Chapter 585 Banggeng’s birthday!
Chapter 585 Banggeng’s birthday!
Jia Dongming pushed his bicycle back to the villa. When Jia Zhang saw Jia Dongming coming back, she immediately walked up to him and introduced him to him with a gossipy look on her face: "Dongming! Have you heard? Today, Yi Zhonghai, the old man with no money, went to the welfare home to adopt a pair of siblings?"
When Jia Dongming heard the news that Jia Zhang had told him and saw the gossipy expression on Jia Zhang's face, he smiled and said to her, "Mom! I heard about this from Yan Bugui in the front yard when I just returned to the courtyard."
After hearing Jia Dongming's answer and seeing the pork belly on the handlebars of Jia Dongming's bicycle, Jia Zhang asked him curiously, "Dongming! Don't we still have bacon left at home? Why did you buy more meat today?"
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question, he smiled and asked her, "Mom! Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's question, she pondered for a moment, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what day it was today. She asked Jia Dongming curiously, "Dongming! What day is today?"
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question, he smiled and teased her, "Mom! You always say Bang Geng is your grandson, but you actually forgot Bang Geng's birthday."
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's reminder, an expression of sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared on her face. She instinctively patted her legs and said, "Dongming! If you hadn't reminded me, I would have really forgotten Banggeng's birthday."
"Uncle! What birthday? Is today my birthday?" Banggeng, who was doing homework in the room, heard the conversation between Jia Dongming and Jia Zhang. He ran out of the room with a pen in his hand and asked Jia Dongming curiously.
When Jia Dongming heard Banggeng's question, he smiled and said to Banggeng, "Banggeng! Today is your birthday. After get off work, uncle went to the market to buy some vegetables. Our whole family will celebrate for you tonight."
Children of this generation hardly have birthdays. Even though Banggeng is the precious grandson of the Jia family in the eyes of Jia Zhang, the Jia family has never celebrated Banggeng's birthday.
When Bang Geng learned that today was his birthday and that Jia Dongming had bought a lot of food to celebrate his birthday, he was immediately overjoyed and asked Jia Dongming, "Uncle! Is what you said true? Today is really my birthday, and you bought a lot of food to celebrate for me."
When Jia Dongming heard Banggeng's question and saw Banggeng's surprised expression, he smiled and nodded and replied, "Banggeng! Today is your birthday, and uncle has prepared a birthday present for you."
When Bang Geng heard about the birthday present, his ecstatic face suddenly revealed an expression of curiosity and desire, and he quickly asked Jia Dongming: "Uncle! What birthday present did you prepare for me?"
When Jia Dongming heard Banggeng asking about the gift he prepared, he said to Banggeng in a mysterious way: "Banggeng! What is the gift? I won't tell you now. You will know when we celebrate for you tonight."
Jia Dongming parked his bike and then walked into the house with the things he had prepared. Jia Dongming walked into the kitchen and saw Qin Huairu preparing dinner. He put the things in his hands on the chopping board and said to Qin Huairu with a smile: "Huairu! Today is Banggeng's birthday. On the way home from get off work, I went to the market and bought some things. You can cook them all later and celebrate for Banggeng in the evening."
Qin Huairu was very touched when she heard Jia Dongming's instructions. She learned that Jia Dongming bought so many things just to celebrate his son's birthday. However, she said to Jia Dongming against her will, "Brother Dongming! Now that we have enough food to eat, it is already a very happy thing. Why are you celebrating Banggeng's birthday?"
Qin Huairu said this, but her hands were very honest. She directly opened the cloth bag that Jia Dongming had placed on the chopping board and took out the things in the bag one by one. When she took out a cake, she asked Jia Dongming with curiosity, "Brother Dongming! What is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's question and saw the birthday cake in Qin Huairu's hand, he smiled and introduced it to Qin Huairu: "Huairu! This is a birthday cake. I specially asked someone to buy it from Lao Mo's Restaurant."
Although Qin Huairu had never heard of birthday cakes, she had heard of Lao Mo's restaurant. When she learned that the cake in the box was bought from Lao Mo's restaurant by Jia Dongming, she immediately showed a distressed expression on her face and complained to Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! I heard that the food in Lao Mo's restaurant is very expensive. A meal there costs at least 10 or 20 yuan. Although you have a high salary, you can't do this, right?"
The so-called Lao Mo Restaurant was just an excuse Jia Dongming made for the source of the cake. When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's complaint, he smiled and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! This cake is made of flour, eggs, and milk. Although it is a little expensive, we don't eat it every day. And today is Banggeng's birthday. Our whole family can take this opportunity to have a good meal."
Dinner was quickly cooked. When the Jia family sat at the dining table, Jia Dongming first took out the wine and Arctic Ocean soda that he had prepared in advance, and then placed the cake on the table. While inserting birthday candles on the cake, he said to everyone present: "Today is Banggeng's eleventh birthday. Let's take advantage of Banggeng's birthday to have a good meal."
Jia Dongming put eleven colorful candles on the cake. After he lit the candles with matches, he smiled and said to Banggeng, "Banggeng! These eleven candles represent your eleventh birthday. Now you can quietly make a wish in your heart, and then blow out the candles. We will celebrate your birthday then."
Although Bang Geng didn't understand why Jia Dongming put candles on the cake and asked him to blow out the candles, the creamy aroma emanating from the cake made Bang Geng swallow his saliva. When Bang Geng heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately followed Jia Dongming's instructions, made a wish in his heart, then took a deep breath and blew towards the candles on the cake.
After the candles were blown out, Jia Dongming removed the candles on the cake one by one, then picked up a fruit knife and divided the cake into more than a dozen pieces. He smiled and said, "Grandma is the most important in our family. This first piece of cake will be for her!"
Qin Huairu saw Jia Dongming distributing cakes to everyone, and smiled and asked Bang Geng who was standing beside her: "Bang Geng! Can you tell mom? What wish did you make just now?"
Bang Geng heard Qin Huairu's question and answered without thinking: "Mom! My wish is to celebrate my birthday every day and eat delicious food."
