"That's when I realized that your father went out without even saying a word and went to a butcher's house two hills above to buy meat on credit."
"I didn't get home until midnight. I heard your grandma said that the children drank half a bowl of wild vegetable porridge at night. Your father forced your grandma to make braised pork noodles for me."
"Wow, my father is so kind..." Xiaojie couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Ruoqing was also full of emotions.
In that era, life was so difficult. If it were any other father, his two daughters would not be able to beat each other easily.
But Lao Suntou didn't say a single harsh word, and just went to make up for it silently.
Such a man is a real man.
Such a man is an upright man.
Being cared for by such a man and protecting my mother and aunt who grew up is undoubtedly happy, with a sound personality and an open mind.
"That day, I counted as I was eating, and there were ten pieces of meat. It was the most delicious braised pork I have ever eaten in my life..." Sun murmured, her eyes turning red.
Da Sun's eyes were also red, and she sniffed and laughed a few times.
"The next morning, I also ate ten pieces of braised pork and noodles. Mom and dad, that's fair!" she said.
Sun nodded.
The eldest Sun said: "It's not easy for us, my father and our mother, in this life. We, the eldest sisters, have no sons. We were always laughed at in Sunjiagou."
"Now that you have married a good third son, I also recruited your brother-in-law to come and give birth to a son, Dajie."
"Dajie also passed the examination to become a scholar, which made us look good. Did you know that last time Dajie passed the examination to become a scholar, our family went back to Sunjiagou to hold a banquet. Those who used to look down on us all came over to compliment us." road.
"If you are poor in the busy city and no one cares about you, if you are rich in the mountains you have distant relatives, this is so true!" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but sigh.
Da Sun curled her lips, "Isn't that right!"
"Earlier, your grandma was discussing this with me, asking if your grandpa would like to send a message to the relatives in Sunjiagou for his sixtieth birthday?"
"I refused right away. What message did you send? Those people, unless they are selected as great heroes in the future, I have to go back and burn incense to worship our ancestors before I tell them. I don't want to tell them anything else." Come and go." Da Sun said.
Sun said: "Sister, is this inappropriate? It's easy to offend people."
Da Sun said: "I won't offend you. You didn't see their faces last time."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Mom, don't worry. As expected, even if we don't notify them, someone will definitely come out to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. Just wait and see!"
Da Sun said: "If it really comes, I will just put out a few more pairs of chopsticks, it doesn't matter."
Recalling the bitter and thinking of the sweet, now that the bitter memories are over, it is now the turn to think of the sweet.
"Auntie, what are you going to do for this birthday party?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Mrs. Sun was startled for a moment and said: "What else can we do? Why don't we just ask your uncle to do the cooking? Let's prepare a few tables of meals to attract relatives and friends!"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment. Sixty years old, given the material and medical standards of this era, is a long life.
Sixty is also a milestone in life. Sixtieth birthdays should be celebrated vigorously for those who are qualified.
"I used to see those members of the town celebrating their 60th birthday with a three-day opera, and even invited dragon and lion dancers to come over." Yang Ruoqing continued.
"So this time, I also want to have a good one."
"Okay, okay, Qing'er, what are you going to do? Tell me," Dasun said.
Yang Ruoqing thought about it seriously and said, "I plan to hold the noon birthday party at a restaurant in the town on my birthday."
"Everyone is so used to the dishes served at these banquets at home. You can even imagine what they are with your eyes closed."
"Let's go to a restaurant to change our appetite. How about that?" she asked.
Xiaojie's eyes were naturally bright and she touched her palms repeatedly.
The eldest Sun and Mrs. Sun looked at each other, and the eldest Sun said, "This is a great idea. Let all our relatives and friends go to a restaurant to eat, so that your mother and I don't have to go to the kitchen."
"However, if the whole family of relatives and friends is here, including adults and children, it is estimated that there will be four or five tables. The restaurant does not have such big private rooms!"
"If we divide it into several private rooms, it will lose the excitement. What should we do?" asked Da Sun.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
"The lobby of the restaurant can accommodate not just four or five tables, but even forty or fifty tables," she said.
Da Sun said: "This is a good idea, but if we do this, the birthday celebrations here will be noisy, which will affect business!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "The Chuba Restaurant is closed for one day and does not do business with the outside world, so it is here specifically to organize my husband's sixtieth birthday party."
"At that time, we will take all our relatives and friends to the restaurant. We will sit there and eat and drink. There is a stage in the lobby of the restaurant."
"Usually it's used for storytellers to tell stories. When the time comes, I'll invite a troupe to sing a performance to celebrate my grandpa's birthday."
"Some are eating, drinking and having fun. This is much more grand and lively than having a few tables of meals at home. Mom, aunt, what do you think?"
Mrs. Sun listened and looked forward to it, her heart had already flown out.
At this moment, she didn't need to answer. This expression gave Yang Ruoqing the answer she wanted.
"Auntie, what do you think?" Yang Ruoqing asked the eldest Sun again.
Mrs. Sun was also fascinated by what she heard. She came back to her senses after hearing the words, her eyes shining.
"Oh my God, I have never seen a birthday celebrated like this." The woman clicked her tongue.
"Okay, then it's settled. Qing'er, you can figure out the money for the banquet and opera later, and I'll send it to you at night."
Hearing what Da Sun said, Yang Ruoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? Tang Yazi and I will take care of the food, drink and singing."
"This can't be done..."
"What's wrong? I'm the granddaughter of my father-in-law!"
"But……"
"It's no big deal. Mr. Ga gave me a hard time. This opportunity to repay you, whoever among you is trying to snatch it from me, and who else is in a hurry!"
…
Regarding the birthday banquet, although the eldest Sun, Sun, and Yang Ruoqing all said that they would discuss it with their respective men after returning home.
However, this is just a way of respecting the respective men.
The women made a decision, and the men naturally agreed.
There is no other way, Yang Huazhong, his uncle, and Luo Fengtang are all good men who love their wives and value filial piety.
Birds of a feather flock together, good men are concentrated in a concentration camp, haha...
That night, when Sun told Yang Huazhong about Yang Ruoqing's decision, Yang Huazhong was also filled with emotion.
"It's really good that our daughter has this kind of heart," he said.
"It's just that if the restaurant loses a day's business, it will lose some money..." he added. (If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Please go to m.)
