Chapter 512 Twins’ Birthday

Gu Lixia finally poured some chicken soup.

"Studying is not just for exams, it's for life. Today's efforts are the foundation for tomorrow's success. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Seize the moment and write your own future."

"But I feel that I haven't learned well enough. I don't even have confidence in the final exam. Did you borrow any books from the library? Can you recommend some?" Wu Zhonghou spoke again and looked at Gu Lixia.

"Sure. Have you read the prose of various philosophers, the Four Great Classics, the Four Books and the Five Classics? Knowledge is accumulated."

On the 18th, Sunday, we celebrated the brothers’ birthdays.

They didn’t even want to go to the Children’s Palace, so Jiang Wen dragged them out one by one. They came back at noon and it was time for a delicious lunch.

Before starting to eat, Jiang Wen began to speak, "When my grandparents were young, they didn't take birthdays seriously at all. They often worked in the fields. Every day was very tiring, leaving early and returning late, and they didn't even have time to play. At that time, there were only pickles, side dishes that couldn't fill their stomachs."

"When my aunt and I were little, we were a little better off than our grandparents. On our birthdays, we would cook a few dishes and go out to play all day. If our family was well off that year, we could have a bowl of noodles. That was our birthday."

"When celebrating a birthday, choose dishes with auspicious meanings to celebrate. Braised carp symbolizes "abundance year after year" and "a fish leaping over the dragon gate." Pork elbow symbolizes "health and longevity." Boiled chicken symbolizes "good luck and prosperity." Lion's head represents reunion and happiness."

"I know, I can do it too. Braised pork with preserved vegetables means 'prosperity'. Braised prawns in oil means 'prosperity'. Braised sea cucumber with scallions means 'love as deep as the sea'." Huaizhou said as his aunt had said before and looked at the others.

"Yes, steamed spareribs with rice flour, which means 'rising step by step'. Twice-cooked pork, which means 'changing one's mind'. I'll cook noodles later, longevity noodles. I hope everyone lives a long life." Jiang Huainan smiled and joined in his brother's mischief.

"Happy birthday."

"Happy birthday."

"Happy birthday."

Everyone raised their glasses together, and the cups contained canned sweet water.

"It's not just a celebration of happy birthday, but also a wish for good academic performance. Let's eat." Jiang Xiu was also excited.

"Yes, from the beginning of the school year until now, we have learned two semesters' worth of knowledge in one semester, and the exam is scheduled for next week. The time is tight and the tasks are heavy, so it's rare to relax." Gu Lixia also joined the chat group.

"Then why haven't we been notified yet? I also want to go home and eat grapes. We have so many trees planted in our yard, and they are all bearing fruit this year. If I can't eat them, I will be so angry." Jiang Huaixi was anxious to return to Jiangcheng.

"Yes, there are jujube trees, pear trees, apple trees, grape trees, apricot trees, walnut trees, cherry trees, persimmon trees, sea buckthorn trees, crabapple trees, chestnut trees, hawthorn trees, and kiwi trees in our yard. There are so many trees, but we only ate a few strawberries this year." Huaixi felt aggrieved when he said this.

"From early June to mid-July is the season for picking cherries, and the same goes for apricots. Don't worry, the holidays are not far away, and you won't miss them." Gu Lixia comforted him. Not to mention the children, if she couldn't eat whatever she wanted in the space, she would probably be even more greedy.

The children had never eaten it before, so they were greedy, and Gu Lixia was greedy.

"Mom, can we only eat cherries and apricots when we go back? It's the end of August." Huai Xu also looked up at his mother.

"There's no need to rush. The fruit of the Dajie apricot is medium to large, nearly round or oval, with a golden base and a purple-red surface. There are dark red spots on the sunny side, and the surface is covered with a lot of fuzz. The flesh is orange-yellow and relatively firm. It has a sweet and sour flavor, is fragrant, and is juicy. It matures in mid-to-late July, and the fruit development period takes about 80 days. By then, we can process it into preserved fruits, dried fruits, and jams."

"Cherries are red in color, small in size, and sweet in taste..." Gu Lixia began to introduce these fruits one by one.
