On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Song Boyan's place first, then to Chen Yanwen's place, and also met Lele and the little princess. The almost four-month-old child was wearing a red dress, which made her little face look white and tender, very cute.
Dabao also came forward to look at his sister, his eyes wide open, very curious. Wang Yu asked him if his sister was pretty.
Dabao glanced at Lele, then at the little princess and said, "Little sister is pretty. Daddy, I want a little sister too."
Hearing this, the others couldn't help laughing. Wang Yu touched his head. He couldn't respond to this. Having a sister wasn't something he could just think of.
Chen Yanwen teased him, "Dabao, ask your dad to work harder and you'll have a little sister."
At this time, Dabao knew that he came out of his father's belly, but he didn't understand why his father needed to work so hard. However, he didn't think about it anymore. He was happy knowing that he might also have a younger sister. After his sister fell asleep, he took Shitou to play in the garden.
Starting from the third day of junior high school, Wang Yu had nothing to do. As the weather was cold, he didn't plan to go out. He just stayed at home reading books, practicing calligraphy, or teaching Dabao and Huo Rui to read. They would go to the academy when they were sixteen. If the weather was good in a few days, he would go buy them some study supplies, such as a small bookcase, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. They needed to prepare all these things themselves.
It was Cheng Chen's birthday, and Wang Yu told Chen Yanwen yesterday that he needed to order a cake. Chen Yanwen also complained to him that the princess also liked to drink milk tea, but later she didn't pay attention and accidentally gained some weight. In the end, she had to give it up reluctantly and only drink a cup without so much sugar occasionally.
In winter, Wang Yu would occasionally buy some for his family. Cheng Chen and Wang's mother both liked to drink it, but he didn't let them drink it often. The family's diet was better now, and drinking too much of it would indeed make them gain weight.
Ever since cakes and milk tea became popular in Beijing, other shops have followed suit, but generally speaking, none of them are as good as Chen Yanwen's shop. The shop also changes its products according to the season, so their business has always been good.
Early this morning, the shop assistant delivered the cake that Wang Yu wanted. It was a large three-layer cake. In recent years, their shop has been getting better and better in cake research and development.
Every year on his birthday, Wang Yu would give him a gift, and this year was no exception. When Cheng Chen woke up in the morning, he saw a box next to his pillow. Cheng Chen opened it and saw that it was a very exotic gold necklace. The golden chain was interspersed with several turquoises. The pendant was round and hollowed out with gold wire. There were four rubies inlaid in the middle. It was not big but very beautiful.
Cheng Chen happily placed it on the dressing table and opened the jewelry box. The jewelry box was very large and divided into several layers. It was specially made by Wang Yu. In the past few years, he had received a lot of jewelry, all of which were in this box. There was the silver hairpin he received for the first time, as well as the bracelets, jade pendants, jade hairpins, etc. that were given later.
Cheng Chen picked up the gold beads with a coral cherry hanging on them. She had bought them at the night market before, and her husband later gave her another set of beads. Cheng Chen put the beads on her wrist and looked at the jade ring on her hand, which she wore every day. The smile on her face became more gentle.
I remember that my husband said that their marriage would be simple and that he would slowly provide him with everything in the future. He really did it. He has been so good to me as always over the years. Whenever he comes across anything good, he will bring a portion to him to make him happy.
After Cheng Chen washed up, changed his clothes and put on the necklace, he was about to go out when he saw Wang Yu coming in with a big cake in his hand.
Wang Yu put down the cake and turned around to see Cheng Chen had already gotten up and changed his clothes. He immediately noticed the necklace on her chest, walked over and kissed her, praising her, "Achen looks really good today."
Although she always hears her husband praising her, Cheng Chen still feels embarrassed. With red ears, she says that the gift her husband gave her is very beautiful and she likes it very much.
Since her husband liked it, Wang Yu smiled with satisfaction, walked up to Cheng Chen, took his hand and said, "Do you want to know what gift Dabao prepared for you?"
Cheng Chen didn't expect Dabao to prepare a gift for him? He nodded in anticipation. Wang Yu took Cheng Chen by the hand and sneaked to the kitchen window. Looking inside, they could see Dabao learning how to knead dough with Aunt Yu in the kitchen.
A few days ago, Dabao came to ask him what gift he should give to his father for his birthday. He had his own New Year's money but didn't know what to buy. Later, Wang Yu suggested that he make a bowl of longevity noodles for his father, so today's scene happened.
After watching for a while, Wang Yu pulled Cheng Chen away. Dabao got up early today and went to the kitchen to learn how to make noodles. He couldn't let him know that he was exposed.
Cheng Chen thought of Dabao's hands and face covered in flour, and he was both happy and amused. He asked, "Can Dabao learn it?"
Wang Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Yu is here. She will definitely get it done. The important thing is to participate."
Cheng Chen nodded. As expected, he was going to school and had grown up so quickly. He even knew how to make longevity noodles for him. Thinking of this, the smile on his face grew even wider.
At noon, the family celebrated Cheng Chen's birthday. Dabao also presented him with longevity noodles that he made himself. Of course, it was mainly made by Aunt Yu, but the thought is the most precious, and Cheng Chen enjoyed the meal very much.
Seeing Dabao's expectant look, Cheng Chen patted his head and said, "Thank you, Dabao, for the longevity noodles. They are delicious. Dad loves them."
Hearing that his father liked it, he was even happier and said, "I will make it for him every year from now on."
Hearing this, Cheng Chen was very pleased and moved, and he finished the whole bowl of longevity noodles.
Wang Yu asked Dabao: "It's Daddy's birthday, will you do it?"
Dabao thought that since he liked it, his father would definitely make it, and his grandparents would like it too, so he said, "Yes, they would make it for their birthdays too."
Seeing that Dabao had not forgotten them, Wang's father and mother smiled immediately. Wang's mother picked up Dabao and said, "Our Dabao is really filial and a good child."
The family had a happy meal. Cheng Chen made a wish, cut the cake and each of them ate a piece. The rest was divided among the servants because the cake was too big and they couldn't finish it.
Dabao cut two pieces for each of the Huo brothers. It was the first time for Huo Yi and Huo Rui to eat this thing. Ever since the cake became popular in Beijing, he had heard others mention it, but he knew that it was very expensive. He also thought that he would buy one for Huo Rui's birthday this year, and he would just buy a small one.
Only after eating it today did I understand why it was so expensive. It was so delicious, soft, sweet and fragrant. Huo Yi saw that his brother was still eating it with relish, and thought of buying him another one for his next birthday so that he could eat more.
The weather has been pretty good these days. Although the temperature is cold, there is sunshine and no wind. Wang Yu and Cheng Chen went out to buy things for Dabao and the others. Dabao went to play with stones and also to see his sister Lele.
The things he bought were nothing more than the four treasures of the study. Wang Yu bought two of each. Since the books were already in the academy, there was no need to buy more. He also bought two small book baskets. He had originally thought of buying one for Shi Tou as well, but when he went to Song Boyan's house to ask about it when he left, he was told that they had already been bought and there was no need for them.
