In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

In this era, when it comes to overseas Chinese returning home, it is definitely a matter of bringing honor to the family.

People may be more curious about foreign guests, but it is different for overseas Chinese. These people will actually give benefits.

To put it bluntly, if Li Duoyu knew that he also had an overseas Chinese relative, he would definitely talk about them every other sentence.

Even if these relatives do not give them money, they will still be proud of having overseas Chinese relatives.

The grand appearance of these overseas Chinese relatives really attracted a lot of attention and gave people a very stylish feeling.

Just like the big boss in Hong Kong movies, Li Duoyu also came in a Crown, and he can also make a name for himself.

But the guesthouse is only two steps away, so there is no need to drive at all. Besides, the relatives in Rongcheng are all acquaintances and they all know each other well.

Zhao Jialu probably knew better than most of Li Duoyu's relatives how much assets he had, so there was no need for him to pretend.

A total of more than ten people got off the two cars. It seems that quite a few relatives from overseas have returned this time.

The leading old man walked in front and greeted Li Hanhai, and behind him, a middle-aged man about the same age as his father, wearing a hat, held a thick stack of red envelopes in his hand.

As soon as the red envelope was taken out, everyone gathered around and smiled brightly.

Li Duoyu could understand the mentality of these overseas Chinese. After all, he worked hard outside back then.

Isn't it just to make more money so that I can go back home and build a big house and be proud of myself?

Simply put, if you work so hard to make money outside, but don't show off after returning home, all the hard work will be in vain.

In the past, when the country was still very poor and everyone's economy was not very good, these overseas Chinese were still very diligent in returning.

Sometimes, they only come back once every few years, either to help build roads or to build ancestral temples. But what makes everyone happiest is the distribution of red envelopes.

But later, as the domestic economy picked up, not only those working outside, but even the overseas Chinese were reluctant to go back.

Because some overseas Chinese find that they are doing worse than most of their relatives in China after returning home, and people still advise them to return home to develop.

Li Duoyu understood this feeling. It was like the neighbor next door suddenly became a nouveau riche and richer than you. For a moment, you had no idea how you should treat him when getting along with him.

All I can say is that fortune changes over time, and when it comes to national prosperity, it cannot be stopped.

The people from Rongcheng should have met them before. After they went over, they just called him "Uncle".

The middle-aged man following the old man immediately took out a red envelope and handed it to them.

The red envelope is quite thick.

In this era, when overseas Chinese returned, the red envelopes they received were most likely foreign exchange coupons.

The relatives who received the red envelopes smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."

The relatives on my second uncle's side were getting increasingly impatient as they watched the number of red envelopes decrease.

A man named Li Sande, who was also Li Duoyu's cousin in terms of seniority, squeezed into the crowd, smiling and excitedly shouting, "Great uncle, hello."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the old man was stunned, and then asked Li Haohan: "Who are these guys?"

Li Hanhai smiled and said, "They are from Fourth Uncle's branch."

"Oh~~~~"

The old man thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Fourth Uncle, do we have a fourth uncle in our family? I remember that after the third uncle, there were only two aunts. Where did the fourth uncle come from?"

After hearing this, Li Hanhai smiled bitterly, feeling that today's return to his roots would not be very smooth.

Seeing that the other party didn't know him yet, Li Sande hurriedly introduced himself: "Uncle, we are also from the Li family. Our great grandfather is Li Ruixiang, and my grandfather is Li Hanlin, from the Han generation."

The old man shook his head and said, "I have never heard of him. There is no such person as Li Ruixiang in our family tree. Did you recognize the wrong ancestor?"

After hearing this, Second Uncle's grandchildren stood there in a daze. They had originally thought that they could get red envelopes by just calling him "Uncle" twice.

But they didn't expect that their efforts would be rejected without any response, and no one paid any attention to them at all.

When the old man said this, Li Hanhai signaled to the younger generations and asked them not to continue this topic.

But this man named Li Sande stared at the red envelope and said through gritted teeth: "Uncle, we came back this time just to recognize our ancestors."

The old man snorted coldly:

"Do you think that the door of our Li family is so easy to enter? You can come in and go out as you please. You must at least have a proof that you are a member of our Li family."

Seeing that the other party suddenly got angry, Li Sande and his brothers were dumbfounded. Not only did they not get the red envelope, but they also felt hot on their faces.

The second uncle, who also felt ashamed, yelled at the younger generations with a dark face, "Are you ashamed? Come back here."

Li Sande came back with a gloomy face, feeling that the other party was deliberately playing tricks on them.

Li Duoyu and his brothers were very calm. If it were in the past, they would have been 100% the same as them.

They can't wait to lick it a few times and then get two red envelopes, and finally be noticed by the big relatives and then taken to work abroad.

Li Duoyu exchanged glances with several relatives. It seemed that this time of tracing one's ancestry was not as smooth as expected.

"This is a bit threatening. What did our grandfather do in the past?" Li Yaoguo couldn't help but ask.

The uncle was also helpless: "I am not very clear about the details. I think the overseas branch knows more about what Taigong did than we do.
Duoyu, if the other party has a bad attitude or says something unpleasant, if you can tolerate it, just be patient for a while."

Li Duoyu raised his lips and said, "Of course I am already a mature adult, so I must have a method for doing things."

The uncle always felt that there was something wrong with these words. Before he could react, Li Duoyu had already taken Li Haoran upstairs.

When he saw the great uncle, he shook his hand without any hesitation and said, "Uncle, you finally returned home."

After shaking hands, he quickly said to the person behind him who was handing out red envelopes: "Uncle, there are a total of 16 of us here, just give me the red envelopes, and I will help you hand them out."

After hearing this, Li Sande, who had just been trying to please the cold butt, and everyone on the Li family's side were all speechless.

I have never seen such a shameless person. He is so rich, but he still covets other people's red envelopes.

Li Hanqing was confused when he saw such young people for the first time, and asked hurriedly: "Which group are you from?"

Li Duoyu coughed twice:
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Duoyu, and I am the 24th generation grandson of our Li family. The one next to me is Li Haoran, and he is the 25th generation."

"I didn't ask what generation you are from. What I asked is which branch you are from and who your great grandfather is."

"My great grandfather, Li Ruixiang."

After hearing this name, the old man's face darkened and he couldn't help cursing, "No wonder they are all the same."

After the old man finished cursing, he snorted, "I don't know him." Li Duoyu was shocked, "No way, you don't know him. Our grandfather is the only one in our Li family who has studied abroad. Logically, he should have the highest diploma and the most powerful. You don't know him. This is a bit..."

Li Hanhai frowned. The moment Li Duoyu stood up, he knew something bad was going to happen.

But he also didn't want to be a peacemaker. Some things were hard to say right or wrong. Now, no matter who he favored, he would offend the other party. It would be better to let them resolve the grudge between the two sides themselves.

After all, he had only heard about what happened back then from his parents and was not very clear about it.

Seeing the young man's shocked expression, the old man turned serious and said, "I've already told you that there is no such person in the family tree. Don't keep pestering me."

Li Duoyu sighed: "Is that so? It seems that there is something wrong with your family tree. We don't know where you came from.
How about this, we arrived first, so please wait here first, and come back after we have finished recognizing our ancestors. "

As soon as Li Duoyu said this, the scene fell silent and Li Hanhai's face looked quite ugly.

The eldest uncle, the third uncle, and his father looked at each other. Although they felt that what Li Duoyu said was a bit too much, they felt inexplicably very happy.

Even the relatives from my second great uncle's side looked unhappy after hearing this, and some even started whispering.

"It's over. If Li Duoyu gets angry and starts arguing with the other party, there will be no turning back."

"We still have to maintain good relations with them. When overseas Chinese from the neighboring town came back, they sent many people to work abroad."

Li Sande gritted his teeth and quickly said to Li Duoyu: "Duoyu, stop making trouble. Just be friendly. We are all relatives. Don't make things awkward."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Duoyu glanced at them and said, "Do you have the right to interrupt me when I'm talking?"

Seeing that Li Duoyu was angry, these people all lowered their heads, and even the second uncle started to curse: "You guys shut up."

Li Duoyu's words made these overseas Chinese so angry that their chests were heaving, and the leader Li Hanqing was even breathing heavily.

As overseas Chinese, they have come all the way, whether they are entering the country, the officials who receive them, or even the waiters.

They were all treated with great respect. Even their relatives in Rongcheng were very warm to them. On the day they returned, they were treated to a banquet of the highest standards in Rongcheng.

But I didn't expect to meet such a street urchin, but his words were reasonable.

Li Hanqing looked at his cousin Li Hanhai and said, "This is different from what we agreed upon."

Li Hanhai was in such a dilemma at the scene that he could only step out to act as a peacemaker and said to Li Duoyu.

"More fish, that's enough. Let's just leave it at that for now. If you have any questions, we can discuss them after the ceremony is over."

Li Duoyu raised his hand and said, "No problem. I always put the overall situation first."

Li Hanqing almost vomited blood when he heard this. It seemed as if every word of this was directed at him. In less than a few minutes, he was "taught a lesson" twice.

Uncle Li Zhengfa was very puzzled and asked, "Is Duoyu's mouth so powerful?"

Zhao Jialu, who was standing at the back, snorted: "He dares to fool even the top leaders with his mouth. He is not a coward at all."

In fact, Li Duoyu also wanted to be friendly, but he had a scale in his heart, and it didn't matter if the other party complained.

But these overseas Chinese relatives have clearly crossed the line. They are a bit too arrogant and take themselves too seriously.

Nowadays, it is indeed easy to make money abroad, but Li Duoyu is not comparable to ordinary overseas Chinese.

At his rate of development, in a few years he might be able to surpass more than 90 percent of overseas Chinese.

Li Duoyu didn't need to rely on them, nor did he plan to gain any benefits from them, so there was really no need to lick them.

To him, there is no difference between them, whether they are overseas Chinese or foreign guests.

For him, everything is based on strength. Don't expect to find any sense of superiority from him.

Li Hanqing had a gloomy face and said to the people behind him: "Let's go, let's perform the ceremony first."

But what he didn't expect was that the young man in front of him was so shameless that he continued to say to the one who took the red envelope:

"It would be a shame to divide the things in half. We brought a lot of things with us. If you want to do that, we won't share with you."

"The things I brought are worth a lot of money. One pound of shrimp costs ten dollars. I brought more than 200 pounds, 100 pairs of blue crabs, and all sorts of other things."

After hearing this, everyone present fell silent, and Zhao Jialu gave two thumbs up on the spot.

"As expected of my big brother, he is invincible. I feel like I will never be able to surpass him in this lifetime."

Zhou Xiaoying held her forehead, not knowing why her face was burning. When this man did things, it was really hard to guard against him.

Li Hanhai smiled and shook his head, not knowing what to say. Now he finally understood why Secretary Huang spoke so highly of him.

People like Li Duoyu will give anyone a headache no matter if they are in the government or business world.

Not only can he take it, but he can also let it go. He has both dignity and no dignity. He does not play by the rules at all. It is difficult for such a person to suffer a loss. On the contrary, those who have received good education always like to act pretentiously, but they are often bullied by others.

After hearing what Li Duoyu said, these overseas Chinese were quite speechless. The leader, Li Hanqing, had a dark face and said in a deep voice: "Give it to them too."

The one who distributed the red envelopes also had a very unpleasant expression on his face. He took a red envelope and slapped it heavily on Li Duoyu's hand.

"Hmph, here you go."

Li Duoyu was not angry at all, instead he smiled and said: "Thank you, uncle, I wish you good health, all the best, happiness as vast as the East Sea, and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."

Li Duoyu said a series of nice words, but they sounded quite harsh to the old man's ears.

The fat boy Li Haoran was the second one to get it, and he also said good things: "I wish my uncle good health and longevity, and may you have a happy life every year."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying had a headache. She didn't want to tell anyone that she was the one who taught the child Chinese.

Moreover, this uncle was so angry today, he probably really didn't want to see this day again.

Unexpectedly, after being pestered by Li Duoyu, these overseas Chinese relatives actually distributed all the red envelopes.

Li Sande, who was just afraid that Li Duoyu would cause trouble, now wanted to kneel down and lick Li Duoyu on the spot.

After they received the red envelope, someone secretly opened it and took a look, and found that there were twenty five-yuan notes inside, a total of one hundred yuan in foreign exchange coupons.

On the front were Huangshan Mountain and the Welcoming Pine, while on the back were words that looked very similar to pinyin, but they couldn't understand them at all.

"Duoyu is really awesome. Not only did he save face, he also forced the other party to pay."

"What do you think? If our Duoyu didn't have some skills, our island wouldn't be the richest in the town now."

"Now, it has become the richest village in the entire county." (End of this chapter)
