Chapter 63 Celebrating a Child’s Birthday (2/2)



"Little boy, do you know the director's aunt?"

Most of us know each other. I was in the guerrillas at that time, and it was my aunt who sent us food, guns and ammunition. Even the money for you to buy medicine was given by my aunt.

"Isn't that a ghost?"

"Amazing, I admire you so much."

"You guys can chat. It's already past midnight. Let's not talk about it. I'm helping Shuya's mother with cooking."

Before anyone could finish their words, Wang Li ran out to cook. She didn't want others to know about this little girl. None of these people knew her. If they knew that she had helped others so much, and in that era, she couldn't explain where the money came from, wouldn't that be courting death?

Xu Danian in the room: "Chen Guang, is your aunt really a ghost?"

It's been a while, I don't know. I was not at home at that time, I was working somewhere else. I only did a mission once, but my aunt knew Mr. Lu.

I thought to myself, no matter what you are thinking, just stop it, because my aunt knows all the important people.

"Well, you know Xie Yuyu, she's also my aunt's relative. Wang Yuhao, Xie Yujuan, and Zhao Yucai are all related to my aunt."

Xu Danian thought to himself, I heard that she is single and quite rich, and she is thinking that since I am single, I can find her for a second marriage, and she will definitely agree. But forget it, they are all powerful people, and I can't afford to offend them.

Wang Li didn't know that someone had been thinking about her for less than five minutes and then backed out.

For lunch, I made pork skin and soybeans, pork ribs stewed with potatoes, and stir-fried pork with beans. I heard a voice from Northeast China, and someone also made white meat with cabbage vermicelli and black fungus and yam slices.

(This dish is not available yet, Wang Li took it out from the space)

Braised pork, boiled pork slices, stir-fried meat and vegetables, the kid wanted to eat French fries, so I made some for him, fried chicken legs, and cold dishes included pork skin jelly, tofu with green onions, spicy white sauce, cold shredded potatoes, wraps, buns, corn soup, and a big cake. In this age of eating and drinking less, this is enough to be a feast.

Everyone took a deep breath as they watched the dishes being served.

"Everyone, come and sit down. Our baby, come and sit down. Why are you standing there?"

Four people came, some gave a scarf, some gave a shirt, some gave a school bag, and Xiaoxiao gave a small silver lock.

Chen Guang stood up and said, "First, I want to toast to my aunt. You haven't heard my story. Let me tell you, without my aunt, I wouldn't be where I am today. Without my aunt, I don't know if I would be begging now or I would have passed away long ago. Aunt, I toast to you."

"Child, don't say those things on such a good day. It must be predestined for us to take you in. Let's raise a toast to my little baby. Happy birthday, good health, and happiness every day. Cheers."

Everyone was saying blessings one after another, saying that the cake was delicious and that they wanted to make it for their birthdays when they get home. They wanted Wang Li to teach them. Wang Li explained to them one by one the steps of making the cake and the amounts to be used. Everyone was very happy.

Two days after her birthday, Dong Chenguang bought Wang Li a train ticket to Yan'an.

Shuya cried and refused to leave.

"Grandma... Grandma... Grandma, please don't go. What will I do if you leave? Woo woo... Woo woo. Finally, I cried myself to sleep."

In the evening, Wang Li brought Dong Chenguang to her room and gave him the box that his grandfather had given her, but Chenguang refused to take it.

"Aunt, if you give me more, you don't treat me as your own. I'll take all the pocket money you give me. You take this. I've always treated you as your mother. If you treat me as your son, you can keep it."

Wang Li was helpless. This kid was too honest. He would not accept the money if she offered more. She had no choice but to give him only 3,000 yuan. He kept pushing it and it took him a long time to accept the money.

At night, after seeing Shuya, he slept uneasily, so he left her a small box with two thousand yuan in it.

The next morning at 8 o'clock, Chen Guang drove to take her home. Wanjun insisted on going, but Wang Li did not let her because it was still early and the child was still sleeping at home, and she was worried.

"Aunt, remember to call me when you get there. Watch out for thieves on the road. Bring the boiled eggs with you. Did you bring a piece of cake?"

"Okay, let's go, hurry up."

Dong Chenguang, seeing Wang Li smiling, waved to his wife, "Hurry up, we're leaving."
