After a festive dinner, under everyone's excited gazes, the five little ones pushed out a giant cake made by Ji Buwang.
“Mother, happy birthday. It was a hard day for you, Grandma. I love you!"
The five children carefully expressed their blessings and gratitude to Li Zhaodi. Li Zhaodi ate her first piece of birthday cake and was flooded with gifts.
Gifts had been prepared by Mu Jingzhe and the five children. They had given gifts to their mothers first thing in the morning because they still had to give grandmother gifts from the mother's side at night. Their mother said that the maternal grandmother was actually the one who had worked the hardest and was most deserving of blessings and enjoyment.
Ji Buwang had also prepared a gift for Li Zhaodi. Even Mu Teng had bought a gift thanks to the continuous hints from Mu Jingzhe.
Li Zhaodi laughed and cried. "My Jingzhe, why are you ... Little dong, you boys ..."
She had lived for so long and had given birth to two children. When she gave birth to Jingzhe, Old Madam Mu had pulled a long face and called her useless for giving birth to a girl. The villagers also expressed their regret that she did not give birth to a son.
Fortunately, Mu Teng did not say anything. However, no one felt heavy for her after she risked her life to give birth to a child. They all feel that it is true.
Even so, he never regretted it. However, after 21 years, he was suddenly rewarded and thanked. What has he done to get such treatment?
Too overwhelmed to speak, Li Zhaodi hugged Mu Jingzhe for a long time before finally saying, “This is worth it. Mother's life is precious..”.
Li Zhaodi was confident that she would become the happiest mother in the future, as she was the only one in the Great Eastern Village to receive such treatment. He would fight with anyone who competed with him to obtain that title.
Li Zhaodi bit the big cake. “Everything, eat! Fast eat!”
His forthright attitude made them feel like they were not eating cake but drinking wine. Everyone was laughing and eating at the same time.
In this day and age, sponge cake is also rare, especially cream cake. It was not too bad for the children in the city, but the rural children did not have the opportunity to eat this food.
The little friends that Shao Dong and his brothers brought over ate voraciously. Women also appreciate the food.
A woman stops eating after a bite. When Mu Jingzhe realized this, he quickly asked if he didn't like it.
“No, I really like it.” The woman was a little embarrassed. “Only I want to take it back for my children to eat because it is very tasty.”
She could not bear to eat it, as she wanted to leave it to be tasted by her children.
"Please eat. There will be more after you finish eating. You can bring it back to your children.” Ji Buwang interrupted. “I've prepared a lot.”
Ji Buwang wanted to contact Uncle Li to think of how to find the cake again, but Shao Qihai stopped him. “I've asked someone to take her. Everyone in the village can eat it.”
After saying that, he could not help but glance at Mu Jingzhe and Li Zhaodi, frustration flashed in his eyes.
He did not make any preparations in the morning or give Mu Jingzhe a birthday present. Under Ji Buwang's siege, Shao Qihai had racked his brain to immediately prepare a present for Mu Jingzhe. He wanted to look for an opportunity to give it to Mu Jingzhe at night, but in the end, no one gave Mu Jingzhe a gift at night. They all gave gifts to Li Zhaodi. She ... one step too late once again.
What she prepared for Mu Jingzhe was no match for Li Zhaodi, so .. she had yet to give her gift.
Li Zhaodi could not bear to let go of Ji Buwang's hand. Like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked at him, the more pleasant she saw him. Instead, he did not particularly glance towards Shao Qihai.
Hoping to make amends, Shao Qihai had his cake sent that very night. Shao Qihai also gave cakes to the people who came to the house for fun. Most of the children in the village come home to eat cakes.
Therefore, Mu Jingzhe's birthday, which was also Jingzhe[1], became the day most anticipated by the children. Whenever they thought of today, they thought of eating cake.
After they ate the cake, the day began to dissolve. Li Zhaodi, Mu Jingzhe, and Shao Qiyang saw Ji Buwang come out. Ji Buwang came in an open and open way, so no one said anything.
After they left, Shao Qihai placed the gift in Mu Jingzhe's room while no one noticed.
Elsewhere, Ji Buwang also gave Mu Jingzhe the gift he had prepared. “Birthday gift for you.”
Mu Jingzhe thought that it was quite a rare birthday gift that Ji Buwang had done so much.
“There is a secret to that gift. It all depends on when you find it. ” Ji Buwang said this and left.
"Whatis that? Hurry up and open it." Li Zhaodi urged Mu Jingzhe.
The gift was inside a wooden box and not packed, so Mu Jingzhe saw it as he opened it. “Eh..”
Mu Jingzhe took it out and looked at it. "It's a Russian doll set."
“This little guy looks like you. Look, her hair is short, and her small eyes also look similar to yours.” Li Zhaodi could tell at first glance.
Mu Jingzhe looked at it and realized that it was really similar to him. “Where did he find this? To think it's so similar to me. ”
Mu Jingzhe did not expect that other than buying it, one could also draw it.
Ji Buwang went and saw Mu Jingzhe and Li Zhaodi's flashlight getting away. “I hope you know it soon ..”
After he was driving for a while, a car suddenly appeared in front of him. The road was narrow, and the car did not give way to him. When Ji Buwang stopped the car, he saw Tang Moling.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be on a business trip?”
"I'm back today for Jingzhe's birthday." Tang Moling was angry. “I know you did it on purpose. You deliberately sent me away so you could come see Jingzhe and lick her. How can there be an uncle like you?”
“Her year is over. Back."
“I will not be back. I have to see Jingzhe today and make him leave Shao Qihai's b*stard!” Something suddenly appeared to Tang Moling. “Uncle, have you heard? I heard Shao Qihai is still alive.”
“Of course I heard. You are late to know the news.”
"It's all because of you!" Tang Moling gnashed his teeth. “I will meet Shao Qihai and tell him what is good for him so that he will give up on Jingzhe early. I've bought the ring. I want to propose Jingzhe..”.
Tang Moling wanted Ji Buwang to see his determination, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck and his vision darkened.
Ji Buwang immediately dropped Tang Moling. “You proposed when I haven't? Do you not know how to respect the old and love the young? Don't you know what it means to be 'first come, first served'? ”
After poking Tang Moling's head and scolding her, Ji Buwang dragged Tang Moling into the passenger seat and left after meeting Uncle Li.
When Tang Moling regained his senses, it was the next day. At that time, he was at the airport. Right after waking up, he was taken to the plane and sent again.
“Uncle... Ji Buwang, I will never forgive you!”
After her most festive birthday, Mu Jingzhe fell asleep a little late due to her excitement. The next day, she wakes up to see Little Bei calmly sitting at the table and playing with the Russian doll Ji Buwang gave her.
Because these puppets were so similar to Mu Jingzhe, Little Bei hugged, caressed, and kissed them, feeling very affectionate towards them.
Upon seeing Little Bei's actions, Mu Jingzhe laughed. "You like them so much?" In that case, he would give Little Bei another time.
"Mom, you're awake." Little Bei pounced with his hands wrapped around one of the puppets. “That's right, I love those dolls because they look like Mom.”
Not just because the dolls are funny. More importantly, they were similar to Mother.
“Can I bring one wherever I go? It's like taking Mommy with me. I can put it in my pocket and see it whenever I want.”
