After that, he started to put a piece of cake in each of their bowls, but he put the part on top of the cake that still looked somewhat human in Ruan Ruan's bowl.
"It's so delicious, Ruan Ruan! What are those white things and colors on top? It's sweet and sour, and tastes really good." Teacher Shen praised it repeatedly after taking a bite.
Today is the weekend, and it also happens to be the first day of school for the children. After the students registered in the morning, they went home at noon. Teacher Shen also got home after finishing a meeting at school. Ruan Ruan went to find her, but unfortunately, she had to teach the students tomorrow and needed to prepare lesson plans, so she couldn't come over to help her in the afternoon. Ruan Ruan said she could manage on her own and that she could come over when she was having lunch. This is why Teacher Shen came with Commander Gu.
"The white stuff on top is made by beating egg whites and sugar together. The colored stuff is jam I made in winter: red is tomato sauce, yellow is mango jam, and the green stuff is vegetable juice I made by boiling vegetables and sugar."
"So creative!" Various sauces paired with a fragrant and soft cake make for a truly delicious pastry.
"That's right, these are much tastier than the pastries sold at the supply and marketing cooperative. They're fragrant and soft. If they could be sold, they would definitely be very popular."
"Alright, alright, eat more vegetables, they'll get cold soon." These kids were getting more and more outrageous, and Commander Gu immediately interrupted them.
Everyone knows that speculation and profiteering are the most taboo things these days. If you get caught, you'll be locked up in a fenced yard.
Seeing that the commander had spoken, they realized they had said the wrong thing, so they immediately started eating and kept praising Ruan Ruan's roast duck, saying it was just as delicious as the roast duck from the one in Beijing.
"Brother-in-law, today is your birthday. On behalf of the entire Ruan family, I wish you a happy birthday." After eating for a while, Ruan Shaoke raised his glass to Huo Haocheng and said. Among the Ruan brothers present, he was the eldest. He did not know when Huo Haocheng's birthday was beforehand, so he had not made any preparations. He could only take this opportunity to toast him.
"Second brother, thank you." Ruan Shaoke was very kind to him when he offered him a drink, whether as his brother-in-law or now as a comrade-in-arms. He was especially flattered when Ruan Shaoke said that he represented the Ruan family.
He knew that if they were in Beijing today, they would have thrown him a birthday party, even just for Ruan Ruan's sake. But no matter what, he was happy because it was all his wife's way of showing her love for him.
With Ruan Shaoke taking the lead, the others also found various excuses to come and get him drunk.
"Captain, I salute you."
"Huo Haocheng, thank you both for your help to me and Shao Ke."
"Big brother, we toast you. Grandpa, Grandma, and the other brothers aren't here today, so my wife and I, Haoli, will represent them in wishing you a happy birthday."
Happy birthday, big brother.
Happy birthday, Haocheng!
Happy birthday, brother-in-law!
I don't know how much he drank tonight, but they finished all the alcohol in the house.
When it was time to leave, Ruan Ruan saw them off. Apart from Commander Gu, who was able to calmly chat and laugh with Teacher Shen as they returned, the others were all staggering and being helped back.
After seeing them off, Ruan Ruan struggled to help Huo Haocheng into the room. When she finally managed to throw him onto the bed, she exclaimed, "Ouch, he's so heavy!" She then painstakingly removed his clothes and slippers, fetched water to wash his face and feet, and after settling him in, she began to clean up the dishes.
"Ugh, system, do you have some kind of cheat code that can instantly clean all this up?" Looking at the table full of leftover food, Ruan Ruan was truly on the verge of a breakdown. She had absolutely no desire to clean up!
"Sorry, host, no! Why don't you rest tonight and clean up tomorrow?" Looking at the scene in front of him, the kitten felt helpless. He couldn't help her at all. Seeing that she was tired after a long day, he could only suggest that she rest first.
"...Oh well, what's done is done, a little more won't hurt. Keep going!" After encouraging herself, she started stacking the empty bowls, dumping the dirty ones into another bowl. By the time she finished cleaning up and tidying herself up, her watch was pointing to 10 o'clock. Looking at the large bowl of leftovers, she didn't know what to do. Should she throw it away? She didn't know where to put it. Should she keep it? What would she do with it? Finally, she thought, "I'll feed it to Sister Xia's chickens tomorrow." That was the only option. Luckily, no one saw her, or people would say she was being extravagant.
After finishing her tidying up, exhausted from the day, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep instantly.
In the middle of the night, Huo Haocheng woke up thirsty. Looking at his wife in his arms, he slowly pulled his arm out from under her, then quietly went to pour himself a glass of water and drank it. When he returned, he gently held her in his arms again.
"Wife, thank you. This is the happiest birthday I've ever had," he whispered in her ear.
Whether she was bothered by him or felt that his words were like mosquitoes bothering her, Ruan Ruan slapped him as soon as he finished speaking.
The man who had been slapped thought his wife was really adorable. He grabbed the hand that had hit him, kissed her palm, and then held her tightly, continuing to sleep.
The next day, Ruan Ruan slept until noon. She was woken up by hunger. When she got up, Huo Haocheng was already making their lunch.
"Honey, you're awake. Are you hungry? Wash up first, and we'll eat soon." When he came back, he saw that the breakfast on the table hadn't been touched. He went to the bedroom to check and saw that she was still sleeping. He planned to cook the food first before waking her up, but she woke up on her own after only a short while.
