Today is grandma he's 80th birthday.

In line with the folk custom of "women over empty, men over full", the younger generation of he family held the birthday party at home for the old woman who was less than 80 years old.

The two old men of the he family did not live in the quadrangles in the city, but in a beautiful hill in the outer suburbs.

When old people get older, they always like to be quiet and get along with nature. They open half an acre of land in front of the door, plant some cucumbers and eggplants, raise three or five little red haired hens, hoe and hoe the grass, feed the chickens and bask in the sun in their spare time every day. It is absolutely the yearning of many old people to recall the glorious youth.

Such a low requirement is nothing for he family.

Since yesterday afternoon, more than 20 junior members of the he family have come to this farmyard from all over the country.

According to the granddaughter's idea, this year's birthday is a reunion dinner for her family. However, her eldest son, he Yunsheng, disagrees. He says that the most important birthdays in one's life are 60, 80 and 100. How can one be careless?

What's more, even if the old people are in the suburbs, where can they afford luxury?

At most, it's just a few more open-air banquets in the courtyard.

Granny he couldn't beat her eldest son, so she had to let her arrange it.

In fact, there are not too many people who are eligible to be invited to the banquet. After all, grandma is a woman, and her influence is much worse than that of he family.

In addition to a few young people who usually have a good relationship with each other, as well as Taoist Du of baiyun temple, they are also three table guests, but there are many children.

Older people always like more children around their knees.

The birthday party starts at noon. Except for the invited brothers and sisters of the Liao family, who are still on their way from Southern Hebei, other guests have arrived in advance.

Since the brothers and sisters of the Liao family are younger generation, the he family didn't treat them as outsiders, so they didn't wait for them.

As a matter of fact, the birthday party is the same for the old people. The younger generation of he family sent a well prepared birthday gift to the old woman. They held their glasses to congratulate the old woman on her birthday. After several children of the important grandchildren kowtowed on the ground and asked for a red envelope, the birthday party was almost finished.

The old man is old. He always has a habitual rest in the afternoon.

After instructing his eldest son, he Yunsheng, to take good care of Du Daochang and others, he went to the back house to have a rest.

After the old man's absence, the younger generation began to let go. Usually, because of work, we don't see each other very much. Naturally, we have to take advantage of today's occasion to have a good time.

Du Daochang wanted to leave early, but he Yunsheng refused. He had to ask him to explain a passage of Tao Te Ching.

Taoist Du readily agreed.

"Everyone be quiet!"

He Yunsheng stood up and clapped his hands: "let's invite Taoist du to tell us a passage of Tao Te Ching. Ha, it's a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity - XiuXiu, you take some children out. These children don't want to listen to this."

XiuXiu, the youngest daughter of he Yunsheng's third brother, had just graduated from university. Naturally, she was not interested in listening to any lectures. She immediately took some children outside to spoil the cucumbers planted by her grandmother.

"Chengping, sunset, Xiucheng, you three come to this table. After Taoist priest Du has finished his scriptures, I'll ask him to show you his palms."

He Yunsheng said with a smile, "don't refuse, Taoist Du. Just take it as the instruction for the younger generation of he family."

He Chengping is the son of he Yunsheng.

He luori and he Xiucheng are the sons of he Yunping, the second younger brother of he Yunsheng. They are two years old apart. They are of the same stature, temperament and even appearance.

However, he luori develops in the army, and he Xiucheng is the Ministry of Commerce.

This is what he family deliberately arranged. He family, as one of the most famous families in China, had already started to arrange the development of his direct descendants in military, political and commercial fields many years ago.

He Yunsheng's third brother, he yunshuang, once had a son in his early years, who was also developing in the army. However, he died in an accident, and XiuXiu was the only one.

With a smile, Taoist Du stroked a few strands of white beard with his left hand, but he didn't refuse: "Mr. Yunsheng is too polite. I won't lecture today. I always say, ha ha, I'm tired of old Taoist. It's better to just talk about it. Ha, I'll just talk about it for the time being, and you can listen to it for the time being. "

The third generation of the he family, the three juniors, all bent down and nodded: "thank you for your guidance."

Du Daochang looks at he Chengping.

He Chengping immediately sat upright and put away his smile.

After staring at he Chengping for a moment, Taoist Du said with a cool smile: "Chengping is a well-known name, which means that you will be safe in your life and will not perform well, but you can stick to the rules and inherit the burden of your father. Good, good. "

After hearing this, he Yunsheng was overjoyed. He even said that Taoist Du had praised his younger generation too much.

He Yunsheng certainly knows what kind of character his son is.

It's definitely a genetic factor. He Chengping inherited his father he Yunsheng's steadiness.

The he family is very satisfied with the current status of the he family. It's enough for the he family not to make a big breakthrough, as long as he can keep his achievements, and he Chengping can keep his "ancestral inheritance", which is absolutely a good thing for the he family.

"You're welcome, Mr. Yunsheng. I'm just talking about it."

After a few words of modesty, Du Daochang looked at the setting sun and immediately said, "the setting sun will shine. After decades of Chengping, he family will surely shine. Good, good! "

After listening to what he said, he Yunsheng quickly said thanks to the two brothers. The three brothers were in high spirits.

Du Daochang has said enough: in the first few decades, he Chengping's steadiness will maintain he's family. After decades, he has accumulated a lot, so he sunset will shine brilliantly and lead he's family to a higher level.

Now, in the next few decades, things will get better and better. Can the three brothers be unhappy?

He didn't think so, but due to the presence of his elders, he bowed respectfully to Lao Du.

Lao Du gently waved his hand, and his eyes fell on he Xiucheng's face.

He Xiucheng is also learning the appearance of two elder brothers, originally lived a face, the appearance that does not smile.

Lao Du scanned his face carefully for several times. In his slightly narrowed eyes, he flashed a strange light, and then slowly said: "Xiucheng, the city is beautiful on the mountain, which is the most outstanding landscape in the world. But... "

He Yunping listened to the old Du Hua Feng, but said these two words, nervous immediately taut up, can't help but cut in and asked: "Taoist Du, but what?"

"It is the so-called wood show in the forest, the wind will destroy it, so is the city."

Du Daochang sighed softly and said: "compared with your two brothers, young master Xiucheng is more intelligent and capable, but you are calm on the surface, but you can't hide your arrogant nature. Under the influence of tutoring, you can always do the best in front of others. But - alas, in a word, young people with outstanding ability must know how to be restrained, don't be carried away by arrogance, and think twice before you act. Only in this way can you laugh to the end and get the result you want. "

In the third generation of the old he family, he Xiucheng is the most capable one, but he is too arrogant and impulsive to do irrational things. If he wants to be the best third generation of the old he family, he must be patient.

Otherwise, the consequences would be terrible.

These words are what Lao Du wants to say.

In the third generation of he family, he Xiucheng is the most popular one among the elders of he family. He Xiucheng not only has the steadiness of his eldest brother he Chengping, but also has the coldness of his second brother he sunset.

He is two years younger than he luori, but from the appearance, he seems to be bigger than his second brother, more like a calm and mature man.

In fact, he's very calm.

For some reasons, he family must know how to keep a low profile, so he Xiucheng is only a small staff member in the environmental protection department, which is the deliberate arrangement of he family's elders.

He Xiucheng did not live up to his expectations. He didn't complain because he was a member of Qingshui Yamen. He always worked there at ease and didn't act like a bully.

Among the elders of he family, he Xiucheng is the most promising.

However, Lao Du implicitly reminds us that he Xiucheng is calm on the surface, but in fact, he is arrogant, arrogant, or irritable.

He Yunsheng and his second brother looked at each other. They both frowned and began to wonder if it was a mistake to arrange he Xiucheng to go there.

"Thank you for your advice. Xiucheng has remembered it."

He Xiucheng was still calm and didn't have any displeasure. He bowed to Lao du to thank him.

As he bent down, a headgear came down from his neck.

Old Du's eyes looked at the pendant quickly and frowned again.

Because he Xiucheng's "future" is not so good, and the banquet atmosphere is somewhat cold. Just when he Yunsheng was laughing and wanted to say something, he XiuXiu ran in and stood at the door, shouting: "third brother, your colleagues have come to see you!"

"Oh, Dad, my colleague lives not far from here. I only knew it yesterday. I inadvertently asked him to come to play. I didn't expect that he really came."

He Xiucheng looked at his father's face and said, "why don't I take him somewhere else?"

He Yunping nodded. He didn't want outsiders to disturb his mother's birthday party.

Looking at he Xiucheng walking out in a hurry, Lao Du sighed. Just as he was shaking his head, he found that he was looking at him. Then he gave a smile and took up his tea cup.

After he Xiucheng went out, he Yunsheng immediately opened the topic, and the atmosphere at the dinner was rejoicing again.

"Mr. Yunsheng, it's getting late. I have to go."

After another chat, Taoist Du asked to leave.

He brothers naturally and affectionately retain some, and then the stars like the moon surrounded him out of the door.

A car, at this time, came from a distance, saw people come out, and quickly stopped at the side of the road.

The door opens and the Liao brothers and sisters get out of the car.

"Why?"

After seeing Liao Shuifen, Du Daochang, who was talking to he Yunsheng, gave a slight sigh, and then his face returned to its natural state, saying in a low voice: "there is too much water, and the city will collapse."

Lao Dao's voice was very low, but he sunset stopped in his ears, and his eyebrows twisted slightly again.

"Ha ha, Taoist Du, we just came here. Are you going to leave now?"

Wearing a black Qipao, like a black peony, Liao Shuifen came up with a smile.

Taoist Du said with a smile: "it's too late to leave. The arrival of the gouache hermit makes Taoist feel cool."

Lao Dao felt cool, but Wang Chen felt cold.

Originally very soft carpet, gave her grave like cold, let her think she was dead.

But she soon came to life, because she clearly heard someone shouting to her: "come on, go to the room!"
