Chapter 195: Yao Po flies high, and nine out of ten sons pass the imperial examinations

As the saying goes, "every ten miles has different customs, and every hundred miles has different customs." The customs and habits of each place are different.

In Shuangwang Realm, no matter what kind of wedding event it is, it is scheduled in the morning, and correspondingly, if it is a funeral, it must be held in the afternoon.

However, in many places in Bobai County, the practice is the opposite: weddings are held in the afternoon, while funerals are held in the morning.

This custom has been passed down from generation to generation and has its own reasons. We just need to respect each other.

According to the customs of Shuangwang, Deng Shirong held a full-month banquet for his eldest granddaughter and naturally set the time in the morning.

On the seventeenth, Deng Shirong got up early and directed people to do things.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Deng Shirong carried his eldest granddaughter to the A-Zugong Hall to worship their ancestors. There was a particularly interesting part when worshiping their ancestors, where the grandfather or grandmother would hold the child, walk to the door of the A-Zugong Hall, look up at the sky and start singing auspicious rhymes.

This jingle is very rhyming and can only be expressed in Hakka dialect. It goes like this: "Yaopo (a bird flying in the sky, the author can't remember its scientific name, anyway, it's transliterated as Yaopo in Hakka dialect) flies high, nine out of ten sons will pass the imperial examinations; Yaopo flies low, and next year you will take care of your younger brother (which means giving birth to a younger brother next year)..."

This part is quite interesting, so many people came to watch it.

Deng Shirong held his eldest granddaughter in his arms and shouted a lot of auspicious rhymes to the sky, then set off a string of firecrackers. Then he returned to the ancestral hall, clasped his hands together and saluted, and the ceremony of ancestor worship was completed.

The banquet officially started at around ten o'clock in the morning.

Before the meal started, something happened that amazed all the guests: taking photos.

For his eldest granddaughter's full moon banquet, Deng Shirong specially paid for someone from Shuangwang Photo Studio to help take photos.

Deng Shirong, who has experienced later generations, naturally knows how rare it is to preserve some photos in this era.

In twenty or thirty years, these photos will become the most precious memories for their children and grandchildren. For Deng Shirong, spending a little more money on them is well worth it.

According to Deng Shirong's request, in addition to taking a separate photo of each family member holding their child, they also wanted to take a photo of their eldest son and his family of three, as well as a group photo of family members and relatives.

We even have to take a few background photos, such as photos of the banquet starting, photos of members of the BR County Troupe performing on stage, and photos of people from a dozen villages rushing to watch the show. These background photos can well record the grand occasion of the eldest granddaughter's full moon banquet.

Deng Shirong has already made up his mind to keep these photos and show them to his eldest granddaughter when she grows up. He believes that she will be surprised by them.

Because the whole Bobai County attaches great importance to the full-month banquet, especially for families who have a son as their first child, nine out of ten will hold a full-month banquet, so it is not surprising to hold a full-month banquet. However, there is no other family like Deng Shirong's family who held such a grand full-month banquet for a daughter.

Wow, it was already very awesome to invite the county drama troupe to perform, and they also asked people from the photo studio to come and help take pictures. This series of actions really shocked everyone.

The young wives looked at Zhang Xiuping with extreme envy. If they gave birth to a daughter, they would be treated so well by their husband's family. If they gave birth to a son, wouldn't they be praised by their husband's family? This life is really good! Compared with the envy of others, Zhang's mother, who got a few photos, was very happy.

This time, her in-laws were holding a full-month banquet for her granddaughter, and they also invited many relatives and friends from Poxin Village. Now that her granddaughter's full-month banquet was so "earth-shaking", Zhang's mother was very proud in front of so many relatives and friends.

It is normal to feel happy in your heart.

…

For seven consecutive days, there were crowds of people in front of Deng Shirong's house. In this age of extreme lack of entertainment, few people can resist the temptation of drama. As long as they can spare the time, no one wants to miss this rare opportunity to watch a drama.

Until the end of the play "A Flower", people who came from all over the country to watch the play left with a lingering feeling.

After the troupe members packed their luggage, Director Zhou took them to greet Deng Shirong and said, "Uncle Jiu, thank you for your hospitality these days. We will go back first and see you again if there is a chance."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Captain Zhou, I will probably be staying in the county town for a while after the New Year. If you are not afraid of me disturbing you, I will go to you for tea then."

Director Zhou said sincerely, "What's the big deal? It's an honor for our troupe to have a distinguished guest like you, Uncle Jiu. I'll make the bed ready for you."

"Captain Zhou, your words are enough. See you in the county town next year."

"Well, Uncle Jiu, you are always welcome to come."

…

The full moon banquet for the eldest granddaughter had just been held, and Deng Shirong's loan of 800,000 yuan had also arrived.

Holding the passbook and seeing the balance displayed on it, Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Deng Shirong had already planned the purpose of this loan.

Deng Shirong planned to use the 500,000 yuan to purchase a courtyard house in Beijing. He didn't need to buy too many, just one for each of his seven children.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

With these seven courtyard houses, it can be guaranteed that all seven children will become billionaires in the future.

The remaining three hundred thousand was used to build a building and open a restaurant in the county town.

Deng Shirong's plan for his eldest son is to let him run a chain of supermarkets in the future. However, since it is still early in the timeline, supply of goods is a big problem for opening a supermarket, so he let him open a restaurant first and switch to running a supermarket when the time is right.

At that time, this restaurant will be left to the eldest daughter to run.

If my eldest daughter can grow up, I can also let her get involved in the hotel industry.

Of course, this is the most ideal state, and it must be achieved step by step.

It would naturally be a good thing if his children had the business ability and could realize his plans.

If his children are unable to run a restaurant or supermarket under his guidance, there is no need to force them. It is enough for them to be ordinary billionaires.

…

After getting the money, Deng Shirong wanted to fly to Beijing right away to settle the matter of the Siheyuan first, but the Spring Festival travel rush was approaching, and riding in a car was already a life-threatening task. Wouldn't it be pure suffering to join the crowd during this period? Anyway, the price of Siheyuan in Beijing should not change in the next one or two years, so he could just stay at home and spend the New Year comfortably, and it wouldn't be too late to do it after the New Year.

Thinking of this, Deng Shirong was not in a hurry to buy a house in Beijing, but continued to stay in his hometown and live his leisurely life.
