At noon, the warm sunlight shone through the window and fell on the dining table in the main room.
Yu Chengyuan warmly invited his second uncle and eldest uncle to the main room, preparing to have a lively meal together.
After all, the construction of the house is nearing completion, and it will be finished after a little tidying up this afternoon.
I estimate that all the work will be finished around 3 p.m., at which time I can settle everyone's wages and this time-consuming and laborious matter at home can be considered to have come to a perfect end.
Yu Chengyuan deliberately chose this time to invite his relatives to dinner, so that others would not gossip or talk behind his back.
Among those invited, the hardworking and meritorious village chief was naturally indispensable.
Regardless, Zhou Jianguo was the village head, and he had always treated the Yu family quite well.
Yu Chengyuan was willing to maintain a good relationship with his family, since the village chief's approval was required for any major undertaking in the village.
There's a saying: "Even a powerful dragon can be a local snake," so you can't afford to offend the village chief.
Don't underestimate someone just because they hold a low-ranking position; they still wield considerable power.
Yu Chengyuan stood up, raised his wine glass, and said sincerely, "Father, Mother, Uncle, Second Uncle, Village Chief, and everyone here, I would like to toast you all!"
Our house is finished today! Everyone has worked so hard these past few days, it's all thanks to your help!
Yu Chengyuan rarely drinks alcohol, but today he specially poured himself a full glass.
You should know that filling a glass to the brim when offering a toast is a sign of utmost sincerity.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp, their faces beaming with joy.
Yu Chengyuan then turned to the village chief and said respectfully, "Uncle Zhou, I'd like to offer you a toast separately!"
You've worked tirelessly to supervise the construction for me during this time; your hard work and dedication are truly admirable, and I am sincerely grateful to you!
Village chief Zhou Jianguo waved his hand with a smile, "Of course, of course."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp with great gusto.
During this period, Yu Dazhu's family built a house, and the three of them made a lot of money.
In addition, the income from selling vegetables, eels, and especially crayfish is quite considerable. Now the family has savings of one or two thousand yuan, and they are overjoyed.
Yu Chengyuan turned around to face his parents, his eyes full of respect and love: "Father and Mother, this cup is for you two."
You've all been working so hard lately on the house, it's really exhausting.
"I will work hard in the future to give you a good life!"
"good……"
"good……"
The couple, Yu Dazhu and his wife, nodded repeatedly with satisfaction in their eyes.
My son has become successful and is so filial. What could be more gratifying than this?
As a mother, Pan Cuiping secretly turned away to wipe her tears. Finally, her sons had all become successful.
Yu Dazhu patted his wife on the back and whispered, "Cuiping, everyone's here..."
Pan Cuiping immediately composed herself and quickly composed herself, urging everyone to eat.
Then, Yu Chengyuan looked at his wife Liu Sulan with tender eyes and said, "Wife, I'll toast you with this next glass."
My dear wife, you've suffered a lot since you married me. Without your unwavering support all these years, I wouldn't be where I am today. I want to thank you.
Moreover, you are the number one contributor to our family, having given birth to the eldest granddaughter for the Yu family.
However, since you need a baby who can't drink alcohol, then tea will do instead!
As he spoke, Yu Chengyuan personally poured a cup of tea for his wife.
Liu Sulan blushed at the praise and stood there for a while before picking up her teacup somewhat shyly. "Chengyuan, what I did was nothing, please don't praise me like that."
As husband and wife, we are of one body and mind, and it's only natural that we share joys and sorrows. Don't keep bringing it up; it makes me feel really awkward.
Seeing this, everyone laughed heartily, and the harmonious atmosphere of the family became even stronger.
The village chief and his family were genuinely happy for Yu Dazhu's family as they watched this scene.
Pan Cuiping tugged at her husband's clothes under the table, then glanced at one spot, and Yu Dazhu immediately understood.
Yu Dazhu then raised his glass and said sincerely to the village chief, "Village chief, I would also like to toast you."
You have always taken good care of our main branch. Without you, our main branch would not be where we are today.
Thank you so much!
Zhou Jianguo quickly and modestly replied, "Brother Dazhu, you're too kind."
It is because your two sons are successful and the whole family works together that we have such a good life today.
I simply went with the flow; it didn't take much effort on my part.
As everyone enjoyed the food and drinks, they exchanged pleasantries.
At this moment, Yu Chengyuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with uncontrollable joy on his face, "Uncle, Second Uncle, Chunyan, I have some great news to tell you."
All eyes immediately turned to him, and they eagerly urged, "What good news? Tell us quickly!"
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile, "Today I took my cousin Qiufeng to the People's Hospital. My mother-in-law helped examine my fourth cousin's leg and did various tests."
She said that with just one surgery, her fourth cousin's leg would fully recover, and he could walk like a normal person again!
Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a burst of joyful cheers.
Chunyan's eyes immediately reddened, and she said somewhat incoherently, "Chengyuan, thank you so much, thank you so much Aunt Weng."
For so many years, Qiufeng's leg injury has caused his father-in-law and his family a lot of worry, but now there is finally hope.
The second uncle was so excited that his lips were trembling, his hands were clenched tightly, and he could hardly speak, only repeating over and over again: "Good, good... the second brother's leg can finally be cured."
