Chapter 35: The Birthday Party
Saturday was a rare sunny day, sunny and not very cold.
My sister He Feng arrived at less than ten o'clock, and she hadn't seen her sister for three months, and He Hansheng was very happy.
"Why didn't Sun Liang come?"
"He's not available, just me and Qingqing."
"Now in winter, it's a sin to sell vegetables outside. It's better to find a job. ”
"Just him, he has no culture or technology, and he can only work hard. Qingqing, this is uncle. ”
"Qingqing," He Hansheng whispered.
Qingqing is white and chubby, and it can be seen that her sister takes good care of the child.
"Jiejie, call Auntie."
"Jay Jie can walk, right?"
"I just know how to move, but I have to hold on to it, and I can't walk steadily."
"Can you talk, huh?"
"I'll call Mom and Dad. Teach a little, and be able to speak. Jie Jie, called aunt. ”
"Aunt" Jie Jie only said one word.
"Ugh." My sister happily agreed.
There is underfloor heating in the house, and the whole house is warm.
"It's nice upstairs." My sister couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister-in-law, I'll help you cook."
"Sister. Take good care of the children. I'll do that. ”
Soon, Jia Hao and Shamanti also arrived.
"Happy birthday, godson. This is a godfather's red envelope. Jia Hao gave Jiejie a red envelope.
Charmanti also gave Jiejie a red envelope.
"Sister, these are all my friends, this one is called Sister Xia, this one is also called brother, Jia Hao, Mandy, this is my sister He Feng." He Hansheng introduced it to everyone.
"By the way, Jia Hao, I can't leave, you can help me get the cake. This is the list, the Sift store on Hong Kong Road. ”
"Holo." Jia Hao took the car keys and went downstairs.
My sister saw that everyone else was giving red envelopes, so she took out 200 yuan in cash because she was not prepared.
"Brother, I didn't make a red envelope, and I don't need a red envelope." The younger sister gave the money to He Hansheng.
"Sister, no need."
"This is for the eldest nephew Jiejie, you must hold it."
He Hansheng had no choice but to accept it.
Soon, Jia Hao brought the cake back, and Charmanti also helped to make the dish.
A rare birthday party, everyone ate happily and happily.
After eating, Peng Jiahui cleaned up the table and brought out the cake.
Of the two crowns, Peng Jiahui gave one to Qingqing, and the other was worn on Jiejie's head.
He Hansheng chose a red candle and inserted it in the middle of the cake, and then took a lighter from under the coffee table and lit the candle.
Jia Hao turned off all the lights in the house.
Everyone gathered around the cake and sang a birthday song.
The candlelight reflected on everyone's face, happy and warm.
He Hansheng gently closed his eyes and made a wish for his son: in the days to come, he will be healthy, safe, happy and happy.
The candle was blown out, and Jia Hao turned on the lights again.
Peng Jiahui picked up the knife, cut the cake piece by piece, and then distributed it to everyone.
"Sister, I want a small one." Wu Xiaowen said that she was busy talking, and she was afraid of giving her a big block.
"How do you lose weight?"
"Hmm. Since getting married, I've gotten fatter day by day. ”
"When are you going to the United States?"
"Probably next month. Just wait for the visa. ”
"How many years has your husband's family been running a restaurant in the United States?"
"It's been three years. My parents-in-law used to run the business, but now that they are older, they are ready to let us run it. ”
"I envy you. He also went to the United States to open a store. ”
"Hehe, it's all stained with my husband's light."
"What should I do if I miss you in the future?"
"You can go to the United States, just wait for Jiejie to be older."
"Huh"
Peng Jiahui smiled, thinking that she couldn't even go out of her home now, let alone go abroad to the United States, it was simply an unattainable dream for her.
Everyone went back one after another, and because my sister was far away from home, it was inconvenient to go back, so I stayed and left tomorrow.
The red envelopes were all placed on the coffee table, and Jiejie grabbed one and tore it open.
Worried that Jie Jie would tear up the money, He Hansheng hurriedly snatched it over.
"It's heavy."
"How much?" Peng Jiahui asked.
"I'll see."
He Hansheng opened all the red envelopes. Jia Hao is two thousand, Charmanti is one thousand and five, and Wu Xiaowen is one thousand.
"Isn't it a bit too much?"
"Well, yes. However, they are all rich people. ”
"Keep all the accounts, and you will have to pay it back in the future."
"Hmm. That's right. ”
Qingqing was sleepy, and her sister put Qingqing to sleep in the small bedroom. Then, I made a phone call for more than ten minutes. Walked out of the small bedroom and went to the living room. It just so happened that He Hansheng was also there.
"Was it Sun Liang's call?"
"It's not."
"Is it Zeng Zhihang?"
"Hmm."
"Why are you still in contact with him!"
"Just make a phone call. Look at the person I'm looking for, what is it, what do you want? If you don't let me go to school and let you go to college, don't you only earn two thousand five a month? My sister began to cry.
"You, how do you know?" He Hansheng was very surprised, he didn't expect his sister to know his salary.
"Ge Dongju, is she from your company?"
He Hansheng finished listening to it, because he had been hiding from his wife that the salary was 3,000, but he didn't expect his sister to poke it out all of a sudden.
"It was during the internship, and now it's gone up." He Hansheng hurriedly lied and said, "Since you are already married and have children, don't contact him anymore." I'm not for your good, too. ”
"I know. is just to give in to your panic, a college student will earn two thousand five, and others will laugh at it when you say it. ”
"Okay, stop crying."
Late at night, He Hansheng turned off the TV and walked into the bedroom.
Although Peng Jiahui had already laid down, she hadn't slept yet. She heard He Hansheng's conversation with his sister.
"Two thousand five is two thousand five, why are you lying. The money is all in you, I don't usually ask, you shouldn't lie to me. The wife was a little angry.
"Wife, I'm sorry. Isn't it afraid that you will be sad? ”
"Sad? I regret it a little, why did I follow you blind at that time. Now I have eaten and drunk nothing. What a few days have passed? The wife also began to cry.
He Hansheng was silent, his heart sour. He felt sorry for his wife and was reluctant to let her shed tears. He was also forced to choose this low-paying job because he never found a suitable one. He has knowledge and ability, but there is no place for him. Now that my father is sick and needs money, I can't help but work and stay at home.
He Hansheng turned off the light and lay down, two tears flowed out instantly, and the constraints were like a knife, scraping his dignity and making him curl up in the world of inferiority.
The next day, because his sister was going back, He Hansheng went home after work at noon.
After eating, he dropped his sister off at the site.
"Sister, Sun Liang is very good, live a good life."
"By the way, Dad will have surgery in a few days, is the money enough?"
"I'll figure it out."
"We also saved 20,000 yuan, and I will transfer it to you when the time comes."
"Well, that's fine. Dad has spent 40,000 yuan by now, so health is more important than anything else. ”
"Yes. You also need to drink less alcohol and smoke less now. ”
"Well, I know. I don't usually smoke cigarettes. The car is coming, get on the bus. ”
"Well, brother, I'm leaving."
"Well, be careful on the road. Tell me when you're home. ”
The younger sister was gone, but He Hansheng was still standing there.
Indeed, I can't stand my sister a little. It was my sister who gave up her future to make herself jump out of the farm, and what did she give her sister? Nothing. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty and annoyed.
