readx;
After the banquet was dispersed, Zhao Yue and the village chief Zhao Decai walked into the study, and Zhao Yue said while making tea: "Uncle, do you know what another month will be?" ”
Zhao Decai took a sip of the tea that Zhao Yue had made for him, and said suspiciously: "A month later?" What's the name? ”
Zhao Yue smiled and said, "You see that you are really a noble person and forget things!" In a month, it will be my uncle's 100th birthday! ”
Zhao Decai suddenly realized, patted his head and buried himself in the ape and said: "You see I'm so busy that I forgot about such an important thing!" ”
"Uncle, uncle is a hundred years old, it's not easy! His old man has been through ups and downs all his life, and he has worked hard until now, and he is finally living a good life, and his body is still healthy and healthy, and he is free of diseases and disasters! Besides, it is the first time to be 100 years old in our village, and even in our town, I am afraid that it is also the first time in our county, which is a great joy! The big guy is very busy right now, but I think this thing needs to be done, and it has to be done in a big way! ”
Zhao Decai was about to take out a cigarette from his pocket, Zhao Yue picked up the cigarette on the table and handed it to him, and said: "Uncle came to me a few days ago, and I forgot about it at that time, if it wasn't for his old man's reminder, I wouldn't be able to remember, ashamed, uncle!" Since the old man has this mind, those of us who are younger generations will meet his wish, what I mean, our uncles and brothers are all getting together, take some money out to give his old man a big birthday, lively for three days and three nights, of course, some uncles and brothers are difficult at home, it doesn't matter, those who have money to pay, those who don't have money to contribute, everyone works together to do this well, what do you mean? ”
Zhao Decai nodded and said: "Yes, it is difficult to have a hundred-year-old birthday star, this thing has to be done, how to say it is also our blessing, and it is also a great joy!" If you want to do a big job, you have to spend a lot of money, although we uncles and brothers have a lot, but not many of us have really made a fortune over the years, and I am afraid that there is a lot of shortfall in terms of funds! ”
Zhao Yue thought for a while and said: "Do you think this will work, first gather the big guys, everyone will discuss and discuss, take as much as you can, and run errands to make efforts if you can't take it, after all, you will do your best, and others will not laugh at it, and I will come out of the part that is not enough, in addition, I mean to take advantage of my uncle's birthday, and repair the ancestral hall of the temple, and cultivate it decently and magnificently, so that the ancestors come back from the underworld during the New Year's festival and look comfortable, right?" The money for this temple is also included in everyone's fund-raising funds, and all the insufficient funds are paid by me, what do you think? ”
Zhao Decai smoked a cigarette, wiped his tears and said, "Yue, uncle said thank you to you!" Uncle didn't think about giving your uncle a birthday, how could Uncle Yuzi forget such an important one? It's not that my uncle doesn't want to be filial, but he's really powerless! I have long wanted to repair the ancestral hall of the temple, watching it collapse day by day, my uncle is also uncomfortable, but I don't have the money to repair it, and everyone is not rich, since you have proposed it today, you are willing to do your filial piety for your uncle and ancestors, and you have thought about it thoughtfully, taking into account everyone's face, uncle, I want to thank you! As he spoke, he was about to stand up and bow to Zhao Yue. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Yue hurriedly stood up and said, "Hey, uncle, don't be like this, don't be like this!" You're killing me! ”
After Zhao Decai sat down, Zhao Yue thought for a while and said: "After all, you are the son of your uncle, and you are also the party concerned, you can avoid suspicion, I will do this work by me, I will go to the village with you to broadcast it later, notify the uncles and brothers of my family, and let them come to my house at night to discuss, this married sister of the family is forgotten, they are already outsiders after all, do you think this is okay?" ”
Zhao Decai nodded and said: "I think it's okay, it's best for you to come forward, and everyone values you very much!" ”
Seeing that Zhao Decai nodded in agreement, Zhao Yue said again: "Leave the matter to me, after everyone raises funds, I won't have time for this specific matter, I will go to the coast in a few days, this has to be handed over to you!" My uncle and I have already played a package ticket, opened a three-day flowing water seat, invited a few opera troupes to sing for three days, what Huangmei opera troupe, Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Sichuan Opera or something to invite a few more, in addition, I also want to invite the county cinema to show a three-day movie, other helpers, firecrackers, salutes, etc., you try to think carefully, don't be afraid of spending money, what are you afraid of spending money? If we spend it, we will earn it back, as long as we have a reputation, and there are more people here, everyone will naturally make money! You also have to think about where to put this open water mat, where to sing in the hall, and where to play the movie! In addition, when the time comes, there will be a lot of noise, and there may be people coming to celebrate your birthday, and you may have to think about how to receive it."
"Okay, I'll think about it these days!" Zhao Decai said.
The two discussed it almost and went to the village together.
"The following is a notice, I am Zhao Yue, please come to my house at nine o'clock tonight for a meeting, and I have something to discuss!"
Zhao Yue played it on the radio three times in a row before he said goodbye to Zhao Decai and went home, and when he got home, he called Fedello and instructed: "Old Fei, you go to buy some melons, fruits, snacks and melon seeds in the afternoon, and I will entertain my uncles and brothers in the evening, there are a lot of people, prepare more tea!" ”
"Understood, sir!" Federo stooped in answer, and then turned to go.
After Federo left, Chen Xuan came down from upstairs with Xiaoyu, still carrying incense candles in his hands, "Brother Yue, Xiaoyu and I want to go to Haozi's grave to pay respects!" ”
Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there!" With that, he walked to the courtyard, took a shovel on his shoulder, and took Chen Xuan and Xiaoyu to the cemetery at the end of the village.
When they arrived at the cemetery, Chen Xuan and Xiaoyu lit incense and candles in front of Zhao Hao's tomb, burned some paper money, took out three wine glasses and a bottle of liquor from their bags, put them in front of the tomb, and poured the cups with liquor.
Chen Xuan and Xiaoyu bowed to Zhao Hao's tombstone, "Haozi, brother, Xiaoyu and I came to see you, and now we came to see you, you won't blame us, right?" Chen Xuan and Xiaoyu began to talk to Zhao Hao's tombstone in front of the tomb.
Zhao Yue took a shovel to clean up all the weeds around Zhao Hao's cemetery, dug a few shallow drainage ditches next to it, and then sat on the side and smoked a cigarette, listening to Chen Xuan and Xiao Yue reminiscing about the interesting things they used to have with Zhao Hao in front of the tomb.
The three of them stayed in the cemetery for more than an hour before leaving, "Brother Yue, I have thought about things at work, I want to go to work with Xiaoyu in the Mercenary Guild!" On the way home, Chen Xuan said his and Xiaoyu's plans.
