Where is his wife?

Before he could even ask, Yun Ningyan appeared at the doorway of the main room, holding something that looked like a tray.

He suddenly remembered the cake his wife had mentioned. Was this what it looked like?

"Yanyan?"

His voice was a little hoarse as he looked at Yun Ningyan.

Yun Ningyan walked towards him with a smile.

Huo Junshan's heart began to pound uncontrollably; he felt that his heart could not hold anyone else at this moment.

His heart and eyes are filled with his wife.

He called out again, "Yanyan?"

Yun Ningyan smiled even more brightly as she carefully carried what she was holding forward.

Her eyes crinkled with laughter, and his image was reflected in her bright, lively eyes.

He watched his wife intently as she walked step by step to his side.

Huo Junshan tightened his grip, unsure of where to put his hands.

She said sweetly, "Happy birthday, Huo Junshan!"

"This is a cake I made myself, and this table full of dishes. We'll celebrate every birthday together from now on."

Huo Junshan didn't know why, but he really wanted to pull the person into his arms and give them a good kiss.

His eyes were slightly red, his peach blossom eyes filled with affection, and he stared at Yun Ningyan with bated breath.

Li Xiangyun, standing behind him, also had tears in her eyes. Her third son had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Knowing that the young couple was doing well put her mind at ease.

Yang Dasheng and Huo Jianshe were extremely envious from behind; Yang Dasheng was about the same age as Huo Junshan.

But he's never been in a relationship; he can't stand ugly women and can't find pretty ones.

He was willing to delay things for now, but he wasn't in a hurry.

When it comes to finding a partner, it's better to have none than a bad one!

Huo Jianshe thought much more simply; he greatly admired the relationship between his third brother and sister-in-law.

I hope I can find someone similar to my third sister-in-law in the future.

Upon hearing Huo Jianshe's thoughts, Huo Junshan couldn't help but glance at him twice.

Why does that look in your eyes seem a little cold?

What did he do to upset his third brother?

Huo Jianshe dared not look at Huo Junshan anymore, and gave Huo Junshan a couple of smirks.

The others didn't notice the interaction between the two, but the captain smiled and led the applause.

Yun Ningyan was a little embarrassed. She put the cake on the table and said, "Huo Junshan, you are the star today, so you cut the cake."

I originally wanted Huo Junshan to make a wish, but this is the 1970s, and people's thinking is very conservative.

It's a special time now, so it's best not to say anything.

When it's just the two of them at night, they can make the promise secretly.

"Okay! I'll cut it. You all sit down, sit down, I'll cut the cake."

Yun Ningyan handed him a fruit knife, and Huo Junshan quickly sliced ​​several pieces of cake and placed them on the plate that Yun Ningyan had prepared in advance.

One piece per person.

Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Alright, one piece for each person. If you want more after you finish eating, you can cut some yourself."

Everyone started eating the cake. They had eaten sponge cake before, but they had never eaten a birthday cake like this.

It's really delicious!

"Ningning, how did you come up with this? It tastes pretty good."

Li Xiangyun couldn't help but praise it after taking two bites.

Yun Ningyan smiled. It was something she thought of when she saw the sponge cake, but it's a difficult thing to make.

Zhang Guihua also praised, "It's delicious, and Ningning is very skillful."

While they were talking, Huo Jianshe had already eaten a piece.

Huo Junshan opened the Moutai and filled the bottles for the brigade leader, Yang Dasheng, and himself.

"Ningning bought this especially for us. Try it all, it's a good wine."

The captain, a heavy drinker, took the first sip and exclaimed, "Not bad!"

Everyone chatted and laughed.

In the front yard of the Huo family, several people were eating pancakes and drinking corn porridge together.

Everyone looked listless.

Huo Changgen's face was very ugly. He remembered that today was his third son's birthday. His wife came back in the evening, told him about it, and then left.

They said they were going to cook for the third son's birthday.

They wouldn't let him go either.

He heard Ningning call for his wife clearly, but she didn't invite him to come along at all.

These people don't respect me at all.

In fact, they all knew that Huo Jianshe would come back and clamor to eat in the back.

They also said that only the third sister-in-law called her mother, while the others didn't.

Wang Cuihong slammed down her chopsticks; this third son's wife didn't treat her like family at all.

She's so angry!

If she weren't pregnant, she would definitely go to the back and ask her some questions, and have a proper discussion with her.

Huo Jianguo didn't care at all. There were already many people in his family. If they all went over, plus the two pregnant women, something might go wrong.

So it's better not to go; let them have their fun.

My wife and my third brother's wife already have some disagreements, so it's better if I don't go.

Wang Cuihong sighed, smacked her lips, and wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't hold back!

Huo Jianguo advised her, "Alright! Your relationship with your third sister-in-law wasn't good to begin with, so it's okay if she doesn't invite us. Just try not to make things difficult for her in the future and work things out!"

Wang Cuihong's face turned even uglier.

If her cousin had married into the family back then, Yun Ningyan wouldn't have had a chance.

It's also because her cousin was unlucky.

Huo Jianguo's words made her feel even more uncomfortable!

So they simply went inside.

As for Huo Jiandang and Zhang Hongying, they ate their meal quietly and nothing happened.

When Huo Changgen returned to his room, he felt increasingly uneasy. As the father, he had given birth to him.

You've raised him all these years, you must have put in a lot of effort, even if you haven't done anything particularly meritorious.

Why can't he, as the father, attend his son's birthday celebration?

He got up from the kang (a heated brick bed): No! He really had to go and see.

We can't just kick his father out in front of so many people!

He quietly went to the back.

A burst of laughter came from the courtyard, and he stood there at the door for a while.

He didn't go in, nor did he say anything.

He stood by the wall at the entrance, listening to the sounds coming from the courtyard.

Li Xiangyun: "The cake is delicious, the dishes are delicious, the braised pork melts in your mouth, the spare ribs are fresh, fragrant and spicy, and the stir-fried cured meat is also delicious."

Huo Changgen smelled the aroma in the yard and unconsciously swallowed.

They haven't seen meat in their family for several days.

My wife is angry every day and doesn't cook properly; all she makes are pancakes and corn porridge.

Sometimes, they don't even cook the vegetables.

He had no fat in his stomach, but now that he smelled meat, he was already incredibly hungry.

He was determined when he came, but when he got to the door, he couldn't take his step.

He stood at the door for almost ten minutes before finally deciding to go in.

He first coughed twice in a mock manner, then walked into the courtyard with steady steps.

Feigning surprise, she asked, "Why are there so many people?"

Before anyone could respond, he pointed at the cake and said, "Ningning, what's that? Cut me a piece so I can try it."

Yun Ningyan looked at Huo Junshan.

Huo Junshan didn't react. Li Xiangyun glared at Huo Changgen and cursed, "What are you doing here? Get out! There's no place for you here."
