The 1970s Educated Youth

Chapter 119

◎Something happened◎

Compared with Gu Guanning's careless and perfunctory birthday gift, Xie Mingwang's gift from an elder was a little more straightforward and very endearing.

--

He gave Gu Heting six dollars and six cents.

It means wishing my nephew good luck in the future.

But Gu Heting was so happy that he couldn't see anything. He was happily holding the money while keeping a vigilant eye on Gu Wanning, fearing that the money would be snatched away by the girl Pixiu accidentally.

Gu Guanning puffed up her cheeks and looked away, "Isn't it just six yuan?"

Not to mention six yuan, she had sixty-six hundred and six thousand!

Moreover, the second brother may not know that Uncle Xie originally planned to give ten yuan.

It's her!

I persuaded Uncle Xie to cut it into six pieces and six cents.

Gu Guanning smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.

"Hehe!"

Gu Heting twirled a wad of money and counted it back and forth. He didn't take Gu Wanning's attitude at ease and just thought she was jealous.

This happiness lasted until my cousin Xie Xiaochen showed up with her cousin-in-law carrying a sack of sesame seed cakes.

Gu Heting pointed at the sack in disbelief, "Sister! You are my sister! Is this a gift from my sister?!"

Jiang Mingyue took out the painting that she had carefully prepared for three days from her schoolbag, and ran to Gu Heting, raised his head, "Uncle, give me a gift!"

Afraid that Gu Heting wouldn't understand, Xie Xiaochen explained in advance, "That's you in the painting."

Gu Heting lowered his head, half of his face twitching to take it, and saw a series of colorful flowers. There is no figure in the painting, it looks like the paint was poured directly on it, and I can barely breathe.

He touched the six dollars and sixty-six cents in his coat pocket and drew courage from it, "Yueyue, the painting is very good, don't paint next time."

The birthday dinner was very sumptuous.

There are steamed spicy sausages, roasted pork with bamboo shoots, sweet and sour meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled fish, braised pork with pickled vegetables and braised chicken legs and twice-cooked pork bought in the canteen.

Vegetarian dishes such as yuba and mushrooms are also available, as well as soft flatbreads made with yeast dough.

He didn't eat much at noon, so Gu Guanning was just waiting for this meal. He ate without raising his head and neither of his hands was empty.

Cheng Yanzhou simply brought the big bowl and placed the vegetables between the two of them. With his long arms, he held a spoon and added vegetables to the bowl one by one.

He also piled the meat on Gu Guanning's side, "Eat more meat. I left a bowl of the stuffing for the croquettes. I will steam a pot of rolls with cabbage tomorrow morning. Do you want soup or porridge?"

Gu Guanning's cheeks bulged after eating. It took a long time to swallow and free up her mouth, "I want to drink red bean and rice porridge."

She turned the pile of meat on her side to Cheng Yanzhou, "Eat more."

Gu Guanning ate the cake. She doesn't like to eat meat when making steamed buns. She feels tired of it and likes to eat it with rice.

But none of the people at the table liked rice very much. Instead, they enjoyed big steamed buns and meat.
