With a smile, she handed the bottle of wine to Zhang Guihua and explained, "Guihua, no need to be so polite with . I didn’t an anything else. As we agreed earlier, Dashan is going to help organize my father-in-law’s birthday at the end of the month. I thought of sending over a couple of bottles of wine to Dashan. He already has a lot on his plate, and I can’t just ask for a favor for nothing—this is just a gesture."
"Oh, that’s what it’s about. I wonder what else it could be. If you’d said earlier, I would have accepted it right away." Zhang Guihua said, happily taking the wine.
Helping to organize Old Grand Master Yuh’s birthday banquet had been long decided.
At the end of this month, Old Grand Master Yuh is turning ninety. In Stone Bridge Village, that’s considered quite elderly, and by rights, it should be a grand celebration.
In mid-month, soone from the Yuh Family ntioned this matter. The Jiang Family normally maintains a good relationship with the Yuh Family, so Jiang Dashan agreed without much thought.
With the achievents Jiang Mianmian has accumulated over the past few years, Changhai and his wife have secured formal jobs, elevating the status of the Jiang Family in the village and the entire production team.
Usually, when there’s a wedding, funeral, or birthday party in the village, people co to Jiang Dashan for help with organizing.
Old Lady Yuh, seeing that she accepted, happily clasped the old lady’s hand, "Guihua, make sure Changhai and his family co over for my father-in-law’s birthday celebration."
Now, Jiang Mianmian’s family’s status in the village is almost comparable to the village chief.
If they could be invited to the birthday party, it would be great to let their relatives and friends see, gaining much face.
Especially now that Su Wanyu will soon be working at the municipal governnt, the weight of their family’s influence has truly grown.
In fact, that was Old Lady Yuh’s real purpose for coming over today.
"Sure, the Eldest’s family hasn’t been back for several days. When I get so ti in a few days, I’ll go to the town to inform them." Zhang Guihua responded, not declining, agreeing straight away.
She hadn’t seen her little granddaughter for days and really missed her.
"Ah, that’s great. Guihua, that settles it then." Old Lady Yuh couldn’t suppress the smile on her face upon hearing the agreent.
"Yes, it’s settled."
The two chatted for a bit longer before Old Lady Yuh left satisfied.
After putting away the wine, the old lady shared with Jiang Dashan the plan to invite the Eldest’s family to the birthday banquet.
Jiang Dashan thought for a mont and said, "There are only a few days left until the end of the month. You might as well tell the village chief this afternoon to leave work an hour early, go straight to town to inform the Eldest. We shouldn’t tell them last minute when it’s too late, and make sure the Eldest sets aside the ti."
Now, the harvest in the fields is done, and there’s not much work left. Asking for an hour off, the village chief wouldn’t object.
Although Jiang Changhai resigned, he hasn’t been idle; the old couple doesn’t know what he’s busy with every day, but they know he’s not free either.
"That works. Then I’ll go next door to Old Zhang’s House and buy a hen to make chicken soup for the Eldest’s wife. I saw her staying up late reading last ti I was over. Now that she can work in the city, she must have put in a lot of effort." The old lady had a rare mont of affection for Su Wanyu.
Jiang Dashan nodded, "Alright, go ahead. Buy a big one, don’t spare the money, give Mianmian a bit of extra nourishnt too."
