The birthday gift Zhang Dongsheng prepared was an exquisite matryoshka doll.

This thing is a traditional folk toy in the north. The largest one is over half a meter long, almost as big as Xiao Yufen.

The smallest one is only about the size of a thumb, and it is covered with many layers inside and out.

Generally speaking, it is the image of a fat doll holding a carp. The matryoshka dolls of this era were still very traditional symbols of blessing, and did not appear in the shape of the Ultraman tumbler like in later generations.

Zhang Dongsheng only found out two days ago that Xiao Yufen's birthday gift was not specially prepared, but it was a exquisite souvenir bought when he and Zhou Ying were visiting Anton a few days ago.

Xiao Yufen had some difficulty holding the big baby, which was almost as tall as herself. The smile on her face was extremely happy.

The doll was made of wood and was really heavy. Two little brothers came over to help her carry the doll into the house.

Xiao Yufen also limped behind. Although her movements were slow, she always had a happy smile on her face.

Seeing the group of people walking away, Zhou Ying scolded Zhang Dongsheng.

"I said the surname is Zhang. Didn't you say you bought that matryoshka doll as a gift for me? Why did it become Xiao Yufen's birthday gift again?"

Hearing Zhou Ying's question, Zhang Dongsheng touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Tell me how old you are, and you still behave like a child. Didn't I buy a pair of these dolls? This one is for Xiao Yufen, and there is another one left for you."

"Tch! Both of them are mine.

I told you that I have a birthday coming up in a few days, and I want you to give me a gift then, and it must be chosen by you personally, so you can’t be fooled like this time."

"Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you."

At this time, what could Zhang Dongsheng say besides nodding in agreement? Although he was a little panicked because he had forgotten when Zhou Ying's birthday was.

Seeing Zhang Dongsheng responded, Zhou Ying nodded and pulled him into the backyard.

Many of the people who came this time were acquaintances of Zhang Dongsheng, including Wang Xi, Wang Ping, Jiang Bing and others.

Among them, the one who surprised Zhang Dongsheng the most was a blond and blue-eyed foreigner named John.

What surprised Zhang Dongsheng even more was that although the John in front of him had a foreign face, he spoke authentic Chinese with a bit of Jiangcheng's local accent.

Regarding John, Zhang Dongsheng naturally remembered that the two of them had a contract and bought a guitar made by a well-known company from John.

It's just that Zhang Dongsheng is just playing guitar. He simply played two pieces of music at first, but now he is very busy, so things have been delayed.

The guitar is still gathering dust in Zhou Ying's apartment.

I originally thought that no matter what, John was considered a talent in foreign languages, and I wanted to stay in the company to train him and work as a translator.

Unexpectedly, this kid ran away not long after. Zhang Dongsheng was busy with many things every day and had no time to pay attention to him.

I was originally thinking that he would go back to the western part of the United States to find his cowboy father, but I never expected that this man actually became a teacher at Red Star Elementary School, not only teaching English to children, but also teaching them

Chinese.

This really surprised Zhang Dongsheng. It doesn’t matter whether he has passed or failed in Chinese. Wouldn’t he be misleading his students?

It may be the only one in China to allow foreigners to be Chinese teachers.

Not to mention John's Chinese teaching level, at least he is very qualified as a teacher and is very attentive to his students.

I don't have any airs at all, and I have a very good relationship with every classmate. I fully demonstrate the free and romantic temperament of the American people.

Seeing Zhang Dongsheng come in, everyone present stood up. The people here are basically his subordinates. Although everyone was friends before, it is not easy to return to a pure friendship now.

Maybe there are gains and losses, but John, who was not very worldly, came up to Zhang Dongsheng with a smile and gave Zhang Dongsheng a hug.

Zhang Dongsheng could feel that there was not much other flavor in this hug, it was just a simple welcome.

"Oh, Dongsheng, it's been a long time since I last saw you, you know? I've had a really great time these days."

John's voice is very distinctive and has its own unique taste. At the same time, his articulation is clear and there are no communication barriers.

With a sincere smile on his face, Zhang Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a little relaxed and sat next to him.

"John, I thought you had returned to the United States. I didn't expect you to actually stay here. Tell me quickly. I want to hear how great your life has been."

"How could it be? What's so good about places in the United States? Three meals a day are either mashed potatoes, tortillas, burgers, or steaks. The taste is really lacking.

Let me tell you, now that I think about my life in the past twenty years, I don’t know how I persisted.

When I think about leaving this beautiful land, I will never be able to eat the spicy hot dry noodles, the steaming hot pot, and the fragrant Maoxuewang.

Oh, God, I just can't stand this."

Listening to John's exaggerated tone, Zhang Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became very harmonious.

From the lines in John's words, Zhang Dongsheng can feel his love for China.

This is what Zhang Dongsheng has been committed to doing and what he has been working hard to change.

For a long time in the last life, Chinese people preferred to go abroad. Whether they were students, actors or businessmen, they were all proud of being able to study abroad and apply for foreign household registration.

It's as if the moon abroad is rounder than the one at home, and even the air is sweet.

Since he has such an opportunity in this life, Zhang Dongsheng wants to improve the image and power of China as a whole, so that more foreigners like John can see the beautiful side of China.

In the midst of the laughter and conversation, even Zhang Dongsheng temporarily put down his work and really devoted himself to it. Time flew by.

After a while, someone came over and shouted that it was time for dinner.

Then everyone went to the canteen amidst bursts of laughter.

Under the preparation of the pastry chef specially invited by Zhang Dongsheng, a huge cake has been placed in the middle of the cafeteria, with several candles on it and it is burning slowly.
