Chapter 3: Birthday Greetings
"Oh, old watch, take it quickly, the soles of my feet have entered the stones, and I have to pick them out!" Chen Dong suddenly looked pained and staggered.
"How did you do it, so carelessly!" Xu Zilei muttered dissatisfied, but still took the box, for fear that the Guanyin inside would be broken.
Chen Dong let go of his hands, turned around and left.
"I'm Cao!" Xu Zilei suddenly sank down, and almost fell into a dog eating, "Chen Dong, what are you doing?" Hurry up and get me back, I'm going to drop! ”
A two-hundred-pound guy, even a strong man who is used to rough work, is a little difficult to move, not to mention, it is still a young master like Xu Zilei who is used to being pampered, and he almost bends his waist.
Chen Dong turned a blind eye, and only took the wind in his ears: "Mom, are we going to go in and help?" ”
Du Mei was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic: "Nonsense, today is the old lady's birthday, there is a lot of work to do, go in and help!" Big brother-in-law, and Zilei, your things will be moved by yourself! ”
"Holy! Chen Dong, you bastard! Xu Zilei scolded, but he didn't dare to throw things away, his legs trembled, "Parents, take the handle, take the handle quickly!" ”
"Haha, you deserve it!" Du Mei was refreshed, and for the first time in history, he felt pleasing to the eye when he looked at Chen Dong, "It's a beautiful job!" ”
"Wife, am I witty?" Chen Dong has a hippie smile.
"You know how to be smart!" Xu Chuyin glanced sideways, but couldn't help laughing.
No one expected that Chen Dong deliberately dug a pit for Xu Zilei just now and made him jump in!
"Chen Dong, you dare to trick me!" Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
Xu Zilei was out of breath and rushed up to ask the teacher.
"Old watch, you move quickly, is your waist okay?"
"...... the"
"Don't it, hurry up and greet the guests!" Chen Dong threw a tray to him, "Remember, the visitor is a guest, be polite!" ”
"You, I'm ......" Xu Zi vomited blood angrily.
Lao Tzu is a dignified grandson of the Xu family, and he is a waiter with a tray, what's the matter?
"Chen Dong, you wait for me, I have to let you know how good I am today!" Xu Zilei gritted his teeth, and a flame of humiliation erupted from his eyes.
The old lady of the Xu family celebrated her 60th birthday, and in addition to the Xu family's own people, many friends and partners in business came to congratulate her.
Inside and out, there were at least twenty or thirty tables.
As the guests arrived one after another, a shout came: "The old lady has arrived!" ”
I saw an old lady with white temples dyed white, wearing Lao Jun's usual clothes, with a smiling face, a red face, and a sandalwood cane in her hand, which was quite imposing.
Next to her, a man and a woman were supporting.
It is the most favored Xu Zixuan, as well as his sister Xu Zhiyun.
In the back, there are a three-room couple, Xu Shu and Xiao Chunhua.
Seeing this posture, Li Yanhong of the big house snorted: "The third room is really a sycophant, the family is in battle, it's a pity not to go to war!" ”
"That's it, the family is all sycophants, and they can do everything they can!" Du Mei's face was also ugly, "Hatsune, you have to behave well later, in terms of strength and appearance, you are no worse than anyone else!" ”
Xu Chuyin smiled bitterly in his heart, no matter how strong his strength is, what's the use?
has no status in the eyes of the old lady, it's all for nothing!
Either way, though, try to fight for your breath!
"Hello everyone!" The old lady raised her hand to greet everyone, "The old man has a 60th birthday, thanks to all relatives and friends who came to cheer, I am very grateful!" ”
"Old lady, I can come to congratulate you on your birthday, that's our stain!" A man with a mustache stepped forward with a smile and said, "I, Hu 30,000, offer a pair of jade Ruyi, and wish the old lady all the best, longevity and health!" ”
"Good!" The old lady nodded in satisfaction.
"I Kang Fuquan presents a gold and silver phoenix hairpin, and I wish the old lady Lao Ji a phoenix, like a phoenix among people!"
"I, Zhang Wan, present a pair of jade bracelets, wishing the old lady good things in pairs, welfare and health!"
“……”
For a while, the visitors rushed to send congratulatory gifts.
You must know that these people who come to celebrate their birthdays are basically friends of the Xu family in business, in other words, they all rely on the Xu family for food.
How can you not work hard in the highlight of the face-fighting event of giving congratulatory gifts?
The hustle and bustle was very high, the guests came to worship, and the old lady sat on the Taishi chair, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.
When all the guests have finished giving gifts, it will be the turn of the Xu family themselves!
The people of the big house take the lead.
Xu Zilei led two subordinates, moved the big box to the old lady, and opened it with a click.
Suddenly, a half-meter-high Bodhisattva appeared in front of everyone, causing an uproar.
"This Guanyin Bodhisattva is magnificent!"
"It's not small!"
"It's got to be millions!"
Seeing the reaction at the scene, Xu Zilei was quite proud: "Grandma, congratulations on your blessings like the South China Sea, longevity than Guanyin!" ”
Xu Shan and Li Yanhong were afraid that they would not say much, so they hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Mom, for this great Guanyin, we have traveled thousands of miles, almost all over the South China Sea!" ”
"I also specially invited the master to open the light, and in front of Guanyin, I knelt for a day and a night, Zilei's legs were almost useless!"
Xu Zilei smiled 'modestly': "Grandma's 60th birthday, can't be ambiguous, it's all what I should do!" ”
Sure enough, the old lady ate this set very much: "Okay, good, worthy of being my eldest grandson, you have a heart!" The Xu family is handed over to you, I can rest assured! ”
Hearing this, Xu Zilei's family had their noses a little higher.
Not to be outdone, Xu Zixuan, as a representative, hurriedly took out his congratulatory gift: "Grandma, guess what, what did I prepare for you?" ”
The old lady was interested: "What is it?" ”
"Look!" Xu Zixuan opened the gift box.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "This is ...... Aoyagi inkstone?! ”
"Exactly!"
"Grandma, we all know that you love to write all your life, and after searching all the antique shops in Shanghai, we finally found a scholar's treasure for you!" Sister Xu Zhiyun said.
Xu Shu and Xiao Chunhua added even more oil and vinegar: "At that time, some people also took a fancy to this Qingliu famous inkstone, and they also bid for it, and Zixuan spent a lot of money to buy it!" Of course, money is a trivial matter, but Zixuan has to take out all his savings, saying that he wants to honor his grandmother, and we are all a little embarrassed to be parents! ”
"Hey, my little grandson, you are the most filial, grandma didn't hurt you in vain!" The old lady smiled, and reached out and touched Xu Zixuan's head, like touching a dog.
Fools can also see that the old lady prefers the younger grandson Xu Zixuan to the eldest grandson Xu Zilei!
Xu Chuyin below couldn't help biting his lip.
It's just an exaggeration!
Moreover, this Qingliu famous inkstone should have been sent by her!
"Okay, everyone is coming from afar, you can't wait, let's have a seat!" The old lady waved happily.
"Grandma, our congratulatory gift hasn't been given yet!" Xu Chuyin was embarrassed.
The old lady remembered it at this time, and was about to speak, Xu Zixuan took the lead in laughing and said: "Sister Hatsune, in fact, it's okay if you don't send it, everyone knows that your second room is the poorest, you don't have much money, and the things you send are definitely not much better!" Rather than this, it is better to put it back in your pocket, so as not to take it out and make jokes! ”
"Zixuan, you can't say that, send goose feathers for thousands of miles, the courtesy is light and affectionate! Whether the congratulatory gift is good or bad, it is a piece of our heart! How could Du Mei suffer this dumb loss, and immediately choked.
"Really? Then I really want to see, what can you give? Xu Zixuan scoffed.
While speaking, Chen Dong had already gone up with the gift box and glanced at Xu Zixuan: "Young man, give a broken garbage inkstone, what are you talking about?" ”
"What did you say?" Xu Zixuan's face changed, and he said angrily, "Chen Dong, you dare to say that the things I sent are garbage!" ”
"I'm sorry, I said it wrong!" Chen Dong changed his words and said, "I mean, the congratulatory gifts from everyone here are all rubbish!" ”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Chen Dong's words immediately aroused public outrage!
He is a door-to-door son-in-law who eats soft rice, and everyone present knows that they were waiting to see him laugh, but where did he think that this guy is so arrogant!
"Chen Dong, what kind of thing are you, dare to be so arrogant!"
"A person who comes to eat soft rice has a face coming out!"
"We're sending garbage, so what are you sending?"
"Everyone be quiet, let's open our eyes and see what good baby they are giving in their second room!" Xu Zixuan shouted.
"Then look at it!" Chen Dong methodically opened the gift box.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he really had any peerless gifts?
Smack!
The moment the gift box was opened, the audience was silent!
After a second, the hall burst into laughter!
"What is this?"
"A bunch of black broken dishes and broken dishes, fortunately it means other people's garbage!"
"I'm laughing to death!"
"Hahahaha, Chen Dong, this is your congratulatory gift? Everyone knows that you eat soft rice, but you don't need to pick up a bunch of rags to give to grandma, right? Xu Zixuan was still a little nervous, but when he saw something, he laughed out loud.
Aren't these broken dishes from last night's antique shop?
I didn't expect Chen Dong to really give them away as a congratulatory gift!
What an idiot!
"Xu Chuyin, hurry up and bring your door-to-door husband back, shame on you!" Xu Zhiyun waved her hand like a fly.
Xu Chuyin's face changed greatly, she couldn't have imagined that the sandalwood bracelet prepared in advance would become a broken bowl!
"Hatsune, what's going on?" Du Mei jumped to her feet anxiously, "Didn't you prepare well yesterday?" That's how you prepare? ”
"Mom, I didn't give this one, Chen Dong must have taken it wrong!"
"Nothing is enough, there is more than enough failure, the congratulatory gift can be taken wrong, it's just a pig!" Du Mei felt the urge to vomit blood, "Don't go and replace it yet!" ”
"Grandma......" Xu Chuyin was about to explain, but the old lady had already darkened her face, "It's a door-to-door person, from the beginning, I didn't expect your second room!" Open! ”
Undoubtedly!
It's irrefutable!
Xu Chuyin trembled, his face pale!
A good opportunity to perform, let Chen Dong ruin it!
