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm almost done", Su Su picked up the last green onion in the bowl and put it on a small plate, and then carefully turned over the top layer of noodles in the bowl, for fear of breaking one and making the noodles sticky.
Su Su put down her chopsticks and breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Xi saw that fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she was distressed, so she couldn't find the paper and could only wipe her with the back of her hand, "Brother can do this kind of thing, Su Su doesn't need to do it for him."
Su Su laughed, revealing her cute little tiger teeth, "Brother has a birthday today, and I'm not tired of picking green onions."
Saying that, she saw the strawberry flower in Shi Xi's arms, and stared at it with wide eyes, "The flowers I ordered with my grandmother have also been delivered."
"It's so pretty—"
Ninety-nine large strawberries are wrapped in a bouquet of small yellow daisies, wrapped in white matte paper and sequinned wavy yarn, and the outermost layer is a large bow tied in champagne-colored silk.
"The fifth brother will definitely like such a beautiful strawberry flower", Su Su's eyes were bright, and she could imagine the fifth brother's happy appearance when he saw the flower.
However, as a mother, Shi Xi raised her eyebrows.
Strawberry Blossom ...... Xiao Wu doesn't know if she likes it or not, but he definitely likes strawberries, and it is estimated that he will be able to eat them without waiting for the birthday party to start.
The strawberry flowers were oversized, and Su Su had a little difficulty holding them, blocking his upper body and not being able to see the road clearly.
Shi Xi looked at Su Su, who was about to hold the strawberry flower, a little uneasy, "Su Su, can you see the way clearly?" Why don't you give the flowers to the second aunt, and the second aunt will help you get them."
Su Su thought about it, looked at the longevity noodles and eggs on the table again, and shook his head decisively.
The second aunt also has a lot of things in her hands, and she can't let the second aunt suffer easily for herself.
"Second aunt, I will follow you well, don't worry."
Shi Xi sighed helplessly, knowing that this little girl was stubborn and tough.
So she walked behind Su Su with longevity noodles and eggs uneasily, and saw her stop once after walking for a while, poking out her little head to look at the road in front of her and then walking.
It's slow, but it's steady.
