This New Year is the easiest year Jiang Xiaobai has ever had.

Every day, I accompany the old man to play bridge, cook some meals he likes, accompany his family, and tease Jiang Shan, Jiang An, and Jiang Hao.

On such a day, it is really good for the country!

But the days of reunion always seem to pass quickly.

It's the sixth day of the first month in the blink of an eye.

Today is Jiang Shan's seventh birthday, and tomorrow is the day when relatives are separated and go to different places.

The old man instructed Jiang Xiaobai early in the morning to prepare a grand birthday for Jiang Shan.

"Old man, don't worry, the child has a birthday every year, let's cook something delicious and give her a simple celebration." Lin Jiayin persuaded Old Man Lin and said.

The old man's face showed displeasure: "The child celebrates her birthday every year, and I can't accompany her every year, what's wrong with giving her a good birthday?" ”

"Okay, okay, okay, don't be angry, just do what you ask." Lin Jiayin hurriedly surrendered, gave Jiang Xiaobai a look, and asked him to prepare quickly.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, knowing in his heart that he was going to leave tomorrow, and the old man was reluctant to vent in this way.

Otherwise, the ninety-seven-year-old man, who has never celebrated his birthday and does not allow his family to be high-profile, how could he suddenly ask for a birthday for his great-granddaughter in person?

"Well, Xiaobai, you go and prepare well, I'll personally call the boss and ask them to come back for dinner in the afternoon."

The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Let the uncle and them all come back, Jiang Xiaobai felt that it was a bit exaggerated, but he didn't dare to persuade him.

Forget it, let the old man toss!

He doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that others don't speak, Lin Dawei said: "Dad, big brother is so busy, I'm afraid I'm ......"

The old man didn't raise his eyelids: "I'll call first to see if he can arrange time!" Even if he can't come back, everyone else has to come back for me. ”

The old man had a tough attitude and staggered to the phone.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Jiang Shan, who entered the house after practicing boxing, interrupted Jiang Xiaobai, who was still pondering, with a smile.

"Oh, just now your grandfather said that you should ask Dad to prepare a meaningful birthday for you, and Dad is thinking, what kind of birthday is a meaningful birthday?"

"Dad, the family is happy and happy together, it is the most meaningful birthday!" Xiao Jiang Shan raised her head, looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a smile, and continued: "It's the first time I've been in Tianjing, with my grandfather, Gaga, Gagong, uncle, aunt, cousin, cousin...... With so many people celebrating birthdays together, isn't that the most meaningful birthday? ”

"Yes!" Jiang Xiaobai touched her daughter's head and said with a smile: "You're right, being together as a family is the most meaningful day!" ”

Looking at his eldest daughter, he was sincerely happy in his heart and beckoned: "Shanshan, you go wash your hands first, and then we will make a birthday cake by ourselves together, okay?" ”

"Yay, that's great! I can make birthday cakes with my dad! ”

The little one ran to wash his hands with joy.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at her daughter's figure, smiled and turned around to go to the kitchen.

……

When Jiang Haiyang got up early in the morning, he sat next to the telephone, looked at the telephone from time to time, stretched out his hand, and put it down again.

"Old man, what are you sitting there in a daze when you get up early in the morning, come and eat tofu skin."

Wang Xiuju wiped her hand on the apron with non-existent water droplets, and called Jiang Haiyang to eat breakfast.

Jiang Haiyang said: "Today is Shanshan's birthday, I want to call her, but I am afraid of disturbing the Lin family." ”

"Forget it, let's have breakfast first, you called so early, people thought we urged Xiaobai to come back. They'll be back tomorrow anyway, so it's okay not to call. Wang Xiuju said.

It is to comfort my wife and children, and it can be regarded as comforting myself.

Jiang Haiyang silently walked over to eat bean skin, not very interested.

Wang Xiuju said: "Don't think about it so much, I also kept a few pig tails for Shanshan, and I didn't eat them in the Tuan Nian." ”

In Qingzhou for the New Year, there is a custom of eating pig's head and pig's tail, which means "there is a head and a tail".

There is also a custom for children to eat pig's tail on their birthdays. Say a child's birthday as "long tail!" It means to be one year older.

Jiang Haiyang was stunned: "No wonder during the New Year, I didn't see the pig's tail in the hot pot, it turns out that you put it away!" ”

Wang Xiuju smiled: "Otherwise! ”

……

Tianjing.

The old man's phone call has been issued, except for Lin Dazhao, who said that the time is uncertain, the other Lin family members have promised to go home and have dinner together.

Lin Daodao returned to Jiangcheng on the first day of junior high school, and it was impossible to rush back, and the old man wanted to reunite again, but there was always a missing corner.

On the other side, Jiang Xiaobai took her daughter into the kitchen and made a birthday cake with her daughter.

After the efforts of the father and daughter, a cream fruit cake was finally successfully made, and Jiang Shan was full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Daddy, I'm going to take a picture!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Okay, you go to your master to get the camera." ”

"Okay!"

Jiang Shan happily ran to Ding Zhongping to get the camera, and took left and right shots at the newly made cake, up and down.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at her daughter who was busy taking pictures, and couldn't help but laugh, thinking: "Fortunately, there is no V letter yet, otherwise it must be the circle of friends who will eat first."

After taking the photo, Jiang Shan ran to ask Ding Zhongping: "Master, I have a birthday today, can I call my grandparents?" ”

"Of course, do you need me to dial for you?"

"No need, master, I remember the phone number, I'll come by myself."

Ding Zhongping looked at the little girl in front of him, at a young age, he was alone away from his parents, came to the north more than a thousand kilometers away from his hometown, practiced boxing with himself, lived here, and was always neither humble nor arrogant, and polite.

In the winter in the north, when adults are in bed, not only do she not need to be supervised, but she always arrives earlier than herself every day, runs first after the morning run, and then practices boxing. Wind and snow are unimpeded.

This child has really been taught very well, and he must have a bright future!

Here, Jiang Shan, who has an "unlimited future", has already answered the phone.

"Hey, hello!" The phone rang, and Jiang Haiyang, who had been next to the phone, hurriedly grabbed the microphone.

"Hey, is it Grandpa? I'm Jiang Shan. ”

"Ahh Sanshan! Grandpa wanted to call you in the morning, I wish you a happy birthday! ”

"It's Shanshan, hurry, hurry, hurry, give me the phone!" Wang Xiuju, who was sitting on the side of the fire, hurriedly got up and snatched the phone call that Jiang Haiyang was answering.

"Hey, Sansan, happy birthday! Did you eat pig's tail today? Wang Xiuju's voice softened and said with concern.

"Thank you, grandma, I haven't eaten the pig's tail yet, when I get home, you can make it for me."

"Okay, good, you're back, grandma made it for you!"

"Grandma, I just made a birthday cake with my dad, and it's beautiful. When you celebrate your birthday the day after tomorrow, I'll make one for you, too! ”
