rebirth from small pockets

Chengdu in 2000 can be described as a large construction site.

Regardless of the Ximen South Gate, whether in the city or in the suburbs, it seems that construction is going on everywhere.

Road construction, house construction and even old city renovation, so Chengdu seems to be a bit gray these days.

However, Chen Li is no stranger to this!

In his previous life, he went out to work every year, and from time to time would choose to set off from Chengdu. In addition, there were many of his classmates and old friends here, so Chen Li still had some impressions of Chengdu during this time.

However, although Chen Li had some impressions, they were not many. What he was more familiar with was the beautiful Chengdu more than ten years later.

But to be honest~ Compared with the beautiful Chengdu in 2000, it was not even a little bit worse.

Therefore, at this moment, Chen Li is not even as familiar with this Chengdu, where he has stayed for almost ten years, as the old man is.

After all, Chen Guofu had worked in Chengdu for nearly a year before, and Chen Li was just familiar with the current landmark buildings in Chengdu.

After all, those landmark buildings have not moved anywhere even twenty years later.

Of course, the ones I’m most familiar with at this stage are actually Chen Li’s brother-in-law and aunt.

Chen Li previously invested in building a large-scale breeding farm on the outskirts of Rongcheng City. Chen Li's brother-in-law and aunt have been busy here in the past few months.

And unlike when the two of them first arrived in Yanjing, the breeding farm here in Rongcheng had just been established and was receiving some orders one after another.

Some of these orders came from introductions from local government departments, but many more were actually the matchmaking bridge provided by Li Yuan's father, Li Dazhi.

As a contractor these days, Li Dazhi doesn't dare to say how much money he has in his pocket, but he still has some respect in the industry.

As for the construction industry, as the hottest industry these days, the consumption level of employees in the industry is far higher than that of ordinary people.

As far as Ideal Chicken is concerned, even some bosses actually think that the Ideal Chicken is a bit expensive.

On the contrary, those contractors don't feel this way at all. Not to mention that the current price of ideal chicken is not outrageous at all, they can afford even the outrageous price.

For these people, good food and good appearance are the most important thing. As long as they can satisfy the people they invite to eat, as for the price, it has never been an issue.

So~ after the first batch of ideal chickens from the chicken farm in Chengdu were released, the business of the farmhouse in Chengdu was booming.

This is Sichuan Province after all~! The genes of Sichuan people who love delicious food are definitely engraved in their bones.

Moreover, the farmhouses in Chengdu have another feature, that is, the white-feathered chickens sell better than the yellow-feathered chickens.

This is not to say that the sales of yellow-feathered chickens are not good, but that the sales of white-feathered chickens are much better than those at the farmhouses in Yanjing.

Although people in Sichuan Province also like to drink local chicken soup, customers here in Rongcheng seem to prefer the farmhouse's wood-fired white feather chicken to the stewed local chicken soup.

This can only be a matter of one party and one custom. Different places naturally have different eating habits!

Of course, this is just big data, and it does not mean that yellow-feathered chickens are not popular in Chengdu.

It's just that people in Chengdu seem to be more willing to buy yellow-feathered chicken and cook it themselves.

Chen Li did not expect this, but Chen Li soon realized that this was actually caused by different eating habits.

Although the local chicken soup in Yanjing has a very rustic name, the local chicken soup was actually improved by Chef Gong.

There are a lot of medicinal materials added to that local chicken soup, so despite the name, it is called local chicken soup, but in fact, it is a great tonic.

Such a local chicken soup is very popular in Yanjing, but the same local chicken soup is not so popular here in Rongcheng.

Therefore, Chen Li's aunt is currently in contact with a well-known master chef in Sichuan Province, and is planning to ask this master chef to help develop several dishes more suitable for Sichuan people using ideal yellow-feather chicken and white-feather chicken as ingredients.

That's right~ The person who came forward this time was Chen Li's aunt, not Chen Li's uncle.

Even the person who reported to Chen Li the development of the Rongcheng breeding farm was Chen Li's aunt.

I have to say that society is indeed the best place to train people.

In the past, Chen Li's aunt had almost no presence in the family, but now this aunt seems to be developing into a strong woman.

To be honest~ Chen Li was even a little worried. If this little aunt really became a strong woman in the future, would it affect her relationship with her brother-in-law?

But there is nothing Chen Li can do about this kind of thing. After all, the current changes are definitely a good thing for the little aunt.

"Little aunt, your idea is very good."

"We really have to take into account the current situation of the local market and make corresponding changes in a timely manner."

Let me tell you something~ Chen Li’s aunt is doing really well at work now.

For this reason, after listening to his aunt's development report, Chen Li took out two red envelopes from his briefcase.

Calling them red envelopes is actually a bit of a stretch, because these two so-called red envelopes are actually two brown paper bags.

There were two paper bags, one big and one small. Chen Li handed the smaller one to his uncle.

"Brother-in-law~This is your bonus this year."

Chen Li's bonus to his family was 50,000 yuan, which was definitely a huge amount these days.

Wang Jianjun took the paper bag, opened it and instantly burst into laughter.

"Hehe~ You kid, I'm so interested in your brother-in-law."

After finishing speaking, Wang Jianjun handed the brown paper bag in his hand to his wife with such skill that Chen Li was speechless.

Okay~ Chen Li admits that his previous worries may be somewhat unnecessary. After all, his brother-in-law may be somewhat lacking in ability, but when it comes to treating his wife, he is actually very good.

Although the two of them did not live a happy life in their previous life, that was actually because of poverty. Now that the problem of poverty has been solved, there is currently no problem in the relationship between the two.

"Little aunt~This is yours."

"Thanks to you and my uncle for your hard work this year."

Chen Li then handed the bullier brown paper bag to his aunt, which contained 80,000 yuan.

"Brother-in-law~ The bonus I gave to my aunt is more than what I gave to you. You won't be angry, right?"

Although some words may not sound so nice, saying them is definitely better than not saying them at all.

It's like when something is made clear, the effect is better than letting people guess on their own.

"I'm so angry~ That's your little aunt!"

"And I am not as good as your little aunt in managing the breeding farm."

"Don't worry~ Your uncle, I can still understand this."

Wang Jianjun rolled his eyes at his nephew. He felt that his nephew was thinking too much.

It doesn't make any difference whether he or his wife gets more bonuses, right?

After all, they are all members of the same family, and whoever has more and who has less will end up in the same bag.

"Uh okay!"

Chen Li was a little helpless. He actually knew his brother-in-law's character, but there had been too many changes around him in the past year.

Outsiders such as Ma Xiaoyun and Ma Xiaoteng have been affected by him, so it seems normal for his own family members to be affected.

For example, this little aunt~wasn’t it because of his influence that she changed from the housewife in the past to the person in charge of the breeding farm today?

"Xiao Li, we are all family members."

"This bonus, did you give it too much?"

"Auntie knows that you did very well last year and you should have made a lot of money, but how about we just take a share of this money."

Chen Li's aunt here had already opened the brown paper bag and saw the eight stacks of hundred-yuan bills inside. But then she frowned and pushed the big brown paper bag in Chen Li's direction.

.

"Uh~!"

How should I put it? In fact, what Chen Li’s aunt said probably sounded half-truth and half-false to Chen Li!

Maybe this aunt does have some thoughts about Chen Li, her nephew, but it would be somewhat false to say that she doesn't want the money.

There is no way~ Although this little aunt has grown a lot in more than a year, there is a limit to her growth rate no matter how fast she grows.

My aunt is now considered a veteran when it comes to managing a breeding farm, but she still has to learn how to communicate with people.

"Little aunt~just take it!"

"I'm not the kind of person who talks big."

"But one thing I can guarantee is that when I deal with this person, I will never treat my family badly."

"So you can accept this money with peace of mind!"

"The market here in Chengdu next year will have to be managed by you, my aunt."

Chen Li smiled and pushed the brown paper bag back, but this time, Chen Li's aunt did not shirk it, but happily accepted the two bags of bonuses.

"By the way~ It's not a problem to keep so much money. Uncle, please drive my aunt to the bank and deposit the money before you get off work."

"Yes~ It's time to save up and build an army."

"Okay~ let's go, then I'll take you to the bank first."

As soon as Chen Li's uncle and aunt left, Chen Li's mother Wang Dongmei entered the office.

"Are you done talking about the business?"

"How much did they pay your brother-in-law?"

When Ms. Wang faces her son, she naturally speaks more directly.

After all, no matter how big a boss Chen Li is, it is still her flesh and blood.

"Oh~ I gave 50,000 yuan to my uncle and 80,000 yuan to my aunt."

"Mom~little aunt has been here for more than a year"

Chen Li didn't hide anything in this regard, but he was a little worried that his mother might be dissatisfied with the way he distributed bonuses, so he planned to explain it after he finished speaking.

"Well~ you did the right thing!"

While Chen Li was still thinking about how to explain, Ms. Wang over there had already begun to nod.

"Eh?"

"Mom~ I gave a larger bonus to my aunt than to my uncle. Aren't you angry?"

Chen Li looked at his mother in surprise~ He knew very well what his mother's generation thought.

In the eyes of others, Chen Li's aunt does more things, so she should naturally get more bonuses.

But people~ there must be someone close and distant. Compared with her aunt, Ms. Wang must value her younger brother Wang Jianjun and Wang Xiaobao more.

This may seem a bit unreasonable~ But what reason does Ms. Wang need to talk to her son?

If a mother has to reason with her son when communicating with her son, then that would actually be a bit strange, right?

Moreover, Chen Li knew that although her mother scolded her brother-in-law the most on weekdays, in fact, Ms. Wang's most valued brother was also her unsatisfactory brother.

Chen Li's uncle in his previous life didn't have much ability, and he often even had to be helped by Chen Li's family.

Every time, Ms. Wang would curse and scold Wang Jianjun for not living up to expectations, but in the end, those who should help would still help.

So this time, his mother suddenly became reasonable, and Chen Li was a little surprised.

"I'm angry?"

"What am I angry about?"

"It's not like you don't know about your brother-in-law. He's pretty capable."

"When you asked him to help you before, I was actually a little worried, worried that he would mess things up for you."

"But he is your brother-in-law after all. Now that you are capable, you should take care of him."

"On the other hand, I didn't expect your little aunt to be so capable."

"You don't know, when we came here before, I was really surprised to see how well your little aunt managed this place."

"But no matter what, we are a family. Since your little aunt can help you, that would be great."

"You old man and I don't understand what you are doing now."

"I used to see chickens here being raised like that. What, uh~ yes, automation."

"Before, I thought raising chickens here was similar to the ones in our hometown. I'm thinking that when Xiaoxue graduates next year, you and I will come to help too!"

"Fortunately, your aunt can help you. She does more and deserves more money."

Chen Li listened to his mother's "explanation", but felt a little warm in his heart.

He knew that it wasn't actually his mother's recognition of the younger aunt's abilities. She just couldn't help her son Chen Li, so she recognized her younger sibling who could help Chen Li very much!

There is a premise for this~that is, Chen Li's little aunt is helping Chen Li do things.

If this little aunt went out to work on her own and became a strong woman, then Chen Li was sure that his mother would definitely side with Wang Jianjun.

This has nothing to do with reason, it's just because family ties come first.

From Ms. Wang's perspective, Chen Li's aunt is definitely not as important as Wang Jianjun.

But by the same token, Chen Li's brother-in-law Wang Jianjun is definitely not as important as Chen Li's biological son.

Therefore, the aunt who was able to help Chen Li, her biological son, naturally gained Ms. Wang's approval.

"Hey~Thank you mom for understanding!"

"By the way~ Mom, I have prepared a big red envelope for you and dad this year!"

"My son has made some money this year, this year."

"Let's have a good time!"

When the atmosphere reached this point, Chen Li took out the big red envelope from his briefcase that he originally planned to give to his parents during the Chinese New Year.

As a result, as soon as the red envelope was taken out, it was taken away by Ms. Wang.

"Oh~ there's quite a lot!"

Ms. Wang opened it, looked at it, and then took away the portion that Chen Li had prepared for her father.

"You kid, why do you carry so much cash with you? It's not safe!"

"Then what, call your uncle and ask him to come back and pick me up."

"I have to go save this money."
