April 25 this year, March 16 of the lunar calendar, is my husband's 66th birthday.

For these 66th birthdays, people also have a custom of celebrating: using six taels of noodles and six taels of meat to wrap 66 dumplings for the birthday star to eat.

The general is the daughter to give the bag.

Not to mention a daughter, even a son, we don't have it.

Here in Jiamusi, there is a nephew and a nephew. In Fuyuan, there is a nephew. In Harbin, there are two nieces. There is a niece and a nephew in BJ.

It's too far away, and there's no girl in the local.

Junior, there is no one to complete this mission.

So, I had to wrap it.

As early as a week ago, my brother-in-law and sister in BJ called to talk about my husband's 66th birthday.

My sister repeatedly told me that I must make sixty-six dumplings for my husband.

My younger siblings who work at BJ also called me and told me about making dumplings, and she also told me how to make dumplings.

April 25 is the right day. In the evening, I made sixty-six one-inch dumplings for my husband, one to heaven and one to the ground, and he ate thirty-two, which was exactly half.

On the day of the first day, my brother-in-law, sister, younger siblings, and Fuyuan's nephew all called to greet and congratulate my husband, but other relatives from other places didn't know about it and didn't tell them.

My husband answered the phone and was very happy, this is spiritual comfort, this is family affection, more important than anything else, more precious than anything else!

Fuyuan's nephew couldn't come back, and his mother-in-law, Teacher Yuan, happened to take her little daughter to Jiamusi for the exam.

Teacher Yuan replaced her nephew and came to visit her home to celebrate her birthday, she bought 20 catties of liquor, four pig's trotters, and two cooked chickens, which was a piece of Fuyuan's nephew's heart, which was very precious.

My husband and I invited Mr. Yuan to the restaurant for a drink.

This former teacher was a little drunk, and her husband drank a glass of liquor and a bottle of beer with her, and she talked and laughed.

We chose a suitable time to set up a birthday banquet at Xiangxiang Cake Shop.

That's five o'clock tonight.

Jiamusi's relatives are all here, a total of eleven people: my husband and I, my brother, brother-in-law, my nephew's family of three, my nephew's family of three, five old ones, four young people, and two little girls.

I ordered ten dishes: elbow meat, cold vegetables, eggplant, cucumber, pot wrapped meat, beef hoof tendons, jelly seeds, silkworm pupa, fish roe, and fish.

Of course, the orthodox name of the dish is not like this, I did not remember.

It is very hearty, colorful, crispy and delicious.

When the banquet started, everyone toasted to her husband and wished him a happy birthday, a long life, happiness and health!

My husband was very happy, and he said with emotion: "My birthday has never been so grand, and this sixty-sixth birthday is unprecedented!"

In his original family, it was no more than a birthday. When he came to our house, he celebrated his birthday.

After everyone congratulated, they ate, drank, and chatted, and the atmosphere was warm and happy!

When his son was alive, his son personally went to the kitchen to cook a few good dishes for his parents' birthday. If the son is not around, and the parents have a birthday, the son will send money to the parents.

Our son passed away, but his parents' birthdays were given by relatives, and in 2011, the son's mother's birthdays were given by his cousin. In 2011 and 2012, the son's father's birthday was given by his little uncle.

This year, the son's father's 66th birthday, there are relatives to congratulate, nephews and nephews to give money, we don't accept anything, as long as everyone comes to get together, this is enough.

I think that the son who is far away in the mountains of SC must be very happy if his soul is knowledgeable.

He is gone, his parents are not alone, there is someone to take his place, to comfort his elderly parents, and he can be in heaven in peace.
