In this era, when it comes to overseas Chinese returning home, it must be a matter of honoring their ancestors.
Everyone may be more curious about foreign guests, but it is different with overseas Chinese. These people will actually benefit.
To put it bluntly, if Li Duoyu knew that he also had an overseas Chinese relative, he would never leave them alone.
Even if these relatives don't give them money, they will still feel proud to have overseas Chinese relatives.
The gorgeous appearance of these overseas Chinese relatives really attracted enough attention and gave people a very grand feeling.
Just like the big shot in a Hong Kong movie, Li Duoyu also came here in a Crown, and he could also make a show of it.
But the guest house is only two steps away, so there is no need to drive. In addition, the relatives in Rongcheng are all acquaintances and they all know everything about it.
Zhao Jialu probably knows how much assets Li Duoyu has than most of his relatives, so there is no need to pretend.
A total of more than ten people got out of the two cars. It seemed that there were a lot of relatives coming back from overseas this time.
The leader, the old man, walked in front and greeted Li Hanhai. Behind him, a middle-aged man about the same age as his father, wearing a hat, held a stack of thick red envelopes in his hand.
As soon as the red envelope was taken out, everyone gathered around and smiled brightly.
The mentality of these overseas Chinese is understandable to Li Duoyu. After all, he worked hard outside back then.
It's not just to make more money so that I can build a big house back home and feel proud.
To put it simply, if you work so hard to make money outside, if you don't show it 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 still returned home very diligently.
Sometimes, we come back every few years, either to help build roads or to build ancestral temples. What makes everyone happiest is this part of distributing red envelopes.
But later, as the domestic economy improved, not only those working outside, but also the overseas Chinese were less willing to go back.
Because after some overseas Chinese returned home, they found that they were worse off than most of their relatives in China, and they even advised you to go home and develop your career.
Li Duoyu understands this feeling. It's like your neighbor next door suddenly becomes a nouveau riche and is richer than you. For a while, you don't know how to get along with him at all.
All we can say is that the tides are turning, and when the destiny of the country comes, you can't stop it even if you want.
People from Rongcheng's lineage should have met them before. After they passed by, they just called "uncle".
The middle-aged man following the old man immediately took out a red envelope and handed it to them.
The red envelope is pretty thick.
In this era, when overseas Chinese come back, nine out of ten red envelopes contain foreign exchange coupons.
The relatives who received the red envelopes all smiled and replied: "Thank you, uncle."
The relatives on the second uncle's side were impatient as they watched the number of red envelopes dwindle one by one.
A man named Li Sande, who was also Li Duoyu's cousin according to his generation, squeezed into the crowd, smiled and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, okay."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then asked Li Haohan: "Who are these young men?"
Li Hanhai smiled and said, "They are from Fourth Uncle's team."
"Oh~~~~"
The old man thought for a while, but then frowned and said: "Fourth uncle, is there a fourth uncle in our family? I remember that after the third uncle, there were only two aunts. The fourth uncle appeared out of nowhere."
After hearing this, Li Hanhai smiled bitterly. He always felt that recognizing his ancestor and returning to his clan today would not go smoothly.
Seeing that the other party didn't know him yet, Li Sande quickly introduced him: "Uncle, we are also from the Li family. Our great-grandfather is called Li Ruixiang, and my grandpa is called Li Hanlin. He is from the Han generation."
The old man shook his head and said, "I've never heard of him. There is no Li Ruixiang in our family tree. Have you mistakenly identified your ancestor?"
After hearing this, the second uncle's grandchildren froze on the spot. They originally thought that they could receive red envelopes by calling uncle twice.
Unexpectedly, they are just hot-faced and cold-backed, and others don't care about them at all.
When the old man finished speaking, Li Hanhai motioned to the juniors not to continue this topic.
But this one, Li Sande, stared at the red envelope and gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, the reason we came back this time is to recognize our ancestors."
The old man snorted coldly:
"You think our Li family's door is so easy to get in. You can come in when you want and leave when you want. You must at least have proof that you are from our Li family."
Seeing that the other party was suddenly angry, Li Sande and his brothers were stunned on the spot. They didn't get the red envelope, but they felt their faces were burning.
The second uncle, who also felt that his face was dull, scolded several juniors with a dark face: "Are you embarrassed? Come back here."
Li Sande came back with a gloomy face, feeling like the other party was deliberately playing tricks on them.
Li Duoyu and his brothers were very calm. In the past, they would have been 100% the same as them.
I can't wait to go up and lick it twice, and then receive two red envelopes. Finally, my relatives and elders will take a fancy to them, and then take them to work abroad.
Li Duoyu looked at each other a few times with several relatives. It seemed that the recognition of his ancestors and return to the clan this time was not as smooth as expected.
"This is a bit menacing. What did our grandfather do before?" Li Yaoguo couldn't help but ask.
The uncle was also very helpless: "I don't know the specifics. I guess the overseas community knows better than us what my grandfather did back then.
If the other party has a bad attitude and speaks unpleasantly, if you can bear it, just bear with it a little bit. "
Li Duoyu raised his lips and said, "That's for sure. I am already a mature adult and I must do things in a systematic way."
The uncle always felt that there was something wrong with what he said. Before he could react, Li Duoyu had already taken Li Haoran up.
After seeing that uncle, I held his hand without any courtesy and said, "Uncle, you have finally returned to China."
After shaking hands, he hurriedly said to the person behind him who was handing out red envelopes: "Uncle, there are sixteen of us here. Just give me the red envelope and I will hand it out for you."
After hearing this, Li Sande, who had just warmed up his face and felt cold buttocks, all the people in the Li family were speechless.
I have never seen such a shameless person, who is already so rich, but still eyeing other people's red envelopes.
It was the first time Li Hanqing saw such a young man, and he was confused. He quickly asked: "Which branch 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 person next to me is called Li Haoran, and he is the 25th generation."
"I didn't ask which generation you are from. What I asked was which branch you are from and who your great-grandfather is."
"My great-grandfather, Li Ruixiang."
After hearing this name, the old man turned dark on the spot and couldn't help cursing: "No wonder they all have the same virtue."
After the old man finished scolding, he hummed: "I don't know you." Li Duoyu looked shocked: "No, you don't know me. Our grandpa is the only one in our Li family who has studied abroad. Logically speaking, he should have the highest diploma." He is also the most powerful, and you don't even know him, which is a bit strange.”
Li Hanhai frowned. The moment Li Duoyu stepped forward, he knew he was going to do something bad.
But he doesn't want to be a peacemaker. Some things are hard to say right or wrong. Now, no matter who he favors, he will offend the other party. He might as well leave the grievances between the two sides to be resolved by themselves.
After all, he only heard what happened back then from his parents and was not very clear about it.
Seeing the shocked expression of the young man, the old man became serious: "I told you, if there is no such person in the family tree, you should stop stalking him."
Li Duoyu sighed: "Well, it seems there is something wrong with your family tree. We don't know where you came from.
Well, we arrived first, so please wait here for now. You can come back after we have finished recognizing our ancestors and returning to our clan. "
As soon as Li Duoyu said these words, the scene became silent, and Li Hanhai's face was also quite ugly.
The uncle, third uncle, and his father looked at each other in confusion. Although they thought Li Duoyu's words were a bit excessive, they felt inexplicably very happy.
The relatives on my second uncle's side all looked ugly after hearing this, and some even started whispering.
"It's over. If Li Duoyu gets angry and quarrels with the other party, there will be no room for turning around."
"We still need to have a good relationship with them. When the overseas Chinese from the next town came back, many people went abroad to work."
Li Sande gritted his teeth and hurriedly said to Li Duoyu, "Duoyu, please stop making trouble. Just be nice. We are all relatives. Don't make things awkward."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Duoyu glanced at the group of them on the spot: "I'm talking, do you have the right to interrupt?"
Seeing that Li Duoyu was angry on the spot, these people all lowered their heads, and even their second uncle also cursed: "Shut up, you guys."
Li Duoyu's words made these overseas Chinese so angry that their chests were heaving, and the leader, Li Hanqing, was breathing heavily.
As overseas Chinese, they have been here all the way, whether they are the people entering the country, the officials who receive them, or even the waiters.
They all respect them very much. Even the relatives of the family here in Rongcheng are very enthusiastic towards them. On the day they came back, they were treated to the highest standard banquet in Rongcheng.
I didn't expect that I would meet such a street kid, but he happened to be rough and unreasonable.
Li Hanqing looked at his cousin Li Hanhai and said, "This is different from what we agreed at the beginning."
Li Hanhai was in a dilemma at the scene, so he could only jump out and act as a peacemaker and said to Li Duoyu.
"Plenty of fish, that's almost it. Let's get over this matter for now. If there are any questions, we'll talk about it after the ceremony is over."
Li Duoyu raised his hand on the spot and said: "No problem, I always put the overall situation first."
Li Hanqing almost vomited blood when he heard this. It seemed as if the words were all about him. In just a few minutes, he was "taught" twice.
Third uncle Li Zhengfa was very puzzled and couldn't help asking: "Is Duoyu's mouth so powerful?"
Zhao Jialu, who was standing behind, snorted: "His mouth is so open that he dares to fool even the big leaders. He is not cowardly at all."
In fact, Li Duoyu also wanted to be nice and gentle, but he knew that if the other party complained, it wouldn't matter.
But these overseas Chinese relatives have obviously crossed the line, being a little too arrogant and taking 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% of overseas Chinese.
Li Duoyu didn't need to rely on them, and he didn't plan to get any benefits from them, so there was really no need to lick them.
To him, whether they are overseas Chinese or foreign guests, there is no difference between them.
With him, everything depends on strength. Don't expect to find any sense of superiority with 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 actually continued to say to the man who received the red envelope:
"Dividing the things in half will make people feel disgusted. We also brought a lot of things. If you want to do this, we won't give it to you."
"Those things I brought are worth a lot of money. A pound of shrimp costs ten yuan. I brought more than two hundred pounds, a hundred pairs of blue crabs, and a lot of other things."
After hearing this, everyone present fell silent, and Zhao Jialu gave two thumbs up on the spot.
"As expected of my eldest brother, he is invincible. I feel like I will never be able to surpass him in this life."
Zhou Xiaoying held her forehead, her face was burning for some reason. The way this person did things was really unprepared.
Li Hanhai smiled and shook his head, not knowing what to say. Now he finally understood why Secretary Huang rated him so highly.
Anyone who encounters people like Li Duoyu, whether in the officialdom or the business world, will have a headache.
Not only can you afford it, but you can also put it down. It is both shameless and shameless. This does not follow the rules at all. It is difficult for such people to suffer. It is those who have studied and always like to hold it, but they are often beaten by others. Wear small shoes.
When Li Duoyu said this, these overseas Chinese were quite speechless. The leader Li Hanqing's face turned dark and he said in a deep voice: "Give it to them too."
The person who distributed the red envelope also had a very ugly face. He took a red envelope and slapped it **** Li Duoyu's hand.
"Humph, get it."
Li Duoyu was not angry at all, but smiled and said: "Thank you, uncle. I wish you good health, all the best, blessings like the East China Sea, and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."
Li Duoyu said a series of nice words, but they were quite harsh in the old man's ears.
Little chubby Li Haoran was the second one to get it, and he also said good things: "I wish my uncle a long and healthy life, and he will have this day every year, and he will have this day every year."
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying had a headache. He didn't want to tell anyone that she taught this child Chinese.
And this uncle, who was so angry today, probably really didn't want to see this day in the future.
Unexpectedly, after being so harassed by Li Duoyu, these overseas Chinese relatives actually handed out red envelopes.
Li Sande, who was afraid of Li Duoyu causing trouble just now, now wanted to kneel down and lick Li Duoyu on the spot.
After they got the red envelope, someone secretly opened it and took a look and found that there were twenty five-yuan foreign exchange coupons inside, which was a full one hundred yuan.
On the front were Mount Huangshan and the Welcoming Pine, and on the back were words that looked very similar to Pinyin, but they couldn't understand them at all.
"Duoyu is still awesome. Not only did he regain his face, he also forced the other party to pay."
"What do you think? If our Duoyu didn't have any skills, our island wouldn't be the richest in the town now."
"Now, it is the richest village in the entire county." (End of Chapter)
