Chapter 956 Birthday Congratulations
Parents still didn't mention Feng Yuxuan's worries at night, so it shouldn't be because they forgot, did they all change their temper?
Later, she simply put the matter behind her and happily drank a few glasses of wine with her father.
After dinner, the house was very lively. Many people came and gathered under the arbor in the backyard. Of course, they were not admiring the moon. Those who have the highest level of education generally are those who have graduated from elementary school. Just get together and chat.
The center of the chat is Feng Yiping who is far away in the United States.
What he did in the United States was reported on TV news and newspapers, and Jiaqiang’s official website reported in more detail.
To be honest, many of these people present may not understand Feng Yiping's actions, but the purchase price of nearly 500 million US dollars, the rising stock price, and the upcoming cooperation with a big company like McDonald's...
No matter how low the level of education is, everyone knows the weight of it.
Even if you don't know, after listening to the analysis in the news, you will naturally understand.
Feng Yuxuan, who was in charge of refilling tea and pouring water for everyone, would naturally get compliments from everyone. Although she could feel that those compliments should all come as incidentals, she couldn't help it. Who told her brother to be too dazzling?
Of course, although she is an old girl in the countryside, no one mentions this. Isn't that too ignorant of current affairs? No one said to help her find her son-in-law or something. Everyone knew that Feng Yuxuan mostly looked down on the people they knew.
Feng Yuxuan watched her father laughing all the time in the crowd, and when she saw her, her eyes were full of joy and anticipation—it didn't look like she was angry with herself.
So she slept very peacefully on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.
When I woke up, I saw, ah, it's already past 9 o'clock! It's been a long time since I slept like this.
"Get up," Mei Qiuping, who was busy packing, looked up at her, "Breakfast is in the kitchen, hurry up, we have to rush to Mei's house for lunch,"
"Where's Dad?"
"He's leaving tomorrow morning, and he's still in the factory today,"
In other words, the critical education that I have worried about for a long time does not really exist? Are parents so reasonable? Feng Yuxuan's steps were much lighter.
…………
Grandpa's house is very lively today. The backyard has turned into a large kitchen. As before, several open-air stoves have been set up. What is different from before is that among the busy people, there are two well-dressed chefs , They came from Jiasheng Holiday Hotel, and they were leading a group of older girls and younger daughters-in-law to pick and wash vegetables and chop vegetables.
These two are just standing in the front. Tonight, the executive chef of Jiasheng Holiday Hotel in the provincial capital will bring a team to the town. Tomorrow morning, there will be a refrigerated truck to bring some ingredients from the provincial capital. Tomorrow morning , They will borrow the professional stove in the canteen of the industrial park in the town to cook a few dishes that are not suitable for earthen stoves.
Mei Qiuping entered the house with two cardboard boxes, looked at the four brothers and daughters-in-law who were busy preparing lunch on the stove, and said loudly, "Hey, how are these sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law so close?"
"Elder Sister," "Eldest Sister is here," they all smiled and took the things from Mei Qiuping and Feng Yuxuan, "Doesn't this show that your Feng brothers are capable?"
Cai Hong also laughed, "What did you bring?"
Indeed, the four sisters-in-law of the Feng family are really harmonious now, but it's not that they finally "grow up", become sensible, and have a better temper, but that their lives have generally changed for the better.
In the past, there were several reasons for mutual dissatisfaction. Looking back now, I think it is a little funny. Speaking of it, it was all because of money, and none of them valued the money they won in the first place.
Although the elder sister and the fourth younger brother have the best life, the good life of the brothers is also driven by the elder sister and the younger brother. They even help solve the children's education problems.
And the remaining three days are much more prosperous than those of some small bosses in the city. The young and easy earn hundreds of thousands a year, and the risk is not great at all. There are several houses in the city, and the average Mercedes-Benz They can afford to drive a BMW. In the town, in the county, wherever they go, as long as they know their identities, others will definitely greet them with smiles...
What else is there to say?
Now that he is rich, he naturally cares about status and face. Besides, can he still make his father-in-law angry after a few days of quarrel like before? They dare not!
They understand very well that when the father-in-law is in a good mood, the eldest sister's family and the fourth child's family will be in a good mood. On the contrary, the eldest sister and the fourth child's family will be in a bad mood, which may even bring their own income.
No one will do stupid things that are difficult for money.
Although in private, the first aunt, the second aunt, and the third aunt who are together all day will inevitably have conflicts, and it is still inevitable that there will be signs of ignorance, but these things, they have never brought it to the surface.
"It's all some dry goods at home, and it just happens to be useful this time,"
"Sister, these are all good things," Cai Hong opened a box and said, "In some cities, you can't buy them with money."
Could it be something good? The ones sent home by others must be picked up and delivered.
"Then let's go home tomorrow. If you like anything, you can pick it yourself." Mei Qiuping was a little worried when she saw the things in the storage room, there were too many.
"Hehe, then I will definitely go tomorrow,"
Feng Yuxuan saw that the other three aunts seemed a little unhappy after hearing her mother's words.
"Here we come," Mei Jianzhong, wearing a Chinese tunic suit and open cloth shoes, walked into the room with his youngest grandson Huihui in his arms.
"Here comes Dad," "Grandpa,"
Cai Hong hurriedly followed Huihui, "Didn't I say that now I have to walk by myself without being hugged by adults?"
"It's okay," Mei Jianzhong rubbed his little grandson's head, "I want to hug him, isn't it, Huihui?"
He looked at the box on the ground, "Didn't you buy all the vegetables, what else did you bring from home?"
"I can't finish eating these at home," Mei Qiuping said.
"Grandpa, drink tea," Huihui carefully held a cup and handed it to Mei Jianzhong.
"Good boy, are you thirsty? Do you want some milk?"
The other three aunts looked at this scene, and they still had a bit of a taste, as if this little one was always painful.
"Yuxuan, why didn't Yiping let her girlfriend come back with her daughter, wouldn't it be four generations living together? What a joy!" Second Aunt asked.
"How can I get her back now?" Mei Jianzhong said, "It's fine if you can come and see me."
Moreover, I not only have a great-granddaughter, but also a great-grandson.
"Yiping and the others said that next year, they must bring their children to celebrate grandpa's birthday,"
There were enough people on the stove, Feng Yuxuan didn't bother to join in the fun, so she just sat there to tease Huihui.
"There's no need to do it every year," Mei Jianzhong said, "I know you have filial piety, so there's no need to make such a big show every year," Mei Jianzhong said.
"Dad, of course we have to do it next year. You will be 85 next year," Mei Qiuping said.
"Grandpa, in a few years I will also bring my child to celebrate your birthday," Huihui suddenly ran up to Mei Jianzhong, raised her head and said seriously.
"Haha," everyone in the room was amused by his words, and these words are also very appropriate, the meaning is better than longevity, and the omen is also very good.
…………
On the morning of August 17th in the lunar calendar, the threshing ground in Meijiayuan, which was neatly paved with cement, was swept clean. A truck brought a load of tables and chairs, and several young people were unloading the truck like a competition. .
In the other car, a set of speakers was unloaded. Mei Yiliang, who was very interested in this, brought Huihui to join in the fun.
It is estimated that the number of people who will come to celebrate the birthday today, the noodle factory will be closed for one day today, and the large open space in front of the factory is also used for banquets. The total number exceeds 100 tables, but I still don't know if it is enough.
Originally, it would be better to be in the auditorium of the town's industrial park, but Mei Jianzhong just didn't want to go to the town, and his sons and daughters knew his intentions, but even if this matter was done in the village, it wouldn't be low-key.
At home, Mei Jianzhong still wears a tunic suit, but the shoes on his feet have been replaced with leather shoes. His hair has been cut and his beard has been shaved, making him look more energetic.
What he is happiest is that not only his children are here, but even his grandchildren are here. A large group of people surround him, which is very lively.
Just after eating the Longevity Noodles, Feng Zhenchang came with his brothers, and then Lao Cai brought his two sons. In the Heing family's company, those who benefited directly and indirectly also sent people to accompany the ceremony.
At 9:30, the main players of the Provincial Theater Troupe, who took a lot of effort to invite, performed with all their heart on the temporary stage.
Around the table, the guests who sat down casually ate the birthday peaches made by the time-honored pastry shop in the provincial capital, as well as fresh peaches shipped from the northeast, as well as pastries such as moon cakes and cakes, and nuts such as peanuts and walnuts. Applause.
Nowadays, when people have happy events, they usually show movies and sing operas. I haven’t seen them for many years, and it’s a provincial troupe. It’s said that they usually don’t accept such performances.
This excitement made the vehicles on the road linger for a while as they passed by.
In a minibus, Secretary Zhao looked at the densely packed cars parked on the river beach in front of the village, and said to the driver, "Don't drive forward, go there too."
The person watching the car saw a large group of leaders getting off the car, and hurried over, "Secretary Zhao, hello County Magistrate Sheng, you don't need to stop here, there is a parking space over there, I will take you there,"
"It's okay," County Magistrate Zhao waved his hand, "It's a few steps, just walk over." In fact, it's not just a few steps, it's at least a mile or so.
But he couldn't hear clearly on the river beach. He walked on the very lively grain drying field, with his hands behind his back, and looked at the cars parked next to him with great interest, although they were all vans and sedans such as Wuling, Chang'an, and Changhe. There are not many, but looking at the local license plates on these cars, and thinking about the people who came to celebrate their birthdays today, he is still very happy, "What is achievement, this is the real achievement. If the days are bad, how can ordinary people Buying a car, how can I afford a car?"
"Major Sheng, how many motor vehicles are there in the town now?"
"Registered, the latest data is 2,873, with an average of 5.3 vehicles per 100 people, not lower than the level of some developed regions in the south,"
"Of course, there are mainly cars over there, but here we are still mainly vans,"
Sheng Zheng was quite honest. The general leader would not take the initiative to add the latter sentence when reporting in front of his superiors.
"I think it's not that everyone can't afford it, but it's mainly because vans are more practical in my place, and it's convenient for people to pick up goods," said the Director of Investment Promotion.
"Secretary Zhao, County Mayor Sheng, leaders," Feng Zhenchang ran over with Mei Yiliang after receiving a call from Huang Chengzhong, "Why do you park your car here? There is a reserved space over there,"
"Brother Feng," Secretary Zhao held Feng Zhenchang's hand, "It's very good here. We are very happy to see that there are so many cars in the town. Thanks to you and Mr. Mei."
"Secretary, please be polite. The county and town will help us even more. Leaders, this way please,"
…………
"Yo, so many acquaintances?" Looking at Lao Cai and the others in the room, Secretary Zhao smiled.
"Leader, it's so embarrassing to bother you to come here in person," Mei Jianzhong stood up.
This was not the first time that Mei Jianzhong met Secretary Zhao, but the last time he met, Secretary Zhao was the county magistrate.
"Old uncle, please sit down quickly," Secretary Zhao took his hand and sat down, "You are fully worthy of your sons and daughters, who have made such a great contribution to the town and the county, old uncle, we Everyone, thank you!"
"No matter what you say, they didn't do anything. Even if they did something, they should be accounted for. They can't be thanked by the leader,"
"Yiliang," uncle Mei Guosheng pulled him aside, and the second son Guoping and the third son Guohua were also there, "There are too many people and not enough space, what should I do?"
"How much more?"
"Add half more to barely sit down,"
That means 150 tables, "so much?"
Mei Yiliang thought for a while, "Let's start with ourselves first. Huihui's uncles and aunts will not be at the table now, and the people in the yard will wait until the evening. This is definitely not enough. I will talk to the elder sister. Tell Feng Jiachong to wait a while, in short, the older ones should go to the table first, and the ones with ordinary relationships should also be allowed to sit first."
This is really a trouble of happiness. On average, it is estimated that two-thirds of the families in the town have come to give gifts.
…………
After some commotion, at 11:30, there was no arrangements for children's birthday greetings, leaders' speeches, etc., and the firecrackers went off, and the meeting started on time.
The dishes of their family are naturally different from those of ordinary people. The menu is all drawn up by the chef of the hotel. The first dish is a cold dish, which is also a big platter; roast chicken); the third course, Fushou Shuangquan (steamed potato ribs with powder); the fourth course, Wanshou Yannian (Tu Huoling stewed turtle)...
When they reached the eighth road, where the blessings were like the East China Sea, Secretary Zhao and the others at the main table looked at the two middle-aged men who hurried down from a car on the side of the road, and quickly stood up, "Secretary Tang, Director Qian ,"
The person who came was the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and director Qian of the China Merchants Bureau.
"Hello, Uncle Mei, today is your birthday. Mayor Zhou received a notice at noon to go to the province to report. He couldn't come in person. He sent me to represent him to congratulate you on your birthday. This is the birthday couplet he wrote for you."
…………
Not many people rushed to the table from the Feng family, but Feng Zhenchang and his brothers were all old, so they naturally sat down. At this time, looking at the scene of Mei Jianzhong's birthday, the fourth uncle said, "Our parents don't have this Good luck!"
ps: A group has been established, 454, 231, 228, everyone is welcome to come and give more valuable opinions. I look forward to having the opportunity to communicate with you!
