Ye Xiao has the impression that when he was young, his grandfather's birthday banquet was cooked at home, and the whole family was happy.

However, as time went by, the family had money, and in order to save trouble, the location of the birthday banquet was changed to a hotel.

The location is also this restaurant called Lingyun Pavilion.

The minimum standard for a table of dishes in Lingyun Pavilion is two thousand yuan, and in a small county town, this kind of price can be said to be sky-high.

Especially for people in the countryside, it is unimaginable that a meal will cost thousands of yuan.

But every time Grandpa Ye Xiao's birthday banquet is held, it will be held here, and it is according to the highest standard of 5,881 tables, which can be said to be the envy of others.

As for the person who paid the money, it was naturally Ye Xiao's father, the richest in the Ye family at that time.

But this time, it was the third uncle Ye Xiao, Ye Shanhai, who paid the money.

Ye Xiao's grandfather's name is Ye Fengnian, and he has a daughter and two sons under his knees.

The eldest daughter is Ye Xiao's aunt, and Ye Xiao's father is the second.

It's just that Ye Xiao doesn't have a good impression of his third uncle Ye Shanhai now.

Because his father specially arranged for Ye Shanhai to work in the Ye Group, and he was also in a high-level position, but when their Ye Group was at its most turbulent, it was this third uncle who was the first to lead people to run away.

As a result, the Ye Group, which could have lasted for a period of time, and might not even collapse completely, was drawn from the bottom of the pot and accelerated its decline.

Therefore, the current Ye Xiao can be said to have no good impression of this third uncle.

In the box, a large family gathered.

Grandpa Ye Xiao, today's protagonist, the eighty-year-old birthday star Ye Fengnian.

There are also Ye Xiao's aunt Ye Wan's family of three, Ye Xiao's family of four, and the third uncle Ye Shanhai's family of three.

Eleven people in total.

The first is the birthday gift.

Ye Shanhai, who spent money today, was the first to make a move.

He carried two bottles of wine and a bag of tea.

"Dad, I know that you usually like to drink wine and tea, these two bottles are this year's limited Moutai, I specially guarded the time with Wang Lan, and spent a total of 30,000 yuan to grab them!"

Wang Lan is Ye Shanhai's wife and Ye Xiao's third aunt.

"There is also this bag of Tieguanyin, it is said that it can only produce ten catties a year, and here is a half catty, about 30,000 yuan, specially asked my friend to help buy it!"

Ye Fengnian accepted it with satisfaction: "Okay, good, I have a heart." ”

Then, it was the birthday gift of aunt Ye Wan and her husband Sun Weiguo.

Ye Wan was holding a cigarette with no neat packaging and no brand name.

"Dad, I know that you usually smoke cigarettes, and this cigarette is specially left for you by Weiguo."

Ye Shanhai looked at the blank cigarette box, frowned, and said, "Eldest sister, why don't you even have a brand of cigarettes, can't they be private cigarettes?" It's against the law! ”

Ye Wan seemed to be waiting for him to ask this, and immediately spoke: "Third child, have you forgotten what your brother-in-law does?" How could he do such a law-breaking thing! ”

Sun Weiguo smiled slightly, and took the opportunity: "This cigarette was given to me by my leader, and it is a special internal supply, and I can't buy it with money!" ”

Ye Xiaoyi has a rare impression that he, the eldest brother-in-law, works as an assistant to a department leader in a certain area of the provincial capital, and he can be regarded as an official figure.

Knowing the origin of this cigarette, Ye Fengnian's smile on his face was even brighter: "Okay, you also have a heart." ”

Smoking this kind of special cigarettes from the official family, isn't it better than drinking Moutai to save face?

Especially when chatting with old friends in the village, as soon as the smoke is released, by the way, the origin of the cigarette is more compelling than inviting guests to drink Moutai.

Ye Shanhai suddenly felt that he was being compared, and his face was a little not good-looking, but he quickly turned his head and looked at Ye Xiao's family, and his smile bloomed again.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, what gifts have you prepared for Dad?"

Ye Wan's family also looked at Ye Jiuzhang and his wife with interest.

Everyone present already knew about the destruction of the Han family, but that only happened a few days ago.

It's only been a few days, and they don't believe that Ye Jiuzhang's family, who was almost forced to death by the Han family, can come up with any good gifts to celebrate their birthday.

Ye Jiuzhang took out the sweet potatoes he brought and said, "It's really not expensive, but these sweet potato varieties are not ordinary, in addition to being big and delicious, eating them is also good for the body." ”

Seeing that the family's birthday gift turned out to be a bag of sweet potatoes, the other two families almost laughed.

Ye Shanhai glanced at the sweet potato in the bag, and looked playful: "It's a little bigger, but it can't change the fact that it's a sweet potato." ”

His wife Wang Lan followed closely: "That's it, don't go out to inquire, whose old man has a birthday, and gives sweet potatoes as a birthday gift?" I'm really not afraid to spread it out and be poked in the backbone! ”

Ye Wan sighed and said with some dissatisfaction: "Second brother, I know that your family is in decline now, but you just passed by a supermarket on the way to buy two cartons of milk, are you more sincere than this?" ”

Ye Xiao spoke at this time: "What's the hurry, we didn't just bring sweet potatoes." ”

As he spoke, he took out the five pills he had refined before.

"In the past three years, I have studied medicine and alchemy techniques for a while, which is the elixir I refined, and one of the ingredients is these sweet potatoes."

"Because of these sweet potatoes, after taking the pill, it can dispel diseases and detoxify, strengthen the body, beautify and nourish the skin, which is suitable for the elderly."

The third aunt Wang Lan immediately mocked: "It's a sweet potato again, and it's a pill, can't your family come up with a normal gift?" ”

Sun Weiguo also shook his head slightly: "What age do you still engage in such evil things as pills...... Ye Xiao, I advise you, feudal superstition is not advisable. ”

Ye Shanhai said pretendedly: "Second brother, I know that your family is in trouble now, but if you don't have money, you can tell me, I am now in an important position in Litian Construction, and my monthly income is good, so there is no problem in borrowing 180,000 yuan from you." ”

Ye Xiao sneered: "Then in the past three years, why are you not willing to borrow even a hundred yuan?" ”

When he was oppressed by the Han family, his parents didn't think about asking Ye Shanhai for help, but they couldn't get through the door.

Borrow money?

Don't even think about rubbing a bite of rice!

Ye Shanhai's face changed slightly, but he still quickly found a good reason for himself: "The main thing is that the Han family is here, and we can't interfere to help." ”

Wang Lan also said: "That is, the Han family was so powerful at that time, who dared to offend?" ”

Ye Xiao asked again: "What about before the Han family, when our company didn't go bankrupt?" ”

Ye Shanhai was speechless.

Wang Lan snorted coldly: "People die for money, birds die for food, seeing that your family is not good, why do we have to delay the time to gamble in your house, what if my family is also dragged down?" ”

Ye Xiao still said coldly: "It's no problem to leave, why take people away?" Even the companies we work with! ”

Wang Lan said bluntly: "Your third uncle took someone to change jobs, and it is also his performance, otherwise why would he be an executive in Litian Construction now?" People don't kill for themselves, you know? ”
