Chapter 959: Dad's Proposal
readx;
The fiftieth birthday is not a big deal in the village, but because it is Zhang Niu's father, it is not the same, at least everyone looks at it differently. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Now Zhang Niu's name in the village is bigger than the village chief, just last year by planting colorful watermelons to earn a lot of money, those villagers, will Zhang Niu as the god of wealth to see, generations at home farming, want to make money by planting good crops, this is just a good wish, of course, do not rule out some accidental reasons.
At half past five, the whole village could hear the constant sound of firecrackers placed at the door.
This morning's night was a little hazy, so fireworks were released in the sky, and fireworks of various colors filled the sky above the entrance of the village.
Many people know that today is Zhang Suming's 50th birthday, and more than 2,000 fireworks and firecrackers have been set off at the door about 1,000.
The door was full of joy, a layer of red shredded paper had been spread on the ground, and the strong smell of firecrackers filled the entire doorway.
It took about half an hour just to set off the fireworks, and a lot of red firecracker scraps were hung on the jujube tree at the door.
Zhang Niu himself didn't think that setting off firecrackers and fireworks would have such a busy day, but seeing the smile on his father's face, this time it was definitely worth it, once in his life at the age of fifty, everyone likes to do it lively.
If you don't hold a birthday banquet at the age of forty, you will have a grand ceremony at the age of fifty, and this folk custom is absolutely recognized in Zhangjia Village.
Coming in from outside, Zhang Niu was about to help clean up the things on the table, so he drove Ye Zi away: "You big man is hairy, let me help." ”
And my mother even agreed, and I don't know when the two talked about going together.
Several places in the family were worshipped, and the rest was to go to the temple outside the village to worship.
Zhang Niu carried two baskets, which contained the things that were offered, but there were not as many as those at home, and Ye Zi also followed from behind.
Originally, Zhang Niu planned to go to the newly built temple, but because the distance was too far, he could only put it in this temple outside the village.
Here in this temple, Zhang Niu has been busy for a lot of time, after all, he has to burn more incense paper here, if not, it would not be very respectful.
Zhang Niu can only watch from this side, and at the same time put those fireworks outside, there is no danger outside this village, you can line up the fireworks and firecrackers, you don't have to be tied up like at home.
Setting off fireworks in the village, Zhang Niu was actually a little worried in his heart. After all, the houses in the village are old-fashioned, and it will be quite worrying to set off fireworks.
After grinding around the temple for more than half an hour, it was already six o'clock when I got home, and it was already dawn.
"Mom, you don't have to accept that red envelope today, and it will be effortless to send it back then." Zhang Niu drank gruel with his head buried in his head, and raised his head in confusion.
What kind of banquet is held in the village, relatives will send red envelopes, this red envelope is not received in vain, and some things will be sent back later, the village is basically towels and soap and even add some candy and the like.
On his father's birthday this year, Zhang Niu hates this trouble, and now he doesn't care about so much money, and he doesn't have to worry about how much people want to give.
"Xiaoyue, what my son said is right, we won't accept red envelopes this year." Zhang Suming agrees with his son's words, and he can hear people's congratulations when he goes out these days.
In the past, Zhang Suming didn't dare to imagine these situations, his family built a new house, and he would be very polite when he met him, which was brought by his own son.
"Son, today is my birthday, I want to have a meaningful birthday, since we don't accept red envelopes, but we can send something to those lonely old people in the village." Zhang Suming's face was a little solemn.
Your own dad will also think about this? Zhang Niu was really taken aback.
There are a lot of lonely and widowed old people in the village, Zhang Niu knows it, but how did his father mention this?
Zhang Xiaoyue smiled dryly and explained: "Son, this time on your father's birthday, you have become famous in the village again, are you taking advantage of your father's birthday to do good deeds." ”
Zhang Niu knew that his parents were kind, especially when he said these words, it seemed that he was still a little lacking in the affairs of the village, no wonder the boss would say this.
Today is my father's birthday, and it is not just about eating and drinking, but in fact, he has his own ideas.
Now that the family doesn't go to the fields much, my father has more free time, and he often walks around the village, and some things are estimated to be unbearable.
Zhangjia Village is not a wealthy village, and even if everyone wants to help with some things, they can't help them.
After a lifetime of hard work, in the end, even eating and drinking are problems, this is definitely a very unbearable thing, Zhang Niu has money in his pocket, and he can indeed do something beneficial to the village.
This time my dad brought it up, so I might as well surprise my dad.
"Uncle is right, now life is better, but there are always some lonely and widowed old people in the village, their lives are not guaranteed, we have opened a nursing home over there, and the village allocates how much every month, so that they can happily spend the last remaining days." Ye Zi didn't expect that Zhang Niu's father would say something so meaningful.
The village on Ye Zi's side cannot be compared with this side, relying on the village's funding? I guess it's still a long way off.
Zhang Suming also wanted to do his best, many of them helped their family back then, but when they got old, life became poor, and no one would help them, and their own families couldn't eat, so they could help them.
"Dad, don't worry about this matter, since you said it, I will help you solve it as a son." Zhang Niu directly agreed, there is a good saying, take it from the people, use it for the people.
Now that he has built a school, Zhang Niu doesn't care about building a small nursing home to take care of the lonely elderly in the village.
It can be said that this is a very meaningful thing, and it is most appropriate to give it to my father, and I can also consider letting my father supervise it, after all, my father is also idle now.
I had that thought in my heart and it was out of control, but I still had to wait until after my birthday.
Zhang Suming wanted to talk about this a long time ago, but he was worried about his son's disagreement, he didn't know how much money his son earned, but at the right time, it shouldn't be a problem to ask for some help, he never thought about these things in nursing homes.
With his father's proposal early in the morning, Zhang Niu's mood was even better.
At seven o'clock, several trucks drove over, and it was Wang Dequan who took the lead.
Wang Dequan didn't dare to have any friction, especially for this kind of thing, the chefs he found were quite good, and there were many people who helped.
Zhang Niu received the call and was at the entrance of the village.
I didn't know that Wang Dequan came to help today, and some people in the village also took the initiative to help, anyway, there are a lot of things to do today.
"Thank you for your hard work, so you rushed over early in the morning."
"What's the trouble, I'm glad I can help." Wang Dequan laughed: "I invited you later, I promise to satisfy you." ”
Wang Dequan and they came over for a while, and the people who bought the car behind also came back, and they set off before dawn, and now they can start when they come back.
Outside the Great Hall, a stir-fry table was set up again, and there were busy people everywhere, whether it was washing vegetables, or cutting vegetables and moving tables, Liang Shan also came down today, and the chef was going to come over to help.
At eight o'clock, my aunt came to help, and some aunts and aunts came over.
The house is lively, Zhang Niu is running around, the first time to do this thing, there is always a little rush.
"Zhang Niu, what's wrong with you, you don't accept a little thought? Isn't that too much of an outlier? ”
Zhang Shan asked about this when he saw Zhang Niu, and came over in the morning to hand over the red envelope, but told him that he would not accept the red envelope this time, which made Zhang Shan very depressed, this was singing that play.
Zhang Niu said with a smile: "It's nothing more than inviting everyone to have a meal, what is the cost, it's not easy for everyone to make money, you say yes." ”
The reason is not very strong, but it means that they don't charge money for this banquet, and everyone can come over with a mouth.
Zhang Shan could only smile bitterly, it was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
Not accepting red envelopes is indeed a big surprise for everyone, but then I thought about it, now Zhang Niu has earned a lot of money, and not accepting red envelopes is also the meaning of the past, people don't want to earn that little red envelope money.
There are a lot of people who came over today, especially when it was close to noon, and it was a Saturday and Sunday, and there were not a few little hairy children in the village.
Children just love to drink soda, and if they don't plan to eat more, they are really worried that they won't eat enough.
At eleven o'clock, everyone walked to the Great Hall, and a table was set up, on which were already placed cold dishes, among which there were many melon seeds, such as pistachios, peach pits, these children's favorite food.
Zhang Niu and Zhang Suming beckoned everyone to sit down, a few tables have been put outside, it just so happens that today is not bad, it is a cloudy day, and there is no discomfort outside.
The fat man also came down at noon, this guy directly sent a few good cigarettes, this guy is also lazy, these cigarettes are very likely to be given to him.
Several cadres in the village were sitting at a table, and Zhang Suming was about to be busy entertaining, but Zhang Niu was pressed down.
Everything is in order here, so you might as well sit here and eat and drink with them.
Birthdays are nothing more than a lively one, everyone can eat and drink with an open stomach, and a steady stream of dishes will be served later.
Zhang Niu really wants to thank Wang Dequan for his help, the back of the stir-fry are good, although the place is simple, but it is very safe to do, and after the completion of the handover of a few red envelopes.
Luckily, it's not a hot day, otherwise they wouldn't be very comfortable today.
Speaking of which, today's weather is pretty good, and the comparison gives face.
