Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

Chen Zaiguang and Chen Zailong discussed the matter of going to the county guesthouse to meet their relatives for a long time. Finally, the fourth brother, Chen Zailong, fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly.

Chen Zaixing, who was keeping watch, covered his ears as he listened to his fourth brother's rhythmic snoring, which sounded like a train passing through a tunnel. Chen Zaiguang smiled and lay down on the bench in the corridor as well.

The reason Chen Zaiguang asked his fourth brother to go with him was that among the brothers, apart from the second brother Chen Zaisheng, the fourth brother was the most proper in dealing with people. The second brother was a cultured man, but unfortunately his health was ruined in those years.

The fourth brother, having followed his grandfather Chen Shengyu for a long time, was mature beyond his years. After the second brother, Chen Zaisheng, was exonerated, his mother had the brothers take turns using the brigade's old bicycle to take him to the county hospital for treatment.

He was working in the county's water transport department at the time. Whenever he came, he would go to his house, and his sister-in-law, Zeng Xia, would leave them food.

The third, fourth, and fifth brothers took turns driving the second brother to the county. Except for the fourth brother, the other two would just ride in silence, and once they arrived, they would go to see a doctor and leave.

Only the fourth brother knew to find an inn along the way to give his second brother a bowl of soup noodles to fill his stomach. If the sun was too strong, the fourth brother would also find a shady spot to escape the heat before continuing his journey.

The second brother told him all this, and Chen Zaiguang also approved of the fourth brother. Whenever there was good news, he would think of the fourth brother first and wanted to help him out.

The next day, Chen Zaiguang woke up hungry. He had only drunk half a cup of liquor the night before and hadn't eaten a single grain of rice. His stomach was growling loudly. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Zaixing sleeping soundly with his head tilted back on another bench.

Chen Zaiguang walked over, kicked Chen Zaixing, and said in a low voice, "I told you to keep watch, and this is how you keep watch?"

After saying that, he walked to the ward and opened the door. Chen Zaifang was sitting on the bed with his head propped up by his hand. His eyes were bloodshot, but he hadn't fallen asleep. When he saw Chen Zaiguang open the door, he hurriedly said, "Big brother, you're awake."

"How did it go?"

"The nurse just came and changed the IV drip, and took my temperature and everything," Chen Zaifang said, rubbing his tired face as he stood up.

Chen Zaiguang took out a dollar and a few tickets from his pocket. "Go outside and buy some food. Share it with the others later. After you finish eating, see if there are any empty beds. Find a place to lie down for a while."

"good!"

The fourth brother, Chen Zailong, and the others also woke up. They found a tap and splashed water on their faces to clean themselves up.

After eating the steamed buns and fried dough sticks that Chen Zaifang had bought, Chen Zaiguang gave a few more instructions to the people guarding the hospital before taking his bicycle and carrying his fourth brother to the county guesthouse.

Chen Zaixing watched his older and fourth brothers leave, wanting to follow them, but he didn't dare to ask, otherwise his older brother would really hit him.

Chen Zaiguang works at the county's water transport office, so he is familiar with the roads in the county town. He navigated the winding roads to avoid the commuters and parked his bicycle steadily in front of the county guesthouse. Just then, a policeman came in from outside with a lunchbox and was about to enter the county guesthouse.

Just as I was about to go up the stairs, I heard the two men who had arrived on bicycles ask the receptionist, "Excuse me, sir, I'd like to inquire whether any overseas Chinese who have returned to China to search for their relatives are staying at our county guesthouse?"

Li Mei sized up Chen Zaiguang, who had asked the question. "Why are you asking about this?"

Zhao Zhigang, who was about to deliver breakfast to Chen Dong's family upstairs, stopped and turned around, then came down to stand by the counter.

When Chen Zaiguang saw the policeman who was about to go upstairs come down, he said to Li Mei, "Comrade, don't misunderstand. It's like this: yesterday, the county police station sent people to our village with a photo and came to my house. My grandma said that it was my second uncle's cousin who came looking for us. The policeman who went also knew about this, so my grandma asked me to come and take a look first."

Zhao Zhigang placed the two lunch boxes on the counter, looked Chen Zaiguang and Chen Zailong up and down, and only after seeing the words "County Water Transport Bureau" on Chen Zaiguang's coat did he speak, "Comrade, please show your ID card and work permit."

"Okay," Chen Zaiguang took out his work ID and national ID card from his coat pocket. Zhao Zhigang looked at Chen Zailong beside him, and seeing that he didn't move, frowned and said, "Comrade, could you please show yours as well?"

"I brought my sister to the county hospital, and I was in such a hurry that I didn't bring anything with me," Chen Zailong replied.

After glancing at Chen Zaiguang's ID card and work permit, Zhao Zhigang confirmed Chen Zaiguang's identity. He then asked Wu Chunhua to go to Director Song Yuanchao's office to make a phone call to the institute and ask two people to come over. Only then did he say to Chen Zaiguang and his colleague, "You two sit here for a while. I estimate that Comrade Chen Dong and the others haven't gotten up yet. Let me tell them first."

"Okay, thank you for your help, officer!"

After Zhao Zhigang went back upstairs with two lunchboxes, Chen Zaiguang and Chen Zailong sat on the bench in the lobby to wait under Li Mei's scrutinizing gaze.

Inside the room, Chen Dong put the Simmons mattress and other items back into the system storage. After brushing his teeth, Xiao Chenhui's mother, Zhang Yi, carefully wiped his face with a towel, applied moisturizer, and rubbed his chubby little face, giggling.

"Knock knock," the door was knocked on. Chen Dong went to open it and saw that it was Zhao Zhigang who had entered. He smiled and said, "Is it your shift today, Comrade Zhao?"

"Yes," Zhao Zhigang replied with a smile, handing the two lunchboxes to Chen Dong before saying, "Comrade Chen, two people have come downstairs. They say they are your cousins ​​from Lianzhai Village, sent by your grandmother. They are waiting in the lobby downstairs. Would you like to go down and meet them after you finish eating?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong hurriedly said, "Oh dear, how can I let them wait downstairs? Honey, Jimmy, hurry up, our relatives are waiting downstairs, let's go down and see them."

Upon hearing Chen Dong's words, Zhang Yi quickly took Chen Hui's hand and walked over. Together with Chen Dong and Zhao Zhigang, they hurried downstairs. As they walked, Chen Dong asked Zhao Zhigang who he was.

Upon learning that he was the eldest son of his uncle Chen Xiangui, Chen Dong's face lit up with long-lost excitement. He was finally going to meet the family member his grandfather had been longing to see.

The crisp clicking of Zhang Yi's high heels and the muffled thud of Chen Dong's leather shoes came from the stairs. Chen Zaiguang and Chen Zailong, who were sitting on the bench in the lobby, hurriedly got up and looked up at the stairs. They saw the policeman leading a family of three well-dressed people down the stairs.

When Chen Dong saw Chen Zaiguang's face, he immediately felt that this was a descendant of his great-uncle. The resemblance was too great, especially the eyebrows and eyes, which looked just like the appearance of his great-uncle Chen Shengyu when he was young in the old photos.

Chen Zaiguang was also sizing up Chen Dong. Chen Dong, wearing a casual gray suit jacket, was all smiles and walked briskly toward them. He really looked a lot like his second uncle in the old photos when he was young.

"You must be Brother Zaiguang, and this must be Brother Zailong. I've finally found you!" Chen Dong excitedly shook hands with the two men in turn.
