Chapter 262 Happy Birthday to Shanshan
Today is an auspicious day. Gu Yiye got up very early to cook longevity noodles for his 19-year-old wife.
Lin Shanshan woke up to the aroma of the noodles and saw Gu Yiye holding a bowl of noodles, looking at her with a happy expression. She felt very sweet inside: she knew this man would not forget her birthday.
"Happy birthday, my dear wife. After eating longevity noodles, let's grow old together."
Lin Shanshan picked up her chopsticks, chose a noodle, and slurped it down.
"Okay, I'll grow old with A-Ye."
As planned, Gu Yiye took Lin Shanshan back to her family home: "Honey, I can't come back from the army at noon. You should go to your parents' house for lunch, and I'll pick you up tonight. Okay?"
Lin Shanshan nodded, agreeing to the arrangement.
Then, she looked at Gu Yiye with expectant eyes, "No birthday present?"
Gu Yiye knew what Lin Shanshan was thinking, but for the sake of the surprise that evening, he pretended not to see it.
I drove to the staff dormitory building of the First People's Hospital.
Lin Shanshan felt a little disappointed and her heart ached.
Perhaps, Gu Yiye was too good to her, which made her have even higher expectations of him.
But is it really true that there are no gifts on birthdays?
Looking at Lin Shanshan's disappointed and aggrieved expression, Gu Yiye felt a pang of heartache and almost told her about the house.
Fortunately, Lin's mother heard the car horn and came downstairs.
"Happy birthday, my dear daughter! You're another year older. I wish you peace and happiness every year."
Gu Yiye breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Lin Ma, and drove off to the military base.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would immediately reveal the surprise.
Lin Shanshan glanced at the car exhaust, pursed her lips, composed herself, and smiled at her mother.
"Thank you, Mom. I also wish you more happiness and beauty every year."
Lin's mother smiled from ear to ear as she led her beloved daughter upstairs.
Having not seen each other for a while, the mother and daughter had a lot to talk about.
Lunch was plentiful, and Lin Shanshan ate her fill. The room was also very warm. She felt sleepy very easily.
After taking a nap and eating fruit, at 4 p.m., her older brother and sister-in-law finished their early shift and went home. The first thing they did was give Lin Shanshan her birthday present.
The gift was a set of early childhood education books. Since Wenyu is a teacher, this was the most suitable gift.
"Shanshan, we can show this to the baby after he/she is born. It's all comics, so they can get a taste of color."
"Thank you, sister-in-law and brother," Lin Shanshan said sweetly.
At this moment, Lin's father suddenly said, "Nannan, come with your parents to Uncle Guo's house. Your older brother and sister-in-law will come too."
Lin Shanshan was a little confused and asked, "What are we going to do at this time?"
She was waiting for Gu Yiye to pick her up.
Lin's mother said, "Old Guo has invited our family to visit many times. Your father had artificial heart surgery recently and has been very busy. Today, since our family is free, let's go."
Lin Shanshan said, "But Aye is still coming to pick me up."
It's her birthday today, and she doesn't really want to visit other people's homes.
And why are her parents, who have always doted on her, acting so strangely today? Why would they go to someone else's house on her birthday?
Lin Shanshan always felt that they were hiding something from her.
To complete the task assigned by his son-in-law, Lin's father hurriedly said, "We'll just go to Lao Guo's house for a bit and then come right back. It won't delay A-Ye from picking you up."
Having said that, Lin Shanshan had no choice but to agree.
Wearing a scarf and gloves, Lin Shanshan went out with her parents, older brother, and sister-in-law.
The eldest brother was driving, with Lin's father in the passenger seat and Lin Shanshan seated in the middle of the back. Along the way, Lin's mother and Wen Yu kept chatting with her, so Lin Shanshan didn't have a chance to look out the window and didn't even notice that the car had veered off course towards Lao Guo's house.
When Lin Shanshan got out of the car, she belatedly realized that this was not Uncle Guo's house at all.
Looking at the impressive little house surrounded by a beautiful courtyard, Lin Shanshan had a thought: Could this be a birthday gift from her husband?
However, she immediately shook her head.
Gu Yiye handed over all his salary, so he had no money to buy anything.
If Bai Xue and her grandfather were to give money, it would definitely be to Lin Shanshan.
Just as Lin Shanshan was deep in thought, Gu Yiye came out of the small Western-style building.
Against the backdrop of the setting sun, he strode with his long, straight legs toward Lin Shanshan with deep affection.
The light shone on Gu Yiye, outlining his perfect inverted triangle physique, exuding hormones that attracted Lin Shanshan's attention.
"Happy birthday, my dear wife. This is a birthday present for you, our home. My home with you and our children."
Lin Shanshan, with a mixture of surprise and confusion, asked, "What is this house?"
Gu Yiye replied, "It's a reward for the merits I made last time."
Lin Shanshan calculated the time; it had been almost two months. She gave Gu Yiye a reproachful look and said, "You've been keeping it a secret for a long time."
Gu Yiye led Lin Shanshan to the sunroom and said with a smile, "To plant the most precious Juliet rose for my most beloved and beautiful little wife."
Lin Shanshan gazed at the room full of roses; their gentle colors, reflected in the sunset through the glass, were as beautiful as a masterpiece.
"Honey, do you like it?"
