Chapter 39: Birthday
As the days passed, Gu Yu's novel "The Martian" was also written for more than half of the time, and Deshan also entered the Olympic stadium to do the final practice, and she was very happy recently, because she could eat milk and bread every day.
And the days in the hutong are still the same, the aunts pick vegetables on the benches in the common area every day, drink, gossip, and look forward to the most when the children are out of school.
Sunwoo is always very close to his mother every time, saying words of concern, and will help pick vegetables, or pinch his mother's legs and shoulders.
Yihua is enthusiastically asking about Gu Yu's study and life every day, caring about this, caring about that, and the mother's love in her eyes is overflowing. Gu Yu also always chatted with her, and would make some jokes from time to time to make her happy.
Luo Meilan is very envious every time, but her son Zhenghuan still doesn't look close, he will only say hello simply, and he won't even say anything.
Alas, whether it's my own son or my godson, why can't I spread it.
"These dumplings are enough for three families." Ichika asked, looking at the dumplings that had already filled three trays.
"So much, our father Shanyu can eat hard." Seonyoung sighed on the side, remembering her deceased husband.
"Looks like he likes dumplings."
"Dumplings are second, the first has another favorite, rice wine, he can drink a bottle of rice wine every day, that doesn't cost much, eldest sister, you lend me 30,000 yuan first, I will pay you back next month."
"Okay."
Sunwoo's mother has no job, and the family of three can only rely on his father's monthly pension, so life is also very tight, and sometimes he has to turn around with his neighbors.
"By the way, so I see that Shanyu is about to have a birthday, isn't it the same day as Deshan?"
Ikwha slapped her cheek, and suddenly thought, Seonyoung nodded.
"Did you both do it the same day?" Luo Meilan also quipped.
"Oh, sister, what are you talking about, the pearl is still here, do you want to buy a birthday gift for Sunwoo?" Ichika was a little embarrassed, even though the children were so old.
"yes, what are you going to buy for him?" Shanying said a little distressed while wrapping the dumplings.
"yes, what do you want to buy for the children who are all grown up?"
"Zhenghuan, buy a pair of sneakers, I wasn't robbed before." Seonyoung said.
Luo Meilan's face was shocked when she heard it, and her face showed doubt and fear, her own child.
"Don't you know? Zhenghuan's sneakers were robbed, big sister. ”
"Oh my God, when, by whom?" Ichika also found out about this and was surprised.
"Who else could it be, little bastard."
"Oh my God! We're almost in trouble! I guess I didn't get hurt. ”
Yihua sat aside and asked with concern, Luo Meilan was still in shock, her son didn't tell her anything about what happened, she still learned from her neighbors.
"I wasn't injured, Gu Yu happened to be passing by at that time, and he beat the two thugs away, and the robbed money was also returned, and several children forgot their shoes at that time and were robbed."
"Oh my God! Gu Yu? Gu Yu is not injured, this kid, how can he fight with the gangsters, is there anything wrong with him? . ”
Good guy, I'm scared of this substitution, Yihua heard that there was something about Gu Yu here, and hurriedly asked.
"It's fine, the children are afraid that you will be worried, so I didn't say anything."
Yihua patted her heart, and then she was relieved, Luo Meilan's face was not very good, in addition to worrying, there were some losses and self-blame.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive."
Shanying happened to be sitting in the direction that Gu Yu and them were coming from, Luo Meilan and Yihua also turned around, Luo Meilan looked down at her son's shoes, it was indeed not the new pair of Jordan that she bought before.
"Hello." Gu Yu and Zhenghuan greeted each other politely.
"Zhenghuan, Gu Yu, I'm tired from studying, go back and rest." Seonyoung said.
Zhenghuan entered the door after saying hello, while Gu Yu stopped and chatted with Yihua.
"Auntie, eat dumplings today, the wrapping is so beautiful, I want to eat a few more in the evening."
Yihua dropped the dumplings that had not been wrapped, quickly stood up, came to Gu Yu's side, and checked his whole body.
"Auntie, has something happened?"
Gu Yu was a little overwhelmed at this moment, looked at the worried look on Aunt Yihua's face, and asked suspiciously.
"You also asked me, how can you fight with the gangsters, fortunately, it's okay, Auntie knows that you want to help a friend, you can call the police, call someone, the gangsters may have knives on their bodies, if you have three long and two short, how can I be worthy of your parents."
Yihua said and spoke, tears came down, after this period of getting along, Yihua actually regarded Gu Yu as half a son.
"Auntie, it's me who is not good, I won't be in the future, you see, I'm fine, I used to practice martial arts."
Gu Yu hurriedly comforted, took out a tissue from his schoolbag and handed it to Yihua, someone cared, and felt warm in his heart, Luo Meilan and Shanying also persuaded together, and after a while, Yihua's mood also calmed down.
"You can't fight with others in the future, you know, Gu Yu." Yihua looked at Gu Yu seriously, wanting to get an affirmative answer.
"Yes, I know, Auntie, do you still want to make dumplings, I will also make dumplings, I'll wash my hands and help you together?"
"I don't need you, I'm tired, go back quickly."
Yihua persuaded Gu Yu to go home to rest, and she almost cried when she looked at Gu Yu's back.
"You really treat Gu Yu as your own child, it's good, this child is sensible, and he knows gratitude, and he will have a great future in the future." Luo Meilan handed Yihua another piece of paper.
"I hope the children are safe."
Gu Yu returned home and continued to write literary novels, Donglong suddenly came to the door and said that he was invited to dinner, and his brother gave him a few coupons for the working restaurant.
"Gu Yu, you won't be so unrighteous, right?"
Donglong has been stalking for almost half an hour, and now he put on an expression of "I only have you", to be honest, Gu Yuyou was disgusted, there was no way, so he went to talk to Aunt Yihua, and went out with Donglong.
Gu Yu opened his eyes today, steak with kimchi and rice, it is really a combination of Chinese and Western, and today's dinner at Deshan's house is fried chicken sent by the host upstairs.
Deshan's sorrow as the second daughter, she didn't get the chicken legs, although she has been used to it for so many years, she still feels sad in her heart.
The family was eating fried chicken while watching the news of the Olympic Games, and saw that the reporter interviewed the Soviet Union's Miss Platon, and Deshan also proudly said that he would be interviewed tomorrow.
However, soon, because of Paula's ridicule, the two sisters scuffled together, the relationship between the sisters is really good, I don't know if Gu Yu will have a headache in the future.
However, the next day, Deshan, as Madagascar's Miss Signage, was told in an interview with reporters that Madagascar announced its withdrawal from the Olympic Games.
For a while, Deshan was filled with disappointment and sadness, but he still expressed his support for the Olympics decently, but the suppressed emotions will always explode one day.
In the evening, the Deshan family and Gu Yu, a supernumerary member of the family, sang a happy birthday song for Paula, and there was a birthday cake on the table, as well as fried chicken, pork belly and other delicacies.
"Happy Birthday to You ~ Happy Birthday to You ~ Wishing Dear Paula ~ Happy Birthday to You ~"
"Blow it, blow out the candles."
"Oh~~Oh~~ Happy birthday!"
Paula was also very happy, lifted her glasses, blew out the candle for her 21st birthday, and Deshan was bitterly silent on the side.
After the eldest sister blows out the birthday candles, Sunset is about to cut the cake, but Cheng Dongyi holds her hand.
"Wait a minute, pull out three, Gu Yu, wait a minute."
Cheng Dongyi smiled at Gu Yu slightly embarrassed, and then re-lit the 18 candles, Deshan looked at all this, like a volcano before the eruption.
