"Grandpa, this is the Pu'er tea cake I gave you. Although it is not as valuable as my cousin's purple clay teapot, it is also a token of my love."
"Grandpa, this is my gift. I wish you good fortune and a long life!"
"Grandpa, and mine, I also wish you good health and a long life.……"
"Grandpa, I am here to wish you happiness every day and success in everything.……"
Several young people also took out their gifts.
Then a group of adults also took out the gifts they had prepared in advance.
""Great, great! You are all good children. It makes me very happy and relieved to see you being so filial to grandpa."
Xiao Yaozhong was also looking at the group of children in front of him with a face full of relief.
At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly looked at Jiang Haitao and Xiao Xiahong, and asked with a smile,"Aunt, why haven't Xiaochuan and Xiaohe come yet?
Is there a traffic jam on the road?"
Xiao Yaozhong has five children in total. Xiao Yi's father is the eldest, and Xiao Xiahong is the third child in the family.
"Yes, second brother, why haven’t any of your three children come yet?
Don’t you know what day it is today?
Even if Jiang Chuan is working, Xiao He and Xiao Xue should have been on vacation, so why didn’t they come over?"
Xiao Yi's father, Xiao Pin, also looked at Jiang Haitao and Xiao Xiahong, and asked with a slightly reproachful tone.
Others also turned their eyes to the two of them.
Because the adults and children in their family are basically all here.
But in their family, except for Jiang Haitao and Xiao Xiahong, none of the three children were present.
If it was an ordinary birthday, it would be fine, but today is their grandfather’s 70th birthday. It is really unreasonable to be absent at this time.
As a junior, they think this is a manifestation of lack of filial piety.……
""Brother, I have already told Xiaochuan, he is on his way here, he should be here soon." Xiao Xiahong also said quickly.
In fact, she also informed Jiang He and Jiang Xue about this matter.
However, the two children have already started working with the help of Xiaochuan.
And they are busy with their work, so they don't have time to come.……
""Brother, please don't talk about my second sister. Xiaochuan from my second sister's family has only been working for less than three years and doesn't have any special skills. His monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan! It's almost the
New Year again, and the traffic may be congested during the Spring Festival travel rush, so it's understandable that you're a little late."
This time it was the third sister Xiao Yanhong who spoke.
She smiled faintly, glanced at Xiao Xiahong, and spoke.
The fourth sister Xiao Caixia also smiled and said,"Yes, brother, Xiaochuan from my second sister's family is not as promising as Xiaoyi.
I guess he hasn't bought a car yet?
Unlike Xiaoyi,���Ji Qingqing already drives a luxury car worth four or five hundred thousand.
Speaking of which, Xiao Yi is really the pride of our Xiao family!"
Say this to curry favor with Xiao Bang and Xiao Yi.
After all, among their family, Xiao Yi is the best at the moment.
If he can establish a good relationship with this nephew, maybe he can find a better job for his two children.
"Aunt, you're too kind! In fact, there are many people of my age who are better than me.
Maybe Xiaochuan is also much better than me now, but he is just more low-key."Xiao Yi also said with a smile at this time.
Although he sounded very low-key, the arrogance and complacency in his eyes were not concealed at all.
After all, in such family gatherings, the better you perform, the more face you will have, and your parents will also benefit from it.
In fact, he doesn't care much about such occasions. The main purpose of participating in such family gatherings is to show off.
Listening to the praises of these elders...
This can greatly satisfy the vanity of young people.
Looking at Xiao Yi with a smug look on his face, Jiang Haitao said lightly,"Tsk! What the hell are you showing off? My son is really ten thousand times better than you.……"
"Oh my! Xiao Yi is so outstanding. He has achieved such a high level at such a young age. He is neither arrogant nor impatient. He is low-key and humble. He will become a great man in the future."Xiao Yanhong and Xiao Caixia also praised him again.
"That’s right, Xiaoyi is indeed the best child in our family."
Xiao Yaozhong also nodded repeatedly, his eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, and he was very happy.
Hearing Xiao Yaozhong's words, Zhou Lijuan on the side glared at him and said unhappily,"Don't talk nonsense, old man! In the eyes of us elders, every child is the best.
In my opinion, Xiaochuan and Xiaohe are also very good and filial children.
It’s just that the children have their own lives and jobs when they grow up. Even if they can’t attend the party, I still feel very happy."
Zhou Lijuan is Xiao Yaozhong’s wife.
In her opinion, no matter whether these children are sitting here or those who are not here, each of them is her heart and soul.
So every child is the best in her mind...
After all, no matter whether a child is excellent or mediocre, he will always be the best in the eyes of his parents.
""Hmph! What do you, a woman, know?" Xiao Yaozhong glanced at Zhou Lijuan unhappily.
Obviously, he liked Xiao Yi the most among the group of children.
After all, he was his eldest grandson, and he was indeed the most promising one among the group of children.
Although some people said that grandsons and granddaughters were the same, in his eyes there was a difference.
A grandson could take care of him in his old age, but a granddaughter might not be...
Just as everyone was chatting, the dishes on the table were all served.
"That's all! Since no one is coming, let's not wait any longer and start eating!"
Seeing that all the dishes were served, Xiao Yaozhong also spoke up.
"Dad, my second sister just said that Xiaochuan is coming back too, why don’t we wait a little longer? ?"
This time it was Xiao Yaozhong’s youngest son Xiao Qiang who spoke.
Xiao Qiang is only 32 years old this year, and he can be considered as Xiao Yaozhong’s late-born son. But Xiao Yaozhong obviously doesn’t like this youngest son as much as his eldest son...
Mainly because Xiao Pin’s son Xiao Yi is so outstanding, and he feels proud when he goes out to talk to others about him.
A father is honored by his son, so Xiao Yaozhong’s favor for Xiao Pin far exceeds that of Xiao Qiang.
Xiao Qiang’s two children, the son is only eight years old, and the daughter has just graduated from kindergarten!
He is already seventy years old, and he can’t rely on these two.
Xiao Yaozhong said coldly,"What are you waiting for? On such an important occasion, do we have to wait for a junior like this?
When Jiangchuan comes later, let him just make do with the couple."
Xiao Pin also immediately echoed,"Yes, yes, yes, let so many of us elders wait for a junior, how big is Jiangchuan’s face?
They are late for something like grandpa's birthday. No wonder they are already in their twenties but have accomplished nothing...
I say, second son, you have to take good care of these three children. It's not decent for some of them to not come to such an important family banquet, and some to be late. Is this how you two teach your children on weekdays?"
Chopin, at this time, criticized them like an elder brother.
""Yes, yes, brother is right!" Jiang Haitao just smiled and did not take Chopin's words to heart.
If his son was mediocre enough, he might be angry and furious after hearing these words.
But his son is countless times better than that Xiao Yi.
Therefore, he would not care at all when hearing such words, let alone get angry!
Zhou Lijuan said a little displeased,"Okay, boss, you are the only one who can do it?
It's not easy for Xiaochuan to find a good job, and most companies are busy at the end of the year, and it's not easy to take leave. Since you are hungry, eat yours quickly. Can't so many delicious foods fill your mouths?"
Every child is a treasure in her heart.
So she doesn't want to see any child being scolded……
"Shut up, let's eat!" Xiao Yaozhong said coldly.
Everyone stopped talking.
"Grandpa, let me toast you a glass!" Xiao Yi immediately poured a glass of wine for each of them and said respectfully
"Great! Grandpa drinks the wine Xiao Yi toasts."
Xiao Yaozhong picked up the wine glass and drank it directly.
At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was opened.
Jiang Chuan also walked in hurriedly.
It may be that this period happened to coincide with the Spring Festival travel rush, so the traffic was indeed very congested.
It took three hours to get to the two-hour journey.
The moment he saw Jiang Chuan coming in, Xiao Yi's mouth curled up a smile.
Because he saw that Jiang Chuan came in empty-handed, this kid, obviously came to cause trouble.
Today, he is destined to be his own background wall!
At this time, Jiang Chuan had already walked in front of the crowd.
He glanced at his parents, and finally looked at Xiao Yaozhong with a guilty face.��"Sorry, Grandpa, there was a traffic jam on the road just now, I am late……"
After saying this, Jiang Chuan immediately took out a small exquisite brocade box from his pocket and quickly handed the box to Xiao Yaozhong.
"Grandpa, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you. I wish you good fortune, longevity, and a happy family life!"
After saying this, Jiang Chuan also handed the brocade box containing the jade ring to Xiao Yaozhong respectfully.
Although every time he went to his uncle's house, his grandfather's attitude towards him was very ordinary.
But no matter what, he is my mother's father and the closest elder, so Jiang Chuan is also very respectful to him.
""Okay, leave now!" Xiao Yaozhong just took the brocade box casually and said lightly.
If it were any other time, he would definitely scold Jiang Chuan, the bad boy, for being late for such a long time.
But today is his 70th birthday, and there are some relatives and friends around him besides his family, so he held back...
Jiang Chuan also naturally sat next to his parents.
Although he knew that Xiao Yaozhong was unhappy, and half of the dishes on the table had been eaten, he was not dissatisfied at all.
After all, it was a fact that he was late, and it was his fault.
Since he was late, he could not blame others.
And he came here to celebrate the birthday, not to eat.
At this moment, Xiao Yi on the opposite side suddenly smiled and said,"Xiao Chuan! What is this you gave grandpa?
Such a small box, could it be a jade pendant or something?"
"Haha! I heard that my cousin is just an ordinary employee, how could he afford to give me jade?"
"That's right! Cousin Xiaochuan is not as successful as you, my cousin.……"
"Being late is fine, but you actually gave such a petty gift, aren't you too useless, cousin?"
Several young people immediately started to speak sarcastically.
Zhou Lijuan's face changed, and she glanced at them coldly, then said unhappily,"Shut up and eat well! Ca n't all these delicious meals shut your mouths?
No matter what Xiaochuan gave, it was his intention, and giving gifts is supposed to be done within one's means.
You are all adults, don't you understand the truth that a small gift is worth a lot of sentiment?"
Seeing that Zhou Lijuan was angry, several young people shut up obediently.
At this moment, Xiaorui from the uncle's family walked in front of Jiangchuan.
"Brother, this is the lobster claw that I just secretly hid for you. I heard that the meat inside is delicious!
Xiao Rui couldn’t bear to eat it, so I left it for you, brother."
Xiao Rui handed a lobster claw to Jiang Chuan with an innocent look on her face. Her little face was pink and tender, with a small braid, she was very cute.
Jiang Chuan gently pinched Xiao Rui's chubby little face, then hugged her in his arms, and said happily,"Xiao Rui is the best to brother!"
"Brother, I have some too. This is the milk I secretly hid for you. It tastes really good."
Another little boy also ran to the river unwillingly.���In front of him, he took out a box of milk from his pocket.
The little boy was about ten years old and was also from my uncle's family.
"Hehe! Thank you, Xiaogang, you are so good.……"Jiang Chuan felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Although he had accomplished nothing in the past few years, these two little cuties at his uncle's house were really good to him.
Every time he went to his uncle's house, they would happily come over to share any delicious food or new toys with him.
The younger uncle was completely different from the older uncle. Every time he went there, he was very enthusiastic and treated him like his own child.
As for the older uncle, he was the same as his cousin...
Every time he went there, he basically looked down on him.
And every time he went there, he would preach in various ways.
It was okay when he was a child, but Jiang Chuan became a little impatient when he grew up.
In fact, the so-called preaching was just to insult his family. Sometimes, they would even say that his parents were incompetent in front of him.
They were all born of the same mother, but the difference in their personalities was huge.
""Okay, let's eat!" Xiao Yaozhong said again, and then everyone started to eat.
At this moment, the restaurant manager suddenly walked in with two bottles of wine in his hand.
One bottle was 1787 Margaux red wine, and the other was 1953 Jinlun Moutai...
After the restaurant manager walked in, he first looked at Jiang Chuan respectfully.
Jiang Chuan shook his head slightly at him...
After all, this was just a family birthday party, and he didn't intend to let these people know his identity
""Waiter, what's the matter with these two bottles of wine? All the wine we ordered just now has been served."
Xiao Yaozhong asked after seeing the waiter coming over.
These two bottles of wine are very valuable, especially the bottle of Moutai, which looks very old. It should be a collection of Moutai.
The cheapest of this kind of wine is estimated to cost more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, so they can't afford it at all.
"Old sir, this is the wine our hotel general manager specially gave you to celebrate your 70th birthday. I wish you a happy birthday.……"
The restaurant manager also said very respectfully.
After all, the chairman was right next to him, and he was also very nervous.
"Your general manager? We don't know him! Why did you give us wine?" Xiao Yaozhong felt very proud.
But he was not stupid. The general manager of Longteng Hotel would definitely not give him such expensive wine for no reason.
"Well, I can't really say. Since it was sent by our general manager, it must have a deep meaning. Our general manager is in a meeting now, and he will come to celebrate the birthday in person after the meeting.
Please enjoy your meal, and let me know if you have any needs."
After saying this respectfully, the restaurant manager looked at Jiang Chuan again, and then left the banquet hall.
"What's going on?
Why would the general manager of Longteng Hotel give me wine for no reason?"Xiao Yaozhong looked confused.
"Dad, could it be that the general manager of this hotel knows Xiao Yi, so he gave it to us for Xiao Yi's sake?"At this time, Xiao Yanhong looked at���Xiao Yi suddenly spoke up.
Because among the people present, except Xiao Yi, no one else has such a big face.
"Yes, yes, yes, what the third sister said is right, Xiaoyi, does the general manager of the Longteng Hotel know you?"
Chopin also hurriedly asked.
His son actually knew the general manager of the Longteng Hotel.
If this matter spreads, he will have more capital to brag about in the future.……
"cough cough……"
Xiao Yi looked at everyone's envious gazes, coughed, and straightened the collar of his suit.
Then he nodded proudly,"Yes, I do know General Manager Feng of Longteng Hotel."
