Chapter 3 Birthday Presents

said it was a birthday, but in fact, my mother was busy and couldn't take care of anything, so if she wanted to give Domeier some good celebrations, she had to wait for the sun to set and send the last wave of people back from work.

Domeier had an atmosphere in the morning, so she wanted to go out for a walk, and when she staggered with Mo Meier's porridge boat, she jumped up and played with her sister for a while.

When Domeier talked about the morning, Aunt Song and her sister accompanied her and scolded the gang of people who set up the stage for a long time, especially the black-faced half-grown boy.

Later, when it was her birthday, Aunt Song took out a few red eggs from the cabin, ate one for each of the two dolls, and stuffed two into Dong Mei'er's pocket.

Then Aunt Song talked about the time when the fifth sister-in-law gave birth to Dongmei, saying that it was a woman from the Tan family who gave birth to a child, and it was all a matter of fart and hard work, but the fifth sister-in-law suffered a big crime at that time, and after holding it for a day and a night, the child just refused to come out, and the midwife said that it was a fetus, with her buttocks down, and she did not run for birth.

In the end, there was an old doctor on the ferry who crossed the river, and was forcibly sent over, saying that he would not be sent ashore if he didn't show it, and the people barely came over, and after entering the warehouse, he said that he reached in and turned around, and after a cigarette, he heard a "bang", and it was the fifth sister-in-law who gave birth to the child on the deck.

Dongmei'er gets impatient every time she hears adults talk about this, "Just because I fell loudly, you call me this name, what!" ”

Aunt Song scolded her for being a little girl, and she didn't know that she felt sorry for her mother.

My sister laughed when she heard it, and she rolled on the ground with laughter, Dong Mei'er felt bored, so she didn't want to stay any longer, so she got up and was about to leave.

But before the mother's ferry turned back, Dong Mei'er simply made a grimace at the younger sisters, and then turned over and dived away.

The boats on the river come and go, the water on the surface of the water is not very clear, the more you dive, the more you can see clearly, in fact, Dong Meier still prefers to dive at the mouth of the sea, where the salty water and fresh water are intertwined, and there are more good-looking fish.

But Mom said, if you dare to go down, you are looking for death, the water at the mouth of the sea is swirling, and most adults dare not go down easily, for fear of being taken away by the yin and yang water, if you dare to go down again, you will never see your mother again.

So Dong Meier is now diving and playing in the river, there are actually a lot of messy things under the riverbed, old tree roots, sunken broken boats, shabby furniture that can't be seen, broken pots, broken bowls and broken dishes, you can see everything you want and what you can't think of.

Dong Mei'er went into the water this time, in fact, she was planning to find something good for her mother, although she didn't want people to keep talking about what happened when she hit the ground, anyway, somehow, she felt a little embarrassed. But she also knew that her mother must have suffered a lot, so she wanted to say something.

In the past, she had been groping for a lot of things, and the plate that Big Tail was eating now was the one she touched last summer.

But sometimes she felt that she had touched something good, and happily took it home to show her mother, but she was scolded for being bloody.

After many times, she knew that some things were not clean, and she didn't dare to take them at home, sometimes her mother not only threw things away, but also asked the great monk to write something, and when there was no one at night, she put it in a clay pot and burned it.

Today, this riverbed seems to be quite clean, except for weeds and rocks, there is nothing.

Dong Mei'er was not in a hurry, gently pedaling on the stones at the bottom of the water, trying not to stir up the silt on the riverbed, and slowly groping for a little light that barely shone into the water at noon.

Dongmei'er can dive underwater for a long time without going up, she doesn't know Zhong, she doesn't have one at home, and she doesn't know how long she can dive. Sometimes, there are people singing on the passing flower boats, often the gongs and drums of "Killing" have just opened, and she goes down, and when she comes up, Hui Niang has already burned down Jia Nidao's mansion, black smoke curls, and the boats near and far are all cheering.

Dong Mei'er actually consciously avoided this scene, she always felt that singing the fire-breathing scene on the boat was a little out of tune. Sometimes I told my mother, and my mother scolded her, little girl, don't look at those places in the flower boat, don't look at what you shouldn't see, be careful of rotten eyes!

Dong Mei'er is a little girl who loves to slip away, and now she is groping underwater, and she somehow thinks of the fire-breathing scene, and when she comes back to her senses, she seems to be looking at a silver flash in a crack in a stone.

Dong Mei'er was cautious, and swam very lightly, and if the sand was rolled up at this time, she would never be found again.

Swim closer, a thin little thing, fell silt, algae, but you can also see some silver bottom, Dong Meier buckled her hand, the card is quite tight, she kicked the stones on both sides with her feet, and dragged it back, and the thing came out, but unfortunately the water was muddy, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

The little thing was held tightly in her hand, and she tiptoed slightly, and then floated up.

Dong Mei'er didn't go home, she had a heart, and went to the porridge boat first, planning to give the thing to Aunt Song to take a good look, and let her see if this thing could be given to her mother, and if she would be beaten if she gave it.

"Good boy, this is a squashed silver bracelet!" Aunt Song said with some envy while wiping it with a coarse cloth.

"What's the bracelet that's still long!" Mo Mei'er is a little unhappy, she and Dong Mei'er are about the same age, it seems to be a few months older, but the water is far from being as good as Dong Mei'er, not to mention going into the water to pick up things, sometimes clothes and handkerchiefs or something if they fall into the water, she is not willing to go down to pick them up, if you can't pick them up with a bamboo pole, she doesn't want it, if it happens that adults don't see it, once asked, they say that they were blown away by the wind.

She wants to go to the school on the shore to study, she doesn't want to stay on the boat all her life, but unfortunately her family's porridge boat was once close to the school, and she was driven away.

Mr. Ren said that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, a porridge seller, so close that it disturbs the aroma of the book.

In fact, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, and they are far away from cooking, and after school, Mr. himself stewed meat in the school hall, and my sister has seen it more than once.

It's not because they're Tan people.

But this time, seeing that other people's diving skills are good, and they have caught the baby, she is a little sour.

Dong Mei'er didn't care why the little sister was pouting, listening to Aunt Song's tone, it should be a good thing, so she asked if she could give it to her mother.

Aunt Song understood as soon as she heard it, sighed softly, hugged Dong Mei'er over, touched her head affectionately, and then took the small hammer that pried the oysters, gently knocked the silver strips wrapped in coarse cloth into a round shape, and dipped the brush in the sauce, and brushed it again inside and out.

At this moment, the two chicks were a little stunned, and a bracelet with exquisite patterns and shining silver light was conjured.

Aunt Song also specially found a piece of red cloth and wrapped it carefully for the bracelet boy, and asked Dongmeier to take it to her mother at night, saying that her mother saw it, and she was crazy, and maybe she could add a few more dishes to her and Big Tail.

Hearing this, Dong Mei'er had a score in her heart, but she didn't expect that when she returned to the ferry, what caught her eye was such a scene......
