Chapter 15: Gan's Twelfth Birthday (I)
After the end of the New Year, Gan Xiaotang can go to the ground, with the reduction of winter clothes one by one, the smoother the person goes, the little short legs pedal, a wrong eye is not staring, people can go far.
Gan Xiaotang didn't want to be arrested as an outlier, and thought that she was only a little bit better than children of the same age, but she didn't know that just the point of her outburst was enough to make people amazed.
The female baby is better than the male baby, but there are not many people who are as well-behaved as Gan Shiyi, they love to talk and laugh, they are stable since they learn to walk, and they are clean when they look at it, except for the first two months when there is no tacit understanding or there is no time to warn at night, and they have never wet the bed and pulled their pants.
She doesn't like to cry, her big black eyes like grapes look at you, as if she understands what you say, and she will give her a face-saving reaction when you tease her, grinning with a few teeth, laughing into people's hearts. Learn to speak quickly, and call people straight to the hearts of people.
She doesn't make milk, eats earlier than others for special reasons, eats everything fragrantly, and doesn't recognize life, anyone can hold it. Gan butcher felt murderous, and the children in the family were afraid of him, but this heart-hearted baby meat was not afraid of him, and he babbled to hug him when he saw him.
Gan butcher wants to hold a little longer, there are now two more helpers in the family, everyone is a lot easier, there is a lot of time to coax the children, they all like to amuse Gan Eleven, Gamboli Gan Wenli is a few big, originally to the age of not interested in children, now I have a sister, the first thing I do after school is to coax my sister to play, a few and a half children are crowded in a room, noisy to death.
Gan Xiaotang changed from eating, drinking, sleeping and playing to eating, drinking, sleeping and playing, and the excitement was quite big, but the family wanted to hug her too much, and after the excitement of walking at the beginning, Gan Xiaotang became hugged again. It's not difficult for her to take the time to tease adults to play, but her favorite is to play with Gan Twelve, who is half a year younger, and Gan Twelve also sticks to her, and Xu is a relationship that has been cultivated since she was an infancy. Although Gan Twelve is not as easy to take as Eleven, he is far more well-behaved than his brothers, and this hard-won son is Tang Qian'er's heart.
July 18, Gan 12 full moon, Gan's family began to be lively early in the morning, Sister Chun boiled water in the kitchen to boil happy eggs, on the other side of the stove steamed cakes under the noodles, Gan butcher and Gan Da were not at home early in the morning, breakfast was not said to be used together, who was hungry to go to the kitchen to eat, the older few have been enlightened, all in a private school, noisy to eat quickly to go to school.
Tang Qian'er shouted at the top of his voice that Wulang should not take his younger brother to play with the soil, and only changed into new clothes, Gan Xiaotang woke up and did not fully wake up, crooked on the bamboo chair, blown by the slight cool breeze in the early morning, looking at the excitement in the yard.
Zou Xiaoxi checks the children's school bags. He explained to Da Lang, "I already told your master yesterday that there is a happy event in the family today, and you will come back with your younger brothers after the morning class." ”
"Is it true that the second child said that his uncle would invite the troupe over today?" Gamballi asked.
"Yes, Uncle Tang invited the troupe to celebrate his twelfth birthday, but this play is not sung on the street, it is sung in your second uncle's restaurant, you can go over to watch the meeting after lunch, but don't make noise, don't make trouble."
"Got it." Gambori knew that there was a drama to watch, so he whistled happily, and before leaving, he didn't forget to squeeze Gan Shiyi's face and flesh hard, seeing that she was babbling and drooling before letting go, "Eleven should be good today." ”
Gan Xiaotang looked at him angrily, this brother is really annoying.
It's been a year and a half since I arrived here, Gan Xiaotang finally figured out her ten brothers, in fact, it's easy to remember, 13579 is her own brother, 24680 is her cousin, the name is the 12 words that Ah Weng said, the most benevolent and virtuous, pure, and then add a reason, because A Weng said that you must move forward with reason in doing things, and when you first heard these eight words, Gan Xiaotang always wondered which university's motto it was, but she rarely called a big name every day, and it was called ranking.
Although the brothers are all mixed together, because they have actually divided the production, there are still slight differences between the two brothers, for example, today her second aunt prepared new clothes for her cousins for Gan's twelfth birthday, and her own brothers just wore ordinary clothes.
It's not that the second uncle's restaurant earns more than her father as a butcher, the restaurant business is unstable, her father has to kill five or six livestock every day, and he has to sell meat from his own meat stall, and there are more during the New Year's holidays, Gan Xiaotang listens to her mother's accounts every day, and feels that she earns a lot, her mother is more economical, and the children at home have one or two sets of neat clothes to go to school and will not be laughed at, new clothes are only available on birthdays and New Year's holidays, and the fabrics are also selected to be strong and durable, unlike the second aunt will choose some good-looking fabrics.
But I don't blame her mother for saving, her mother is an orphan girl who fled here, and she was dressed in tattered clothes when she was rescued by Ganda.
Her second aunt is the daughter of a grocery store, and she couldn't put down the dowry when she married in, and when she heard them chat, she laughed and said that Tang Qian'er could be said to support herself until now, and she didn't use her second uncle's money.
Tsk, I still have to have my own money.
Hulala went out with seven children, the yard quieted down as soon as it came, Sister Chun came out after finishing the kitchen work and began to sweep the yard, Zhou Niangzi came over at this time, smiled and said hello and asked the old ten to make it clear that he hadn't eaten yet, so he went to the kitchen to get a bowl of rotten noodles to feed the children, Tang Qian'er put the crying Gan Zizi to Gan Xiaotang's side, and his face was half powdered, "Sister-in-law will help me take a look at Twelve, and I will come after painting my face." ”
Zou Xiaoxi said hello in the house, and when she came out, Gan Shiyi stretched out a finger for Gan Twelve to hold, and Gan Twelve twitched and stopped crying.
"Eleven is really good, and he will coax his younger brother." Zou Xiaoxiao said with a smile. Although she has only given birth to a girl like Eleven, Eleven is enough for her to preach everywhere, how easy it is to raise a daughter.
It was a blessing for her to have a daughter.
Tang Qian'er dressed up herself, dressed Gan 12 like a red envelope, turned her head to Gan 11 and dressed it up, there is only such a little lady in the family, anyone who sees it wants to dress up, Gan 11 February 2 shaved hair has not grown up, only a small tugging hair on the top of the head is drooping, and there are hair forks all around, this is thanks to Gan Xiaotang who can't look in the mirror now, I don't know my dignity, listening to everyone praise her for being beautiful, I really think she is beautiful.
Tang Qian'er used red rope to weave a hat like a fishing net for Gan Shiyi to wear, and filled it with silk flowers between each space, and at a glance, it was like a low vase full of flowers.
Gan Xiaotang didn't know, but when she saw that everyone said that she was good-looking, she squinted and smiled beautifully, and everyone praised it even more sincerely.
The Tang family came not early or late, it happened that the Gan family was ready, the Gan butcher came back to bathe, clean, change his clothes, put a basket of happy eggs at the door, and when the neighbors came to congratulate him after lighting the firecrackers, the Gan butcher welcomed his in-laws in, just without answering the neighbor's joke that the granddaughter put on a big scene to invite someone to drink when she was one year old, and this grandson's anniversary is not, you are favoritism or something like that.
The neighbor is not bad-hearted, but it sounds awkward to hear this, and people like Gan Butcher who are not good at words have to explain to their in-laws, "The male babies have never done it before, and even if eleven is a little lady, if it is twelve, I am afraid that they will feel unfair when they grow up." ”
"On a child's birthday, just close the door and be lively, and all the things that are not there are lively for others." The shopkeeper Tang said, "Besides, this big family eats, wears and chews all money, if they all do a lot of work, they don't usually live?" ”
Tang Qian'er and her mother ripped off the corners of his clothes, talked as he spoke, what did he do with yin and yang, and said hello to Liu Sanniang, Tang Qian'er hugged Gan Twelve and came out to pick up his maternal uncle, everyone took turns to hug for a while and then put it back on the couch, and the adults sat elsewhere to drink tea and chat.
