Yesterday was Qixi Festival, as I'm sure everyone knows.
Coincidentally, Qixi Festival is also my birthday, since it's the 17th.
My dad kept emphasizing yesterday, "It's your birthday today, don't be silly."
So I listened to him. But from the moment I got up, I was the one who hung the laundry out to dry; I was the one who bought breakfast; I was the one who cooked rice; in the evening, I was the one who washed the dishes; I was the one who helped my younger brother take a bath; then, while my brother and I were playing in our room, he suddenly came in and told me, "I'm not taking a bath, you go wash the clothes." I washed the clothes; and when it was almost bedtime, he asked my brother if he wanted cantaloupe, and my brother said yes, so I cut the fruit.
Whose birthday is it anyway?
