824: C824 Birthday(2)

C824 Birthday(2)

I'm a little scared, a little uneasy, a little self-abased.

Aunt seemed to have seen through my thoughts. She called out to her cousin, "Shanshan, come over and greet Aunt and Brother Mr Xiangyang."

"Aunt..." Ye Shan walked out from the middle of the guests and called out to her mother in a polite manner. Such a way of address, if those psychopaths or filthy people heard it, they would definitely think the other way.

After that, Ye Shan sized up my tattered attire from top to bottom, and her gaze fell on my trousers, which were covered in mud and wet legs.

Finally, she fixed her eyes on my legs, which were emitting a foul stench, which were exposed to the air and had a pair of tattered cloth shoes.

"Aiya, so disgusting!" Ye Shan shouted loudly and could not help but retch. She hurriedly pinched her nose and escaped back to her room under the astonished gazes of the guests.

"Shanshan, what's wrong with you? Why are you so rude?" Aunt left us and chased to the door of her cousin's room. She saw that the door had been locked from the inside. She knocked on the door twice and shouted while sticking close to it. No one answered inside. They heard the guests whispering in the hall. She didn't care about her anymore. She turned around and walked to her mother, who looked confused. Embarrassed, she said, "Sister, I'm sorry. Shanshan has been spoiled by me and her father since she was young. She didn't know any manners at all. Don't worry about her. Let's go. I'll take you guys to wash your feet and find some clothes to change into for Xiangyang. "

Her mother asked worriedly, "Is Shanshan alright?"

"She's fine." Aunt smiled at her mother and added, "She's throwing a tantrum in front of us. Don't worry, she'll be fine after a while."

Aunt brought Mother and I to her and Uncle's main bedroom. Aunt used a washbasin to go to the Ovens to get us a large basin of water. She put a clean towel inside and let us wash our faces. She then poured the water that had washed our faces into a foot basin for us to wash our feet.

We came out of the rain. Mother and my clothes were all drenched in the rain. Aunt found her clothes and asked Mother to change into them.

As they were sisters of the same father and different mother, their figures and bodies were similar, so Mother wore her clothes more fitting.

I am different. Uncle is rather tall. I am a child who has just turned ten today. Although Aunt found me Uncle's youngest clothes, they are like a robe on me, long and big.

However, this set of clothes is quite warm on me, so I can't care about that much. After changing, I followed my aunt out of their bedroom and into the hall.

At this time, lunch had already begun.

Good fellow, the entire living room is filled with tables. Every table is filled with customers, and the tables are filled with all kinds of delicacies -

The dishes on the dishes were beautiful and fragrant. The chicken, duck, fish, and meat were all there.

It seems like my aunt and uncle have specially made meticulous preparations for our birthday. Seeing this scene, I was a little touched. From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful to them.

After the guest was settled, he specially reserved a table for me and Ye Shan, the two little birthday stars. His aunt, aunt, and mother, a crippled middle-aged man whom we didn't know, and his daughter.

This little girl seems to be slightly older than me. She has delicate features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and is very beautiful. Her clothes are also rather plain, but very clean.

Her gaze is kind and friendly. She is a completely different person from my cousin Ye Shan's cold appearance. If the three of us are placed together, in the eyes of outsiders... You would think that we are a pair of cousins who are related by blood.

I cast my gaze on those guests who had given me birthday gifts and ran over with empty stomachs to prepare for a full meal. I had already begun to wolf down the customers and search among them, but I didn't see any traces of my cousin.

My uncle was going to greet the guests, so he toasted to the guests one by one. My aunt arranged for me and my mother to sit together with the crippled man and her daughter at the table, but I don't know where they went.

My mother and the crippled man looked at each other. They had a feeling that they had met before. Their faces couldn't help but turn red, and they seemed to be a little awkward with each other.

As we are not familiar with each other, no one said a word.

I inadvertently looked towards my cousin's room and found that her door was still closed. Suddenly, the door to her cousin's room opened. Ye Shan, accompanied by her aunt, was called out and slowly walked towards our table.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you!"

At this moment, someone started to sing the Happy Birthday Song. All the guests stood up from their stools and applauded for the proud little princess, the birthday star.

Although my aunt invited me and my mother from the countryside to celebrate my birthday with my cousin, but these guests are all snobbish and only know how to celebrate my cousin's birthday. Bless, applaud, and cheer for her, but they leave me like air to the side.

When my cousin came to our square table, she felt that my body was dirty and my feet were smelly. She said nothing and sat on a stool with me. My aunt couldn't do anything to her, so she had to arrange for her to sit with the little girl from Cripple's house.

Her cousin seemed to be very noble, but she also ignored this little girl. It was as if someone else had been born with eight lifetimes of debt to her. Although the two of them sat together, they rarely spoke.1

After everyone sat down, her mother pointed at the crippled man sitting opposite of us and said, "Sister, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Huaqiang, a comrade of our Old Ye."

"Hello!" Her mother smiled at Zhang Huaqiang.

"Hello, nice to meet you." Your sister often talked about you in front of us," Zhang Huaqiang said. She praised you for being good looking, capable, and kind to people. I saw you today, and it was true!"

"No, don't listen to my sister's nonsense. Actually, I am very ordinary." Her mother noticed that this guy was looking at her with a pair of eyes that did not have good intentions. She quickly shifted her gaze to my aunt's face.

"This is his daughter, Zhang Yao. She is one year older than our Shanshan. They are in the same school and are studying in the same grade." Her aunt pointed at the little girl sitting next to her cousin, Ye Shan, and whispered into her mother's ear. She continued, "Unfortunately, when Brother Zhang was in the army, he was on a special mission. In order to protect our Elder Ye, he was seriously injured. When he was sent to the hospital, due to his severe injuries, he amputated one of his legs. His wife couldn't bear the loneliness at home. She was afraid that she would suffer along with him, so she ruthlessly abandoned the father and daughter pair and ran away with someone else. "

"Hey, what a cute, pitiful little girl!" Her mother did not know the real purpose of her sister arranging Zhang Huaqiang and her daughter to sit at the same table with us. She did not know what she was trying to do. She thought about what happened to us after my father passed away. She looked at Zhang Yao with sympathy and spoke from the bottom of her heart.
