Chapter 76

The four days passed quickly, and what made Li Yang very depressed was that Zhang Ying took three days off in a row, which made Li Yang's thoughts of going out to see the house completely disappeared.

In the past four days, apart from receiving customers and sorting out the company's sales accounts after get off work, Li Yang has been reading the few antique books he bought.After understanding the contents of these books, Li Yang finally understood why Wu Xiaoli and Zheng Kaida told him time and time again that the water in the antique industry is too deep. It can be said that counterfeiting has been integrated into the antique industry and is a kind of culture in the bones of antiques.

No matter which antique book, it always mentions how to distinguish falsehoods. Li Yang has a special ability to help. characteristics of something.Of course, these are all achieved with the help of special abilities, and there is nothing that can conceal Li Yang's special abilities, at least in terms of age.

For an old man, the [-]th birthday is an extremely important day. For the children of the old man, this day is also the most important day. Grandpa Wu Xiaoli’s family has prepared for this birthday banquet for more than a month in advance. Guaranteed nothing goes wrong.

Wu Xiaoli's grandfather is named Liu Xuesong. As mentioned earlier, he is the chief professor of Mingyang Museum, and also the master of Mingyang antiques. For a person like this, antiques are the most suitable gift for his birthday.

Elderly people who celebrate their birthdays are called Dashou every tenth day, such as '49th birthday', '59th birthday', '69th birthday' and so on.But this kind of big birthday is not really every ten, but refers to the ages of [-], [-], [-] and so on.Because nine has the largest numerical value among the ten numbers, people formed this custom of "celebrating the nine but not celebrating the ten" in order to seek auspiciousness.

Among these big birthdays, the [-]th birthday is the most important one. In ancient times, the [-]th birthday would be more grand, but now people's living standards have improved, and the retirement age has been postponed, which is the most important thing for the elderly. This time, my birthday has become my [-]th birthday.

There is a saying that "life at seventy is rare since ancient times". For Liu Xuesong's children, it can be said that he has worked hard to raise his two sons and four daughters in the past 70 years, which can be said to be very hard.In particular, Liu Xuesong's wife left early, and the children respected the old man even more. Liu Xuesong just mentioned his wish to celebrate his birthday, and the children got busy. They must make sure that the old man is satisfied without any regrets.

Liu Xuesong is 69 years old this year, and it is the [-]th birthday of Qingjiu. According to the customs of Mingyang, this [-]th birthday is also called a whole life. The whole life gifts include birthday curtains, shrouds, longevity people, and birthday peaches. People who pay attention to it will also increase the customs of longevity opera and longevity.

Most of Liu Xuesong’s children are currently holding relatively important leadership positions, and he himself is an authoritative scholar. There must be many people who come to celebrate such an important birthday. Several of Liu Xuesong’s children discussed it. After agreeing, I decided to put the birthday banquet in the hotel, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough room for so many people at home.

However, putting it in a hotel is bound to conflict with some traditional customs. Fortunately, the elderly are more enlightened and don't care about these.

Early on Sunday morning, members of the Liu family went to the hotel to make arrangements. Liu Xuesong is also a relatively well-known figure in Mingyang. Many retired cadres will come to congratulate him on his birthday, and the specifications cannot be low.

In the apartment, Li Yang was combing his hair in front of the mirror with a comb. He always felt that today's hairstyle was not very good. It would be disrespectful for an old man to bring a messy hairstyle to an old man's birthday party.

After fiddling with the mirror for more than ten minutes, Li Yang finally nodded in satisfaction. Looking at the neat suit on his body, Li Yang casually picked up the gift box on the table and walked out.

As soon as he opened the door, Li Yang was taken aback. Someone was about to smash the door. If Li Yang hadn't stepped back urgently and the hand in front of him stopped there again, that fist might have smashed his head. superior.

"You, what are you doing?"

Li Yang looked at Wu Xiaoli in surprise. Wu Xiaoli was dressed very beautifully today, but even a beautiful girl couldn't raise her fist to hit someone. This action made Wu Xiaoli's ladylike temperament disappear.

"Aren't I here to pick you up?" Wu Xiaoli also stared with big eyes, looking very innocent.

Li Yang smiled wryly, and said, "You don't have to look like this when you pick me up, do you?"

Wu Xiaoli was still holding her hands up at this moment, but was immediately put down when Li Yang reminded her, her face was slightly red, but her eyes were still staring at Li Yang.

"I was about to knock on the door, who knew you came out!"

"Knock on the door?" Li Yang touched his nose: "I remember there is a doorbell, why are you knocking on the door?"

"I forgot if it's alright, let's go!" Wu Xiaoli paused suddenly, glared at Li Yang fiercely, then pulled Li Yang and ran outside, Li Yang hurriedly let go, went back and closed the door before following Wu Xiaoli go out.

The place where Liu Xuesong held his birthday banquet was the best Tianyu Hotel in Mingyang. The entire second floor was occupied by Liu Xuesong's children. As Liu Xuesong's deputy department-level retired cadre, there are still many city leaders today. I will come to congratulate in person, which is also a manifestation of the city leaders' concern for the retired veteran cadres.

Li Yang's Volvo didn't drive, so Wu Xiaoli stuffed it into her car directly. As a direct family member like her granddaughter, Wu Xiaoli had to go to the hotel early to make preparations, so she was so anxious to find Li Yang. Following the past, both of them were ignored.

At the entrance of the hotel, one of Wu Xiaoli's cousins ​​and uncle were already standing at the door. Seeing Li Yang get off Wu Xiaoli's car, both of them were taken aback.

"Uncle, this is my colleague Li Yang, he came here specially to celebrate grandpa's birthday today!"

Wu Xiaoli pulled Li Yang and walked up to the older people. When Li Yang's name was mentioned, Wu Xiaoli's uncle suddenly showed a dazed look, and then stepped forward to shake hands enthusiastically, but Li Yang always felt that his eyes were a little strange. Not only Wu Xiaoli's uncle, but also Wu Xiaoli's cousin.

"Welcome, welcome, Xiao Ming, take Xiaoli and her colleagues inside first!"

After Wu Xiaoli's uncle looked Li Yang up and down carefully, he finally smiled with satisfaction. Wu Xiaoli's cousin also had a weird smile on his face, and he pulled Li Yang inside.

The second floor of the hotel is already in the atmosphere of a birthday banquet. There is a chair in the middle of the banquet hall on the second floor, and there is a big birthday character on the back of the chair. Wu Xiaoli's grandfather is not here, but after the birthday celebration starts, he I will sit here to accept birthday greetings from my children and juniors, which is also an important step in the [-]th birthday.

At the stairway on the second floor, there is also a special reception desk, which is mainly used to receive birthday gifts from visitors. Generally speaking, only close relatives or people with good relationships will give real birthday gifts.Most of the other people who are farther away or just because of favors bring gift money. Liu Xuesong has already ordered these gifts to never be accepted if it exceeds two hundred. Don't let people misunderstand that he is using his life to raise money.

Li Yang handed over the gift box casually, and the receptionist glanced at Li Yang in surprise, the person who could give the gift must be someone close to him, but they obviously had never seen Li Yang in front of them.

The two people who received them saw Wu Xiaoli and his cousin who were following them, and finally nodded together, and then there were strange smiles on their faces. The two people who received them were also from the Liu family.

"Li Yang, sit here for a while, I'll come find you when I'm done!"

Wu Xiaoli took Li Yang to a large table where no one was sitting, and gave instructions with concern that there are quite a lot of guests today, and she also has to go out to receive them.

"Okay, you go to work first!"

Li Yang nodded and looked around the hall. Since Li Yang came earlier, there were not many people in the hall, and no one else came like him. Most of them were sitting there in twos and threes eating melon seeds and chatting .

There is another room at the back of the hall. When someone came in and out, Li Yang happened to see a few old people sitting in it. Presumably Wu Xiaoli's grandfather is in it now, waiting for the birthday ceremony to begin.
