Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 196
It was still early, and Wang Weidong took the four brothers and sisters of Da Mao to the scene.

But the Temple of Heaven Park is too far away, relying on these short legs to run, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach it after dark.

There is no way, Erba Dagang can only turn on the Transformers mode.

Xiu'er sat in the back seat, and Da Mao stood behind Xiu'er.Ermao and Sanmao are still hanging on the front bumper.

Adults and children weigh more than 400 kilograms. Fortunately, Erba Dagang is of good quality, but the wheels are a bit flat.

"Ding Ding Ding!" The dishonest Er Mao kept ringing the bell, causing passers-by to stop and look sideways at each other.

Huo, what about juggling? !
It was getting dark, and Wang Weidong took his four children to visit the nearby parks.

The children's acting skills are getting better and better, and the effect is getting better every time.

Old men and old ladies, crowd after wave, headed to the street for office.

Wang Weidong was so happy from ear to ear, this is all money!
Considering that the children will celebrate Liang Ladi's birthday, the drama performance ended.

When the performance is over, it is natural to pay the salary.

Liang Damao and the others played a total of five performances today, and they were paid a total of one yuan and twenty-five cents.

When Wang Weidong was about to take out the money, Da Mao decided not to use the money, but to replace it with food.

Because food is more cost-effective than money, a catty of meat costs seventy-eight cents, but you need a meat ticket to buy it.

The cakes in the pastry shop also need flour tickets.

For the sake of their filial piety, Wang Weidong agreed without much thought.

Carrying four children, they came to Fuhuazhai Pastry Shop near Huguo Temple.

The background of this pastry shop is not small. The founder was born in a family of royal chefs and once served the Queen Mother.

But now, it is a public-private partnership.

Comrade waiter stood behind the vermilion lacquer counter and asked the children what kind of cakes they wanted to buy.

The pastries on the enamel plate are all crisped with large oil, and the crust is as white as snow, as light as a feather, as thin as a cicada's wing, and can be broken by blowing bombs.

The children were dazzled and swallowed.

However, after considering the price, Liang Damao finally made a decision and bought half a box of custard cakes and half a box of chrysanthemum cakes.

Liang Ladi likes to eat milk crisps, and Xiu'er likes the appearance of chrysanthemum crisps more.

Wang Weidong did not express any opinion. The children earned the money, so they should manage it themselves.

Then, I went to the Chaoyang Vegetable Market and bought two catties of pork.

Add some green vegetables, onion, ginger and garlic.

Counting the miscellaneous things, not counting the tickets, it cost a full three yuan and ten cents.

Faced with Liang Damao's pleading eyes, Wang Weidong said angrily that the extra 6 cents would be considered an advance payment.

In the future, it will be deducted from their salary.

Liang Damao pouted, this Wang Weidong is really generous!
Wang Weidong pretended not to see it, and drove the children to Nanyi's house on a bicycle.

Ask Nanyi to help cook a few dishes.

The last time these hairy kids shared pork, after eating a meal in the cafeteria, they kept thinking about Nanyi's cooking skills.

With enough ingredients, Nanyi was naturally the first to think of.

With Wang Weidong's help, Nanyi naturally did not refuse, and took the time to make them fried pork, twice-cooked pork, and Sixi meatballs.

Not to mention, the sales of meals are no worse than those in big restaurants.

After staying at Nanyi's house for more than half an hour, Wang Weidong sent the food back to Liang's house together with the four brothers and sisters of Damao, and then returned to Nanyi's house

When he first started cooking, Nanyi used the ingredients Wang Weidong gave to make two more hard dishes, and was waiting for him to have two cups.

Anyway, Lou Xiaoe went back to Lou's house to sleep after shopping, and Wang Weidong didn't need to worry about dinner.

Watching Wang Weidong disappear into the alley house on his bicycle, Da Mao scratched his head.

He wasn't sure whether he had made a profit or lost just now.

Meat tickets are useless for buying meat, and Wang Weidong lent him 6 cents, which must be a profit.

But that guy from Nanyi said that the cook can't cook for free, and he left two big plates of meat dishes.

This should be a loss, right?
Liang Damao kept this matter in his heart.

Nanyi, you who took advantage of me, I will look good to you in the future!

"What kind of vision, my mother's craftsmanship is not much better than that tailor on the street!"

In the alley, Liang Ladi muttered as she pushed her bicycle towards home.

Although she is a level [-] welder, it is not easy to support four children with that salary.

So she often picks up some clothes-making work from outside.

It's just that her craftsmanship is really hard to describe. After the big guy has been fooled twice, he doesn't want to ask her to make clothes anymore.

Regardless of the material, the styles are all the same, so what's wrong? !
Liang Ladi didn't know it, and still felt that she was the top tailor in the capital.

Walking to the door of the house, Liang Ladi was stunned to find that the house was pitch black.

Muttering to the monkey kids, shouldn't they go to other people's houses to rub their light again? !
In the past, Da Mao and the others often went to other people's homes to do homework in order to save her some electricity bills.

After parking the bicycle, Liang Ladi opened the door and walked in.

Just as he was about to reach out to turn on the light, there was a faint light in front of him.

Childish singing also sounded.

"I wish you good luck and longevity, I wish you a happy birthday, every year there will be today..."

Looking at the four children who were slowly walking towards her with cakes in their hands, Liang Ladi stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, feeling a warm current flowing in his heart.

She never thought that after her husband passed away, someone would celebrate her birthday.

The brats who used to worry her so much that they went to the house every day without a fight seemed to have grown up.

Da Mao came to Liang Ladi with his three younger siblings, looked up at his mother, and shouted in unison: "Mom, happy birthday!"

Liang Ladi was only touched before, but now she is directly choked up.

She wanted to speak, but her mouth opened, but she couldn't make a sound.

Tears rolled down her face, Liang Ladi couldn't bear it anymore, she knelt down and hugged the children.

Da Mao screamed in panic.

"Mom, cake, the cake is about to flip!"

Liang Ladi ignored Da Mao, and put the four little heads together with her own face.

At this moment, she felt that all the hard work in the past and the humiliation of being taken advantage of by men were all worth it!
It took quite a while before Liang Ladi realized, where did this cake come from?
Usually she doesn't give the children pocket money at all, how can they afford cakes!

Liang Ladi's attitude towards life is still very correct.

In order to raise the children, she can sacrifice her appearance to a certain extent, but she absolutely does not allow the children to do things like stealing chickens and dogs.

The emotion in her heart dissipated immediately, she let go of the four siblings, and asked with a serious face, "Where did you get the cake?"

Da Mao brothers and sisters were still quite afraid of Liang Ladi, seeing her stern tone, they immediately lowered their heads.

"Wang, Uncle Wang bought it." Da Mao replied cautiously.

Liang Ladi frowned, and asked: "Which Uncle Wang?"

"It's Uncle Wang who has a good relationship with Uncle Niu. He also helped Maverick make a match gun, which is very impressive."

Naturally, Liang Ladi knew that Uncle Niu in Da Mao's mouth was referring to Niu Zhijun.

If he has a good relationship with him and his surname is Wang, then only Wang Weidong is the only one.

Thinking of Wang Weidong, a strange expression flashed across Liang Ladi's face. She stared at Da Mao and asked, "Why did he buy you a cake?"

Da Mao wanted to find a reason to cover it up, but the younger sister Xiu'er was blunt and raised her hand to ask for credit and said to Liang Ladi: "Mom, we helped Uncle Wang with work today, and this cake is his reward for us. "

"Work? What work?"

Is it sewing bags?impossible!

Liang Ladi asked Jiao Min to intercede with Wang Weidong, but was rejected even if she wanted a temporary worker.

Will Wang Weidong take the initiative to arrange work for the children?

As long as you talk too much, now, we can't even save some money!Da Mao gave Xiu'er a hard look.

Seeing that his plan to make money had been exposed, he no longer blocked it.

He told Liang Ladi everything that happened this afternoon.

After Liang Ladi listened, her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"You mean, as long as you help out in a play, you'll get twenty-five cents each time?"

"Yes!" Da Mao nodded vigorously.

Liang Ladi couldn't help making calculations in her heart. According to what Da Mao said, they performed five performances today, and the cost was one yuan and twenty-five cents.

If this happened every day, wouldn't it be 37 yuan for a month? !
Good guy, the monitor of the cafeteria class only gets this little money a month.

Liang Ladi hurriedly asked: "Then did he say that it will continue tomorrow?"

"Say it, Uncle Wang asked us to wait for him in front of the rolling mill gate after school."

If it was another job, Liang Ladi would not necessarily agree to let the child do it, but acting in a drama sounds quite easy.

Wang Weidong is quite reliable, and he offered too much, Liang Ladi really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

Seeing that Liang Ladi didn't speak, Damao thought that she didn't like her brother and sister acting in plays, so he said cautiously: "Mom, don't be angry, if you don't like it, we just don't do it."

Liang Ladi suddenly woke up from her imagination: "Do it, why don't you do it?"

Brother and sister Da Mao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly.

And Liang Ladi looked at the cake held by Da Mao, and asked: "You have been busy all afternoon, just to buy this?"

"of course not!"

Da Mao brothers and sisters tugged on Liang Ladi's clothes and walked towards the dining table.

From a long distance, Liang Ladi could already smell the tempting meat aroma.

After approaching, I saw the meals on the square table.

She was both happy and annoyed.

The joy is that my child is not only sensible but also capable.

The annoyance is that the dishes on this table are too extravagant and wasteful. If converted into money, it would be enough for her family's food expenses for a week.

"Who made this? Don't tell me it's your Uncle Wang again." Liang Ladi said.

This time the children shook their heads, Da Mao smiled and said, "Master Nan Yi Nan made this, we asked Uncle Wang to find him."

It was originally made by Nanyi, no wonder these dishes are so exquisite.

Liang Ladi is an old worker in the rolling mill, so she naturally knows Nanyi's superb cooking skills.

After Silly Zhu's father, He Daqing, ran away, Nanyi became the monitor of the cafeteria class for a long time, until Nanyi was teased by Deputy Factory Manager Li and rushed to clean the toilet, and then He Yuzhu took over.

Seeing the delicious food on this table, Liang Ladi felt very distressed.

They are all meat dishes, too sinful!
Even when she was married, she never had such a sumptuous meal.

But she couldn't bear to blame the child's filial piety.

Forget it, anyway, it's a windfall, so just spend a little extravagance, and she, Liang Ladi, will follow the big family's example and celebrate her birthday once!
So she greeted the children: "Why are you still in a daze, sit down and eat, this dish should be cold."

"Mom, you haven't blown out the candles yet!" Da Mao held up the cake in his hand and said.

Liang Ladi looked at the little cake, smiled and patted Da Mao's head, and said, "I don't know where I learned this gaudy stuff."

"I heard from Xiaopang in the class that foreigners who celebrate their birthdays in Lao Mo's restaurant will put candles on the cake." Da Mao took out a candle from his schoolbag while speaking.

He borrowed the candle from Xiaopang at the cost of doing homework for two days.

Liang Ladi has also heard this saying, took the candle and put it on the cake, and asked with a smile: "Da Mao, a candle represents one year old, or ten years old. But my mother is 30 years old today, what should I do?" "

This.
Da Mao's face suddenly wrinkled, complaining in his heart that Xiaopang was too stingy.

Ermao, Sanmao and Xiu'er also rested their chins on the square table, thinking hard.

Seeing the children's serious appearance, Liang Ladi decided not to tease them anymore.

There is cake to eat, what more candles do you want!

"Mom, I know!" Xiu'er raised her hand, ran to the cabinet, moved a stool, and took out two mirrors from it.

What is this kid going to do?Liang Ladi couldn't figure it out.

I saw Xiu'er put two mirrors on the table under the suspicious eyes of her mother and brothers.

Then pointing to the candle flame shaking in the mirror, her small face blossomed with joy: "Mom, look, don't you have three candles now?"

This.
Liang Ladi hugged Xiu'er all at once, and kissed her hard.

"Xiu'er, you're so smart!"

Hearing this, the children were unhappy and raised their hands one after another:
"Mom, I'm smart too. You don't know. In the square, I recited a long paragraph in one breath!"

"And me, if I hadn't pulled my brother along, the drama wouldn't be able to go on."

"Well, my good children, you are all mother's treasures." Liang Ladi kissed each of the little cheeks.

Then, get ready to blow out the candles.

Not thinking about it, Da Mao took the cake away and said, "Mom, you haven't made a wish yet!"

Liang Ladi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What wish?"

Er Mao said solemnly: "Mom, foreigners always make a wish before blowing out the candles, it's very effective!"

"Ah? Is that so?"

Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao and Xiu'er all nodded seriously.

Liang Ladi smiled. Although she didn't believe this, she closed her eyes and made a wish according to what the child said, "I wish my child grow up healthy and happy!"

Then the candle was blown out.

Then the five members of the Liang family faced difficulties.

Cake first or dinner first?
This is a serious problem!
