Chapter 58: August 15th Birthday
The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 is a day of family reunion.
And it just so happened that this day was Banyuanjun's grandfather's birthday.
Therefore, on this day every year, the family gathers at Liu Daniu's house, which has been a tradition for many years.
After breakfast, Banyuanjun's family went out.
After getting along for the past few days, the three puppies brought back by Banyuanjun have become familiar with the environment in the home.
The three puppies are very smart, and under Ban Xiaoxiao's training, they already know how to pull the baba on the newspaper on the balcony.
However, today it's time to separate, except for the puppy that looks like a red panda and was finally named Little Bear by Ban Xiaoxiao, the remaining two were reluctantly packed in a cardboard box by Ban Xiaoxiao, planning to take it to her grandfather.
Before leaving, after Ban Xiaoxiao prepared food and water for the little bear, the family went out.
In the mall, after meeting Wang Dazhuang and his parents, the group went to the mall to buy meat and fruits.
The old man is born once a year, this is also the time for children to do their filial piety, every year on this day, Liu Mei and Liu Lan will cut some meat, buy some fruit to celebrate Liu Daniu's birthday, and the family will make a dumpling to eat at noon.
When it was time to leave, each person would give Liu Daniu two hundred yuan.
It's just that Liu Daniu saved the filial piety of his children during the New Year's holidays, and he said that in the future, when his grandchildren grow up and marry a daughter-in-law, he will seal a big red envelope.
Liu Daniu's home is not far away, it is in Dongcheng.
The former Dongcheng belongs to the suburbs.
However, with the development of the city, Dongcheng has been designated as a key development area.
In this way, Liu Daniu's tiled houses, plus pigsties, cowsheds and so on, suddenly became valuable.
Especially after the high-rise buildings were built on his left and right, and behind him, his prime location closest to the roadside became hot.
You must know that after Liu Daniu returned from the front line, the government treated such retired officers and soldiers with outstanding military achievements very favorably.
Liu Daniu did not have a house to live in after he returned, although the government could not build a house for him, but the land allocated was very spacious.
At that time, Liu Daniu's land was not valuable, but now, after appreciation, it has become a sky-high price.
In the past two years, Dongcheng Development has found countless developers who have found Liu Daniu, the highest, this piece of land has even reached 50 million, and a set of buildings and a façade are given away after the development.
But Liu Daniu always believes that this is the land that the government gave him to live in, not for him to trade, when he is alive, he has to live, unless after death, he can't take care of it, and his children can do what they want to do with it at that time.
Although the developers also used their crooked brains, but after inquiring, they learned that Liu Daniu had made great achievements during the previous war, and after the war, he didn't want officials or money, and ran back to his hometown to be an ordinary person to build the motherland.
You must know that those brothers who were born and died with Liu Daniu at the beginning are now several generals alone.
Whoever dares to use crooked brains against Liu Daniu has to weigh his strength no matter what.
The hard ones can't be done, and those developers have also wanted to come to the soft ones.
But if Liu Daniu was greedy for wealth and wealth, he would not have given up on being a high-ranking official and running back to build the motherland as an ordinary person.
And his daughters will not marry a foot merchant, a teacher, or someone else.
Later, those developers saw that Liu Daniu was really soft and hard, so they had to find his eldest daughter Liu Ju's family and wanted to start from them.
At that time, Liu Ju's family had not interacted with Liu Daniu for several years, and suddenly heard that Liu Daniu's house was worth tens of millions, and his mind suddenly became active.
Liu Daniu has no sons, only three daughters.
And she, Liu Ju, is the eldest daughter, and when Liu Daniu dies, won't the house belong to her.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Ju suddenly ran back this year, bought food and bought food for Liu Daniu, and said that he had no time to come back to see his old man because he was busy with business a few years ago.
Liu Daniu is not stupid, of course he knows what his eldest daughter is thinking, but after all, this is his own daughter, what else can he do, he can only choose to forgive.
And Liu Ju's husband is a businessman after all, and under the influence of words and eyes, she has too many means to please people.
No, when Banyuanjun and the others came to Liu Daniu's house, Liu Ju's car had already stopped in the yard.
And Liu Ju's family was standing in the courtyard talking to Liu Daniu.
Wang Badao, on the other hand, was playing with a half-human-tall dog in the yard.
"Dad, this is the husky, people say that the husky is the smartest and most kind breed of dogs, the domineering heard that your dog died, this holiday did not go to play, deliberately became a tutor for a month, earned money to help you buy a husky, this dog can cost more than 6,000 it, like what dog license, breed certificate, pedigree certificate are complete, this is a domineering filial piety to you!" Liu Ju's voice can be heard from more than ten meters away.
Banyuanjun heard Liu Ju say that huskies are the smartest breed among dogs, and he almost squirted out a mouthful of water.
Isn't the husky called Erha? From this name, you can see how many two it is, does it mean that the husky in this world is not the same as the one on earth?
And Liu Daniu listened to Liu Ju's words, and couldn't help but exclaim: "More than 6,000 dogs, this is enough for me to buy two cows!"
Just when Liu Ju wanted to say something, Banyuanjun and the others also arrived.
"Dad (Grandpa), I wish you a happy birthday!" everyone said in unison as they entered the courtyard.
And Liu Daniu hurriedly stepped forward to bring the things everyone brought.
Wang Ba said that the husky he brought was not afraid when he saw the living people, but ran over and turned in circles.
Huskies look like wolves and are so tall, there are very few people in a small place like GS, and Liu Mei has never heard of this kind of dog.
So, as soon as I saw this half-human-tall dog coming, I was immediately startled.
Banyuanjun took a step forward, protected Liu Mei and Ban Xiaoxiao, and said to Wang Ba: "Don't you know how to tie a leash for a large dog?"
And Liu Ju listened to Banyuanjun's words, and immediately laughed disdainfully and said: "You know that you have little knowledge as soon as you say it, this is a husky, it never bites, it is the smartest dog, it scares you!"
Banyuanjun's face turned blue and said, "You don't care if it scares my mother?"
"It doesn't bite, what does it do?" Liu Ju rolled her eyes and said.
Hearing this, Banyuanjun took a deep breath, then suddenly took a step forward, opened his hands, and shouted at the husky: "Get out!"
The husky was frightened by Banyuanjun's shout, and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Seeing that his dog was scared away by Banyuanjun, Wang Badao hurriedly roared: "You are sick, you scared me haha!"
Banyuanjun glanced at him, and Wang Badao immediately didn't dare to say anything, and ran to chase the dog.
Liu Daniu was dumbfounded when he saw this, and couldn't help but say: "Such an expensive dog is so scared that he doesn't even dare to fart, how can he watch the door!"
Liu Ju said with an embarrassed face: "Eh, it's better to be bold when it comes to the new environment, just train and train!"
After driving away the husky, Liu Mei and Ban Xiaoxiao relaxed.
Although Banyuanjun also believes that this husky will not bite, but such a big dog, running over, people who don't know this dog's habits will feel scared.
Many dog owners are like this, they feel that their dogs have good habits, do not bite, and do not even tie the leash when they go out to walk the dog.
But they never thought about what kind of dog they knew, but others didn't know, and it was easy to scare people without a leash.
Liu Ju, who was embarrassed, suddenly saw the cardboard box that Ban Xiaoxiao was hugging, her eyes lit up and said, "Xiaoxiao, what are you hugging?"
"Two puppies for my grandfather. Ban Xiaoxiao replied.
"Tut-tut!" Liu Ju walked over and shook his head and said, "What kind of dog is this, with miscellaneous hair and variegated color, which garbage heap did you pick it up from?"
"This is not a pick-up, my brother specially asked for it from his classmates, this dog is obedient, and he can watch the door when he grows up!" said Ban Xiaoxiao with some anger.
"Hey, this kind of little earth dog, and I specially asked for it from my classmates, and I don't want it when others give it to me, hey, your brother is really filial piety, grandpa has a life, and he casually runs to ask for two worthless little earth dogs, unlike my family, who has been a tutor for two months, and all the money he earns is to buy a dog for his grandfather!" Liu Ju said with a superior face.
Liu Daniu walked over and said to Liu Ju: "Okay, how old are you, and it's weird to talk to juniors." ”
Liu Ju pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Subsequently, Liu Daniu took the cardboard box of Ban Xiaoxiao's dog, picked up a puppy from it, looked at it back and forth, and said: "This dog can be, this is what I raised at home before, it is easy to raise, you can live if you stutter casually, and it is very good to watch the door when you grow up." “
Hearing Liu Daniu say this, Ban Xiaoxiao laughed happily.
After the group finished talking outside, they were about to enter the hall.
Wang Dazhuang hurriedly walked outside.
"Da Zhuang, why are you going?" Liu Da Niu shouted after looking back and seeing it.
"Grandpa, I'm going to the toilet, my stomach is uncomfortable!" Wang Dazhuang said.
"Then be careful, don't fall into the pit like you did when you were a child!" Liu Daniu said.
After saying that, a group of people laughed.
Because Liu Daniu's land used to belong to the suburbs, there were no sewers or anything like that.
And the toilet is also a very common thatched pit in the countryside.
An adobe house, with a pit dug in the back, flattened with cement, and two planks on top of it, on which to squat when it is convenient.
If you're not careful, it's easy to fall into the pit.
The reason why the lid is not made on it is because the vegetable fields need to be watered with manure every once in a while.
And every morning after getting up, pig manure or something has to be shoveled into the toilet and turned into fertilizer.
This kind of latrine has only been seen by friends who live in the countryside, and many people who grew up in the city have never even seen it.
This kind of toilet can easily fall into it if you are not careful.
Liu Mei told Banyuanjun when she was a child that when they were young, someone fell into a pit and drowned.
Wang Dazhuang accidentally fell into it when he was a child, but fortunately he was found early and was fished up.
But this incident later became a joke for Wang Dazhuang.
