Chapter 154 Birthday Cake
Lin Shanshan enjoyed talking big for a moment, but when it came to actually making her say it, she felt embarrassed.
Blushing and stammering, he shrank back into the passenger seat to minimize his presence.
Gu Yiye was completely charmed by his little wife's shy appearance. He parked the car on the side of the road and leaned down: "Are you going to call me or not? If you don't, I'll kiss you."
Lin Shanshan opened her mouth, her bright, dark fox-like eyes blinking hesitantly, but in the end, she was too embarrassed to say it.
Gu Yiye held the back of his young wife's head and kissed her bouncy, jelly-like lips. A few minutes later, Lin Shanshan, unable to breathe properly, pushed Gu Yiye away.
Her voice was barely audible, her face flushed crimson, and she called out, "Husband..."
Gu Yiye's lips curled up in a smile, and he drove off again with satisfaction.
Lin Shanshan calmed herself down and said, "Let's go to the school. Some of the experimental equipment has arrived. Let's go take a look."
Gu Yiye said, "Okay."
...
The experimental equipment was neatly arranged, with glassware and steel instruments. Lin Shanshan asked Gu Yiye to close the door and stand guard at the entrance before she took out the future instruments from her space and began to modify them.
The external structure couldn't be changed; we replaced the most important parts and the movement. This didn't take long, and it was finished by around 5 p.m.
The two walked home as the sun set, took the cordyceps upstairs to the second floor, and prepared to give it to their grandfather the next day.
The ingredients were placed in the kitchen. Lin Shanshan wrote down the steps for making a birthday cake, and Gu Yiye planned to make it early the next morning.
After dinner, the two of them took a walk with their grandfather for a while before going to bed.
Gu Yiye has to get up early tomorrow to make a cake.
Gu Yiye got up at five o'clock in the morning. With her lover by her side, Lin Shanshan slept soundly.
Gu Yiye glanced at his sleeping wife, whose face was flushed pink, kissed her cheek, and then went downstairs.
The cake took an hour to make, and just as it was finished, Aunt Xiang got up to prepare breakfast for the whole family.
"Xiao Gu, what is this? It looks like a work of art." It was the first time Aunt Xiang had seen a birthday cake. It was milky white and piled high with fruit.
Gu Yiye replied, "It's a birthday cake for Grandpa."
Aunt Xiang exclaimed in surprise, "This is a birthday cake? I heard Xiao Su mention it before. It looks really nice!"
As the daughter of a capitalist, Su Qingman certainly knew about birthday cakes.
In the 1970s, birthday cakes were not common. They were only available to those who studied abroad or to the more fashionable young ladies of capitalists on their birthdays.
Gu Yiye held the cake in both hands, preparing to take it upstairs. He said to Aunt Xiang, "Please don't tell Grandpa yet. I'll take it out during dinner to give him a surprise."
Aunt Xiang certainly said yes.
Third Uncle, Ren Shanhe and Ren Wuyang are only free in the evenings; they have to train during the day.
It seems my fourth uncle won't be able to arrive until later, so the birthday celebration is scheduled for the evening.
Gu Yiye took the cake to the nursery on the second floor, then pushed open the door to the master bedroom. He saw that Lin Shanshan was still asleep, so he hugged his little wife and went back to sleep.
When they woke up again, it was already past 8 o'clock. Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan finished washing up and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Ren Shiyou was already seated at the dining table, and the young couple said in unison, "Grandpa, happy birthday, may you live a long and healthy life."
Ren Shiyou smiled kindly: "Thank you, Aye and Shanshan. Come on, have some noodles."
Today, Auntie made longevity noodles. Everyone got a bowl. The noodles were glistening with oil, topped with a poached egg, shrimp, and a few crisp little green vegetables. It looked very appetizing.
After the two sat down, Lin Shanshan smiled and said, "Grandpa, you eat first. Take a noodle for the first bite, but don't bite it off."
Ren Shiyou smiled and agreed, picked up a noodle with his chopsticks, and slurped it into his mouth in one go.
Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan only started eating after Ren Shiyou picked up his chopsticks.
A bowl of light noodles in the morning is good for the stomach. After finishing his noodles, Ren Shiyou went to the army base.
The older generation can't stay idle; they're working even on their birthdays.
Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan drove to the school to check on the progress. They went home for a nap at noon, and after waking up, they just sat there idly, looking around the vegetable garden and watering the spiritual spring.
Rarely having a break, the young couple even set up a swing in the yard, with Lin Shanshan sitting on it and Gu Yiye gently rocking her from behind.
Rocking and rocking, it reddens the setting sun and intoxicates the evening glow!
Thank you for the little gifts, everyone!
