Chapter 554 The Patriarch's Birthday, the Family Celebrates
Chapter 554 The head of the family celebrates his birthday and the whole family celebrates
In the following time, Aguang and Chen Qi continued to chat for a while.
The content of the conversation was nothing more than ordinary trivial matters.
After sitting for half an hour, Guang stood up and said goodbye.
Two days later, God was very generous and spread the long-lost sunshine to the earth again, and the spring was infinitely beautiful.
Changed from the dullness of the past, today's Chen family courtyard is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and is full of joy.
Outside the courtyard, gongs and drums are noisy, and the doors are like a market.
In the courtyard, red and green flowers danced, and the drums were beating in unison.
Showing all kinds of joy.
Although, the Chen family of [Dongyuan] is not as powerful as the Dai family, nor is it a noble family like the Huang family, nor is it as powerful as the royal Yu family.
However, the Chen family is known as one of the four little dragons of the Dongyuan family, and its power and prestige are unparalleled by few families.
The Chen family has always adhered to the concept of win-win cooperation and made good friends.
During the more than two hundred years since he settled in Dongyuan City, he has gotten along well with other powerful families and has been supported by many people.
Today is the eightieth birthday of Chen Gang, the head of the Chen family.
You should invite friends from all over the world to celebrate this great moment together!
A few days ago, news came out from the Chen family that the head of the Chen family was seriously ill and was dying.
At that time, everyone thought that the grand birthday banquet of the Chen family, which had been planned for a long time, would be cancelled.
But later, the good news came again from the Chen family that the head of the Chen family had recovered from a serious illness.
In this way, it was really joyous, and everyone came to congratulate me one after another.
In the inner courtyard of the Chen family, a wide open-air square is now filled with seats.
Most of the seats have been filled by friends from all over the world, and more people from outside are arriving one after another to pay their respects.
"[Kangde Group] Chairman Fang Guohao sent a set of silkworms to the sky to wish the old master Chen and Nanshan a long-lasting blessing!"
"[Dongyuan] Weng Li, the head of the Weng family, presented a piece of top-quality nanmu to wish the old head Chen a long life of turtles and cranes, and evergreen pines and cypresses!"
"President of the [Huamao Chamber of Commerce], Deng Xinnian presented a pair of golden phoenix bracelets and wished Mr. Chen a prosperous future and good fortune!"
…
There is an endless stream of distinguished guests who come to pay homage to my birthday.
As today's longevity star, Chen Gang is sitting on a grand master's chair, wearing a money shroud, with a glorious face and a bright smile.
The senior members of the Chen family live on two sides.
Chen Gang is old and cannot recognize the many distinguished guests one by one.
The old housekeeper A Guang would introduce him to Chen Gang whenever someone came to pay homage to his birthday, so as not to offend the distinguished guests.
During the break, Chen Gang asked A Guang, "Have you delivered the invitation I asked you to send to Dr. Long?"
Aguang nodded cautiously, "It's been delivered. Mr. Long promised that he would come to attend the old family master's birthday banquet."
Chen Gang nodded with satisfaction, "That Doctor Long saved my life, I really don't know how to thank him.
When he comes later, you must treat him as a distinguished guest, and you must not neglect him, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I know, old master."
While the two were talking, they saw a group of young men and women walking side by side from outside the crowd.
Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people present.
These people are all the younger generation of the Chen family.
The Chen family is a large family with many members.
Counting those who have not returned from their trip or are already married, there are more than thirty people.
This time, it was Chen Gang's 80th birthday. They had already made preparations in advance to celebrate their grandfather's birthday.
In the eyes of outsiders, the head of the Chen family can be said to have a family full of children and grandchildren, and they are enjoying their long life.
First, Chen Hong, the son of Chen Lie, came forward and knelt down and said, "My grandson, Chen Hong, I wish my grandpa may you be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Followed by Chen Yuan's son Chen Kuo, "My grandson Chen Kuo, I wish you good luck and longevity, and Xuan Mao in Beitang!"
Then there is Chen Qian’s daughter Chen Shuang, “Granddaughter Chen Shuang, I wish my grandpa a long life and endless happiness, and always smile!”
Finally, other descendants and grandchildren sent their birthday wishes one after another.
…
Seeing so many descendants, Chen Gang was already smiling from ear to ear.
"Okay, okay, everyone, get up."
As soon as everyone got up, Chen Shuang couldn't wait to step forward.
"Grandpa, this is my gift to you. I hope you are in good health and enjoy it forever."
With that said, Chen Shuang took out an exquisitely wrapped gift box and handed it over.
Chen Gang was a little surprised, "What's in it?"
"This is a sachet."
"Sachet?"
Chen Shuang nodded, "This sachet was obtained by Shuang'er two months ago, when she traveled thousands of miles to the most famous temple in China to pray for you.
I heard that you need to pray continuously for seventy-seven and forty-nine days before the blessing can come true, so Shuang'er stayed there for forty-nine days."
Chen Gang suddenly realized, "That's really hard work for you."
Chen Shuang responded with a smile, "If grandpa can be healthy, no matter how hard Shuang'er works, it will be worth it."
After saying that, Chen Shuang and Chen Qian looked at each other and saw a look of approval in their father Chen Qian's eyes.
The Chen family follows the hereditary family system.
To judge a person's status in the family, one is the position he or she is qualified for in the family, and the other is the degree of respect and trust he receives from the head of the family.
Family positions are generally held by the older generation.
As a young man in the family, he can only improve his status by attracting the attention of the family head.
Chen Kuo was a little unconvinced.
"It's just a sachet. How much is it worth?"
"Grandpa, this is a night pearl from the South China Sea. I heard that if kept in the bedroom for many years, it can not only improve the quality of sleep, but also remove yin and dampness, and prolong life."
Chen Hong shook his head and said, "So what about the South China Sea Night Pearl? It's beautiful but useless."
"Grandpa, look here. This is a thousand-year-old ginseng grown in Changbai Mountain. I went to Changbai Mountain in person and searched for it for a long time before I bought it.
Grandpa, you have just recovered from a serious illness and your body is weak. This thousand-year-old ginseng can just replenish your body."
Chen Shuang laughed and said, "These things you gave me are not as good as my sachet. I got this after being blessed by a great god."
"Sister Shuang'er, it's your fault for saying this. What age is it now, and you still believe in those ghosts and monsters? I don't think the things you gave me are as real as my thousand-year-old ginseng."
Chen Kuo clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Brother Chen Hong, don't say the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. Didn't you really want my luminous pearl at first?
Why do you still dislike it now?"
"You, you are talking nonsense, when did I want your night-light pearl?"
"Last night, you said you wanted to exchange thousands of people for me."
Chen Hong was shocked, "Grandpa, don't listen to Chen Kuo's nonsense, I..."
"Okay! Stop arguing!"
Chen Gang said with a slightly angry look, "You two, forget about quarreling in private on weekdays. We have so many distinguished guests from our Chen family today. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
"I like all the gifts you gave me. Please withdraw them all."
After that, Chen Gang took the gifts from several people and put them aside without even looking at them again.
When Chen Shuang, Chen Kuo, and Chen Hong saw this, they all glared at each other and retreated.
