548 Birthday Banquet
"Eldest sister, second sister, third concubine, you are here." Fang Zhonglei walked over and said hello to his sister.
They also stood up together and let Fang Zhonglei sit beside them.
The eldest sister said: "Brother, I haven't seen me old in the past few years, and I'm still so young. ”
Fang Zhonglei said with a smile: "In our mother's words, it is the Fang family, and the genetics are good." ”
Old Madam Fang said happily, "Isn't it? If it weren't for the Fang family's good genetics, would you be able to give birth to all of them? ”
What a good family, what a happy and warm scene.
Wang Yaru came back with her daughter-in-law.
Zhang Xiaoqiang generously walked up to the three aunts and said, "Auntie, you are all here, accompany grandma, she has been talking about you." ”
Wang Yaru still has some grudges in her heart, and the three of them almost killed their son.
Her expression didn't change, she just nodded, and went into her room.
Xiao Liu was putting the prepared dishes on the table, and Zhang Xiaoqiang went to help.
Zhang Chen led Jiaxin and Teacher Yang led Jiayi into the door together.
Jiaxin and Jiayi looked at the three strangers from the house, they looked at Grandma Tai with strange eyes and said, "Grandma, who are they?" ”
Old Madam Fang said, "These are your three aunts, call someone quickly." ”
Fang Zisu said: "These are the two treasures of our family, they have grown so tall." ”
Jiaxin generously shouted: "Hello aunt." ”
Jiayi also called: "Hello aunt! ”
Fang Ziqin said: "What a polite child. ”
Xiao Liu walked over and said, "The meal is ready, let's come over and eat together." ”
Fang Ziqin and Fang Zisu helped their mother to the dining table one by one.
A large dining table was packed.
Xiao Liu said: "I didn't prepare any good dishes, they were all home-cooked dishes, let's eat them quickly, it's rare that the family is here today." ”
When Xiao Liu said this, her heart was moved, and she saw that the sadness in Mrs. Fang's eyes was gone, and she was really happy.
When people are old and old, they don't want anything else, just want their sons and daughters to be in front of them.
The three daughters were all holding dishes for their mother, and Mrs. Fang looked at her daughter happily.
Zhang Xiaoqiang took red wine, she poured wine for her aunts and said: "In the past, no matter what happened, I hope that in the future, everyone will be safe and sound." ”
The three women were a little embarrassed, they knew that there was something in Zhang Xiaoqiang's words.
Fang Ziqin said: "Don't worry, we are doing well now, we don't want anything anymore, just ask for my mother's health." ”
Old Mrs. Fang took the lead in raising the cup, and the family touched the cup together.
At night, Fang Ziqin did not go to the third child's house, she had to sleep with her mother.
Fang Zisu and Fang Zilin left.
Fang Ziqin brought her mother foot washing water, tested the water temperature with her hands, and asked her mother to sit on a bamboo chair in the living room, gently washing her feet and massaging the instep of her feet.
This is the first time to wash the mother's feet.
Although my mother is not a small foot, my elderly mother has begun to lose weight.
She didn't dare to use her strength for fear of hurting her mother.
Jiaxin saw that his aunt was washing his grandmother's feet, he ran over, brought a plate of water, walked up to Wang Yaru and said, "Grandma, I will also wash your feet." ”
Fang Zhonglei said with a smile: "Oh, my eldest grandson has suddenly grown up, when will I wash my grandfather?" ”
Wang Yaru said: "Your grandfather is jealous, but grandma usually treats you well." ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang heard the conversation in the living room in the study, and she was sincerely happy.
Hatred only kills a person's sanity, and love can resolve all grievances.
The matter of the Fang family's birthday banquet spread very quickly. Some people who didn't receive the invitation, also came.
At the entrance of the community, there is a special person responsible for receiving people who come to celebrate their birthdays.
The road leading to the courtyard of the Fang family is covered with a red carpet and hung with colorful doors.
"Blessing is like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan!" Huge letters hung down from both sides at once, and two big red balloons floated on them.
It was specially invited by the etiquette company to come and arrange and preside.
The chefs at the birthday banquet were all invited from the hotel.
There are many people who come to celebrate the birthday, and the 80th birthday should be so grand.
Of course, with the arrival of Zhang Zhihe and Zhang Jiuye, Mrs. Fang was even more happy.
These two old men who have known each other for more than half a century had such a romantic relationship when they were young, although they did not become husband and wife, but now they have become friends, which can be regarded as the biggest regret in life.
The three daughters have been surrounding their mother, greeting relatives and friends.
Fang Zhonglei and his family were even more busy.
Fang Aobai and Zhang Xiaoqiang came more at these two people, and they were the most generous.
Yes, Fang Aobai's current status and identity, there are many people who want to tie up.
Over the years, Mrs. Fang has had a lot of friends, especially those who run an antique business, and she has known many literati and artists.
The courtyard is full of fruits, drinks, and drinks.
Everyone shuttled through it and greeted each other.
Greeting and laughing.
Zhang Xiaoqiang specially customized a big cake for her grandmother, on which was the three-star New Year celebration of Fu Lu Shou, lifelike and cute.
Fang Yi said to Jiaxin: "Look, it's the first time I've seen such a big cake, it must be delicious." ”
Jiaxin said: "How old are you, and you are still so greedy." ”
The humorous master of ceremonies presided over the whole process of the birthday banquet, and also invited some celebrities to help, which was a lively scene.
The hanging calligrapher invited by the ninth master waved on the spot and wrote a "longevity", which attracted countless people to watch.
The gifts given by some people are quite valuable, and they are all people who want to do business with the Fang family.
The gift of the third sister of the Fang family was a little shabby, and it was not a high-end gift.
Fang Ziqin's daughter came uninvited, she knew that this cousin was a big celebrity now, and she wanted to climb high.
When she came, she didn't expect to meet her mother.
When the mother and daughter met, they were stunned.
"Xiaoqi, you're here." The moment Fang Ziqin saw her daughter, her heart was excited.
But this daughter of hers glanced at her mother, and she saw that her mother was no longer as bright as she used to be, so she just snorted and shouted, "Mom! ”
Fang Zisu ran over and said, "Xiaoqi, you have no conscience." Your dad and mom went back to their hometown, and you didn't go to see it once. Do you know how sad they are? ”
"Auntie, my life is not easy, don't you know?" Xiaoqi began to look contrived again.
At this time, Fang Aobai came over and beckoned his aunts to come over for dinner.
When that Xiaoqi saw her cousin coming, she said with a flattering look: "Cousin, don't you know me?" I'm your big cousin. ”
Fang Aobai responded with a polite smile, then turned around and left.
Fang Ziqin saw that her daughter always looked down on her, and her heart was cold.
blamed herself for her poor education back then and for not establishing her correct outlook on life.
Fang Ziqin's second daughter Ruoxin also rushed back, and she went to another city with her husband.
Only she has been sending money and things to her parents, and she has visited them a few times.
Fang Ziqin took her second daughter's hand and said, "Xin'er, my good daughter, I want to kill you." ”
Ruoxin said, "Mom, second aunt, third aunt, how are you?" ”
Fang Zisu praised Ruoxin's sensibility.
They were all born by the same mother, why is there such a big difference.
The birthday feast began.
The chef's cooking is the same as that of a hotel.
The big garden was full of people.
Fang Zhonglei and his son toasted table by table to express their gratitude.
Old Mrs. Fang sat happily in the middle of her daughter and great-grandson, looking at the people of the family, her face bloomed with happiness.
The Ninth Master sat on the table next to Old Lady Fang, watching Old Lady Fang's every move.
How good, the mistakes of the past can now get together again, regardless of the past suspicions.
At ten o'clock in the evening, everyone left one after another.
Fang Zhonglei, Fang Aobai, and Zhang Xiaoqiang have been sending off guests at the door, returning gifts, and wrapping red envelopes for all those who came to celebrate their birthdays.
Old Mrs. Fang sat in the living room, looking at the birthday gifts piled up in front of her, she looked very happy.
Today's happiest thing is that her three daughters can arrive, a scene she has been longing for for years.
Seeing a large family happy, she was happy in her heart.
……
The birthday banquet is over, and the family's life is back to normal.
The carving of Zhang Xiaoqiang's large stone is underway, and of course the studio is located in the small courtyard behind the store.
No one is allowed to disturb the master's work, only Wu Mo is accompanied, but he is only in the next room, and he can't enter the master's work hut.
More than two months passed, and the master's work was finally completed.
After receiving this good news, Zhang Xiaoqiang was very happy.
The Wu Qiang brothers, Zhang Xiaoqiang and his wife came to the courtyard together.
The master was sitting there drinking tea, and he said that this was his most satisfying work, and it was really a fate to be able to meet such good materials.
Underneath the big red silk is that piece.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang uncovered the red silk, she was stunned.
A lifelike dragon and its nine sons.
The master said that after the whole piece is peeled off, according to the original ecological shape, no excess material is wasted.
He is explaining the meaning of nine births and nine sons:
The eldest prisoner cow likes music, so he squats on the piano head;
The second child is a man who likes to kill, so he takes the knife as his neighbor;
The third laughs at the wind, shaped like a beast, the only phoenix with a dragon vein;
The old man screams when he is ambushed, so he lies cross-legged on a clock;
The old five-pronged man, shaped like a lion, liked smoke, so he carved it on an incense burner;
Under the old six tyrants, like turtles, they like to carry weights;
The old seven foxes are shaped like tigers;
The old eight are like dragons;
Lao Jiu Pixiu, big mouth has no ****, only in and out.
These nine kinds of divine beasts are integrated with the dragon, and each seems to be an independent carving, with different expressions.
And this dragon, his eyes are full of energy, and every scale on his body is shiny, and the whole is transparent.
Wu Qiang circled around the object a few times, and said, "I've grown so big, and I've never seen such a good jadeite material." ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Master, please be sure to appreciate your face and go to have a meal together." As for your remuneration, you just have to make your own conditions. ”
The master shook his head and said, "You can do whatever you want without pay." Thank you for giving me such a good piece of base to use all my life's learning. The collection of northern and southern sword techniques, as well as the best sword techniques I have ever seen, can be used on this as you like. ”
He touched this treasure that came out of his hands and took more than two months of hard work, and he had a feeling of reluctance.
Every time he finishes an object, he treats it like his own child, no matter where it ends up, he always can't bear to part with it.
Wu Qiang suggested that this baby should be given a festival and open a light, that is, to hype it up, and it would be a good price to sell it in the future.
The master agreed, and informed him of the precautions for consecration.
It can be seen that in the past two months, the master has indeed been tired.
Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "If there is good material in the future, I have to trouble you again." ”
The master said, "Is there anything better than this?" I don't think this is something that happens in a hundred years. ”
The master's words stunned everyone present.
Especially Wu Qiang, he began to estimate how much money he would sell, and the commission alone was enough for the rest of his life.
As soon as he thought of this, he began to get a little excited.
Wu Mo was also rolling his eyes.
Zhang Xiaoqiang arranged the best hotel, let the master go to rest first, and then invite the master to have a meal together.
When Wu Mo sent the master away, the master's eyes refused to leave the work that had been with him for two months.
He clearly knew that if this came out, his reputation would be famous all over the world along with it.
I really don't know what kind of owner it will meet and where it will be displayed in the future.
took a deep look for the last time, and then got into Wu Mo's car.
His eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't speak.
"Master, can you tell me how much this is worth?" Wu Mo wanted to inquire.
"This can't be measured in money, in my heart, it's priceless. Hopefully, I can meet someone who understands it better. The master said, as if he was tired.
When the hotel arrived, Wu Mo personally went to get the room card, handed it to the master and said, "You have a good rest first, and I will pick you up at noon tomorrow." ”
The master did not speak, and walked alone into the long hallway.
Wu Mo drove back.
Wu Qiang happened to be at home at this time, and he asked, "Has the master settled down?" ”
Wu Mo said: "The master said that this is priceless. ”
Wu Qiang said: "Don't worry about this price, after the sale, we only take what we deserve, don't care how much people sell, this has nothing to do with us, just don't be too greedy." ”
"Got it, brother, I'll listen to you." Wu Mo said a little unhappily, he wished that all the money belonged to their brother, so that they could live a good life and no longer have to work hard for others.
Wu Qiang said: "Go back, rest early, there is something to do tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
