A few days later, today is Ye Shiqi's second birthday. As soon as she got up, she received blessings from her elder sisters.
At breakfast, she also had red eggs.
Birthday celebrations for girls in farmer families were not grand affairs; simple red eggs and longevity noodles were still eaten, provided that the family members remembered her birthday.
Mrs. Li would give her daughter a red envelope in the morning and go to the ancestors to offer incense, pastries, and fruits.
Hongji, as a father, had also prepared a red envelope, which he planned to give to his daughter after breakfast, before he went to work.
Ye Shiqi was wearing a pink dress today, specially dressed by the maid; the dress had a sheer outer layer and a cotton lining. It's a simple style that was comfortable and sweat-absorbing during the summer.
