Su He chuckled, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't control when a baby is born. You two were born on the same day, we can't change that!"

Yuan Yuan sighed regretfully upon hearing this, then guiltily suggested, "Can I not celebrate my birthday with them? I'll celebrate a few days later!"

Su He laughed when she heard him say that, then refused without hesitation, "No way! It's a date, and it can't be changed!"

Yuan Yuan was extremely disappointed. He sighed heavily, his shoulders slumped, as if missing this cake meal had made his life hopeless!

Seeing his disappointment, Su He couldn't help but laugh, but also felt a pang of sympathy. So she suggested, "Why don't you ask your dad? If he agrees, then I agree too."

Yuan Yuan shook her head weakly. "It's no use. Dad said we'll listen to you in the family. We need Mom's permission first."

Su He smiled slightly and said, "Then there's nothing I can do. But you can do well in the future. If you do well, even if you don't celebrate your birthday, Mom can still buy you a cake."

Lin's mother, who had been listening to their conversation and was already laughing heartily, chimed in, "Yes, Yuanyuan, cakes aren't only for birthdays. Grandma will buy you one whenever you want!"

Yuan Yuan shook her head again, "No need, thank you Grandma. But birthday cake is best eaten on the birthday itself. I'm happy to eat it once a year. Sanmao and the others have never had one."

Everyone smiled with even greater satisfaction at how sensible he was, including Su He. She secretly thought to herself that she could buy more other pastries in the future. Even if they couldn't compare to birthday cakes, they would still be delicious and could satisfy the children's cravings.

After this incident, Su He finally washed up, ate breakfast, and then sat at home chatting with her family.

However, Grandma Su and Lin's mother were not here. It was a rare occasion for the whole family to be together today, so they wanted to buy some meat to make dumplings.

He went out for a long time and never came back.

Mr. Lin and Mr. Su sat in the living room, listening to the radio and discussing national affairs. Of course, they didn't dare to say too much, just marveling at the country's prosperity and strength.

Lin Jingyan, having nothing else to do, was checking Yuan Yuan's homework.

Poor Yuan Yuan was forced to study even during her vacation.

As for the two younger ones, they were sitting to the side playing with the building blocks that Su He had prepared for them, having a great time.

Su He rarely had such a moment of leisure, so she leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, listened to the radio, and let her mind wander.

However, not long after, they heard voices outside. It turned out that Lin's mother and Grandma Su had returned.

Su He quickly sat up to greet them, only to see that the two were carrying a lot of things as they entered, indicating that they had made quite a haul.

"Why did you buy so much? Didn't you say you were only buying some meat?"

Then Grandma Su exclaimed with delight, "Today, the supply and marketing cooperative not only has meat but also pig's trotters. I thought you like them, so I lined up and bought a few. There's also tofu, which Yuan Yuan loves, so I bought some too. Luckily, we went early, and I managed to buy the last piece."

Oh, by the way, the glove factory got a batch of defective gloves, and they don't even require a coupon. A lot of people are scrambling to buy them. I checked them and they're fine except for the slightly crooked stitching. They can be fixed up and used right away, so I quickly grabbed a few pairs.

Luckily, I acted quickly; the neighbor's wife didn't expect it and was incredibly envious.

Su He was speechless. A slight tilt isn't a problem? This is a big problem, okay?

However, seeing that Grandma Su was quite happy, she didn't spoil the mood. Instead, she praised her, "Grandma is really amazing. You must be exhausted. Take a rest. I'll take care of the pig's trotters. I've already learned how to do it!"
