"Wow, that's pretty!"

Waiting for Mao Yan to open the cake box, the little sister and the full sister all exclaimed, the cream made of roses, the leaves came to life under the fluorescent lamp, and the words 'Happy Birthday' on the cake.

"Brother Mao Yan, Brother Mao Yan, Mo Che, let's take a look at the next child. ”

"No, no, what about Aunt Shimei?"

Li Jiaming gently hugged the shoulders of the second aunt of Aunt Yi and his mother, pushed her to the top of the round table and sat down, took out the candle from the plastic bag sandwiched on the cake box, and pretended to be a tiger and said, "Sister Man, whose birthday is it today?"

"Happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday Second Aunt!"

"Happy birthday Aunt Shimei!"

A group of half-grown children and little girls wished the second aunt a happy birthday, and Li Jiaming, who had already started lighting candles, was still not satisfied, and continued: "One, two, three"

"Happy birthday to Mom (Auntie)!"

Now that it was neatly aligned, Li Jiaming nodded with satisfaction, and began to meticulously c candles, filling a beautiful cake with thirty-eight candles. With some eyes, Mao Tong turned off the kitchen light, and the little faces under the candlelight were full of happiness, and the faces of the aunts were happy and relieved; Liu Shasha also led everyone to sing the English version of Happy Birthday, and the childlike English song made the second aunt turn her head to wipe her tears.

"Mom (aunt), what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Hongying was very happy that the children were sensible, and hurriedly explained: "It's okay, Aunt Shimei is happy." Shimei, make a wish and blow out the candle!"

TV is a good thing, even Aunt Hongying knows how to spend a Western-style birthday.

"Hmm", wiped away the tears of emotion, and the bold second aunt silently made a wish to the Bodhisattva for all the children to be promising, blowing out candles, cutting cakes, and happily handing the cut cakes to everyone on a paper plate.

"Eat the cake! Mom, eat it, this cake is delicious!"

"Hmm"

The family happily ate the cake, and even Li Jiaming, who doesn't like sweets very much, took the cake from the second aunt and ate it happily. This is the first birthday I have given to my second aunt, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will give it to her every year.

Oh, by the way, Grandma's birthday is also approaching. In the past, I didn't have money, but now I have money, and I have to let the old people celebrate their Western-style birthdays. In fact, it doesn't matter what you eat, the important thing is to make the elders happy and feel happy! Also, you have to ask the goblin, no, it was Liu Shasha who borrowed a camera and took some photos of her grandparents.

The aunts were reluctant to eat the birthday cake for dozens of yuan, so they only ate a small piece, and wanted to leave the rest for the children. Li Jiaming also did not dissuade him, the elders have the way the elders pamper their children, and after a few years, when the children grow up, they remember how their parents keep good things for themselves to eat, which is a warm and happy memory for the children who have grown up and the elderly parents.

"Brother, I still want to eat a piece. ”

"Fifth brother, I still want to eat too!"

Li Jiaming smiled and closed the cake box and refused the pleading of the two youngest sisters, "No, I'll eat tomorrow, I have to eat now." ”

"Oh," the two greedy little ones agreed, but the four eyes still looked at the box without blinking.

"Jiaming, let them eat, it's rare for everyone to be happy. ”

"Hmm".

The second aunt, who was happy, spoke, and Li Jiaming opened the box again and cut a small piece for the four younger sisters and Liu Shasha. As for the hairy and thin dogs, they have no share, they are the sons, the elder brothers, the elder brother should let the younger sister, they eat the delicious first, and they play the fun first, this is the rule that Li Jiaming set for them!

When everyone finished eating, Gui Mei made tea for everyone, and by the way, when she got an autograph worth five cents, Liu Shasha suddenly remembered the gift, and hurriedly pushed Li Jiaming, and reminded in a low voice: "Jiaming, where are the Buddha beads you asked for?"

"Wait a minute"

When the slowest sister finished eating, washed her hands again, and returned home without a chance to give a gift, Li Jiaming took out the antique box from the short coat, and led the sister and the little sister to the second aunt. The three of them bowed, and handed them to the second aunt respectfully with both hands, "Second aunt, this is a little bit of our heart, I wish you a long life than Nanshan and happiness like the East China Sea." ”

"Huh?"

In the poor rural areas, there are no more than the cities, adults do not make birthday wine until they are not 60 years old, and they do not pay attention to the number of birthdays, at most they eat a bowl of longevity noodles on their birthdays, and some families with difficult circumstances do not even have birthdays. The second aunt, who was drinking tea, never confiscated her birthday gift, and was at a loss for a while.

Li Jiaming opened the wooden box, and inside was a string of quaint dragon's blood wood Buddhist beads, which were crystal clear under the bright fluorescent lamp. This is what he asked Dong Hao to ask for from Nanhua Temple in Guangdong Province, and the second aunt believed in Guanyin Bodhisattva, and often attributed Li Jiaming and Manmei's sensibility to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Li Jiaming didn't believe in Buddhism, but he respectfully took out the crystal clear Buddha beads, handed them to Manmei and motioned for her to help the second aunt put them on, and explained: "Second aunt, this is what my brother Tuo Hao asked from the temple. You are so devout to Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva will definitely bless you with happiness and longevity. ”

"Jiaming"

The second aunt looked at the Buddha beads on her wrist, and tears of emotion came out of her eyes, so panicked that Manmei hurriedly stretched out her little hand to wipe it, and said anxiously: "Mom don't cry, Mom don't cry." ”

The tears of happiness wiped more and more, and the anxious Manmei also started crying, turned around and kicked her brother with her feet and hit him with her hands.

"You're a bad person, you're a bad person, you make my mom cry! I'll kick you to death! I'll beat you to death!"

The second aunt with tears on her face hurriedly hugged her daughter who punched and kicked her nephew, wiped away her tears a few times, showed a happy smile, and comforted: "Full sister and full sister, Mom is happy, Mom is happy." The fifth brother is so filial to his mother, it's too late for him to be happy!"

"Really, Mom, don't lie to me. ”

"Really", the happy second aunt kissed her sister heavily on her tearful face, and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, Mom is crying with joy, Mom has never been so happy today!"

The second aunt is happy, the full sister is happy, Li Jiaming and the little sister, the aunt and the brothers and sisters in the house are also happy. Everyone happily drank tea, baked the fire, smiled and looked at the full sister who had just punched and kicked his brother, kissed him heavily on the face to apologize, and pulled the little sister to stand on the chair to wash the dishes and chopsticks, earning them a dime a day. Mao Yan and the thin dog stood beside him, waiting for the two Gu Nainai to change the hot water and pour the dirty water.

Last month, they washed dishes and swept the floor, and each of them earned six yuan, plus Jin Mei and Gui Mei's, they bought a new leather ball, and they were about to save money to buy a pair of table tennis rackets. Uncle Chuan agreed, and when the Chinese New Year came, he would help them make a table, and they could play table tennis at home in the future.

After the full sister and the little sister finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, and the golden sister and Gui sister finished sweeping the floor, Li Jiaming also got up and took them home to do their homework, while the aunts continued to sit in the kitchen, roasting around the warm fire.

It hasn't been a few years since the little cousin shed tears, Aunt Hongying slapped the second aunt who was still laughing, and quipped: "Shimei, don't worry about it now?"

The flames in the fire pit were blazing, and the second aunt's face was extremely red, and she was very satisfied with her nephew's filial piety.

"Don't worry, Jia Ming has more conscience than his own cub!"

"That is, my sister-in-law told you a long time ago, Jiaming, this guy has a conscience, are you still afraid that there will be no one to support the elderly and wear filial piety in the future?"

"Hehe, I'm going to Kuzhutan tomorrow to worship, and it's all Guanyin Bodhisattva's blessing. ”

Li Jiaming, who returned home, was also smiling, which could make the second aunt happy and his happiness. In the previous life, in order to help his father send him to study at a self-funded university, the second uncle and the second aunt didn't even do the house they valued the most, and they finally made the second aunt of the aunt and the mother happy, and also did their filial piety for the eldest sister of the sister and the mother.

Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs!
