Reborn in the 60s and adopted

July 16th is Tang Mei’s birthday.

Tang Mei wanted to stay in bed in the morning, so she woke up and took a nap. She thought Sister Yan would call her soon.

"Meimei. Are you up yet?" Aunt Tang's voice sounded outside the window.

Tang Mei heard the sound, turned over and put on her clothes quickly.

"I'm up, I'm up." Tang Mei opened the door and said, "Good morning, Mom."

"Haha, it's still early, little girl. Your sister Yan is waiting for you outside the door." Aunt Tang said with a smile.

"Ah, I'm late, late." She forgot that Sister Yan and Sister Ran moved out yesterday, and thought that Sister Yan would come and knock on her window as usual.

Tang Mei ran out of the door in a hurry and saw Pei Yanyan who had been standing at the door for a while.

She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Sister Yan, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"You little girl, it's only the first day I left and you couldn't get out of bed. This is not okay. If you want to be healthy, you must exercise. What's more, you need to learn some self-defense skills." Pei Yanyan scolded in a timid manner. She was not really angry that the little girl was late.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I won't do it again next time." Tang Mei quickly lowered her head and acted like a quail.

"Here," Pei Yanyan handed her the things she bought.

Tang Mei felt that Pei Yanyan had something for her, so she quickly looked up and took it. Tang Mei opened the wrapping paper and found a Diamond brand horseshoe alarm clock inside.

"Happy birthday. With this, I won't have to wake you up in the future." Pei Yanyan put on a smiling expression.

Tang Mei was particularly surprised by this gift. She had thought about buying one before, but when she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw that it cost more than ten yuan. She didn't want her uncle to give her so much money, so she had no choice but to give it.

"Thank you, Sister Yan, but it's still too expensive. You can keep it for yourself." Tang Mei handed the alarm clock back, suppressing her heartache.

Pei Yanyan saw that the little girl liked it very much, but didn't dare to buy it because of the price. She is a good child.

So, she smiled and said, "This is a gift for my little apprentice, but she doesn't want it now. Maybe I didn't choose what she likes, so I had no choice but to let her throw it away. What a pity for my kindness."

After saying that, he took the alarm clock and pretended to throw it away.

"Hey, hey, Sister Yan, don't throw it away, don't throw it away, I like it, I like it." Tang Mei hurriedly caught it, fearing that she would throw it away.

"That's better." Pei Yanyan put the alarm clock in Tang Mei's little palm.

"Take it back first and put it away before coming out to exercise. I'll go first and you run slowly in front of me, and then you can catch up with me later." After Pei Yanyan said this, she spread her long legs and ran forward.

Tang Mei took the alarm clock back to her room and carefully placed it on the bedside. Tears flashed in her eyes. She just tried not to let Sister Yan see it. In her previous life, she used everything her brother left over, and no one gave her a gift. She didn't expect to receive such an expensive gift today. She was so happy.

Tang Mei wiped the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, sorted out her emotions, and went out to continue catching up with Pei Yanyan.

After morning exercise, Pei Yanyan and I returned to our respective homes.

She was about to wash up.

"Meimei, come quickly." Aunt Tang waved at her.

Tang Mei entered the kitchen and saw a bowl of noodles with a poached egg on the table.

"Mom~" Tang Mei felt a little sour in her nose. This was something that parents would prepare for ordinary children's birthdays in her previous life, and now she finally had it.

"Eat quickly, our Meimei. You're 5 years old today. You've grown up a little bit." Aunt Tang San pulled Tang Mei to sit down and touched her hair.

Tang Mei picked up the chopsticks and started eating. This was not the kind of noodles that you buy, but noodles that she rolled herself. Her third aunt had prepared it for her early in the morning. It was really good to have a loving home.

"Thank you, Mom." Tang Mei thanked him vaguely with her mouth full of noodles.

"My daughter is being polite to me. Haha, you're welcome.

I have to go to work soon. I just put your gift on the bed for you. You can change into it later. Then go and invite your sister Meimei's family and your two educated youth sisters to come to our house for dinner in the evening." Aunt Tang San said, then she hugged her and let her go.

"Yeah, I get it, Mom." Tang Mei said obediently.

"Then I'll go to work first." Aunt Tang San.

Tang Mei watched her Third Aunt leave the house, then quickly started eating noodles. She wanted to go and see her other gift.

After washing the dishes, Tang Mei entered her room and saw a floral dress with many blue flowers on it placed on her bed. She couldn't wait to put it on and even turned around.

Tang Mei went to Tang Li's house in a good mood.

"Sister, are you home?" Tang Mei saw that the door of the Tang family's main house was not closed, so she walked in.

"Hey, I'm at home." Tang Li poked her head out of the kitchen.

Tang Mei trotted forward happily.

"Wow, my little Meimei is wearing such a beautiful outfit today." Tang Li looked at Tang Mei with a smile on her face as she looked very happy.

"Yeah, I think it looks good too. It was made for me by my third aunt." Tang Mei boasted.

"Wow, what if I don't have any?" Tang Li teased her deliberately.

"Mom is mine, ask your aunt to make one for you." Tang Mei.

"Haha, our little Meimei is so cute." The aunt who was making rice cakes at the moment couldn't help but interrupt when she heard what the two little girls said.

"Aunt, you are making fun of me." Tang Mei pretended to be angry.

"I don't, I don't." The aunt waved her hands quickly.

"Meimei, wait a minute, I'll go get something." Tang Li ran away without waiting for Tang Mei to speak.

After a while, she handed something to Tang Mei.

"Hey, this is the birthday present I picked out for you at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Lying in Tang Li's palm was a red hairband.

Tang Mei took it and gestured on her head, "Sister, does it look good?"

"It looks great, it goes really well with your skirt."

"Thank you, my dearest sister. I love you so much." Tang Mei hugged Tang Li and kissed her on the face.

"You little devil." Tang Li hit her with a smile.

"Aunt, my mother asked me to invite you to our house for dinner tonight," said Tang Mei.

"Okay." The eldest aunt agreed immediately. In the past, when Uncle Tang invited them to dinner, they would not go. There were three mouths to feed, and her third brother had to feed them so much. In those days, food was very scarce. But since her family started making white cakes, they were no longer worried about not being able to repay the favor.

"Sister, why don't you come with me to the Youth League Institute to play with Sister Yan and Sister Ran." Tang Mei suggested.

"This..." Tang Li was a little hesitant. She was still helping her mother light the fire and make white cakes.

The aunt saw Tang Li's dilemma.

"Hey, girl, if your sister asks you to go, just go. I can handle it myself."

"Okay, then I'll go after I wash my face." Tang Li didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
