My uncle Xiaoqi’s birthday was celebrated with great fanfare.
There were sixteen tables in total, and there were really a lot of guests coming.
Although there were six or seven tables of neighbors who came to eat with their whole families and children, the remaining ten tables of guests were also quite a lot.
The neighbors don't need to give gifts, but the guests at the ten tables will.
This was probably the highlight of Xiaoqi's great-uncle's life. Half of the people at the ten tables were his son's business friends. No matter if they were just cronies or real friends, they all came to give him face.
Although we didn’t invite any big performers to perform, it was still quite grand.
In fact, this birthday party was partly to celebrate the birthday, and partly to celebrate the renovation of the old house. They demolished the original house and rebuilt it on their own homestead, turning it into a small Western-style building. To put it more nicely, it could be called a villa.
It is a four-story building with a huge crystal chandelier hanging in the first-floor hall. The surrounding walls are tiled with shiny tiles. The pillars at the door are covered with marble, which looks like two children need to hug them. It is very luxurious, a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with Roman style and Chinese ladder fences. I guess they like to do it in any way they want, neither Western nor Chinese. Generally speaking, it has the feeling of a nouveau riche.
The first floor was renovated in the most magnificent and grand way, the bedroom on the second floor was also nice and exquisite, the third floor was hastily decorated, and the fourth floor was still unfinished, so there was a problem with the roof leaking on the fourth floor.
In addition to the large chandelier, there is also a large projector in the yard, which can project images directly from the living room onto the white wall of the yard, just like watching a movie.
There was a lot of noise and the sound of TV programs, it was really lively.
The two nephews from Gumula Village didn't even get a seat, so they just helped with their neighbors, serving dishes, moving wine, and doing housework, and taking time to eat a bite or two in the kitchen.
Sheng Juanhua also helps in the kitchen by serving food, lighting the fire and washing dishes.
The second son, Su Youcai, was the smartest. He went to the front hall early, sat at the guest table and socialized with people.
He also helped his cousin to block the wine, looking like a smart little brother, which made people feel annoyed.
If Xiaoqi saw this scene, he would definitely feel that he was not as good as his father and uncle. Although serving dishes and wine is physical work, at least there is no need to smile or flatter. That feels a different kind of discomfort.
Even more uncomfortable.
Being called "Xiao Su Xiao Su" all the time, the second uncle kept nodding and bowing everywhere with a wine glass in his hand.
The front hall has the best view, like sitting in the middle of a movie theater.
You can watch it directly on the big screen. There are no TV dramas or anything on the big screen at the moment. After all, the content is not coherent. There are just some singing programs or advertisements.
However, my uncle Xiaoqi's son likes to watch the sports channel because he bets on football and is quite interested in sports. So now the big screen is playing the sports channel of Meng City, and they say there will be a football game later.
At 8:40, we were enjoying our wine and half full of food.
Su Youfu was still quite hungry. After all, he was a person who did physical labor all year round. He had been busy all day and had basically eaten nothing.
Su Youqian did the same. He took advantage of the time when firecrackers were set off to go to the kitchen and get some food.
He stood in the busy kitchen, holding a bowl, and randomly filled a bowl with the leftover soup and ate it.
Sheng Juanhua felt sorry for her husband. His legs and feet were not in good condition when it rained, and it hurt more if he stood for a long time, so she made him sit in front of the stove to eat.
Su Youfu sat down, his face red from the fire, but he didn't seem dissatisfied at all. This was basically the treatment he received every time he came to his uncle's house.
Su Youqian was used to it. As a young man, he was being ordered around. He was a bit naive and thought everything about his uncle's family in the city was good.
In the front hall, people were drinking and eating cold dishes.
Su Youcai drank a little too much while drinking with them. He had already secretly vomited once, and his stomach acid came up several times, but he still had a smile on his face.
An interview program started on the big screen.
The host introduces the guests.
The sound is very loud.
Because it was the middle of the banquet and birthday party, some people were lazily watching TV.
Su Xiaoqi, a freshman from Enhua University, was the runner-up in the women's marathon, breaking last year's national women's marathon record by 21 seconds. She also received a 1.21 million RMB award from the "National Speed Race" program sponsored by the National Track and Field Association, the National Sports Federation, and Mingrui Sports.
Su Youcai looked at the big screen and thought that he could earn more than one million just by running. This damn money is too easy to make, it seems like it fell from the sky.
Didn't think much about it.
The groom who got married not long ago, Li Darong, Su Youcai's cousin, Su Youfu's cousin, and Xiaoqi's uncle, was stunned when he saw the people on the screen.
He had a very vivid memory of the girl who came to attend his wedding banquet last time. He had been thinking about her for several days. He felt that there was really a beautiful girl in the remote and poor village of Gumula. His cowardly cousin, who was lame, gave birth to such a beautiful girl. It was like a bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots. The smell on her body, or rather the temperament, was different from theirs.
He was even ridiculed by his wife several times for this.
He didn't have any thoughts about it at first, but he drank too much that day and said a few nonsense words, which led to his wife's ridicule. It left a deep impression on him.
But isn’t that the little girl on TV right now?
She became more beautiful when she went to college.
He had drunk quite a bit of wine today, and turned around to look for his lame cousin. He searched all the tables but couldn't find him. He unexpectedly found him in the corner of the kitchen where the fire was burning, eating with a bowl in his hand.
Seeing him coming, she quickly stood up and said, "Is the food ready? We'll be right there."
Li Darong quickly said, "No, that cousin, oh, and cousin's wife, come with me and take a look, I think I saw your daughter."
Sheng Juanhua didn't like this cousin. He looked like a playboy and a gangster. However, he was said to be doing well in the past two years and had made quite a bit of money. He would never offend anyone who smiled at him. When she saw her husband being dragged out, she was worried that something had happened, so she followed him out.
Then I didn't see anything and the TV channel was changed.
Li Darong was furious and looked everywhere for the remote control. Finally, he found it and switched back to the Mengshi Sports Channel.
Li Darong's actions have attracted quite a few people. Today's birthday boy doesn't know what his son is up to, but he owes his current reputation to his son, so it's not easy to scold him in person. Seeing him pulling out his useless nephew from Gumula Village, he doesn't know what he is going to do.
If you want to tease someone, there is no need to choose this time, even though he doesn't like it.
You have to save face.
Because his son could make money, he was a little afraid of him and didn't say anything.
Watching my son pull out the lame nephew.
At this moment, there was a very beautiful little girl on the TV screen. She was wearing a red sweater, had short hair tied in a small bun, and had a very pretty face. She also looked a little familiar.
"I grew up in a high-altitude area, so maybe my lung capacity is better." The little girl said crisply.
"Do you like running?" asked the host.
"Yes, I run every day, at least 30,000 steps," the little girl replied.
"Cousin, is this your daughter?" Li Darong patted Su Youfu excitedly.
Su Youfu was shaking all over, not saying a word, and shook for a long time.
It was Sheng Juanhua next to her who reacted first: "It's my daughter. She has loved running all over the mountains since she was a child."
Su Youcai also reacted and hurried forward.
Just now he thought his cousin was drunk and was going to cause trouble, so he hid behind.
Su Youqian, who had just followed out with a bowl in hand, said naively, "Why is Xiaoqi on TV? She looks even better than before."
Li Darong patted Su Youfu again and said, "Cousin, you've made a fortune. Your daughter Xiaoqi broke the record in running and won a prize of over one million yuan."
At this time, the new daughter-in-law came out with a big belly. When she heard what her husband said, she immediately thought of the bag she had put for her cousin from the countryside. She had just checked it carefully and felt that it was real. The fake one was not made so well. She also checked it online and found that the bag was more than 8,000 yuan and was the latest model.
Hearing her husband say this, she continued, "Oh, my, I said my cousin's wife carries a bag that costs over 8,000 yuan. She said it was sent by her daughter. I was wondering how a little girl could afford so much money for college. So this is what happened."
