At dinnertime, Jiang Ping fell asleep. Seeing that he was still asleep, the workers went home to eat and did not disturb his rest.
Zhu Yinglong's family of three was having dinner.
As his wife and son ate, they realized that Zhu Yinglong's expression was not right.
He could usually finish two big bowls of rice at a time, but today, he only took a few bites of the rice after holding it for a long time. He didn't even pick up a single piece of food.
This was very wrong!
"Hubby, what's wrong?"
His wife put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked with concern.
"Ah?"
Zhu Yinglong came back to his senses and pulled himself out of his thoughts.
Ever since he came back, he had been thinking about returning to his hometown. When he saw his wife asking, he took the opportunity to say.
"Mom called me today."
"Mom said that Little Treasure's tenth birthday is next month.”
His wife understood Zhu Yinglong very well. The child was already so big, how could she not know what he was thinking?
Looking at his conflicted expression, she knew that he wanted to go back to his hometown.
She had to take care of her work and her children's school.
Little Treasure's birthday was in the middle of September, and school had just started.
Moreover, neither of them had any holidays. If they went back to their hometown, it would take two days to travel back and forth. For a day at the birthday party, they would have to take three days off.
"We haven't been back for two years. Grandpa and Grandma miss Little Treasure too. Ten years old is considered a big birthday.”
His wife said understandingly.
Zhu Yinglong also thought so. Seeing that his wife had the same thoughts as him, he was instantly happy and turned to ask for his child's opinion.
"Where's Little Treasure?"
"I have no objections."
Zhu Bao replied expressionlessly with a straight face.
Speaking of which, his name was given by Grandma Wu. Their family had only one son for three generations, and they had an eldest grandson, Zhu Bao.
Zhu Yinglong thought of his grumpy old mother and did not have the time to eat. He quickly called his mother to tell her to coax the old lady to start school.
Then, the next day, Jiang Ping received a new mission order.
"Birthday party?"
Jiang Ping was a little puzzled after hearing Grandma Wu's words. In the world before he transmigrated, there was no custom of holding a 10th birthday party for children. At most, when the child turned 18, they would hold an adult ceremony.
"You haven't been in the village since you were young, so you might not know. There are quite a number of ten-year-old children holding birthday banquets in the countryside.”
Grandma Wu had been happy since she received her son's call last night. She came back from the vegetable garden early in the morning and brought some vegetables from her own vegetable garden to look for Jiang Ping.
Not to mention other villages, Jiang Ping's current reputation was known by everyone in the village. Who wouldn't think of Jiang Ping the first time they did something?
"There's time, but I might not understand the customs of birthday banquets. Grandma Wu, tell me in detail when the time comes.”
"There's nothing to pay attention to. We'll just set up a few tables and invite relatives and friends over to have a lively time.”
"Alright, then I'll take this job."
The system's mission had already appeared, and Jiang Ping accepted it without hesitation.
The banquet was held in mid-September, so he could still rest for half a month.
"Alright, it's settled then.”
Seeing that the matter had been confirmed, Grandma Wu left Jiang Ping's house with a smile on her face.
A certain auntie who happened to pass by saw her coming out of Jiang Ping's house with such a happy expression. It was obvious that something good had happened. She immediately quickened her pace and chased after her.
"Grandma Wu, why are you so happy?”
"Aiyo, nothing can escape your eyes.”
Grandma Wu didn't hide it when she was asked. She was just about to show off.
The aunt smiled as well. She held Grandma Wu's wrist with one hand and walked along.
It wasn't because she had sharp eyes, a bright smile on her face, and a different spirit. It was obvious that she was happy.
"My grandson is coming back for his tenth birthday next month. Hurry up and look for Master Xiaojiang.”
When the aunt heard that they were going to hold a banquet and that Jiang Ping was invited, the smile on her face immediately became more than a little enthusiastic.
This was truly a joyous occasion!
"Aiya! "That's really a joyous occasion. Your grandson is already so big. Auntie Wu, when the time comes, you have to invite my family to hold the banquet. I'll help you. I'm a good worker."”
In such a short period of time, the way she addressed him had changed from the usual Grandma Wu to the intimate Auntie Wu. It could be seen how charming this banquet was.
"Okay, okay, okay. How can I miss out on your family?”
Grandma Wu replied with a smile.
In the morning, all the well-informed families in the village knew that Grandma Wu's grandson was going to be 10 years old next month.
At this moment, some people remembered that ten years old could also hold a banquet.
This was another reason to eat.
"Is Daqiang's child about to turn ten? Should his family organize a banquet? If they did, should I go over and give them red packets to eat?”
When some people heard this news, they were crazily tempted. However, they were not familiar with Grandma Wu's family and thus targeted their relatives and friends.
"His child is only eight years old. It's still early.”
"Tsk, what a pity!"
