Chapter 409 Gu Caiwei: My husband’s family is so financially powerful?

At the entrance of the Deng Clan Ancestral Hall in Naye.

The much-anticipated group dividend is underway.

"Deng Changbao, 12 shares, 24,000 yuan."

"Deng Changsen, 14 shares, 28,000 yuan."

"Deng Yunxing, 15 shares, 30,000 yuan."

“…”

Below, Gu Caiwei, with a big belly, looked at the clan members with surprise as they went on stage one by one to receive dividends. This was the first time she attended a clan meeting after marrying into the Deng family, and also the first time she saw the entire clan member receiving dividends from the group.

Seeing that every member of the tribe could get at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, Gu Caiwei was amazed.

She is also a top student who graduated from a key university. In addition, due to family reasons, her horizons are much broader than those of ordinary people. She naturally understands that in this day and age, there are still many places in the country that are extremely poor, and the annual income of the whole family may be less than one thousand yuan.

As for the Deng family, the group dividend is at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year, which is really impressive.

"Deng Yunqiang, 120 shares, 240,000 yuan."

"Deng Changyu, 120 shares, 240,000 yuan."

"Deng Yungui, 130 shares, 260,000 yuan."

“…”

Gu Caiwei was already amazed by the fact that she could receive dividends of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year. However, the later the clan members came, the higher the dividend amounts they received. Now, any member of the clan could receive more than 200,000 yuan in dividends.

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Oh my God, more than 200,000 yuan in dividends a year, this is too much!"

"Weiwei, this is nothing, there is more to come!"

The one who answered was Zhang Xiuping. She had been married to the Deng family for ten years and could be said to have witnessed with her own eyes the rise of the entire Naye Deng family under the leadership of her father-in-law. She was accustomed to such dividend scenes.

Gu Caiwei's eyes widened as she asked, "Sister-in-law, a dividend of more than 200,000 yuan is nothing. How much did the person who got the most? Could it be millions?"

Zhang Xiuping said with a smile: "You will soon know how much the maximum is."

After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Gu Caiwei continued to read on out of curiosity.

And the result was just as the eldest sister-in-law said. The more time went on, the more dividends the clan members got. Two clan members even got more than 500,000 in dividends, which was really eye-opening for Gu Caiwei.

You know, her brother-in-law runs a fairly large clothing factory. When the business was at its peak, he only made about 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year. As a result, a member of the Naye Deng family alone received dividends of more than 500,000 yuan every year. This is simply incredible.

"Jiu Gong, 2,000 shares, 4 million yuan."

Just when Gu Caiwei felt her eyes were opened, her father-in-law came on stage and received a dividend of 4 million yuan.

This scene made Gu Caiwei stunned.

She had heard from her husband that the present status of the Nye Deng Group was all due to the efforts of her father-in-law, the head of the clan. She also expected that her father-in-law should have more shares in the group than other clan members, but she never expected that the shares were so large that he received a full 4 million in dividends in one go. It was really terrifying.

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Weiwei, are you shocked?"

Gu Caiwei nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, exclaiming: "Dad is so awesome!"

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "Dad is really amazing. When I first got married, the Naye Deng family was not much stronger than our Poxin Village. But ever since Dad took the lead in raising funds in the clan to establish a passenger transport company, the economy of the entire Naye Deng family has begun to take off, and it really changes every year.

Today, in the entire Bobai County, there is no clan that can compare with our Naye Deng clan. Even in the entire Guangxi, I am afraid that no clan can compare with our Naye Deng clan. All this is due to my father. Without him, there would be no Naye Deng clan today."

Upon hearing this, Gu Caiwei was filled with admiration for her father-in-law. Before this, she only knew that the clan members respected her father-in-law very much, and she also knew that her father-in-law made great contributions to the development of the Naye Deng family, but her husband did not tell her the details, so she was not very clear.

Now, after hearing what her sister-in-law said, she realized how much her father-in-law had contributed to the Deng family.

While the two sisters-in-law were talking, the clan members who received this year's dividends were all beaming with joy.

Although after the huge dividends in the past two years, all the clan members are now rich and have no urgent need for money, but money, as an omnipotent thing, has always been a thing that people only complain about having too little, but no one will complain about having too much.

Now that I have received a large sum of money, it is hard not to be happy.

Deng Shirong was equally happy. He had previously spent over 13 million to buy 222 acres of land in preparation for building a night market street. His cash reserves had dropped to less than 10 million. Now with the 4 million dividend he had received, his cash reserves had been increased to over 10 million.

In this way, there is enough money to build a night market street.

After the dividends were distributed, the clan meeting ended.

The clansmen left in groups of three or five, and Deng Shirong asked his sons to carry the money back home.

After returning home, Gu Caiwei said with admiration: "Dad, your business ability is really amazing. In just a few years, you have led the whole family out of poverty and into prosperity. There are really not many people in the world who can do what you do."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Weiwei, you are too kind. It's just that heroes are made by the times."

Gu Caiwei said, "Dad, you don't have to be modest. More than one billion people in the country dream of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, but it is extremely rare to be able to achieve what you have done. This cannot be explained by the times making heroes."

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "Weiwei is right. Dad, you are simply the God of Wealth from heaven."

Deng Yunzhu said with a laugh: "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, please stop praising me. If you continue to praise me, Dad will be unable to close his mouth."

Deng Shirong laughed and said, "Well, since we are distributing dividends today, let's all summarize this year's gains. Yuntai, you go first."

Deng Yuntai responded and said with a smile on his face: "This year is another bumper year. Compared with last year, we have added three supermarkets, which further reduced the purchase cost. The annual profit has exceeded six million.

Moreover, with the addition of management talents introduced by Yunheng, the supermarket management system has been improved, laying a solid foundation for rapid development next year.”

These words once again stunned Gu Caiwei. She had been married for ten months and knew that her elder brother and sister-in-law ran several chain supermarkets, but she had never asked how much profit the supermarkets made. Now, when she suddenly heard this number, her three views were refreshed again.

Before marrying into the Deng family, Gu Caiwei thought her husband's family had a net worth of only over 10 million.

Of course, a net worth of tens of millions is already extremely impressive in that era. If there were a list of domestic rich people like in later generations, he would definitely be on the list.

But some time ago, her father-in-law spent more than 13 million to buy a piece of land in Nanning, which made Gu Caiwei realize that her husband's family's financial resources were far more than just 10 million.

However, it was not until this moment that Gu Caiwei truly witnessed the financial strength of her husband's family. The dividends received by her father-in-law in a year and the profits earned by her eldest brother and sister-in-law in a year alone added up to 10 million.

This does not include my sister-in-law's hot pot restaurant and my brother-in-law's home appliance store, with a combined annual revenue of more than 10 million. I'm afraid there are not many people like this in the whole country, right?

Deng Shirong praised: "Very good, it seems that starting from next year, the supermarket chain can enter a phase of rapid expansion."

Deng Yuntai nodded and said, "Yes, with a complete management system, I don't have to worry about the supermarket from site selection to opening. There will be dedicated personnel to do it. I only need to grasp the general direction."

Deng Shirong said: "Yes, it would be best if the chain supermarkets first covered the important cities in Guangxi, and then covered all cities, and then expanded to Guangdong and other provinces. When the chain supermarkets cover all prefecture-level cities in the country, they will grow into a real giant."

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.

No one can even imagine a chain supermarket covering all prefecture-level cities across the country. Wouldn't it become a behemoth like a supply and marketing cooperative or a department store?

Deng Yuntai took a deep breath and said with full energy: "Dad, I will do my best to achieve this grand goal."

Deng Shirong nodded, looked at his second daughter-in-law and said, "Weiwei, Yunheng is busy with work and has no time to come back for the New Year, so you will summarize it on his behalf."

Gu Caiwei smiled upon hearing this and simply concluded, "Yunheng has made a lot of gains this year. Not only did he get married, he also had a child, and his rank was promoted to deputy director. It can be considered a triple blessing."

Deng Shirong laughed and said, "This is indeed a triple blessing."

Deng Yunzhu said with a smile: "The one who gained the most this year has to be my second brother!"

Deng Shirong looked at his youngest daughter and said, "Azhu, it's your turn now, you can also speak!"

Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "My development is not as fast as my brother's. This year, I only added two hot pot restaurants. One has opened, and the other is still under renovation. The profit for the whole year is only more than 1.8 million."

Deng Shirong said, "Don't be in a hurry, take your time. The main thing is to recruit more management talents, like your eldest brother who has a capable assistant, and improve the management system. When you open a branch in the future, you can just send someone to do it. You don't have to do everything yourself, and the efficiency will be much higher."

Deng Yunzhu said: "I understand."

Deng Shirong hummed and looked at his fourth son.

Deng Yunhua quickly said: "My change is not big, just like last year, I made hundreds of thousands."

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "You run it like this first, and I'll find you a profitable business later."

Deng Yunhua's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, thank you, Dad."

Deng Shirong looked at his youngest son and asked, "Xiaoheng, how about you? Are you adapting well in school?"

Deng Yunheng said: "I have adapted. I feel that studying medicine is really interesting and not boring at all. I have made many like-minded friends in school. Professor Li also takes good care of me because of my second sister."

Deng Shirong said: "Since you like it, then study hard. As long as you can make some achievements in a certain medical field, you will be successful and famous."

Deng Yunheng said with full motivation: "I will work hard."

Deng Shirong then looked at Xiao Dong'er and said with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, then you should also summarize your gains this year!"

Xiao Dong'er said excitedly, "Okay, Grandpa, I got first place in the grade in both final exams this year. Next year, I will continue to work hard and not let other students surpass me. Then, Grandpa, you must fulfill your promise and continue to take me out to play."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "No problem. As long as you can maintain this ranking, Xiaodong'er, I will take you wherever you want to go during the summer vacation."

Xiao Dong'er said proudly, "I promise that next semester, no one will be able to take away my first place in the grade."

"Very good, then grandpa will wait for your good news."

After Deng Shirong finished praising his eldest granddaughter, he looked at his youngest grandson and said with a smile, "Dongzi, do you want to summarize it as well?"

Dongzi opened his mouth and originally wanted to report his grades like his sister, but he found that his grades were not good enough, so he was a little stuck.

He hesitated for a long time before he said confidently: "Grandpa, I ate well this year and grew 6 centimeters taller."

"puff……"

This summary made the whole family burst into laughter.

Dongzi blinked, not understanding what the elders were laughing at.

Deng Yunzhu held her stomach and laughed: "Dongzi, you are so talented, haha, you really made me laugh to death!"

Deng Shirong couldn't help laughing and said, "Well, Dongzi, this summary is quite accurate. Keep eating well next year and try to grow another 6 centimeters."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At this point, even Gu Caiwei couldn't help but hold her stomach and laughed, "Stop teasing me. If you keep laughing, your stomach will hurt."

Zhang Xiuping, the mother, laughed so hard that tears came out. With such a funny son, there will never be a lack of jokes in the family.

…

Lunar New Year's eve.

The family was busy in the morning, cooking rice, chicken and meat to offer to their great-grandfather, and pasting Spring Festival couplets. Xiaodong'er and Dongzi started early to wash their hair and take a bath and put on new clothes and shoes.

The more naughty children had already disassembled the firecrackers and put them in their pockets, then lit a stick of incense and carried the disassembled firecrackers around the streets to set off the fireworks.

They have various ways of playing. Some stick firecrackers directly into cow dung to explode them, some step on firecrackers directly under their feet and then light them without batting an eyelid, and some hold firecrackers in their hands, light them and then throw them into the sky.

Or you can light firecrackers and cover the area with tiles, broken bowls, etc., so that the firecrackers can blow these things to pieces.

In short, there is nothing these children can't do, except what you can't think of.

Soon, Deng Shirong prepared the offerings for Grandpa Ancestor and called his sons, daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law, "Let's go and offer sacrifices to Grandpa Ancestor. Weiwei, you are pregnant and it will be inconvenient for you. You can just wait at home. You don't have to go."

Although Gu Caiwei wanted to go and take a look, she didn't know if there were any taboos, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Dad."

Then, Deng Shirong took his sons, daughters and daughters-in-law to worship his grandfather.

In Bobai, there are ancestral halls and A-Zu Gong Halls. Friends from the north may not understand what the difference between the two is.

First, let’s talk about the ancestral hall. Generally speaking, the ancestral hall is of a larger scale and exists independently. A residence must not be connected to the ancestral hall.

Take the Naye Deng Ancestral Hall as an example. As long as one is a descendant of the Naye Deng ancestor, no matter where he lives, he will have a share in it. This is also the reason why people were sent to notify other branches of the clan when the Naye Deng Ancestral Hall was rebuilt. The spirit tablets of the ancestors are also enshrined in the ancestral hall.

The A-Zugong Hall is generally a smaller building. It can exist independently or be connected to a residence. It is even possible to set up the A-Zugong Hall directly in the home.

This A-Zu Gong Hall generally refers to a specific ancestor.

For example, the Azugong Hall in Naye Village specifically refers to the ancestor Gongchao. This Azugong Hall was built by the descendants of Gongchao.

Another thing is that there are much more A-Zu Gong Halls than ancestral halls. There is only one ancestral hall in the entire Naye Deng clan, while there is an A-Zu Gong Hall in almost every village. Even if there are not twenty of them in total, there are at least a dozen.

As for the functions of the two, they are also different.

The Azugong Hall is worshipped during every festival, and also when one gets married and has children. Also, when a person is dying, he or she is carried to the Azugong Hall to die.

The ancestral hall is not usually used for worship, and even during the Chinese New Year, clan members will not go there to worship. Worship is only done on certain days by the clan members themselves, and individuals generally do not go there to worship.

Deng Shirong took his son, daughter and daughter-in-law to offer sacrifices to his grandfather, and then came back to start preparing the reunion dinner.

At around twelve o'clock, Deng Shirong prepared a large table of delicious food.

When Gu Caiwei sat at the table, she said in surprise, "Dad, are we having the New Year's Eve dinner so early here?"

Deng Shirong nodded and smiled, "Well, we all have the reunion dinner at noon here. Weiwei, your mother's family should have the reunion dinner in the afternoon, right?"

Gu Caiwei said: "Yes, my mother's family always starts eating the New Year's Eve dinner before dark. The whole family eats and chats while eating, and sometimes they even eat until New Year's Eve!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "The New Year's Eve dinner here is not as particular as that in your mother's family. If I remember correctly, the New Year's Eve dinner in your mother's family is particular about "three completes", "three cakes" and "three pills", right?"

Zhang Xiuping asked, "What are 'Sanquan', 'Sangao' and 'Sanwan'?"

Gu Caiwei explained with a smile: "Sister-in-law, in my mother's family, the three wholes refer to a whole chicken, a whole duck, and a whole fish; the three cakes refer to fish cakes, meat cakes, and mutton cakes; and the three balls refer to fish balls, meat balls, and lotus root balls. They are all essential dishes for the reunion dinner."

Zhang Xiuping was amazed and said, "That's really particular. Our reunion dinner here is more casual, especially for rural families like us. Basically, the must-have dishes are chicken and bamboo shoots. The rest are just dishes that the family likes."

Deng Shirong said, "Let's get started. Let's eat and chat at the same time, or the food will get cold."

So, the whole family started to work. Except for the pregnant Gu Caiwei, all the other adults poured glutinous rice wine. As for the two younger generations, Xiaodong'er and Dongzi, they naturally drank Jianlibao.

When the meal was halfway through, all the important people in the village came over from their homes with wine to toast. This is a habit that has been formed in recent years. At the beginning, only a few more active members of the village went around to toast, but later more and more members came to visit each other.

Given Deng Shirong's status and position in the village, naturally the most people came to toast him.

Basically, any member of the tribe who drinks will come over to toast.

Those who have a better relationship will sit down and eat and chat after the toast, while those who have a less good relationship will leave after the toast.

In short, every year, the most lively place in the village is naturally Deng Shirong's family.

It was also the first time for Gu Caiwei to encounter such a lively scene, and she felt it was quite novel.

In the evening, all the clansmen gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and the house was bustling until midnight.

Then, the fireworks and firecrackers at midnight undoubtedly made Gu Caiwei watch with great interest.

It was her first time to celebrate the New Year at her husband's home and it was quite interesting. The only regret was that her husband was unable to come back to celebrate the New Year with her due to work reasons.

Needless to say, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family stays at home, warming themselves by the fire and chatting, and does not go anywhere.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, married daughters go home to visit relatives. Wuhan also has such a custom, but because the journey is long and Gu Caiwei is already in the late stages of pregnancy, she definitely cannot go back to her parents' home to visit relatives.

After breakfast, Deng Changyuan and Deng Changdong each brought their wives and children and came to Deng Shirong's house with gifts.

"Jiu Gong!"

"Nine ancestors!"

Deng Changyuan's family and Deng Changdong's family all greeted Deng Shirong.

Deng Shirong nodded, pointed to the car parked at the door, and said, "When you get here, put your things away and get ready to go!"

Deng Yuntai replied, "Put it in there and see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, there's still some space in the trunk of my car."

Deng Changyuan said as he put the gifts on the trunk, "It can fit. There's enough space."

After putting the gifts away, everyone started to get on the bus.

Deng Shirong warned: "A Yuan, you have to drive carefully, okay?"

Deng Changyuan nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, Jiugong, I will be careful."

Zhang Xiuping greeted him, "Dad, we'll be leaving first."

Deng Shirong hummed: "Have a good trip."

Soon, two Santanas drove out of the gate one after another and headed towards Poxin Village, Longtan Town.

In the car driven by Deng Yuntai, in addition to their family of four, there were also Ou Guohua and her daughter.

Zhang Xiuping, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said with emotion: "Ten years ago, if we had a Forever or Phoenix bicycle to ride back to our parents' home, we would have been very prestigious in the village. At that time, we could never have imagined that there would be a day when we could actually drive a car back to our parents' home. It was like a dream."

Ou Guohua nodded and said, "Yes, who could have thought that this day would come? I'm afraid even my brother-in-law didn't expect it, right?"

Deng Yuntai said as he drove: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a big change in just ten years. At that time, I was working hard in the tile factory making large vats. I earned more than 200 yuan a month, which was a job that everyone in the village envied. If I relied on the income at that time, even if I didn't eat or drink for decades, I couldn't afford this car."

Zhang Xiuping said with a smile: "This time we drive back in a car, I'm afraid the whole Poxin Village will be shocked."

This is not just talk. It is no exaggeration to say that the sedans in the early 1990s can be compared with the private jets of later generations.
