My second aunt has a daughter and three sons, and the whole family has nearly fifty people in total.

As for Yang Jing's second uncle's branch, there were also quite a few people. The second uncle had two sons and one daughter. Except for the youngest son who had not yet become a grandfather, the eldest son, Li Yuhua, who was greeting guests at the door, had already become a grandfather, and the second uncle's only daughter had also become a grandmother.

Including Yang Jing's family, there are more than a hundred people in the entire yard.

Although the courtyard where my second uncle lives is a two-story courtyard with five north and six wing rooms and a back house, covering an area of ​​more than 400 square meters, it still looks crowded with so many people gathered in the courtyard.

The second generation of the Li family, that is, Yang Ma's generation, entered the yard, put down the gifts, and went straight into the house to talk with the old man and the old lady. There were quite a few people in Yang Ma's generation, and there were 14 cousins ​​in total. Except for Li Yuhua and his wife who were welcoming guests at the door, Li Yuhua's brother Li Yumin and his wife were busy outside, and everyone else was in the house talking with the old man and the old lady.

Like Yang Jing's grandparents, Yang Jing's second aunt and uncle and first aunt did not come. A few years ago, Yang Jing's second aunt suffered a cerebral thrombosis and was bedridden. Later, Yang Jing took some time to visit her and gave her an injection. Now her second aunt and uncle are in good health.

Then Yang Jing gave acupuncture to his second grandfather, second grandmother and great uncle respectively, so now these elderly people are in good health!

However, they did not come to such occasions. They would come alone in two or three days, and then people of their generation would get together and have a good gathering. Today's occasion was mainly for the children.

Yang Jing's grandparents also plan to come over in two days.

This time, when my second uncle celebrated his 80th birthday, he did not hold a banquet in a hotel, but celebrated it at home.

The courtyard of my second grandfather's house covers an area of ​​more than 400 square meters. In addition to the house, the courtyard in the middle is about 50 to 60 square meters, which can accommodate five or six banquet tables. As for the rest of the banquet, it will be placed in the house. A total of 11 tables will be set up today.

Of course, before the meal begins, when the auspicious time arrives, the first thing to do is for the younger generations to pay their respects to today's birthday celebrants.

For Yang Ma and her four brothers and sisters, today's birthday boy is their uncle. But for the second generation on her second aunt's and first aunt's side, today's birthday boy is their uncle. The relationship is really very close.

So, when the auspicious time came and the younger generations began to pay their respects, all the younger generations, except the two little ones who were still breastfeeding, under the leadership of the second generation, kowtowed to the old birthday man sitting in the main hall, wishing him a happy birthday and presenting him with birthday gifts.

It was natural for the younger generation to kowtow to the birthday god in such an occasion, and no one would object to it. Even the princess did not think it was wrong, but rather felt it was very novel, and followed Yang Jing to kowtow three times to the old birthday god.

In fact, this kind of birthday greeting is also an essence of the ancient Chinese heritage. The Chinese heritage puts "filial piety" first, so when greeting the elders at home, it is natural to kowtow.

To be honest, my second uncle's birthday celebration wasn't that lively this time.

Yang Jing had seen on the news more than once how big families in the south celebrated the birthdays of their elders, often with hundreds of people. The scene was much more lively than today's occasion.

But in the north, it is rare to have more than a hundred people come to celebrate birthdays. Therefore, the smiles on the faces of my second grandfather and second grandmother never faded today.

It took the more than one hundred younger generations more than half an hour just to kowtow, and it was not until almost twelve o'clock that the banquet began.

The food for the banquet was delivered by the hotel. After learning that an old man was celebrating his 80th birthday today, the hotel specially made a bowl of longevity noodles for the old man.

Among the third generation of the Li family, Yang Jing and her sisters are the youngest, just like the cousins ​​from her second aunt's family, who are almost as old as Yang Jing's uncle. Li Yinuo didn't come today. If the little girl came, at her age of fourteen, many people in their twenties would have to call her aunt......

Just like Liu Baojun, the eldest grandson of Yang Jing's second great-aunt's family, who is two years younger than Yang Jing, he still has to call Yang Jing "uncle" and Gege "aunt"...

There is no way, this is because the radish is not big and grows at a different level!
