A few people talked and laughed until Su Guoyu's hands were almost numb, and the cream was finally up to standard.
Wen Guoer took the cake base out from the space. There was no other way, since there was no oven yet!
After applying layer upon layer of cream, Wen Guoer piled a big longevity peach on top with cream! Adding the words "Longevity as Long as the Southern Mountains" to it, it was so festive!
"This cake is the most beautiful one Xiaojie has ever seen!"
Xiao Jie stared at the exquisite, two-layer birthday cake in front of him in surprise, unable to believe it: "Is this really edible?"
Wen Guoer pinched his little face, took a spoonful of unused cream, and stuffed it into his mouth: "Try it, is it delicious?"
"Hmm!" Xiao Jie sipped the soft and sticky cream in surprise and nodded continuously! This was probably the most delicious thing he had ever eaten!
Wen Guoer looked at the little boy with a radish head, who was becoming more and more handsome!
I sighed in my heart: I wonder how many girls’ hearts this face will capture in the future!
Outside the yard, the old men had almost finished their meal. Just as they put down their chopsticks, they heard a childish voice singing birthday wishes.
Su Guoyu and Aunt Liu directly carried out the small table with the cake on it.
"Hey, Old Su, what's up with you? What's this white, fancy-looking thing?"
Old Master Zhou narrowed his eyes and stretched his neck to look forward.
Old Master Su didn't know either! He had never seen such a strange thing in the house before.
"My dear old men! This is the birthday cake that our Guoer made for our father. You all can try it later!" Su Guoyu explained when he saw the old men's surprised looks.
"Wow! Why is this birthday cake different from the one made by that foreign restaurant?" Old Man Zhou walked around the cake and exclaimed, "It's better than the one made by that foreign restaurant! It looks so festive!"
The old men have all seen the world! Western food is often served at many foreign affairs meetings held by the upper echelons.
But such a large double-layer cake is really rare! It attracted praises from the old men!
At this time, Xiao Jie walked forward obediently and pulled Grandpa Su in front of the cake.
Su Guoyu lit the candles.
"Grandpa, make a wish quickly." Xiaojie urged.
"Do you still want to make a wish?" The old man thought this was something strange and novel.
"Grandpa, you can make three wishes!" Wen Guoer reminded.
"Okay! Then I, an old man, will make a wish!" Old Master Su looked up at the sky and said solemnly, "Old friends in the sky, all of you, listen carefully!"
When the old men present heard his words, they immediately straightened up and looked in his direction with solemn expressions.
"My wish is that there will be no more suffering from war in the world, and the people will be free from the disturbance of war!" Old Master Su spoke in a voice as loud as a bell, his momentum seemed to penetrate the clouds and reach the sky.
"My second wish is that the country prospers and all people can live and work in peace and contentment, with no worries about food and clothing!"
Mr. Su's tone was firm and powerful, and his eyes were deep, as if this was not only his personal wish, but also represented the common voice of countless Chinese people.
Finally, his skinny hand stroked Xiaojie's head, his eyes gleaming with eager expectations for the next generation:
"My third wish is that these little ones can grow up healthy and happy, and live a peaceful life!"
......
For a moment, the whole world seemed to freeze, leaving only the beautiful wish echoing in the air...
"Good! That's a good wish! It shows the magnanimity of an old revolutionary like us!"
Mr. Zhou was very excited and was the first to applaud.
Others responded one after another, and warm applause broke out like a tide.
The crowd applauded for a long time! Mr. Su could not wait to eat the cake as he smelled its sweet aroma.
"Does the slap hurt? Do you still want to eat cake?"
This caused the old men to shout again...
As the birthday boy, Mr. Su gave everyone a piece of sweet cake. He felt very happy when he saw everyone eating it with relish.
"It's been so many years since I last ate something this white and soft! You know what, it's really delicious! It's perfect for us old guys with bad teeth!" Grandpa Sun looked very satisfied as he ate!
The old men all agreed and unanimously requested that Wen Guoer make cakes for them when they celebrated their birthdays.
"What are you doing? My granddaughter is very busy! How can she have time to serve you old guys?"
Old Master Su hid Wen Guoer behind him to protect her and started to chase people away:
"After eating and drinking, go back and rest, so you can gain weight! Don't waste those delicious foods!"
"Old man Su, you never say a good word! I don't know where you got the blessing to have such a good granddaughter!"
“…”
Finally, the old men refused to forgive each other and left the scene with a quarrel between them.
Just after seeing the guests off, the phone in the room rang and Su Guosheng went in to answer it.
"Is this Chief Su's home? This is the gatekeeper. There's a man named Wang Fei at the door, who claims to be your nephew. Could you please let him in?"
At this time, Su Guoyu, who was next to him, happened to hear the voice on the phone. Meeting Su Guosheng's inquiring eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became solemn.
"What's wrong with you two? You have such a bad face!" When the old man was helped into the room by Wen Guoer, he noticed that something was wrong with the two of them!
