Chapter 575: The Child’s Birthday is the Mother’s Day of Suffering
Until April 21st, today is Yiyan’s birthday.
When Shen Xia woke up in the morning, she and Yi Yan boiled two eggs.
This is Shen Xia's habit, because since she was a child, she has to eat two eggs in the morning when celebrating her birthday, because her mother said that if she eats raw eggs, the year will be peaceful.
So these years.
No matter whose birthday it is, eggs will be cooked in the morning. Of course, if it is one child's birthday, all three children will eat it.
In addition, Song Yun and Song Ming did not come back at noon, so the family gathering could only be held in the evening.
When Yi Yan celebrated his birthday, Shen Xia only called the princess mother and sister Zi Yan from next door.
With this calculation, we can seat two tables.
Shen Xia replaced the table in the princess's mansion with a rotating round table.
There were two tables set up.
Thinking that there would be more people in the family in the future, and inviting a few friends would require two or three tables, Shen Xia ordered a few more tables and put them in the warehouse for backup.
Everyone was crowded at night.
You can arrange your own meals for the evening.
Originally, there could only be three families, but because Zheng Jinshu came here with Gu Zizhan, now Zheng Jinshu's intentions are as clear as Sima Zhao's and everyone knows it.
Only the person involved doesn't know.
Zheng Jinshu is not worried now, he is just thinking about finding a good opportunity to talk about it.
In fact, he mentioned this matter to Gu Zizhan, but Gu Zizhan didn't say anything?
He feels that his sister's life is his, so he has no right to say anything?
But they have only been divorced for about a month, which is too short a time.
So he asked Zheng Jinshu to talk about it later.
Or next year at best.
When things are almost forgotten.
This is a good time, otherwise it would be too close and might affect his sister's reputation.
Shen Xia looked at the lively family in the main hall.
As always, you must prepare some fruit wine when entertaining guests!
Also brought out some orange juice.
For little kids, this is the favorite.
Of course, kids like Mo Yan still like it very much.
So at dinner time, Song Yu took the three little ones, Xiaotian, Mo Yan, and Fan Yu to sit next door.
The adults sit at one table.
Same old rules.
After the meal, we made blow-up cakes. Since I had taught the kitchen how to make it before, this time we made it in the kitchen.
But Zheng Jinshu was eating cake for the first time, so he said, "Sister Shen, can you give me one of these cakes on my birthday next time?"
Shen Xia glanced at Zheng Jinshu. This guy is really shameless!
Have you ever seen anyone ordering gifts?
Fortunately, she was used to Zheng Jinshu's thick skin.
"Okay! But you have to tell me your birthday in advance, because there are many things that need to be prepared in advance."
"Okay!"
Everyone gathered together to sing Happy Birthday.
Although Gu Ziyan and the others don’t know how to do it very well, all the Song family members know how to do it.
The eldest princess would too, because she had celebrated her birthday with Yi Yi before.
So everyone sang along, whether they knew how to sing or not.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you............"
After the singing, everyone looked at Yiyan quietly and made a wish.
Then start blowing out the candles.
After blowing out the candles, Yiyan slowly raised his head and looked at every family member sitting around him with gentle and firm eyes.
He said softly, "My first birthday wish this year is that my family can always be safe and healthy. It is said that a child's birthday is a day of suffering for the mother, so my second wish is that my mother can always be happy and free of worries and sorrows."
When Shen Xia heard Yi Yan's words, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She had never expected that her young son was so sensible and could say such heartwarming words.
Her eyes were slightly moist and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
The second child has always been more honest and considerate.
No one would say that. I never expected him to say that!
It's just amazing.
When the people around heard the words "A child's birthday is the mother's day of suffering", it seemed as if something touched them gently deep in their hearts.
They know very well that in this era, giving birth to a child for a woman is like walking through the gates of hell, and it is a life-and-death struggle.
If you are not careful, you may lose your life, or even suffer the tragedy of the death of both mother and child.
Although Gu Zizhan has no children, he still feels scared when he thinks back to when Xia Shuran gave birth.
If he had not happened to meet Shen Xia, a skilled doctor, the consequences would have been disastrous, and there would have been a tragedy of one corpse and three lives.
Shen Xia smiled and stretched out her hand, gently stroking Yiyan's smart and sensible little head, and said with emotion: "Yiyan is such a well-behaved, sensible and thoughtful child. Mother was very moved when she heard what you said."
"Although giving birth is indeed full of risks, for your mother, giving birth to the three of you was not a difficult day."
"You are the babies that your mother carried for ten months and prayed for every day!" As she said this, she turned her gaze to the other two children in turn, her eyes filled with deep maternal love.
Shen Xia couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Nowadays, many people in society would sigh and call their birthday "Mom's Suffering Day".
However, Shen Xia still finds it difficult to fully agree with and understand this point of view.
Thinking back on every birthday she had passed, her mother never told her on that special day that it was a day of hardship for her as a mother.
For her, a birthday should be a beautiful moment full of joy and happiness, but when it is given such a heavy definition as "Mother's Suffering Day", how should she, as the protagonist of the birthday celebration, deal with it?
Should I immerse myself in joy and laugh to my heart's content, or feel sad because I feel sorry for my mother?
Especially a relative's birthday party that she once attended, which made Shen Xia deeply touched by this.
At that party, adults and children all gathered together. The atmosphere was cheerful and lively, and the children surrounded the birthday boy and celebrated happily.
However, at this moment, a relative next to him suddenly sighed with deep affection: "This child's birthday is actually the mother's suffering day!"
For a moment, the originally lively scene seemed to freeze in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on the birthday boy who had just turned eighteen years old.
She was stunned for a moment at first, and then could only nod awkwardly to show her agreement, but the smile on her face was so stiff. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and it seemed inappropriate not to laugh.
In this way, a wonderful birthday banquet becomes a little subtle because of the words "a child's birthday is a day of suffering for the mother".
For this child, his birthday is his mother’s day of suffering. Children should be filial to their mother and keep it in mind.
There is no need to keep mentioning it.
Make your child feel guilty on his or her birthday.
Her child should be happy on his birthday, and that day should not be a day of suffering for her.
It is God's gift to her.
