Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"Grandpa, we need to make this banquet a bit more lively. We'll slaughter a pig, we'll do it in a bit. If we don't have one, we'll buy one from someone else."

"Have you hired a chef yet?"

"The Changshui couple."

"That won't do, it's too few, we can't handle it all, find two more."

Ding Yang held his grandmother's hand.

"Grandma, I wish you good health and a long life."

"It's good that you're back."

"Let's eat first, we're already eating."

"oh!"

"Haven't Aunt and the others arrived yet?"

"They've arrived. Your uncle brought some groceries and then left. He said he'd come back later this afternoon because he has something to do at noon."

Just then, Second Master ran over wearing slippers.

Ding Yang didn't return, and Second Master didn't come either. Ding Yang came back, and Second Master came too.

"Second Master!"

"You brat, why didn't you come back sooner?"

"Something came up in Shenzhen, and it took me a day."

Ding Yang took out a cigarette and offered one to Second Master.

Second Master touched the front of the car.

"Xiaoyang, is that a Mercedes G-Class?"

"Oh, you know him, Second Master?"

"You brat, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. What don't you know? This car is expensive; it's imported from Germany."

"That brat has really struck it rich!"

"Second Master, I'm just a driver and errand boy. This car belongs to the boss. He lent it to me to drive back and show off for a few days."

"That just means you're doing well, otherwise who would borrow this car?"

"Oh, has Qinghe returned yet?"

"She's back. She just happened to have a two-day holiday and came back. This girl has been away for a while and misses her parents a bit."

"That's normal, you didn't bully them, did you?"

"She's Second Grandmother's niece, how could I dare to bully her?"

"Alright, alright, let's eat!"

Ding Yang opened the liquor box and took out a bottle of Jiu Gui liquor.

"Second Master, let's drink this today."

"Xiaoyang, it's your grandma's birthday, are you using this wine too? It's not cheap."

"I've already bought them. I bought eight cases, 48 ​​bottles in total. That should be enough for two meals."

"You brat, you've really struck it rich!"

"Uncle Changshui, does anyone have a big fat pig? I want to buy one."

"I have one at home, it's almost ready to be sold, it weighs about 200 jin (100 kg)."

"Alright, sell me one. It's Grandma's birthday, so we have to slaughter a pig. Call the butcher later, and he'll do it this afternoon."

"Xiaoyang, pork prices have skyrocketed this year. Pork isn't cheap now. Just go to town and buy a piece of pork."

"No, we have to slaughter a fat pig, otherwise it won't be lively. Sell it to me at the market price."

"Also, if you and your aunt are too busy, help me find two more cooks, and I'll pay them all."

"The banquet should be lively, and each piece of braised pork should weigh more than 4 catties (2 catties), no less, only more."

"In addition, the beef, pork trotters, and prawns must all be fresh, not frozen. Frozen ones don't taste good; they're too dry. The fish balls must also be made from fresh grass carp; we don't want frozen ones. They must be made fresh."

"After you finish eating, I'll give you the money. You can go to town and buy it for me; it needs to be on the table tonight."

Changshui laughed and said, "Xiaoyang, this isn't going to be cheap. Meat is expensive these days. If you do it this way, each table will cost four or five hundred yuan."

"It's alright, 500 or 600 is fine, just make it lively. It's Grandma's 70th birthday, we can't be too stingy. It's still 10 years until she turns 80."

"OK."

Grandma said, "Xiaoyang, why make such a fuss? It's too expensive. The gift is only 100 yuan."

"Grandma, just do as I say. We want to make it a big celebration and give you face."

Grandma fell silent, and Grandpa, who was concerned about saving face, also kept quiet.

After finishing the meal,

Ding Yang took out a pack of Furongwang cigarettes, opened his handbag, took out 1 yuan in cash, and handed it to Ding Changshui.

"Uncle, could you go buy some things for me? I just got back and don't know much about many things, so I'll have to trouble you. Here, take these cigarettes and distribute them. Tell the chef to come over right away; dinner is starting tonight, and we can't afford to be delayed too long."

"Xiaoyang, don't worry, I'll definitely get it done for you. These days, as long as you have money, you can find anything in town. I'll get it all done for you in two hours."

"Thanks!"

"Oh, bring the pig over first. When you slaughter it, you have to pay respects to heaven and earth. I'll settle the bill with you the day after tomorrow."

"Okay... I'll make the call."

Second Master held Ding Yang's hand.

"You brat, how much money have you actually made? Why are you messing around like this?"

"Second Master, how can you say it's a waste of money to celebrate Grandma's birthday? We have to make it happen even if we don't have the money."

Ding Yang then took out another packet of "He Tianxia" cigarettes and stuffed it into the Second Master's hand.

"Second Master, go for a walk in the village and tell them that Ding Yang is back. It's Grandma's birthday, so we're welcoming all guests, adults and children alike. The kids will be seated too. We'll have a proper meal tonight."

"You brat, you'll die if you don't show off?"

"Hehe, we're just here for the fun!"

Money makes the world go round, and everything was proceeding according to Ding Yang's plan. When Ding Yang didn't return, the house was deserted and quiet; when he did return, all sorts of strange and unsavory characters came.

Grandpa pulled Ding Yang aside

"Xiao Yang, let Chang Shui do the purchasing; he'll get a kickback."

"Grandpa, nobody's a fool. What's rightfully theirs will be theirs. We're not short of money. Nobody works for nothing. Do you expect them to work for free?"

"Changshui has a pretty good reputation in the village. Even if he pumps water, he doesn't pump much. Don't take it to heart. Be more magnanimous."

"How's things going with Tan Yan? And what about Jingyi from last time?"

"Grandpa, congratulations! You're about to meet your great-grandson."

"real?"

"I'm over two months pregnant."

"Who's pregnant with it?"

"Tan Yan, if she weren't pregnant, she would have come back with me to celebrate Grandma's birthday."

"Didn't you say she's 40? Can a 40-year-old still get pregnant?"

"Does that mean you can't get pregnant at 40? Some people get pregnant at 60!"

"You're embarrassing yourself! Isn't this like an old oyster carrying a pearl? You certainly have a good appetite."

"Grandpa, how can you be so superficial? Mature women are the ones with real charm."

"Roll away..."

"Did you buy this car?"

"Yeah, he bought it less than a week ago, and it cost over 200 million. He came back specifically to show off."

"You brat, you're really going to keep living off your wife all the way through."

"Hehe, I'm just being a kept man."

"What about Jingyi? They've already come to our house, and everyone in the village knows about it."

"I broke up with her. Although she is a local from Dongguan and is considered a moderately wealthy woman, in my eyes it's just small change, nothing special."

"You little rascal, all you've been doing out there is making money, haven't you?"

"Grandpa, what else are you doing these days if not making money?"

"When you're out and about, it's either about hooking up with women or making money, but I choose to make money off women."

"roll……"

Grandpa kicked him so hard he almost fell flat on his face.

"You brat..."

Although Grandpa was cursing, he was secretly overjoyed.

"Oh, Grandpa, the cement road is all repaired now, so I can't show off today."

"It was repaired last month, and the road has been open for half a month now."

"However, the Lijiawan side hasn't been repaired yet. The government contributed part of the money, and the local villagers raised some funds."

"I told you last time that it's 500 per person, plus a personal donation. There's no mandatory quota. Grandpa donated 600. Many people in the village donated, some 300 or 500, some 1,000 or 2,000."

"oh!"
