1009 Birthday of the Elder

Four days after Sati Ray-Lou gave birth to her second child.It is the twenty-ninth day of the moon of Zhu.

That day was the birthday of Grandmother Jiba, the eldest of the Lou family.

Me and Ai Fa are allowed to celebrate together at the Lou family dinner only on the birthday of Grandma Jiba and Limi Lou.This is the result of the importance given by the parents, Donda-Lou, to the depth of the bond that was fostered between Ai-Fa and the two names.Conversely, there was a side to the fact that special measures had been taken, especially since the old days, only by the two people who were close to each other, because of their deep ties of friendship with the Lou family.

Anyway, I appreciate that I can celebrate Limi Lou's birthday with Grandma Jiba.Last year was the birthday of Grandma Jiba, who had a big feast at the same time as the Harvest Festival, but this year was a rainy season, so it was agreed that she would be invited to dinner as usual.

On that day, she asked me to help her prepare dinner, so after the street food business, she visited the Kamado hut of Lou's main house and started cooking.Limi Lou, Raina Lou, and Lara-Lou, who were encouraged to work in the same place, had a lot of happiness for everyone.

"If you think Saty Ray's baby is born, it's Vina's sister and Sheila Lou!Limi is so happy with all the really happy things! "

"Yeah, really. I'm not a bloodline, but I'm as happy as I am."

As Ei Fa also said, I'm going to be deeply attached to Vina Lou Lillin, Sheila Lou, Schmiral Lillin and Durm Lou.Though there was still a long time left before the birth date, I had no choice but to have my mind up and running.

"You still have more than two months left until Schmiral-Lillin returns?What kind of face do you look like when you come back?I want you to sneak up on me. "

"Ahahah, you might cry with joy!But even if Asta were to meet Schmiral-Lillin before Vina's sister, you should never say that! "

"I know. Is it hard for Limi Lou to tingle?"

"Ahahah, that's right!But I'm going to cum! "

As usual, the Lou family's cabin was considered to have more enthusiasm and vitality than usual.

I thought I'd calm down a little, and I waved another topic to Lara-Lou.

"But when it comes to street food business, it was tough.Regardless of Vina Lou Lillin, Sheila Lou has always been in charge of the stall. "

"Hmm, yeah, but that's why I turned my head around.It's just a little faster than I expected. "

That said, Lara-Lou spilled her white teeth.

As a result of discussions in the Lou family, it was officially decided that the successor of Sheila Lou would be succeeded by Lara-Lou.

Recently, the help ladies have also raised their arms, so there is no shortage of cooking.In other words, Sheila Lou herself and the person in charge of the stall often left it to the women to help, and she managed the assistant and the blue sky cafeteria so that she could grasp the whole thing.In terms of responsiveness to accidents, Lara-Lou was originally superior.

In the future, Lara-Lou and Reina Lou will alternate to serve as partitioners.As Sheila Lou and Vina Lou Lillin leave, they will train a new crowd.As was the case with Lily Sudra and Ama Min-Luthim, when the women who were helping the stalls became pregnant, they had to immediately develop new talent.

(Looking at it now, I wonder if Sheila Lou recently gave up partitioning or attending a study group because she felt pregnant.)

It is only after a certain amount of time that the women report their pregnancy to someone they do not have a family.As far as Vina Lou-Lirin is concerned, her partner Schmiral-Lillin is already three months pregnant because she is traveling in the middle of the silver moon.Then it was reasonable to assume that Sheila-Lou, who reported pregnancy at the same time, was aware of the pregnancy at the same time.

Anyway, such a story would be a bad thing.

Lara-Lou would have done a good job as a partitioner.I was watching her bravery these days, and I was able to watch her without any worries.

But, are you really glad Lara took over the stall partition?

And Limi Lou, who was stirring the contents of the deep dish with a wooden whipper, suddenly said that.

Lara-Lou, who was in a good mood, immediately looked up and said, "What happened?"Looking back at her sister,

"I've been doing my best to prepare for this day.Don't you feel anxious to leave the partition to me? "

"No, no! I mean, it's almost the blue moon.The blue moon is Lara's birthday, right? "

"... it's been awesome for over two months now."

"Yeah, but Lara's going to be fifteen, so Sin-Lou and..."

Without telling her naughty sister until the end, Lara-Lou said, "Shut up!"Her face is brighter red than her hair.

"Children like you don't have to worry about that!I'm thinking about all sorts of things! "

"Hmm. Hmm. Well, that's fine then."

And Limi Lou interrupted the stirring work and placed the whipper on the workbench, and smiled at the red-faced sister.

"Well, it doesn't seem like even a wedding can have a child right away.Then don't worry! "

"Limmy!" she roared, and Lara-Lou stormed into her sister.Limi Lou screamed and ran away.Their sister Reina Lou said, "Hey!"she cried.

"It's dangerous to run between them!I'm also setting fire to your barnacles!Limi doesn't make fun of Lara much! "

"Yes, I'm sorry," Limi Lou apologizes like a puppy with her ears hanging.

Reina Lou took a breath and looked back at me.

"I'm so sorry, Aster.Because of all the good things that went on, Limi seems to be completely floating. "

"It can't be helped.I'm totally floating inside. "

"Still, it's the right way to get your feelings right.Limi is almost ten years old, so we need to be firm. "

"Yeah, okay... sorry, Lara?"

"Yikes! If you're going to apologize, don't say anything extra from the beginning!"

Lara-Lou returned to her workplace in anger with a red face.

When Limi Lou looks up at Reina Lou worriedly, her sweet sister smiles.

"I'm not angry anymore, so Limi has to do her job.I'll make you some delicious sweets, won't I? "

"Yeah, sorry."

Naughty but honest, Limi Lou lowered her head and then took the whipper.

Limi Lou must have slightly removed her wings.Normally, no matter how nasty they are, they never scold me like this.

And Limi Lou has such lucidity and depth of mind that her childhood doesn't suit her.So I'm sure half of what I just said was based on Lara-Lou's thoughts and fate.

(Lara-Lou will soon be 15 years old and be able to give her a wedding.I was only 12 when I met her.)

Lara-Lou had her birthday almost two months after I came to the forest.Therefore, two months after I turn 19, it will be my third birthday.It was something that made me feel the flow of time.

(In the meantime, Hoduleir-Sudra and Asla-Sdra are born, Zedias-Lutim are born, and Sati Ray-Lou are born... how many months later will Vina Lou-Lirin and Sheila-Louu be born...)

Besides, I'm standing at both of those weddings.When Zedias Lutim was born between Gazran-Lutim and Ama Min-Lutim in the same position, I was very emotionally shaken.When I think about how much Schmiral-Lillin has deepened the bond, or Darm Lou, who started with bad luck at first, will finally become a father, I was more likely to be disturbed than that.

(Whatever Lara-Lou was thinking, she would eventually have a wedding with Sin-Lou... Ah, the wedding of Morn-Rutim and Dick-Dom was almost over... so I wonder if it would be more and more lively as the children were born.)

And today is Grandma Jiba's 87th birthday.

Even I'm not even 19 years old yet. How many thoughts does Grandma Jiba, who lives more than four times, have in her chest?That kind of thinking made me feel more and more emotional.

◇

In that way, it is sunset.

I sat in the hall of Lou's main house with Ai Fa, who arrived about an hour ago.

But dinner is not ready yet.Today, before that, I had refrained from a ceremony in which flowers were given to me by the people of my branch.

Originally flower gifts were exchanged between families living in the same house, but the eldest would still receive the greatest respect. Living 87 years was not the case around the forest.

The hall is lined up with Grandma Jiba and her parents, as well as her eldest brother and wife.The rest of the family and guests retreated to the left and right walls to watch the ritual from their sides.

Originally, it would have been enough for the eldest to have their parents lined up, but this time, Ziza Lou and the others were especially sitting there to show off their new children, who had just been born four days earlier.

Saty Ray-Lou was still wearing the colour of fatigue, but there was no more expression of happiness in the details.

An astonishingly small baby is held in his hand.The baby is said to be considerably bigger than the average, but the baby is still a baby.Just watching that tiny figure made me feel like my chest was jammed.

"I am more than happy that the eldest Jiba-Lou has celebrated his 87th birthday.I want you to live for a long time to lead Lou's blood. "

Sin-Lou, the head of the branch, lowered his head with a solemn look and handed the blue Mizora flower to Grandma Jiba.

It seemed that the people of the branch would come together from house to house, with Lyada Lou and Tali Lou and their two younger brothers, and their family Mida Lou, behind them.

"Jiba-Lu... you want me to live forever...?I'm so happy to be a bloodline with Jiba-Loo...? "

"Thank you, Mida-Lou... oh, this is a splendid miso..."

Grandma Jiba returned a soft smile and a gentle voice to each of them.

You can't wear all the flowers you've been given, so once you've received them in your own hands, they're moved to a fresh grass basket.The smell of flowers spreading from you made me even more dazzling.

It was the face of the Jeddah family that came in after the Sin-Lou family.

And Jeddah the head of the house, and Balsha his mother, and Michael and Mime his family, four men in all.

"As the blood family of Lou, I think it is more difficult to deliver a congratulatory message to the eldest.We haven't given him yet, but I want you to keep an eye on him forever. "

Jeddah was a little nervous and dedicated flowers to Grandma Jiba.

Balsha and the others also dedicate their thoughts in short words, one flower after the other.

Then came Darm Lou and Sheila Lou.

"Ah, thank you both so much... I'll pray every day that Sheila Lou gives birth to a strong child..."

"Thank you. Please keep her safe until she's born and grown up."

Sheila-Lou seemed to have blossomed in a relaxed and calm atmosphere.

Dulm-Lou has become more demanding than usual.I'm sure Daw Aung Yang has hidden so much joy inside.If Sheila Lou even showed me her true feelings, I was satisfied for the time being.

When the two people leave the room, a large group of people will enter.There were seven branches of the Lou settlement, including the newcomers Darm-Lou and Jeddah.

"The oldest Jiba-Lou. I am proud to have lived for 87 years as a blood family.I want you to continue to be healthy and know that Lou's blood is strong. "

The men who spoke like that exuded some fierce signs.

Of course, this is how close I am to the Lou family, so I exchange greetings with my approximate family.But the person - I've seen a little of him before - was someone I don't remember talking to clearly.

He is probably the head of the family, because he speaks first.But it feels a lot younger.There's plenty of piercing, but at best in my early 20s.Moreover, the rough vitality was ahead of Piroku.

"Thank you, Digd-Lou... I hope you take care of your life... because so many families care about you..."

"I didn't have to tell you. No matter how many wounds I get, I'll show you how powerful Lou is until he gets old."

From such words, I can tell the courage of the person.Among all the brave Lou's hunters, he seemed to be the type to stand out.

Is the upper back about 180 cm?It has a soft and supple body and may resemble Durm-Lou.The temper of this sparkling flame also led to the Darm Lou when he was angry.

Her black and brown hair is flat, and her pale blue and gray eyes peek from the gap.The intensity of his eyes was not unusual, and reminded him of a hungry wolf, similar to the one he had once seen in Durm-Lou.

Moreover, he has great features in his appearance.

The tight face was covered in big old scars.

Dick Dom and others also had many old scars, but they were not comparable.What kind of wounds have you suffered? From the top of your left eye to around your cheeks, there are many ripped wounds running through, and on your right cheek, the first letter old wound reaches from your nose to your right ear.I'm sure it was originally a straight face, but the vertically and horizontally running scars caused his skin to convulse, distorting the shape of his nose and eyes, giving him unparalleled power.

"Then let my family give me flowers of blessings."

The man, who was called Digdo-Rou, leaned aside on his side and gave up his place to his family.

I'm sure some houses are integrated branches.Old and young men and women are in turmoil, and the number seems to be more than ten.

And Digdo-Lou, who had leaned aside, turned to us, of course.

"... this should be the first time I've ever been greeted.I'm the head of the subdivision, Digdo-Lou. "

"Mm-hmm. I'm Ey-Fa, the head of Fa, and this is Asta from my family."

"No one in the Lou family knows his name anymore.You've been invited to Lou's feast more than once. "

While saying that, Digdo-Lou laughed hard.

The smile is like a hungry wolf.

"But I've never said hello to you before.Do you know why? "

"No, is there a reason?"

"Certainly. That's why."

Digdo-Lou protruded his face towards Ai-Fa and traced the old wound on his left cheek with his fingertips.On the back of the hand, there are ten characters of stitches left.

"I'm so bloodthirsty.Even in front of the frenzied gibbers, they don't want to escape onto the trees, and they always interact from the front.This often puts them in deep straits, and they often sleep at home to heal them.That means fewer chances to come to the feast, fewer chances to meet you. "

"Hmm...."

"Recently, however, hounds have caused fewer injuries.At the next Harvest Festival, we will try to compare power for the first time in a few years.I look forward to a day with you, Ey-Fa. "

"Hmm? Even if we were invited to the Harvest Festival, we wouldn't be allowed to join the force comparison."

"What, a little leisure for the feast.In the northern settlements, how many men were they dealing with?... I've always wanted to compare my strength with you, Dan Rutim.It's a leisure time, but I'd like you to refrain from fruit liquor so that you can wield your full power. "

That being said, Digdo-Lou turned his back.

The other family members also finished their greetings and left the house as soon as they led them.And as people from the new branch came in, Ludo Lou called out to us.

"I guess I've never spoken to Digd-Lou before.He's my father's brother's eldest brother. "

"So you're in the same position as Sin-Lou?"

"Oh, Lyda-Lou is my youngest brother and Digdo-Lou's father is my second brother.My father returned his soul a few years ago and Digdo-Lou became the head of the family.The rest of the fewer people in the other branches became family members of the same house, so that's how many people there are. "

While saying that, Ludo Lu scratched his tight lower jaw with his fingertips.

"And as he said himself, he was always in deep trouble.I harvest more than twice as many people while I'm healthy, so even if I subtract the rest, I'll be able to make a penny.I'm sure you haven't challenged your strength in a couple of years... but you haven't lost to anyone other than your father or Dan Rutim. "

"Did you beat Ziza Lou and Gazran-Lutim?"

"Yeah, a couple of years ago.You still look strong enough, don't you?No matter how deep he gets, he won't lose any power at all.In comparison to the next power, I'll have them do it too. "

So Ludo Lou spilled his white teeth like a prank boy.

"So if you're having a good time, you can do it with Ai-Fa, too.Now it's time to fight me too. "

"... we're not officially invited to the Harvest Festival yet."

"I'm sure you'll be invited this evening.If you don't talk, I'll crush you, so don't worry. "

Ludo Lou is just a man of his own accord.Then I'm sure that Digdo-Lou isn't dangerous either.Certainly powerful, but I didn't say anything hostile to Fa's house.

"... is he a hunter with great power?"

When I whispered like that secretly, Ey-Fa leaned his neck, "I wonder what it would be like."

"Something's too strong for him, and it's hard to see the power.It seems to be as powerful as Donda-Lou, and it feels like a mere appearance of temper defeat.... I don't know if I don't actually put my hands together. "

"After all, does Ai Fa respond to the power comparison if it's a spare time?"

"Well, it doesn't make sense not to respond to Lou in the northern settlement.If, of course, Donda-Lou or Ziza-Lou will forgive it. "

Ai Fa was gradual, and he didn't seem to attach special importance to the existence of Digdo-Lou.

Of course, even with me, I want you to deepen your ties with all your fellow countrymen around the forest.When I met Graph-Zaza and Dick-Dom, it was a horrible thing.I wanted to see what kind of bare face was hidden inside that brave man.

While I was thinking like that, it seemed that the celebration by the branch people was over.

Meer Ray's mother invited her family to gather in the middle of the hall.Before dinner, flowers were now given to me by my family and guests.

"I sincerely congratulate the eldest Jiba on her 87th birthday and wish her another healthy year."

Headed by the head of the family, Donda-Rou, the family gave flowers to celebrate one after the other.

Sati Ray-Lou's partner, Ziza Lou, has prepared her share, which has not yet regained her ability to walk outside.I wonder if Kota-Lou, who is only three years old, picked it with his own hands.They were sending white, lovely flowers that were blooming near the settlement.

"I am sincerely happy to celebrate Grandma Jiba's birthday this year.Please take care of yourself and stay healthy forever. "

Ai Fa handed over the red Mizora flowers with her beloved expression in full view.

Grandma Jiba is sneezing at her wrinkled face with pleasure.

Finally, I am the last seat of the guest.

"Congratulations, Jiba-Lou, on your 87th birthday.Please eat a lot and live a lot longer. "

"Thank you... I'm so happy to have Ei Fa and Asta celebrate again..."

Even at the age of 87, Grandma Jiba looked very well.

Blue eyes shine brightly and clearly beneath the dripping eyelids, and even a small body feels like a life force unbeatable to young humans.Despite the cold season nights, there was no sign of it at all.

"Now let's get ready for dinner."

At the behest of Reina Lou, who serves as the partitioner, we dance back to the shed.Since dinner had been prepared for the celebration day, it was quite a noise even for four people.

The main dish is fried food.Menchi cutlets and cream croquettes are prepared for the weak-toothed old lady, followed by "Giba cutlets" and a new fried dish.

The new fried dish is an arrangement of how to handle the stripes in the castle town.It was a dish in which Giba Bacon was fried with pumpkin-like striped paste and fuwano powder, which should have allowed Grandma Jiba to eat without any problems.

The soup dish is a "miso saucepan" that uses the ingredients that come to mind. The side dish is "Leggy and Ma Gigo's Sorborough Stew", topped with rolled eggs and narcotics, and the staple dish is "Chocolate-flavored Shasca".These offerings, with the exception of fried dishes, were strangely Japanese, but Reina Lou said that they were all Grandma Jiba's recent favorites.

Well, let's get dinner started.

Donda-Lou chanted the pre-meal words with a loud voice.

After repeating it, Lara-Lou delivers the wooden dish to Sati Ray-Lou.

"Yes, it's Saty Ray's song.It's still hot, so be careful not to get burned. "

What was prepared on the wooden plate was a rice cooker with gibberish meat, yural pa, and bunashimejimodoki.Sati Ray-Lou, who hasn't recovered yet, was specially prepared for dinner.

Also, do you think you can eat soup dishes?If you just rinse, you won't get enough nutrition. "

"I see... can you share half of it with the wooden dishes?I don't have much appetite... but I need nourishment to feed them. "

"Yeah, but eat slowly so you don't feel sick again."

Lara-Lou looks very worried.

In return, Saty Ray-Lou answered, "Thank you," and gave a clear smile to her slightly thinner face.

Sati Ray-Lou seems to be feeling a lot sick, even though she looks so happy.Ziza Lou stared at her with thin eyes like a thread.

"Well then, I'll hurt the baby.... oh, you're sleeping well.What a lovely sleeping face. "

Tito Min, who had been given the baby, smiled with an unbeatable gaze at Jiza-Lou.The baby is sleeping on the fourth day of life without knowing the noise from the outside.

This baby was named Rudy Roux.

Apparently, it's the name I got from Sati Ray-Lou's mother, who died young.Rudy Roux's face was still unclear, and it was impossible to tell whether he looked like his father or his mother.

Darm Lou and Vina Lou Lillin left the house, and the family of Lou's main house was eleven.This Rudy Roux was born as a new twelfth person.

How does Kota-Lou, who is only three years old, feel about recognizing her sister's existence?She seems happy that her mother looks happy and worried about her poor health.

And Kota-Ru and Rudy -Ru were both the sons of Grandmother Jiba's great-grandchildren, Xuan grandson Yagoshi.

What an amazing story, once again I was biting my emotions - Rudy Lou, who should have slept in peace for a long time, started crying.

"Oh, you don't like your grandmother?... ahh, I want milk. "

"I'm sorry. I'll let you go back to bed... Aster, take your time."

Sati Ray-Lou, who received my child, was escorted by Tito Minh's grandmother and left to sleep.Lara-Lou brings Sati Ray-Lou's dinner to the basin and chases it.

Meer Ray's mother laughed kindly as Jiza-Lou silently waited for the family.

"Just take care of you until Saty Ray gets here.And dinner hasn't progressed at all. "

"... hmm. I know."

When Ziza Lou turned to the other child, she stroked her head with a large hand.

"Don't worry about Saty Ray. You should eat the bonito too."

Kota-Lou nodded and started eating 'Giba Katsu'.

After seeing her, Ziza Lou turned to Grandma Jiba.

"I'm sorry to disturb the festive occasion.I think Saty Ray will be fine soon..... "

"What can I apologize for... when Rudy was born safely and Vina and Dulm had a baby... I'm happier than ever..."

That's how Grandma Jiba smiles at her words.

There was a kind of solemn atmosphere in the hall, and even Limi Lou had a naughty atmosphere, but everyone seemed to be quietly biting the joy of the day.
