When I was ten years old, it was the first birthday I ever remembered. In that era, I didn’t have a birthday for me, especially for a child like me whose parents are not at home. when.But my fifth aunt and uncle are very face-saving people. My fifth aunt used to be the women's director, and my uncle was the accountant of the brigade and production team for many years. Before that time, they let out relatives and friends, saying that they would celebrate their birthday.At that time, I didn't know what it meant to live a life, and I didn't know how to live it.I just wondered in my heart, is it possible that after my tenth birthday, I will be able to avoid disasters and not die? At that time, my mother can also bring my sister back from the outside. live together.Imagination belongs to imagination, and reality belongs to reality. It is impossible for the development of all things to follow my imagination.

I remember that on the morning when I was ten years old, my fifth aunt boiled an egg for me and said, "Girl, I will give you an egg for your birthday today." I happily took it and was reluctant to eat it, thinking that I could eat eggs on my birthday ,very nice!The fifth aunt told me: "Eat quickly, it will be fishy when it cools down, and it won't taste good." I looked at my cousin and my cousin didn't stare at me, so I picked up the egg and ate it. feels good.

Walking on the way to school, the sun shines brightly on the muddy road. I carry my schoolbag and run to school, as if today is a symbol of happiness.

When I got home from school at noon, I saw a lot of people coming home, some of whom I didn’t recognize. Some of them smiled when they saw me and said, "Oh, is this the child? She has grown so tall. Look, her body is still growing even when her mother is not at home." Well, it seems that your fifth aunt is a breadwinner." The next one went on to say, "That is, when her mother was at home, she was sick every three days, and now she has grown flesh on her little face after half a year, and it is still white and rosy. Yes. It seems that the two mothers and daughters are not compatible, and they are really at odds with each other... But this is all right, and I will adopt her as the Fifth Aunt in the future..." Said it miraculously, as if my mother and I were real in previous lives As if there is a grudge.

After a while, Second Aunt, Seventh Aunt, and Ninth Aunt all came, and seeing me, they said, "Daddy, these are the new clothes I bought for you. Wear them to keep you warm in winter." As soon as I took the hand, that one went on to say, "Daddy! Boudoir, come here, here, these are the pants Qigu bought for you, try to see if they are short or not?" I smiled and said "yes", just about to go into the room to try, the second aunt grabbed me and said: " Wait, take this shoe in and try it out, see if it fits the size?" I was very happy, and just about to run to the back room with the gift.I only heard a few relatives from my uncle say: "Hey, why don't relatives from her mother's family come to this baby's tenth birthday today?" The other went on to say: "That's it! Her aunt and uncle are here to save face, so why don't you see her close relatives like grandma, uncle, and aunt?" "Hey, do you know if the second brother and the second sister-in-law (referring to my aunt and uncle) have invited them?"" That is, how could you come here without inviting others? Besides, they don’t know whether her aunt will celebrate her birthday, after all, her parents are not here.” I don’t necessarily have to do this for her, my second elder brother and second sister-in-law will give her a living..." As I was talking about my grandma coming, I put down those things and ran over, took my grandma's hand and said: "Grandma, I thought you really weren't coming?" Grandma touched my head and said, "Why? You can forget about other things. How could I forget your birthday? Come on, try it, I I made a new padded jacket for you." I quickly took it out and put it on, and everyone said, "It looks good!" I jumped around happily, and dragged my grandma into the house, and my fifth aunt and uncle rushed to welcome my grandma to sit on the table.After exchanging pleasantries, everyone began to eat and drink, and the atmosphere was very lively.I was very touched when I saw the birthday presents I received one after another, and I thought it would be great to celebrate my birthday, if only I could do this every day.

After the meal, I quietly pulled my grandma aside and asked: "Grandma, will my mother be able to come back after today?" Grandma looked around and whispered to me: "I'm afraid it's not possible yet. I heard that your father We are having a conflict with your mother, and it may take some time before she comes back." "Why? Didn't you say that everything was fine after I hid it from the age of ten? Why has it changed again now?" I asked urgently.Grandma sighed and said, "You are still young now, and I don't understand even if I tell you. When you grow up, you will know the pain of adults." I nodded in understanding, and asked unwillingly. : "Then when will my mother come back? Is it possible that I was really raised by my fifth aunt and her family?" "No, no! After waiting for a while, your mother may come back to see you." Grandma quickly comforted me.I yelled unconvinced: "I don't believe it! You have been lying to me all this time." As I said that, I started to cry... Attracting many relatives to look at us, my grandma took out a handful of candies and stuffed them into my trouser pocket. He said, "Don't talk nonsense. Grandma didn't lie to you. I'll tell you later. It's almost o'clock, so go to school quickly. Otherwise, people will think I'm provoking you." I said "Yeah" and wiped away my tears. opened.My mood suddenly became much heavier, and the thoughts and figure of my mother gradually became faded and blurred.It was as if I was really adopted by my fifth aunt, but my surname was different and I called them different names. I gradually got used to this kind of life and no longer had extravagant expectations for my parents...
