Chapter 188 Recognition Banquet 2
The young girls and wives in Anjia Village were all envious when they saw the gold jewelry in the hands of Li Xia and Zhang Chunfeng.
The Guoxing and Guoyao families are so lucky to have such good brothers. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the An family's children.
You wouldn’t know until you see it, but the three boys from Yanan have really changed a lot now. Just look at their dress, their conversation and their temperament, they no longer look like the country boys they used to be.
As some families in Anjia Village watched the An Guodong brothers become rich, they secretly began to have some thoughts in their minds.
The Guoxing and other families returned to their seats, and An Feiwan also stood up with a glass of wine and said with a smile.
"I offer a toast to all the elders, uncles, and brothers. Thank you all for bearing witness to our recognition of our brotherhood. I won't say more, everything is in this glass of wine."
An Feiwan raised his head and drank the wine. When the people in Anjia Village saw An Feiwan stand up and speak, some of them couldn't help but ask.
"Guodong, are Guoxing and Guoyao going to leave with you? Is the family factory going to close down?"
The scene was silent and everyone looked at An Feiwan with burning eyes.
An Feiwan was slightly stunned, then he understood what they meant. He smiled and spoke.
"The food factory is the livelihood of our Anjia Village. No matter how unreasonable I, An Guodong, will not destroy everyone's livelihood."
"real?"
Everyone couldn't believe their ears.
"Haha... Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
"I told you, Guodong has been honest and simple since he was a child."
"Yes, I trust Guodong."
After getting An Feiwan's assurance, everyone felt relieved. Looking at the extremely sumptuous dishes on the table, everyone started to eat with great enthusiasm.
"Guoxing, Guoyao. You should know that there are many businesses in my godfather's family that need to be taken care of. Are you interested in living with my godfather?"
The head of the An family looked at the two brothers who were in a good mood and took the opportunity to ask.
An Guoxing and An Guoyao showed surprise on their faces. They had already learned about the existence of the hidden family from their son, so they naturally yearned for it.
They didn't expect that godfather actually planned to take them with him. An Guoxing and An Guoyao nodded eagerly.
"Godfather, we do."
"Hahaha...that's great! Guoxing, Guoyao, you have to think about it carefully. It's okay if you don't want to leave your hometown, but don't force yourself because of me. No matter what, we are a family."
"Look at what godfather said. We are not forced at all. We brothers also want to see the outside world."
An Guoyao smiled and poured a glass of wine for the head of the An family, then continued.
"Now that the children have grown up, they have left us to work hard. We have nothing to do at home, and it is our honor to help the godfather."
"Okay, then you go back and discuss it among yourselves. Don't force it. The two daughters-in-law should also talk to their relatives in their natal families. But it doesn't mean they will never come back. Come back and visit when you miss home."
Mrs. An looked at Li Xia and Zhang Chunfeng who were sitting nearby without saying a word. She was afraid that they would be reluctant to leave their hometown, so she asked them to discuss it with their family before making a decision.
"Godmother, we have the same idea as the child's father."
Seeing Mrs. An talking, Li Xia smiled and answered, and Zhang Chunfeng also echoed her.
"Yes, godmother. You don't have to worry. We are husband and wife."
Both Li Xia and Zhang Chunfeng lost their parents early, otherwise they would not have married into the An family, which had no parents and was notoriously poor.
They were not liked by their brothers and sisters-in-law in their natal families, but after they married into the An family, they felt sympathy for their husbands, so they have always loved each other.
"Haha, that's good! A family must have discussions and arrangements in order to live in harmony."
Mrs. An has always had a good impression of Li Xia and Zhang Chunfeng, saying that they are generous and efficient.
An Guodong poured a glass of wine, stood up, raised his glass to the village chief and said with a smile.
"Brother Changsheng, you have been involved in a lot of things at the factory this year. I toast to you and thank you for your support and help."
"Okay, Guodong, you are too polite. You invested in our Anjia Village and set up a factory. Our Anjia Village has benefited the most. Now, I can stand up straight when I come to the town for meetings. If I want to say thank you, I have to thank you!"
The village chief quickly stood up and had a drink with An Feiwan.
Alas, now Guodong’s family is no longer the poor family that everyone looks down upon. From now on, Anjia Village will still have to rely on these brothers for food.
"Haha, Brother Changsheng, please take a seat! I have something to discuss with you."
After hearing what An Feiwan said, the village chief quickly sat down and leaned closer to An Feiwan.
"Guodong, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will do my best to help you."
"Brother Changsheng, don't be nervous. It's nothing serious. After the Chinese New Year, Guoxing and Guoyao will follow me, so they won't be able to manage the food factory. I want to hand over the food factory to Brother Changsheng and Brother Mingzhang."
The village chief's heart tightened, and he was overwhelmed by great surprise. He looked at An Feiwan in disbelief and even stuttered when he spoke.
"Guo...Guodong. Are you...are you serious?"
"Of course it's true. My father-in-law is a wealthy man and doesn't care about this food factory at all. This food factory is now on the right track. As long as it is well managed, the people of Anjia Village won't have to leave their hometown to make a living."
"Guodong, let me think about it carefully. I will think about it carefully."
The village chief was a little incoherent. He knew that Guodong's parents were not ordinary people, but he didn't expect that they didn't even care about a factory.
"Haha...Brother Changsheng, don't worry. We can discuss the factory matter another day. Just drink as much as you can today."
"Okay, okay, your brother Changsheng has no other hobbies except this. Usually, your sister-in-law keeps a close eye on me. I haven't had a good drink for a long time. Hahaha..."
Everyone in Anjia Village drank wine, ate meat, chatted, and had a lively meal. The Yanan brothers arranged a car to take everyone back to Anjia Village safely.
The village chief returned home in high spirits, with red spots on his dark yellow face, and he was humming an unknown tune.
The village chief's wife rolled her eyes at him, quickly fetched a basin of water, soaked a towel in it and wiped his face, then scolded him in a bad mood.
"Look at you. You can't walk when you see alcohol. You drink all day long. Sooner or later, you'll drink yourself to death."
The village chief took the towel and wiped his face roughly a few times, then laughed out loud.
"Wife, I'm not drunk today. I'm telling you, our family is going to have great luck, hehe..."
The village chief's wife snatched the towel from his hand, threw it into the plate, and kept muttering.
"You said you weren't drunk, but you're talking nonsense. You're the poor village chief of Anjia Village, and you'll never have good luck in your life. Look at Li Xia and Zhang Chunfeng, they have big gold bracelets and chains, we can't even dream of having them in our lifetime. How can they be so lucky? However, the three Guodong brothers have suffered a lot since they were young, and now they can finally enjoy happiness after all the hardship."
