Chapter 297 The village head's family has no food left

After the banquet, Zhao Yue and the village head Zhao Decai walked into the study. Zhao Yue said while making tea, "Uncle, do you know what it will be in another month?"

Zhao Decai took a sip of the tea Zhao Yue made for him and said doubtfully, "A month later? What's the day?

Zhao Yue said with a smile, "You think you are so forgetful! In a month, it will be my uncle's 100th birthday!"

Zhao Decai suddenly realized and patted his head and said to himself, "Look, I'm so busy that I forgot such an important thing!"

"Uncle, uncle is 100 years old. It's not easy! He has been ups and downs all his life, and he has endured hardships until now. He has finally lived a good life. He is still in good health and disease-free! What's more, it's the first time for a hundred-year-old age in our village, and even in our town or our county. I'm afraid it's the first time. This is a great joy! Although everyone is very busy now, I think this thing has to be done, and it has to be done in a big deal!"

Zhao De was just about to take out a cigarette from his pocket. Zhao Yue picked up the cigarette on the table and handed it to him. He said, "My uncle came to me a few days ago. I also forgot about it at that time. If it hadn't been for his reminder, I wouldn't have remembered it. Shame on me, uncle! His old man is also full of descendants now. At this age, he naturally hopes to be lively. Since the old man has this idea, we juniors will meet his wish. What I mean is that our uncles and brothers all gather together and take some money to celebrate his birthday. It's lively. Three days and three nights, of course, some uncles and brothers have difficulties at home. It doesn't matter. Rich people pay, and people who don't have money contribute. Everyone work together to do this well. What do you mean?

Zhao Decai nodded and said, "Yes, it's hard to get a 100-year-old birthday star. This is a big deal. Anyway, it's our blessing and a great joy! If you want to do it big, it will cost a lot of money. Although there are many of our uncles and brothers, there are not many people who have really made a fortune in recent years. I'm afraid there are a lot of gaps in money!"

Zhao Yue thought for a moment and said, "Do you think this is okay? Gather the big guys first. Let's discuss it. You can take as much as you can. If you can't take it out, you can run errands and work hard. After all, you will do what you want, and no one else will laugh at it. I will do the insufficient part. In addition, I mean to take advantage of my uncle. On the birthday, the ancestral hall of the ancestral temple should also be repaired decently and generously. In this way, the ancestors came back from the underworld during the Spring Festival and looked comfortable, didn't they? The money of this Xiuzong Temple is also included in everyone's fund-raising funds, and all the insufficient funds are paid by me. What do you think?

Zhao Decai smoked a cigarette, wiped his tears and said, "Yue, uncle, thank you! It's not that uncle didn't want to celebrate your uncle's birthday. How can such an important uncle forget it? It's not that my uncle doesn't want to be filial. He is really powerless! I have wanted to repair the ancestral hall of the ancestral temple for a long time. Looking at it collapse day by day, my uncle felt uncomfortable. Even if he has no money to repair it, no one is rich. Since you have proposed it today, you are willing to do your best for your filial piety for your uncle and ancestors, and you are also thoughtful. After taking into account everyone's face, uncle, I want to thank you!" With that, he was about to stand up and bow to Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue hurriedly stood up and stopped and said, "Oh, uncle, don't do this, don't do this! You're killing me!"

After Zhao De sat down, Zhao Yue thought for a moment and said, "After all, you are your uncle's son and a party involved. You should avoid suspicion. I will do this work. Later, I will go to the village department to broadcast with you and inform my uncles and brothers to come to my house at night to discuss. This has been Forget about the married sisters. After all, they are already outsiders. Do you think this is okay?

Zhao Decai nodded and said, "I think it's okay. It's best for you to come forward. Everyone also values you very much!"

Seeing Zhao De, he nodded and agreed. Zhao Yue said again, "Leave the matter to me. After everyone raises the money, I don't have time for this specific business. I'm going to Binhai in a few days, and I have to leave it to you!" My uncle and I have made a ticket, opened a three-day banquet, and invited several opera troupes to sing three-day sessions, such as Huangmei opera troupe, Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Sichuan Opera and so on. In addition, we have to invite the county cinema to play three-day movies, and other people to hire helpers, firecrackers and so on. You can think about it as much as possible. All, don't be afraid to spend money. What are you afraid of when you spend money? Let's earn it back. As long as we get rid of our reputation and there are more people here, everyone will naturally make money! And where to put the opening mat, where to sing in the singing hall, and where to put the movie, you have to consider! In addition, when the noise comes, there may be someone to celebrate their birthday, and you may have to think about how to receive it.

"Okay, I'll think about it these days!" Zhao Decai said.

The two of them almost discussed it and went to the village together.

"The following is a notice. I'm Zhao Yue. I'd like to invite my uncles, brothers and sisters of the Zhao family to come to my house for a meeting at 9 p.m. tonight. I have something to discuss!"

Zhao Yue played it on the radio three times in a row before Zhao De left before returning home. After returning home, he called Federlow and said, "Lao Fei, you go to buy some melons, fruits, snacks and melon seeds in the afternoon. In the evening, I will entertain my uncles and brothers. There are a lot of people. Prepare more tea!"

"I see, sir!" Federlow bent down to answer, and after saying that, he turned around and was ready to go.

After Federo left, Chen Xuan came downstairs with Xiaoyu and a candle in his hand. "Brother Yue, Xiaoyu and I want to worship at Haozi's grave!"

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Os, I'll take you there!" With that, he went to the yard and took a shovel on his shoulder and took Chen Xuan and Xiaoyu to the cemetery at the end of the village.

When they arrived at the cemetery, Chen Xuan and Xiaoyu lit incense candles in front of Zhao Hao's tomb, burned some paper money, took out three wine glasses and a bottle of white wine from their bags, put them in front of the tomb, and poured all the glasses with white wine.

Chen Xuan and Xiao Yu bowed to Zhao Hao's tombstone, "Haozi, brother, Xiaoyu and I have come to see you. I just come to see you now. You don't blame us, do you?" Chen Xuan and Xiao Yu began to talk to Zhao Hao's tombstone in front of the tomb.

Zhao Yue took a spade to clean up all the weeds around Zhao Hao's cemetery, dug a few shallow drains next to him, and then sat aside and smoked, listening to Chen Xuan and Xiaoyue recall the interesting things they had with Zhao Hao in front of the tomb.

The three of them stayed in the cemetery for more than an hour before leaving. "Brother Yue, I have thought about my work. I want to go to the mercenary guild with Xiaoyu to work!" On the way home, Chen Xuan said his and Xiao Yu's plan.
