What I have to do today is really big. Nothing else. Second grandpa's 80th birthday!

Yang Jing got the news only the day before yesterday. As soon as he got off the plane the day before yesterday, he received a call from his grandmother. Her grandmother told Yang Jing the news and told him that the second generation of Lao Li's family went.

It's no small matter. It is a great good thing for a family to have an old man celebrate his 80th birthday in any way.

As the old saying goes, life is rare in 70 years and old in 80. In ancient times, an 80 year old man was an absolute old longevity. He could not worship the emperor when he saw him. The emperor had to bow his hands to pay tribute to you.

In ancient times, people with a long life must have great blessings, so even the old emperor was willing to touch this blessing.

Now, with the continuous improvement of living conditions and medical conditions, there are more and more people aged 80. But anyway, there is an old man in a family who has celebrated his 80th birthday, not to mention that family. The whole family has to come to celebrate his birthday as long as it is conditional.

No, when Yang Jing called my mother, my mother told me the details.

Yang Jing's grandfather has four brothers and sisters. His grandfather is the third, but he is the eldest son of the family, because there are two sisters above him. Grandpa's eldest sister died twenty years ago, and now there are three of their sisters left. Grandpa's second sister, that is, Yang Jing's second aunt's grandmother, is also 90 years old this year. She is ten years older than Yang Jing's second grandfather, but her birthday is later. In September, so this year, she will celebrate not only the 80th birthday of her second grandfather, but also the 90th birthday of her second aunt's grandmother.

When the old people in the family celebrate their full birthday, they celebrate it a year in advance, that is, they celebrate their virtual age. So this year, two old people in Lao Li's family have celebrated their 80th birthday and 90th birthday respectively.

This is a great event for the whole Lao Li family. So this time, the second Grandpa will celebrate his 80th birthday. Three of Yang Jing's family, five of Yang Jing's aunt's family, three of Yang Jing's little aunt's family and Yang Jing's old uncle will all come. Li Yinuo can't come because he needs to go to school, otherwise the girl will have to come.

But Yang Jing didn't know the second grandpa's birthday or the second aunt's birthday, so he didn't prepare in advance.

But since mom explained the situation, Yang Jing had to prepare gifts.

Needless to say, the whole family has plenty of treasures here. It's more than enough to pick out a few as birthday gifts.

Yang Jing knows that because of their parents' participation in birthday celebrations, the third generation of them don't have to send birthday gifts to the elderly alone. The second generation of Lao Li's family all represent them. Of course, if Yang Jing wants to give it, there is no problem, but the value of the gift must not exceed that of the elders, otherwise it will be against the rules.

In other words, Yang Jing needs to prepare four gifts for her mother and one gift for her grandparents. Although her grandparents don't come, they also need to show it.

Later, Yang Jing asked her big cousin whether she was going to send a birthday gift. The eldest cousin said that if you get married and start a family, don't give it if you don't get married and start a family, so Yang Jing prepared two more sets of gifts.

He and his eldest cousin have married and have to give birthday gifts to his second Grandpa. So Yang Jing prepared a total of seven gifts.

It's not easy for others to prepare these seven sets of gifts in a hurry, but it's nothing for Yang Jing. There are many treasures in the basement of haisiheyuan. Those treasures are not qualified to be exhibited in the Grand Canal Museum, but they are also extremely precious antique works of art for ordinary people. In particular, Lao Na really collected a lot of miscellaneous treasures in those years, such as literary and entertainment lion head walnuts in the Qing Dynasty, bird cages made of red sandalwood inlaid with gold and silver, and ivory carvings in the Qing Dynasty... Therefore, Yang Jing just walked around the basement and prepared the birthday gift to be prepared.

However, when preparing the gift, Ge Ge suddenly said, "Yang Jing, I suddenly remembered that my grandmother will celebrate her 80th birthday this year!"

"Ah? Your grandma is also a horse?"

"Well, it's a horse. It's 79 weeks old this year. It's only 80 years old. But my grandmother won't have her birthday until the end of the year."

"Lady, don't say anything. Choose a good gift for your husband."

Ge Ge said with a smile, "I didn't mean that. I just suddenly remembered the things of the past few years. I remember when you first came back that year, we went to Uncle Jiang to choose a birthday gift for grandma. You gave grandma a bracelet carved with Hotan white jade. My grandma is so happy that she can't bear to take it off."

"Hey, my lady, I fooled you with such a bracelet when I was a husband..."

"Go, what nonsense!" Ge Ge beat Yang Jing angrily. "I didn't follow you for the sake of your babies. When you were a poor boy, I saw you with my eyes. It's just that some fool was afraid of this and that. Leng made me wait for several years! Hum, now you're OK to say..."

Moved, Yang Jing grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "daughter-in-law, we can't see a rainbow without going through the wind and rain! Our relationship has gone through many tests. In the future, our relationship is definitely stronger than refined gold and solid as gold soup! We will walk together for a lifetime! I will treat you well for a lifetime..."

The two of them tried to get bored in the basement for a while, but the phone rang untimely. Yang Jing answered the phone and was really his mother.

"We've already passed Cangzhou. We can get to Yanjing South Railway Station in about 40 minutes. Come and pick us up quickly!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing shook her head and sighed helplessly, making gege laugh.

"Hurry up and don't waste time, or your parents will bear you again."

In this way, the couple drove with gifts. Morris and Clark drove a rented Koster minibus to the exit of Yanjing South Railway Station.

After waiting for a while at the South Railway Station, I saw a large family coming out of the station.

The Toyota Koster minibus rented by Yang Jing is prepared for a family of thirteen or fourteen people.

"Xiao Jing, how are the gifts you were asked to prepare?" as soon as she got on the bus, Yang Ma asked her son. Originally, according to the wishes of grandparents and aunts and uncles, this birthday gift was prepared by the family. Where did the elders celebrate their birthday? Several family gifts were prepared by a younger generation? That doesn't make sense.

It was Yang Ma who rejected this statement. In Yang Ma's words, my son doesn't need these things now. Let him prepare birthday gifts. It will certainly look very tall. Isn't this also a face fight for our parents?

Although Yang Jing's grandfather is the third oldest in the family, he is the eldest son to the letter. His second brother has celebrated his 80th birthday. Naturally, he can't be too poor as a eldest brother, but it's not a simple thing to prepare birthday gifts for the elderly, so Yang Ma simply handed them all over to her son.

The family knew that nephew had many good things and didn't need this money, so they agreed to Yang Ma's proposal. Now that Yang's mother has seen her son, she is of course concerned about this issue. If her son can't bring out good things, it will save her Li Ping's face.

The whole family also wants to save face, okay?

"Hey, hey, who dares not obey the Empress Dowager's wishes? Don't worry, mom, I've already prepared my second grandpa's birthday gifts." Yang Jing took out those birthday gifts from the trunk of the car from her pocket.

"Here, this is a gift from my grandfather and my grandmother, which is suitable for you to see?" Yang Jing took out a scroll and opened it. Although they couldn't understand what was written, the momentum of the calligraphy could be clearly felt, so they couldn't help nodding together.

Only after reading carefully, the old uncle asked with some surprise: "Xiaojing, is this the word of Zheng Banqiao?"

"Well, that's right. This picture is really a picture written by Zheng Banqiao, one of the eight monsters in Yangzhou."

"Yo, the value of this picture is great." my uncle banged yahuazi.

"Hey hey, don't you know, uncle? There are several paintings of turtle although life in the basement of my yard. Lao Zheng's painting can only be regarded as ordinary."

"Ah? Why do you still have?"

"Well, for example, Dong Qichang's, Tang Bohu's, Xu Wei's..." my uncle was speechless after listening.

I really can't help it. Who made the song "although the tortoise lives" written by Cao Cao, a generation of hero, too famous? In particular, the saying "an old horse lies in the Carpinus, with an ambition for thousands of miles" has become a unique saying for thousands of years. So since Cao Cao came down, many calligraphers have more or less written this poem, or a sentence in this poem.

At the beginning, the old man rowed and pulled good things at home, including these calligraphy and paintings. Among them, only "although the turtle is old", four or five were collected that year.

It's like that there is a picture of turtle though life written by Huang Tingjian in the Grand Canal Museum. It seems that Dong Qichang, Tang Bohu or Xu Wei can't compare with Huang Tingjian in calligraphy. After all, Huang Tingjian is one of the four famous calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Huang Tingjian is older.

Therefore, in the end, Yang Jing chose to hang Huang Tingjian's "turtle although life" in the Grand Canal Museum for exhibition. As for the remaining works, except Tang Bohu's "turtle although life" hanging in the wing room, the others are in the basement. This time, I just took it out as a birthday gift.

"Uncle, what do you think of this picture as a gift from my grandparents?" Yang Jing asked.

The old uncle shook his head helplessly and sighed: "your boy took out the words of Zheng Banqiao as a birthday gift. What else can I say? This must be possible."

"Hey, hey, that's it. Come on, you guys, look at the gifts I selected for you to see if you like..."
