Chapter 452: Shock

Banger Brigade.

After seeing the tremendous changes in their hometown, Deng Changyong and his family were no longer in a hurry to go home. Instead, they sat on small stools at the entrance of the convenience store, listening to several uncles and other clan members talking about the development of the Naye Deng family over the past decade.

From raising funds to set up a passenger transport company to the establishment of the Deng Group till now, Deng Changyong's family was shocked to hear the story.

I really could not have imagined that in just over ten years, the clan has achieved such great success. Every household lives in a beautiful villa and has at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings. It's really incredible.

Even the beautiful Naye Deng community that I saw in the county town yesterday was built with funds raised by the clan members.

All of these were done under the leadership of the clan leader Ye Jiugong.

After listening to everything Jiu Gong has done for the clan, Deng Changyong was truly in awe of Jiu Gong, the clan leader. Jiu Gong's broad mind was truly unmatched. Most people who had this ability would be eager to seek benefits for their own family, and would never be so selfless as to lead the entire clan to become rich!

Deng Changyong feels inferior to him in this regard.

As the only head of the entire Naye Deng family, he can be regarded as one of the faces of the clan. However, since he started working, he has returned to his hometown very few times, especially in the past ten years or so, after bringing his mother to the capital, he has not returned even once.

It can be said that his contribution to the clan is nothing at all.

Of course, this is also determined by the nature of his job.

If he went into politics, as a county leader, he would be able to bring considerable help to the clan, but if he went into the military, even as a chief, he would not be able to give much help to the clan, so Deng Changyong cannot be blamed for not taking care of his clan members.

After explaining the development of the clan over the past ten years, Deng Yunqian asked, "Ayong, I remember that when you came back to pick up your mother to go to the capital more than ten years ago, you were already a deputy division commander. What is your current rank?"

Deng Changyong said: "Deputy..."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the tribesmen present could not help but exclaim in surprise. Because of the militia, the rural people of this era understood the levels of the military better than the rural people of later generations, and naturally understood how awesome this level was.

Deng Yunqian took a breath and asked, "What is your current military rank?"

Deng Changyong said: "Young..."

Deng Yunqian said excitedly: "Damn, our Deng clan has also had a leader. Does anyone know if the clan leader is at home now? If he is, tell him the good news as soon as possible."

Immediately, a member of the tribe responded, "It seems the tribe leader has gone to Nanning and hasn't come back yet."

Deng Yunsheng also replied excitedly: "Then call the clan leader. The clan has appointed a new leader. This is a big deal. We must tell the clan leader."

Deng Yunlin volunteered, "I'll call the clan leader."

The other clan members were also full of praise, and their eyes towards Deng Changyong's family changed.

After all, this is the chief, who is a great figure no matter in ancient times or modern times. If such a great figure can emerge in the tribe, the tribe members can brag louder to others when they go out.

As the saying goes, if you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in the night with fine clothes.

After her son became the chief, he never returned to his hometown once, which was a small regret for Chang Yong's mother. Now he has returned before her death, and the tribe members also know that her son has become the only chief of the Naye Deng clan. Seeing the tribe members praising her son, a smile appeared on Chang Yong's mother's pale face.

At this moment, she felt that she had no regrets in death.

…

Nanning.

Wuyue Square luxury residence.

Deng Shirong sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and reading today's newspaper.

The phone next to the sofa suddenly rang, and Deng Shirong answered: "Hello, who is this?"

Deng Yunlin's voice came over the phone: "Uncle Jiu, this is Yunlin, have you eaten?"

"have eaten!"

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Deng Yunlin got straight to the point: "Uncle Jiu, Chang Yong from the old house Yun Hai's family came back today with his mother, wife, son, and daughter-in-law. Chang Yong is now a very powerful person, and has become a chief."

Deng Shirong was not surprised to hear this, because in his previous life, Deng Changyong also brought his mother back at this time. If he remembered correctly, his mother was very ill. Less than ten days after the family returned in his previous life, his mother passed away. After the funeral of his mother, the family returned to the capital.

Therefore, Deng Shirong had long known that their Deng family had a leader named Deng Changyong.

If Deng Shirong wanted to investigate, he could have found Deng Changyong's unit more than ten years ago and then contacted him.

However, Deng Shirong felt that there was no need for that and therefore never took any action.

Indeed, Deng Changyong is a good nephew. After his mother passed away in his previous life, he came back to pay homage every two or three years. After he retired from the army, he came back every year. During this time, he also actively gave advice to his clansmen and contributed to their development.

He even donated a lot of money to the clan, which is pretty good.

It’s a pity that his children and grandchildren all grew up in the capital and have no sense of belonging to their hometown. When Deng Changyong was still alive, his children and grandchildren went back to his hometown no more than five times. After he passed away, his children and grandchildren never came back again.

Although no matter where they are, it cannot change the fact that they are descendants of the Deng family, but those who did not grow up in the village will always be separated from the clan. Once their elders pass away, it is basically time for them to cut off contact with the clan.

It was for this reason that Deng Shirong did not bother to contact Deng Changyong more than ten years ago.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Deng Shirong replied with a smile: "The tribe has a new leader, which is a great thing!"

Deng Yunlin laughed and said, "Yes, it is indeed a great thing. As the old saying goes, being made a marquis or a general is a great honor. Uncle Jiu, do you want to come back?"

Deng Shirong said: "Well, Chang Yong rarely comes back, I will go back soon."

Next, Deng Yunlin told Deng Shirong about his third sister-in-law’s health condition. The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

…

Naye Brigade.

Deng Yunqian said, "Third sister-in-law, Changyong, I have plenty of accommodation, you guys can take your luggage and follow me home!"

Chang Yong's mother couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this and said, "Uncle Wu, we appreciate your kindness, but my health is so bad that I have to go to Grandpa's Hall anytime. I won't stay at your place anymore, so as not to bring bad luck to you. We can just move back to the old house."

Deng Yunqian said, "Third sister-in-law, what are you talking about? What's so unlucky about this? Even if it's bad luck, it can be suppressed with Chief Chang Yong here. Your house has not been lived in for more than ten years. It has been in tatters for a long time. How can it be lived in!"

Deng Yunsheng continued, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, your old house is indeed uninhabitable. I have a lot of houses over there, so you can move in with me."

Other clansmen also spoke up and invited Deng Changyong and his family to live in their homes.

In rural areas, normally, it is a bit taboo to encounter a patient who may die at any time. If it is a member of other tribes who comes back, the tribesmen will not be so generous as to invite them to live in their homes.

But Deng Changyong is already a leader, so the situation is completely different. The tribesmen also want to improve the relationship between the two sides, so naturally they don’t mind that little bit of bad luck.

Seeing that the clansmen were sincerely inviting him, Deng Changyong thought for a moment and asked, "Fifth Uncle, I want to ask, how are my Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt doing?"

In terms of blood relationship in the clan now, the closest one is naturally the fourth uncle's family. The fourth uncle and Deng Changyong's father are cousins ​​of the same grandfather. The relationship between him and other uncles is one generation apart. Although the relationship between mother and fourth aunt seemed to be not very good before, more than ten years have passed, and the mother does not have much time left, so any grudges should be put behind them.

Therefore, if possible, their family should live in their fourth uncle's house so that others will not gossip.

Deng Yunqian sighed, "Your fourth uncle passed away three years ago, and your fourth aunt passed away last year."

Hearing this, Deng Changyong was stunned for a moment, then looked at his mother.

Chang Yong's mother was also stunned when she heard this, and then sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect them to leave faster than me. If I had come back earlier, I could have met your fourth aunt."

Since the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt were gone, Deng Changyong said to the fifth uncle: "Fifth uncle, I'll trouble you."

Deng Yunqian said: "We are all family, if there is any trouble, let's go home first!"

Deng Changyong responded, then greeted the other clan members one by one, and then he and his family packed up their luggage and went home with his fifth uncle.

Deng Yunqian’s villa was only two or three hundred meters away from the brigade. Soon Deng Changyong and his family followed his fifth uncle to his villa.

Looking at this villa from a distance, one can only know that it is beautiful, but it is hard to say how beautiful it is. Now that we have actually entered the villa and seen the decoration inside the villa, as well as the weeping willows, strange rocks, and flowers on both sides of the river, the overall look is so beautiful that Deng Changyong and his family are amazed.

Even though Deng Changyong and his family have lived in Beijing for many years and are accustomed to its prosperity, they are still shocked by the villa complex in their hometown.

He Jinfeng looked at this beautiful scene and secretly said to her husband, "Husband, your clan is really rich. Didn't the elders of the clan say that our family is also a member of the clan? We can talk to the clan leader and let our family also invest in Deng's Group. You have to pay attention to this matter!"

Before, she didn’t want to go back to this “remote mountain place”, but since her father-in-law had spoken, she naturally had to go back.

She originally thought that she would be returning to a remote and poor place with only poor relatives at home, but the result was beyond her expectation. Not only were these relatives not poor, but they were all extremely wealthy. They all lived in beautiful villas and lived better than them.

The reason why the tribesmen can live such a good life is because they all own shares in the Deng Group.

Therefore, she became completely devoted to the Deng Group.

"Well, I'll talk to Dad about this later."

Deng Sigui was obviously also attracted by the Deng Group in the clan. Although he had a father who was a leader, his law-abiding father never sought personal gain and his help to him was actually very limited. He was just a small official in a public institution.

Although his family's economic conditions are good, anyone in the clan now has a better economic condition than his family. It is hard for him not to be tempted by the Deng Group, which has changed the fate of everyone in the clan.

…

The news that Deng Changyong became the leader and returned from the capital with his family quickly spread throughout the Deng family in Naye.

The tribesmen who knew the news all exclaimed in amazement.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many members of the clan went out to serve in the army, but their ranks in the army were not high, and the highest they could reach was the regiment level. However, everyone knows that Deng Changyong was a deputy division commander more than ten years ago.

When everyone sits together and talks about the important figures in the clan, Deputy Division Chief Deng Changyong is often mentioned.

Therefore, although Deng Changyong is no longer in his hometown, his legend has always been there.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and Deng Changyong has been promoted to a higher level and become a true leader. Such explosive news naturally caused a huge sensation in the clan.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

So not long after Deng Changyong's family returned home with his fifth uncle and settled down, prominent members of the clan, such as Deng Changbao, Deng Changxiong, Deng Yungui, and Deng Shi'an, all came over to say hello and invited Deng Changyong's family to their homes for dinner.

There were also clansmen from the original Laowu Village who came to invite Deng Changyong and his family to have dinner at their home.

The enthusiasm of the tribesmen made Chang Yong's mother, who had been away from her hometown for more than ten years, very happy.

She had never enjoyed such treatment when she was at home before.

…

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Deng Changyong's family received news that the clan leader had rushed back from Nanning.

The clan leader is the elder of the Shi generation and a great contributor who led the entire clan to prosperity. Now he has rushed back from Nanning just for him, which is already a great honor for him. Deng Changyong naturally would not be so arrogant as to ask the clan leader to come to see him in person, but he took his family to meet the clan leader as soon as possible.

Soon, Deng Changyong and his family, led by his fifth uncle, arrived at the villa of the clan leader.

Seeing the clan leader sitting at the door of the villa smoking, Chang Yong's mother was the first to greet him, "Uncle Jiu!"

Deng Changyong followed up with a greeting: "Jiu Gong!"

Deng Shirong put the cigarette holder aside, stood up and asked, "Yun Hai's family, Yun Lin has called me and told me, are you feeling well now?"

Chang Yong's mother said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Jiu. My health is not good now. I will have to go down to accompany my son Yun Hai in the next ten days or so."

Deng Shirong comforted her, "Birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of nature. No one can avoid them. It's just a matter of time. You should be more open-minded."

Chang Yong's mother smiled and said, "Being able to return to my hometown and say goodbye to everyone before leaving, my wish has come true and I have no regrets." Although she said this, her smile still seemed a little forced. There are not many people in this world who can truly take life and death lightly.

Deng Shirong nodded, but did not say much about this matter. Instead, he looked at Deng Changyong and praised him, "Changyong, I heard that you are already a genuine leader. You are really great. Our Naye Deng family will be proud of you."

Deng Changyong said with shame: "Jiu Gong, I don't deserve your words. I haven't made any contribution to the clan in these years. I am really ashamed!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's good that you have this intention. After all, the army has its own rules, and it's far away in the capital, so it's normal that you can't take care of the clan."

Deng Changyong felt much more comfortable after hearing this, and introduced with a smile: "Jiu Gong, this is my son Deng Sigui, and my daughter-in-law He Jinfeng."

"Nine ancestors."

Mr. and Mrs. Deng Sigui greeted them quickly.

Deng Shirong nodded at them, then made a casual compliment and invited them in for tea.

At this time, Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang, Deng Changbao and others also came over, and everyone sat together drinking tea and chatting.

Seeing that it was getting late, Deng Shirong said, "You guys chat first. I'll go get some snacks. You can all eat at my place later."

Deng Yungui smiled and said, "Okay, it's a rare opportunity to taste Uncle Jiu's cooking, so I won't be polite."

Deng Yunqiang, Deng Changbao and others who had good relations with the clan leaders were not shy and agreed.

Seeing this, Deng Changyong had no choice but to agree.

…

Two hours later.

Deng Shirong cooked several dishes, all of which were generous in portion and tasted delicious. Everyone who had eaten them said they were good.

After three rounds of drinking, Deng Yunqian finally spoke: "Uncle Jiu, when you took the lead in establishing the passenger transport company and the food company, you failed to contact Ayong, so he missed the most important development of the tribe. Now that his family is back, do you think you should hold a tribe meeting and discuss with the tribe members to give Ayong and his family a chance to invest in the group?"

Deng Changyong shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu, this is inappropriate."

Liu Fang and her son and daughter-in-law were secretly anxious when they heard this. They had been back for quite some time and had a pretty good understanding of the Deng Group. They knew that the clan members could get so much dividends every year. They were very envious and wished they could become a part of it.

Now, they see an opportunity to acquire shares in the group, but their husband (father) pushes them away, so of course they are anxious.

Deng Yunqian said: "What's inappropriate about this? You are also a member of the tribe, and the only leader of the tribe. I believe that the tribe members are willing to let you invest."

Deng Yungui was speechless after listening to this. This guy Yunqian really has no tact. This kind of thing should be dealt with when Chang Yong and the others are not around. Everyone should discuss it with the clan leader first to see if it can be done. If it can be done, everyone will be happy. If not, just pretend it never happened.

But now that this question has been raised in front of Chang Yong's family, no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they can only choose to agree. After all, Chang Yong's family's investment in the group will have a very small impact on their interests, which can even be ignored.

If we refuse this matter in person, we will offend Chang Yong's family. He is a serious leader and no one wants to be enemies with him.

Deng Changyong said: "Fifth Uncle, I know you mean well, but I have not made any contribution to the clan, I feel unworthy of this share of the clan!"

Deng Yunqian said, "Ayong, don't refuse. There are so many people in the clan, and everyone has a share. Not everyone has made contributions to the clan."

Deng Changyong shook his head and said, "It's different. When we raised funds to start the company, we built it up bit by bit. Now that I'm investing, it's like picking up something that's already there. It's definitely not the same!"

Hearing their father's repeated refusal, Deng Sigui and He Jinfeng were so anxious that they wished they could make the decision for their father and get him to agree.

Seeing Deng Changyong refuse several times, Deng Shirong nodded secretly in his heart. This nephew is indeed a good person, but it is a pity that his children and grandchildren lack a sense of belonging to the family. If his family is allowed to invest in the group now, it can be said that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

"As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. Although it has no impact on us now to let Chang Yong invest in the group, it is indeed not appropriate in the long run."

Deng Shirong said very bluntly: "After all, our Naye Deng family has a history of hundreds of years. The clan members who moved to other places to develop are strictly speaking also members of our Naye Deng family.

If we don't set up the rules, what if these people who moved out come back to recognize their ancestors and want to join our Deng Group? Wouldn't that be a mess?"

Deng Yunqian was stunned when these words came out.

Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang and others nodded secretly. Uncle Jiu's concern was very reasonable. If the news of Chang Yong's investment spread, it would be a real mess if other clan members really wanted to move back to recognize their ancestral roots.

"Jiu Gong is right. If I buy shares at this time, I will be completely breaking the rules. It will really be harmful rather than beneficial to the clan." This is what Deng Changyong really thinks. As the only leader of the clan, he feels ashamed for not being able to make any contribution to the clan. If he is asked to enjoy the benefits brought by the development of the clan, he will not be able to get over it.

But his son and daughter-in-law did not have the same ambition as him. When they heard this, they showed very disappointed expressions on their faces.

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It is indeed not appropriate to invest in the group at this time, but Chang Yong, as a member of the clan and the only leader of the clan, you are naturally eligible to enjoy the benefits brought by the development of the entire clan.

I plan to assign you, Chang Yong, to the group of aunts, and the annual dividend amount will be ten times that of the aunts. This will not break the rules, and will allow you, Chang Yong, to enjoy the benefits of the clan. What do you think?"

Deng Yungui was the first to agree, "Uncle Jiu's idea is very good. The number of aunts is not fixed. As long as the girls in the clan get married, they can receive this benefit. So adding Chang Yong and treating him as a special case is totally fine."

Deng Yunqiang also nodded and said, "Uncle Jiu has thought it through very carefully. I also think it is feasible."

Deng Yunqian said sincerely, "Uncle Jiu is really far-sighted. I also agree with this approach."

Deng Changbao, Deng Changxiong and others naturally had no objection. For the current Deng Group, that small expenditure was a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.

Deng Sigui and his wife looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. This was truly a silver lining!

Deng Changyong quickly declined, saying, "Jiu Gong, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept this money."

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "Chang Yong, don't refuse. If you feel bad about it, just bring your children and grandchildren back to worship your ancestors more often."
