Chapter 515 Birthday!
Chapter 515 Birthday!
When Liang Ladi heard Jia Dongming ask why she was transferred to work in the steel mill, she instinctively looked at the children who were eating candy, and unconsciously revealed a kind expression on her face. She smiled and introduced Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! The machine repair factory is in the suburbs. Although there are schools there, there is still some gap compared to the schools in the city."
"It just so happened that the machine repair factory and the steel mill were merged, and the factory allowed us to freely choose whether to stay in the machine repair factory or transfer to the steel mill. Considering the future of my children, I chose to transfer to the steel mill. Facts have proved that my choice was right. The environment we live in now is many times better than our dormitory in the machine repair factory."
After hearing Liang Ladi's introduction, Jia Dongming finally understood why Liang Ladi was transferred from the machine repair factory to the steel rolling mill. Thinking of the value of a hukou in the future, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Liang Ladi, "Comrade Liang Ladi! I can tell you with certainty that your decision is undoubtedly correct. After all, there is still a certain gap between the environment in the suburbs and the city."
Since Jia Dongming was coming home to celebrate Xiu'er's birthday, Liang Ladi took out all the fine grains in the house and steamed eight white flour buns for dinner. She also used the pork belly that Jia Dongming gave her, boiled some lard, and fried a bowl of cabbage with the lard residue. She also cooked a bowl of braised pork with the remaining pork belly and fried a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds.
Jia Dongming, who was standing outside the kitchen, saw the dishes Liang Ladi cooked. He smiled and took out a few pounds of noodles and a dozen eggs from his cloth bag. He smiled and said to Liang Ladi, "Comrade Liang Ladi! Today is Xiu'er's birthday. According to the rules of our city, we should cook a bowl of longevity noodles for Xiu'er and add two poached eggs."
"Longevity noodles with poached eggs represent longevity and reunion. Longevity noodles symbolize longevity, health, longevity and happiness! Poached eggs represent reunion, symbolizing family harmony and happiness. I hope Xiuer can be healthy and happy!"
When Liang Ladi saw the noodles and eggs that Jia Dongming brought out, she remembered the pork belly that Jia Dongming had given her at noon, which made her instinctively want to refuse what Jia Dongming had given her. But when she heard what Jia Dongming said, Liang Ladi's heart was deeply touched. Tears could not stop flowing from her eyes, and she said to Jia Dongming with a choked voice: "Director Jia! Thank you!"
Dinner was soon ready. After Liang Ladi put all the ingredients on the table, she immediately called out to the four children who were standing outside the house waiting for dinner: "Children! Dinner is ready. Go wash your hands and come over to eat."
When the braised pork was cooked, the four children were already drooling at the aroma of the braised pork. When the children heard Liang Ladi's shout, they immediately cheered and ran towards the faucet.
Soon the four children washed their hands and ran into the house happily. When the children saw the dishes and steamed buns on the table, they were all very happy and sat down at the dining table in an orderly manner according to their usual seats.
After Liang Ladi waited for the children to come to the table, she smiled and said to the four children: "Children! Today is Xiu'er's birthday. Let's wish Xiu'er a happy birthday together."
"Xiu'er! Big brother wishes you a happy birthday and a long life!" Damao heard Liang Ladi's words and immediately expressed his blessing to Xiu'er who was sitting in Liang Ladi's arms.
"Xiu'er! Second brother wishes you to be happy every day! Be cheerful!" Ermao heard Damao's instructions to Xiu'er and immediately expressed his blessings to Xiu'er.
"Xiu'er! Third brother wishes you can celebrate your birthday every day in the future, so that third brother can also benefit from it and eat so many dishes." Sanmao was still young after all. When he saw the savory vegetables and white flour buns on the table, he swallowed his saliva and expressed his blessings to Xiu'er.
After seeing the three brothers express their blessings to Xiu'er, Jia Dongming took out a few red hair strings from his pocket and said to Xiu'er with a smile: "Xiu'er! Uncle is here, wishing you a happy birthday, being happy every day, and becoming a useful person for the country when you grow up." Liang Ladi, who was holding Xiu'er, saw the red hair string that Jia Dongming gave to her daughter, and then she remembered that the red hair string on her daughter's head was no longer usable, and hurriedly reminded Xiu'er: "Xiu'er! Hurry up and thank your uncle."
When Xiu'er heard Liang Ladi's reminder and saw the red hairband in Jia Dongming's hand, she happily said in a baby voice, "Thank you, uncle!"
After hearing Xiu'er's thanks to Jia Dongming, Liang Ladi immediately said to the three children sitting at the table: "Children! If it weren't for the dishes sent by uncle today, our Xiu'er's birthday wouldn't be so sumptuous. You must remember the kindness of uncle to you!"
When Damao heard Liang Ladi's reminder, he was the first to speak: "Mom! Uncle not only gave Xiu'er pork for her birthday, but he was also my lifesaver. Damao will remember this for the rest of his life and will take care of him until his death in the future."
When Jia Dongming heard Damao's words, especially the last part about taking care of him in his old age and seeing him off to the end of his life, he was lucky that he did not pick up his chopsticks to eat, otherwise the food in his mouth would have been spat out on the spot because of Damao's words.
Jia Dongming looked at Damao's expression, smiled, reached out and touched Damao's little head, and said to Damao with a smile: "Da Mao! Uncle is married and will have his own children in the future. You don't need to take care of uncle in his old age."
Because Jia Dongming still had to go to the factory, he ate something at Liang Ladi's house, then said goodbye to Liang Ladi and the children, saying that he had other things to do at the factory. Then, with the mother and her children watching him, he pushed his bicycle and left Liang Ladi's house.
If Liang Ladi still suspected at the beginning that Jia Dongming approached her and her son with the purpose of sleeping with her, now seeing that Jia Dongming simply ate a little and then rode away from their home on his bicycle, using the excuse of having something to do at the factory, Liang Ladi has completely believed that Jia Dongming really likes her children and only came to celebrate their birthdays.
After Jia Dongming's car disappeared from sight, Liang Ladi said to her four children in a serious tone, "Children! You must remember how good Uncle Jia is to you. When you grow up, you must repay Uncle Jia for his help to our family."
"Especially you, Damao. If Uncle Jia hadn't saved you that day and sent you to the infirmary in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. So you must remember Uncle Jia's life-saving grace."
After hearing Liang Ladi's advice, the four brothers and sisters of Damao said that they would remember Jia Dongming's kindness to them forever.
