Chapter 45: Grandma's Birthday Banquet

The old people don't really care how well they dress or how well they eat, as long as the younger generations are filial and promising, even if it is coarse tea and light rice.

After the uncle and uncle fried the vegetables, the grandfather and the maternal uncle beckoned the uncle to eat, and the three little guys who were playing under the eaves threw down the red crucian carp and ran away, and shouted: "Happy birthday grandma, eat cake!" ”

Rural people have never had a foreign-style birthday, and the aunt who is serving the dishes is inexplicable, and she doesn't know what kind of cake the three little guys want to eat, whether it was sent by Jiaming in the past or today. My uncle was literate, but my aunt didn't know a few big characters, so how did she know that the box that her nephew brought over just now was a birthday cake. When the cousin who had seen the world carried the box of birthday cakes from the grandmother's room, the aunt suddenly realized that the box of cakes sent by her nephew was the same as before, and they were all used as snacks for the old people, so she put them in the grandmother's cabinet.

Oh, I think about it, I have a birthday on TV, and I seem to eat this kind of cake!

"Mingya, this is the birthday cake? Same as on TV? ”

The full sister, who wanted to eat cake and wanted to salivate, nodded hurriedly and affirmed: "Well, aunt, this cake is delicious!" ”

Isn't it just for everyone to eat? Well, this niece dog has a conscience, and his uncle happily slapped Li Jiaming on the back of the head, "Mingya, you come to do it, we don't understand!" ”

"Hey", Li Jiaming helped the grandmother with inconvenient legs and feet to sit on the right side in the middle of the big round table, and began to move the dishes next to him.

For example, today is Grandma's birthday, but she can't sit in the chief, so she has to let the eldest uncle and second uncle sit, they represent Grandma's mother's family; Then there is Grandpa, her, the fourth aunt and grandmother, and so on.

Well, this niece dog has a conscience. The two uncles watched their nephews and grandchildren busy with their work, sat down with smiles, and joked to their sister (sister): "Second sister (sister), you are really lucky, you gave birth to a nephew and grandson with a conscience!" ”

The white-haired grandmother smiled on her face, as if there were many fewer wrinkles, and praised: "We all have a conscience, we all have a conscience, we Wenwen, Manmei, and Jin Mei will help me beat my feet if it's okay." The last time I went to the same antique, I was given a down leggings, which was warm. ”

"Grandma", the little sisters who were praised smiled, hugging Grandma's neck and coquettishly.

'Hey', Li Jiaming also laughed happily, opened the cake box, and the lifelike peach cake made the elders full of praise. Yes, this guy has a conscience!

Light the candle C Okay, the delicate little sister, the full sister, and the golden sister sang the 'birthday song' in a childlike voice, hugged the grandmother's neck and urged her to make a wish, and didn't let her say it, saying that it wouldn't work, which made everyone laugh. The happy grandmother also followed the children's wishes, silently made a wish to Guanyin Bodhisattva that the children could study and be admitted to university, and began to blow out candles.

The birthday cake sent by Li Jiaming is very beautiful, and the birthday peach made of cream is as beautiful as the real thing, although Grandma is illiterate, she doesn't know the happy birthday written on it, and she doesn't know what the 'happy/birthday' sung by a few little guys means, but Grandma smiled happily and kindly.

With the birthday cake, the three little ones huddled around Grandma, took Grandma's cake and their cake, and used their own small plastic forks to keep feeding Grandma who was not used to using forks.

"Grandma, this cake is delicious!"

"Well, Grandma, this kind of cake is the best, much better than that kind of red bean cake."

"Grandma, you take another bite, it's really delicious and delicious, and the fifth brother is usually reluctant to eat it!"

The three little guys fed the cake to the grandmother one after another, but they were really envious of the fourth aunt, and none of the granddaughters and nieces and granddaughters in the family were so conscientious.

When everyone finished eating a piece of this sweet and greasy cream cake, the greedy Manmei didn't beg for another piece like she did at home. Although he is only a little over seven years old, he is also in the second grade, and he is not at home when he is a guest outside, so he still understands some of the etiquette that he should understand. But what kind of virtue these three little guys are, the grandmother who can see them every week understands it too well, and instructs: "Mingya, give each of them another piece, and take the rest back for them to eat." ”

"Thank you, Grandma!"

As soon as Grandma's words fell, the little sister and the full sister next to her immediately kissed her, with two white and red cream stains on her face, and the golden sister on the edge also came over and kissed her, which made everyone laugh again.

"Delicious!"

Li Jiaming scolded with a smile, cut a small piece for the three little guys, and put the cake away on the small square table next to him. This thing may be delicious, but you can't eat too much, children still have to eat more and eat more vegetables in order to grow taller and be in good health!

Waiting for the cousin to bring a hot towel to help Grandma wipe the cream stains off her face, Li Jiaming picked up the little sister and the full sister who had finished eating the cake next to Grandma, and put them on the bench stacked on two benches next to her to sit with Jin Mei. The three of them were still too short for a bench to reach a large round table.

"Come, eat, eat, uncle, uncle, uncle, come, come, have a glass of wine"

In the countryside, it is polite to persuade guests to drink, and the more guests can drink, the better, and it is better to let the guests get drunk. But Grandma knew the amount of alcohol her brother, so she drank two glasses just now, afraid that they would drink too much, so she smiled and said: "Chengwan, Mr. Mo always advises Uncle Mo's wine to follow their own wishes." ”

"Okay, eldest mother, third mother, sixth mother, Shiquan, I will fill this cup, wait as you like."

"Yes, this is a nephew with a conscience!"

There is no play, Li Jiaming, who was thinking of pouring Sun Shiquan two more cups, sighed regretfully, and stood behind the three little guys with his cousin to eat, lest they fall down if they didn't sit down.

After a while, Sun Shiquan, who was relieved of his drinking, saw Li Jiaming standing, and hurriedly got up and said, "Jiaming, you sit, you sit, I'll help Honghong." ”

This is not good, Li Jiaming hurriedly joked: "Momo, cousin Shiquan, you are a guest, and I am a nephew dog." My mother's uncle didn't let me eat under the table, which was enough to save face. ”

The cousin next to him smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming, and Sun Shiquan's face turned red. The uncle, who was pouring wine for his uncle, also smiled and explained: "Uncle Eldest Mother, Uncle Third Mother, and Auntie, you don't know that Ming Han used to have a lot of skin. Once, when Ye Ye (Dad) passed away, he was about to sit on the (chief), and Chuan Lin was angry, and threw him under the table, saying that his niece and dog should eat under the table. ”

Is there such a thing? There is really such a thing, Li Jiaming used to be this virtue, and later his grandfather scolded his father, picked up his beloved nephew and grandson, and put him on his lap to sit.

"Fifth brother, you were so ignorant before?"

Li Jiaming knocked on the melon seeds on the head of the full sister and said with a smile: "Hehe, eat your food." Uncle, I was only four years old at the time, and you still came to make fun of me? ”

"Yes, yes, don't laugh, don't laugh, what else did you say that time? said that he wanted to marry Honghong as his wife! ”

Everyone was happy, and the shy and introverted cousin blushed, and seeing that the cousin next to him didn't care, he pinched his thigh angrily.

Enduring the pain in his thigh, Li Jiaming continued to laugh, since he couldn't pour Sun Shiquan's wine anymore, he simply extinguished his illusions and saved his cousin from suffering in the future. If the eldest sister is a sister and a mother to herself, the cousin really does her duty as a cousin to her brother and sister, but she is a little introverted and not good at expressing her feelings. I grew up in my grandmother's house, especially after the death of my mother, I treated my well-behaved and introverted little sister as a treasure, and left her with some delicious and fun things.
