Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

Regarding how to celebrate Jiang Defu's 80th birthday, Yafei specially invited Lin Wangshu to hold a meeting with An Jie and Jiang Defu to discuss it.

Seeing how much his children valued him, Jiang Defu happily said that he certainly wanted to hold a grand celebration, and everyone would be there to wish him a happy birthday.

"In that case, following the wedding group last time, let's form another group to prepare for birthdays this time."

As she spoke, Yafei turned to Jiang Defu and asked for his opinion, "Old comrade, this is your birthday. I won't compete with you. You can be the group leader, okay?"

Jiang Defu waved his hands repeatedly, "That won't do. It's my birthday, and I'm the team leader. It wouldn't look good for me, would it?"

“That’s true.” Yafei nodded, then said with a mischievous grin, “This is the first time you’ve had such a grand birthday celebration. It’s a great opportunity for you to plunder the people’s wealth.”

“As a retired senior cadre, you are really not suited to do such a shameful thing.”

“In that case,” Yafei said, her eyes darting around as she looked at Lin Wangshu. “Big sister, then you’re not suitable to be the group leader.”

Lin Wangshu stopped knitting An Jie's sweater and asked leisurely, "Oh? And why do I need to?"

"Think about it," Yafei said with a look of "I'm doing this for your own good," "You're a household name, a superstar, how can you do this kind of dirty work?"

"What would people think if they found out!"

She was always very eloquent, and Jiang Defu, An Jie, and Lin Wangshu couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Wangshu nodded, suppressing a laugh, "Okay, then you can be it, I won't compete with you."

"Great!" Yafei slapped her thigh, beaming with pride. "It's settled then. I'll take the lead and make sure my dad has a grand and spectacular birthday celebration!"

A few days later.

Seeing Lin Wangshu sitting leisurely in front of the dressing table, applying a face mask, Jiang Weidong put down the newspaper in his hand, leaned back on the bed, and asked curiously, "Hey, Little Moon, why aren't you in a hurry?"

Lin Wangshu hummed a song, looking at him through the mirror, "Why should I be in a hurry?"

Jiang Weidong got off the bed and sat down next to her. "It's Dad's birthday present. Jiang Yafei called three times a day, asking us to send an expensive yet meaningful gift."

"She specifically called you out by name, telling you to prepare well and not to embarrass her team leader."

“This Yafei is making a mountain out of a molehill.” Lin Wangshu shook her head with amusement, then gave him a smug look. “My gift was prepared a long time ago.”

"You'd better get ready. I'm not going with you. Don't let Yafei laugh at you later."

“Mine is ready too, a new military uniform, a complete set, Dad will definitely like it.” Jiang Weidong generously told her about the gift he had prepared.

Then, with curiosity, she asked, "What have you prepared? Let me see it first?"

Lin Wangshu, with a face mask on, gave him a forced smile and said, "Then come closer, and I'll tell you in a low voice."

"It's just the two of us here, why are you being so mysterious?" Although he said that, Jiang Weidong's body language betrayed him, and he leaned closer to listen.

Lin Wangshu gave a barely perceptible mischievous smile, and under his expectant gaze, slowly said, "I won't tell you, it's a secret!"

Then he laughed and sat up straight, his tune becoming even more cheerful.

Jiang Weidong was furious at her smug look. He walked heavily to the door and slammed the light off the room. "Go to sleep!"

In the darkness, Lin Wangshu protested, "Wait a minute, I'm not done yet."

After a series of footsteps, Lin Wangshu struggled frantically, "Put me down, I haven't applied any lotion yet."

Jiang Weidong snorted, "No need to apply any more, you smell good enough."

Unfortunately, despite a night of "torture," Lin Wangshu remained "unyielding to the death" and did not reveal any information about the gift.

While everyone was busy preparing for Jiang Defu's birthday, Jiang Defu was at home with nothing to do when a new idea popped into his head.

So he made a phone call and summoned the entire birthday planning team to his home.

"Dad, did you need something?" Yafei asked, panting as she ran over.

Jiang Defu sat upright on the sofa, coughed lightly, and announced, "Because I've never properly celebrated my birthday before."

"So I can't even remember the exact date of my birthday."

"Therefore, I have decided to change my birthday to August 1st, Army Day, because I want to celebrate my birthday with our army."

"Dad, you truly deserve to be called a veteran cadre; your awareness is so high. I want to pay you my highest respect!"

After saying that, she hurriedly stood up to leave, as she had other things to do.

Before leaving, Yafei reminded Lin Wangshu, "Comrade Lin Wangshu, you're the richest in our family, so don't disappoint us with the gift you bring."

Jiang Defu waved his hand with a smile, "It doesn't need to be so expensive, as long as it's the thought that counts."

Lin Wangshu snorted at Yafei, "Your awareness is clearly not as high as our father's. You're too vulgar. You should learn more from others."

"And you don't need to worry about my gift. Mine will definitely be the most precious and meaningful."

"But you, your Zheng Jianhua is richer than me, so the gifts you give can't be worse than mine, right?"

“Hey, you can’t say that.” Yafei said with a righteous expression. “He is him, and I am me. Just because he has money doesn’t mean I have money.”

"And don't worry, my gift may not be the most expensive, but it will definitely be the most meaningful. Just wait and see."

She glanced at her watch and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm busy."

It's just that Jiang Defu's birthday came earlier, so An Jie has to speed up her knitting, otherwise she might not make it in time.

Before leaving, Lin Wangshu specifically reminded An Jie, "You mustn't stay up late knitting sweaters; it's bad for your health."

Jiang Defu agreed, "Yes, Wang Shu is right. You've already knitted a sweater, so that's enough for me. I don't need long trousers."

In front of the two of them, An Jie nodded repeatedly, assuring them that she would not stay up late.

Lin Wangshu was still worried, so she said to Jiang Defu, "Dad, I'm leaving the task of supervising Mom to you."

"Don't worry, leave it to me," Jiang Defu said earnestly.

Lin Wangshu's worries were justified; An Jie was indeed outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, and was caught by Jiang Defu several times.
