Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"I know, Dad. I'll go talk to him."

"Just tell me what I said, and don't say anything else. I'm not kidding this time. If I didn't come, why would I recognize such an unfilial guy?"

"Yes, Dad."

"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here. There's only a few days left, so go quickly."

Zhao Antong didn't move and hesitated.

Zhao Shanhe asked, "What's the matter? Just say whatever you want to say."

"Dad, how much is the budget? You have to give us the money in advance, otherwise we can't accomplish anything with just empty words."

"Here, go get it yourself. There's a card in the drawer of my study. There's about one million in the card. I don't set a limit. How much you can spend depends on your ability, but you must do it well." Zhao Shanhe took out the key, found the key to the study drawer and handed it to An Tong.

An Tong took the key and went to the study to get the card.

Zhao Shanhu said, "Brother, let's split the cost evenly."

"Second brother, there's no need. It's just a few dollars. How much can you spend?"

"Brother, listen to me. I know you are not short of money, and neither are we, but this money must be shared equally. Celebrating Aunt Chen's birthday is something we do together, and you can't pay for it all by yourself."

"That's right, brother, the money has to be shared equally."

"Okay, okay, let's split the bill. If you don't have time to think about this, why don't you think about what to give Aunt Chen?"

"Brother, speaking of this, I have been thinking about it all night and still can't come up with a clear idea. You have a lot of ideas, do you have any?" asked the third brother.

The three brothers discussed it for a while, and after dinner, the two brothers left.

After An Tong returned the key to Zhao Shanhe, Zhao Shanhe said, "Remember to notify everyone in the family, especially your two aunts. Also call your second grandfather and tell him that you don't need to go to work these few days. Just focus on this matter. Make sure all the details are in place."

In the blink of an eye, it was May 10th.

After eleven o'clock, Zhao Shanhe came to the banquet hall of the hotel. The banquet hall had been decorated in red. There was also a stage with a big word "Shou" on it.

When Zhao Shanhe arrived, most of the younger generations were already there. After looking around, they still didn't see that bastard.

Zhao Antong came over and said, "Dad, Third Grandpa and Second Uncle are drinking tea in the box, please go over and sit down first."

Zhao Shanhe came to the box and sure enough, his third uncle's brothers and several of his brothers-in-law and sisters were there.

After saying hello, several people began to smoke. Zhao Shanhai said, "Brother, you know what, these guys are quite mysterious. I am quite looking forward to it."

"Where's Aunt Chen?"

Zhao Shanhai said, "After my mother had breakfast, she was picked up by An Rong and several daughters-in-law. I don't know where she went."

After chatting for a while, they were invited into the hall by some juniors.

Uncle San said, "Let's not talk about anything else. The atmosphere is here first. It's so popular everywhere."

"Yeah, these guys are still reliable."

When my third uncle celebrated his 60th birthday, he just had a simple celebration. My brothers and I had planned to have a big celebration, but my third uncle stopped us.

The host has already been testing the sound on the stage, and the cameraman is also in place.

Zhao Shanhai said, "I really didn't expect that these guys would even invite a host and a cameraman."

Zhao Anfeng said, "Third Grandfather, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt, please take your seats according to the nameplates."

Only then did everyone realize that there was a nameplate on the table, and Zhao Shanhe and others found their respective seats.

Sitting at the head seat at the main table was the birthday girl, Aunt Chen, and next to her were Uncle Three and Da Ya and Er Ya, and on the right were the three Zhao brothers. There were only a few of them at the table, sitting in a semicircle facing the stage.

Like Gao Peng's brother-in-law and Zhao Shanhe's other brother Zhao Shandong sitting at the table on the left

Qin Jingru and her sisters-in-law sat at a separate table, which was to the right of the main table.

The tables for the younger generation are all in the second row, and are clearly divided from oldest to youngest.

At 11:50 everyone was seated, except Aunt Chen, An Rong, Yiyun and others.

Zhao Shanhe then noticed that An Huan had also come, but he was sitting and writing with his head down. Especially when he looked back, his head was lowered even more. His daughter-in-law He Hua was not there at all.

"That bastard is getting more and more outrageous. He didn't even come over to say hello to Third Grandpa when he came back."

After Zhao Shanhe said this, everyone noticed that An Huan had also come, but he kept his head down.

Uncle San said, "It's okay, Shanhe, as long as the child is back, don't be too angry."

At exactly twelve o'clock, the host on the stage began to speak, first introducing himself. After hearing the introduction, Zhao Shanhe focused his attention on the stage. He just heard who they were, Teacher Zhao and Teacher Ju. Looking at the stage, it was indeed them, and they were still alive.

Zhao Shanhai said, "These guys are awesome. They invited both Mr. Zhao and his teacher here."

"Yeah, before I could only see them when I was watching TV."

After a joyous opening, "Please welcome the birthday boy."

The lights shone towards the door of the banquet hall. The door opened, and An Rong and Yiyun made a grand appearance, supporting Aunt Chen.

"Brother, hit me, am I seeing things? That's our mother."

Aunt Chen was wearing a festive purple cheongsam and had put on makeup. She looked particularly elegant and graceful, at least ten years younger than usual. She was walking slowly towards me.

"Third brother, you are not mistaken, it is Aunt Chen. It seems that this girl took Aunt Chen away to dress up."

Aunt Chen was helped to the armchair in front. There were longevity peaches and other things on the table. Aunt Chen seemed a little nervous after sitting down.

The host introduced Aunt Chen again, how hard she worked, and then the second item was birthday greetings.

According to the order read by the host, Zhao Shanhe and Qin Jingru were the first to pay their respects. Zhao Shanhe and Qin Jingru knelt down directly. Aunt Chen wanted to help them up, but Zhao Shanhe stopped her, "Aunt Chen, it's my duty. Please sit down."

Zhao Shanhe and his wife said birthday greetings and gave a pair of icy jade bracelets.

Then there were Zhao Shanhu and his wife, Zhao Shanhai and his wife, Daya and his wife, and Erya and his wife.

After that, it was Zhao Shandong's nephews and nieces. After the nephews and nieces, it was the grandchildren headed by An Tong. Those grandsons who had wives brought their wives with them, and those who didn't had to go by themselves.

In the end, even Dingwei and the other children were coaxed into kowtow.

After the birthday celebration, everyone stood at the back and took a group photo.

When Aunt Chen came to the table, she was already crying. Zhao Shanhe comforted her, "Aunt Chen, this is your happy day, please don't cry. If you cry, your makeup will be ruined."

Uncle San, Zhao Shanhai, Daya and others also advised, "That's right, don't cry. You are the birthday boy today, you should smile."

"I don't know why I suddenly want to cry. Thank you, mountains and rivers, mountains and lakes."
