【144】Birthday Cake
Shen Mo was wearing a white short-sleeved dress, and his slender and white arms were also exposed. Fang Changan felt a little guilty, letting go of her, and explained to Cheng Mengfei a little awkwardly: "Mo Mo came over to talk to me, and I accidentally bumped into her."
Cheng Mengfei may not have believed it, but he nodded and did not ask.
Chen Chengyan greeted the others, first got in the car and drove back to the road, and then took the three troublemakers back.
Cheng Mengfei was in the passenger seat, Fang Chang'an and Shen Mo were in the back seat, and she didn't talk much along the way. Fang Chang'an occasionally looked at her, and she would stare at her with her bright eyes. She must be shy when she looked shy, but she didn't look angry.
When he returned to Chen Chengyan's house, the cake had been delivered, and it was fifty yuan. Chen Chengyan didn't want Fang Chang'an to give money at first. Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, one code is the same, I have a dime every month."
Chen Chengyan smiled, not caring about this. Looking at the time, it was almost seven o'clock. The sun outside was about to sink to the horizon, and he said with a little no worries: "Why don't I send you back?"
Fang Chang'an said: "I'm riding a bike. Don't worry, I'm familiar with the road."
Chen Chengyan nodded and was about to speak again when his cell phone rang. He glanced at him and said, "It's Zheng Qicheng."
He then answered the phone, hung up after saying a few words, and said to Cheng Mengfei and Fang Chang'an: "The person with tattoos is a gangster, and the fat man is from the city. He said he was a cousin, he did some small business and called the captain of the city. As a result, when people heard that he was drunk, they said 'Official business'."
Fang Chang'an nodded beside him. Although some bad habits in this era are more serious than later generations, his overall image is definitely positive, well... I understand everything I know.
Fang Chang'an did not take this matter seriously. The most important thing is that Cheng Mengfei will definitely pay great attention to driving next. If she does not get pregnant next time, then the class teacher should be the head teacher at the beginning of school.
Fang Changan hung the cake on the handlebar and pushed the bicycle out of the yard. Chen Chengyan, Cheng Mengfei, and Shen Mo all followed him out. Fang Changan turned around and waved his hand and said, "Uncle Chen, Teacher Cheng, I'm leaving."
“Slow down the road.”
"good."
Fang Changan looked at Shen Mo again, and the little girl glared at him with her bright eyes, and didn't understand what she meant. Anyway, she looked very cute. Fang Changan smiled and turned around and stepped onto the bicycle and left.
Chen Chengyan had something to do, so he went to Gou Zhu's house again. Shen Mo was about to go back to his grandmother's house. Cheng Mengfei called her and returned to the living room. Then he asked in a low voice: "There is no one else here. You told your aunt, why did you blush over there just now?"
Shen Mo's little face turned red again, and he lowered his head to look at his toes, and then he felt that this seemed too guilty, so he raised his head again and whispered: "No."
Cheng Mengfei reached out to pinch her white and soft little face and smiled, "I'm still talking about panic? My face turned red!"
Shen Mo pouted and said a little embarrassedly: "I just talked to Fang Chang'an and said that the person always wanted to be someone else's son. Fang Chang'an lowered his head and listened to me, then laughed, and then turned around, no... accidentally touched me..."
"Where did you touch?"
Shen Mo's cheeks were hot and he whispered: "Face... on the face."
Cheng Mengfei asked in a low voice: "Dear?"
Shen Mo had no nerve to admit it, and shook his head hard and said, "No, it's the face... I touched it for a moment."
Cheng Mengfei laughed in silence, patted her head, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? It's not intentional..."
She knew that this little niece had always been well-behaved, introverted and shy, and had a good relationship with Fang Chang'an in just this year. She became familiar with many classmates through him. She heard that she was shy because she met her face and did not feel suspicious.
"Um……"
Shen Mo nodded and whispered: "I know..."
From my personal real idea, if Fang Chang'an and Shen Mo could always get along like this, even if they got together after growing up, Cheng Mengfei would be happy to see her success. However, both of them were too young and had a huge family background. Chen Chengli and Shu Mei were not easy to convince. This idea flashed through her mind and then she put it aside.
"After receiving the completed report, Chang'an is going to Wenzhou to see his father, and Mo Mo is going back to the city, so it will be difficult to see him in the future... Even if he has a bit of a hazy feeling now, it is not clear. As time goes by, he will naturally forget it..."
She thought this in her heart, looking at her niece's delicate and cute little face, suddenly she was a little sad inexplicably, stroked her soft hair, and smiled and said, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
...
When Fang Chang'an returned home, the dusk had completely shrouded. Fang Changming helped his mother to cook. Fang Yanran was waiting for him in the yard. Seeing him pushing his bicycle into the yard, he cheered happily. While coming up, he shouted in front of the stove: "Brother is back!"
When Congyan saw him come back, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did it take so long?"
Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "Teacher Cheng just got his driver's license. Before he could pass the novelty, he insisted on taking me for a ride, so he wasted some time."
He reached out and handed the cake to Fang Yanran, asked her to take it back into the house, and walked into the kitchen by himself. Fang Changming had a birthday cake at one time when he grew up so old. He was very excited to stuff some branches into the stove, jogged out, and went to the main hall to see his birthday cake.
Calmly saw it, but without saying anything, he asked again: "How much?"
"Thirty, Uncle Chen said that the boss is his acquaintance and should receive less."
Fang Chang'an sat down in front of the stove, took over Fang Changming's fire, and said with a smile: "I heard from my classmates that they all need sixty or seventy."
Nodded calmly and said nothing.
Although she and her three children were the only ones, they calmly tried hard to make a few more dishes, stir-fried beans, shredded potatoes, green pepper eggs, and cooked a tomato and egg soup. However, Fang Changming and Fang Yanran were looking forward to the cake more and before the food was served, they asked several times when they could eat the cake.
"No one stipulates what this means, you can eat whenever you want."
Fang Chang'an said: "Eat first, then eat the cake after eating, otherwise you won't want to eat after eating the cake."
Both little guys pouted, a little unhappy, but they still followed them to eat first. After they finished eating, they sat on the sofa and waited calmly, seeing this, "Eat, eat."
Fang Chang'an helped to move the dish to the side, put the cake in the center of the table, inserted eleven candles into a circle, and then took the ignition lighter from the stove, lit all the candles with a candle, turned off the light, and the other party said, "Okay, make a wish."
Fang Changming was wearing a birthday crown on his head, excitedly and unfamiliarly learning the wish that he had seen on TV. He knew that he could not say it, so he quickly opened his eyes excitedly, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Okay... Are you blowing candles now?"
A smile on his face calmly said softly: "You three are blowing together."
"good!"
Fang Yanran happily changed her position, counted "one, two, three", and blew a breath from three directions at the same time with her elder brother and second brother, blowing out all the candles.
Chang'an calmly turned on the light. Fang Chang'an noticed that his mother's eyes seemed a little wet, but her face was still smiling and she didn't say anything. The other party Changming smiled and said, "You cut the first knife."
Fang Changming clumsyly shared the cake with the cake cutter, watching calmly, and suddenly said, "Changming, you eat one piece first, and then go to the front to give two pieces to grandparents and your uncle's house."
Fang Changming was a little unhappy, but he did not refute. He ate one piece first, then cut off four pieces as my mother told me, served them on a tray, and sent them to the front yard with his elder brother.
On the 18th day of the lunar calendar, the moon hangs high in the sky, and it also looks like a cake that was chewed off by a greedy child. The two brothers walked through the road in the village and came outside the courtyard where their grandparents lived.
Fang Chang'an asked Fang Changming to send his two pieces to his uncle's house in the front yard, and walked into his grandparents' house by himself. Under the dim light, grandpa Fang Fukang was sitting in the east room, watching the news broadcast on a black and white TV. Grandma seemed to have just returned from the front yard and was talking about something with him.
"Grandpa! Grandma!"
Fang Chang'an shouted and walked into the main hall. Grandma looked over first. Seeing that he was holding two cakes in his hand, he had questions in his eyes.
Fang Chang'an stood in front of the main hall and explained to the two old men: "Today's Changming's birthday, I went to the town to buy a cake. My mother asked me to give you two pieces, and Changming gave it to my uncle's house."
"Why are you buying this thing?"
Grandma sighed, obviously not accustomed to this wasteful behavior, "There are so many flowers..."
Fang Chang'an was able to understand the consumption concept of the elderly. He placed the cake on the dining table that had been used for decades and could no longer be seen in paint. He smiled and said, "I asked someone to buy it. It was acquaintance and it was cheap. I'll put these two pieces for you, you can try it."
The old man nodded in the inner room and said nothing. Fang Chang'an then said, "Then I'll go home." He turned around and left.
After walking out of the yard for a while, Fang Changming also came out of his uncle's house in the front yard and went home together. Fang Changming was in a good mood and seemed to be excited and brisk when walking. He was always in front of the Chang'an of the house. After a while, he suddenly stopped and said, "Brother, when the Chinese New Year is over this year, I will also buy Yanran a cake, otherwise she will definitely be unhappy."
Fang Changan smiled and said, "It's rare that you can still think of your sister."
Fang Changming said dissatisfiedly: "She is my sister!"
After walking out for a while, Fang Chang'an looked back and saw a thin figure who seemed to hold something in his hand, walked into his uncle's yard, smiled, and turned around and went home with his brother.
Fang Changming and Fang Yanran rarely eat cakes, and meat is rare on weekdays. They don’t feel that the butter is so greasy. When my mother and elder brother finished eating, the remaining two were divided equally. They watched the TV and ate slowly slowly. They were originally planning to leave a piece to wait for tomorrow to eat, but after hearing from my elder brother that it would be broken tomorrow, they finished all of them reluctantly before going to bed.
Fang Changming and Fang Yanran, No. 7, also received the report sheet, so the next morning calmly took their three children to their grandfather and grandma's house. When they went back in the evening, they went to the field to look around.
The next morning, Fang Chang'an had breakfast and rode his bike to the school with Fang Ying and Fang Dianqiu. Along the way, he felt an indescribable emotion, and he felt a little disappointed.
