Over there, Meng Xiangwei was already surrounded by Meng Yuejin, Chang Mengqin, and several of Meng Shuang's aunts and uncles to the T-shaped catwalk with a red carpet at the top of the hall. After everyone stood still, the hotel waiter immediately sent a microphone.

Meng Yuejin took the microphone from the waiter, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Today is the 70th birthday of my father Meng Xiangwei, first of all, on behalf of the whole family, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to the relatives and friends who came to celebrate my father's birthday!"

The relatives and friends below immediately applauded warmly.

On the 70th birthday of the father or mother, the eldest son briefly reviews the life experience of the father or mother, which is also one of the rules of Nanshan City. Meng Xiangwei is naturally no exception. After everyone's applause subsided, he took the microphone and continued: "My father was born on the twenty-sixth day of the tenth lunar month in 1923 in the Mengyi family of Mengzhuang Village, Huanghe Township, with two sisters and one brother, and four sisters and brothers. The vicissitudes of life, the father and parents died when they were young, and the four sisters and brothers flew separately. My father grew up alone in his uncle's family, and later worked at the Nanshan Cultural Bureau. Over the past few decades, my father has been an upright and upright person, working hard, being diligent and thrifty, following the example of his ancestors, giving birth to children and teaching well, and raising my four brothers and sisters to start a family together with my mother.

Seventy years of vicissitudes of life and hardships.

Seventy years of life, full of ups and downs.

As a father, he has no regrets; as children, we have nothing to repay, hating the ruthlessness of the years and not being able to add more darkness to our father, and doing this celebration shows filial piety.

Thank you, dear Father. Thank you for raising us, as children, we will always love you, and may you never grow old. Shoubi Nanshan!"

As the deputy head of the Nanshan Yu Opera Troupe, Meng Xiangwei still has a bit of a speech level, and after he spoke impassionedly, he led his younger brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law to bow to Meng Xiangwei and thank his father Meng Xiangwei for his nurturing grace.

Then an old man wearing a Tang costume with a crane boy face walked up, and Bao Feiyang looked at the old man's dress below, and he should have specially invited the master of ceremonies. Sure enough, the old man came to the stage and took the microphone, asked in a low voice, and when he saw Meng Xiangwei nodding, he began to speak.

Don't look at the old emcee's age. But it's still like a bell. The depth of Zhongqi. is not even inferior to Gao Yimin, the head of the Yu Opera Troupe.

"Dear Friends and Family,

Today, we gather together to celebrate Mr. Meng's 70th birthday. Commissioned by his eldest son. I have the honor to be the host of this grand ceremony, let me first wish Mr. Meng with you: happiness and the sea, longevity and heaven!"

"I wish Meng Laofu the same sea, longevity and heaven!" Under the leadership of Gao Yimin, everyone shouted in unison.

The old master of ceremonies said again: "At the beginning of the celebration below, Mr. Meng is invited to sit in the Shoutang." ”

Under the guidance of his eldest son, Meng Yuejin, Meng Xiangwei walked to the chair covered with red cloth and slowly sat down.

Then the master of ceremonies started the second procedure: he invited his eldest granddaughter, Miss Meng Shuang, to present flowers to the old birthday star.

Seeing Meng Shuang appear in front of everyone with flowers in her hand, she first swept her eyes into the crowd and found Bao Feiyang's face. smiled sweetly at Bao Feiyang, and then came to Meng Xiangwei briskly, presented a large bouquet of flowers in his hand to Meng Xiangwei, and said: "Grandpa, granddaughter Meng Shuang wishes you a happy birthday, eternal health, and a long life!"

"Okay, good!" Meng Xiangwei took the flowers handed over by Meng Shuang in his hand, and smiled from ear to ear, "Grandpa also wishes you a successful career and happiness forever!"

Bao Feiyang looked at Meng Shuang's lively and loving appearance in the audience, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Meng Shuang retreated after offering flowers, and the master of ceremonies shouted again: "Next, please ask the relatives of the old birthday star and younger generations to come forward to pay their respects." ”

According to reason, at this time, Bao Feiyang was the first to go up to pay tribute to Meng Xiangwei's birthday, because Meng Shuang is the eldest granddaughter, and he is Meng Shuang's boyfriend, so naturally he should be the first. However, there is still one point, that is, Chang Mengqin has always opposed Meng Shuang's relationship with him before, and did not recognize Bao Feiyang's identity as a quasi-son-in-law. Bao Feiyang is really not sure whether he should be the first to stand up.

Just when Bao Feiyang hesitated slightly, a person had already come to the stage with a gift, and in the midst of everyone's surprise, Bao Feiyang saw that this person turned out to be Chen Zhiguo. Bao Feiyang's eyes couldn't help but narrow, this Chen Zhiguo really didn't know the size of his face, and he dared to be the first to step forward to pay tribute to Meng Xiangwei.

Seeing Chen Zhiguo stand up, everyone in the hall was also embarrassed, and many relatives of the Meng family who couldn't figure it out were already asking who this young man who was the first to go up to give Meng Xiangwei a birthday gift.

"The younger generation Chen Zhiguo came to pay tribute to Grandpa Meng's birthday, wishing Grandpa Meng a long life and a long smile. In order to better show the difference of his birthday gift, Chen Zhiguo also deliberately removed the beautifully packaged gift box, and directly held the golden Buddha statue inside to the stage.

The old master of ceremonies stood next to Meng Xiangwei, and when he saw the golden Buddha in Chen Zhiguo's hand, he couldn't help but take a step forward, staring at the golden birthday gift with bright eyes. He is a well-known master of ceremonies for birthday banquets in Nanshan City, and he presides over nearly 100 birthday banquets every year, but he has never seen anyone give such a valuable birthday gift at a birthday banquet. If his old eyes are not mistaken, this Buddha statue should be made of real gold throughout, and it is a real golden Buddha!

The people in the audience also sighed one after another, marveling at the young man's generosity.

"This is the Golden Buddha!! obediently, this Golden Buddha has to be worth 10,000 yuan, right?" Bao Feiyang's side, there was a middle-aged woman sighing and envious. It seems to be to buckle down the eyeballs to identify the authenticity of the real Buddha.

You don't know that the price of gold in the market is more than 70 per gram, and the golden Buddha is more than 20 centimeters high, and it must be a kilogram to say the least, so you can calculate how much it is. Not to mention the manual cost of being built by masters. A man in his forties said disdainfully.

"You said you wanted more than 70,000 yuan? Niangli, don't print money at this young man's house, it cost more than 70,000 yuan to give a birthday gift?" Hearing the man rob herself, the middle-aged woman not only did not get angry, but continued to sigh for Chen Zhiguo's generous move.

Bao Feiyang knew that this golden Buddha should not be solid, but just a hollow Buddha statue, far less than a kilogram in weight, so it is still an exaggeration to say that it is worth 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. However, it is worth one or two thousand, and there are always some. It seems that this Chen Zhiguo really chased Meng Shuang with blood! It's a pity that the person Meng Shuang loves is himself, not to mention that Chen Zhiguo got a 20-centimeter Golden Buddha, even if he went to the Golden Buddha Temple in Thailand to get the world's largest golden Buddha, Meng Shuang would not be tempted.

"Who is this?" Meng Xiangwei saw that the first person to come to the stage was a young man with a face, not Bao Feiyang, who came to the house with the cool girl as he imagined, and this young man with a face was holding a golden Buddha regardless of the etiquette, and he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, so he turned his head and asked the people standing beside him.

Chang Mengqin didn't expect Chen Zhiguo to be so bold and be the first to rush up to give Meng Xiangwei a birthday gift. But now that Chen Zhiguo has come up, he can't help but come out to play this round, after all, Chen Zhiguo did this because of his previous encouragement, and the young man is also sincere to Meng Shuang, otherwise he would not have prepared such a valuable gift to pay homage to his birthday. If she didn't come forward to play this round, Meng Shuang's dead girl would definitely not come out. In this way, wouldn't it make Chen Zhiguo fall into an embarrassing end? Even if she didn't say anything else, just after saying it, would she Chang Mengqin still want to work in the Electric Power Bureau? If Chen Dongming knew that his son Chen Zhiguo had come with good intentions but suffered a lot of embarrassment, then his mouth would be crooked, how could he be able to bear it as an accountant of the Finance Department of the Electric Power Bureau?

"Dad, this is the child of Chen Dongming, director of the Nanshan Electric Power Bureau, and Chen Zhiguo, the general manager of the sales department of Nanshan Long March Cable Factory. Chang Mengqin cried bitterly in her heart, but she had to say to Meng Xiangwei with a smile on her face.

"Xiao Shuang's classmates?" Meng Xiangwei turned his head to look at Meng Shuang, but saw that Meng Shuang's face was so angry that he had already twisted to the side, and he didn't even want to look at Chen Zhiguo. Meng Xiangwei knew in his heart that this must be his daughter-in-law Chang Mengqin. However, after all, Meng Xiangwei is also a retired deputy director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau and knows the rules in officialdom. Since Chen Zhiguo in front of him is the child of Chen Dongming, the director of the Electric Power Bureau, he also has to give face, and he can't go too far. Otherwise, if you slap Chen Dongming in the face in front of so many people, you may have a mortal enmity with Chen Dongming's family.

So Meng Xiangwei smiled and nodded at Chen Zhiguo, and said, "Young man, thank you for coming over to congratulate my old man on his birthday." I have received your wishes, but I can't accept your gifts, so you can take them back. ”

"Grandpa Meng," Chen Zhiguo saw that Meng Xiangwei was not tempted by his golden Buddha, so he hurriedly said: "This Buddha statue is not an ordinary golden Buddha, but a golden Buddha of the Ming Dynasty." I heard Aunt Chang say that you always love antiquities collection, so I specially brought you back from the antique market in Luobin City. ”

Luobin City and Xijing City are the two cities with the longest history in China, one is claimed to be the first in the country in terms of above-ground cultural relics, and the other is known as the first in the country in terms of underground cultural relics. Since the golden Buddha in Chen Zhiguo's hand is an antique from the Ming Dynasty that was retrieved from Luobin City, the value must be calculated separately. Everyone on the stage couldn't help but inhale.
