My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 34 Birthday

Seeing his mother and wife entering the door, Xu Dong hurriedly stepped forward to take the sack from Yang Lina's hand.
"What is it, why is it so heavy?"

"It's potatoes, I bought [-] catties." Yang Lina replied casually.

"Why... why do you buy so much at one time?"

Xu's mother turned her head and explained actively: "The price of vegetables has risen sharply recently. Potatoes are durable. Buying more can save some money."

"You really know how to live!" Xu Dong said with a wry smile.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are foods that he never wants to touch again in his life. After all, he ate them for nearly ten years in his previous life, not every day, but every meal.

At that time, I didn't think there was any problem. After all, I was very happy if I was full, but after I was reborn, I didn't know if it was the opposite of extremes. Anyway, I felt nauseated when I saw it.

Xu's mother glared at her little son, "Who is it? Shut up if you can't speak.

Xu Dong quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Yang Lina took the opportunity to raise the convenience bag in her hand and said to her husband: "We also bought a turbot, which is braised in the evening. It must taste very good."

The dinner was very rich, with fish and meat. Xu Ma also chopped up a whole air-dried goose to make a hot pot. Although the goose meat was a bit fat, it tasted really good.

Satisfied, Xu Dong suddenly patted the dining table, attracting everyone's attention at once.

"Cough, Dad, Mom, Nana, I have an idea that I want to discuss with you." Xu Dong looked at a few people and said.

"If you have something to say, say it!" Xu Ma is still always strong.

"Well, isn't the day after tomorrow Coco and Lele's birthdays? I want to throw a party for them both at home."

"What... body?" Xu Ma didn't understand.

Yang Lina explained, "Mom, Dongzi is talking about a birthday party."

Coco and sisters are very happy. Many students in the class have held parties. They have also participated in several parties with good classmates. Naturally, they also want to have their own parties.

"Is this necessary?"

After all, Xu Ma is a person who is used to saving money, and has always disapproved of such bells and whistles.

The twins' faces paled.

Xu Dong immediately persuaded:

"Mom, Cocoa, many of their classmates have held birthday parties, so if our family doesn't hold it, isn't it embarrassing for your granddaughter?

Moreover, the two of them may be ostracized by their classmates because of this. "

"Is there such a statement?" Xu Ma was taken aback.

Yang Lina assisted: "Mom, it is indeed possible, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to hold a banquet, why don't you have one?"

"Grandma..." Lele grabbed Xu Ma's arm and said coquettishly.

Cocoa followed suit and grabbed Xu's father's arm:
"Grandpa is the best! Grandpa..."

Dad Xu surrendered immediately, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't shake it, Grandpa agrees!"

Seeing that the whole family agreed, Xu's mother also agreed, and the birthday party was scheduled for the evening of April 4.

……

In a blink of an eye, April 4 arrived. From 10:[-] p.m., Xu Ma and Yang Lina began to process the ingredients for the birthday party.

Xu Dong specially found ribbons and balloons, and dressed up the courtyard a little, so that the atmosphere was there.

After school, before five o'clock, the Coco sisters came back with three good classmates.

The three classmates were one man and two women. One of the female classmates had been to the Siheyuan several times before, and they all knew Xu Ma.

In addition to the three classmates, Xu Ma also invited Wang Xiujuan's family, but they haven't arrived yet.

The granddaughters celebrated their birthdays, and Dad Xu had a rare chance to leave work early, and he also prepared birthday gifts for the two of them, two identical phone watches.

"Welcome classmates to come to our house." Xu Dong greeted him while standing in the courtyard with a smile.

"Hello, uncle!" Several classmates were very polite.

Xu Dong took everyone into the living room, turned on the TV, turned around and left, as an adult, he wouldn't be able to play with the children.

As soon as Xu Dong left, Coco picked up the snack box on the table and distributed snacks to the classmates.

"This is delicious, I guarantee you have never eaten it."

Everyone said it was delicious. One of the male classmates said that he hadn't touched snacks for two months, which resonated with the other two female classmates.

"Does your family have no money to buy snacks?" Lele asked curiously.

The male classmate pouted: "It's not that I don't have money, it's that I can't buy it if I have money. The supermarket has already sold out."

"Lele, where did your snacks come from?" a female classmate asked immediately.

Lele thought for a while and explained, "My family used to open a convenience store, maybe the store sells leftovers!"

In fact, all the snacks were purchased by Xu Dong in advance, and there are more than 1000 boxes in total, which is very impressive.

After a while, Wang Xiujuan also arrived, along with her daughter-in-law Zheng Yan, and her grandchildren. The whole family except the male host was here.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the birthday banquet officially started. The banquet was in a buffet style, and the dining place was under the grape trellis.

Xu Ma and Yang Lina cooked a total of six dishes, namely chicken nuggets with potatoes, braised pomfret, fried bacon with green peppers, tomatoes mixed with sugar, fried cabbage and seaweed ham soup.

Plenty of portions!

Drinks are cola and orange juice.

The main food is rice.

Not to mention a few classmates in this battle, even Wang Xiujuan was stunned. Nowadays, it is hard to find meat in the market. I didn't expect Lao Zhang's family to be so generous.

Even if their family had internal channels, they would only be able to eat a meal of meat the next day, and the meat would be less than a pound in total.

"Old Zhang, your family is really hidden!"

Xu Ma explained with a smile: "That's all I have left at home. Didn't I sell dried chicken before? These are the leftovers from the sale."

Wang Xiujuan suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have really sold dried goods, which were said to be quite popular in nearby restaurants.

"No wonder! I said, why do you still have meat in your house!"

Originally, Wang Xiujuan wanted to take the opportunity to ask if she could spend money to buy some meat back, but she still didn't speak.

She is a person with good face, but her face is not thick enough.

Seeing that the children were holding their plates, Xu Dong couldn't wait, and quickly announced: "Don't talk about it, we'll start eating right away, or it won't be delicious when it's cold."

"Wow……"

The buffet was eaten for more than an hour, and all the food was wiped out. The adults and children were exhausted, drinking tea one by one holding water glasses.

After 15 minutes, Xu Dong personally drove the three students home one by one, and each student also sent a small package of snacks.

When she got home, Xu Ma was bidding farewell to Wang Xiujuan's family, and she seemed to be shoving something into each other's hands.

When the guests all left, Xu Dong immediately asked: "Mom, what did you give to Aunt Wang just now, so a big bag, wouldn't it be all meat?"

"It's up to you, Mom sends things for your own good, just wait." Xu Ma said vaguely.

Xu Dong was at a loss, why did he still have a relationship with him?
