Chapter 287 Uncle's Thoughts
Then the patriarch relaxed and said, "It's almost the same! Bring the chess here, and let's play a few games for our grandparents and grandchildren!"
Zhao Yue waved his head to Federo and motioned him to prepare, "Okay, I'm going to learn your old tricks!"
The two masters and grandchildren played a few games of chess, and each time the patriarch narrowly won, which made the patriarch extremely happy. The wine and dishes were all on the table, and he had to pull Zhao Yue to play a few more games.
"Uncle, let's drink first and drink after drinking!" Zhao Yue said quickly that he didn't want to play chess with the old man all day, and he had to make every game very thrilling.
The patriarch reluctantly put down the chess pieces and sat at the banquet with the help of Zhao Yue. The two masters and grandchildren took a sip. I drank a glass. After a few glasses of wine, the patriarch said, "Wue, do you know how long your uncle is this year?"
Zhao Yue calculated: "You have always been born in the Republic of China for four years. Oh, this year you are just 100 years old! It's not far away! This is a big deal, and it must be a big deal."
The patriarch was very satisfied with Zhao Yue's performance and nod with relief and said, "Well, you still have a heart, but now those juniors have lost their money in their eyes, and the village is working hard, which will delay their time and their money from making money! Will it make them complain?
So that's it. I said why it's so popular! Zhao Yue thought for a moment and said, "Don't be worried about this. I'll do it all!" You are a hundred years old and have a long life. This is auspicious and auspicious! Who dares to complain?
He touched his head and said, "Do you think this is okay? Let us juniors with some money raise some money to hold a three-day banquet. Secondly, we invite several troupes to sing a three-day party, and then invite people from the county cinema to come and play movies for a few days. In short, we will beat gongs and drums to make your birthday lively. Let everyone in ten miles and eight villages know that there is a 100-year-old birthday star in our village! In addition, if you want to sing a meeting, there is no place. I think it's better to take advantage of your birthday to repair the ancestral temple and ancestral hall in the clan by the way. It hasn't been repaired for decades, and no one can enter it. Don't the ancestors scold us for being unfilial?
The patriarch was very happy to hear Zhao Yue's words and said, "Yue, you have a heart, but you can repair the ancestral hall without saying that you can repair it. You can't do it without money."
Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll pay for the money from the Xiuzong Temple. I will discuss this matter with Uncle Decai. In short, you should do this matter to your satisfaction and everyone's satisfaction! You should take advantage of this period of time to rest and refresh yourself. I'm afraid that the parents and officials in the town and county will come down to celebrate your birthday. Don't fall down when you are excited at that time. That won't work. We juniors don't agree!"
"Hahaha, you boy, your uncle, I have also seen the world and senior officials. This little battle is not as rare as your uncle. Think of your uncle and me in those years." The patriarch was about to talk about his glorious history. Zhao Yue immediately picked up his glass and said, "Come on, come on, come on!" Uncle, let's have a drink!"
Zhao Yue has heard his uncle talk about how he was like since he was a child. I don't know how many times he has heard it now. Now when he hears what the old man says, he wants to run, but he can't run, so he has to gag the old man's mouth with wine.
The old man drank a glass of wine, put down the glass and said, "Yue, my uncle has thought about it. You can't pay for the money to repair the ancestral hall alone. Are you the descendant of the Zhao family? Are those little bastards not the descendants of the Zhao family? Let's make a good deal of this matter! Besides, when you pay to repair the ancestral hall, those rabbits will not be happy. Ask you why you pay alone, don't you treat them as the Zhao family? What did you say at that time? So, let's discuss it again. Let them pay if they are willing to pay, and pay if they don't have money, so that no one will gossip!"
After listening to the old man's words, Zhao Yue gave a thumbs up and blurted out, "You are still very resourceful, and the old annipery is very slippery!" As soon as he finished speaking, he got a trembling on his head.
"How do you speak? As soon as I praised you, you didn't have a door in your mouth?" The old man blew his beard and scolded.
Zhao Yue quickly smiled and said, "Look at me talking nonsense as soon as I drink too much. How can you say that you are a giant slippery? In this way, I will punish myself a cup, a cup, hehe!" After saying that, he quickly poured a glass of wine into his mouth.
When Zhao Yuezheng was embarrassed, Annie came back from the outside with her two children and carried a big bag. "Ancestor, are you here? Look, we have bought a lot of things!" Zhao Ding pulled his sister Zhao Xiang to jump in from the outside and shouted, and suddenly jumped into the old man's arms.
"Good, good, good!" The old man smiled kindly and picked up Zhao Ding as soon as he stretched out his hand. "Oh, you little guy is really heavy. Your ancestors can't hold you. Tell your ancestors where you went to play today?"
The old man really likes these two children. He usually brings them something delicious to eat, and often takes them out to play. He is very intimate with them.
Zhao Ding shouted, "Today we went to the market with our mother. There are a lot of fun!"
At this time, Zhao Xiang also stretched out his hand and shouted, "Ancestor, I want to hug you too!"
Zhao Yue immediately came forward and hugged Zhao Xiang and said, "My ancestors are too old to hold you two. Dad hugs you!"
Annie came in with a big bag and said, "Uncle, you're here!" I just bought two old hens and stewed one for you to replenish your body."
The old man nodded and said, "Well, you'd better keep the old hen for yourself. This table of dishes is enough!"
When Zhao Yue was about to marry Annie, almost everyone in the Zhao family was very happy, but the uncle objected. In his words, are all the women here dead? How dare you marry a foreign woman as your wife? Later, many people went to make love, and he reluctantly agreed. After Zhao Yue and Annie got married, they went to give him tea. He was still cold or hot, and he almost didn't talk to Annie at ordinary times. It was not until Annie gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins to Zhao Yue that he had a good look on Annie.
Don't treat the patriarch as a cadre! Up to now, many places in China are still clan society. The patriarch's rights are very large. Generally, the most prestigious old people are held. Some villagers are all surnames and descendants of an ancestor. Sometimes the police go to these villages to handle cases. These people don't buy it at all and directly block the police at the entrance of the village. They were not allowed to go in, and some even directly confronted the police to prevent them from arresting people. As long as the patriarch orders, they dare to fight against the political axe, so if they want to exercise their rights in these places, they must get the cooperation of the patriarch.
After saying that, the old man ignored Annie and asked Zhao Ding, "Zhao Ding, your ancestors are old. When you grow up and your ancestors are not dead, will you take care of your ancestors?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ding shook his head and said, "No!"
"Why?"
"Because I want to save money to marry a wife!" Zhao Ding is serious.
The old man was stunned: "Uh! Hahahaha, okay, okay, you want to marry a wife before you are three years old! This is much better than your father! Your father knew how to play with mud all day long when he was your age.
Zhao Ding's words not only made the old man laugh, but also Zhao Yue and Annie laughed. This is really childish!
Zhao Xiang in Zhao Yue's arms shouted, "My brother is shameless, so he wants to marry a wife!"
"How do you want to marry a wife? My father married my mother as my wife, my uncle married my aunt as my wife, and men want to marry a wife, so I also want to marry a wife!" Zhao Ding shouted, and he actually knew how to give examples.
His shout made everyone in the room laugh. The old man was the most happy and said it directly. Zhao Ding took the old man's beard and asked, "Ancestor, why is your beard so white and Dad's beard so black?"
"Because the older the person's beard, the whiter it is. When your father reaches the age of his ancestors, his beard will also be white, and you will grow a beard when you grow up." The old man is very happy to chat with children and talk to others, and others don't want to listen.
Zhao Yue smiled and said to Annie, "Take the children away, so that Uncle can't drink!"
After Annie took the two children away, Zhao Yue put a few pieces of pork waist flowers in the old man's bowl and said, "Come on, uncle, you are so old, and it's really rare that your teeth are so good. Eat more waist flowers and be full of energy!"
The old man said proudly, "That's right, don't look at your uncle. I'm 100 years old. I can eat, drink, sleep, and do some work!"
"Can you tell me the secret of your longevity!" Zhao Yue pretended to be curious and asked.
The old man shook his head and said, "What's the secret! But if you ask me that, I can really say something!"
"Oh, tell me!" Zhao Yue asked quickly.
The old man took a sip of the wine glass, and then said, "Well, you can't do everything too much, such as not being too tired at work, eating too much, drinking and getting drunk, smoking too much, sleeping time should not being too long, resting time should not be too long, ** can't be excessive, that's it. Well, when I was 80 years old, other old guys either got into the ground or fell down and couldn't get up. I just thought, why am I still alive? Later, as soon as I summed it up, I came to such a conclusion. You see, I'm not sick now!"
Zhao Yue clapped his hands and said, "You have made an incisive summary! That's right!"
In fact, the living habits of the elderly are just in line with the principles of heaven, balance! All behaviors are not biased, neither heavy nor light, neither long nor short.
After drinking, the old man got up and wanted to leave. Zhao Yue hurried over to help him up. Who knew that the old man shook him away and said, "I'm not drunk yet. I don't need you to help me!" By the way, let's make a deal about it!"
Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Of course, since it's agreed, you can't go back on it. Leave the matter to me!"
The old man said "en" and then walked slowly on crutches.
