Sometimes Lin Hongcai or Gu Hai would take turns driving the old man to the vegetable base to work.
Working in the fields, picking some vegetables grown by themselves, turning the soil and weeding are rare and interesting for them. After finishing the work, they sweat a little and feel comfortable in the warmth.
Then I take the dishes home. Not only do they feel clean and hygienic, but they also taste extra delicious because I participated in the labor.
Today, the two old men agreed to eat hot pot, so they picked fresh lettuce, cauliflower and other things from the fields and brought them back to the courtyard to prepare hot pot. They bought a huge pile of meat and seafood.
Little Jinjin was lying carefree in the crib, with her chubby little feet dangling from side to side, and she couldn't help chewing on a toy in her hand, drooling, and giggling from time to time, making the adults laugh.
"Wait until Xiaoyi and Shiyi come back, then we'll have some fun! Have you prepared the drinks the two kids like? They want something cold, so get some well water to make them. Iced drinks are too cold and can damage the spleen and stomach!"
Li Zhengxiang muttered to herself while doing these things. She got a clean small white bucket, filled it with cold well water, and made a few bottles of drinks in it.
Lin Yi called at this time.
Lin Hongcai has a loud voice, and he yelled loudly after answering the phone. Lin Yi and Gu Shiyi were in the car getting ready to leave. Even if he didn't press the hands-free button, Shiyi next to him could hear it clearly.
Dad knew they were going to play but didn't say anything. He just told Lin Yi to take good care of Shi Yi and be sure to pay attention to safety.
Before hanging up the phone, the two of them clearly heard a sentence: "Don't wait, the two children are out eating, let's eat too!"
Gu Shiyi looked down at the time on his phone. It was almost eight o'clock, and his family hadn't eaten yet. It seemed that someone was waiting for them.
If they were eating hot pot, they would definitely prepare the ingredients early. The old man likes the lively atmosphere and the feeling of the whole family gathering together. It's rare that everyone wants to have hot pot together, but they are not here...
"Husband, wait!"
Shi Yi grabbed Lin Yi's arm.
"What's wrong, wife?"
"Honey, it suddenly occurred to me that today seems to be our grandmother's birthday! Yes, today is her birthday! I heard grandpa mention it once before, and I wrote it down on my phone. Let me check it now!"
Gu Shiyi quickly took out the memo on his phone and saw that it was today!
"I remember Grandpa said Grandma's birthday is in this season and this month. No wonder they're celebrating with hot pot today. Judging from Dad's tone, he probably doesn't know either. Grandpa and Grandma must have kept it a secret from everyone!"
Grandma didn't want to cause trouble for everyone, and she didn't want to do anything. She couldn't even find out her birthday no matter how hard we tried.
Without grandma's permission, no matter how Shi Yi acted coquettishly with grandpa, the old man just laughed and refused to say anything.
Fortunately, she was careful enough to write it down quickly.
"Honey, let's go buy a cake and go back to eat!"
Lin Yi smiled: "Aren't you going out to play?"
"You idiot, we can hang out anytime. Grandma's birthday only comes once a year. Let's go, hurry up and buy a cake. We can still make it back in time!"
After paying the overtime fee and rushing for half an hour, Lin Yi and Gu Shiyi walked into the courtyard carrying a big cake.
Li Zhengxiang was feeling a little disappointed because her two children were not there, so she forced herself to smile. When she looked up, she saw them holding cakes and smiling at her!
After being stunned for a few seconds, Li Zhengxiang came to her senses and stood up hurriedly, with tears clearly welling up in her eyes.
