Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Li Wei's birthday soon ushered in, and after this day she officially entered the 27-year-old threshold. When he was in Daqi, his age was already quite embarrassing. Daqi had to be a grandmother in a few years after he got married early.

Early in the morning, Liu Chunzhi took Yang Man's pickup and went into the city to buy a bunch of ingredients. She would cook her daughter's favorite dishes by herself. When passing by a cake shop, Yinyin was attracted by the sweet smell. She stood outside the bright glass window and looked inward. Yang Man held her daughter and mother-in-law in her hand and said, "Mom, why don't we order a big cake. My sister-in-law will rarely come back for a birthday, and the next birthday will not be in China."

In the past, Liu Chunzhi might say what to do with that money, but today he agreed: "Okay, if Weiwei likes to eat chocolate, she will order a chocolate cake for her. There are many people in the family, and the size can be slightly larger. ."

"It would be great if Jianbo could come back." Liu Chunzhi said smoothly.

Yang Man listened to it, and she learned about the younger uncle and younger sister from Yinyin's father. Although this matter is still hidden from the two elders, it will become clear to the world sooner or later, so she said: "Mom, uncle, he will definitely come back. of."

Liu Chunzhi heard that with a smile, "Really, did you listen to Jianping?"

Yang Man said: "Jianping didn't say anything, but I think my uncle will definitely come back to celebrate my sister's birthday. This is a special day. My sister is going to leave soon. My uncle will make time if he doesn't have time."

Fortunately, Liu Chunzhi hasn't thought about anything else at this time. Her favorite family members are all around.

Yang Man really got it right. Li Jianbo came back after four o'clock in the afternoon.

When Li Jianbo arrived home, Li Wei was roasting in the room below. There was a big brazier in the local brazier with two sweet potatoes buried in it. The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes has floated along the open window.

"What do you eat, it smells like this!"

Li Jianbo pushed the door in, but saw Li Wei and Yinyin squatting by the brazier, Li Wei was holding an iron hook to turn over what was buried under the coal. Li Minghua was sitting on the recliner watching TV. Hearing the noise, he turned his head and glanced, and saw that it was his youngest son, with a smile on his face: "Jianbo is back."

Li Jianbo smiled and greeted: "Hello Dad."

Seeing her uncle, Yinyin ran over happily and yelled, "Uncle, uncle."

Li Jianbo squatted down and posted the apple-like face of his niece. Li Wei then looked up at Li Jianbo and smiled: "Where are you back?"

"Well, I have to come back no matter what."

Li Wei had already turned out all the roasted sweet potatoes. Yinyin immediately wanted to get it. Li Wei was too late to stop him. Yinyin was scalded, and she cried out in pain.

When Li Minghua saw her baby granddaughter crying, he felt distressed and said, "My dear, I'll give you a blow."

Li Jianbo walked over and said, "Let me see it."

Yinyin stretched out her hand. Li Jianbo knelt down and took a closer look. He wiped off the ashes from his hand. No blistering or redness was seen. He coaxed Yinyin softly and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Be careful later."

There were teardrops on Yinyin's face, a pitiful look. Li Jianbo gently wiped her tears, rubbed the broken hair on Yinyin's forehead lovingly, and didn't know what was whispered in Yinyin's ear, Yinyin burst into laughter.

Li Wei also peeled the roasted sweet potatoes for Yinyin, and repeatedly told her: "Eat carefully and burn your mouth."

With satisfaction, Yinyin took the roasted sweet potatoes and jumped out happily, as if she had forgotten what she had just cried.

Li Wei also cleaned up another sweet potato, handed it to Jianbo and said, "Second brother, want to eat it?"

Li Jianbo squeezed Li Wei's face, his eyes filled with tenderness: "You have loved eating since you were a kid, so you should eat it."

Li Wei lowered his eyes, thinking that she was still a child, and she was not Yinyin. She took the sweet potato and went out. She didn't want to stay with her second brother.

When Li Minghua saw these children interacting, he seemed to have gone back to when he was still young twenty years ago.

"Jianbo, sit down and we will talk for a while."

The father called him. He naturally sat down beside his father in a proper manner, listening carefully, and said: "Dad has something to ask you."

In the cold wind, Li Jianping and his helpers were taking care of the Christmas tree that had just been pulled back in the hall. The helpers entangled the colored lights. Li Jianping turned on the switch, but the lights just didn't turn on. Li Jianping said helplessly: "Let's find someone to take a look." Jianbo just came over and said, "I'll take a look."

Jianbo took a look in the past and found that it was a wiring problem, so he found the electric tape to re-wrap it again.

Looking at the flashing lights, Li Jianping smiled and said, "Jianbo still has a way."

"When I was in the United States, I had to toss about this stuff year after year."

Christmas is not popular here either.

"Your kid really came back, when will you leave?"

Li Jianbo said: "Hurry back to work tomorrow morning."

Li Jianping said in amazement: "Then we should leave early."

"Well, I must rush to the hospital at eight o'clock, and I will be in the outpatient clinic tomorrow."

"It's too hard for you to rush, but no matter how hard you work, you will come back?"

Li Jianbo smiled and said, "He who knows me, also the eldest brother."

"Then when are you two going to tell your parents about your affairs, so that I won't be able to remind me all day."

Li Jianbo shook his head and said, "It might not be that day."

Jianping was even more surprised: "What do you say?"

When it was almost dark, it rained in the sky and the temperature dropped a little bit.

The food was placed in the room where Li Minghua and his wife lived. The air conditioner was turned on, but it was still warm. Steaming meals are on the table, all in color, fragrance and flavor. Li Jianping took out a bottle of red wine that he had treasured for a long time and was reluctant to drink it. Everyone except Yinyin was poured into the glass in front of them. Li Minghua was also allowed to drink a small amount of wine.

Several wine glasses collided and made a crisp sound. As the head of the family, Li Minghua spoke first: "May Weiwei go well in the coming year."

Liu Chunzhi said: "Bring me a satisfied son-in-law earlier."

Jianping said: "The most important thing is good health."

Yang Man went on to say: "May we slightly get more and more beautiful."

Before Li Jianbo had time to say, Yinyin said first: "Sister, you promised me to take it to the amusement park in the future, don't forget."

Li Wei thanked everyone for their blessings and said with a smile: "No matter what happens outside, you are always waiting at home, tolerating me, and accepting me. I hope this family will always be harmonious and beautiful. Everyone in the family will Healthy and safe."

Li Wei took a sip of wine first, and Li Jianbo stayed there. He didn't have time to say anything.

After dinner, the birthday cake was served, and everyone sang Happy Birthday together. Li Wei looked at the candlelight jumping in front of her, and she would always remember this scene in her heart.
