Chapter 1 The Zhao family in Miaotou Village
The village where Wu Nian has lived for 18 years is called Miaotou Village, it is said that it has existed for more than 100 years, there is a large family in the village, known as the Zhao family of Miaotou Village, the Zhao family has a wide range of doors, accounting for 80% of the population of the village, the four old men of the Zhao family are over the age of old, and are called the four old ladies by the villagers, regardless of their status or the strength of their words, they will have a pivotal position!
The names of the four old men are very meaningful, according to the ancestral genealogy, they are named after the glory and wealth, and tomorrow is the 84th birthday of the old man Zhao Rong, according to the customs of the village, 73 and 84 years old are a hurdle in life, 73.84 is not dead and there is half a breath left, there will be no shortage of people who tout the horse in any living environment, the Zhao family is unified, and it is equivalent to the housekeeper named Zhao Jian, as his name suggests, the character is general, and his lowliness, often using himself to be the cronies of the four old men and oppress the villagers with foreign surnames!
Today, Zhao Jian moved his brain, and proposed to the old man that tomorrow he could have a big feast, and the whole village would celebrate his birthday and be happy, after all, there was indeed no one in the village who could live past the 84-year-old curse.
In the ancestral hall of the Zhao family, in front of dozens of tablets, the four old men sat on their respective chairs and discussed about tomorrow's birthday banquet, and the three old men all agreed, but the fourth old man Zhao Gui had a deep face, and slowly stood up, and said in a deep and deep voice
I don't agree to do this, the rules left by the ancestors, in the past 100 years, no one has celebrated the 84th birthday with great fanfare, everything is implemented in accordance with the ancestral teachings, no one can violate the ancestral teachings on a whim, if you touch the taboo of the ancestors, not you and my generation can bear, I don't agree!
Hearing this, the second old man Zhao Hua took over with a smile on his face:
Fourth, although you and the eldest brother are half-brothers, they also have a deep brotherly relationship, not the second brother favors the eldest brother, if you can use the joy of organizing the birthday banquet to break through the 84-year-old curse of the eldest brother, why not? What is your opinion?
The third old man didn't pick his eyelids, and said lightly: It's all right!
The old man said: That's it, the minority obeys the majority, and tomorrow's birthday banquet will be decided, and Zhao Jian is instructed to go to Zhang Luo for all matters, set up a banquet with wine, and rush to the kan with joy!
The fourth old man, Zhao Gui, got up angrily and said: Everything is arranged by the eldest brother, if something goes wrong, you will bear the consequences!
After that, he turned around and left, and the conversation between the four old men about the birthday banquet ended unhappily!
Zhao Jian, the general manager, led the family to gather immediately, and the whole village was also busy, preparing congratulatory gifts and red envelopes, which is also the reason why Zhao Jian proposed, more or less there will always be some gray income.
And Wu Nian's family also began to think about it after receiving the notice, the Zhao family has the right to control a large area of land in the village, and no one wants to offend them, and Wu Nian's family belongs to people with foreign surnames, and they also want to take the opportunity to build a good relationship, even if they can't get special care, they won't be sad to wear small shoes!
Think about it, the concept of the Zhao family is traditional, the village is more believe in the gods, if you can send a symbol of auspicious longevity of the object is the best, through the discussion of father and son, absolutely send a symbol of fortune and longevity of gluttony, for Wu Nian, who is good at carving, this object does not have any difficulty, preparation, construction, an afternoon of time, carving, polishing, painting, time is enough!
The father and son began to get busy, and no one noticed that the moment the gluttony took shape, the old brown and yellow acoustic guitar on the wall, the strings moved slightly, and a few ancient and melancholy voices came out!
