A widower's entertainment

Chapter 53 [Children’s ideals]

Decheng, Chunfeng Lane.

Lin Youcheng didn't care whether anyone discovered the mathematical answer that was mentioned in the novel, because that was not important.

What matters now is Lin Zhaoqing's birthday.

Because it was Lin Zhaoqing's birthday, Lin Youcheng went to the state-owned store and bought a cake. I have to say that compared to cakes, which were ordinary snacks in the past, they are still a true luxury product now.

Fortunately, he only has six children. Even though Carrot Head celebrates his birthday every day, with his current savings——

Well, I can’t afford it either.

After all, an ordinary cream cake costs five yuan, and Lin Youcheng has six in his family. Leaving aside the youngest baby, Lin Zhaole, there are also five. Naturally, you can't buy a cake that is too small, and the price will naturally be more expensive. Some.

The twelve-inch cream cake was packed in a pink box. Although the style was old-fashioned and had a period flavor, it was the most tempting thing in the eyes of Lin Zhaoman and Lin Zhaohuan at the moment.

Lin Zhaoman and Lin Zhaohuan both looked longingly at the pink box cake on the Eight Immortals table.

"Dad, when can we have cake?"

Lin Zhaoman ran to the kitchen, looked at Lin Youcheng expectantly with his head held high, and asked, "I want to eat cake now."

"If you want to eat, you have to wait for my brother and the others to come back. Today is my brother's birthday, so I have to wait for him to come back, finish the meal together, and then eat the cake together."

When Lin Zhaoman heard Lin Youcheng's words, he naturally ran to the door in disappointment and began to look around and wait.

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

Lin Zhaoman stood at the door, waiting for Lin Zhaoqing to come back from school.

"Yes, why haven't you come back yet?"

Lin Zhaohuan also said something milky like Lin Zhaoman, but his eyes kept staring at the cake.

After finally waiting for Lin Zhaoxi to come back with Lin Zhaoqing and Lin Zhaomei, Lin Zhaoman immediately jumped up and down with joy, clapped his little hands and said, "Dad, brother is back."

"You can have cake!"

Hearing Lin Zhaoman's words, Lin Zhaoqing and Lin Zhaomei were both pleasantly surprised. They ran to the main room excitedly and saw a cake on the table. They were instantly overjoyed.

They had tasted the cake. It was a long time ago when Dabolin Youcai brought them a cream cake from nowhere. The taste is something they have never forgotten until now.

Lin Zhaoxi was also surprised. She knew that today was her brother Lin Zhaoqing's birthday, but she didn't expect that her father would actually buy a cream cake. Looking at the bright cake in front of her, Lin Zhaoxi couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

When Lin Youcheng saw Lin Zhaoxi and his sister coming back, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Go and wash your hands quickly. We are eating dumplings today. My eldest aunt made some dumplings and sent them over."

The carrot heads were even more excited when they heard that there were still dumplings to eat. Everyone was busy washing their hands and eating dumplings.

But in front of the cream cake, the delicious dumplings have to give in.

Everyone started eating from their bowls and looking at the table.

Seeing the carrot heads eating dumplings one by one and looking at the cake on the table, Lin Youcheng felt helpless and said, "Hurry up and finish the dumplings. You can eat the cake only after you finish the dumplings."

As soon as Lin Youcheng said these words, the carrot heads hurriedly ate the dumplings in their bowls.

As for the youngest Lin Zhaole, he was still drinking milk in Lin Youcheng's arms.

Lin Youcheng also knew that the little carrot heads couldn't wait to eat the cake, so when they finished eating the dumplings, he didn't put it off any longer. He also didn't intend to keep these carrot heads waiting any longer, for fear that they would be disappointed because of the cake. rebel.

Lin Youcheng directly started to put candles on the cake, and asked the birthday boy Lin Zhaoqing to make a wish.

Making wishes is not important at all, the important thing is to eat the cake.     Obviously, all the little carrot heads can't wait to eat the cake.

Lin Youcheng naturally gave a piece to each child fairly and also gave a piece of cake to his neighbor Zhang Weimin's house.

Lin Youcheng also tasted cakes from the 80s. Compared with later mousse cakes, ice cream cakes, and layer cakes, he can only say that the taste is average. The waxy hard and smooth texture left in the mouth is not what he imagined. Medium flavorful but very sweet.

It's even a little cloyingly sweet.

But at this time, this sweet and greasy cream cake was the most delicious thing in the hearts of these carrot heads.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Lin Youcheng looked at the carrots eating cakes in front of him and couldn't help but ask this question. He looked at Lin Zhaoxi and asked first: "Xier, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Lin Zhaoxi was eating cake. When he heard Lin Youcheng ask this question, he turned his eyes and whispered: "I want to be a doctor when I grow up."

doctor?

Lin Youcheng was a little surprised. Suddenly he saw Lin Zhaoxi lowering his head, as if he understood something. He couldn't help but touched Lin Zhaoxi's head and said, "Yes, you will become a good doctor."

Lin Zhaoxi looked at the small photo, thinking that he would become a doctor in the future, so that he could save people.

"I want to be a scientist!"

Lin Zhaoqing couldn't help but talk about his great ideal career.

Lin Zhaoman also raised his little hand and said, "I also want to be a scientist."

Lin Youcheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Lin Zhaoqing and Lin Zhaoman said. Although he didn't know which subject to study, it was good and very ideal to be able to say that he wanted to be a scientist.

In this era, scientists may be the most popular ideal profession.

"Zhaoqing, dad asked you the multiplication table of nine and nine. What is eight times nine?"

Lin Zhaoqing ate the cake, thought for a moment, and replied: "Twenty-nine!"

"..."

Lin Youcheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

Apparently, his future scientist son's mathematical talent was somewhat unusual.

Lin Zhaoxi couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin Zhaoqing's answer, and corrected Lin Zhaoqing: "Eight, nine, seventy-two."

Lin Youcheng did not laugh, but just said: "Zhaoqing, if you want to be a scientist in the future, you must study hard. The first and most important thing is to memorize the multiplication table."

Lin Zhaoqing, the great little scientist, ate the cake and nodded firmly.

Lin Zhaomei didn't care about the lofty ideals of her future scientist brother. She just ate the cake and said with a mouth full of cream: "I will be a saleswoman in the future, so that I can eat cake every day."

When Lin Zhaoman heard what Lin Zhaomei said, he immediately abandoned his ideal of being a scientist and said, "I also want to be a salesperson and eat cake every day."

Listening to the innocent words of Lin Zhaomei and Lin Zhaoman, Lin Youcheng, Lin Zhaoxi, and Lin Zhaoqing all laughed.

The room was filled with laughter and laughter for a while.

Even Lin Zhaole, who didn't understand anything, couldn't stop giggling while sitting in the cradle watching the scene in front of him.
