In Laoshan Village, there was a rich man named Dugu who gave birth to five sons.

People say that the rich are fortunate and will not have to worry about retirement in the future.

The rich man was not satisfied. He said, "Liuliushun," so he adopted another son.

The tree has a large branch, and the family has a large cooking. When the six sons grew up, they started a family one after another. The rich man alone divided his land and property into six parts, of which the five sons took a share, and the adopted son and himself took half.

The following New Year's Eve, the rich man's wife ordered his maid to prepare dinner.

When the rich man heard this, he said disapprovingly, "What else do you want to cook? Let's eat at my son's house later. I don't believe my sons won't invite me to a reunion dinner."

The wife said, "Who knows? Just don't go hungry."

The firecrackers rang out one after another, and the villagers ate a reunion dinner with joy, but the rich man waited left and right, but no son came to invite him to the table.

At first, the eldest daughter-in-law said to her husband, "It's almost time to eat, go and invite the old man."

The eldest son heard it and said, "The second brother lives close by, maybe he called."

The second daughter-in-law also advised her husband to invite the father-in-law to the table, but the second son also said, "The third brother lives close, maybe he called."

The third son also thinks that the fourth son lives close by and should ask his parents to have a reunion dinner. The fourth son also thinks that the fifth son lives close by and should ask his parents to eat. The fifth son also thinks that the eldest should invite his father to dinner, on the grounds that the eldest should come according to the superiority and inferiority of the eldest and the younger.

The five brothers ate meat and drank wine in large bowls. They all thought that others would invite their parents to a reunion dinner, but no one would think it was the sixth brother, because he had never been close to them.

Due to the small amount of family property, the sixth son and his wife usually have to do some business to subsidize their family.

It was dark, and the maid had no choice but to cook and cook in the dark, which made the rich and his wife so angry.

"These white-eyed wolves!" The rich man cursed angrily.

The sixth son's business was very good that day, and he went home after dark. After cooking, the husband and wife came to the door to invite their parents to the table.

Hearing this, the rich couple wept and said, "We've eaten."

But the adopted son had to invite the two old men over no matter what, saying, "New Year's Eve, reunion dinner. It doesn't matter if you eat more or less, the two old men at least have to go and sit." The two old men had to go obediently.

On the Lantern Festival, the rich invite relatives, friends, and elders to drink alcohol.

During the dinner, the rich man asked, "Is there anyone here who hasn't eaten on New Year's Eve?"

Everyone shook their heads and said no, and said that they all had a good time eating.

At this time, the rich man stood up excitedly, trembling, and said, "There is a person who almost starved for New Year's Eve, he is me!" Then he told the whole story of New Year's Eve.

When everyone heard this, they all blamed the five sons for being ruthless and righteous, and praised the adopted six sons for their filial piety.

When word got around, a family wrote a couplet--

The upper link is: Kowloon to control floods and severe drought

The second couplet is: The five sons are reunited and the father is starving.
