Chapter 19 Birthday Cake
Bao Yuqian kept her word and actually bought the department store facade and gave it to Jiang Hua.
Relying on an idea, Jiang Hua changed the storefront of a store in the core business district. He is a typical example of a white wolf with empty hands.
The renovation of Jiangzhou Department Store will not be completed until about next month, and there is no need to rush to prepare for the opening of the specialty store.
Jiang Hua remembered that he had been busy with things in the clothing factory during this period and had not been home for a long time.
Today is his daughter's birthday. He never gave his daughter a birthday in his previous life. Now he plans to make up for this regret.
Birthday cakes, in the 1980s, were still relatively high-end and rare items.
There are not many Western pastry shops in Jiangzhou that can make birthday cakes.
Jiang Hua walked into this Western-style pastry shop called Qiao Le Duo and looked at the exquisite birthday cakes through the transparent glass window.
"Hello, sir, would you like to order a birthday cake?"
The waitress came over with a smile and asked, "Hmm."
Jiang Hua seemed a little taciturn.
After his rebirth, on his daughter's first birthday, of course he wanted to give her a big birthday cake, but the problem was, he didn't have a penny in his pocket, so how could he order a cake?
He felt a little guilty in his heart. After reviving his life, he was still too self-centered. He didn't take into account the feelings of his family, so he invested all his money in the operation of the factory. As a result, he couldn't even spend a penny for his daughter's birthday.
The money on the books of the garment factory, which needs to be purchased for raw materials and maintenance of equipment, has been spent. Now he is really at the end of his rope.
"Sir, the birthday cakes we have here include cream fruit and cream chocolate. Which one do you want to order and what size do you need?"
The waitress is very enthusiastic.
Birthday cakes are still relatively luxurious items for ordinary people in this era, and the business of pastry houses is not very good.
"I……"
Jiang Hua opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Never mind that when he faced Kong Zhuo, he used a bright tongue, deceived people, and defrauded people of birthday cakes in pastry shops. He really couldn't do such an immoral thing.
But, he really wanted to give his daughter a big birthday cake on her first birthday.
A dashing figure walked into the pastry house.
"Waiter, is the birthday cake I ordered yesterday ready?"
Ye Ran stood in front of the counter and didn't notice Jiang Hua, who was standing with his back to her.
It was her nephew's birthday today, and as her aunt, she promised to give him a birthday cake.
"You are Miss Ye, right? The children's birthday cake you ordered has been prepared. I'll pick it up right now."
The waitress is warm and thoughtful.
Jiang Hua's eyes lit up when he saw Ye Ran.
It was his daughter's birthday, but he had no money to buy a cake. Ye Ran happened to order one. What is fate? This is it.
The waiter brought a large birthday cake and placed it on the counter. It was beautifully packaged.
Jiang Hua fell in love at first sight.
My daughter will definitely like the Mickey Mouse cartoon pattern on the packaging box.
"Ye Ran, are we friends?"
He walked over very familiarly and greeted me like an old friend.
"ah?"
Ye Ran was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect to meet Jiang Hua here. As for what Jiang Hua said, were the two friends?
Of course not, she and this annoying guy are not friends.
But before she could recover, Jiang Hua spoke again.
"The last mission was so dangerous. Was it because I rushed to the front and blocked the bullet for you?"
Jiang Hua spoke very fast, giving Ye Ran no time to think.
"ah?"
Ye Ran was stunned again.
Jiang Hua was indeed at the forefront when he arrested the group of tomb robbers last time.
But that was his personal reckless behavior. How could it be said in his mouth that he was taking a bullet for her?
Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, she was interrupted again by Jiang Hua's words.
"So you know it's my daughter's birthday. Thank you for the birthday cake. She will definitely like it."
Jiang Hua took the cake and left, as if the birthday cake was really ordered by Ye Ran for his daughter.
The waitress was smiling. The scene in front of her was so smooth and natural that she didn't notice anything was wrong.
Ye Ran was dumbfounded. By the time she came to her senses, Jiang Hua had already run away on a motorcycle.
She was so angry and funny. What kind of thing is this? Someone even grabbed the birthday cake?
However, it fits that guy's shameless style.
Thinking of the little girl who got out of the sack last time, she softened her heart.
"Forget it, the little girl is quite pitiful. The worst I can do is order a birthday cake for my nephew again."
She thought so in her heart.
Although she didn't intend to pursue the case, she silently made a note to Jiang Hua in her heart. This guy had offended her for the second time. Sooner or later, he would settle the old and new accounts with him, hum!
Jiang Hua snatched Ye Ran's cake and felt no guilt at all.
He was always a narrow-minded man. In his previous life, Ye Ran sent him to prison college for free, but he was not grateful at all and held a grudge in his heart.
When Jiang Hua returned home, he saw his daughter squatting and playing in the courtyard. Her innocent look made his heart melt.
"Dad, you're back. What did you bring for me?"
The daughter waved her dirty little hands and ran over.
"Nanny, happy birthday!"
Jiang Hua was holding the cake in one hand and holding his daughter in the other, and his heart was filled with happiness.
"Ahua, the birthday cake is so expensive. We ordinary people don't pay attention to this."
Su Zhirou walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands with her apron, her tone somewhat complaining.
But while she complained, she felt sweet in her heart. Her husband could remember her daughter's birthday and buy her a birthday cake. This was something that had never happened before.
"It's just a cake. I will buy it for my daughter every birthday from now on, and you will do the same."
Jiang Hua smiled carelessly.
Although he is penniless now, it is only temporary. When the factory gets back on track, he will let his family live a better life.
"Brother-in-law, you are back."
Su Danyue walked out of the room holding her blind stick and greeted her somewhat flatteringly.
"Xiaoyue, come here quickly. Today is my daughter's birthday. Let's celebrate it as a family."
Jiang Hua waved enthusiastically.
Looking at his sister-in-law's slender figure, he actually felt a little sad.
From a psychological point of view, Su Danyue is a pleaser type of personality. The inferiority complex caused by her blindness makes her always want to prove her worth by pleasing others.
But Jiang Hua doesn't need her to please. He hopes that Su Danyue can grow up healthily and be a happy girl in this life.
It's almost time. If you persist for a while, you will be able to earn enough money. Then you can take Xiaoyue to the provincial capital and cure her eyes.
Chapter completed!
