In fact, the host family does not need to worry about organizing this kind of birthday banquet. There are certain rules for such things in the village.

The old man didn't want to make a fuss. Firstly, he had been a farmer all his life and he didn't have this habit. Secondly, he didn't want to be too public, so he just followed the old rules.

Only the food, tobacco and wine are on a higher level than others, not showy, but decent.

It stands to reason that my uncle is opening a big hotel in the city, so the old man’s birthday banquet should be hosted by a chef in the city.

But Zhang’s mother refused to do so.

Everything is in accordance with the rules of the village, and the brother who holds the banquet is invited to serve. According to seniority, Zhang Yuanjun has to call him second uncle.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't understand this. He gave gifts to follow the crowd in order to take care of other families, but the specifications of the banquet were so high that since his family had the conditions, why didn't he do it in a glorious way?

"I would say you are too young and only think about the scenery and don't care about anything else." Zhang's mother gave a folk lesson to a pair of children. "Of course you can make better food by hiring a cook from outside, but what will your second uncle and the others think?

For more than ten years, the same family has prepared the banquets for weddings and funerals in the village. Now our family is hosting a birthday banquet and inviting outsiders? Your second uncle will definitely think that by then, he said that he is a brother of the same family, and there is no such thing as a favor.

The money that should be earned must be earned by others."

"The taste of the banquet in the village is just average." Zhang Yuanying said.

"It can't be compared to a restaurant, but that's how wine is served in a village. The ingredients we use are all good and they won't taste bad.

In the afternoon, Zhang Leping, the eldest son of the Zhang family, arrived home. He had not seen him for more than a year and he had lost a lot of weight.

"Are you raised like this by American beef?" Zhang Yuanjun said the first thing Zhang Leping said when he walked in.

"If I had known I wouldn't have studied for a Ph.D., I would have been too tired."

"Do you weigh 150 pounds now?" The boss is 187cm, and Zhang Yuanying underreported it.

Zhang Leping shook his head: "A few pounds of 140, not even 150."

This height and weight are within a medically healthy range, but in reality, they look thin.

"Okay, I'll eat more when I go home for a few days and make up for it." I forgot to ask, "How many days will you stay at home?"

"Ten days, how about you, second brother?"

"I just asked for a week." Zhang Yuanying said.

"Don't look at me," Zhang Yuanjun said, warming himself by the fire, "I'll only have three days, and I'll leave early the day after tomorrow. You can go there next week."

The old rule is to sweep graves twice in spring and winter, once before Qingming and once before Winter Solstice, usually not on the same day.

This winter solstice grave sweeping will be next Sunday, and Zhang Yuanjun will definitely not be able to go.

"Okay, I'll go."

After cleaning up, Boss Zhang asked: "Which one you finished filming came first?"

""The Best in the World"." Zhang Yuanying added.

"Ah, yes, "The Best in the World", when will it be broadcast? I have boasted to you in the circle of Chinese international students in the United States, saying that my third child became an actor and acted in a martial arts TV series."

"Thank you." Zhang Laosan didn't know what to say.

"I also promoted it to you in France." Zhang Yuanying added, "I want them all to see it. Will they be able to receive it by then?"

"I don't know," he really doesn't know whether the United States and France can receive domestic TV programs. "The film has been sold. It will be premiered on Bay Island China Television and the mainland will be premiered on Jiangcheng TV. Can you receive these two channels?

?"

"Cannot receive."

"That's nonsense." I still hope that they can contribute some overseas ratings, "I can't expect anything."

"Then you pay me and the boss's 1 million." Zhang Yuanjun still thinks that they paid for the attack on Wang Jing.

"Having said this," Zhang Yuanjun had no intention of returning the favor, "We are all born to the same mother. So what is yours and what is mine? It hurts the feelings of brothers to be so clear about it."

"Now I know how to talk about brotherhood, but you beat me yesterday."

"Didn't I beat you? I also gave you a hot water bottle to warm your bed."

"Where is the hot water bottle? Why didn't I see it?" Zhang Yuanying wouldn't recognize it.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhang Leping refused to dissuade him. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds and cracked them to watch the show.

The quarrel between the siblings ended with Zhang Yuanying picking up a poker and chasing Zhang Yuanjun, and Zhang Yuanjun fled out the door.

"I'll beat you to death!" Zhang Yuanying cursed at Zhang Yuanjun's fleeing back.

Zhang Leping sat in front of the TV: "Let's fight. You can't fight in a few years. In a few years, when the third child falls in love and gets married, you won't be able to fight him."

"Humph," Zhang Yuanying disagreed, "I can beat him anytime I want. If he talks about a girlfriend, I will join his girlfriend to beat him together. Huh?" Zhang Yuanying felt something was wrong, "You are not even married, how can he be married?

Marriage."

"Just wait and see, the third child will definitely get married early." Zhang Leping seemed to have known it for a long time.

"Then do you believe what the fairy said?" This summer, my mother asked someone to calculate the birth dates of her three children and said that Zhang Yuanjun, the third child, would get married early. Zhang's mother told this statement to the eldest child and the second child.

"You have to believe the letter." The boss has his own opinions on this matter. "When I went abroad, I didn't even think that I could read a lot of books. I was told that I could study for a Ph.D."

"Then when I went abroad, she also said that I would find a match. I have been in France for three years and I haven't found anything."

"If you want to find a good match, ask me. There are many handsome guys in the entertainment industry." Zhang Yuanjun appeared at the right time.

"You really want me to find a boyfriend, right?"

"Yeah, hurry up and ask someone to take it away. My ears are clean and no one has hit me yet. Also, when you get married, your room will be mine." Zhang Yuanying's room is the largest among the three brothers and sisters, and there is also a room assigned to her.

Private bathroom.

Zhang Leping stood aside and said, "If you speak less in the future, you will be beaten more easily."

But Zhang Yuanying doesn't want to hit anyone now: "That's it, can you find a girlfriend by talking like this? What girl would be blind enough to fall in love with you."

"You are wrong, your brother is the school boy of Beidian, the little prince of Xitucheng Road."

"Ugh~ You're the one who's the school idol? Your school is just average." Just as the younger brother never thinks his older sister is good-looking, the older sister will never think her younger brother is handsome.

"I don't know the goods." Zhang Yuanjun said.

Mom is not at home. She has gone back to the countryside to prepare for the birthday party, and she will not be back at night.

None of the three siblings knew how to cook, so at dinner time, the three of them heated up the leftovers from lunch and ate them.

After dinner, the eldest brother asked the second child to wash the dishes because she was a girl and had to learn to do housework. The second child asked the third child to wash the dishes because he, the youngest, had to be obedient.

The third child...the third child was not called, so he could only wash the dishes.

While I was washing the dishes, the eldest and second eldest brother disappeared. They drove away and went to who knows where.

Zhang Yuanjun finished cleaning up alone and comforted himself: "What will this family do without me?"

After that, he also went out for a walk.

Zhang Laosan was the last to go out, but the first to come back.

At nine o'clock, he went home.

At eleven o'clock, the boss will be back.

At half past eleven, the second child came back and blamed the boss for not picking her up.
