'Johnny, follow the big brother outside to pick up the guests! Xiaoxiao also came in, looking at her grandparents, ouch, Meiling, you can help watch the kitchen in the back. Jiaxin, you are a distinguished guest, as long as there are servants to do these jobs, can you and Fang Yu take those children to the next room to rest......"

The busiest person in the family is not others, but Jiang Xiufu, even her future son-in-law Lin Jialiang was sent out to welcome guests, if it wasn't for the fear of making it too ugly, she couldn't wait to drive the third-generation men of the Jiang family into the house and lock them up. It's just that Jiang Hailan took a few small characters to greet guests outside, and she could only wave her flag and shout in the house, pushing her son and prospective son-in-law forward.

Murong Xianxian couldn't ask for it, originally she wasn't interested in this kind of thing, but now she is happy to talk to Xiaoxiao with her grandmother and grandfather Since talking by the stream that day, the two of them seem to have a lot to talk about, Murong Xianxian learned from Zhu Guoen and the interesting things when she lived with her mother, but she concealed the inheritance of the Great Witch.

Some people say that "the past is unbearable", but this is only for those who are so-called "unfortunate". Maybe for others, the lives of the Murong Xianxian siblings and Jiang Xiuhe in those years were poor and painful, but for their family of three, poverty is real, but it is not painful, whenever they recall the broken days, the corners of Murong Xianxian's mouth and eyes always show a smile.

"Do you really feel very happy?" Jiang Caijing couldn't help but ask.

"Everyone's definition of happiness is different, and even at different stages of life, the standard of happiness is different. In my recollection, only the time when my mother died was painful. Murong Xianxian did not answer positively.

"What kind of answer is this?" Jiang Caijing was obviously not satisfied with this somewhat mysterious answer.

"There is an old saying in China"

Mrs. Jiang stroked Jiang Caijing's soft hair: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own kennel, and a place with a home is a happy place." ”

The old lady looked at Jiang Heping when she spoke, and the old man made a nasal voice: "I'm not an old feudal, so you don't need to look at me like that." "Of course you are not an old feudal" The old lady said with a smile, and when she saw that the old man's face was good, she added: "You are just an old elm pimple who does not open his mind." ”

The old man's face suddenly lengthened: "Today is my birthday, are you disgusting me?" "Okay, don't say it." The old lady waved her hand: "Xian Xian, do you really want to go back?"

"Well, when I take Xiaoxiao to see a doctor, we'll go back. Murong Xianxian nodded seriously.

The old lady nodded, but there was reluctance in her eyes that could not be concealed: "The child is older, he has his own ideas, and grandma will not stop him, but there is an old saying in the country, the elders give it, and they dare not resign, do you know?" Murong Xianxian nodded.

The old lady took out a rosewood box from a cabinet at the head of the bed: "This was originally intended for your mother" Her hand rubbed lightly on the lid of the box, and a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes: "It's a pity that she didn't use it, and now I give it to you, don't say no, grandma will be sad." "Grandma. ”

The words have already been said at this point, Murong Xianxian had to take it and her hands sank slightly, this box is really not light, I don't know what it contains, the box itself is already a lot of money.

"Take it well, this is your grandmother's heart. The old man sighed, took out a brocade box from his pocket and handed it to Murong Xianxian: "This is grandpa's intention." You don't watch people receive gifts, do you?"

Yes, it doesn't seem wrong to take the old lady's things but not the old man's things. She had no choice but to take it, muttering in her mouth: "Today is grandpa's birthday, why is it that I accept the gift?" "Silly boy, you are here, it is the best gift for grandpa and grandma1" The old lady took Murong Xianxian's hand and smiled.

"Grandma and grandpa are so partial, why don't they have a small gift?" Jiang Caijing hugged on the side.

"Absolutely. ”

Jiang Heping put a string of bracelets on his small wrist: "This is the dzi bracelet I went to Tibet to ask for, and it is a magic weapon that has been blessed by a living Buddha for 30 years. (This artifact has nothing to do with the magic weapon)

After being blessed by a living Buddha for thirty years, Murong Xianxian didn't know much about what a dzi was, but she still knew how precious it should be to be blessed by a living Buddha for thirty years.

"Xiaoxiao, thank you grandpa. ”

Rejection is inappropriate, and the artifacts that come out of Buddhism are beneficial to the small.

"Thank you, grandpa. ”

Xiaoxiao lowered his head and held a small TV, and continued to watch his cartoons.

"Xian Xian, what gift does grandpa give you?" Jiang Caijing instigated.

Murong Xianxian looked up at Jiang Heping, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he ripped open the ribbon on the box and found the box...... A beautiful diamond watch for women.

"Wow, it's beautiful, it's Patek Philippe's latest!" Jiang Caijing's eyes sparkled like the diamonds on the dial.

"Isn't that one in your hand too?" Murong Xianxian had vaguely heard this brand, as if it was a famous Swiss watch.

"Then how can it be compared? one is an aunt-level antique, and the other is a freshly baked chick, envious, jealous and hateful!" Jiang Caijing covered her eyes with her hands, and everyone laughed.

"Slim, put it on. The old lady winked at Murong Xianxian.

"Yes. Murong Xian understood and put the watch on his wrist, and sure enough, Jiang Heping's old eyes showed a smile of relief.

"Wow! this watch matches your skin so well!"

Jiang Caiyang stopped her hand and looked left and right, her expression was a little exaggerated: "Xian Xian, your skin is so good for Shenma? I have never seen what skin care products you use, shouldn't you use them quietly?" "Eat well, sleep well, and be in a good mood, your skin will naturally be good." Murong Xianxian quietly withdrew his hand.

"Eat well, sleep well, be in a good mood... I don't think you're talking about pigs, but I don't see how good their skin is, they're all stupid and coarse. ”

Jiang Caijing pursed her lips, and everyone laughed.

From more than nine o'clock in the morning, the guests came one after another, first some old people in the town, the Jiang family has lived here for several generations, and many old people in the town are playmates who grew up with Jiang Heping back then. There are also some former associations, and now they have been diverted out, although there is no intersection in their careers, but there is still a certain amount of incense, but most of them leave after sending posts and gifts.

Although it is said that the old man's body is not hot, but he will feel tired when he receives guests continuously, so most of the guests are Jiang Haifeng who is responsible for accompanying him, and he is now the quasi-helmsman of the Jiang family, and it is natural for him to show up for these affairs.

Jiang Heping also came out to accompany a few old friends, his spirit was very good, wearing the kind of traditional clothes of the Chinese country, with three birthday characters on them, looking very festive, Murong Xianxian felt that it would be more appropriate to add a melon skin hat.

Because there are many guests, most of the guests were led to the courtyard by the little brothers of the Jiang family after coming in to say hello to the old man, and today there are also more than 30 tables in the courtyard, and those who remain in the house are some old people.

Jiang Caijing went out for a walk, came back and bit Murong Xian's ear and said, if there are robbers who come to kidnap hostages now, it will be no problem to buy a certain island country in Asia for ransom.

Murong Xianxian rolled her eyes, it's no problem to buy an island country, but the creatures on it are too cheap, and it is a troublesome job to clear them, if you think about what "actual control", and so on, it is not enough to worry about buying such an island country.

However, as Jiang Caijing said, most of the people who came had status, and the Jiang brothers pulled the younger generation to chat with them, just waiting for the birthday banquet to begin, which is actually a relay activity, and Jiang Heping wants to use this way to transition the connections accumulated by the Jiang family over the years to the second and third generations of the Jiang family.

Murong Xianxian doesn't care about these, her task is to accompany the old lady and the old birthday star, even Jiang Caijing has to go out from time to time to greet people, she and Xiaoxiao sit quietly next to the old lady, when no one comes to greet her, she talks softly, and when there are people, she consciously keeps quiet, and whenever this time, the two old people always have to introduce Murong Xianxian again, and the result is that countless inquiring eyes look at their sister and brother, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

At noon, the birthday banquet officially began, and there were more than a dozen tables in the living room, in the middle of the position, there was a big birthday word, the old birthday star sat on the chair in the middle, like an emperor ready to accept the congratulations of the ministers, but...

Why is the chair next to it empty?

According to the normal procedure, of course, it was the younger generation of the family who gave birthday gifts to the old birthday star, but the old lady next to him was not there, and Jiang Haifeng, who was the second-generation leader of the Jiang family, was a little anxious, and was about to send someone to find the old lady, but saw Murong Xianxian and the special guardian pushing the old lady over.

"Mom, where have you been?" Jiang Haifeng asked softly, and was about to send the old lady to her seat.

The old lady smiled and waved her hand: "No need for you, today is your father's seventieth birthday, and I will also give your father a big gift." ”

It is also reasonable for the old lady to give her wife a big gift, and everyone is curious to see what gift the old lady is going to give.

"Ah Ping, I wish you good fortune like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan!" the old lady said softly, her face full of smiles, and her hands on the armrests of the wheelchair seemed to get up.

"Arlene 1" Jiang Heping's eyes were a little moist, seeing that his wife seemed to be about to stand up, he couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly got up to go over to help, but his body didn't completely straighten up, as if he had been hit by the fixation technique, he stopped, and looked dumbfounded.

"Ah~" Those guests who are familiar with the Jiang family, especially those juniors of the Jiang family, have their eyes staring out, and there are a few daughters-in-law who have always appeared in front of people as noblewomen, and they are also very unladylike at this time, with their mouths wide open, and their faces are full of disbelief.
