This year, the Zhong family ushered in two happy events, one was that Zhong Zixing, who worked in Beijing, seriously made a girlfriend, and the other was that Zhong Shulin ushered in his ninetieth birthday.

After graduating from Jiangcheng Art College, Zhong Zixing went to a world-renowned conservatory in the United States to study piano performance for two years. After returning to China, Zhong Zixing has become well-known in the industry, signing a contract with a performance agency in Beijing and becoming a professional pianist. During a charity performance, he sparked a relationship with a volunteer, Shui Qingyuan, a senior at a university in Beijing, and quickly established a romantic relationship. From junior high school, high school to college, Zhong Zixing has never lacked female fans around him, but this time, he told his stepmother Qiu Yueyue that he was very serious, and Qingyuan was a rare girl in this era who was both enthusiastic and dignified that he had never seen before.

The grandson's studies are improving day by day, his career is thriving, and his 90-year-old grandfather Zhong Shulin is still physically strong and energetic, except for a little dazzle, there are no obvious problems with other organs in the body. When he goes out, he likes to carry a cane in his hand, which is rarely used, and basically only serves a decorative role. When the old man was happy, he would pick up the accordion and play it for a while. Everyone said that Zhong Lao can have such a good body, and his wife Zou Jing is indispensable.

Counting up, the two have been together for ten years. In the first few years together, they recalled the short and happy time when they worked together, recalled the all-night long conversation by the river, and the diary that Zou Jingzhi remembered that was taken by the police could no longer be recovered, but when he was sleepless at night, he talked about the emotions when writing the diary with the idol he worshipped at that time, Zou Jingzhi was still fluctuating, like a girl in her first love.

Zhong Shan discussed with Qiu Yueyue to hold a grand birthday banquet for the old father, and invited all the people he wanted to invite, so that the old man was happy. When the old father heard about this, he gladly accepted it, and added another one: At the same time, I and your Aunt Zou will hold a ten-year wedding anniversary. Zhong Shan and Qiu Yueyue both said that this idea was good.

When Zhong Shan's colleagues and friends heard about this, they also asked to participate, saying that they wanted to get a touch of the old man's blessings and joy. As a result, the list of guests became longer and longer, and finally counted, and more than a dozen tables needed to be arranged.

Zhong Shulin's birthday is the ninth day of the fourth lunar month, which is the most pleasant season of the year in Qingshan City. The birthday banquet was arranged in the Shiwei Tian Hotel, which covered a whole floor.

The birthday banquet was scheduled to start at 11 o'clock at noon, and before 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhong Shulin and Zou Jingzhi were dressed neatly and stood at the door of the hotel to welcome the guests. The old man wore a red shirt and white suspenders, and an off-white top hat. The wife was dressed in a crimson lily embroidered silk cheongsam, and her silver-white hair was permed with big waves, and the guests said that Mr. Zou looked a little like a famous press spokesman.

The eldest brother Zhong Danian is no longer there, his seven daughters, a son and their spouses and children are all here, and the nephew Zhong Xianghu has become a grandfather, and Zhong Shulin has been promoted to grandfather.

Grandson Zhong Zixing and his girlfriend Shui Qingyuan came back from Beijing, wishing grandpa and Grandma Zou a long life.

Liu Chunping, Liu Chunwang, and Liu Chunsheng came from the south, and Baoyin and Wang Danyu came from Inner Mongolia to wish Uncle Zhong a safe life and Aunt Zou happiness and health.

Tian Chunming, director of Tsingshan Radio and Television Station, and Zhang Lei, deputy director of Tsingshan Radio and Television Station, came, not only to celebrate Uncle Zhong's birthday, but also to express their blessings to Zou Jingzhi, the old director of the station, who had the grace of knowing him.

Li Baosheng, Cui Dalin, Xu Jiming, Wang Xueli, and Yu Taoge in the "Seven Heroes of the Northern School" came, bringing their respective wives, and the female companions who were drinking, singing and dancing back then were gone.

Liu Quanquan, Li Wei, Jin Mingli, Zhu Xiaotong, Xue Manni and other colleagues from Qingshan Daily came to express their blessings, Jin Mingli was pushed by Xue Manni in a wheelchair, and she has now resigned from all management work of the newspaper and is only an editor of a literary supplement.

Wu Shangquan and Liang Jiazhu, the two young people of Zhongshan, also came, wishing the old man a long life......
