Chapter 119 9 years old, the origin of Dongsheng.
"Dongsheng, you're nineteen years old. Congratulations."
When Xu Dongsheng was cooking, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Xu Dongsheng opened the door and looked back. It was Sha Zhu who came back. Sha Zhu saw Xu Dongsheng and immediately smiled and talked to Xu Dongsheng. At the same time, he took out a bag from his back and handed it to Xu Dongsheng.
"Brother Zhuzi, I'm so sorry. Come over to my house for dinner later. I've prepared some delicious food. Can you try it then?"
Xu Dongsheng was surprised. He thought it might be Xu Damao who came back to celebrate his birthday, but he never thought it was Sha Zhu. What happened to Sha Zhu? Ever since Sha Zhu was educated by the uncle and could live by relying on him, he had no good feelings towards their family.
And after what happened to He Yushui, it can be said that he broke up with Xu Dongsheng's family. Although Xu Dongsheng's family had helped He Yushui before, and after the incident was exposed, Xu Dongsheng's family was still good to He Yushui. Whenever He Yushui couldn't stand it and came home, he would be stuttered. However, in Xu Dongsheng's impression, it seemed that this was the first time that Sha Zhu said happy birthday to him.
Xu Dongsheng did not refuse Sha Zhu's kindness and took the bag from Sha Zhu. It was a bag of peanuts, about half of what Xu Dongsheng gave to Zhang Shenglei's family, a little less than two and a half kilograms. Although Xu Dongsheng was not interested, the gift was small but the sentiment was great. People had given their blessings, so Xu Dongsheng was willing to invite him to his home for a meal.
"No, Dongsheng, if Auntie and the others don't come back today, I still have to cook for the old lady. Let's go."
Sha Zhu chuckled, shook his head, then said something to Xu Dongsheng and left, leaving Xu Dongsheng confused. Xu Dongsheng looked at Sha Zhu's back and thought that this was very strange, quite strange.
"Dongsheng, today is Double Ninth Festival, and you gave birth again, haha."
Xu Dongsheng watched Shazhu go to the middle courtyard. At this time, Uncle Zhou also came back from outside and greeted Xu Dongsheng with a smile. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, which is also Xu Dongsheng's birthday, so he should congratulate Xu Dongsheng.
"Yes, Uncle Zhou, you are nineteen years old now. Did you light the stove at home today? If not, come to my house for a meal. I steamed buns today."
Xu Dongsheng was originally going to steam the cake, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. Once this thing was made, only his family could eat it. It would be a hassle for other people to see it.
"No, my second son came home with the kids for a quick meal today, so I came back early."
Grandpa Zhou declined Xu Dongsheng's offer with a smile on his face. Old Zhou had only this one daughter, as his eldest daughter died young. Although his daughter couldn't come back to see him during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was very happy to be able to come back during the Double Ninth Festival.
"Well, that's great. Now that my second sister is back, the house will be lively again. Wait a minute, I'll get you two steamed buns for my second sister's two boys to try."
After Xu Dongsheng finished speaking, he ran towards his steamer, took a large bowl, and filled it with five steamed buns. The large amount of steamed buns was definitely enough for a meal for five people.
"How bad is that."
Lao Zhou did the same as Xu Dongsheng when he took the peanuts from Sha Zhu. He said it was not good but accepted it anyway. Then he told Xu Dongsheng that he would deliver the bowl to him tomorrow. Xu Dongsheng nodded in agreement.
After seeing off Grandpa Zhou, Xu Dongsheng looked over from the hanging flower gate and saw the open door of Sha Zhu's house. The deaf old lady was sitting in Sha Zhu's house, looking at Sha Zhu with a kind face as he was busy cleaning up the dishes and pots.
"Grandma, let's just eat something casually today. We didn't prepare any special meals for everyone today, so there's no meat. Please forgive me."
While Sha Zhu was cleaning up, he discussed with the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady didn't say anything, but just smiled and showed a tooth.
Xu Dongsheng didn't hear anything and didn't see anything, so he didn't care. He thought that it might be that Sha Zhu suddenly thought of it. After all, his family didn't help Sha Zhu directly, but they also helped Sha Zhu's sister. Maybe they gave the gift because of this friendship.
"Dad, you're back?"
Just as Xu Dongsheng prepared all the dishes, Xu Dazhuang came back, and almost all the workers in the factory came back, and Jia Dongxu also came back. Xu Dongsheng thought that Jia Dongxu might have escaped from the hospital, and the uncle might be taken care of by the aunt in the hospital.
"Well, you must be tired from running around outside these days, right?"
When Xu Dongsheng smelled the fragrance, he knew that Xu Dongsheng had returned, and he spoke to Xu Dongsheng with a happy face.
"It's just so-so. I've been to a lot of places before and I know a lot of people. That amount of work is not a big problem for me."
While Xu Dongsheng brought the food to the table, he talked to Xu Dazhuang. After Xu Dazhuang washed his hands and sat down, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Dongsheng, you are already nineteen years old in the blink of an eye, and your mother has been gone for nineteen years. Time flies."
While eating and drinking, Xu Dazhuang said to Xu Dongsheng with emotion. Xu Dongsheng smiled and said.
"Yes, it's also been 19 years since you've worked so hard to raise me. Dad, I'm grown up now, you don't have to worry about me anymore. You've worked so hard for most of your life, it's time to relax. Dad, this is the watch I bought for you, take a look, do you like it?"
Xu Dongsheng nodded. He accepted the original owner's memory and knew how much effort Xu Dazhuang had put into raising him and how hard his life had been. As he spoke, Xu Dongsheng handed Xu Dazhuang the watch he had bought from the department store today.
"You've only been working for a few days, and you've already bought something so big. You don't know how to save money. I wonder how you'll get married in the future."
Xu Dazhuang looked at the watch that Xu Dongsheng handed over. Last time, Xu Dongsheng bought him leather shoes, and now he bought him a watch. This watch costs more than one hundred yuan. Xu Dongsheng directly spent three or four months' salary.
Xu Dazhuang was both angry and loving. He originally wanted to scold him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not a big deal. Not to mention the child's kindness, today was Xu Dongsheng's birthday and also the anniversary of Xu's mother's death, so he didn't say anything more.
The two of them clinked glasses, probably because they were in a good mood. They drank a jar of wine, one glass after another, and the two of them finished it all. Xu Dongsheng could drink one glass without getting drunk, but it was indeed a miracle that Old Xu didn't get drunk today.
After eating and drinking, the moon was not bright and the stars were not sparse. Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dazhuang left the courtyard and headed out of the city. Xu Dongsheng supported Xu Dazhuang, and the two came to a not very big hill.
"The tomb of my late wife, Xu Dongshi Shengli."
There is a medium-sized tombstone on the top of the hill, on which is engraved the name of Xu Dongsheng's mother. Looking at the name on the tombstone, Xu Dongsheng knew how his name came about.
After Xu Dongsheng helped the somewhat powerless Xu Dazhuang to stand steadily, he came to the tombstone, took out a knife, and began to remove the weeds and trees around it. Then he placed offerings, lit incense and candles and handed them to Xu Dazhuang. Xu Dazhuang took the incense and candles, squatted in front of Dong Shengli's grave, and inserted them.
"Xiao Li, you've been gone for nineteen years. Dong Sheng has grown up now..."
Xu Dazhuang started to talk while burning paper for Dong Shengli, and Old Xu started to burst into tears. Xu Dongsheng and Old Xu tore and burned paper together, silently accompanying Old Xu. The original owner had never seen Xu's mother and did not have much affection for her. Xu Dongsheng came through time and did not have much affection either, so Xu Dongsheng could only accompany her silently and feel the deep affection between the couple.
