"I can also give you 3 million and transfer the money immediately. Otherwise, how about calling me too?" Lin Hao, who appeared out of nowhere, interrupted with a smirk.
Zheng Gan glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't force me to slap you on such a happy day."
Forget about others, but what the hell are you dreaming about, Lin Hao? You are the one who is causing the trouble.
When Zhao Xing saw that Lin Hao had the same idea, he immediately put his arm around Lin Hao's shoulder and went to a corner to discuss it.
Regardless of these two bitches, Zheng Gan continued to do his job of welcoming guests at the door.
Almost everyone has arrived. The relatives at the table all came with him in the morning, and the only one who hasn't come to the friends' table is Wang Dongqiang, who lives closest to them.
"It seems like I received quite a bit of money in red envelopes today, and there were also gifts from Zhao Xing, Liu Feng and the others." Zheng Gan began to daydream out of boredom.
Today is the first birthday party, and all the invited relatives and friends will bring a red envelope to wish him a happy birthday. Now everyone is hoping that Zheng Gan will live a good life, and the thickness of the red envelopes is quite good.
Grandma's family used to have the worst conditions, but now Jiang Feng has saved a lot of money by working with him. His uncle Jiang Fusheng is also doing well in the restaurant and has some dividends from shares, so their red envelopes are quite generous.
Not to mention Lin Gang and his wife and Qiao Zhengdong and the others, the thickness of their red envelopes was scary.
As for Lin Hao, he just handed over a bank card without saying anything and said there was 288,000 yuan in it, and asked his niece Xiao Yueyue to buy as much as she wanted.
Of course, no matter how much this guy gave him, Zheng Gan would take it. After all, he would have to pay it back when he got married in a while, and even double the amount.
It didn't take long before Wang Dongqiang came over. He was actually very busy today and had just rushed back from the city.
"Uncle Qiang, thank you for your hard work. You've been driving for such a long time." Zheng Gan walked forward with a smirk, and stretched out his right hand pretending to be casual. The meaning was too obvious.
"If I hadn't come, you would probably hate me for the rest of your life. Well, this is for you." Wang Dongqiang's face was full of sarcasm.
As soon as Zheng Gan got the red envelope, he quickly put it in his pocket, and the smile on his face became even wider. "Oh, Uncle Qiang, you are too polite. We two don't need these."
"Stop talking nonsense. You're still being polite. Your hand is almost reaching into my pocket." Wang Dongqiang was speechless. "Alright, alright, hurry in. I'm going to talk to Brother Qiao and the others first."
After saying that, he strode towards the middle-aged and elderly chat group.
Zheng Gan looked at the time and found that it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. All the red envelopes had been received, and it was time to move on to the next important activity, the "Zhuazhou" ceremony!
Although people nowadays always say that the things passed down by our ancestors are not good in some way or that way and cannot keep up with the times, there are actually still many essences in them.
For example, the folk custom of "Zhuazhou" (grabbing the week-old) which has been passed down from the Southern and Northern Dynasties is a ceremony held when a child is one year old to predict their future and temperament. It is also a way to celebrate their first birthday.
As the saying goes, you can tell a person’s future by the age of three. To a large extent, how a person is when he is young will not change much in the future.
Of course, this is also to see how the children's parents carry out their enlightenment education. Although many people are not superstitious now, the ceremony of grabbing the week has been preserved.
At this time, all the relatives and friends who came to attend Yueyue’s first birthday party had gathered together. Various utensils were placed on the big table in front of them, such as pens, ink, paper, inkstone, snacks and toys.
"My dear girl, you can catch any one you want. Your father has already saved up a dowry for you." Zheng Gan put Xiao Yueyue on the table and encouraged her.
Everyone present rolled their eyes. Who would encourage a child like this? However, it was also obvious that Zheng Gan really loved his daughter to death.
But it's strange to say, Xiao Yueyue has been very well-behaved since she was born. She rarely cries unreasonably and usually has a smile on her little face. She also inherited the looks of Qiao Xin and Zheng Gan, so she is very cute.
So Xiao Yueyue is definitely the darling of the whole family, and her status is unshakable.
After hearing what his father said, Xiao Yueyue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the things around him and slowly crawled out.
"Snacks and toys?" Everyone laughed when they saw Xiao Yueyue stopped in this area. Doesn't this mean that she will have a good time in the future and will be good at enjoying herself in the moment?
"You're really like your father in this respect. You've only known how to eat since you were young." Wu Sujuan couldn't help laughing out loud.
This is the truth. Zheng Gan has loved eating since he was a child and has not changed until now.
However, Xiao Yueyue only stopped in front of the snacks and toys for a short while before giving up. She turned and went in another direction, picked up the things in front of her very quickly, and then just grinned.
"It's a pen! Haha, doesn't this mean that our Xiao Yueyue will definitely be a talented girl in the future!" Qiao Zhengdong laughed loudly, extremely satisfied.
Everyone was also very satisfied. Among so many things given for the one-year-old celebration, this item had a very good meaning.
Only Zheng Gan was muttering quietly.
"Please don't ever become a hopeless online writer. Please don't. Your dad and I are rich. We don't need those little things."
This made Qiao Xin, who was standing by, burst out laughing, but she did not object. Being an online writer was indeed not a good thing.
After the one-year-old ceremony, it was time to celebrate. All the delicious food was served on the table. Zheng Gan spent a lot of money today. Every table was filled with Feitian Maozi and top-grade red wine. He spent 100,000 yuan just on these drinks.
The dishes on the table were even more luxurious. All the top-quality seafood from Wang Dongqiang's seafood store were on the table. He even specially got a fresh bluefin tuna for the occasion. He also bought a lot of top-quality wagyu beef. The luxurious standard made even the wild yellow croaker weighing more than three kilograms seem less precious.
According to conservative estimates, two tables for today's anniversary banquet may not even cost 200,000 yuan, which is indeed a bit extravagant.
But Zheng Gan said that this is his daughter's first birthday, and it must be celebrated to the highest standards, otherwise it would be unfair to the polite Xiao Yueyue.
"Don't worry, my wife. When our child turns one year old, we will do something no worse than this." Lin Hao said to Jiang Xiaolin with a flattering face. He said that he had seen the envy in his wife's eyes.
"Do you think I envy my brother's status? I envy Xiao Yueyue for being pretty and sensible, okay?" Jiang Xiaolin sighed, speechless at her man's IQ.
