Chapter 140 Go to celebrate birthday (3rd update)

Author: Dong Muhe

After pulling up the wheatgrass in the field for a while, Song Hongguo watered the row of fruit trees outside the wall. The apple trees and hawthorn trees planted by Sheng Zhongxin were growing well. She also used chemical fertilizers in private.

, so she seemed to be energetic now. After all the work was finished, it was already past ten o'clock, and she took the two children to change into clean clothes.

Both children were wearing her newly made clothes, with sweaters underneath. The shoes were cloth shoes that Zhao Zhenhua sent last time. They were not too fashionable, but they were more comfortable and ironed.

Song Hongguo dressed more casually, not as well as she did at work, but in her eyes, the casualness was also very decent in the eyes of others. After all, there was no patch on her body, and the color was not washed out.

Bai, the upper body is a slanted cotton-padded jacket, slightly longer, covering the buttocks, and the waist is slightly tucked in, making the figure look slim, but not too conspicuous. The color is a little nostalgic, but after wearing it, it looks

Dress elegantly and elegantly.

Below are black wide-leg pants, which are different from the fat and fat pants nowadays. They look loose, but very stylish. The upper and lower parts do not look bloated at all, but make the legs look longer and straighter.

Therefore, this outfit can be said to be casual but not too casual, and it can be said that it is formal but not too formal. It is just right. Whether it is celebrating a birthday or recognizing a relative, it is hard for people to choose.

The same goes for the gifts she prepared. There are four items in total, ten eggs, a pack of longevity cakes, eight green dumplings, and two canned fruits. Nowadays, when visiting relatives to give gifts, it is customary to give four items, and the other party will not accept them all.

, usually only half of it is left, and there are very few people who are not particular about people who leave too much, and they will be laughed at.

Her birthday gift is definitely considered heavy in the village, but it is not so heavy that people feel pressured or that they think she is showing off or something. After all, she has a formal job, eats food, and has a high salary.

If something is too light, she will be programmed to look down on others.

Sun Shuhong was a good person. She took the initiative to ask her to go with her to save her from feeling uncomfortable. She also wanted to lead her to recognize someone and give her support.

Song Hongguo was naturally grateful. On the way, she carefully asked the names of the relatives of the Zhao family and their seniority to avoid calling the wrong person.

If you want to live here permanently in the future, it is still necessary to build good relationships with neighbors and relatives.

The Zhao family is definitely the most popular surname in the Red Persimmon Brigade. Being able to form a small team is enough to show that there are many people. You must know that a small team requires more than twenty households, and the Zhao family has almost not even released the fifth server, but

Currently, there are only two families who are closest to Grandpa Song Hongguo.

One is the family of captain Zhao Baoqing, and the other is the family of Zhao Dejiang, whose birthday is today. Zhao Dejiang, her grandfather Zhao Deshan, and Zhao Baoqing's father Zhao Deshui are brothers. But now, her grandfather and Zhao Deshui have passed away, leaving only the third in line.

Zhao Dejiang.

The others are all cousins. They won't go to Zhao Dejiang's birthday today. Originally, the countryside didn't pay much attention to this. That is, those who have married daughters at home will rush back to their parents' birthdays to give them something.

It shows his filial piety, but he is a brother of the same race and does not want to join in the fun.

However, after all, Zhao Dejiang is the elder, and today is his birthday. Zhao Baoqing will still show some affection when he calls him his second uncle. Naturally, the same is true for her second aunt. In addition, she is his own biological daughter, and there are three of them.

If there is an accident, he will come, but Song Hongguo is actually optional. After all, there is another layer between her.

But since she went, it was on behalf of her biological mother.

Zhao Dejiang's family is located in the middle of the village. The yard is not small, but there are many people in the family. They built a circle of adobe houses, which makes it seem a lot crowded. He has four sons, and the family has not yet been separated. His grandson is

There are more granddaughters, especially the eldest grandsons, who are all married and have children. Four generations live under the same roof. Think about it and you will know how lively it is.

Sun Shuhong said that the old man still hopes that the five generations will live under one roof, and will not separate the family until then.

Having five generations living under one roof is quite enviable, but if they all lived together in the same courtyard, it would be terrible. Song Hongguo didn't dare to think about it anyway, and when she experienced it herself, she felt even more tired.

There are too many people, it would be a chaos.

There were fifty or sixty people in total, old and young, men and women, and there was no room in the main room. Most of them were standing in the yard. The children were running around and playing, making noises, talking, laughing, and scolding from a distance.

Song Hongguo had already started to have a headache.

Sun Shuhong had obviously been used to it for a long time, so she comforted her, "I'll take you in to put down the birthday gifts, say a few words to the third grandfather, and then recognize the relatives, and then we'll leave."

After saying that, he added a special sentence, "In the past, when the times were good, we could still have guests for dinner, but now every household can't even feed themselves. We really can't take care of so many people. I'm not just doing this to you.

Later, your second aunt and the third grandpa’s cousins ​​will have to go back to their homes to eat. It’s best to give them some food from those who live far away so that they won’t be too hungry on the way.”

Song Hongguo nodded quickly to express her understanding. Even if she was asked to stay, she would not be happy.

As soon as the two of them entered the yard, all the chattering people looked over. They had all returned from work in the fields. It was the time when people were at their most active. Who wouldn't be curious when they saw someone unfamiliar?

Sun Shuhong was familiar with them all. She called them one by one and introduced Song Hongguo. She made it very clear that she was the great-grandfather's niece and Zhao Yuzhi's daughter. However, she was adopted by others when she was very young and her surname was changed.

, but now by chance, I was assigned to the employee hospital of the aluminum factory and lived in the Tomato Brigade. From now on, I will never see you again, and there is that level of blood relationship, so naturally I have to recognize my relatives, and it will be easier to move around in the future.

Others had different thoughts after hearing this, and most of them were welcoming. After all, Song Hongguo seemed to be very well-educated, and she was also a doctor. With such relatives around, she might be able to use him at some point.

Even if you don't use it, it sounds good to the public, and some people are indifferent. They feel that how far apart they are, but they are still a girl with a different surname, so the relationship is too far. There are also some people who are unhappy, but it's not that they can't stand it.

Song Hongguo instead vented his anger.

For example, her second aunt Zhao Yulian.

Zhao Yulian was in the main room and did not get up when she heard the noise outside. It was not until Song Hongguo called everyone in the yard to come in one by one that she still twisted around and just talked to Zhao Dejiang's daughter-in-law Li Lanying.

On the other hand, Zhao Dejiang valued Song Hongguo's visit, especially after seeing the birthday gift in the basket. He smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face deepened, and his attitude towards her was very kind, and he did not act like an elder.
