The old general smiled at the full number of children and grandchildren in front of him on crutches, including his children and the children of his late brother, the Jiang family was a big family, and everyone, both men and women, stood in a military posture.

"Salute!" the eldest son Jiang Chong gave an order, and everyone respectfully gave a military salute to the old general, moving in unison, without dragging mud and water at all.

As the eldest son, Jiang Weiguo is also in his seventies, and he has long passed the age of retirement, but the old general has been pressing him in the army.

"Okay, good, with the courage of my Jiang family's son, Lao Tzu has lived for a hundred years, which is enough, and he is worthy of the chairman and the commander after his death. Although the old general's words were a little trembling, they were full of spirit.

"Dad, what are you talking about, today is your birthday, don't say unlucky things. Jiang Weiguo said with some complaints.

After hearing this, the old general's eyes widened, "Hmph, what's the matter, Lao Tzu crawled out of the pile of dead people, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to go back?"

Jiang Weiguo was rushed by the old general, and suddenly died down, and the old general's mouthful of Lao Tzu caused the juniors behind him to laugh instead.

"What are you laughing at, don't laugh!" Jiang Weiguo was afraid of the old general, but it was not the turn of a group of juniors to laugh.

The Jiang family's birthday banquet officially kicked off.

The old general was also smiling when he saw the congratulatory crowd, although he had strict rules but was not rigid, it was impossible to live like on TV, in order to prove his patriotism, he lived a life of eating chaff or living a secluded life, who did not want his family to have a long history and get ahead, but all this is still based on what he said before, the people are supreme.

Some people love the country, that is, they are honest and honest all their lives, do not touch the smell of copper, only do things for the people, and do not touch the people in the slightest.

However, some people love the country, but they take it from the people for the people, and the hearts of the people are for themselves, and the people are rich and he is rich, and he is rich and the people are richer, because he and his family have this ability and belief.

Since the morning, people have been coming, almost all of the relatives of the Jiang family and people in the same village for half a day in the morning, and friends and social contacts are arranged in the afternoon and evening, and everyone who goes is to go to the inner courtyard to visit the old general, congratulate and then sit in the large courtyard outside.

Throughout the day, there was an endless stream of people coming to the entire Jiang family's old house, but Jiang Tianming was busy, after all, he was in charge of the current Jiang family group, so he never took time to sit down and rest in the morning, and took a group of brothers and sisters to receive guests directly at the gate of the old mansion.

"Isn't that guy on TV?"

"It's like a star. ”

"No, I think he's a director. ”

The villagers stood on the periphery as if they were lively, watching the big people enter the arena.

There are basically no vacant spaces in the whole village where you can park, and luxury cars are coming one after another.

The Chen family, the Zheng family, the Wu family, the Wang family, the Ma family, all the families that can be ranked in Nanzhou are all the heads of the families who come with heavy gifts, and almost every family has inextricable cooperation with the Jiang family.

When Zhou Yang was picked up by Ji Guangsheng, it was already evening, and he still asked for leave, otherwise he would have waited until after school to come back, and it was estimated that the banquet would not be in time.

"Xiaoyang, this way, come on. When Jiang Tianming saw Zhou Yang, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, unlike others, Jiang Tianming didn't have so many polite words, and walked into the Jiang family compound affectionately on Zhou Yang's shoulder.

"Huh, who is this person?" This is everyone's question, the people who can come to participate in the birthday are either rich or expensive, even if they can't call out their names, at least they are familiar, can the Jiang family be so enthusiastic, is it a big man?

I thought I was coming early, but after walking into the compound, Zhou Yang found that almost every one of the dozens of tables was almost full except for the first one, and at a glance, even if an otaku like Zhou Yang could recognize many celebrities, those powerful people here seemed to be no different from ordinary people, not as high as in the past, and any one could be a person.

Although the banquet is only in accordance with folk customs, not in large hotels, and the tables and chairs are only the style of ordinary people, no one dares to underestimate such a party and feast, and it is not sure which table is talking about hundreds of millions of projects.

In ancient times, there was a saying that the old house of the Jiang family was almost completely built in accordance with the ancient ritual design, first the gate and then the courtyard, the first row of rooms in the courtyard was the hall, and finally the inner courtyard.

"Who is that person, why is Jiang Tianming so enthusiastic about him?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, it doesn't seem to be very old. ”

"Maybe it's a high-level kid. ”

"Not necessarily, there are still few high-level children who came today? You didn't see the sons of a few big leaders over there? I didn't see Jiang Tianming so enthusiastic when I came. ”

"Could it be someone from the north?"

"This is not good...."The group of powerful people who were already sitting in the seat exchanged their heads and discussed, and they had already guessed Zhou Yang's identity without a score.

Ma Ye sat at one of the tables with his father Ma Shennian in a distraught, his originally handsome face was sad, and if he looked closely, he could see that two vertical and horizontal scars appeared on his forehead, almost breaking the phase, and he didn't know how to survive these days.

He was originally a rich man, he wanted money and power, how could he expect to encounter such a killing god, he himself knew how much damage was caused by the last incident, Hong Wenzheng's matter was still waiting to be announced, and because he and the Jiang family seemed to have some contradictions.

He has been reluctant to go out at home since his injury, and although his father has completed the transfer procedures for him, he has never been willing to appear in front of everyone with this face, and he does not understand why his father insisted on bringing him here today.

The appearance that he was originally proud of has become an alternative in the eyes of others, of course, it doesn't take much to do plastic surgery with the strength of his Ma family, Ma Shennian is also preparing to wait for the Jiang family's affairs to end and send his son abroad, and when the time comes, he will come back and be a better looking than Pan An.

The depressed Young Master Ma was staring at the front in a daze, suddenly, a figure came into view, Ma Ye suddenly felt short of breath, his brain was blank, he wanted to get up and leave but didn't dare to move, for fear of attracting the attention of that person, it seemed that he was extremely scared, after all, he was only a young man less than twenty years old.

Ma Shennian, who was chatting with someone, also noticed his son's strangeness.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ye?" Ma Shennian looked at Ma Ye's gaze with confidence, although he had seen Zhou Yang from the photo, he was still a little different from himself.

"Zhou... Zhou. Zhou Yang: "Ma Ye said so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Ma Shennian's eyes shrank after hearing this, and he stared at the past again, and it was Zhou Yang who was with Jiang Tianming! The relationship between the two was really not ordinary.

"Xiao Ye, look up at me!" Ma Shennian's voice couldn't help but be much more serious, and his heart was filled with anger mixed with heartache, because of Zhou Yang's incident last time, his son changed from a sunny boy to this appearance, he didn't think that he might meet Zhou Yang here, but escape is not a way, which successful person does not grow up in adversity, he also perceives that the shadow in his son's heart is very deep, but if he doesn't face it, how can he break it, he insists on bringing Ma Ye over without such an idea.

"Xiao Ye, I have taught you since you were a child, escaping is a sign of cowardice, and the efforts of several generations of my Ma family will fall on you in the future, and only by changing fear into courage and motivation can you truly grow. ”

But no matter how Ma Shennian persuaded him, Ma Ye would not raise his head even if he died.

Then Ma Shennian sighed heavily, "Xiao Ye, it was my fault in the past, I was too negligent, I spoiled you too much, and let you become what you are now, what is this blow, and you still have to go by yourself in the future." ”

Hearing this, Ma Ye slowly looked up at his father, who knew that his father, who had always been resolute, had tears in his eyes.

"Dad.." Ma Ye's lips trembled, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, his father had never told him these words, he grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, where did he know the world of adults, thinking that if he had money, he had everything and could do anything, but Zhou Yang's appearance shattered his dream like this.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll cheer up. Then, Ma Ye's gaze gradually became firm, and he no longer flinched.

Ma Shennian saw that his heart was put in his stomach, this time the Jiang family came to the value, no matter how much he lost, he could accept it, but he couldn't watch his son sink.

On the other side, Zhou Yang was taken all the way from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard by Jiang Tianming in the eyes of everyone.

The inner courtyard was much cleaner, with only a dozen people, and among them was an old man with white hair who was surrounded by everyone, and was amused by his children and grandchildren for a while.

The people in the inner courtyard were even more curious when they saw Zhou Yang coming in, they were all the real core figures of the Jiang family, almost everyone who was related to the Jiang family knew each other, and a stranger came in rashly, with an average appearance and average dress, or Jiang Tianming personally accompanied, and couldn't help but look at each other and wonder.

"Xiaoyang, this is my grandfather, today is his 100th birthday. Jiang Tianming's words rang in his ears.

The old general happily watched Jiang Tianming come in with a young man, among the third generation of descendants, he was most optimistic about Jiang Tianming, Jiang Tianming had never disappointed the old general, no matter in any aspect, Jiang Tianming was the existence that the younger generation looked up to.

"Grandpa, this is my good friend, Zhou Yang. Jiang Tianming came to the old general's ear again to introduce Zhou Yang's identity.

Zhou Yang came to the old man without humility or arrogance, and bowed deeply respectfully, "I wish grandpa good health, happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan Baohuaxia." This is a word that Zhou Yang has thought of a long time ago, the other party is a leader of the older generation, and he has been worried about the country for almost his whole life.

"Okay, good, good, the little doll said it so well, said Lao Tzu's heart is gone, I can't wait to live a few more years, so that the ghost will not dare to attack!" The old general listened to Zhou Yang's words very pleasantly, and excitedly stood up on crutches, and waved his big hand quite imposingly.
