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

"Who else could it be!"

Upon hearing his younger brother's words, and recalling how he had secretly pulled Chen Dong aside to whisper something earlier, and then returned to pour himself a lot of alcohol, Chen Xianfu understood the meaning behind Chen Xianhai's words.

So Chen Xianfu asked, "Third brother, what do you want from Adong that he won't help you with?"

"Your niece Lianzhen is already twenty-five this year, almost an old maid. I was thinking, since Adong can help introduce Lianxiang to Qingsheng," Chen Xianhai poured himself another glass of wine, "I thought I'd ask him to help Lianzhen find someone suitable as well."

"Who knew he'd reject me outright, not even offering the most basic excuse or saying he'd try looking for it. Doesn't that show he doesn't respect me as his uncle?"

"Third brother, you must have misunderstood. According to what A-Guang said, Lianxiang met Qingsheng after she went to America herself. You suddenly asked A-Dong to introduce you. A-Dong is not a matchmaker. How could he dare to take on this task for you?" Chen Xianfu comforted his younger brother.

"Never mind, it's fine. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to. I'll let Xifeng find a matchmaker herself. She doesn't need his help." Chen Xianhai was drunk and clearly hadn't listened to Chen Xianfu's words. The implication was that he was still complaining about Chen Dong's refusal to help.

Chen Xianfu could only shake his head, pat his shoulder, and wanted to say something more, but he felt that the third brother Chen Xianhai was drunk at the moment, so it would be futile and he simply shut up.

Chen Dong, along with Chen Zaiguang, Chen Zailong, Lin Qingsheng, and others, drank quite a bit and before they knew it, the banquet was over. For the first time, Chen Dong got drunk and collapsed on the table. Chen Zaixing and Chen Zaisheng quickly helped him up and pulled him back to the small building.

Chen Lianxiang and Lin Qingsheng also went back to the small building. Zhang Yi was applying a hot towel to Chen Dong's face. Xiao Huiyi was being held by her aunt Chen Lianxiang and kept trying to climb onto her father who was lying on the bed.

After taking a shower, Ronghui, wearing a yellow cartoon character pajama, approached Chen Dong, who was sprawled out on the bed, and disgustedly covered his nose, saying, "Daddy stinks!"

"It stinks so bad!"

Little Huiyi parroted her brother, covering her nose and shouting. Chen Lianxiang was amused by the chubby girl's actions and expressions, and deliberately hugged her closer to Chen Dong. Little Huiyi then cried out "Ah ah ah!" waving her limbs and shouting, "Auntie's naughty!"

"Giggle giggle!"

"Alright, alright, everyone go out first and let Tony get some rest," Zhang Yi wiped Chen Dong's whole body with a hot towel and unbuttoned his shirt so he wouldn't have trouble breathing before letting everyone leave the room so Chen Dong could sober up.

Chen Dong was in a daze, feeling as if his body was falling rapidly. It was as if his subconscious had entered another world, surrounded by a vast expanse of white that stretched as far as the eye could see. He shouted loudly, but no one responded; only his echoes lingered around him.

"Ah Dong!"

As Chen Dong was wandering around, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. Chen Dong turned around abruptly, but found only a vast expanse of white behind him, with no one in sight. Chen Dong was puzzled. He recognized the voice as his grandfather Chen Shengyu's, so he shouted loudly in all directions, "Grandpa, is that you?"

"Ah Dong!"

Another sound came, and this time Chen Dong looked in the direction of the sound. He found that a river had suddenly appeared not far behind him. Two children, one big and one small, were fishing barefoot on the riverbank. Under the big banyan tree, an old man was sitting in a grand chair with his legs crossed, swaying back and forth as he looked at Chen Dong with a smile.

"grandfather!"

Chen Dong recognized his deceased grandfather at a glance. He tried to run over quickly, but the moment his foot touched the river, what he thought would be a simple wading through was like clipping through a game screen. Chen Dong immediately stopped and looked at his grandfather, asking, "Grandpa, what happened?"

"Adong, you brought Grandpa back to Lianzhai, and Grandpa is very happy," Chen Shengyu continued, rocking back and forth in his armchair. "Grandpa has already met your great-uncle, and his wish has been fulfilled."

"Grandpa, I miss you so much," Chen Dong hurried forward, wanting to touch Chen Shengyu in front of him, but it was like trying to catch the moon in the sea.

Chen Shengyu ignored Chen Dong's actions and asked him with a smile, "Dong, have you done what Grandpa asked you to do?"

"Yes, Grandpa, I returned to Lianzhai and listened to your advice. I didn't blindly give money to the descendants of my eldest uncle. As long as they have the ability and want to do business or anything else within my power, I will help them," Chen Dong replied.

"Yes, very good, Dong, you did a great job. Now Grandpa can rest assured," Chen Shengyu said, standing up. Chen Dong immediately asked, "Grandpa, did I return to the 1980s from 20 years ago because of you?"

Chen Shengyu did not answer, but turned around and walked slowly forward. As he walked step by step, the scenery around Chen Dong, such as the river, slowly began to fade and disappear. Chen Dong hurriedly stepped forward to catch up, but no matter how hard he ran, he could never catch up with his grandfather's pace.

"grandfather!"

"Grandpa, wait for me!"

"grandfather!"

In the room, Chen Dong suddenly sat up. He was covered in sweat and panting. He looked around and found himself in the master bedroom of the small building next to the old house in Lianzhai. He relaxed his guard, sighed dejectedly, and fell back onto the bed.

Is this a dream?

Chen Dong wasn't sure. Although he couldn't touch his grandfather's body, he could clearly see the genuine smile on his grandfather's face. At the same time, his grandfather's voice and tone were exactly the same as when his grandfather was alive.

The door to the room was pushed open, and Zhang Yi walked in. Seeing that Chen Dong was already awake, she said, "Donnie, why are you sweating so much?"

"It's probably too hot," Chen Dong wiped his forehead, his hand covered in sweat. He sat up, pulled Zhang Yi over to sit beside him, and whispered, "I just dreamt about Grandpa!"

Zhang Yi covered her mouth in surprise and asked softly, "Really?"

"Yes, Grandpa asked me if I had finished what he asked me to do," Chen Dong said in a low voice. "I answered that I had, and then Grandpa got up and left. No matter how I chased or ran, I couldn't catch up with him."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi looked at her husband with a pang of heartache. Ignoring the fact that he was covered in sweat, she hugged him and gently patted his back, comforting him, "Tony, you've done everything you could. You have a clear conscience, you know?"

"Yeah, honey, I just miss Grandpa a little. I wonder how he's doing down there," Chen Dong said softly as he hugged his wife Zhang Yi tightly.

"He's a very cheerful person, he can chat with people anywhere, he'll never be lonely," Zhang Yi said, holding Chen Dong's head. "You don't need to worry about him, he's probably downstairs right now bragging to someone about his grandson Chen Zaidong."

"Hehehe!" Chen Dong was amused by Zhang Yi's words. Based on his understanding of his grandfather, it was indeed true. Chen Dong was indeed the pride of Chen Shengyu's entire life.

He graduated from a prestigious university, fell in love with his childhood sweetheart, and got married. After marriage, they had a lovely great-grandson named Jimmy, allowing him to enjoy the company of his grandchild even at nearly 100 years old.

Chen Dong also took over his own business steadily and got along well with the older and younger members of the business. Everyone praised Chen Dong for not only being good at his job but also at being a good person.

With such a grandson, what more could a man ask for!

"Wow! Daddy and Mommy are so shy!" Ronghui's voice rang out from the doorway. Chen Dong and Zhang Yi looked over and saw Ronghui covering his eyes and running out, shouting as he ran, "You didn't even close the door when you were kissing! So embarrassing!"

Chen Lianxiang, who was holding Xiao Huiyi outside, walked over with a giggle and was about to close the door. She thought that Chen Dong and Zhang Yi were doing something and Rong Hui had caught them.

Zhang Yi came out and put on a fierce expression towards Ronghui, who had already run onto the sofa. "Chen Ronghui, did Mommy ever teach you that you must knock before entering someone else's room?"

"But you didn't close the door, so it doesn't matter whether I knock or not," Ronghui said with a smile, holding the TV remote.

"Remember to knock first next time!"

"Okay, okay!"
