Reborn 1980: Cannon fodder mother changes her life against fate

For Song Zhiyu's first birthday party, Lu Chuyao only invited three people, Sister-in-law Peng, Jiang Duofen and Yuan Lijuan.There was nothing she could do about it, because of her personality, she only interacted with these three people after coming to the family home.

Making homemade cakes takes time, so she endured her sleepiness and got up at 05:30, pouring cold water on her face to wake herself up.After briefly washing up, I pulled up my long hair and tied it into a bun, then got into the kitchen and started making preparations.

After a while of hard work, the cake finally took shape. I poured the cake embryo out and put it on a plate, spread it with homemade whipped cream, decorated it, and put fruit slices on it... Although the appearance could not be compared with the birthday cakes in the windows of later dessert shops, it was still Now, it has a mother's full love devoted to it.

Lu Chuyao was almost moved by herself, and thought narcissistically that no matter how expensive or exquisite the birthday cake was, it would not be as good as the one she made for her son.

At 11:30 noon, the invited guests came in one after another.The children were immediately attracted by the creamy fruit cake on the dining table and jumped around Lu Chuyao, "Auntie, what is this?"

Mantou grabbed the edge of the table and rested his chin on it, staring at it without blinking, and choked: "Idiot, this is a cake, a cake only for birthdays!"

The child who asked the question was Yuan Lijuan's youngest son Li Rongchang. He is four years old this year and looks very similar to his father Li Datong.Yuan Lijuan's eldest son Li Tianming is introverted. He has been sitting on the sofa silently since he walked in, looking a little dull.

Chen Manman is a little hot pepper with a small mouth, which makes Jiang Duofen often follow behind to apologize. No, Yuan Lijuan's face changed slightly when she said something stupid.After noticing this, Jiang Duofen apologized hurriedly and took her daughter away after apologizing, "Can you learn from brother Tianming and sit still for a long time?"

Considering that there were many young guests here today, Lu Chuyao didn't cook anything, and made a simple buffet mainly with snacks and fruits as a supplement.Fruits include apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, etc. All are washed and cut into small pieces for the children to eat with skewers.

Mrs. Peng's three children are well-educated. Although they are also greedy for the piles of delicious food on the table, they dare not move if their mother doesn't say anything.

"Chu Yao, I have never seen such a birthday party. Why do you have so many fantastic ideas in your mind?" Mrs. Peng glanced at the warm decoration in the living room and stopped at the coffee table, lockers and flowers on the dining table. superior.Connecting the corner of the kitchen, there are also dried flowers with a light fragrance tied with hemp rope.

The cozy small room that is different from ordinary public rooms also struck a chord with Yuan Lijuan's aesthetics. She was filled with envy, "This is what we call living."

"The sisters-in-law have given me a compliment, so I'll just do whatever I want." She pursed her lips and said modestly.

The process of Song Zhiyu's first birthday party is very simple. First, celebrate the birthday, then say blessings, and finally cut the cake and have the birthday meal.The little Zaizai, who was dressed up as a good boy by Lu Chuyao, was highly praised and loved by his brothers and sisters as soon as he appeared. The exposed fleshy arms and legs were so white and pink that people couldn't help but rub them.

Lu Chuyao put him on the carpet and placed a circle of things around him, "Hey, dear, let's see which one is your favorite?"

In the expectant eyes of everyone, the kid Song Zhiyu raised his fat butt and went straight to the abacus. After struggling to pick it up, Sister Peng was about to say a blessing, but the kid threw it away and turned around to crawl towards the seal specially carved for him by Song Mingze.

The little fleshy hand grabbed the seal and raised it in the air, waving it proudly towards her mother, as if to say: "Mom, look, I like it."

Lu Chuyao was so cute by her son that she hugged him and kissed him, "My dear, do you know that this is the first gift in your life that your father has prepared for you?"

"Bah, dad, bah."

The sisters-in-law immediately burst into joy, "Hey, it seems he really knows. What a villain! What a villain!"

The cake-cutting part is what the children look forward to the most, and everyone gathers around the dining table.Lu Chuyao lit the candles, held her son in her arms, and said softly under the warm candlelight with her beautiful face, "On your birthday, you need to blow out the candles and make a wish. You can eat after you make your wish."

She grabbed her son's hand and closed it, slowly closed her eyes, and promised in her heart that the whole family would be safe and healthy, Song Mingze would return smoothly, and her son would grow up happily.Blowing out the candles, "Okay, let's cut the cake."

"Oh~, cut the cake, cut the cake!" Li Tianming and Chen Manman couldn't wait.

After dividing the cake among the children, there was only enough for each of the four adults. Lu Chuyao's cheeks were slightly red and he felt a little embarrassed.Yuan Lijuan noticed her embarrassment and quickly comforted her, "We adults just need to have a taste. There are so many things to eat here. Hey, Chuyao, what kind of noodles are these?"

Lu Chuyao looked over and said, "Oh, this is called cold noodles. It's slightly spicy and salty. It's suitable for eating when the weather is hot."

"Well, it's delicious and to my liking. Xiao Yao, how do you make it? Can you teach me someday when you have time?" Sister Peng liked spicy food and ate a lot of cold noodles in one go.

"Okay, making cold noodles is very simple."

Knocking, "Is Sister-in-law Chuyao here?" A thin female voice came from outside the door.

It was Zhu Meili, who never showed her face to others. She stood timidly at the door with something unknown in her hand.Lu Chuyao wanted to close the door before she could open her mouth for a long time. Unexpectedly, this person could compete with her crazy mother-in-law. He was caught off guard and put his hand between the cracks in the door. Lu Chuyao was so scared that Lu Chuyao quickly pulled away.

"How's it going? Did you catch it?"

Sister-in-law Peng and others also gathered around, but Zhu Meili still looked like a little white flower. She covered her almost pinched right hand with her left hand and shook her head silently.

After two or three brief meetings, Zhu Meili's first impression in Lu Chuyao's mind was not very good.As a woman, she can see through Zhu Meili's disguise at a glance. Underneath her soft appearance is a heart unwilling to be ordinary.

"Just tell me what you have to say? I still have guests at home to entertain." Lu Chuyao's expression was cold and indifferent.Zhu Meili swallowed nervously and hesitantly handed over a bunch of things wrapped in old newspapers in her hand, "I heard that it's Xiao Zhiyu's first birthday. As a neighbor, this is a little bit of my heart."

Her speech was stumbling, and her tone was soft and weak. If the man standing opposite her at this moment was a man, he might be attracted by the posture and tone of this little white flower.It's a pity that Lu Chuyao didn't accept this trick. She was even very disgusted, so she responded very coldly, "I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't want to be associated with your family. After all, your mother-in-law..."

"I'm sorry, my mother-in-law is not a bad person, but she often can't control her mouth. I apologize to you again on her behalf." Zhu Meili kept bowing.

Sister-in-law Peng couldn't stand it, so she took two steps forward and pulled her up, "You kid, why do you always apologize? Your mother-in-law is your mother-in-law, and you are you." The world has always sympathized with the weak.

Zhu Meili looked at Lu Chuyao timidly, but stopped talking.Yuan Lijuan is a conscientious person and hates people who are hesitant in speaking and not generous, so she said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It will waste people's time."

"I want to borrow a bicycle from sister-in-law Chu Yao. I seem to be pregnant and want to go to the hospital for a check-up." Zhu Meili closed her eyes and quickly made her request.
