The air is always exceptionally cold before the arrival of winter, which seems to indicate that this year's winter will be earlier than usual.

The pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and their clothes were tightly buttoned, for fear that the cold air outside would penetrate into their clothes, and the breath that erupted from their mouths had begun to hang on with hoarfrost.

This year's winter seems to be coming soon, and decades ago today, it happened to be the day Ye Zhenghao was born.

This old pirate who ran rampant on the sea many years ago is now an old man in his seventies, wearing a bright red Tang costume, standing in the large courtyard exclusive to the Ye family, holding a warm teapot in his hand, standing quietly in the courtyard, looking up at the sun that is gradually climbing into the sky.

Today is the last day of Ye Zhenghao's 73-year-old, and he will officially step into the ranks of 74-year-old from tomorrow.

There is an old saying among the people, called seventy-three eighty-four, and the king of Hades does not take himself.

In fact, there is no scientific meaning to this statement, but there is such a legend in ancient times that these two ages are a hurdle for the elderly.

According to legend, this matter is related to the two ancient saints, the Confucian saint died at the age of seventy-three, and the sub-saint Mencius, at the age of eighty-four, the country has always respected these two ancient scholars, and felt that the two generations of saints could not get over the hurdle, let alone ordinary people.

Although there has been no scientific basis for this, many folk old people are still very concerned about this age, and even many old people don't remember their birthdays at all, which is actually a kind of self-deception.

Unexpectedly, this old pirate who has been rampant at sea for decades would care about this kind of thing.

Everyone in the family is curious, what happened to this old man today?

In previous years, on his birthday, everyone would celebrate him, although the old man could not leave the courtyard back then, but every year this birthday banquet is still very grand and lively.

This year, Ye Zhenghao finally came out of that small courtyard, it is said that this is a thing worth celebrating, but I don't know why, Ye Zhenghao himself doesn't really want to hold this kind of banquet, he just said that he will have a birthday this year, but he doesn't invite guests, he just opens the door, and he welcomes those who are willing to come to the door, and he doesn't force those who don't want to come to the door.

Everyone in the family felt that this time the old man came out of the courtyard, and it seemed that the temperament of the whole person had changed a lot, and even his speech was not as strong as before.

But no one found out that in fact, it was not Ye Zhenghao who really changed, but the Ye family has changed now, and it is no longer the industry overlord of the year.

The sky was already bright, and the time was almost close to ten noon, and there were ten large tables in the entire Ye family's big courtyard.

At this point, as it does every year, there is no change in specifications.

Every year, I can't sit at these tables, and the Ye family at that time can be said to be everyone who wants to sit at the table outside when they are crowded.

These positions are basically first-come, first-served, whoever sits down first is whoever, at that time, everyone has to look at Ye Zhenghao's face, perhaps also under his obscenity, this face must be given enough.

But today, the time is almost noon, and the table outside has been set up all night, but not even a single person has come.

These people in the Ye family were secretly watching in their yards, knowing what was going on, but at this time, no one dared to speak out, so they could only let the old man stand alone in the yard and look at the big tree in the yard alone.

When it was nearly ten o'clock, a car finally drove outside, an old man over half a hundred years old, got out of the car, dressed in a gray old-fashioned suit, brown leather shoes, and meticulous cleaning up his hair, but there was no expression on his face, and he couldn't see any reaction to everything today, just strode in front of Ye Zhenghao and said very respectfully on his birthday.

The old man glanced at the visitor, smiled and nodded, his eyes slowly narrowed, and he handed the teapot to the visitor and said: "You are still the most intimate, you have come at this time for every year's birthday over the years, not early or late, never bring gifts, just come to congratulate." ”

"Actually, my Ye family has your place every year, but not outside, but inside, but you don't eat a meal here with me every year, stay this year!"

The person who came was Tan different, he would come every year, and he would leave with a congratulations every year like this year, but today he didn't plan to leave, obviously today's atmosphere was a little wrong, leaving at this time, he would not give Ye Zhenghao face.

"The water is cold, I'll change it for you!" Tan Wei nodded indifferently, without extra expressions, let alone superfluous words, and reached out to take the kettle in Ye Zhenghao's hand.

But Ye Zhenghao didn't seem to want him to leave, and he didn't want to change any water, so he reached out and pressed it on the kettle, shook his head lightly and said, "No need, today is a good day, you should drink, the more you drink this water, the colder it gets, it's as cold as your heart." ”

Tan Wei knew what Ye Zhenghao meant, he was saying that his heart was cold.

But people are like this, when you reigned in the world, everyone would slap you, but when you lose your power in one move, you will become a thousand people, scolded by thousands of people, and even someone will fall into the well at this time.

Ye Zhenghao is also so old, according to these things, he should be able to figure them out.

It's just that when it comes to this day, when it comes to the end, no one can be calm in their hearts.

An hour later, the sun has climbed to its highest point, the sun is shining on the body, and the sun is warm, this is the most comfortable time of the day in autumn.

Ye Zhenghao has been standing in the courtyard for six hours, his eyes slightly closed, feeling the rare warmth today.

"Brother, brother wishes you happiness like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan!"

It was already more than eleven o'clock, and the veterans of these companies were late, one by one with some simple gifts in their hands, put things on the table at the door, and strode inside, although there was a smile on their faces, but how much sincerity was in this smile, in fact, everyone knew it.

In the past, Ye Zhenghao would feel uncomfortable, and secretly wrote down these people, but now he doesn't have so many thoughts, just smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just called his son over and entertained these guests to sit down.

There was only one Tan Wei beside him, standing behind him expressionlessly, like a bodyguard who had not moved for ten thousand years.

And these people are also familiar with these two people, and when they see the appearance of these two people, they don't bother to say anything, they sit together in twos and threes, and talk about their own affairs in a whisper.

Peng Jiahe and Su Jinmao appeared in front of the Ye family's door together, with a thick gift in their hands, and walked in front of Ye Zhenghao as soon as they entered the door, bowed respectfully and said hello, and did this face kung fu very completely.

These people who were sitting in the courtyard before, when they saw that the two descendants of the Peng family and the Su family had already attended, they couldn't sit still in the university, so they hurriedly stood up.

It's just that these two people didn't pay attention to their meaning, and after greeting Ye Zhenghao, they walked to the table on the side and sat down, almost without even looking at these elders of the Ye Group.

Everyone has no choice, after all, they are the future patriarchs of the big family, and they are just a disciple of the sky.

There is really some kind of origin, maybe people will say a few words to him, and those who are not related can only sit on the side and chat in a low voice.

Soon, Ye Zhenghao's eldest son finally appeared, and the people who came today seemed to know that today's protagonist was not Ye Zhenghao, but Ye Zhenghao's eldest son Ye Tong.

Today's drama is actually the split of the Ye family, from today onwards, Ye Zhenghao's history has turned a page, and Ye Tong will replace him.

Although Ye Zhenghao is Ye Tong's biological father, the relationship between these two people can actually be seen with long eyes.

As soon as Ye Tong entered the door, the elders who were sitting on the side stood up one after another and crowded around him, with a feeling of being in a yellow robe.

And Ye Ke, who has been following Ye Zhenghao's side, saw this scene, and his eyes were desperate, but he also knew that he would not have anything to do with that position in his life.

But he was still very angry in his heart, gritted his teeth and muttered quietly, but this muttering seemed to be heard by Ye Zhenghao, and he turned around and glared at him.

"Father, I wish you a long and healthy life. Ye Tong arrived directly, and he didn't bring anything when he came, he walked in front of Ye Zhenghao, knelt directly in front of Ye Zhenghao with his knees bent, and knocked his head on the ground.

Ye Ke watched from the side, snorted disdainfully, and rolled his eyes.

But Ye Zhenghao was very useful to this, put down the teapot in his hand, put his hands trembling on Ye Tong's shoulders, and nodded to him.

Ye Tong's father was something he had never heard for many years, and this birthday gift was more valuable than anything else in his opinion.

"Have these people taken it down?" Ye Zhenghao picked up Ye Tong and whispered in his ear: "These old things, I can support you today, I can use them, but don't believe them, you must hold them in your hands, you can't do it without their handles, everything is prepared for you, you go back to my house to get it!"

Ye Tong didn't expect Ye Zhenghao to say such a sentence to him in the end, he thought that Ye Zhenghao would not give him a good face today, but he really didn't expect that the result would be such a sentence.

"Dad, it's almost time, and no one will come, let's rest for a while, you've been standing all morning!" Ye Ke really couldn't listen to it anymore, he didn't want to think so much about his father's preference for Ye Tong, he couldn't even stand up at this time, he just wanted to find a place to sit down and rest quickly.

But Ye Zhenghao glanced outside the gate, with expectation in his eyes, and said softly: "There is still someone who has not arrived, he will definitely come today, I believe he will come, I have to wait for him here." ”

As he was talking, Ding Fan appeared, holding a big box in his hand, and after entering the door, he didn't put down the things in his hand, and walked directly in front of Ye Zhenghao, and then put the box on the table with a smile, bowed to Ye Zhenghao with a respectful face and said: "Special Case Operations Department Officer, I wish Mr. Ye a smile and a happy family forever!"

Everyone around knows what the relationship between Ye Zhenghao and Ding Fan is, and when he comes to the door at this time, I'm afraid this old man will have a black face.

But no one expected that the moment he saw Ding Fan, Ye Zhenghao actually laughed, waved his hand and told Ye Ke to close the door and prepare to serve.

Then he said with a smile: "I knew that you would definitely come, but I didn't expect you to bring me a gift, the old man became your love, and thanked you first." ”
