The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

The car drove for about four or five minutes and slowly stopped at the door of Chen Anhai's house.

Chen Anhai's house is a bit special, with the gate facing west, right next to the street.

Since Lin Ming unified the seafood business in Tianling Town and leased the land here, this originally ordinary street has become the central street of Yushan Village.

Thanks to the development and construction of Xingchen Shipyard here, many foreign workers came to Yushan Village to rent houses and live, so that the economy of the entire Yushan Village was driven.

Especially this central street, it can be said to be a small market.

Vegetable sellers, meat sellers, fruit sellers, seafood sellers...

Every household does not need to go to the town specifically. If there are guests coming, they only need to walk around the central street to get all the dishes.

And because of the existence of these small vendors, many bungalows on the central street have become storefronts, with annual rents as high as 20,000 to 30,000, and they can earn the salary of an ordinary worker without lying down.

"I haven't been here for a long time. It's quite prosperous here!"

Lin Ming looked at his watch and praised: "It's not even 10 o'clock yet. I thought it was almost time for lunch."

"My dad told me that because many workers in the shipyard work in three shifts, the lunch time is not so timely, so from 9 o'clock in the morning until about 10 o'clock in the evening, the central street is very lively." Chen Jia said as he got off the car.

"Hey, Jiajia is back?"

"I was wondering where this beautiful lady came from, and it turns out that our Jiajia is the most stylish!"

"Look at this car and I know that Jiajia and her son-in-law must be back. There is no such a good car in our entire Yushan Village!"

"What is this called? Levin... Levin..."

"Rolls-Royce!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Rolls-Royce! I heard from my daughter that this car is worth several million, isn't it, Jiajia?"

"Other people's cars start at several million, and Jiajia's car is probably worth more than 10 million!"

"They are really rich. The old couple An Ying gave birth to a good daughter. They are blessed for the rest of their lives!"

"..."

Many people on the street smiled and greeted each other, basically some middle-aged people from the same village.

"Fourth uncle."

"Grandpa."

"Second uncle."

Chen Jia naturally didn't act so arrogant. She still greeted the villagers politely as usual.

On the contrary, Lin Ming, as Chen Jia's son-in-law, has not come to Yushan Village many times. He can only follow Chen Jia and nod and smile to everyone.

"Oh, you're back?"

Gong Li's surprised voice suddenly came from the yard.

"Anhai! Chen Anhai! Come on, Jia Jia and Lin Ming are back!"

After a while, Chen Anhai ran out of the inner room while putting on his coat.

"I told you to call in advance, and your second aunt and I will pick you up at the entrance of the village. Why didn't you say anything when you arrived at the door?" Chen Anhai pretended to blame.

"Second uncle, our street is so spacious, and the car can be parked at the door of our house. What are you going to pick up?" Chen Jia smiled.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lin Ming also smiled and said: "Second uncle, second aunt, we are not unfamiliar with the road. If I really ask you to go to the village entrance to pick us up, my father-in-law will probably scold me to death!"

"Look at what you said..."

Chen Anhai walked over with a smile: "You said you two would come back, why bring so many things? Don't take them down yet, leave some for your parents."

"Second uncle, we have prepared it for my parents, this is to honor you and third uncle."

Lin Ming smiled and took down all the things. Chen Anhai and Gong Li took four or five trips home to take them.

"All of them are good cigarettes and good wines. Rich people are willing to spend money!"

"Did you see that Yellow Crane Tower 1916? There must be at least 20 or 30 cartons of this cigarette alone?"

"There is also a big pack of soft cigarettes, all in cartons!"

"Cigarettes are not valuable. Didn't you see the wines Jia Jia and her son-in-law took?"

"I don't know the others. Anyway, I saw several boxes of Feitian Moutai. That thing costs two or three thousand a bottle. I guess the other wines must be no worse!"

"Tsk tsk, An Ying and Yun Fang raised a good daughter, and their whole family has become prosperous."

"..."

On the street, there was a chorus of discussions.

And at this moment, Chen Anhai's home.

Looking at the things that occupied most of the yard, Chen Anhai and Gong Li were polite on the surface, but their mouths had already been grinning to their ears.

"Second uncle, third uncle and third aunt will come over later. We won't go to third uncle's house. You can divide these things up then." Chen Jia said.

"No..."

Chen Anhai said embarrassedly: "Do we really have to keep all of this?""Oh, we are all family, don't say these polite words."

Chen Jia waved her hand and said: "I originally brought it for you. Lin Ming even complained that he took too little, but there is no way. The trunk is so big. We will bring some more back during the Chinese New Year."

"Enough, enough, we have enjoyed a lot of happiness with you. You can come back to see us during the Chinese New Year. Don't take the things." Gong Li declined.

She is not interested in tobacco and alcohol, but the things that Lin Ming and Chen Jia brought back, in addition to tobacco and alcohol, also include top-quality ingredients such as bird's nest and shark fin.

Even if she can't tell the real from the fake, she knows that with the status of Lin Ming and Chen Jia, it is impossible to fool them with fake or cheap things.

"Hurry up, come in and sit down."

Gong Li said as she walked: "This weather is really, it gets colder as soon as it is said. Yesterday, your second uncle and I were wearing long-sleeved shirts, but today it feels like wearing woolen pants."

"How are you doing recently? Are you and your second uncle in good health?" Chen Jia asked with a smile.

"I'm old now, and I can't compare to you young people. But if I live another ten or twenty years, there will be no problem, haha!" Gong Li joked.

"You guys should take good care of your body now. You have used up all your energy in the first half of your life. Now you should enjoy yourself, right?" Chen Jia said.

"This is also thanks to you and Lin Ming. Otherwise, your second uncle and I would have to find a place to work and earn money." Gong Li said.

Lin Ming shook his head and smiled: "Second aunt, please don't say that. It is because of your help that I can completely put my mind at ease. I have to pay everyone I find. It's safer with you around, right?"

"You probably can't take care of the business in Tianling Town now, right?"

Chen Anhai made tea: "Your aunt and I often see you and Jiajia on Douyin. You are such a big group, doing real estate and cultivating celebrities. Tianling Town's seafood business can't compare at all!"

"Second uncle, this is wrong!"

Chen Jia blinked: "No matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is still meat. Even if the seafood business doesn't make much money, it can at least support our Chen family, right?"

"You girl..." Chen Anhai shook his head and smiled bitterly.
