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

"Dongzi is here. Come, sit here with your aunt."

As soon as Chen Dong entered the house, everyone stood up and greeted him with smiles. Chen Dong walked to Grandma Wei Shufen's side, pulled up a chair and sat down with a smile, "Uncle, have you told everyone everything?"

Chen Xiangui said, "I did say that, but according to your aunt's wishes, your sister Lianzhu and sister Lianzhen should also be treated equally. Tomorrow, I'll have the fourth son go to the county to find three sets of jewelry. Each of the three girls will get one set, and Lianzhu and Lianzhen will also receive a share of the profits!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong gave a thumbs-up to Grandma Wei Shufen and praised her, "Grandma, you're such a kind person, you treat everyone equally, hahaha!"

She's like a little kid, so give her some praise to cheer her up and make her happy!

"Hehehe," Old Mrs. Wei Shufen smiled so much that her eyes narrowed when Chen Dong praised her like that. She reached out and patted the back of Chen Dong's hand and said, "It's not that I, this old woman, am fair. It was your older brother Zaiguang's idea."

"He treats his three younger sisters equally! They're all from our Chen family who married out, so we, their maternal family, must support them!"

"Dad, why don't you straighten your back a bit too!"

A clear, childlike voice suddenly broke in, tinged with a hint of coquettishness. Chen Huiqin, who had been nestled close to her mother Zeng Xia, blinked her big eyes and said in a sweet voice, "I want jewelry too! My aunts all have some, but I don't!"

The little girl was only ten years old, with a ponytail, wearing a snowflake dress given to her by her aunt Zhang Yi, and a pair of small leather shoes. Her face was flushed from the heat in the room, and she was looking at her father Chen Zaiguang with anticipation.

"That's all your business," Zeng Xia laughed in exasperation, poking her daughter's forehead with her finger. "How old are you? You already want a set of jewelry like your three aunts. You're so proud of yourself. Your hair isn't even fully grown yet. Here's a hair tie, just tie it up!"

"Hehehe!" Chen Huiqin stuck out her tongue at her mother Zeng Xia in a mischievous way, making everyone burst into laughter.

Huang Lanzhi lovingly hugged her eldest granddaughter, stroking her head and saying, "If Huiqin wants it, wait a few years until you're a bit older. Grandma will save the set of jewelry your second great-uncle gave you for your wedding, okay?"

"Really!"

Chen Huiqin's eyes lit up like little stars as she looked up at her rosy-cheeked baby, exclaiming happily, "You're so good to me, you're the best friend in the world!"

"You ungrateful little thing, yesterday your second aunt gave you a pair of little leather shoes, and you even said that you and your second aunt were the best of friends in the world. Today your grandma said she would give you jewelry, and you've already forgotten about your second aunt," Zeng Xia rolled her eyes at Chen Huiqin.

Chen Dong laughed heartily and said to Chen Huiqin, "Huiqin, when you get married, I'll have your aunt invite a designer from New York to design a wedding dress and jewelry specifically for you."

"Uncle Dong, you're the best!"

Huang Lanzhi, still holding Chen Huiqin, laughed in exasperation. She lightly patted her granddaughter's head and scolded her with a smile, "Your mother was right to scold you, you little ungrateful thing."

"Hehe! Grandma, you're the best too! Mom, Second Aunt, Uncle Dong, everyone's great!"

Chen Huiqin quickly hugged her grandmother Huang Lanzhi's neck, her little mouth as sweet as honey, and began to make amends, her cleverness bringing another round of laughter.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing my precious great-granddaughter," Grandma Wei Shufen said with a smile, beckoning Chen Huiqin over and saying to her, "I'll leave my old tricks to you. When you get married, I'll personally put them on you."

"Mmm, Grandma, then I'll have three sets! Hehe!"

Chen Zaisheng immediately joked, "Our little Huiqin has become a little rich girl. She has already reserved three sets of jewelry."

"Hahaha!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, everyone was having a great time, teasing the younger generation. Luckily, little Chen Rongguo hadn't returned from America with his brother Chen Ronghui, otherwise they would have all been teasing him.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, Chen Dong suddenly remembered that he had something else to discuss with his uncle, Chen Xiangui. "Uncle," he said, "I have something else to say. This year, regarding the company's profit sharing, I was thinking that while our third branch of the family will receive a share, should we also give a small token to the other family members?"

After Chen Dong finished speaking, Chen Xiangui, with a cigarette in his mouth, thought for a moment and then said, "Dongzi, it's good that you have this intention, it's good that you think of your clan, it shows that you haven't forgotten your roots, and your uncle is happy!"

"But with so many people in the clan, there are too many opinions. In my opinion, when we hold ancestral worship during the New Year, we can just have a banquet and let everyone have some fun. There's no need to divide it all up."

"Yes, Dongzi, a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment. If you take too little, each household won't get much. It would be better to hold a banquet, so the whole clan can celebrate the ancestral worship in a lively atmosphere, and then everyone can go home after the meal," Old Mrs. Wei Shufen also advised.

Chen Dong nodded, "We'll do as my aunt and uncle say, then we'll just have a banquet then."

"If you ask me, if we're really going to have a banquet, let's make it big and invite the whole village," Chen Zailong chimed in. "If we only invite people from the Chen clan and not others from other surnames in the village, people will inevitably gossip. It's better to invite everyone!"

Chen Zaiguang agreed with his fourth brother, Chen Zailong, saying, "Fourth brother is right. If we only invite our own Chen family members, people will gossip. Dongzi, don't worry about the expense; I'll pay for the banquet!"

"Hey! Big brother, it was agreed that I would treat you, don't argue with me," Chen Dong thought the banquet wouldn't cost much.

Over the past year, Lianzhai Village and the surrounding villages have sold sweet potatoes and other produce to Guangdong Company at prices that Chen Dong considers practically free.

It's the end of the year, and everyone's share of the money has been distributed. Chen Dong felt he couldn't be too stingy. Chen Zailong hadn't brought it up, so Chen Dong felt he should treat the villagers to a meal to express his gratitude.

"Third Brother, I'll leave the arrangements for the banquet to you," Chen Dong said, turning to Chen Zaiguang, who hadn't said much but always had a simple, honest smile on his face. "Tomorrow, go to the finance department and get five thousand yuan to make the purchases. If it's not enough, just let me know, and I'll talk to the finance department."

"Okay," Chen Zaiguang replied readily.

"We'll try to hold it before the end of the year. After the banquet, I have to go back to New York. Your sister-in-law is getting more and more pregnant, and I'm worried about her, so I have to go back and check on her."

"Okay, Dongzi, don't worry, I can get everything ready for you in five days at most," Chen Zaiguang assured him.

"Dongzi, when you go back this time, don't rush back. Wait until Xiaoyi gives birth and her postpartum period is over before bringing the baby back for me to see," said Old Mrs. Wei Shufen.

"Okay, I'll bring the baby over then and ask you for a big red envelope to bring good luck to the child!"

"good!"

Grandma Wei Shufen beamed with joy and readily agreed.
