  Chapter 64 National Day Family Banquet

  National Day, it is the season of clear autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the geese flying south can be seen.

  Ding Mu's family of three drove to the grandfather's small yard on the East Second Ring Road with some special-grade chicken, duck, fish, rice noodles, oil and salt. Grandpa is exercising in the yard. The old man is also from the military. Although he is engaged in civilian work, it is said that he was also a good man with both civil and military skills. Even in his octogenarian years, he is still deaf and blind. When exercising, hold a rather heavy solid iron rod, swing it three times to the left and three times to the right, dancing like a tiger and a tiger.

   "Grandpa, here I come!" Ding Mu greeted as soon as he entered the courtyard.

   "My grandson is here, old woman, grandson is here." Seeing Ding Mu coming, grandpa was very happy, he poked the iron stick on the ground, stood on the ground, and called out to grandma who was chopping stuffing in the kitchen.

  Grandma came out of the kitchen quickly. Seeing that Ding Mu had grown so tall, her eyes were red with joy. She wiped her hands on the apron, grabbed Ding Mu's hand, and kept asking questions.

  Grandpa thought grandma was nagging, so he repeated his words over and over again, and then drove grandma to the kitchen to continue cooking.

  Ding Mu's mother followed in, and said to grandma: "Mom, you rest, let me come."

   "No, no, no...you don't have to touch your hands." Ding Mu's grandma gave way, not allowing Ding Mu's mother to help. But this is just being polite, how could Lin Yu wait to eat. As the youngest daughter-in-law of the Ding family, Lin Yu gave birth to the only grandson of the Ding family, and has a very good relationship with her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happily busy in the kitchen.

  Ding Guoxuan had nothing to say to Ding Mu's grandfather. He piled up the things he had brought in the kitchen, and went into the house to watch TV by himself. Grandpa Ding Jianhuai gave the iron stick to Ding Mu, and said to the school: "When I was young, I exercised with my grandfather. Do you still wield a stick now?"

   "It's been a long time since I swung it. You stand back and I'll try." Ding Mu picked up the stick, full of thoughts. When I was young, I lived here with my grandfather for a long time. My grandfather swung an iron stick to exercise every day. Xiao Dingmu saw it was fun and wanted to learn it. My grandfather found a short stick made of white wax. After a long period of time, I practiced very proficiently. When I was in elementary school, I used this skill to perform Monkey King in the class, and I was really admired.

   "Why, no more?" Grandpa asked, seeing Ding Mu lost in thought.

   "How can it not be, this is a boy's skill." Ding Mu giggled, ready to play. For Ding Mu's current strength, this iron rod is like straw. The skill of swinging a stick is not difficult for those who are difficult, and not difficult for those who can master it. Ding Mu is familiar with this. With the tiger's mouth as the axis, he dances, bows left and right, and dances faster and faster. After a while, it was like the wind and thunder, the storm, dense but not sparse, it was amazing.

  Ding Jianhuai was very happy when he saw this, and applauded: "Not bad, not bad, you haven't lost your ability to swing a stick after all these years, it's better than when you were a child."

  Ding Mu pretended to be modest and said: "The main reason is that the strength is much greater than before, so it feels easier."

   "That's right, it seems that you are indeed much stronger. You look like a man." The grandfather looked at his grandson, and the more he liked it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't close his mouth.

  The weather was fine, and the grandpa and grandson were chatting about homework in the yard. After a while, other relatives of the family gradually arrived. Ding Mu's aunt, sister-in-law and two uncles all arrived, as did Ding Mu's two cousins. The second aunt married abroad and only returned to China once in a few years.

  Ding Mu's two cousins ​​are not a few years older than Ding Mu, but one has just graduated from work, and the other is still in college. The friendship between the three is quite iron.

   I greeted my grandparents, and the three juniors chatted in the courtyard while fighting landlords. The aunts who were daughters naturally also went to the kitchen to help cook, and Ding Mu's two uncles went into the house to chat with Ding Guoxuan.

The genes of the Ding Mu family are quite good, and the three boys are all sunny and handsome guys around 1.8 meters. However, Ding Mu was probably at most tied for second place with Liang Zun from the sister-in-law's family, and slightly inferior to Wu Jun from the elder sister-in-law's family. More than two people, becoming the undisputed number one in appearance.

  Wu Jun said: "Xiao Mu, you said that you have studied well since you were a child. The two of us have never liked studying, so we are not as good as you. How come you have become so handsome after going to college."

  Liang Zun also said sourly: "My dad asked me for a long time to get an ordinary undergraduate degree. You can do it, and you can get a direct doctorate in one go. Do you know how long my mother has been nagging me?"

Under such conditions, Ding Mu couldn't help voicing bitterly with dirty words: "You don't know, you will be liberated after you go to college. My eight years of studying here is equivalent to eight **** years of high school. You know that How difficult is advanced physics? I still have to do my homework and do homework every night at school."

  The two looked at each other, laughed loudly, and said in unison: "You deserve it!"

   "Well, the school is frustrated, but the card game is proud. It's my turn to be proud. The plane has wings." Ding Mu played his cards.

   "Explosion!" Liang Zun played four sevens.

   "Big explosion!" Ding Mu made four eights.

   "Hey, big explosion." Wu Jun four ten.

   "Four twos." Ding Mu had the last laugh, and continued to play cards, "Three nines and a king, I won. 48 times, 72 for each, no credit."

   Oops, the two of them paid out dejectedly.

   "You three are gathering to gamble again." There was a burst of fragrant wind, and it was Ding Ning, the cousin of Ding Mu's second uncle's family, who came. The uncle is working in another place, and the cousin of the uncle's family, Ding Yuan, is studying abroad and can't come back.

   "My sister is here, and the second uncle and the second aunt are also here." The three of Ding Mu put down their cards and greeted warmly.

Ding Ning is nine years older than Ding Mu, but she is good at studying, especially good at mathematics, and has made great achievements in computer algorithms. At the age of 24, she graduated from Beijing Normal University with a Ph. At the age of one year, he was rated as an associate professor. It's a pity that her appearance has inherited the shortcomings of her parents, so she can only be regarded as average, otherwise she can at least be an Internet celebrity.

   "Sister Ning, are you still teaching at school? Now an IT company engineer who works on algorithms at your level has an annual salary of at least 500,000." Wu Jun works in a headhunting company and has been advocating Ding Ning's job-hopping.

  Ding Ning ignored him, pinched Ding Mu's face and said, "Xiao Mu, why is your face still as tender as when you were three or four years old?"

"Don't keep pinching your brother's face." Ding Mu's second son, Ding Guoteng, came over, slapped Ding Ning's hand off and said, "Xiao Jun, don't keep making your sister change jobs. You guys should also hurry up and find someone to introduce to your sister." Having a boyfriend is serious business, after the new year, you will be twenty-nine."

Ding Guoteng is over 50. He has been the real power director of the central ministries and commissions for many years. He can be regarded as a powerful and successful person, but his only knot is his daughter's marriage. His daughter has a high degree of education and a particularly high vision. All of them are both high and low, and they are extremely worried.

   Ding Ning pouted, expressing dissatisfaction. Ding Mu suddenly thought of something and said, "Second Uncle, do you know Mei Tianlin? It is said that his father seems to be Mei Zhibai."

Ding Guoteng said: "Of course I do. Mei Zhibai's father, Mei Mingli, is one of the eight elders of Dahua. He knows your grandfather very well. He is an old buddy. During the catastrophe, he hid in your grandfather's yard Yes. Mei Zhibo also lived here when I was a child. When I just graduated, he was my immediate boss, and now he is also a high-ranking official. Mei Tianlin is very promising, the president of Meigao Films. The movie two days ago, The so-and-so flowers are filmed by their company, and the box office is hundreds of millions. Why did you ask him? You know him, and introduced him to your sister as a boyfriend? No, no, I have met that boy Mei Tianlin, he looks too demonic Yes, like a woman, and a few years younger than your sister."

   "No, no, it's not to introduce someone to my sister, and he's already engaged. I just asked, we had dinner together a few days ago, and we've met." Ding Mu explained.

Ding Guoteng thought for a while, and agreed: "Mei Zhibai's personality is good, and his son should be good too. Oh, little Ding Mu, I think you will become more handsome the longer you grow, and you can follow his path to develop in the entertainment industry. Stars are good too."

Before Ding Mu could speak, Ding Mu's grandfather Ding Jianhuai reappeared out of nowhere and said angrily, "Nonsense, how can my grandson be an actor, get a doctorate, do research in the future, become a great medical scientist, and conquer cancer , how nice."

   Now Ding Guoteng was silent like a cicada. Ding Mu said boldly: "That's right, my grandpa said that if you are not a good looker, you must be a good doctor." It is Ding Mu's unique skill to block people with his grandfather's words, and Ding Guoteng had no choice but to laugh it off.

   "It's time to eat!" A woman's voice came from the kitchen, it should be Ding Mu's sister-in-law, only she has the loudest voice.

  Ding Mu's grandfather's house is very traditional, women are not allowed to eat at the table, they can only eat in the kitchen. There was no way, Ding Mu's grandma ate in the kitchen, so both the daughter and the daughter-in-law had to be wronged in the kitchen with their mother. The only one who can eat at the table is Ding Mu's sister Ding Ning. This woman never went into the kitchen, and she was favored since she was a child, and she always ate at the table.

  Ding Mu's grandfather Ding Jianhuai, Er Bo Ding Guoteng, father Ding Guoxuan, eldest uncle Wu Daoheng, younger uncle Liang Shanyan, Wu Jun, Liang Zun, Ding Mu, and Ding Ning sat at the dining room.

  The relatives of Ding Mu's family are all responsible people from famous families. Because Ding Mu's grandfather married his daughter to a right family, the old men of the Wu family and the Liang family were all veteran cadres at the army level. It's just that the old men of the two families left early, and although they left behind some good real estate, they are still considered to be in poor condition.

  My great uncle Wu Daoheng used to be a professional Go player at Dahua Chess Academy. Later, a remedial class was held to teach children to play Go. In the past few years, the business has been doing well, and it can be regarded as having no worries about food and clothing. Little uncle Liang Shanyan is a professional painter of Dahua Painting and Calligraphy Academy. Although his name is good, his reputation is not good, and his works don't sell well, so they don't sell much. The standard of living is comparable to that of those well-known first-line painters, but it is not a problem to buy a house and support a wife and children.

   This is an ordinary family in the capital. If you count Ding Mu's uncle who is the mayor of another provincial capital, plus a second uncle who immigrated abroad as a lecturer professor. To put it bluntly, the Ding family can become a third-rate family in the capital. It's just that this kind of family has eight hundred if not one thousand in the capital, which is really nothing.

  The only advantage of the Ding family is that they all come from revolutionary families, and the older generation are simple, thrifty, red and expert old revolutionaries. So this **** generation also does their duty. Therefore, no matter whether the third generation taught is smart or not, at least they are kind-hearted and do not engage in crooked ways. Family relations are also particularly harmonious.

  At the dinner table, in order to celebrate Ding Mu’s entrance into a good university, grandpa specially opened a bottle of Moutai that has been preserved for many years. It is the old Moutai that has been preserved until today in the 1970s. The old man was old, and he only drank a glass, and stopped drinking.

  The elder uncle who is good at drinking toasted frequently, and the younger uncle was also very good at drinking. Together with the elder uncle, he toasted Ding Mu's father. Ding Mu's father laughed: "I usually don't drink with you, mainly because I don't drink when I drive, and I don't drive when I drink. Now that Ding Mu can drive too, you think I'm afraid of you." Quickly poured a glass, and drank with him: "Why don't you drink while driving, don't drive while drinking, you think the usual wine is not good, today Dad opened the old Moutai, you can drink even if you don't drink at all! Let's celebrate together with a glass Ding Mu was admitted to a good university!"

  Everyone laughed loudly, everyone knew that Ding Guoxuan must be high-end when buying, eating and using things. Like a father, like a son, Ding Mu learned many things from his father.

Ding Guoxuan was not embarrassed, and said with a cheerful smile: "Look, it's the third generation driving now. It's so fast. In a few years, we will see the fourth generation. Ding Ning is not young. We I bought the house where Ding Mu got married."

  As soon as the words came out, Grandpa immediately frowned, Ding Mu blushed for no reason, but the second uncle was worried, and Ding Ning didn't care. What kind of person Ding Guoxuan is, the second elder brother ridiculed him, and he used the words to tease him. However, the fact that the two brothers can talk like this and ridicule each other is a very good expression of their relationship.

  The second uncle was upright all his life, and his only worry was the marriage of his daughter Ding Ning. His daughter's conditions were not too poor, but her requirements were too high. Difficult!

   "Ningning doesn't have to worry about getting married." Little uncle Liang Shanyan said, "It's a decent thing to marry a wife who is a university teacher. Second brother, don't be too impatient."

   "The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry." As soon as Ding Ning said it, everyone at the table burst into laughter. She is also an only child, a princess who was spoiled by her parents since she was a child, and the only woman in the Ding family who can eat at the table. The only person in the capital who dared to hurt Ding Guoteng face to face was his daughter. The whole family had a happy lunch, and then went away separately. They will not be able to get together again until the New Year.
