A thousand flowers and a thousand bones and a thousand moons

Today is my first birthday, according to the local customs, my parents will hold a banquet for me.

In the morning, when the rooster begins to crow.My mother came to the cradle holding a new set of little red clothes she had made.She said softly: "Mother's Xiaoyue, today is your first birthday, many people will come to see you later, you have to be obedient and don't be naughty!"

As she helped me put on my clothes while talking, I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth when I saw myself in the bronze mirror.Because I found out that except for the lack of blush on both sides of my cheeks, my whole person is like a lucky doll in a Chinese New Year painting.

I really wanted to fight against my mother, but when I saw the joyful smile on my mother's face when she looked at me, I resigned to my fate.I comforted myself in my heart and said: It’s okay, it’s not just pretending to be a fuwa, you must know that I am a baby now.I kept hypnotizing myself in my heart. At this time, the sky began to dawn, and my mother began to get busy.

Because a banquet is going to be held, father and mother have to prepare the ingredients and wait for the chef to cook later.Gradually, it was getting brighter, and helpers came to my house one after another.Suddenly my hut became very lively, the yard was full of laughter and conversation, and the faces of my parents were filled with happy smiles.

I can feel the lively atmosphere in the air even when I stay in the room, and I can hear the sound of pots and pans colliding in the yard from time to time.It was almost noon, and because of everyone's cooperation, my birthday party was held as scheduled.

After a while, the guests began to visit the door to say congratulations, when the guests arrived almost.My father said to the guests: "Thank you everyone for participating in my daughter's first birthday banquet. Next, let's give my daughter a week and then start the banquet."

After he finished speaking, my mother took out the weekly items prepared last night and placed them on an empty long table.Seeing that everything was almost ready, Dad turned around and said to his mother, "My lady is almost ready, go to the house and take Xiaoyue out!"

After listening to my father's work, my mother came into the house to hug me.I saw my mother hugging me, who was dressed like a Fuwa, at one end of the long table.I looked around and looked at the items on the table.

I know almost all of these items, including my father's four treasures of study books, my mother's sewing kit, a string of money, and some small toys and so on.I know mine is a good one compared to other children's birthday parties in Hualien Village.

At this time, I heard my mother say: "Xiaoyue, take whatever you like, go quickly!"

I didn't want to disappoint my mother, so I crawled towards the object in front of me.In the end, I took my father's four treasures of the study and my mother's sewing kit, and everyone was pleasantly surprised when they saw what I had brought.

I heard one of the guests say: "This daughter of Hua Xiucai's family is extraordinary! It seems that she will either be a talented girl in the future, or she will be able to manage the family!"

Hearing what he said, I beg to differ.Because no one knows what will happen in the future, and who can say that when I was a child, I looked at the child of Chengqiao, and I won't become a villain when I grow up?

But unexpectedly someone agreed with what he said, and someone said: "Yes! There are so many things, she doesn't choose anything else. Only these two are the only ones, and it seems that they are not far from what you said."

Hearing others say this, what happened to my parents?I looked up at them and I saw smiles on their faces.That smile seemed to be joyful, but also arrogant.

My father saw that the time was about the same, so he said to the guests: "Okay, the week is over. Now, let's invite everyone to sit together!"

Then everyone started to sit at the table. When sitting at the table, my mother was a woman.According to the rules, I can't sit with men, so my mother hugged me and sat with a group of female guests.After everyone is seated, the food starts to be served.

Chicken, duck and fish are indispensable in traditional banquets, and naturally they are also indispensable in my family's banquets.But when my mother saw these meat dishes, she started to vomit.

The experienced woman at the same table said to her mother: "What's wrong with the lady of the Hua family? Are you pregnant again?"

Hearing what she said, my mother remembered that her menstrual affairs seemed to be gone when the time came, and she reflected now.Mother confirmed that she was pregnant, so she nodded shyly.After being confirmed, the female guests at the same table were very envious of their mother.They all hurriedly said to their mothers: "Congratulations to the lady of the Hua family."

At sunset, the banquet broke up.Because I knew that my mother was pregnant, the helpers helped to clean the kitchen utensils and the floor.In order to thank them for their help, Mother asked them to bring the leftovers.

After seeing off the helpers, Dad entered the house.As soon as he entered the room, he saw my mother hugging me and looking at him. My father was very surprised and asked my mother, "What's the matter? Why doesn't the lady come in? You have been tired all day today." After listening to what my father said Finally, I saw my mother shyly say to my father: "Master, I am pregnant, and you are going to have a child again."

At that time, after hearing my mother's work, my father was so happy that he couldn't speak. He quickly hugged me from my mother's hand, as if he was afraid that I would tire my mother.

Seeing Dad's actions, Mother's expression became very helpless.Even I, who was in my father's arms, felt helpless for such a father.
