Yes, Chenming has always emphasized that he is his strongest support, so what are we waiting for? Let's just roll up our sleeves and get to work.
The birthday celebration was a grand affair, with almost all the prominent figures in attendance. Of course, the main reason was Grandma's 80th birthday. As for Yan Xiaonan's 20th birthday, that was something only the family knew about.
Ye Chenming has already booked the Wangfu Hotel. He had already made an agreement with Yan Xiaoqiang that he would arrange everything for Nan Nan's birthday and his grandmother's birthday, including the expenses.
Yan Xiaoqiang originally wanted to refuse. Grandma Yan was his mother, and Nan Nan was his daughter. How could he let this kid take care of everything for him?
But Ye Huili's words made him agree willingly. His exact words were: "Your daughter will be my wife in the future. If you don't make Chenming bleed a little now, when will you ever get another chance?"
After agreeing, I felt something was wrong. My Nan Nan is looking for a husband. When did I agree to let her marry into the family? But then I thought about that eight-courtyard house, where both families would live together after the marriage. So, there really wasn't much difference between marrying and being married off.
I felt a bit aggrieved. The old man from the Ye family was too cunning and shrewd, always digging one pit after another for me to fall into. Sigh, as long as Nan Nan is happy, I don't care.
The birthday party was lively, with everyone discussing the club's development, hoping their wallets would soon be fuller, and even more so, hoping to rise to a higher status.
Xue Honggen raised his wine glass to Grandma Yan and said, "Sister-in-law, I wish you a long and healthy life. You are so blessed to have raised so many wonderful children, and even your grandchildren are so outstanding."
Grandma Yan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I am blessed."
Xue Honggen's eyes were a little red. If Aiguo were still alive, this family would be even more perfect.
Aiguo was a soldier he personally trained and specially sent to the border for training. With his qualifications, promotion would be very easy. But for this fame and fortune, he cost his grandson his life. He regrets it deeply.
He blinked, clearing the tears from his eyes, raised his glass, and shouted, "Let's toast Grandma Yan! May she live to be a hundred years old, and may the Yan family achieve even greater success!"
Everyone raised their glasses and downed them in one gulp. The Yan family had gone upstairs; how could they possibly stay downstairs? It was a joke.
After a satisfying meal, it was time for the cake. A margarine cake, a specialty of the 1970s and 80s, was served. Upon opening the box, everyone applauded and cheered.
A large cake with "Grandma Yan's 80th Birthday" written in red in the middle, and the three characters "Yan Xiaonan" formed a long line around the large characters in the middle.
The outermost ring was decorated with buttercream frosting shaped like peaches, along with fresh flowers. This cake is really well made.
Bei Nan told Nan Nan that this cake was made by a pastry chef who had just been hired. Yan Xiao Nan was very satisfied; in this day and age, a pastry chef who could make such a cake was already a top-notch pastry chef.
It turns out that some of the club employees who were recruited this time came, and they showed off all their skills. The kitchen staff were busy cooking one delicious dish after another.
The bar staff mixed all sorts of drinks, including red, yellow, blue, and green ones, and even stuck bright red cherries on the rims of the glasses.
There was also a little girl playing the piano. She was fair-skinned and played the piano very well. Combined with the lively chatter, it was very festive.
Liu Jin and the little girl who plays the piano even played a duet of "Happy Birthday." This drama queen, she can make such a fuss even when she's just playing the piano.
The waiters hired by the club went through a real internship with the waiters of the Wangfu Hotel, learning how to serve dishes, how to change dishes, and how to greet guests. It was an eye-opening experience.
The birthday party reached its climax as everyone sang "Happy Birthday," and buckets of confetti and fireworks exploded, showering everyone with festive cheer.
Yan Ai's cronies kept taking pictures with their cameras, and there were flashes everywhere. They used at least fifty rolls of film today, if not a hundred.
Bao Guo and Bao Dang were even busier. In order to protect the men of the Yan family, the two of them gathered many comrades-in-arms to drink with. Anyone who wanted to drink with Yan Daqiang would definitely have someone else step forward to drink for them.
Seeing that it was almost time, Yan Aidang, Dongnan, Xixin, Beinan, and Tiege left the Wangfu Hotel; they were about to prepare the fireworks.
Fireworks suddenly exploded one after another in front of the Wangfu Hotel, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, dazzling and colorful in the dark night.
Everyone moved to the doorway. Yan Xiaonan helped Grandma Yan stand in the center, while Ye Chenming shamelessly stood next to Yan Xiaonan.
Cuihua also helped Grandma Yan up, looking up at the bright lights in the sky. To her left were her mother and Nannan, and to her right were Qiangzi and his wife and children. With her grandchildren in front of and behind her, she was incredibly happy.
The courtyard was brightly lit, and the excitement hadn't subsided yet, especially for Liu Jin and Wu Jinban, who seemed to have inexhaustible energy, jumping around and playing happily.
Xuemei held Fubao, and Xinan held Duoduo. They stood at the door of the north room, shaking their heads helplessly at the two of them. If they didn't sleep, the two little ones couldn't sleep either.
Southeast asked Xuemei to take the two children inside to sleep. He wanted to talk to Southwest about marriage. His younger brother was too honest, and he needed to remind him.
Southwest whispered to Duoduo to go to sleep with Fubao. Duoduo was really tired, so she nodded and followed Xuemei into the house. Soon, the two children fell asleep.
Southeast looked at Southwest: "Southwest, I have never inquired about your marriage. In my opinion, it is not easy to start a family, and the responsibility is even greater when you have children. However, if this marriage is causing you trouble, then you should end it immediately."
Southwest nodded, realizing that his ability to handle such matters was indeed limited. In his heart, Tang Jianjun and his mother were his master and mistress. One should not forget one's roots; it was his master who led him into the world.
Therefore, for the rest of his life, he will treat Tang Jianjun and his mother as his own parents and be filial to them. As for Tang Xiaoling, it depends on her wishes. If she wants money, he will give her some; if she wants someone, then he's sorry.
Tang Jianjun came today too. Tang Xiaoling originally wanted to come, but Tang Jianjun told her to stay. "It's his birthday, why are you joining in?"
Tang Xiaoling disagreed, saying that her grandmother was her husband's grandmother, so why couldn't she participate? She was also a daughter-in-law of the Yan family.
Tang Jianjun sneered, "She's clearly trying to divorce you, and you still have the nerve to call yourself her wife? Where's your face?"
Tang Xiaoling was furious. "How can you be such a father?"
Tang Jianjun's expression changed, and he said to his mother, "Daughter-in-law, you keep an eye on her today. If she dares to walk out of this door, either sever all ties with her as father and daughter, or break her legs. Let her choose."
Tang Xiaoling gritted her teeth and secretly vowed that when she had money, she would repay him double for how he treated her today.
