Xu Shiyan didn't know why Mr. Chu asked him to go back and get the notebook, but since the master told him, he would definitely do it.
So I hurried back to my home and found a red plastic work diary from the drawer Chu Xuanhuai mentioned.
"Master, is this what you are talking about?" Xu Shiyan handed the small red book to Chu Xuanhuai.
Chu Xuanhuai waved her hand, "No need to give it to me.
Just call them according to the phone number written in this book, and say that you are my apprentice, Chu Xuanhuai.
Tell them that on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, I will go to the Changbaishan Hotel in the provincial capital to celebrate my eightieth birthday."
"Oh, okay, I understand, I'll call now." Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment.
Chu Xuanhuai is eighty-one years old this year, and his birthday is March 28th.
It stands to reason that you should celebrate your birthday this year, but two months earlier? What kind of operation is this?
But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no problem, and this is also said locally.
When an old person is over sixty-six years old, or when his whole life is over, the month will not be counted according to the real month, but will be moved to the first month.
I don’t know exactly why, but some people do it anyway.
Thinking about it, Chu Xuanhuai thought that since everyone was idle in the first month, they would have time to attend the birthday party, right?
That's fine. The old man is celebrating his eightieth birthday and should really take care of himself.
Just like that, Xu Shiyan picked up the phone and started making calls according to the notebook.
The phone number can usually be connected, and long distance calls will be forwarded.
There are also some numbers that have been upgraded, and the transfer station will remind you that the number can be called after the upgrade.
When the other party received the call and heard that it was Chu Xuanhuai who was celebrating his eightieth birthday, he immediately agreed and would definitely be there.
Even though it's just a small book, there are quite a few phone numbers recorded on it.
Xu Shiyan did nothing else but made dozens of phone calls. At least he had notified everyone.
"Master, we have informed you. The other party said that he will definitely go when the time comes." Xu Shiyan returned the small book to Chu Xuanhuai.
Chu Xuanhuai waved her hand but did not take it, "Give it to Yuanyuan and let him hold it.
If anything happens in the future, just call these people, these are all my former students."
The old man has been a professor at North China Medical University since liberation. Over the years, he has students all over the country.
These are just some of them. Of course, they are also students who have a very close relationship with Chu Xuanhuai and are very valued by him.
"Ah? Master, isn't this inappropriate?" Xu Shiyan felt a little stupid now. What is the old man doing?
"It's okay, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that I'm getting older and my memory is getting worse.
Sooner or later, I have to give these to Yuanyuan and let him keep them for me."
Chu Xuanhuai understood what Xu Shiyan was worried about, and immediately smiled, waving his hands while laughing.
"I'm fine, nothing happened. Don't worry, I won't be so sad and uncomfortable that I don't want to live just because of these two beasts. I won't.
I still have to train Yuanyuan well. If I don’t train this child to be a talented person, how can I rest assured?”
You are an eighty-year-old person who has never experienced anything. How can you be so indifferent to seeking life and death just for this little thing?
He didn't care about those two weaklings for a long time.
Hearing what the master said, Xu Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the old man can think openly.
He was really worried that if someone at such an old age got angry because of this, what would happen if something happened?
"Okay, then let him keep it. If Master wants to find someone in the future, just ask Yuanyuan to call or write for you, it doesn't matter."
"Master, if you want to hold a birthday banquet at Changbai Mountain Hotel, do I have to find someone to make a reservation in advance?"
The old man has been in the provincial capital for so many years and has many connections.
It’s my 80th birthday. I guess the venue won’t be small, so I’d better reserve a place in advance.
"You don't have to worry about it, someone will order it."
Chu Xuanhuai waved his hand and said Xu Shiyan didn't need to worry about this matter. Someone was on the phone just now to take care of it.
"Both you and Yuanyuan take a few days off and accompany me back to the provincial capital. I have to go back and deal with some things. We will come back after we finish them."
In the past few years, Chu Xuanhuai has lived quite comfortably in Donggang.
Just because I was in good shape, I didn't rush to deal with matters in the provincial capital.
When Chu Yuan came to them today, the old man realized that he should handle all the matters that needed to be dealt with before he was confused, so as not to cause trouble to his disciples in the future.
Since Chu Xuanhuai said so, Xu Shiyan had no time to do anything else.
I just reminded myself to find an opportunity to call the provincial capital and ask about the hotel.
If no one decides, he will decide quickly.
No matter how much it costs, the old man only has one eightieth birthday, so it must be done well to make the old man happy.
"Okay, then you can chat. I'm getting older and I'm not in good spirits. I have to go back and rest for a while.
Yuanyuan, let’s go and help the master go home.” It was getting late, and Chu Xuanhuai was about to go back to rest.
Xu Shiyan took a look and realized that it was indeed getting late, and he should go back home to light a fire or something.
So he and his son supported Chu Xuanhuai on one side and sent him back to rest.
Then Xu Shiyan quickly went to heat up the kang and the boiler before returning to his parents' place.
Xu Shi'an's family also stayed here for a long time, and they wanted to go home and light a fire.
Xu Shiyan took a look and drove his second brother's family of four back to the other side of the Sentie.
There was plenty of room here for Xu Chenghou, so Xu Shixian and others stayed overnight.
The children, on the other hand, all went to Xu Shiyan's house to watch the 21-inch large color TV.
A group of children went to bed noisily until almost ten o'clock, and slept until about seven o'clock the next morning. Then they got up, washed up, and went back to their grandparents' house for breakfast.
The third day of the first lunar month is the day to return to her parents' home, so Su Anying's sisters-in-law naturally have to go back to their parents' homes respectively.
Fortunately, the Su's house was close. After breakfast, the couple took their four children and walked to the Su's house.
The Su family also had a great reunion today. The six girls brought their uncle and children back, and everyone gathered together happily, feeling extremely happy.
Especially Ji Tongzhong and Nan Zhendong, who followed Xu Shiyan and his wife last year, made money, and their lives are getting better and better. Naturally, they can't hide the smiles on their faces.
"Second brother-in-law, I have already made an agreement with An Zhen. We will contract out the land and we will not plant it ourselves.
We are looking for a house in Donggang right now, but if we can't find it, we will buy a house when the weather gets warmer, build one ourselves, and then move here."
Nan Zhendong earned tens of thousands last year. He finally figured it out. There was no development in Daying. If he wanted to live a good life, he had to move here.
When the time comes, follow Xu Shiyan to do some business, do some business, etc., and catch up with those who have been in the camp for several years in one year, no fool will not move.
"Okay, that's good. Let Xiaoji and Shengli look for it for you.
If you really don’t like it, you can just buy a house and build it yourself.”
Donggang is not too densely populated at this time, and there are still housing estates. It is actually more cost-effective to build a house together than to buy a house.
"Then does Xiaoming have to transfer here to go to school?"
Nan Xiaoming was born in 1980 and is in the second grade this year.
Nan Xiaoliang is in 1983 and will go to elementary school next fall. He should be placed in the Yuhong class now.
"Let's first see where the house is. If it's too far away from Donggang Primary School, I'll arrange for Xiaoming to go to Shenchang Primary School. The teaching quality is good."
