Chapter 86: Birthday Gift

Although the speed of eating in small bursts is still a little fast, it is completely different from when you are usually at home, fast at the same time, but without losing elegance.

The little guy's every move is an extremely standardized action, and it is the embodiment of etiquette, just like a little princess living in the folk!

At the same time, Hong Xiao also felt very strange that Xiao Diandian's parents were raising such a little monster.

Except for looking like a child, everything else is very different from a child.

Just talking about the etiquette at this table, it is too difficult for a child, especially a child who likes to eat, to eat so elegantly.

After all, it is difficult to imagine that children do not have such strong self-discipline and self-awareness, and they want to regulate themselves at all times.

At some point, her understanding of things is beyond the scope of a child's thinking.

Just like now, Hong Xiao didn't say anything to her, but she had already realized that she had to eat in another way.

Of course, it can also be a strong sense of self, and in crowded and formal settings, it is necessary to eat in this way.

However, the cultivation of this self-consciousness is even more difficult.

Old Man Zhou saw the small movements, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect such a small guy to do this.

But he didn't say anything, and continued to sandwich the dishes for the little guy, laughing with everyone from time to time, and the family was happy.

Halfway through the meal, everyone's words are getting more and more.

It's all a family, you can say a lot of things, and you don't have to care, but in addition to talking about homely things, Mr. Zhou doesn't say a word about the business topics that Zhou Yuanliang's three brothers talk about!

In this regard, everyone is also accustomed to it, since the moment the old man handed over the group to Zhou Yuanliang, he has rarely taken care of things, and even rarely expressed his opinions.

Old Man Zhou once said: "I have done enough, the rest depends on yourself, such a big country, whether to continue to expand the territory, or to keep forward, is your own way to go, even if one day, this country is destroyed, I will not say anything." ”

Old man Zhou was born in the military, with a stubborn temper and a resolute personality, and he almost never broke his word when he said it.

It is precisely his approach that the three brothers of the Zhou family are all business giants who can dominate one side, and Zhou Yuanliang is the representative.

Just when everyone was chatting happily, Hong Xiao became the only one who had no one to talk to him.

Everyone is unfamiliar with it, and there is nothing to say.

At the same time, Hong Xiao also found a problem, Zhou Yuanxin, the son of Zhou Yuanxin, the second eldest of the Zhou family, Zhou Haojun, seemed to have some thoughts about Yu Linglong, they sat not far away, Zhou Haojun always had nothing to say, and his eyes were a little hostile when he looked at him.

Hong Xiao clearly felt that just after Zhou Yuanliang introduced himself as Yu Linglong's boyfriend, there was a very unfriendly line in everyone's eyes, and now that he thinks about it, it should be him.

Hong Xiao didn't care, he ate his own, not to answer a question from Zhou Yuanliang's brothers, but he was also happy.

Originally, Hong Xiao still had a trace of interest in the family banquet of the big Chinese family, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, similar to that of foreign countries.

It's just that the language everyone speaks and eats is different.

Finally, when everyone had eaten about the same, the last thing began.

Give a birthday gift!

Although we are all a family, it is very good to be able to love each other, and it is still good to compare them if necessary.

The birthday gift given by everyone is also a heart to the old man, and at this point, the old man hopes that everyone can compare.

It's not that he is greedy for money, but he just enjoys the process, his children and grandchildren are full of children, competing for filial piety, what a happy thing this is, and the old man naturally can't avoid vulgarity.

According to the unwritten rules of the past, each of the four families will give a gift to represent the family's heart, and Yu Linglong will also have a special gift to represent her own heart.

But this time, the rules have changed, Zhou Yuanliang's generation, each family prepares a gift, and the children themselves will prepare gifts, and even Li Bo has a gift this time.

Everyone ran to get the gifts, leaving only Old Man Zhou, Li Bo, Zhou Yuanliang, the four siblings and Hong Xiao, dotted at the table.

Li Bo was the first to speak: "Old man, I have eaten and lived in the Zhou family all these years, and I haven't prepared anything for you, this time, I also prepared a gift for you, look at it, do you like it or not?" ”

Li Bo took out a small box from his bosom, and when he opened it, there was a pocket watch inside.

"It's ......"

Old Man Zhou took the pocket watch, looked at it again and again, was very surprised, and a little uncertain.

"That's right, it's the pocket watch back then." Li Bo said with a smile.

"This ...... Lao Li, where did you find this thing? ”

The old man looked at it carefully, and even put on reading glasses, and matched the row of numbers on the back of the pocket watch, which was certain!

"Lao Li, this ...... It's hard to find......"

"It's nothing, I just happened to meet it." Li Bo said lightly.

"Yes, yes!"

Old Man Zhou carefully put away the pocket watch with a happy face.

Except for Mr. Zhou and Li Bo, the others don't know what's going on, and there seems to be a story behind the pocket watch!

Lieber's first gift won a good start, and it was very pleasing to the old man.

Then, there is the best Zhou Qing, she is the only one who only has a part of the shares of the Brilliant Group and does not have any business operation in the Zhou family.

Zhou Qing's husband was holding a long box in his hand, and when he opened it, it was a painting.

Old man Zhou is old, and he also likes to collect some celebrity calligraphy and paintings, Zhou Qing obviously knows the preferences of the old father, so he chose this gift.

"Dad, this is a piece of Zhang Qian's calligraphy, which Mu Lin took a lot of effort to get, and used this calligraphy and painting to pay tribute to Dad's birthday."

"Is it Zhang Qian's work?" Zhou Yuanli was surprised.

Zhang Qian is one of the most famous contemporary painters and calligraphers, with a high reputation, and there are very few surviving works, which is very collectible!

"Good, good thing!"

It can be seen that the old man likes this word very much, but Zhang Qian's things are difficult to get, so he accepted it with a smile.

Next was Zhou Yuanli, his wife took out a square box, inside was a seal, which looked a few years old.

Flipping it over, Ma Yuan drove the seal.

It turned out to be Ma Yuanyu!

Ma Yuanyu, a painter of the Qing Dynasty, is known as Fuxi, Qixia, Tianyu Mountain, and is a frequent acquaintance in Jiangsu.

Its endowment is expanded, indulged in wine and reckless pen, it is beneficial and bold, and the sketch is passed on by Yun Shouping, and Jiang Tingxi discusses the six methods, so there is no bone painting and good work, and the charm is flying, and it is not informal.

This seal stone is also a rare treasure, I don't know where Zhou Yuanli got it, to please the old father.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yuanxin also took out a calligraphy and painting, which was praised by the old man.

And Zhou Yuanliang didn't send anything, and everyone didn't say anything, obviously it was delivered before.

Next, it's time for the kids to give gifts.

In previous years, there was no such link, but this time, Mr. Zhou is looking forward to it.

Although Zhou Yuanliang's children are not there, with the addition of Yu Linglong, there are still four families, and they have also made up a reunion number.

The jade gift was prepared by Zhou Yuanliang, it was not very valuable, nor light, it was a piece of jade!

And the remaining three children actually carried out a big box together.

Now, everyone's interest is here.

It seems that the three children are a gift prepared together!

"This gift has to be opened by Grandpa himself." Zhou Haojun said.

"Okay, let's see what kind of gift my grandchildren have prepared for me?"

The old man opened the big box with a smile, but he didn't expect that there was a box inside the box, which looked very mysterious.

Everyone didn't expect it to be like this, and they all laughed, these children really have ideas.

The old man smiled and opened the second layer of boxes, but he didn't expect that there was another box inside.

In this way, layer upon layer, there were six layers.

The meaning is obvious, six or six Shun!

The old man also felt the children's hearts, although he was tired, but he was willing!

Open the last floor, and the gift is finally revealed!

It turned out to be a crutch, to be precise, a crutch that looked ordinary and luxurious!

It is said that it is extravagant, and it is naturally the material of crutches, and you can tell at a glance that it is Huanghuali.

Huanghuali, also known as Huanghuali, is a kind of evergreen tree produced in a province of China, and its wood is called "Huanghuali".

Because of its hard wood and beautiful texture, it is the best material for making classical hardwood furniture.

Although it is easy to survive, it is extremely difficult to grow, and it takes hundreds of thousands of years to grow into a real fruit. Huanghua rosewood, red sandalwood, wenge wood, and iron wood are known as the four famous trees in ancient China.

To create such a crutch, it must take a lot of materials, which can be called luxury!

And to say that it is ordinary, the workmanship of this crutch is really poor, although it is also very smooth, but there is no technology at all, compared to the wood itself, it is very ordinary!

The old man picked up the crutches, looked at them, and asked softly, "Children, this crutches?" You polished it yourself, right? ”

The old man could see at a glance that this could not be bought with money.

"Well, grandpa, this is a joint effort of several of us, it is our heart, but our technology is limited, and we are not very good!"

Zhou Haojun is the leader of these people, everyone listens to him, and he is the representative every time he speaks!

The old man held his cane and was silent for a long time!

This is the Zhou family, a big family that is different from other families.

It stands to reason that with such a large family and so many possessions, it is conceivable that any problems arise.

Money can make ghosts push ghosts, and even make ghosts push ghosts!

But the entire Zhou family is unusually united, although it has been separated early, but when the family gets together, it is still the same as back then.

"Good boys, they are all good children, the Zhou family has you, why not prosper!"

Old man Zhou, who had been smiling all night, finally left tears at this time.

But these tears are tears of happiness, tears of joy, tears of satisfaction, and tears of happiness!

The Zhou family has money and a lot of money, and if these children spend money to buy gifts, the old man may also be happy, but it is definitely not the current scene.

A crutch infused with the child's filial piety and respect for his grandfather, no matter what material, its meaning and content are what Mr. Zhou cares about the most!

"I'll take this crutch, Lao Li, I'll take away my previous crutch in a while, and I'll use this one polished by my grandchildren in the future.

The children were also very happy to see that their grandfather liked to make his own crutches.

At this time, Zhou Haojun looked at Hong Xiao who was standing beside Yu Linglong, and suddenly said to Hong Xiao: "Hong Xiao, you are Linglong's girl's boyfriend, you are not an outsider, today is grandpa's birthday, as Linglong's girl's boyfriend, should you also prepare some gifts?" ”

No one expected that Zhou Haojun would be in trouble at this time!
