Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 451 Returning home in glory

Not to mention the two people whispering here, Li Weidong's family drove in a large circle to complete the 800-meter straight distance.

Shen Yueying complained about this: "It's great to walk back. I have to take a car and smell the gasoline. My brain hurts. I might as well be walking!"

"Mom, no rich person can walk. In ancient times, we took sedans, but now we have to take cars. My brother is a big shot, and it is his destiny to ride in sedans. We will all benefit from it!" Li Weihong said with a smile while driving.

"Drive your car, you've got the advantage, otherwise you still wouldn't know what to do, maybe it's the person carrying the sedan chair!" Shen Yueying heard the teasing taste in Li Weihong's mouth.

Li Weihong looked at Shen Yueying sitting next to him and said with a smile: "I don't agree with what mom said. My brother doesn't affect me in carrying the sedan chair!"

"In ancient times, the person who carried the sedan chair was called the bearer, and later the person who pulled the cart was called the coachman. Is the coachman the driver? What am I doing now?" Li Weihong patted the steering wheel and continued.

"Can it be the same? If this was also called carrying a sedan, people all over the country would be rushing to carry it!" Shen Yueying said with a smile.

There are more and more cars these days, and drivers are no longer as popular as before, but it is definitely a prestigious job, especially for small car drivers.

After lunch, Li Weidong was confused for a while and wanted to call Ding Yuan to the study, but gave up when he saw a group of children in the study.

He opened the drawer and took out a bulging document bag. He smoked a cigarette and walked out of the house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ding Yuan walking over in a hurry.

"Chairman, are you going out?" Ding Yuan asked, looking at the document bag in Li Weidong's hand. He didn't know that Li Weidong had plans to go out.

The bodyguard on duty just now told him that the boss came out with a document bag. Ding Yuan guessed that Li Weidong might be going out, so he came over quickly.

"I was looking for you, here's this for you!" Li Weidong handed the document bag in his hand to Ding Yuan.

"What is it?" Ding Yuan took it and took a look. There was no logo on the cover and he didn't dare to open it. He asked curiously.

"The New Year's money given to you is a red envelope for each of you, but not for you and Zhang Hao!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"Hehe, thank you boss, we two can't hold you back because of our age. They are still young and I guess we can hold them back!" Ding Yuan said with a smile.

He knew that Li Weidong must be joking. This is also the custom. Every year before the Chinese New Year, a red envelope is given out, which is regarded as a special bonus.

Depending on the length of service, the positions are different, there are more and less, some are thick and some are thin. Of course, no one will compare who has more money and who has less money!

As soon as he touched it, he knew that it was not just a red envelope, but there must be other things. As he said that, Ding Yuan opened the document bag and took a look.

The two housekeepers came into view. Ding Yuan raised his head and glanced at Li Weidong. He immediately knew what was going on and had a look of sincerity and fear on his face.

Instead of giving out red envelopes, give out houses instead!

"Chairman, this is too expensive. We can't take it. The salary you usually give is enough!" Ding Yuan declined.

Although he hasn't looked at the size of the house yet, even a one-bedroom apartment is worth a lot of money, not to mention that Li Weidong will not be shabby when he makes the move.

"I've already applied for the certificate, but if you don't want it, wouldn't I be embarrassed?"

"No, no, Chairman, that's not what I meant. I mean, it's too expensive. We haven't done anything. How can we accept it..."

"Mojijiji, that's it. I'll go back to my hometown tomorrow and you guys can arrange a vacation!" Li Weidong waved his hand to interrupt Ding Yuan and ordered.

"I will take Miao Yu and four of them back with you, Zhang Hao and the others will stay behind to look after the house, and the others will go home to celebrate the New Year. What do you think of this arrangement?" Ding Yuan said quickly when he heard what was going on.

Now Li Weidong's total number of security guards is less than twenty, half of whom are on vacation and half of whom are on duty. It was the same before. Ding Yuan feels that his arrangement is pretty good.

"You don't need so many people to come back with me. You and Zhang Hao should go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year. You can't let you old people suffer all the time!" Li Weidong shook his head and said.

"You can't be without people around you!" Ding Yuan insisted. He was responsible for Li Weidong's safety, and sometimes he couldn't follow his boss's requirements.

"The document bag contains the account acceptance certificate issued by the household registration department for you. You go back and get this done!" Li Weidong pointed at the document bag and said.

"..." Ding Yuan quickly opened the document bag and found a receipt stamped with the official seal of the household registration department. There was also an empty form for relocation personnel on it.

"Chairman, I..."

"Your eldest son will go to junior high school next year. Please transfer the household registration of your wife and children here. The educational resources in the city are better. When your children are older, they also need the company of their father, and you won't be able to take care of them!" Li Weidong said.

The current household registration system in big cities has not yet been liberalized, and there are almost no other ways to transfer one's household registration besides taking exams and becoming an official.

However, small town household registration has now begun to be piloted. Urban household registration at the county level and below can be relocated as long as they have a legitimate job.

The current household registration system is seriously unsuitable for economic development. There are more and more outsiders like Ding Yuan working for private enterprises in big cities. It is no longer enough to rely on a temporary residence certificate to deal with various problems!

"Thank you, Chairman!" Ding Yuan said nothing. The boss has already taken care of the matter for you, so there is no point in declining.

"Hey, it's only a matter of one or two years. In a few years, the Qizhou household registration will not be worth a penny. Zhang Hao doesn't need it now. He can just get it by himself in two years!" Li Weidong put out the cigarette in his hand and shook his head to explain.

One sentence.

Things may seem simple, he can just talk, and the people below will naturally handle it, but without the support of policies, he has to run the risk of violating regulations.

The higher your status, the more you have to pay attention to details!

Ding Yuan must believe Li Weidong's words. Even if it is really worthless, it is still difficult to do it now.

Moreover, it is a happy event for him to have his family reunited in Qizhou, and he does not have to travel long distances back to his hometown to find a wife.

Moreover, the eldest son of his family is indeed approaching the age of entering junior high school. If he does not obtain his household registration in advance, he will have no choice but to attend junior high school in his hometown.

The quality of teaching in my hometown is really worrying. Most of the teachers are graduates of the local teachers' college, and some even graduate from high schools. The teaching staff is far behind that of big cities.

In order for their children to go to a better school, any parent would not work hard enough!

Early the next morning, several cars were parked in front of Li Weidong's house. The cars were occupied by several colleagues with sufficient status. Knowing that the boss was going home to celebrate the New Year, he had to come to see him off and send his blessings, both emotionally and logically.

Li Weidong and his family came out of the yard. Several children were running and jumping, getting into the car one after another. Li Weidong and several others also came out behind.

Li Weidong shook hands one by one and said: "I wish you all a happy New Year, a happy family, all the best, drink less, eat less meat, and be healthy!"

"Definitely! Definitely, Happy New Year, Chairman!" Several people said the same thing.

Li Weidong waved his hand and got into the car. The convoy slowly drove out of the street. The ground piles at the door rose. The street also temporarily entered a state of isolation. At least for some time in the future, the ground piles would not fall down.

In this era when there are not many private cars, Li Weidong's motorcade home is very conspicuous. It is a luxurious Coaster, surrounded by three Mercedes-Benz cars guarding it from the front, left and right.

The convoy was also equipped with six bodyguards, which were enough to deal with ordinary emergencies. Ding Yuan finally followed him back. He had to send Li Weidong's family back before leaving. Li Weidong agreed.

The journey was very fast and didn't stop. We took the highway when we could and took the national highway if we couldn't. It took nearly four hours and we finally arrived at the county when it was time for lunch.

It took another half an hour before we set foot on the road into their village. Both sides of the road were very neatly cleared, and the river along the road was covered with a thick layer of ice.

After turning a corner, the road went straight to the entrance of the village. The trees in winter had completely lost their leaves, and the village was exposed to the eyes without any cover.

It's just that a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village and it was very lively. Li Weidong was quite puzzled as to which family was getting married. But it was not appropriate to welcome the bride at this time. Even if it was a second wedding, there would be no worship in the afternoon.

Moreover, he had never heard his parents mention it. Most of the people in the village had the same surname and were from the same ancestral family. It was no exaggeration to say that the whole village would eat at weddings and funerals.

But he and Liu Jinhui were sitting in the car, Li Chengwen and Shen Yueying were sitting in the Coaster with their children, and Li Weidong had no one to ask.

When we were approaching the entrance of the village, we suddenly saw white smoke from burning firecracker primers rising from the entrance of the village, and soon we heard the crackling sound of firecrackers.

Li Weidong thought to himself that this was really going to coincide with someone else's wedding. He turned around and saw no wedding car through the rear window!

In this moment, before the firecrackers had finished going off, Li Weidong's car arrived at the entrance of the village. The road was blocked, and he had to get out of the car to chat with the villagers.

Li Weidong asked Ding Yuan to park the car on the side of the road, hold two boxes of Huazi, open the door, and say hello to his fellow villagers.

Unexpectedly, there were several more sounds of artillery. This sound was familiar to Li Weidong. It was the salute at various ceremonies in the countryside.

A cast iron object similar to a hand grenade, with gunpowder inside and a primer left behind. The person who fired the gun lit it with a fire stick from a distance.

This kind of salute is usually based on the sound of the trumpets of the wind and percussion band at the ceremony. Depending on the sound of the trumpets or the intimacy of the distinguished guests, there are three or four shots.

Li Weidong didn't care how many shots there were. Anyway, it was a lot of shots. He waited for the gunfire to end before he stepped forward with a cigarette.

"Third Master, whose family is having a happy event today?" Li Weidong held two cigarettes with his fingers and handed them to the village director Li Zongqi.

Li Zongqi also came over, took one inside, and said with a smile: "Of course it's your home, otherwise who would we be standing here waiting for?"

"No one in my family is getting married?" Li Weidong was confused, but he seemed to understand something when he looked at Li Weimin, who was standing nearby and winking.

Then he continued to spread cigarettes to the villagers, but was stopped by Li Zongqi, took the cigarette case in Li Weidong's hand and said: "Give them the cigarettes and let them divide it among themselves!"

"Okay, okay!" Li Weidong said with a smile, then handed another box to Li Weimin and said, "Share it for everyone!"

At this time, Liu Jinhui also got off the car, came over and stood next to Li Weidong, said hello to Li Zongqi, and said with a smile: "Hello, Third Grandpa!"

When we parked at the entrance of the village, Li Weidong got out of the car. As the daughter-in-law of the Li family, Liu Jinhui also had to get out of the car to greet the scene. It was not only a matter of politeness, but also to make Li Weidong look good.

Hearing Liu Jinhui's greetings, Li Zongqi hurriedly said with a smile: "My granddaughter-in-law is back, just come back and stay at home for a few more days!"

As a result, the spoken language in my hometown is no longer standard, and I always want to rely on Mandarin, mainly because I am worried that others will not understand their dialect.

Sun's daughter-in-law is different from Li Weidong. One grew up watching her since she was a child, and her seniority is there. Even if she is a rich man now, he still has this face.

Liu Jinhui is different. They have nothing to do with you. They don't have to give you face as an old man, but you can't rely on your old age to act like one.

Then he complained with a smile: "You said you didn't tell me in advance when you came back. If I hadn't met the Wei people who came back just now, I wouldn't have known you were coming back today!"

"This event is a little hasty. If I had known, I would have had a serious ceremony, hired a suona troupe, and all the young and old men in the village would come to welcome me!"

"Third Master, it's too much, it's too much. I, He Dehe, can't help the young and old men in the village to come and greet you!" Li Weidong quickly waved his hand.

Li Zongqi said sternly: "Why not? How much have you done for the village over the years? You didn't let me tell you before, but I unconscionably took the credit for it!"

"But the people in the village are not stupid. I, Li Zongqi, have been a village cadre all my life. No one in the village knows what I am capable of. When did I have this ability!"

"No, not long ago, the man named Hu ranked you second on the rich list. People in the village immediately knew what was going on and wanted to thank you!"

"It's good for you. You usually come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, but now you don't come back. I'm afraid of bothering you when I go to Qizhou. I can't see you even if I want to thank you!"

"Everyone in the village estimates that you should come back for the New Year, but no one can be sure. You are back this time. Why don't we come to welcome you back home in glory?"

"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, don't treat it like this!" After hearing this, Li Weidong quickly waved his hands and said, this is going to be on fire.

Li Weidong is most afraid of such trouble, otherwise he would not keep his charity so low-key.

"Why is it not worth mentioning? If you hadn't kept it secret, I would have written a monument for you. I have to say it in front of everyone today!"

Li Zongqi waved his hand to Li Weidong to prevent Li Weidong from speaking, and then turned his head to face everyone.

"Young and old men, this matter has been on my mind for many years. Today, in front of Wei Dong and the big guys, I have to say it!"

"From the beginning of building the road under our feet to now, Weidong has donated more than several million to our village. I have kept the accounts there. If you don't believe it, you can check it with me!"

"Build roads to every household, build schools, provide free tuition for children, provide five-guarantee households in the village, activity centers, the two-hundred-meter-deep wells and reservoirs in the back mountains, water pipes and faucets from every house, and our village

The production roads into the land, water canals, and youth foundations were all donated by Weidong to the village!"

"Everyone said, who in our village has not received these benefits, which family has no children in school, which family has not walked this road, and which family has not drank the water from the back mountain!" The last words must be somewhat conclusive and must arouse some recognition.

resonance.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zongqi spoke, the crowd began to respond.

At this time, an unusually abrupt voice sounded from the crowd, "Uncle San, we can't forget the well digger when we're drinking water, and we can't forget the bridge builder when we cross a bridge. Weidong has done so many things for our village, we should pay tribute to Wei Dong."

This monument cannot be forgotten by everyone!"
