What is a birthday and why should I have it? Mother's birthday

If I remember correctly, Mo Zijian's first birthday was when he was twelve years old, and he may have celebrated it before, or maybe he doesn't remember it. But he remembered his birthday when he was twelve years old very clearly. Still remembered.

So let's say that this is the first birthday of twelve-year-old Mo Zijian.

I don't know when the countryside also began to eat cake for birthdays? Of course, it must have been from the beginning of the children clamoring for food, or the filial piety of the children and grandchildren to learn from the people in the city, but also to the elders to give fashionable gifts and blessings. So Mo Zijian also said to his parents: Say yes, this year I turn twelve, promised me, I want to buy cake. No remorse!

"Do you really want to buy it?" I'm just kidding. That stuff isn't necessarily much tastier. ”

"Ahem! Definitely buy! They all promised me! Some time ago, Zhang Wei's birthday her father bought her a very good cake. ”

"Boy, I just teased you. Promise to buy it, you must buy it. Your sister said she bought it back on your birthday. ”

Mo Zijian was nervous and excited, and a little shy. When his sister and newlywed brother-in-law walked toward the house carrying a large cake box, they both asked: Who has a birthday today? Buy such a big cake.

Since then, there hasn't been a single official birthday in years, and no one has even mentioned it. Not even himself.

No one really cares about "birthdays" or it's worth celebrating, it doesn't really make much sense. Isn't birthday proof that a child is a year older and an older person is a year older? At least Mo Zijian really thought and understood this when he grew up, including his family, most of them were all this concept.

Until now that he has a child of his own, he has uncharacteristically brought the topic of birthday to his heart again. Every year, the children's birthdays he keeps in mind, always think of some ways to let the original he thought: no one cares, it is not worth celebrating, there is not much meaning of the birthday, become more meaningful, valuable!

Birthdays are every year, everyone has them.

Since you have begun to care, what about the other members of the family? Especially the elderly father and mother?

My mother was old, but she never celebrated her birthday. There was never a piece of cake bought for her.

Mother also used to say, who always remembers those insignificant things? The days are not all like that day by day, and what is the difference between birthdays?

Last October 1st. Hualian, Huadong, Huating, Huafang brothers and sisters took their partners and children from all over the world and rushed back to their hometown to make the seventieth birthday of their mother Hua Sanniang. (Here's a word: in the countryside, do nine and don't do ten.) For example, if you want to give a banquet to an old man at the age of sixty, seventy, or eightieth birthday, you have to do it in the first year of the whole ten years, not on the day you turn sixty or seventy. It's about doing nine and not doing ten, and the same for children, and the same for everyone. ）

Needless to say, Hua Sanniang is harmonious and pleasant, and her heart is also beautiful. The children have not yet returned, and Coke is almost everyone who says it.

Mother and Hua Sanniang are different months in the same year, looking at people, people's children, grandchildren, natural, people are emotional animals, without a touch that is impossible, this is not a comparison. This is the normal feeling of man, the normal state of man, and it is really normal.

The mother came back from the banquet and sat in the doorway shaking the fan.

Next month I will also be sixty-nine, seventy-year-old.
