Gu Xiande cupped his hands in greeting and said to the people in the room, "Alright, alright, alright. I'm already so old but I still troubled everyone to come here. I'm truly apologetic."
Everyone congratulated him in unison. All of them said, "Old Gu, happy birthday."
"Old Gu, many happy returns of the day."
"Alright, alright. Have a seat, everyone."
Of course, Gu Xiande came directly to the main table. He looked around at everyone and smiled. He said, "Thank you for your trouble over the past few days."
"Grandfather, happy birthday," Gu Jingze and a few other younger ones first said.
Gu Xiande looked very happy as he sat down. Although he always said that he liked the quiet, he ultimately still felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw everyone gathered together.
Just then, several relatives who had no place at the main table came to give a toast to Gu Xiande.
