Chapter 185 Birthday



Chapter 185 Birthday

It is Gu Yu’s birthday today, so he left work early because he wanted to spend more time with Xiuzhu.

But when he got home, he found that his wife did not greet him in the living room as usual, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He had gotten used to it. Every day when he came home, Xiuzhu would sit in the living room, then rush over and give him a kiss after get off work.

Without delay, he quickly went upstairs to the bedroom, but found that his young wife was not there, so he turned and went to the studio next door.

Studio was the name given by Xiuzhu. She said it was her working bedroom and anyone entering had to get her permission.

Gu Yu knew that this “anyone” was referring to himself.

Besides him and Xiuzhu, there was only Aunt Wang in the house, but Aunt Wang was very sensible and would not enter the bedroom.

On weekdays, he is the one who cleans the frequently used rooms.

Gu Yu felt that his wife had changed recently. She was hiding things from him and was staying in this studio all day long.

The key point is that she didn't allow herself to go in, saying that this was her private area.

I was very angry. He was also her personal husband and her personal thing. Why should they be separated?

“Knock, knock…”

"My dear, I'm back. I'm tired from work. Come out and take a rest. I missed you so much."

Even though she was angry, the words she said were still as sweet and beautiful as ever.

"Why are you back so early today? Go back to your room first. I need to be busy for a while." Xiuzhu shouted in the room, her tone sounding a little anxious.

Today is the old man's birthday in the family. She has been preparing for it for a long time and just wants to give him a surprise.

This was their first birthday after marriage, and she wanted him to remember it for the rest of his life, so that he would love her more and be more easily controlled by her.

She thought that no one used birthday cakes in the 1960s, so she would make one for him herself.

It's easy to think about, but difficult to do. There are no egg beaters now, so she had to beat the egg whites with chopsticks, which was very tiring.

It would be fine if she could make it even if she was a little tired, but she really has no talent for cooking.

After several failures, almost a basket of eggs was wasted...

Aunt Wang was helping to light the fire in the kitchen. She didn't say anything at the time, but the look in her eyes was a clear condemnation of herself.

Fortunately, the cake was successfully steamed before Gu Yu got off work.

Conditions were limited at that time and cream was unavailable, so she cut the cake into pieces, placed some fruits in the middle, then melted the chocolate and used chocolate sauce to draw a smiley face on the cake. Finally, she inserted a birthday card on a bamboo stick and it was done!

Birthdays should be celebrated with a sense of ceremony, and Xiuzhu even made clothes for each of them.

She made a pink one-shoulder dress for herself and an executive jacket for Gu Yu, which was more fashionable and stylish than the popular Zhongshan suits.

Everything was ready, and Xiuzhu carefully dressed herself up.

After all, she is also an important part of this birthday.

Gu Yu was lying alone on the bed, looking a little lonely.

Knowing that his wife had a bad memory, he specifically told her to wait for him at home before leaving this morning, saying that it was his birthday today and he wanted her to be with him.

But after getting home from get off work, Xiuzhu seemed to have left him aside. After waiting in the house for a long time, she still didn't come out of the studio. It seemed that she had forgotten about him.

Or maybe you don’t like it enough or care about it enough?

Today is his birthday and he will be 27 years old, which makes him nine years older than Xiuzhu. Logically, he should not be so pretentious, but he just can't control his emotions.

While Gu Yu was daydreaming, the door of the room was quietly pushed open.

"Ding dang dang~ Happy birthday to Comrade Gu Yu, the husband of Lin Xiuzhu, the most beautiful fairy in the universe." Xiuzhu's big eyes were sparkling with happiness, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a row of white teeth.

The girl's laughter in the room sounded like clear silver bells.

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in great joy, and he was full of happiness.

"Thank you, my dear. It's great to have you." He couldn't wait to go forward and hug this woman who touched his body and mind.

I want to use practical actions to ease my current excitement.

"Oh, be careful with the cake." Xiuzhu exclaimed. She had started making this in the morning and it was not easy to succeed. It couldn't be ruined.

Seeing that the man opposite seemed a little regretful, she shyly added: "Don't worry, I'll accompany you after dinner."

"Okay." Gu Yu suddenly smiled as if in the spring breeze, and tried hard to suppress the urge to laugh out loud.

"Please change your clothes. I made this outfit for you. It took me a week to make it. It matches the skirt I'm wearing very well. We're celebrating today, so we should dress formally and have a sense of ceremony." Xiuzhu said excitedly as she handed over the finished executive jacket and white shirt.

When Gu Yu changed his clothes and came out, she couldn't help showing her infatuated face.

A black executive jacket makes Gu Yu's face more handsome and stylish. The clothes are well-tailored, perfectly showing his tall posture and outstanding temperament.

"My dear, I have never seen this style of clothes before, but it is indeed better-looking than the ones I had before, and it fits me very well. You know my size very well." Gu Yu's eyes moved and his tone was ambiguous.

Xiuzhu: ...

"Come downstairs and eat. Auntie Wang has prepared it in advance. Keeping it in the pot for too long will affect the taste." She quickly changed the subject, fearing that the two would continue to argue and end up in bed.

But seeing his improper look, Xiuzhu knew that she would be very tired tonight and wanted to regret it...

Gu Yu also agreed and decided to go downstairs to eat and drink before doing other things. After all, he needed to replenish his wife's energy.

Since today was an important day, Xiuzhu decided to splurge. She asked Aunt Wang to prepare a very sumptuous dinner, with eight dishes and one soup.

The two of them came to the kitchen, and Xiuzhu opened the lid of the pot and showed off, "Look, the dishes are all full. There are two big pots and one small pot in the house, and they are all occupied."

Although it was the 1960s when material was scarce and although there were only the two of them, she still wanted a sense of ceremony and was unwilling to make do with every holiday.

Gu Yu didn't feel it was luxurious at all, he only felt his little wife's deep love for him.

Besides, if he can't let his wife spend money and tickets at will, then his life would be too failed.

Facing this table of delicious dishes, Gu Yu looked at his wife tenderly, "Thank you for your hard work. These are all my favorites. I don't know which one to eat first."

He was not lying. Xiuzhu spent a lot of money on this dish, and each dish was amazing when taken individually.

On the table there were fried eggplant boxes, braised fish, braised pork, fried river shrimps, salt-baked chicken, four-happiness meatballs, garlic vermicelli and cabbage, pan-fried tofu, and pork rib soup.

The two of them were in a good mood and opened a bottle of wine they brought back from Hong Kong.

With wine, meat and beautiful women, Gu Yu’s 27th birthday will be remembered in his heart for the rest of his life.

Even in his twilight years, he would still talk about it with his wife by his side and thank her for the beautiful memories she gave him.
