In a villa in Yuquan Mountain, Yanjing, Huang Jianye led his wife and two daughters into the hall.

Huang Jianye is the fourth oldest in his family, with two older brothers and one sister, and one younger sister; There are three nephews in the direct family plus two daughters, a total of five, and the Huang family is not too prosperous; There are also 2 nieces and 2 nieces.

"Fourth, you're finally here, several families have arrived, just send your family, come in!" Huang Jianguo, who was the host of the family's internal birthday banquet, was the first to notice Huang Jianye who had just stepped through the door, and immediately stood up and greeted them loudly.

"I'm really sorry, it's complicated, so you have to wait for a long time for your parents, eldest brother, second brother, third sister, third brother-in-law, fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law. I should have left for a long time, but there was a big case in our county, which was delayed for a few days, and we just got off the train and rushed over non-stop! Huang Jianye explained to everyone very apologetically.

"As long as the people arrive, the grassroots politics in small places are no better than you idlers, it would be good to catch up." Huang Lao, who was wearing a short-sleeved birthday dress in the summer of the elderly, showed a natural smile when he saw his young son. Speaking of which, this son is very similar to his temper and temperament, and he has always been very loved, but he is just making people, and he only has two daughters under his knees, and it is difficult to inherit the family mantle, otherwise his character and qualifications will be investigated......

"Dad is right, the family doesn't talk about two families, I also heard about the big case in your county, the fourth child did a very good job this time, and many senior leaders expressed concern!" Huang Jianguo smiled and stretched out a finger and pointed upward, for this little brother who has no conflict with his interests, the feelings are still very good.

"Thank you, big brother, for the compliment, this is our duty as a policeman. Father. This is the birthday gift we have prepared for you, a little small gift, talk about your heart, I hope you can like it! After speaking, Huang Jianye and Wang Zheyuan respectively handed the four exquisite small gift boxes they brought in their hands to Huang Lao.

"Good, good. I haven't seen anything in my life and haven't eaten, you can have this filial piety, old woman, put away the gifts first, let's open them one by one after eating! Don't be stunned, everyone is around, the boss shouted that the kitchen can fry hot dishes, let's eat! With a wave of his hand, Boss Huang issued an order for the whole family to mobilize. Chatting while eating.

On the 70th birthday of Mr. Huang this time, his three sons, two daughters and five families were all present, and all kinds of cold dishes and braised vegetables were placed on the big long dining table. 17 people from the same hall sat in turn, feasting and enjoying themselves.

The kitchen was also very well prepared, and within a few minutes of eating, hot dishes from various regions were served one after another, and the smell of various delicacies filled the hall. It really makes the mouth tongue and appetite great.

"I've eaten almost all the famous dishes from all over the country. I still can't change my taste, my favorite is still the dishes of our hometown, 'still taste, so spicy', spicy, sour and spicy, fish fragrance, salty and umami, white oil, salt and pepper, homely taste, strange taste, etc., it is really boring! It's a pity that people are getting old. I have a bad appetite, I want to eat but I dare not eat! After eating a few pieces of spicy chicken, Huang Lao put down his chopsticks and said with some sighs.

"Dad, I've always liked the taste of our hometown. No numbness, no spicy, no joy. This time, I also brought you health herbs, wine and tea from my hometown, which I promise you will definitely enjoy! These good things can also make you live a long and healthy life! Huang Jianye said diligently and earnestly.

"I thought you were bringing something, but the packaging is pretty good, so bring some souvenirs back. The last thing our family lacks is these medicinal herbs, wine, tea, cigarettes and other things! Song Shuangyu, who has always been a bit snobbish, couldn't help but interject after hearing Huang Jianye's words.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, how do you speak? My old man hasn't eaten anything and never seen anything, can he still covet the birthday present of his juniors? I've told you all before, just bring your heart, why compare with each other? Old Man Huang looked a little displeased. This eldest daughter-in-law's family is now a first-class family, with a strong background and strength that should not be underestimated, but this is how she has developed an arrogant temperament, and she always looks down on this and that.

"You just give me a few words, the old man's birthday, everyone is happy!" After Huang Jianguo stared at Song Shuangyu, he said to Huang Jianye with a smile: "Fourth, don't take it to heart, your sister-in-law has always been a knife mouth and a tofu heart!" ”

"Don't worry, big brother, that's nothing, let's actively prepare for Dad's birthday gift, in fact, we all want to talk about our filial piety, we can't say it too much, we can all understand!" Huang Jianye smiled faintly, and did not take Song Shuangyu's words seriously.

"Jianye is right, don't worry about gifts or anything, we just need to see that you can be safe, healthy and healthy than anything else!" The Liu family at the table also spoke out and diluted the mud, the family is a little bumpy when it is big, it is inevitable, but the overall harmony and unity must be maintained, after all, the family and everything is prosperous.

"Mom is right, so I propose that we toast the second elder with a glass of wine. I wish my parents happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan Ageless Pine, I wish them good health, happiness, smiles, and longevity! Cheers! Huang Jiangong grabbed the wine glass, stood up and led everyone to toast the old couple, as if he was stealing the limelight from the boss.

"The second child said well, I was about to say it, let you say it first, I will wish the sun and the moon to be prosperous, the sun and the moon to shine together, the pine crane and Changchun, the blessing of the future, wealth and health, spring and autumn will not be old; I wish the old man a long time! Always young, always be the patron saint of our old Huang family! Huang Jianguo frowned slightly, he was a little uninterested in this showy second brother.

"Cheers!"

"Okay, thank you, my old man is already old, and the road in the future has to be up to you, but no matter when, your brothers and sisters must be sincerely united, so that our family can prosper forever!" Old Man Huang also took a small wine glass and drank it all.

……

"Now it's deserted to celebrate a birthday, and the old tradition of our Chinese people is to set off firecrackers and fireworks every New Year's holiday. But over the years, there have been more and more rules, and this is not allowed here at all, and it is not easy for me to be special, so I have to do this! After eating enough, Huang Lao walked out of the door, saw the inky sky, the surrounding mountains and fields were quiet, and couldn't help but miss the crackling firecrackers, that kind of sound made him enjoy it very much, just like the feeling of the rain of bullets back then, which made people passionate.

"Old man, are you thinking about the charge again? Thinking back to the life and death comrades who fought with you, look at your lonely hero! Liu, who has lived together for nearly 50 years, knows very well what his wife is thinking at this time.

"Yes, some things are unforgettable, think about the back then, how many people died and how much blood was shed to win the victory, many outstanding comrades, did not see the day when the revolution succeeded, and some fell before the dawn, this is really a sigh!" When Old Man Huang thought of this, he was really a little sad and regretful.

"Okay, don't be here to be sad and sigh for spring, you see the children and they are all sitting in the living room, waiting for you to open the gift and speak!" Liu helped Huang Lao and walked towards the inner room.

As the saying goes, having an old man in the family is like a treasure, and Huang Lao has been in a key position for a long time, although he is now in a semi-retired state, but he is old and strong. Every year at the birthday party, Mr. Huang will exchange his experience with his children and comment on their work direction and priorities, so as to help them find their own work priorities and promotion paths.

Huang Lao hobbled back to the living room, sat on the sofa, held a teacup, and looked at the children and grandchildren with a smile.

"Old man, you can also open the gift we gave and take a look, so let us know if you like it or not?" Li Panxiang looked at her sister-in-law a little provocatively, and said in her heart: We have spent a lot of money this year, and I believe that we will be able to compare with your family.

"Okay, it's still the old rules, let's start with the old family, and let everyone have a long experience, happy and happy!" After Huang Lao put down the teacup, he spoke and saluted.

"Dad, these are the gifts that Jianguo and I prepared for you. We know that you are a nostalgic person and like the things of the year, which is the bronze statue of Sakyamuni of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

You see, this Buddha statue has a bun of hair, a blue Buddha head, gilded all over, eyes slightly closed, two ears hanging shoulders, knotted sitting, and casting a magic seal. Wearing a light and close-fitting robe, exposing the right shoulder, the backlight behind him, all pointed, surrounded by flame patterns, the body is proportionally coordinated and beautiful. The bronze Buddha statue is delicate in workmanship, profound in meaning, it is really a rare boutique, and I and Jianguo spent a lot of effort to get it back from the hands of others.

There is also the inkstone, which is one of the four famous inkstones in our country, and it is also an antiquity of the last year, and its material is taken from the rotten rivers and mountains of the river at the southeast end of southern Guangdong. Because it is characterized by light weight, rigid and soft, lonely and no sound to touch, according to it like children's skin, soft and tender but not slippery, and not damaged, it is suitable to make ink. Since the advent of the Tang Dynasty, Duan Yan has been favored by literati and scholars. In addition, the texture is beautiful, each has its own name, and the processing skills are becoming more and more complex, and the status is getting higher and higher, so that it has risen to the top of China's stone inkstone, and it has been prosperous for a long time.

Dad, this inkstone is just right for you. This inkstone is not only high-end and atmospheric, but also very elegant, really pleasing to the eye, placed in your old study, it is more complementary, will make Dad Wen's thoughts spring, wonderful pen blossom. Speaking of this, Song Shuangyu paused deliberately, and glanced at the second daughter-in-law contemptuously, feeling like she had been determined. (To be continued......)
