Chapter 160 Birthday
Old Lady Wen tidied her clothes and said, "Grandma, you're just sitting around doing nothing. It's hard for you to have nothing to do."
"Once you have the piglets, you won't be idle anymore."
Old Mrs. Wen nodded with a smile: "Yes, the village chief has already approved a piece of land for us, and the land deed has been processed. Now we are just waiting for the mayor's reply." As she said that, she pulled Wen Zhenyi to sit on the stool and combed her long hair.
Wen Zhenyi has very good hair, black, shiny and smooth, and he has plenty of hair.
"It should be soon, we just need to wait a little longer."
"Yiyi, I'm wondering if I should find someone to build the pigpen first."
"I think it's okay, but grandma, I want to build it with blue bricks, not adobe."
Old Lady Wen paused and said, "The blue bricks will cost a lot of money."
"The blue brick one is easier to clean, and the other one is stronger."
"Are you planning to use blue bricks or bluestone slabs for the floor?"
"Yes, it will be easier to clean up this way, and you can use water to wash it, which will reduce pig diseases."
Old Lady Wen thought for a moment and said, "Your consideration is fine. I'll talk to your grandfather about it, but this blue brick floor will cost a lot of money."
"It doesn't matter. I will find a way to make money."
Old Lady Wen tied her hair, sat beside her and held her hand: "Yi Yi, we don't have to work so hard."
"Grandma, I want you to live in a big house with blue bricks and tiles, and I want you to have a good life in the future."
Old Lady Wen raised her rough hand and touched the top of her head: "Having you is the best time of our lives."
Wen Zhenyi was startled when he came out of the room.
In the yard were my grandfather's family from the county town, Mr. Shen and his grandson, A Xiang and Zhu Tao, and even Wen Yongnan and Wen Yongman.
She looked at them in confusion: "Grandpa, grandma, why are you here?"
"You see, I said this kid definitely doesn't remember." Old Mrs. Ma looked at Old Man Ma and said with a smile.
Wen Zhenyi was full of question marks and looked at Wen Yongnan, who was also wearing new clothes: "Brother, did I forget something?"
Wen Yongnan looked at her helplessly: "Today is our birthday."
"Ah?" Wen Zhenyi exclaimed in surprise. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that today was indeed the birthday of the brother and sister.
Ma Yinghe and Geng Ru came out of the kitchen, brought out two bowls of longevity noodles, and placed them on the table: "Come and eat longevity noodles."
Wen Zhenyi looked at the people in the yard, and the warmth in her heart came from the inside out, making her eyes slightly moist. In her previous life, she didn't know her birthday, and no one had ever celebrated her birthday.
I didn't expect that when I came here, I would have my birthday and there would be so many people celebrating for me.
Old Man Wen smiled and waved at the two of them: "Xiaonan, bring Yiyi over to eat longevity noodles."
Wen Yongnan and Wen Zhenyi sat at the table, looking at the longevity noodles on the table, which had a fried egg and some small green vegetables on it. Although it was simple, it contained full blessings from their family.
She picked up the chopsticks and ate all the longevity noodles in the bowl, even drinking up the soup.
"Cousin, this is my birthday present for you." Ma Ruier handed her a small box, then handed one to Wen Yongnan: "Cousin, this is for you."
Wen Zhenyi opened the box curiously and took a look. Inside was a beautiful pearl flower. It was not the most beautiful, but it was the best.
"Cousin, this is mine." Ma Yushun also took out a box and handed it to her.
He also handed one to Wen Yongnan.
"Thank you, second cousin."
Ma Yuruo was more steady than before and handed the two boxes to the two men.
Then came Zhu Tao and A Xiang, both of whom prepared gifts for her. Zhu Tao's was a handkerchief embroidered by herself, and A Xiang's was a jade pendant.
Just by looking at the material, you can tell that this piece of jade is worth a lot of money.
Her grandparents, uncle and aunt all gave her gifts, and her parents also prepared gifts for her.
Grandpa Shen also gave her a box, but she didn’t open it.
Now she has received many gifts, big and small.
Wen Yongman gave her a calligraphy piece he wrote, which contained his birthday wishes for her.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the words above, each one extremely seriously, and it can be seen that he has been working very hard during this period: "Thank you, Xiaoman, I like it very much."
Wen Yongman was quite nervous at first, fearing that she wouldn't like it. But when he heard her say she liked it, he immediately smiled.
Wen Yongnan also gave her a gift, a brush. This brush was given to him by his teacher, but he had never been willing to use it, so he gave it to Wen Zhenyi.
"Brother, don't you share my birthday? And you gave me a gift?"
"Who made you a younger sister?"
"But I haven't prepared any gifts for you."
"Becoming my sister is already the best gift." Wen Yongnan looked at her with a smile.
Wen Zhenyi was slightly stunned, and secretly remembered in his heart that he must remember everyone's birthday and give everyone the best gift on their birthday.
Shen Hanxing just stood aside with a smile, he did not give Wen Zhenyi a gift.
Geng Ru and her husband gave her a pair of silver earrings, which she put directly on her ears.
Her grandparents gave her a silver lock, hoping that she would be safe and happy from now on.
It's a rare opportunity for us all to get together today, and we have endless things to talk about.
Wen Zhenyi sat next to Geng Ru and asked, "Aunt, how is your stall doing?"
"It's not bad, but now some people are trying to sell mutton offal soup, which has affected business a bit."
"I'll teach you the rest. Let them sell the mutton offal soup."
"Okay, I'm here to steal your skills this time."
Wen Zhenyi looked at her and smiled: "That doesn't exist."
"Yi Yi, I want to learn more from you this time. I also plan to open a breakfast shop in the county town, just like yours."
"Okay, then you have to stay a few more days."
"Okay, no problem." Geng Ru also planned to stay for a few more days this time to learn more.
During this period of time when she returned to the county town, she tasted the sweetness. This mutton offal soup did make them a lot of money at the beginning and made their lives much better.
But later many people imitated it, and the business gradually became less prosperous than before.
The happiest person was Ma Ruier, because she could eat delicious food again.
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, I think you shouldn't open a breakfast shop."
Geng Ru's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that she no longer wanted to teach her? Or did she think she was taking advantage?
As soon as Wen Zhen saw the change in her expression, he knew she had misunderstood: "What I mean is, you can open a tea shop. It's not as tiring as breakfast, and the profit is just as good as breakfast."
Geng Ru was stunned: "Tea?"
"Yes, my shop now also sells herbal tea and various snacks at noon. The business is not as good as the breakfast shop tea."
"Is it difficult?"
"It's not difficult, it's relatively easy, and I can teach you how to make ice."
