A growing mix of the aroma of fried fish, stewed meat, mushrooms, and the scent of wheat gradually wafted from the kitchen, floating in the courtyard.
Before the team whistle sounded for the end of work, Zhang the Second's voice came from outside the courtyard: "Mom, we're back."
As his voice fell, the two sisters Zhang Meili were the first to enter the courtyard and saw Mother Zhang coming out to greet them, so they hurriedly approached. The eldest, Zhang Meili, said with a smile: "Mom, may you live a long life."
"Mom, I wish you and Dad happier days ahead, always smiling, healthy, and everything goes well..."
Before her youngest daughter finished speaking, Mother Zhang beamed with joy, nodding repeatedly.
Following them were Zhang Guofu and his brother, Zhang Chunming and Chen Xiaobin, the two brothers-in-law, each of them came in smiling and carrying gifts, seeing Mother Zhang, they joyfully wished her a happy birthday.
