And tomorrow is Grandpa Kang’s big birthday. Captain Kang, Big Uncle Kang, and Young Uncle Kang, the three brothers, discussed it. Since they were going to throw a big celebration, they decided to invite all the fellow villagers too.
In other words, friends and relatives coming to congratulate him on his birthday goes without saying, but if any villagers come to offer their wishes, they’ll be welcomed in the same way.
With that, it’s looking like there will only be more banquet tables needed tomorrow, not fewer.
After several rounds of discussion, Captain Kang and his brothers decided to prepare extra tables for the banquet to make sure everyone who comes to celebrate will have a seat, but none of them expected that even more people would show up than they’d estimated.
Not only did every household in the village send someone, but even people from the surrounding villages came when they heard that Old Kang from Aoli Village was celebrating his eightieth birthday. They traveled a long way to give their wishes to Grandpa Kang.
No doubt, all these people came because of Kang Li.
After all, Kang Li did practical things and good deeds for everyone, offered local folks a chance to work at the factory, and helped many families improve their financial situation. Now that there’s a chance to show their gratitude, how could they miss it?
Honestly, not only did Captain Kang and his brothers not expect people from all the nearby villages to come celebrate Grandpa Kang’s birthday—even Kang Li herself didn’t see it coming.
So, for Grandpa Kang’s eightieth birthday, the Kang Family ended up hosting a continuous village banquet.
If they ran out of ingredients, someone would drive out to buy more immediately.
The Kang Family and the fellow villagers who came to help were so busy they barely touched the ground.
Close to eleven at noon, the arrival of the township officials and county leaders pushed Grandpa Kang’s birthday celebration to a new high point.
Because there were too many people on Big Uncle Kang’s side, the special table set up for the leaders was placed at Kang Li’s house. Once the county and township leaders had almost finished eating, Kang Li announced the opening date of the Ecological Recycling Park after the new year and extended her invitation to everyone.
The leaders, of course, all responded with big smiles, thanking Kang Li for bringing economic growth home and offering jobs to fellow villagers... One expression of gratitude after another, plus lots of praise for Captain Kang for raising such a good daughter.
Before seeing the leaders off, Kang Li brought up the matter of starting a clothing factory.
To her surprise, as soon as Kang Li started talking, the county leader was quick to say, "Whatever you need, just ask." He also instructed the township officials to actively cooperate and support the founding of Kang Li’s clothing factory.
The implication: things like choosing the factory’s location, how much space is needed, and so on—Kang Li wouldn’t need to worry about a thing. The township would do everything it could to meet all her needs.
"Li Bao, are you sure you want to open a clothing factory in town?"
After seeing off the county and township leaders, Kang Guozhu asked Kang Li.
"Mm-hmm."
Kang Li nodded slightly.
"Anything you need your brother’s help with?"
