What I want to do today is really quite big, nothing else, my second grandpa’s 80th birthday!

This matter was the news that Yang Jing had just received the day before yesterday. As soon as he got off the plane the day before yesterday, he received a call from his grandmother. His grandmother told Yang Jing about the news and told him that the second generation of the old Li family would go.

This is not a trivial matter. It is a great thing for an elderly person to celebrate his 80th birthday in any aspect.

The old saying goes, life is rare in seventy years old, and it is eighty years old. In ancient times, an old man of eighty years old was an absolute old birthday star. He could not worship him when he saw the emperor, and the emperor had to bow to you.

In ancient times, people with longevity must have great blessings, so even the emperor was willing to take advantage of this blessing.

Now, with the continuous improvement of living conditions and medical conditions, more and more elderly people are in their 80s. But no matter what, an elderly person in the family celebrates his 80th birthday. Not to mention that family, the entire family has to come to celebrate their birthdays as long as they have the conditions.

Look, when Yang Jing called his mother, she told her details.

Yang Jing has four grandfather and sisters, and grandfather is the third, but he is the eldest son of the family because he is two sisters above him. Grandpa's eldest sister passed away 20 years ago, and now there are three of them left. Grandpa's second sister, Yang Jing's second aunt, is also 90 years old this year. She is ten years older than Yang Jing's second grandfather, but her birthday is a little later, in September, so this year, not only will she celebrate the 80th birthday for her second grandfather, but also the 90th birthday for her second grandfather.

When the elderly at home celebrate their entire birthday, they always pass one year in advance, which means they pass the age of vain. So this year, two elderly people in the Li family celebrate their 80th and 90th birthdays respectively.

This is a great joy for the entire Li family. So this time, the second grandfather celebrated his 80th birthday, Yang Jing's family of three, Yang Jing's family of five, Yang Jing's family of three, Yang Jing's family of three, and Yang Jing's uncle and his wife will come. Li Yinuo cannot come because he needs to go to school, otherwise the girl will have to come too.

But Yang Jing didn't know his second grandfather's birthday, nor did he know his second aunt's birthday, so he didn't prepare anything in advance.

But since my mother explained the situation, Yang Jing had to prepare a gift.

Needless to say, the whole family has treasures here, so it is more than enough to pick out a few to use as birthday gifts.

Yang Jing knew that because his parents participated in the birthday celebration, their third-generation group did not have to give birthday gifts to the elderly alone. The second-generation people of the old Li family were all represented. Of course, if Yang Jing and the others wanted to give it, there would be no problem, but the value of the gifts given must not exceed the gifts given by the elders, otherwise it would be out of line.

In other words, Yang Jing needs to prepare four gifts for his mother and the others, and also one for his grandparents. Although his grandparents don’t come, they should also express their opinions.

Later, Yang Jing asked her eldest cousin again, asking her if she was going to give her birthday gift. Her eldest cousin said that those who got married and got married should not give her, but those who got married and got married should not give her. So Yang Jing prepared two more sets of gifts.

He and his eldest cousin have already got married and have to give their second grandfather a birthday gift. So Yang Jing prepared a total of seven gifts.

It would not be easy for others to prepare these seven sets of gifts in a hurry, but it was nothing to Yang Jing. There were many treasures in the basement of Hai Siheyuan. Those treasures were not qualified to be exhibited in the Grand Canal Museum, but they were also extremely precious antique artworks for ordinary people. Especially Lao Na really collected a lot of miscellaneous treasures back then, such as the Lion-headed walnuts in the Qing Dynasty, bird cages made of gold and silver inlaid with red sandalwood, and ivory carvings from the Qing Dynasty... So, Yang Jing just walked around the basement and prepared the birthday gifts he wanted to prepare.

However, while preparing the gift, the princess suddenly said, "Yang Jing, I suddenly remembered that my grandmother is going to celebrate her 80th birthday this year!"

"Ah? Your grandma is also a horse?"

"Well, I am a horse. This year it's seventy-nine weeks, and I'm 80 years old. But my grandmother won't celebrate her birthday until the end of the year."

"Madam, I won't say anything anymore. I will definitely choose a good gift for my husband."

The princess smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. I suddenly remembered what happened in the past few years. I still remember that when you first came back that year, we went to Uncle Jiang's place to choose a birthday gift for the grandma. You gave the grandma a bracelet carved with Hotan white jade. My grandma likes it so much, and I still wear it on my hands and can't bear to take it off."

"Hehe, madam, I used such a bracelet to fool you into using my husband..."

"Go, what are you talking nonsense!" The princess punched Yang Jing coquettishly, "I didn't follow you because of your treasures. When you were a poor boy, I fell in love with you with a keen eye. It was just that a fool was afraid of this and that, and I had to wait for several years! Humph, now you still have the nerve to say..."

Yang Jing was moved and grabbed his wife's hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, how can we see the rainbow without experiencing the wind and rain! Our relationship has been tested many times. In the future, our relationship will definitely be as solid as gold and solid as a soup! We will definitely go hand in hand together for the rest of our lives! I will also treat you well for the rest of our lives..."

The two of them wanted to get tired of them in the basement for a while, but the phone rang out of place. Yang Jing answered the phone and it was indeed my mother.

"We have passed Cangzhou and we will be able to reach Yanjing South Station in more than 40 minutes. Come and pick us up!"

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

"Go away quickly, don't waste time, otherwise your parents will be the one who will bear you again."

In this way, the couple drove the gift, and Morris and Clark drove the rented Coaster minibus to the exit of Yanjing South Station together waiting.

After waiting for a while at the South Station, I saw a whole family walking out of the station.

The Toyota Coaster minibus leased by Yang Jing was prepared for the family, and the whole family was at least thirteen or fourteen.

"Xiao Jing, how did you prepare the gift you prepared?" As soon as she got on the car, Yang's mother asked her son. According to the grandparents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, the birthday gifts were prepared at home. Where can elders celebrate their birthdays? How many families have gifts prepared by one junior? This is unreasonable.

It was Yang's mother who rejected this statement. In Yang's mother's words, her son is not bad at all these things now. If he asks him to prepare a birthday gift, it will definitely look very tall. Isn't this just a fight for our parents and mothers?

Although Yang Jing's grandfather is ranked third in the family, he is the eldest son. His second brother celebrates his 80th birthday. Naturally, he, the eldest brother, cannot be too shabby, but preparing a birthday gift for the elderly is not a very simple thing, so Yang's mother simply gave it to her son to do it.

Everyone in the family knew that my nephew had many good things and was not short of the money, so they agreed to Yang's proposal. Now that Yang's mother saw her son, she was of course concerned about this issue. If her son couldn't bring out good things, it would be a shame for her Li Ping.

The family also needs to be concerned about face, okay?

"Hehe, who dares not obey your Empress Dowager's decree? Don't worry, mom, I have already prepared my second grandfather's birthday gift." As he said that, Yang Jing took out the birthday gifts he took out from the trunk of the car from his pocket.

"Here, this is a gift from my grandpa and my grandma. Are you suitable for your staff? "As he said, Yang Jing took out a scroll and pulled it apart, although everyone couldn't understand what they were writing, the momentum of this calligraphy could make people feel clearly, so everyone couldn't help but nod.

Only after carefully reading it, my uncle asked in surprise: "Xiao Jing, is this Zheng Banqiao's word?"

"Well, that's right, this calligraphy is indeed a picture of "The Turtle's Longevity" written by Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou."

"Oh, then the value of this character will be great." My uncle sucked his teeth.

"Hehe, you don't know about uncle, right? There are several paintings of "The Turtle's Life" in the basement in my yard, and Lao Zheng's painting can only be considered ordinary."

"Ah? Why do you still have it?"

"Well, for example, Dong Qichang's, Tang Bohu's, Xu Wei's..." My uncle was speechless after hearing this.

There is really no way to do this. Who made the poem "The Turtle Although Longevity" written by Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, so famous? Especially the sentence "The old horse is in the stable and has ambition for thousands of miles", has become a quatrain for the ages. Therefore, since Cao Cao, many calligraphers have written this poem or a certain line in this poem.

At that time, Lao Na drew good things at home, including these calligraphy and paintings. Among them, Lao Na drew four or five paintings in "The Turtle Although Longevity".

It’s like there is a picture of "The Turtle's Life" written by Huang Tingjian himself hanging in the Grand Canal Museum. Whether it is Dong Qichang, Tang Bohu, or Xu Wei, it seems that he is not as good as Huang Tingjian in calligraphy. After all, Huang Tingjian is one of the four famous calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Huang Tingjian was earlier.

So, in the end, Yang Jing chose Huang Tingjian's "The Turtle Still Long" to the Grand Canal Museum for the exhibition. As for the remaining works, except for Tang Bohu's "The Turtle Still Long" in the wing room, the others were all in the basement. This time they happened to be taken out as a birthday gift.

"Uncle, how do you think this letter is used as a gift from my grandparents?" Yang Jing asked.

The uncle shook his head helplessly and sighed: "You kid have taken out Zheng Banqiao's word as a birthday gift. What else can I say? This must be OK."
