Just thinking about the delicious aromas wafting from the He family's small kitchen these days made Jia Zhangshi swallow hard.
She hasn't had any oil or fat in her belly for a long time.
If we let her host the banquet, then everyone can eat to their heart's content.
"Do we need to bring anything? What would be appropriate? We don't have any money for a gift."
"No need for monetary gifts, just two eggs for each person will suffice."
"Our family can't even afford to eat eggs."
"Then get a piece of clothing for the child."
"There's no extra fabric at home. Do you expect me to cut fabric? That would just cost more money."
"How could you be so silly? Why didn't you take out Dongxu's clothes from when he was a child? Children wear clothes made from scraps of different families. I was planning to bring my daughter's clothes from when she was a child to him."
She had taken apart and washed Jia Dongxu's clothes from when he was a child countless times.
First it was used as a patch, then as a sock, and later it became so worn out that it was used as a rag.
"Auntie, Dongxu's clothes from when he was little are so many years old, I have no idea where they are. Why don't you lend me one of your daughter's clothes, I'll take it to the gift?"
The three aunts would never lend it to her.
Besides, her daughter has never had a single piece of clothing bought for her since she was born.
All her clothes were hand-me-downs from her older brother.
It's now a patch-on-patches situation.
I finally found something presentable, how could I possibly give it to Jia Zhangshi!
The other people in the courtyard thought the same thing as the third aunt.
They had all heard that He Hongyang was going to hold a full-month celebration for his child, and they were all waiting for him to invite them.
But no matter how long they waited, he never showed up.
Later, they simply discussed and decided on it together.
On the day of the full moon celebration, they went directly to sit at the banquet.
Anyway, we're all in the same department, and this is a happy occasion.
He probably wouldn't kick him out.
Thinking this, each family dug out their own tattered clothes.
I'll wait until the day I get my seat to receive it.
Moreover, these days, everyone is trying to save as much as possible, and they almost always eat the thinner food instead of the dry food.
Everyone is saving their appetite for the full moon celebration, when they can feast to their heart's content!
this day.
The He family members were dressed in a smart and glamorous manner.
Even Wang Liying, who hadn't left the house before, came out.
Watching the family walk out in an orderly fashion.
The three women hurriedly stopped them and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Take the kids out for a look around."
When is the baby's one-month celebration? Is it in the next few days?
"Yes."
"Don't forget to call us then, I've prepared everything."
He Hongyang did not answer her question.
He led his family straight out the door.
Actually, today is the day his daughter celebrates her one-month birthday!
He certainly knew what the people in the courtyard were thinking.
They also knew that the family was eyeing their house every day, hoping to have a big meal at their house during the full moon celebration.
There are dozens of people in the courtyard house. If they all come, how much food will they have to eat?
So he had no intention of holding it in the courtyard at all.
Instead, they went directly to the factory's canteen.
The place is big, and there's a silly guy like Zhu who's in charge of cooking.
The factory's logistics department specially reserved the entire canteen for him.
The inside is now brightly decorated and bustling with activity.
The three women watched them leave.
He kept muttering to himself, "When they get back, I'm going to ask them when the full moon celebration is. Even if I have to ask Lao Yan to take a day off work, I'll still go!"
Upon arriving at the steel rolling mill canteen, it was already bustling with activity.
Almost everyone was there.
0 ····Request flowers···· ··
Sha Zhu led the people to work busily in the canteen.
Li Huaide and Zhang Dajun stood outside, one on each side, helping him greet the guests.
I saw him holding the child.
Smiling, she hurried over to greet him.
"You're really patient; you only arrived after all the guests had come."
"I'm not in a hurry at all because I have two senior directors helping me out."
"Haha, you're completely content now that you have a daughter, you're both a wife and a mother-in-law, so why are you still holding the baby yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Liying and Zhao Ailing, who were following behind, immediately tried to take the child from them.
"She's sleeping soundly. I'll hold her for now, otherwise she'll wake up if I switch hands."
The two people looked at the child in his arms.
I have never seen such a beautiful little girl before.
She had a pinkish complexion and her skin was fair and translucent.
Big eyes, a high nose, small lips, and two dimples on her face.
It's like a piece of fine jade carving, so beautiful that you can't put it down.
No wonder he's He Hongyang's child, he looks almost exactly like him!
It's true that if parents are good-looking, their children are bound to be good-looking too.
When He Hongyang told them that he was going to throw a big banquet for his daughter, everyone was very surprised.
She's just a girl, after all.
Even if you want to have a full moon celebration, just set up a table at home and invite a few close friends for a drink.
Such a lavish banquet for a daughter is a rare sight in the entire city of Beijing.
Then look at how much he loves his daughter.
He values his daughter even more than his son.
Li Huaide pulled him aside and whispered, "Don't you have a secret recipe for having a son? Why didn't you use it yourself?"
"It's something that happens naturally. I never force it, and I just happen to like daughters."
.... . 0
Li Huaide looked at him with admiration.
His ideas were different from everyone else's.
Thinking of his daughters.
Actually, daughters are good too, but his family in his hometown always wanted to have a son to carry on the family line, so he was anxious to have a son.
He nodded repeatedly: "My daughter is wonderful. A daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket. This daughter will definitely treat you very well in the future."
There were more than a dozen tables in a row.
All the important people from the steel rolling mill came.
The manager of the grocery store has arrived.
Even the factory manager from Zhao Ailing's factory came.
A lot of people came to the street.
There are also people from Dahuaishu Village and Liujia Village.
Everyone was only doing it because of He Hongyang.
These people were shocked when they heard that he was going to hold a full-month celebration for his daughter.
I thought I misheard, that he had given birth to a son.
But seeing how much he dotes on his daughter today...
They all exclaimed in praise.
Especially the women.
I envy Wang Liying's good fortune in finding such a good man!
If their first child was a daughter, their husbands would definitely either throw things around or sigh and complain; they would never have hired so many people for their daughter.
“Look at his wife, she looks even better than before she gave birth. I don’t know what she ate during her postpartum period, but her face doesn’t look haggard at all; on the contrary, she looks radiant.”
"Naturally, it's because her husband takes good care of her, she's in a good mood, eats well, and her overall condition is naturally good."
"I really envy her. She found such a man. After having a daughter, he not only didn't blame her, but also took her to throw a big banquet for her daughter."
“I envy her daughter even more. I heard the child’s name is He Wennuan. He Hongyang is so protective of her. Look at how nervous he is. Since he arrived, he has been holding his daughter the whole time. If my husband were like him, I would be so grateful.”
"Have you noticed that he's become more handsome in the few years he's been at the factory, especially his physique? In the summer when he wears less clothing, I counted, and he has a full eight-pack."
"What are you thinking? He invited you here today for a feast, not to see a man. Don't forget that he not only has a wife, but also children. You can't keep thinking about him."
"Oh dear, does having a daughter mean I can't have feelings for her? Everyone loves beauty, and I'm just envious."
The women's eyes were all on He Hongyang.
All the men's eyes were on Zhao Ailing.
People didn't know that Zhao Ailing was his mother-in-law; they thought she was his sister-in-law.
For the past six months, she has been eating well at the He family's house, and she feels comfortable.
Not only does she receive a salary every month, but the entire He family also takes special care of her.
He Hongyang even bought her several outfits.
She also said that after the New Year, she would ask the factory manager to make her a permanent employee, and then she would be able to earn 27 yuan a month.
When you're in a good mood and eat well, you naturally look younger.
She naturally has a great temperament.
Compared to when she first arrived, her skin is several shades lighter now, and her figure is getting better and better.
Although today is a grand occasion for celebrating a baby's one-month birthday.
But she wasn't intimidated at all.
Following behind He Hongyang, they busied themselves inside and out.
Serving dishes, fetching wine, and helping with the arrangements.
Their efficiency and speed are enviable.
He doesn't look 40 at all.
