cake

(Written on February 11, 2020)

My license plate number ends in 211 because February 11 is my sister's birthday.

According to the habit, you should buy a cake to eat to satisfy the sense of ceremony. But none of the cake shops near my house could withstand the expensive urban rent and moved away, and there is not a single one left. I've been away from Taipei for too long, I don't know where to buy cakes, and my father's health is not suitable for cakes, so forget it. Just look at the photos of the small cakes you bought last year. That cake was awful, the best part was the shape, which was good for reading visually.

My sister's birthday is exactly seven days apart. When I was a child, my family bought big cakes for my sister's birthday, and they often lasted for several days. When it's my birthday, no one wants to eat cake anymore, this day will be skipped automatically, and it will be eaten after my brother's birthday next month. I complained to my sister and she said:

"Oh, there's no way to do this, otherwise let's cut the cake together! I'll leave one knife for you to cut, two candles for you to blow, and one for you if you wish."

"Which one?"

"The one that can't be said."

No one in the family mentioned her sister's birthday today, but no one should have forgotten it. The car with the license plate ending in the same number as his sister's birthday is quietly isolated in Guangzhou, another world across the sea.

My sister is also in another world. It was her new birthday the day she immigrated, so I was a little jealous that she had one more birthday.

Seven days later is my birthday. My 94-year-old grandmother passed away a few days ago. I chose that day to do immigration. "Happy and mourning are different days", this year also saved. My grandma is lucky, my sister is very nice, I think I will take good care of her.
