Get Seoul Village.
Today is an ordinary day.
But it was an extraordinary day.
The reason is very simple, Tang Qingshan wants to celebrate Aunt Li's birthday.
Eightieth birthday.
Aunt Li married in Hancheng Village in her early years, but lost her husband in middle age. Later, something happened to her son's family, and she became a loner. She has never been very popular in the village.
She never married again and lived on her own one-third of an acre of thin farmland.
Over the years, Aunt Li has taken great care of Tang Qingshan, a migrant family. Earlier, Tang Qingshan was still in prison, and the family's crops were thanks to Aunt Li's help.
Moreover, she treats the Tang Xiaobao brothers and sisters very well, treating them as her own children.
The Tang family will always remember this great kindness.
There were no conditions before, but now Tang Xiaobao has risen like a comet and has become a world-renowned super rich man. After discussion, Tang Qingshan and his wife decided to celebrate Aunt Li's birthday as a sign of filial piety.
At first, Aunt Li strongly opposed it.
But in the end, she compromised.
It’s hard to refuse such kindness.
Besides, she has lived alone for so many years, and deep down in her heart, she naturally hopes that someone will show her filial piety.
She has no children, but she has Tang Qingshan's family, which is very comforting to her.
This incident quickly spread in the village.
Tang Qingshan's words were very clear, he just wanted to celebrate Aunt Li's birthday, the villagers could come if they wanted, and everyone could have a happy meal, that's all.
So, the whole village volunteered to join in to prepare for Aunt Li's eightieth birthday.
And this matter slowly spread further and further.
Later, even the people in the town knew about it.
There is no way, Tang Qingshan and his wife have special status. They are Tang Xiaobao's family members and have attracted much attention from society.
Preparations started a few days in advance.
The banquet will be held at Tang Qingshan's home.
Early in the morning, almost all the men, women, and children in the village came.
There are lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, as if celebrating the New Year, and it is very lively.
Sixty tables were opened, occupying the entire road. There were banners hanging on the roadside. Aunt Li had already put on the birthday clothes bought for her by Tang Qingshan and his wife. She seemed to be in good spirits, but there was still some excitement and excitement between her eyebrows.
perturbed.
Tang Qingshan and his wife were busy and gave orders to take charge of everything.
Banquets held in rural areas are very lively, with many women busy in the kitchen, chickens, ducks, fish...all the ingredients are available.
For this banquet, Tang Qingshan spent a lot of money, and all the ingredients were the best and most expensive.
The Tang family is not short of money now.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a convoy slowly drove into Seoul. There were five cars in total, all Changan cars.
At the banquet, everyone was a little surprised.
Tang Qingshan said that this banquet is mainly for the villagers to have fun. No gifts will be accepted, and no outsiders will be invited to participate.
It's really not necessary.
But now, the sudden arrival of the convoy made them a little confused.
Could this be a guest coming to the banquet?
Tang Qingshan and his wife were sitting in the living room chatting with Aunt Li, when Li Dong from the village hurried in.
"Uncle Tang, a guest is here."
Tang Qingshan was stunned: "Guest? What kind of guest?"
Li Dong looked at Aunt Li with a strange look and said, "They said they are relatives of Aunt Li's mother's family and came here to celebrate her birthday."
"ah?"
Aunt Li was also dumbfounded.
"Relatives from my natal family? Are you mistaken? Are there any relatives from my natal family?"
"But they all say they are your relatives." Li Hu said, "How about Mrs. Li go out and have a look. If they lie, then drive them away."
Tang Qingshan glared at him and said: "What are you talking about? We are guests from afar, so there is no reason to drive people away. But we really have to go and have a look. We can't let people say we have lost our etiquette."
A group of people came out.
Sure enough, the car over there stopped far away, and a dozen people, men, women, old and young, came in total.
They whispered and discussed for a while, and then a man in his fifties led the team over.
"aunt!"
He called Aunt Li aunt.
Aunt Li was completely confused and asked stupidly: "Who are you?"
Her natal family had not moved around for decades. They moved to Seoul in order to get married, but there was a turmoil and the family did not agree. Later, they broke off the relationship with her. Later, almost all her natal family members were no longer alive.
I do have a nephew. The family has moved to a big city outside. Where does this nephew come from?
"I'm a little bitch, you forgot, you hugged me when I was little."
The smile on the man's face and his enthusiasm were a bit artificial.
Aunt Li thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Are you Ergouzi? Oh, I remember, you, why are you here?"
"Didn't I hear that you celebrate your eightieth birthday today, so I brought them with me to celebrate your birthday." The man smiled.
Aunt Li's expression was a little weird, but in the end she sighed and said, "Forget it, we're here now, so go over and sit down quickly, and we'll have a meal before leaving."
"Come on, come on, bring the gifts down."
"No gifts will be accepted."
Aunt Li said seriously: "Qingshan, the rules you set must not be broken. If they insist on giving gifts, they cannot eat. I will go in first."
Her face turned a little gloomy, then she turned and left.
Tang Qingshan was a little confused for a moment.
What's going on?
Doesn't seem very welcoming?
A group of visitors were a little embarrassed.
Tang Qingshan smiled and said: "We are not accepting gifts today, so forget about the gifts. Li Dong, please greet the guests."
After saying that, he took Wu Qingmei and returned to the living room.
"Auntie, what's going on?"
Seeing that Aunt Li was not very happy, Tang Qingshan asked quickly.
Aunt Li sighed and said: "These people, they haven't come to see me for so many years, and they are here today. They must not have any good intentions."
"this--"
Tang Qingshan understood immediately.
But he didn't know how to persuade me.
"Auntie, don't think so much. Today is your eightieth birthday. If you want to be happy, let's just have fun with our own family."
After several people sat for a while, Li Dong came in again. This time, he was even more excited.
"Uncle Tang, Mayor Liu is here."
"Which Mayor Liu?"
"Liu Nengzhu, deputy mayor."
"Why is he here?"
"He has something to do with you and wants you to get out quickly."
Tang Qingshan came out.
Liu Nengzhu quickly pulled him aside and said nervously and excitedly: "Old Tang, I really belong to you."
Tang Qingshan, the second monk, was confused and asked: "What happened?"
"Why didn't you inform us when you were hosting a banquet?"
"I'm throwing a banquet, no. I'm here to celebrate my aunt's birthday, and the villagers will have fun. There's no need to report this. I'm not trying to make money, and I'm not violating any rules."
Tang Qingshan said quickly.
Mayor Liu couldn't laugh or cry: "I said, Old Tang, what are you thinking about? Policies are policies. If you want to hold a banquet, you don't need to register it. Just do it. We can't care about you. What I said is that you should advance in advance."
Just call the branch so that we can celebrate your birthday."
"You are government workers, I understand it's inconvenient. Besides, I really didn't invite anyone."
