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

"Auntie, Aunt, we're back!"

At the threshold of the ancestral home, Grandma Wei Shufen was being helped by her eldest daughter-in-law, Huang Lanzhi. Her kind smile was full of joy. The afternoon sun slanted down onto her silver hair. She leaned down with her cane and walked down with brisk steps.

Grandma Wei Shufen had already seen the swaddled baby in Zhang Yi's arms. She smiled and stepped forward, lowering her voice so as not to wake her great-niece, "Oh my! Let this old woman see my great-grandson, oh my! My precious darling!"

The mischievous kids in the car, like tiger cubs released from their cages, started yelling and shouting, "Grandma, we rode in Uncle's car today, it was so safe!"

"Grandma, my brother and I have come back from America to see you," Xiao Chenhui and Xiao Rongguo rushed up and each hugged one of Grandma Wei Shufen's legs, making the old lady beam with joy.

"Good, good, good boys, it's good to see you back. Little Rongguo has even gotten a bit chubby," Grandma Wei Shufen bent down and touched the two little ones' faces. "Now that you're back, Grandma is relieved!"

Zhang Yi revealed her daughter's face and carried her to Old Madam Wei Shufen. Huang Lanzhi also came closer and whispered, "Mother, look at this girl's eyes and eyebrows, they look so much like Dongzi's, she's so adorable!"

Grandma Wei Shufen immediately straightened up and saw the exquisitely beautiful little Huiyi in the swaddling clothes, her eyes filled with sweetness. She carefully took the swaddling clothes from Zhang Yi's hands. When little Huiyi saw the old lady, she immediately started to laugh.

"Mother, look, she's smiling!" Huang Lanzhi giggled. "This girl is destined to be with you!"

Grandma Wei Shufen's hands, covered in age spots, trembled as she carefully touched the delicate little face in the swaddling clothes. Little Huiyi smiled brightly, as if this was her great-grandmother, and began to babble.

"Grandma, Mom, I'm back," Chen Lianxiang said as she got out of the car, carrying the milk powder for Xiao Huiyi, and walked to Huang Lanzhi's side.

When Huang Lanzhi saw her eldest daughter, her eyes immediately reddened. She reached out to take the things her daughter was carrying, saying, "Lianxiang, you look much better, but you haven't gained weight. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Grandma Wei Shufen, still holding little Huiyi, didn't hear Chen Lianxiang's greeting at all. She was still playing with her babbling great-grandson, saying, "My sweetie is back on the big plane, don't be afraid, we're home!"

Chen Zaixing, pulling on Chen Dong and his wife's luggage, teased Grandma Wei Shufen, "Grandma, my sister's calling you! Now that you have a great-grandson, you don't even want your granddaughter anymore!"

"I heard you, I heard you, you brat!" Old Mrs. Wei Shufen reached out to slap Chen Zaixing. "If you scare my precious great-grandson, I'll have your father beat you!"

"Come on, come on, let's go inside. Don't just stand here," said Grandma Wei Shufen, as she handed Xiao Huiyi to Zhang Yi and was then helped by Chen Dong into the ancestral home.

Elena followed behind Zhang Yi, curiously looking around the Chen family's ancestral home, and asked Xiao Chenhui, "Jimmy, is this your daddy's home in China? It looks so historic."

"Aunt Elena, this is my great-grandfather's old house. Our home is over there," Xiao Chenhui pointed to the small Western-style building not far away, where the newly pasted Spring Festival couplets on the door were still glowing red.

"I'm home!"

As soon as Chen Zaixing entered the ancestral home, he shouted loudly. Several of his sisters-in-law came out of the kitchen. Old Mrs. Wei Shufen waved to her eldest daughter-in-law Zeng Xia and said, "Xia, we're having a family dinner tonight. Have Zaiguang go to the supermarket to buy some beef."

"Grandma, my older brother bought it and put it in the kitchen a long time ago," Chen Zaixing put down his luggage, and together with Chen Dong helped the old lady sit down before heading to the kitchen to bring out the tender beef that his sisters-in-law had cut.

"Go and call your second and third uncles and their families over. It'll be more lively when the whole family is gathered around the stove with Ah Dong back," said Grandma Wei Shufen with a big smile on her face. The Chen family has a new member, and it's time to celebrate.

Chen Xiangui was called back from his office at the Guangdong Food Factory. During this period, the Guangdong Factory was on holiday. Although there was a militia patrol team in the factory, Chen Xiangui was still worried and wandered around the factory area every day, afraid that some ignorant thugs would climb over the wall and steal things.

Walking home, Chen Xiangui walked briskly. The villagers greeted him with smiles, "Uncle Xiangui, you're back from Zai Dong! We brought you a little grand-nephew!"

"I know," Chen Xiangui said cheerfully, his steps never faltering. When he reached the big tree, several elderly people of similar age invited him to come over for tea. Chen Xiangui waved his hand and declined, "No, thank you. My husband and I are back, and I'm in a hurry to go back and hold my grandniece. I'll drink with you another day!"

When Chen Xiangui stepped into the house, it was already bustling with activity. His sister, Chen Qiuxiu, and her family had also arrived, their voices booming, "Oh my, look at this little one! She's so adorable! Let me hold her. This girl is destined for good fortune. She smiles at everyone and isn't shy at all!"

A dozen or so women formed a circle around Xiao Huiyi, teasing the little girl with various toys. Chen Xiangui came in and tried to squeeze in but was too embarrassed. He peeked out and only saw a tiny foot before Chen Xianfu pulled him away.

"Why are you pulling me? I want to see my grandniece," Chen Xiangui glared at his second brother, while Chen Xianfu pressed him back into his seat. "Eldest brother, Lianxiang is back. Aren't you going to ask her about her?"

"What's the rush? After we finish eating, I'll have your sister-in-law ask her alone," Chen Xiangui took the cigarette Chen Dong offered, but seeing that he hadn't smoked it, he didn't either, and tucked it behind his ear. "Dongzi, did your trip back go smoothly?"

"It's all right, Uncle. We're just talking about the full moon celebration for Xiao Huiyi right now." Chen Dong pushed the banquet menu he had written to Chen Xiangui. Chen Xiangui picked it up, looked at it, and nodded. "Okay, you guys can make the decision. We'll have the third brother handle the arrangements."

Chen Zaiguang, who had been sitting silently to the side, said "okay" and continued to sit quietly. Since that incident, the second brother, Chen Zaisheng, had not spoken a single word to Chen Zaiguang. Even Chen Zaiguang's face was dark whenever he saw Lin Ruiqing.

During this period, Lin Ruiqing also restrained herself a lot. Perhaps it was because her mother-in-law Huang Lanzhi said a few words to her that Lin Ruiqing knew that her eldest brother-in-law was dissatisfied with the third branch of the family. Even her usually easy-going sister-in-law Zeng Xia sometimes looked at her with a bit of disdain.

Lin Ruiqing knew very well the status of her uncle Chen Zaiguang in the family. Her father-in-law Chen Xiangui and mother-in-law Huang Lanzhi were relatively easy to please. As for the parents, they could tolerate their son and daughter-in-law going too far for the sake of family harmony.

But Chen Zaiguang, the eldest uncle, has a very explosive temper. The fact that he didn't yell at his sister-in-law Lin Ruiqing to her face was already a great favor to the third brother, Chen Zaiguang.

If they want to continue living in this family in the future, they must maintain a good relationship with their uncle, Chen Zaiguang!
