The feeling of riding a pony is definitely different from that of riding a big horse. Chen Ziyi looked at the big black horse that his uncle and his younger brother rode, and then looked at the small pony that he himself was riding, which was not even as tall as him. No matter how he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable.
"Uncle, I want to ride a horse, too. Can you take me for a run?"
Peanut and Shen Erbao were very good brothers. When they heard that their elder brother also wanted to ride a big horse, they actively exchanged with him. Cao Jingheng was sold out by his son and served as a tool for more than half an hour, leading the boys who originally rode the ponies to run around the wall.
On Peanut's first birthday, he received a huge gift from his great-grandfather. He rode horses and played in the water for a long time. In the cold weather, soaking in a hot pool was no different from soaking in a hot spring. The kids had a great time.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I got home. The little guy was so tired that he lay on his father's shoulder and fell asleep very soundly. He couldn't be woken up even if I called him with snacks.
It is said that a child's birthday is also the mother's day of suffering. Shen Anning did not suffer much when she gave birth to Peanut. She was well taken care of during the confinement period. Apart from gaining a few pounds of weight, there was no other change.
So Shen Anning never thought that her family would prepare a gift for her son on his birthday.
Today, Cao Jingheng was holding his son and walking behind him. Shen Anning didn't think it was strange at all. After all, he was tired all day.
Walking into the small courtyard where the couple lived, Cao Jingheng's steps became disordered for a moment, and then returned to normal. Seeing that his wife, who was walking in front of him with a flashlight, did not react at all, he felt relieved.
When Shen An Ning was about to open the door with the key, she heard the man next to her want to help her hold the flashlight, so she handed it to him. She entered the house and touched the switch on the wall. The moment she turned on the light, she saw the things in the room. Shen An Ning was shocked and turned to look at Cao Jingheng.
"When did you do it? We've been together all day." Shen An Ning was really surprised. What time is it now? It might even snow in Beijing today. Where did the man find so many flowers in full bloom?
"Honey, you didn't buy them in a flower shop, did you?" Looking at Cao Jingheng's mouth, Shen Anning was particularly afraid that he would say yes. If he bought so many flowers from a flower shop in this cold weather, it would not cost just one or two hundred yuan.
Cao Jingheng knew what his wife was thinking. He half-hugged her as they walked in and explained, "I didn't buy it at the flower shop. My comrade was assigned to the Commercial Bureau after he retired. One day before the New Year, I had dinner with him and he told me something. He said that people can do any kind of business these days, and a rich man invested 5 million to register a flower and gardening company.
Think about it, hasn't the greenery in Beijing improved a lot in the past two years? There are even off-season vegetables. In the past, we could only eat radishes and cabbages in winter, and green vegetables were rare. Look at the years since the reforms, there have been countless greenhouses built in the suburbs of Beijing. I think this flower company must have its own flower gardens, and they must still have fresh flowers in their greenhouses during the winter, so I asked my comrades to keep an eye out for them.
Shen Anning looked at the sea of flowers arranged in the shape of a heart in the middle of the living room. Every flower was so beautiful in her eyes. "So, you didn't start planning this day from then on, did you?"
Cao Jingheng was about to speak when his son in his arms kicked him twice unconsciously. He had no choice but to hold his wife's hand and send Peanut to the bed in the inner room. He had been having a great time today, and the little guy didn't move at all when he was put on the bed.
After blocking the bed with two quilts, Cao Jingheng took Shen Anning's hand and returned to the living room with confidence. The couple nestled on the sofa together. Cao Jingheng touched his wife's hair and said, "Baby, do you know? What I remember is never Peanut's birthday, but the day you gave birth to him. Although everything went so smoothly that day, the dozens of minutes you spent in the delivery room felt like a year to me. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has never been so impressive in my mind."
Being pressed down on the sofa by the man and kissed until her whole body was limp, Shen Anning hooked her hands around the man's neck, but Cao Jingheng actually widened the distance between them and sat up.
Shen Anning's mind was clear. What was going on? She was just feeling emotional. Did this man not want to live anymore?
Seeing the seductive and accusing look in his wife's eyes, Cao Jingheng smiled, took off his wrinkled coat and sweater, and smiled, "You haven't finished looking at the gifts yet, don't worry, your husband belongs to you alone tonight."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're the only one who keeps talking. Why don't you take me to see what other gifts you have? If it's something I don't like, you can just wait."
His wife was the most stubborn person in the whole body. Cao Jingheng had already understood this and hugged her forcefully. "Just now you only saw the flowers, but didn't see the things placed among them. Didn't you ask me when I would have time to come back and do these things today? I designed the shape of the flowers, but I definitely didn't place them. You know that my hands don't obey my instructions when I do these delicate jobs."
Ana Shen thought about it carefully, “Cousin Wenjia?”
"Guessed it?"
Shen An Ning pinched the flesh on the man's mouth and forced the smile on his lips to disappear.
"I'm not stupid. After lunch at noon, Sister Wenjia took her brother-in-law and children and said she had something to do at home. You and grandparents wouldn't let anyone in casually. I can't think of anyone else except her."
Because he was afraid that the flowers would not live long if only the branches were left out of the soil, Cao Jingheng asked the flower company to provide most of the flowers with pots today, and only the largest bouquet in the middle was wrapped in gift paper.
He carefully placed the bouquet in his wife's arms and rummaged through the dozens of flowers with his fingers, "Here, this is the gift your husband prepared for you."
The necklace is made of diamonds with an amethyst pendant hanging in the middle. It sparkles so brightly under the light that people can't help but blink many times.
"So beautiful, I like it."
Seeing his wife laughing happily, Cao Jingheng also laughed. "I got these diamonds and amethysts when I was on a mission abroad. I've been keeping them and don't know what to do with them. It's not that I didn't want to give them to you before, baby. After we get married, all my money will be yours. If I want to give you a gift, I have to have something presentable. The labor alone cost nearly a thousand. My year-end bonus this year and the pocket money I save up will barely cover it."
She changed into a pretty little dress, put on a necklace, and took several photos with the equally handsome Cao Jingheng. When she was carried out of the bathroom by the man, the drowsy Shen Anning pinched the man's ear with the last bit of clarity in her mind and asked, "Hubby, will you give me a gift every year on Peanut's birthday? Do you have enough hidden goods in your hand?"
Thinking of the pink crystal in the small treasury, Cao Jingheng kissed his wife's face. He would work hard this year. If they had a little princess next year, it would be a meeting gift for his precious daughter. He would then find a better one for his wife. If not, he would give her a pink crystal on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year.
