Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 82 Returning
To hold a birthday banquet, in fact, there is no certain ceremony.

Children and grandchildren do not kowtow to the elderly.

Grandpa and grandma changed into new clothes, and greeted the guests as hosts as they usually do during the New Year.

Watching seats, pouring tea, passing cigarettes.

The visitor said congratulations, and the old man accepted it gladly.

It can be seen that the two old people are very happy. The grandmother is already rickety, but the grandfather is still very strong, can eat, drink and sleep, and talks and laughs loudly, but the top of his head is already bald.

Because of this birthday banquet, the three brothers and sisters of Zhang Yuanjun also met many relatives who hadn't seen each other for three or five years.

For example, the uncle who lives at the aunt's house on the river beach and works as a teacher in the elementary school in the town.

A niece who is only three years younger than Zhang Yuanjun, but calls her uncle.

There is also a little kid who sleeps in a cradle and is the same generation as his parents and uncles.

The three brothers and sisters didn't have to work, they just sat by the corner stove to enjoy the fire. Some relatives and grandpas wouldn't introduce them to them, but some saw the three of them and said:

"These are the three from your second family, they are so beautiful."

Only then will the grandfather introduce, this is so-and-so, the three brothers and sisters are called people.

Zhang Yuanying couldn't get used to the smell of smoke in the room, so she left with Zhang Yuanjun after sitting for a while.

Several brothers and sisters from Liu Dabin's aunt and uncle's family were on the scene to deal with the visitors.

Zhang Yuanying held his younger brother's arm, and the two walked on the country road.

The two talked about some interesting things in the village when they were young.

"When I was 10 years old, a group of you boys played with fire and burned down the firewood house. You were so frightened that you cried loudly."

This is why Zhang Yuanjun is afraid of fire.

"Dad almost killed me that day."

"That's what you should fight. Is it the leader of you?"

"I brought it. It was the eldest son of the Jiugen family who took us to set off firecrackers. He was the first to run away when it caught fire."

The siblings looked at this and that, and someone with a face on the road asked: "Are you from Xiulian's family?"

"Yes."

"You've grown up so much. You're the boss, right?"

"I am the third child."

"Then this girl is the second child, a twin of a dragon and a phoenix, and she is really well raised."

The siblings greeted each other with awkward smiles.

The two walked from downhill to grandma's house on the uphill.

Grandma and aunt are at home, and uncle has gone to help cook.

Grandma took Zhang Yuanying's hand and said affectionately, "Cub, it's cold, come here."

The aunt is pouring hot water and getting snacks.

The two hurriedly said no.

Grandma asked the two of them how many days they would be back this time, and she was a little upset when she learned that Zhang Yuanjun would leave tomorrow.

After learning that Zhang Yuanying had one week's leave and Zhang Leping had ten days' leave, the old man happily asked them to stay at home.

After chatting for half an hour, the door was pushed open.

Father Zhang came in, and sat by the fire as soon as he entered the door: "It's only December and it's so cold."

"Why are you back so late?" Grandma asked.

"Isn't the capital going to open a branch? I just came back from the capital, and I have to settle the bill at the end of the year. There are many things to do."

"To your mother-in-law's place?"

"My car was parked below, and I said hello and came up."

Zhang Yuanjun poured his father a cup of hot water.

Father Zhang asked about the situation at home and learned that everything was fine.

"It's just that Le'an's marriage has not been settled."

"Still disagree?"

"I don't agree, I think Le'an has no education and no serious job."

In the first few years, Zhang Le'an was very stubborn, unwilling to accept the help of his second uncle. After a few years of encounter, he obediently became an apprentice in Yu Jiangnan's back kitchen.

Zhang's father promised that he would start working immediately after graduation.

"No matter how the world changes, people still have to eat, and if they want to eat, they must have a chef." Zhang's father persuaded him at the time, "The chef doesn't care about your diploma, and you don't have to be afraid to travel all over the world after learning the craft."

"The girl's eyesight is also poor at home, so it seems that Leping is not doing well now. After she learns, she earns two to three thousand yuan a month, and the girl comes with her. She does whatever she wants, stays in a hotel for food and lodging, and doesn't waste money. The couple saves thirty to forty thousand yuan a year with their eyes closed." Zhang's father also intends to help his nephew.

"That's what I told her family. They said that an uncle is always an uncle, and what is owed must always be paid back."

"It's scary to say." Zhang's father scoffed at the woman's thoughts, "I will still treat my own nephew badly?"

Zhang Yuanjun and Zhang Yuanying listened to the commotion and exchanged glances, and they both read the meaning of "better knowledge" from each other's eyes.

As soon as he said a few words, the door was pushed open, and a loud voice yelled: "It's time to eat, Dong Gen, you are sitting on the table today, and you are still nesting here. Take your family away."

"What kind of table should I sit on? Let the boss sit." Father Zhang agreed with a smile, and took the whole family out to the auditorium.

The meeting started at 11:[-] noon, Zhang's father refused twice, but was still pulled to the main table to sit with his grandparents.

Zhang Yuanjun and other juniors are naturally at other tables.

For some people, this kind of banquet is just a meal, and for others, it is an important social occasion.

Zhang Yuanjun just wanted to finish his meal and leave quickly, and focus on eating and not caring about other things.

Today's meal is indeed much better than the country banquet he ate before, the good news is not in vain.

When Zhang Yuanjun went to serve the second bowl of rice, there was a neat hum in the already noisy auditorium.

A group of five people came in from the door.

Zhang Yuanjun had never seen it before, but after hearing it, he said that the leaders of the town and county came to pay respects to the old man's birthday.

Why pay birthday wishes to the elderly, my grandparents are ordinary rural old men and women, town and county leaders come to pay birthday wishes?who believe.

It must be for Father Zhang.

Zhang's father is 365 days a year. Except for returning to Luling during the Chinese New Year, he is basically not in his hometown at other times. They can't see anyone they want.

The main table was very lively, pushing and pulling, pulling a few leaders to sit down.

The village head and village party secretary who were on the table before came down.

Zhang Yuanjun was not interested in these things, so he continued to eat.

"Do you smoke?" An unknown aunt at the same table asked, holding the Xiyan on the table.

No one answered.

The aunt laughed and said, "I took it if no one smoked it. It's a good cigarette, and it costs more than twenty yuan a pack."

The three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family just smiled, and after finishing their meal, they put down their bowls and chopsticks and left.

Sure enough, an hour passed, the banquet was over, the grandparents had finished eating and went home, and Father Zhang and the leaders were still sitting in the auditorium talking.

It was not until 2 o'clock in the afternoon that the leaders left in the car with a happy face.

Zhang's father came back with a heavy and tired body, and his mother asked him to lie down in the room.

My father said no, so he sat by the fire and talked with his family, but before he said a few words, he was dozing off with his head down and his eyes squinted.

There is no treat at night, and my family eats together.

As soon as I ate, someone came to the door and asked for an account reconciliation.

Zhang Yuanjun's uncle said: "They are all from my own family. If you agree with me, just come to me for reimbursement."

"That's not the way to say it. A sum is a sum. They are all from the village. The friendship of several lifetimes must be calculated clearly, otherwise the relationship will be hurt."

"Okay, let's do the math."

The Zhang family did not participate in the settlement, and the family went back in two cars after dinner.

At noon the next day, Zhang Yuanjun bid farewell to his parents, siblings, and set off for the set alone.

　I wrote these because I want to leave the city and use the rural life to make adjustments, and the second is to pave the way for the family business in the future.
