Chapter 869 The child’s full moon party!
"Dongfang, congratulations on becoming a grandfather. Let's have a drink." Uncle Guan and others congratulated Cao Dongfang with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Guan. How are you guys doing lately?"
"We are all fine, playing chess and bragging, and not having to worry about family matters. The world is changing very fast now, so why don't you be a little busier?
Old Li is old and has been in poor health recently. At the age of 84, and also a grandfather, there is no good way to deal with the problem, but he is in good spirits.
Don't you care about yourself? You always think that this life is worth it." Uncle Yu said about old man Li.
"I'm busy these days. I'll go see Uncle Li in a few days. I wonder if he has any regrets as he's getting older and better."
"Probably not. I've never heard him say that. His three children are filial. His son lives with them, and his two married daughters often come back to visit them.
Lao Li has some money, so he should be living a good life. He has never said anything he is not satisfied with in front of us. "Uncle Guan replied.
"I'll have time to go check it out in a couple of days. It's better to have fewer regrets in life. You guys drink slowly, I'll go take care of them."
"You go and get busy."
"Hello, relatives. I heard from Yourong that you are preparing to retire. Isn't it a few years too early?" Cao Dongfang came to the table of Kuang Yourong's relatives and friends. Song Xianxian had just left.
"Hello, Minister Cao. I'm about to reach the age limit. It's less than three years away. There's no point in occupying the position."
Youming has been a deputy director for forty years, just like me, so there is no need for me to stay in the position.
I'll go back and complete the retirement procedures, and we'll come to Sijiucheng to see the kids and rest for a few years. "Father Kuang is quite open-minded.
"It's good this way. The children are all in Sijiu City, so it's good for them to come here. I can play with my grandchildren for a while when I have nothing to do. There's no need to tire myself out." Cao Dongfang nodded.
"I'm sorry, Yourong gave birth to two girls this time. Let her give birth again..." The mother-in-law was still worried that Cao Dongfang would be unhappy. Yangyang was the only son in the family.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. We don't discriminate against boys in our family. Boys and girls are the same.
In the future, it depends on what Yangyang and Yourong want. If they want to have a baby, they can have it. If they don’t want to have a baby, that’s fine too. I will treat them equally.” Cao Dongfang knew what his mother-in-law was thinking.
"Having more children won't have any impact on Minister Cao, right? The country still allows people to have only one child..."
"Yangyang is eligible to have more children, and two children is not a small number. It is up to the young couple to decide what they want to do, and we will not interfere.
Do you have any questions in Sijiu City? If you have any, please tell me. I haven’t asked you for a long time.” Cao Dongfang asked Kuang Yourong’s brother and sister.
"Minister Cao, we are fine here, nothing is wrong." The siblings replied.
2That's good. If you have something to say, just speak up. Don't be polite. We are all family. Let's have a couple of drinks."
"Minister Cao, please."
"Xu Damao, Liang Ladi, what are you talking about here again? It seems that Xu Damao has the upper hand." Cao Dongfang came to the wine table in the compound.
"Congratulations, Dongfang, you have grandchildren now. Try to have two grandchildren next time." Xu Damao actually prefers boys to girls.
"Congratulations Dongfang, let's have a drink." Liang Ladi always speaks directly.
"No problem, you can drink as much as you want, or you women can gather together and we can drink cup by cup." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
"I won't drink more with you. We know how much you can drink. There's no way you can get us drunk." Liang Ladi knew Cao Dongfang's alcohol tolerance.
"How did you know? That little traitor He Yushui told you." Cao Dongfang reacted.
"Yu Shui is not a traitor. We have seen you drink better than Xu Damao, so we won't drink with you." Qin Huairu also knew it.
"What do you mean I should make Xu Damao 'drink well'? Damao is an honest man and he doesn't play tricks when drinking. Do you think he is the same as you guys?" Cao Dongfang said with deliberate contempt.
"Who are you looking down on? Just drink if you want to. There are so many of us and we are afraid of you." Liang Ladi got angry.
"Liang Ladi, I admire your heroic spirit. This is what it means for women to be as good as men. How do you drink?" Cao Dongfang gave a thumbs up and praised Liang Ladi.
Nan Yi rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky in silence. Liu Guangqi saw Qin Mingru and other women eager to try, sighed and tried hard to eat the food. What silly women.
So, at this table, Cao Dongfang started drinking with all the women in the compound, including Yu Li and He Yushui. They had to drink and could not be separated from the masses.
After half an hour, a dozen women staggered and drank until they were done, and the remaining seven or eight women refused to drink even if they were beaten to death. They had drunk more than ten kilograms of wine.
"Aren't you going to drink anymore? I'm almost done. If you don't try to make me finish drinking, you can record and take pictures." Cao Dongfang said deliberately.
"I don't believe it. Xu Damao and Lao Wanzhu are going to have a drink with you, so drink it well." Xiao Zhu's wife is really sensible.
"Come on, Damao. I won't take advantage of you. We don't need one big and three small. We can fight nine of us one on one."
"No problem, I've never been afraid of anyone when I drink." Xu Damao claimed to be undefeated in both the East and the West.
Then after drinking nine cups of wine, I lay on the table and dreamed about what I had done. I have a really poor alcohol tolerance.
Xiao Zhu didn't dodge either. He was only slightly stronger than Xu Damao, and he was still swaying even though he didn't lie down.
After drinking three more cups with Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng and others, he went to see Lu Fang. Ma Fu and Ma Kangri were out traveling and did not come.
"Dongfang, you are still the best. You have made more than a dozen people 'drunk'. You are still the same good-for-nothing as always." Lu Fang teased.
"Xiao Luzi, let's go. With Wang Hui here, you don't have to worry about not being able to return home." Cao Dongfang sneered.
"I'm not stupid. Why should I drink with you if I can't drink more than you? Did you know that we are going to the Eagle Sauce territory to provide construction assistance?" asked Lu Fang.
"The request of the Mud Monkeys is that there are too few of their people in the Eagle Sauce territory, and they cannot complete the construction even if they build it for decades. They are planning to send some people over to speed up the construction there."
"Instead of sending a few people, they hope to send 10 to 20 million people over there. This is also aid construction, not going to fight a war?" Lu Fang complained.
"Twenty million people are really not a lot. They pay for it themselves, so it's not a bad thing. Maybe there will be some, maybe not. You just need to be obedient and do your job." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
“I know you have a plan, but we cannot transport the first batch of 5 million people that we promised because the country does not have enough ships.
We were either transporting oil, various supplies, military equipment or people, and we couldn’t find any means of transportation. “Lu Fang was very worried.
"Well, I can help you with this. The ship that transports military equipment, you stay and transport the people, is that okay?"
"Of course we can. Of course we can. Won't you be affected? This is a big deal." Lu Fang was still worried.
"Don't worry about this. I'll go back and make arrangements. You guys just transport the people and don't have to worry about our affairs." Cao Dongfang was very confident.
"Listen to you."
At 1:40 in the afternoon, the full moon banquet for the two children officially ended, and everyone said goodbye and went home.
"These two little ones became wealthy ladies after one month. Each of them has gold ornaments, and there are more than 40 longevity gold locks alone.
None of the jewelry here is silver, all are gold jewelry, and they all belong to rich people. "When Song Xianxian returned home, she saw all kinds of jewelry on the table.
"They are all Ningning and Jingjing's. Keep them and give them to them when they grow up. Yangyang and the others also have some."
"The little hand and foot ornaments are very delicate, but it's a pity that I can't wear them when I grow up." Jia Jia was quite envious.
"Do you need our mother to give you a few to wear? There were none when you were born." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
"No need. I have money to buy jewelry. These are for children. I don't want them." Cao Jiajia spoke generously.
"Haha, I'd be mad at you."
