New Year's Eve is no different from previous years. I am still busy with Lin Xiuqing and Ye's mother. The men patted their butts and played cards after dinner.

After getting the New Year's money, the children even got off the table early, put on new clothes, put on change and firecrackers and snacks in their pockets, and then went out to run wild happily.

For several days, Ye Yaodong relaxed rarely.

The year is busy until the end of the year, and only the days of New Year's Eve and the beginning of the first lunar month can make him relax.

However, this year, the old lady in the fifth day of the lunar month is about to celebrate her birthday, and the fourth day of the lunar month starts to get busy.

I drive a tractor to pull tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks, and I have to prepare dishes in advance according to the menu. Fortunately, their family has a large population, so I can help each one and share a little bit, so I won’t be too busy.

The venue for birthday party holding wine is arranged in workshops. After all, it is a rain awning, surrounded by walls on all sides, the place is spacious and the ground is flat.

Ye Yaodong also bought a large red carpet one day in advance and spread it on the aisles of tables and chairs on both sides in advance, with red embellishments, which instantly gave birth to a festive birthday.

The other brothers and sisters also helped with the arrangement, with the word "longevity" pasted on the wall, and small red lanterns and red ribbons hanging on the ceiling, looking more and more joyful.

The old lady stayed in the decorated venue all day long. Even if she went home for dinner, she would come over immediately after she finished eating, sitting at the door and smiling, looking particularly happy and energetic.

Ye Huimei took a pair of scissors and wanted to cut the old lady's shoulder-length white hair a little smoother.

"Cut it well, go back and wash your hair later, take a shower at night, and celebrate your birthday happily with new clothes tomorrow."

The old lady smiled so hard that she could not see her eyes, and her hands were holding her with wrinkled hands like a tree bark.

"You can do it one by one, just cook a bowl of longevity noodles and two poached eggs, making it so grand..."

"How many 88 years old can you live in your life? The next time you live is 98 years old and 100 years old. Come on, sit down and I'll wrap you a towel."

"Oh, okay, the hard work of the layout looks so beautiful, it's red everywhere, it would be a pity to remove it..."

"Then it will be a little later to dismantle it. It will be festive to hang it for a few days. I'll show you enough."

"How can that work? There must be freed up here for everyone to work, so you can't delay Dongzi's earnings."

"It's not bad for the past few days, and the construction has not started so soon. My third sister-in-law said she will start again on the 16th day of the first lunar month."

"That's good, that's good..."

Ye Huimei cut her shoulder-length hair for the old lady to a little behind her ear, and it was flat.

The old lady smiled and looked around with a round mirror with red plastic frames, looking particularly satisfied.

She took the old lady back and washed her hair.

The ground was covered with red carpets, which looked festive and clean. The children couldn't help but run around on the red carpet, and some naughty children simply lay on it.

Lin Xiuqing was worried that they would dirty the red carpet, so she drove them all out, and then put them away again, and now she just spread them out to check the size.

It will be too late to get up tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be dirt in just a few seconds.

Ye Yaodong stood the carpet against the corner of the wall and said, "Is there anyone with a lot of red silk cloth? Otherwise, I will put a red background behind this wall? Is it a family photo taken tomorrow? It's rare to see it."

Ye’s father happily agreed, “This is OK. I haven’t taken a family photo in several years. I just happened to take a photo while everyone is here tomorrow. The children have grown up quickly and have grown up in recent years.”

Ye’s mother also nodded, “I’ll look for it and see if there are many red cloths.”

"Do you want to hold up the table first?" Ye Chenghai and a few young and bored asked.

"Then you guys will support the table first."

Everyone who has too much strength has no place to use it, so they are busy.

The villagers were bored and they all started to eat melon seeds at the door of their workshop, chatting while eating.

"It's still the old lady who is blessed, has a lot of children and grandchildren, and is filial to celebrate her birthday..."

"Who said no, if I am so glorious when I am old, I will have to leave with a smile when I die."

"It's up to you, your children and grandchildren, and you have to think that you are in trouble if you are not successful."

"Yes, old age is not worth it, it depends entirely on filial piety of children and grandchildren..."

"I want to tell you that the old lady is worth her life. She can still be so glorious when she is old, and she can live to this age."

"Tsk tsk tsk... I heard that there are fifty or sixty tables, and most of the people in the village will come to follow the members."

"The accountant sitting at the door there specially invited them to keep their accounts and favors. I have been standing here for most of the day, and I have watched people constantly come to give favors, and I am so glorious."

After Ye’s mother finished her work, she also came out to chat with everyone. The old lady celebrated her birthday. She was also very glorious with the scenery, her face full of spring breeze, and she smiled before she could speak.

"It's all Dongzi who is filial and said that the old lady is 88. She gave her 90th birthday in advance this year. What other cake did he order? It's said that she had eaten in the Magic City. Foreigners like it very much, and it's very delicious..."

All day long, the village was talking about the old lady's birthday, and people who were idle liked to go around the workshop and glance.

Children also like to go to crowded places and go wherever there is fun. The firecrackers at the door never stopped, and the adults did not drive them away, just pretended that the children were asked to lay red colors on the ground in advance.

The next morning, before dawn, Ye's father and his two brothers drove the tractor to get the reserved ingredients.

Others also got up after dawn to dress up and work hard.

Ye's mother followed a few sisters-in-law and wives from various families to process vegetables and side dishes in advance, clean dishes, and helped her hired 10 or 20 people, but they were all too idle and were used to helping with them.

When they hold banquets in rural areas, they basically help me with their close neighbors and relatives. I help you. It’s not about wages, but they are in charge of a table of seats.

It's still early in the morning now, so they can help them for a while, and change their clothes later, and it's time to make a living.

When the vegetables were shipped back, the sun even more came out, and the workshops on both sides were even more lively.

Ye’s mother looked at the crowd of people watching the fun and didn’t want to wash vegetables anymore. When she heard Ye’s father urging her to go home, she wiped her hands and went home to change into new clothes to toss herself, and brought gold jewelry with her.

The couple is particularly rich when wearing gold necklace, gold ring and gold bracelet. As soon as they go out of their homes, a bunch of people smile and compliment them.

They stood at the entrance of the workshop and were greeting and chatting with relatives and friends who were watching the fun.

Uncle Ye and Erye also changed into new clothes. Like them, they stood at the door and called to see the fun of relatives and friends.

After all, they are close to each other, just in the village. Although it has not yet reached the birthday party, everyone has come and have fun early in the morning when they are idle and have nothing to do.

The old lady also changed into a big red cotton jacket early in the morning, and a red fake flower was tied to her head. Even her shoes were red cotton shoes. It looked particularly festive and you could tell at a glance that she was the protagonist.

She also wore gold earrings, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, and gold rings bought by Ye Yaodong. She was very rich, just like the old ladies of wealthy families in the old society.

She sat at the door of the workshop with a crutch in her hand. Everyone who came to watch the fun came forward to congratulate her.

The old lady had never been so happy. She couldn't close her mouth all morning when she looked at the lively scene.

"Your old lady has never lived in vain in her life..."

"Living to 88 years old, you can still be so mentally. I think it will not be a problem to live for another 10 years. You can celebrate your 100th birthday."

"That is, life is better at home, the elderly eat well, live comfortably, and live long after they have no worries."

"Tsk tsk tsk... Everyone in your family is wearing gold and silver. Look at the gold rings, gold necklaces, bracelets, and all the sets."

Ye’s mother responded with a smile, “These are all bought by Dongzi for us…it doesn’t cost much, you can buy them too…it’s good to look good and be happy.”

"I want to have a gold ring, I wear it on my hands every day and never take it off..."

"There are so many grandchildren of the old lady. There are thirty or forty people in the two generations who have counted together. Are they all here today?"

"You all have to have seven or eight tables..."

"Hey, don't you tell me, there is another one, Ah Hong who went to jail?"

"I haven't come out yet? How many years have passed? Should I come out too? How many years have I been sentenced to that time?"

The smile on Ye’s mother’s face faded, “I was sentenced to 10 years at that time, and I should be in my 8th year this year, and I guess it will be coming out soon.”

"I don't know if I can make a transformation..."

"Afan has been renovated well. In recent years, he has been going overseas to earn money. His family has lived a stable life for several years and has been relaxed. I heard that he has paid back all the money he has taken."

"Isn't it? If you didn't do those evil ways at that time, you would just help me with your Dongzi."

"Yes, who are the ones like Azu and Aguo, have not made a fortune? And those nephews and nephews from your parents' home, earning several thousand yuan a year, and the color TV and refrigerators at home are all tidyed up."

"That's right, it's really harmful to others and yourself."

Everyone said everything and criticized Ye Yaohong from the beginning to the end.

However, people also knew that they could not speak in front of their parents, so they could only slander a few words in front of Ye’s mother.

These people also have circles when talking about gossip.

It is not easy to integrate into their gossip circle.

Seeing that Aunt Ye and Aunt Ye seemed to look here, they all quickly smiled and changed the subject.

"Hey, your two grandsons went to Xiaozai to make money a few years ago. Did they make money? How much is a monthly salary? I heard it's several thousand?"

This question reached the heart of Aunt Ye Er's heart.

"I heard that there are more than 2,000 yuan a month, but they earn money there. I heard that it is difficult to send it back. Haha, I'm just waiting for them to work for a few more years, so when they come back, they can enjoy the fun."

"That's not bad. It's enough for everyone to earn a year. This is a way for your family to make a fortune."

"Isn't it? Only those two children have a promising future. They can earn so much as soon as they go out, and they are not bad with the big boss."

After hearing his second aunt's words, Ye Yaodong tried his best to hold back his laughter.

However, the women around were very envious.

"That's really a boss. You can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month, and you can earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year. If you stay for a few years, you will be worth it and you will get rich."

"Hahaha..." Aunt Ye Er laughed so hard that her body and mind were relaxed when she listened to everyone's compliments?
