rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 250 Recognition

In 1999, a household worth ten thousand yuan was basically nothing unusual.

In the first-generation factories along the coast, the monthly salary of many ordinary workers reaches around six hundred, seven hundred or even one thousand.

Calculated this way, the annual income of many people can exceed 10,000 yuan.

The person who replaced the status of the title Ten Thousand Yuan Household is probably a millionaire!

In a few years, the status of this title will be replaced by billionaires.

But in fact, such a status is basically not for ordinary people.

Whether it is a million-dollar household in the past, a millionaire now or even a billionaire in the future, it is indeed too far away for ordinary people.

In 1999, earning one thousand yuan a month was basically considered a high salary.

If you don’t eat, drink or spend money, you will only get 12,000 yuan a year.

It takes more than 83 years to reach the level of a millionaire!

But in practice, this algorithm makes no sense.

First of all, it is impossible for people not to spend money, and many people cannot even save money, so this calculation method is completely meaningless.

After all, when people make money, their ultimate goal is to spend it. Only excess money will be saved.

But for most people, the income they earn is only a little more than their expenses, so in fact, ordinary people definitely cannot save much money.

Therefore, no matter whether you were a millionaire in the past or a millionaire now, only a very small number of people can actually achieve it.

And these people are what ordinary people call geniuses, smart people, the pride of heaven, the dragon among men, etc.!

There are people like this almost everywhere, just like Li Yuan's father, who is always praised as a smart man.

Because of his courage and sharp vision, he found business opportunities from the increasingly prosperous real estate market in the country, so the Li family is now considered rich.

Although he is not a millionaire, he can earn hundreds of thousands a year. This income is unmatched by anyone in Erlong Town today.

It can be said that Li Dazhi is now the richest man in Erlong Town! Although the wealth of this richest man is very small.

And if nothing else happens, Li Dazhi will be the richest man until this year.

Once the new year turns, it is estimated that Li Dazhi's position as the richest man will be surpassed by Chen Li.

If people almost always describe Li Dazhi as a smart person, then the group of relatives of Liu Qingqing at this moment basically use whatever adjectives are good to describe Chen Li. Just use whatever adjectives you use!

What kind of genius, great intelligence, proud son of heaven, dragon among men, pillar of talent, etc.!

Anyway, good words don't cost money, and Chen Li is Liu Qingqing's boyfriend, so there's no harm in saying good things.

And the most important thing is that Chen Li is really good enough.

In 1999, a person could earn tens of thousands a month. This was actually a great thing.

Most adults can't do such a thing, let alone Chen Li is only a college student.

So during this meal, Chen Li was almost accompanied by compliments.

The entire two tables, except for Liu Jianjun who was still a little dissatisfied with Chen Li, everyone else was quite satisfied with Liu Qingqing's boyfriend.

As for Liu Jianjun, he is actually not dissatisfied with Chen Li, he is simply dissatisfied with his daughter's boyfriend!

In fact, he had a pretty good impression of Chen Li, otherwise he wouldn't have invited Chen Li to their family dinner.

This is actually a disguised recognition of the relationship between Chen Li and Liu Qingqing.

It's just that Liu Jianjun still had a certain amount of resentment towards Liu Qingqing falling in love with Chen Li right after she entered college, so Mayor Liu Da basically didn't give Chen Li a good look at this meal.

However, Chen Li has already seen through Mayor Liu Da, who is considered a big shot in Erlong Town. However, his status in the Liu family does not seem to be as high as Chen Li imagined.

Both Liu Qingqing's grandfather and Liu Qingqing's mother can firmly suppress Mayor Liu Da.

Even Liu Qingqing's second aunt seems to have a higher status than the eldest, Mayor Liu.

So~ Chen Li has seen through Mayor Liu that his future father-in-law is actually a paper tiger.

As long as Chen Li takes down Liu Qingqing's grandfather and mother, Mayor Liu, there will be no trouble at all.

This meal lasted from about 11 o'clock at noon to past three o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Li almost used all the tricks in his previous life. It made the others happy!

Uh~ Probably except for Liu Qingqing’s father!

In fact, Chen Li also tried to please his future father-in-law, but he was obviously somewhat resistant.

Chen Li understood Mayor Liu's mood, so he continued to chat with Liu Qingqing's grandfather.

This person~ Once he gets older, he likes to have someone to talk to.

For an old revolutionary like Grandpa Liu, he most likes to tell stories about the past to his grandchildren!

"When I was sixty years old, I was really poor!"

"At that time, there was no one who stuttered in the family. Qingqing's brother-in-law disappeared at that time."

".!"

Okay~ Grandpa Liu told many stories that Chen Li had also heard from his grandmother before.

To put it simply, remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet!

More than an hour has passed since this lecture. If the conversation continues, Chen Li should stay for dinner.

If it's just a meal, that's fine. None of the Liu family's relatives will refuse.

But after all, Chen Li's home is in Erlong Town, and Chen Li's parents are still at home waiting for news about him!

"Grandpa, Aunt Jiang, Uncle Liu, Second Aunt, Second Uncle, Third Uncle"

"I'll go back first!"

The relative's greeting before leaving was enough for Chen Li to shout.

"That's okay~ I also said I would let you stay here for dinner tonight!"

Jiang Rong looked at Chen Li with a smile. As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she becomes. There is basically nothing wrong with this statement.

Of course, the premise is that the son-in-law is relatively reliable, and Chen Li happens to belong to this type.

"Aunt Jiang~ My home is not far away. You can come to my house for dinner at any time in the future."

Chen Li's face was glowing red because he had a few glasses of wine with a group of elders.

"Xiao Li is right. We are all a family from now on, so you can come anytime."

Liu Qingqing's second aunt handed the two bags in her hands to Chen Li, which contained some fruits and cakes.

Fruits are not uncommon in Erlong Town, but this cake is rare because there is no cake shop in Erlong Town.

Of course, the Chen family has no shortage of food. Chen Li had bought a bunch of various pastries before. After all, the three women in the family, one, two and three, all love sweets.

However, Chen Li did not reject Aunt Liu Qingqing's kindness. The gift was not actually a cake, but a gift of affection and a kind of recognition of Chen Li.

Although compared to the things Chen Li sent out, the value of these fruits and cakes is not on the table at all. But this recognition is enough!

When Chen Li left Liu's house, Liu Qingqing escorted him down the small building. In the corridor, Chen Li held Liu Qingqing's hand.

"I'll come pick you up tomorrow!"

"Um!"

Liu Qingqing was quite satisfied with her boyfriend's performance today. Chen Li especially made her grandpa very happy. For this alone, Liu Qingqing admired Chen Li very much.

You must know that her grandfather is usually extremely serious. Although he is very close to her, Liu Qingqing has seen the aura of her grandfather when he reprimanded her father and uncle.

Chen Li can gain the approval of her grandfather, which almost means that the possibilities between her and Chen Li are infinitely improved.

As for what Chen Li said about picking up Liu Qingqing tomorrow, that's because Liu Qingqing is going to Chen Li's house for dinner tomorrow.

This time Liu Qingqing went to the Chen family with the approval of her parents and even her grandfather.

In fact, whether Chen Li goes to Liu Qingqing's house for dinner, or Liu Qingqing goes to Chen Li's house for dinner, the meaning of this is not just about eating.

When Chen Li went to the Liu family, it was to gain the recognition of the Liu family. When Liu Qingqing went to the Chen family, the meaning was the same.

Of course~ Liu Qingqing has actually been recognized by the Chen family for a long time, and this meal is more of a formal recognition.

This means that the Liu family recognizes Chen Li, and they also hope that the Chen family recognizes Liu Qingqing.

In other words, as long as they eat this meal, it means that the two families have a relatively clear understanding of the relationship between the two children.

This routine seems to have originated from blind dates at first, and later gradually developed into a process between love and marriage.

Hi~ There is no way! Every place actually has rules similar to this. In comparison, Erlong Town is relatively simple.

Chen Li and Liu Qingqing waved goodbye. As soon as they left the government compound and passed Li Yuan's house, they saw Chen Xue and Wang Yan dancing rubber bands on the street.

She said she was jumping rubber bands, but her eyes kept glancing towards Chen Li. As soon as she saw Chen Li, Chen Xue's rubber bands stopped jumping and she immediately ran towards Li Yuan's house.

When Chen Li saw it, he knew that his parents probably couldn't stay at home and came to Li Yuan's house to wait for the news.

Sure enough, when Chen Li walked to the door of Li Yuan's house, Chen Guofu and Wang Dongmei came out.

"How about it?"

As soon as they met, Ms. Wang asked eagerly. She was quite satisfied with Liu Qingqing, her future daughter-in-law, so she was quite nervous about Chen Li's meal today.

Although Chen Guofu on the side did not speak, he looked at Chen Li.

"Well! Qingqing will come to our house for dinner tomorrow!"

Chen Li nodded and told the "good" news.

"Hi~ That's good!"

Ms. Wang clapped her hands and her expression became extremely happy.

"Old Chen, let's go home. Hurry up and fry more crispy pork. Qingqing loves that."

"By the way, Xiaoli, go buy two black sticks. Qingqing likes to eat the boiled fish you made."

"I'll go find Lao Deng and ask him to save some good meat tomorrow morning."

As soon as she got the exact news, Ms. Wang immediately made arrangements, while Chen Guofu turned around to say goodbye to Li Yuan's parents and prepared to go home to make preparations for tomorrow.

Chen Li was a little speechless. He looked at his mother with a troubled face and said:

"Mom~ This is February, where can I find black sticks?"

The blockade is finally unblocked. Lao Yun has not been able to update well during this period. Lao Yun would like to say sorry to everyone. But what can I say! Lao Yun can’t help it! After all, business is still important! But in the next time, Lao Yun will work hard to update, so what can I say?

No need to say anything anymore, Lao Yun has gone to code words, and today I will come to you first!
