When Su He returned to Li Changshu's house, he saw Li Changshu and Teacher Wen sitting at the dinner table, and there were already several exquisite and delicious meals on the table.
Su He was also overjoyed. He thought this was carefully prepared by Li Changshu for him, but it was obvious that someone else was cooking in the kitchen, and both Li Changshu and Teacher Wen were sitting here. So who was cooking in the kitchen?
Just when Su He was confused, Li Hexiang came out with a plate of fish. When he saw Su He, Li Hexiang also smiled kindly and said to Su He: "Go and wash your hands quickly. I know you like to eat fish, but the West Lake Vinegar Fish
But I couldn't make it well, so I specially made a dish of rich squirrel fish for you, and this dish is also the best I can make."
After Li Hexiang finished speaking, he looked at Li Changshu out of the corner of his eye. Li Changshu had tears in his eyes and was very excited. This dish was definitely his favorite when he was a child. He still remembered that the conditions were difficult at that time, and he didn't know where Li Hexiang got it from.
I ordered a mandarin fish and made a squirrel fish dish for young Li Changshu. Neither Li Hexiang nor his mother moved their chopsticks during the entire dish, and Li Changshu ate the whole fish.
So at this time Li Changshu also understood his father's intention, and he was immediately moved to tears, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.
Just after Li Hexiang put the last soup on the table and was about to open the wine, he heard a voice coming over: "You are not good at wine. Since today is my sister-in-law's birthday, of course I have to drink good wine!"
Li Changshu stood up in surprise. How could there be someone else in his house? Li Hexiang looked at Li Changshu's reaction and stretched out his hand to signal him not to be nervous. Then he opened his mouth to the person who was speaking and said, "Come out to eat as soon as you are here. Family
People are even more polite."
I saw a man with a Chinese character face wearing glasses and a crisp suit walking down. Except for Li Hexiang, everyone present had seen this man. This man was the second senior brother of Qingxin who led the German army.
I saw the second senior brother walking up to the table with a smile and looking at the table of sumptuous delicacies. The second senior brother first took out a small exquisite gift box from his woven bag and gave it to Su He, and looked at Su He.
He said: "My little girl is one year older. When you graduate, hurry up and get married. I'm still waiting to train the next generation!"
Su He also blushed and took the gift from the second senior brother, and said thank you in a low voice.
Then the second senior brother looked at Li Changshu, took out a bottle of old wine from the bag, and said to Li Changshu: "This is pure Maotai wine that an old man in southern Guizhou has collected for hundreds of years. I am happy today and took it out to drink. I saw it last time.
My eldest nephew also didn’t bring any decent gifts, so I made up for it today.”
As soon as these words came out, Li Changshu was surprised at first, and then felt a little awkward. After all, he was not used to being called "eldest nephew" by someone who was more than ten years younger than him. However, seeing Li Hexiang's acquiescence, Li Changshu was also very happy.
He politely said quickly: "This gift is too expensive, how can I afford it?"
The German army said: "You don't drink alone, we drink together, and celebrate this girl's birthday by the way, let's have fun together!"
After saying that, Dejun took out another box from the bag and placed it in front of Teacher Wen. At this time, Dejun restrained himself a little and said politely: "It's not a small thing to show respect. I'm here to disturb you uninvited today."
Got it!"
Teacher Wen did not expect that he also had a gift, and was overjoyed with surprise. Then he greeted Dejun politely and respectfully called Dejun "Second Uncle". Dejun was flattered and said quickly: "Don't call him that.
Just my little one will do!"
Immediately everyone was seated, and the German opened the wine that he had collected for many years with a bang, poured a glass for everyone, then raised the glass and said a toast, and drank it all in one gulp.
Su He had never drunk white wine. She only felt that the wine was very spicy and she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. After Li Changshu drank one glass, his expression changed drastically and he quickly exclaimed: "This wine is really good.
I have never drunk such a good wine in my life, this wine should only be found in heaven!"
When the German army saw Li Changshu's happy expression, he also laughed and said: "Eat quickly, this is the food cooked by senior brother. Although it is not as good as mine, senior brother can't get good wine, so he can only come here
It’s time to cook!”
The senior brother glanced at the junior brother and said nothing more, so they gathered together, eating and drinking, having a great time, just like a family! Or in other words, they were a family!
Huan Xin knew that on Su He's birthday, he would definitely think of his father and the sad past, so he planned to invite some of his close classmates and friends to spend the birthday with Su He, so that she would feel that she was not alone.
But Huan Xin couldn't come back, so this task was handed over to his two senior brothers. It was obvious that these two people also completed this task very well.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Su He was moved to tears because he drank too much. He raised his glass and cried to everyone: "I really thank you all, thank you two senior brothers, from now on you are
my family!"
After finishing the drink, a wave of heat surged up, and Su He's smiling face turned a little redder. Teacher Wen on the side was afraid that Su He had drunk too much, so he comforted her and said, "Silly child, we are not family members from now on."
Yes, it has been so since a long time ago, and it will always be so in the future.”
Su He said nothing more and could only look at Teacher Wen and nodded gratefully.
It was the first time in so many years that Li Changshu and his father sat at the same table to eat and drink. Naturally, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. But every time he wanted to say something, he was given a drink by the second senior brother Hui, who drank several glasses of wine.
, Li Changshu also felt that it was a great feeling to be with his family, tasting fine wine together, and having a good time, so he felt that anything he said at this time was in vain, and it would be better to get drunk and then rest.
Li Hexiang also finished the meal calmly. Although his young face did not show the slightest change, his heart could not be calm for a long time. He thought of Chang Shu's mother and his life experiences.
I felt I was in debt to Li Changshu, so I raised my glass and said to Teacher Wen: "Thank you for your hard work over the years, as a father..."
"Okay, no matter how much you say, it's better to drink two more glasses. I still have a few bottles. It would be great if we can come and drink next time!"
When Li Hexiang listened to Dejun's words, he realized that this second junior brother was freer and more transparent than him. It was useless to talk about the past. It was better to seize the present moment. So Li Hexiang went on to say what Dejun said: "Okay.
Yeah, it’s time for Huan Xin to come back for the Chinese New Year. We’re still here, so why don’t you bring a bottle of this wine? If one bottle isn’t enough, bring it over and we’ll have a good New Year!”
The German soldier frowned suspiciously and said, "You won't go to the mountains this New Year?"
Li Hexiang said calmly: "Both uncles will go back for the Chinese New Year this year, so we will join in the fun and drink your good wine here!"
The German soldier burst into laughter, nodded his head and said loudly: "Don't worry, there will be enough wine for the Chinese New Year!"
In this way, the family happily celebrated Su He's birthday in an atmosphere filled with happiness, and it also solved a knot that Li Changshu had had for many years. He said that his father, who was younger than him, felt like a relative.
The feeling is even stronger. Seeing that my father's appearance has not aged due to the passage of time, I am very happy in my heart. It always has the illusion that my father is still young and still looks like me at twenty. There will be a lot of time in the future for my father.
I can also accompany him to mature and grow up slowly...
