Wang Dacheng and Hong Ximei got up as usual today. They got up in the morning and went to the farm to transport vegetables to sell at the entrance of the village. They chatted with the villagers about their daily life and listened to their praise of their son. It is the most important thing that couples cannot do without every day.
After selling the vegetables, he went to the farm to see if there was anything he could do to help. If there was nothing else, Wang Dacheng would usually spend an hour or two fishing by the fish pond, while Hong Ximei liked to spend time with Ah Aunt Cui, He Yuting and others chatted, and when it was almost noon, they went home to cook. Sometimes they would stay and eat in the cabin.
As for the afternoon, the two of them walked around. Wang Dacheng occasionally played mahjong, while Hong Ximei played sweaters at home, or sometimes went to the farm to see what there was to do.
Anyway, the days are going smoothly day by day. The only regret may be that there is not much to do. Most people there won't let two people do the work on the farm.
Today is Hong Ximei's birthday. The only difference from usual times is that Wang Dacheng personally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for Hong Ximei in the morning.
Rural people have never been too particular about birthdays, especially those who are older. They will choose a good day to hold a birthday party in the next year after they turn fifty. According to the saying in Jiangnan, it is to make up for the birthday. , then relatives and friends will come over and get together.
Like today, it was not an integer birthday, so Hong Ximei just treated it as a normal day and didn't even mention it to anyone. Fortunately, Wang Dacheng was willing to remember it, and he was already satisfied.
In this way, Hong Ximei never expected that anyone would celebrate her birthday.
Today, Hong Ximei and Wang Dacheng went to the farm. It was actually a bit strange. First, He Yuting refused to let Hong Ximei help in the kitchen, because she was afraid that she would see the birthday cake; second, the people on the farm today There were some similarities between the two of them; thirdly, Wang Dabao suddenly called them away, but nothing happened.
When Hong Ximei received the call from Wang Leshan, she and her husband were being dragged by Wang Dabao to chat at the entrance of the village, chatting here and there.
As soon as they heard that Wang Leshan told them to go home quickly, they said goodbye to Wang Dabao and went home without thinking about anything.
When they arrived home, they saw a lot of people in the house. Wang Dacheng and his wife glanced at each other, then quickened their pace and headed home, thinking something had happened.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw almost a dozen people standing in the house, all with smiles on their faces, and then they all heard: "Happy birthday!"
But Hong Ximei was stunned by what she heard, and she really didn’t react for a moment!
Wang Dacheng reacted first when he saw this. He laughed, touched Hong Ximei with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm celebrating your birthday!"
"Huh? Celebrate my birthday?"
Hong Ximei was still a little confused, but when she saw that the house was neatly decorated and there were things hanging on the walls, she finally believed it. She couldn't help but smile unaccustomedly and said thank you to everyone. , besides that, I really don’t know what to say, I can’t help it, I’ve never had a decent birthday before.
"Mom, my son, I wish you a happy birthday, may you be as blessed as the East China Sea, live as long as the Southern Mountains, and may you and your father be in good health and live a long life."
Wang Leshan bowed to the couple, said something with a smile, then pulled Bai Lu who was standing beside him, and said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, this is Lulu, my girlfriend. Today is your birthday, Mom." , I brought it to you specially, it can be regarded as a birthday gift to you. I just don’t know if you like it or not."
"ah?"
This time, not only Hong Ximei was stunned, but also Wang Dacheng looked a little dazed, and then both of their faces showed great joy.
"I like it, I like it, how can I not like it!"
Hong Ximei stared at Bai Lu for a long time. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful she felt. The smile on her face could really be said to be genuine.
He took a few steps forward and took Bai Lu's hand, looked at it again, shook his head in disbelief, and praised Bai Lu repeatedly, making Bai Lu's face turn red.
"This girl looks like she stepped out of a painting."
The smile on Hong Ximei's face was almost gone. How could she let go of Bai Lu's hand so easily? She was afraid that it was just a dream.
Nowadays, the family's life is getting better, and Shanzi's career is getting bigger and bigger. Everything is good, and he lacks nothing. The only thing missing is that Shanzi gets married and has children.
Long ago, Wang Leshan had used the excuse that he had a girlfriend to refuse the blind date and everyone to introduce him to a girlfriend. After making sure that Wang Leshan was not just an excuse, Hong Ximei was looking forward to it and looking forward to it. Yes, I finally got this girl today.
Hong Ximei knew that Wang Leshan's girlfriend had been dating since high school, and she was a person who knew everything about her. Hong Ximei thought that as long as Shanzi liked her, that would be fine. As for what her girlfriend looked like and other things, Hong Ximei really didn't have any requirements. She never thought that she would be such a beautiful girl. Hong Ximei was really happy!
As for Wang Dacheng, he was also very happy. He was smiling all over his face and was even proud. Look at our son, the girlfriend he found is beautiful!
"Hello aunt, happy birthday to you."
Bai Lu smiled obediently at Hong Ximei. Seeing that Wang Leshan's mother liked her, she was naturally happy, and she finally let go of her worries.
After saying this, he motioned to Wang Leshan to take the gift he had brought - he had no choice, his hand was still being held by Hong Ximei, so he couldn't take it out without leaving - and said to Hong Ximei: "Auntie, this is what I gave you. Birthday present. See if you like it."
The other hand took out a jade bracelet from the small box that Wang Leshan opened and put it on for Hong Ximei. He said happily: "Great, it just fits. I was always worried about the size before coming here."
"No, no, my daughter, this gift is too expensive, Auntie cannot accept it."
Hong Ximei saw that this bracelet was emerald green all over, as warm as water, with a strong layering of color, and it looked extremely good-looking. Although she didn’t know how good it was, she also knew that it must be a very precious thing. She was a peasant woman, not to mention an elder. For Naturally, my first reaction was not to accept such a valuable thing.
Seeing this, Bai Lu smiled and said: "This is a gift that my grandma and I picked out for you together. If you don't accept it, I can't explain it to my grandma."
Hearing this, Hong Ximei quickly asked, "Ah? Your grandma also knows about Leshan?"
Bai Lu nodded, her face red.
Wang Leshan took the words and said: "Mom, this is Lulu's intention, just accept it. If you don't accept it, Lulu will think you don't like her, and if you run away then, your son can It’s hard to find such a good girlfriend.”
"You kid are talking nonsense."
Hong Ximei glared at Wang Leshan and had no choice but to accept the emerald jade bracelet worth at least tens of millions, and then immediately took off the pearl bracelet she was wearing on her other hand and put it on On Bai Lu's wrist, he said: "This is the first time we met, and my aunt didn't have anything good to give you. This Shanzi gave it to me, and I will give it to you. Don't dislike it."
Seeing this, Bai Lu was filled with joy and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Hello, uncle."
Bai Lu asked Wang Leshan to bring another small box, opened it, and inside was an jade ring. She handed it to Wang Dacheng and said, "This ring and auntie's bracelet came from the same jade pit and were polished by the same master. Yes, they are a pair. I hope you like them, uncle."
Wang Dacheng accepted it, his face was full of joy, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "Daughter, my uncle only has a big gold chain bought by Shanzi. It seems a bit inappropriate to use it as a meeting gift. This I'm afraid my uncle will owe you the greeting gift first."
When Bai Lu heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled, finally understanding where Wang Leshan's sense of humor came from.
Bai Lu also brought other gifts here, but she didn't take them out for the time being. Today is Hong Ximei's birthday. As someone who frequently gives gifts, it's easy for her to take the priority. She plans to give them to everyone one by one after a while.
After Bai Lu finished giving the gifts, the rest of the people also gave gifts to Hong Ximei one by one. Fatty Li and Hong Qingqing gave a set of clothes together. Hong Deguang and his wife A Cui gave a few pairs of winter slippers made by themselves. Gongshu Yuanwen and Li Shao Si and others presented furniture, stone carvings, wood carvings and other objects made by themselves. Wang Dabao presented an electric foot bath bucket, Lei Guangzong presented the set of design drawings, and Fan Mingwei presented a set of top-notch kitchen utensils. …
What He Yuting gave as a gift was a picture of a hundred years of longevity embroidered with some silk threads of various colors that Wang Leshan had given her before.
Hong Ximei had never received so many gifts in her entire life. She was happy and embarrassed at the same time. She didn't know what to say, so she could only keep saying thank you.
"Shanzi, everyone has given gifts to aunt, but you are the only one who hasn't given one. Take it out quickly and let everyone see what rare treasure it is. It's too late to take it out." Fatty Li said with a smile from the side.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Wang Leshan.
Wang Leshan laughed, took Bai Lu's hand, and said, "I have already taken out my gift. Isn't Lulu the best gift for my mother?"
Everyone was speechless, obviously unable to refute Wang Leshan's words.
Bai Lu's face became increasingly red.
Wang Leshan looked at Wang Dacheng and asked with a smile: "Dad, you are the only one who has not given me a gift now. Are you not prepared?"
Wang Dacheng scratched his head and said with some guilt: "I cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for her this morning, should it be regarded as a gift?"
Seeing this, everyone laughed in unison: "It doesn't count."
"You guys are really good at hiding it. You kept me in the dark too. I didn't know there was such a big battle and I didn't prepare anything. I have to pay first."
Wang Dacheng sighed, glanced at Hong Ximei, and said, "I owe you two gifts for your birthday. Why is there such a big gap between you and me?"
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
