Chapter 283 A meaningful birthday
Li Dongdong pursed his lips and said nothing. Even if his stepmother was on vacation today, he would go back early to see his younger brothers and sisters.
When I was leaving, my stepmother told me to go home early after dinner because my younger brothers and sisters still needed someone to look after them.
If he didn't go back earlier, he would be beaten and scolded again.
Yu Hui looked at Li Dongdong. It turned out that he also had a stepmother's child. No wonder he was so thin even though he was dressed like that.
"Eat the cake before going back." Yu Hui looked at Li Dongdong gently and said.
Li Dongdong raised his head. He couldn't refuse the aunt who was so gentle to him. Besides, he had never eaten cake before and wanted to try what it tasted like, so he nodded.
"There's also cake?" Liu Xiaozhu widened his eyes in surprise.
Gu Dong nodded proudly, "My dad asked Brother Li to go to the city to buy it and send it to our house."
The cake arrived early, so they didn't see it.
"Gu Dong, go get your cake." Yu Hui looked at Gu Dong and said.
"Okay." Gu Dong ran into the bedroom to get the cake, with Gu Nan and Gu Xixi following behind him.
A big cake wrapped in a paper box was brought out from the bedroom by Gu Dong. The two brothers Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin went to take it together and put the big cake in the middle of the table.
Everyone moved closer to the table, wondering what the big cake under the carton would look like.
The sweet aroma of cream also attracted them.
Gu Dong knelt on the stool and opened the carton. A strawberry cream cake with red strawberries dotted between white cream appeared in front of everyone.
On the cake, six big words "Happy Birthday, Gu Dong" were written with red strawberry jam.
"Wow..." Liu Xiaozhu opened his mouth and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
He was not the only one drooling. All the children who could not resist the temptation of sweets were drooling.
"This cake is so big, it must be expensive." Li Qiang said while swallowing his saliva.
"That's for sure. Last time my sister had her birthday, my mother bought her something that wasn't even this big and it cost eight yuan. This one should cost at least ten yuan," said Zhang Jialin.
Gu Dong looked at his mother. Is it really that expensive?
Yu Hui nodded and said, "It's indeed ten yuan."
"It's so expensive. Gu Dong, your mother is really willing to buy it for you." Liu Xiaozhu looked at Gu Dong enviously.
Li Qiang wrinkled his nose. "Last month, on my birthday, I told my mom I wanted cake, and she said I wanted egg cake, so she boiled two eggs for me on my birthday."
She is his biological mother!
Sun Xiangdong: "My mother is the same. Our mothers are still close to us."
My own biological mother is not as good as Gu Dong’s stepmother.
Ten yuan! Qian Lan looked at the cake on the table and shook her head.
Xiao Yu is rich now, and he is spending money more and more lavishly. He even buys a birthday cake for his child for ten yuan without any hesitation.
And today's huge table of food is probably enough to cover the food expenses for many families for a month.
Eight colorful candles were placed on the cake, and Gu Huai took a match and lit the candles one by one.
Everyone clapped and sang Happy Birthday to Gu Dong.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~"
"Gu Dong, make a wish quickly." Wu Chao put his arm around Zhang Jialin's shoulders and said to Gu Dong.
Gu Dong closed his eyes and made a wish. He wished that his family would be happy and never be separated.
"Blow out the candles, blow out the candles quickly, the wax is going to drip onto the cake."
Gu Dong hurriedly blew out the candles, and Gu Xixi also knelt on the stool to help him blow them out.
"Mom." Gu Dong looked at his mother.
Yu Hui looked at him and said, "You are the birthday boy. This cake is yours. You cut it and divide it among them."
Gu Nan helped take out the paper plates and placed them on the table.
Gu Dong picked up the plastic cake knife and cut the cake carefully. The first piece he cut was the one with flowers and strawberries on it.
I carefully placed it on a paper plate, put a plastic fork on it, and carefully handed it to my mother.
"Mom, this cake is for you. You've worked hard today. Thank you for preparing so many delicious foods for me and making my birthday so meaningful." Gu Dong said sincerely.
Yu Hui's face was full of relief. She took the cake and touched Gu Dong's head.
Gu Dong smiled shyly when his head was touched. It seemed like this was the first time his mother touched his head.
Gu Dong cut the second piece of cake and gave it to his father.
The third piece is for his aunt, followed by his younger brothers and sisters and the guests who came to celebrate his birthday, and finally for himself.
Beibei also got a very small piece. Seeing how small his cake was, the little guy was a little unhappy.
Why is Beibei’s cake so small?
But after tasting the sweet taste, he became happy again.
The cake is really delicious.
Although Qian Lan didn't say it, Gu Dong also left a piece of cake for his Uncle Yu.
After eating the sweet and delicious cake, Li Dongdong went home first.
The others played for an extra hour before leaving.
"Mom, I'm back." Li Dongdong said standing at the door, then swallowed nervously and pushed the door open to go in.
As he stepped into the house, a shoe came flying towards him. He subconsciously dodged and the shoe flew past his ear.
Li Dongdong's whole body was stiff, and he maintained the posture of entering the door. The happiness and joy he had felt before returning home suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The happiness, joy and warmth he felt in Gu Dong's house seemed like a dream. Now that he was awake, he returned to his real world.
Inside the house, Pu Xianglan was holding her daughter, who had just changed her pants. She glared at her stepson at the door and cursed, "You short-lived bastard! Didn't I tell you to come home earlier to see your brothers and sisters? You've been playing outside and you're still here now."
"If you had come back earlier, your sister wouldn't have wet her pants and shoes."
"What are you still standing there for? Go get your sister's shoes and pants washed!"
As Pu Xianglan spoke, she picked up the urine-soaked pants on the ground and threw them at her stepson.
She was very annoyed. She didn't pay attention and her daughter wet her pants. Pants are hard to dry in winter.
The wet pants fell at Li Dongdong's feet. He bent down to pick up the pants and then picked up his shoes.
When he bent down to pick up his shoe, the other shoe hit his back.
Li Dongdong pouted in grievance. Why was Gu Dong's stepmother so good to him, but his own stepmother was so bad to him?
If he had never felt warmth, seen other people's happy days, and been immersed in that happy atmosphere, he would not feel how sad his current life is, and he would not feel wronged at this moment.
But he had felt...
In the evening, when Daqiang came home from get off work, Qian Lan took out the cake she had left for him.
"Xiao Yu bought a huge cake for Gu Dong. It cost ten yuan, but I couldn't bear to buy it."
Yu Qiang ate the cake without saying a word.
Qian Lan saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time and could tell that he was worried, so she asked, "Are you okay? Is there something wrong?"
Yu Qiang raised his head, looked at her and said, "My mother broke her leg and wanted to come to us to recuperate."
