Chapter 30 Banquet
"Brother, you are here, come in and sit down."
An Guodong’s second brother, An Guoxing, lived next door, just a few steps away. An Guoxing's wife is Li Xia, and they have a son and a daughter, An Yanan and An Jing.
An Guodong shook his head: "No, I still have to go to Lao San's house."
An Guoxing was startled: "Brother, what happened?"
They all knew that their eldest sister-in-law's family had come, and it was obvious from the way they were dressed that they were not ordinary people. They were all sensible people and did not go to disturb them. Could it be... An Guoxing was worried.
"Haha, it's okay. Today my father-in-law said that Qingwan has been taken care of by you, so he went to the town to book a banquet to thank you and to recognize you as relatives. All of you should go, and bring the two children with you."
An Guodong was in high spirits when something good happened. After he finished speaking, he hurried to the third brother's house.
The third son, An Guoyao, married a woman named Zhang Chunfeng and had two sons, Yahui and Yadong. An Guodong said the same thing when he came to the third brother's house. After a conversation, An Guodong hurried back home.
"Guoyao, why are you here at this time, brother? What's the matter?"
Zhang Chunfeng heard An Guodong's voice in the room and came out to ask him questions.
"It's okay. My eldest brother said his father-in-law wants to invite us to have a drink."
An Guoyao was a little excited. He was the only one with a quick mind among the three brothers, and it seemed that his eldest brother's in-laws were not simple. If he had the chance, he would also like to try it. However, An Guoyao is not a short-sighted person. He has never thought of getting something for nothing.
"That's great! I've been worried about my eldest brother these past few days. I'm afraid his wife-in-law will take her away."
They all knew that An Guodong brought Lin Qingwan back. Although An Guodong is the eldest son, he is also the last to get married.
In order to give a good impression to Lin Qingwan's family, the two families were busy taking a bath and changing clothes at home.
......
Lin Huaizhi's ability to do things is still very reliable. He booked two tables for banquet at the largest restaurant in town and chartered three cars to return to Anjia Village.
The family got into the car chatting and laughing, and went to An Guoxing's An Guoyao's home to pick up someone.
The two brothers looked at the big tricycle they were pushing, then looked at the car that came to pick them up, and decisively left the tricycle at home. Four cars were lined up in a row and drove towards the town in a mighty manner. The villagers couldn't help but look at them with envy.
"Guodong's family is going to be prosperous."
Someone spoke in the silent crowd.
The group arrived at the hotel, exchanged a few words and sat down. The box was very large. Several elders sat at one table, and the younger ones sat at another table.
The brothers An Guoxing and An Guoyao had never been to such a high-end place to eat before, and they both felt a little restrained. The young people were different; they were all very excited.
An Guodong was busy introducing several people and greeting each other. Mr. Lin raised his wine glass and gestured to An Guoxing and An Guoyao.
"Over the years, thanks to you two for helping to take care of Guodong's family. I, an old man, would like to offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. Please don't be restrained. We are all family. Eat and drink well."
Mr. Lin picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. Everyone hurriedly said they didn't dare to drink the wine in their hands.
After three rounds of drinks, Mr. Lin and his son were both smart people. Under their intentional or unintentional guidance, everyone gradually relaxed. The honest An Guoxing emptied out all his family fortune, and the smarter An Guoyao also spent almost all of it.
An Ran and her group of friends were all young people at the table, and except for Lin Huaizhi, they all grew up together. After eating for a while, Yanan, Yahui and Yadong became brothers with Lin Huaizhi and were ready to become sworn brothers.
The elders at the table couldn't help laughing when they saw how noisy they were. Then four young men came over with wine glasses to toast. The young men were all very sweet-mouthed and made the adults smile from ear to ear. The sisters Anran and Anjing sat next to each other, whispering to each other.
"I think you three guys are pretty good. Are you interested in going to Beijing with me to develop your career?"
Mr. Lin has his own considerations. Besides, Guodong and his brothers are good people, and their children are simple and kind. He doesn't mind giving them a hand.
Yanan and the other two looked at each other, their eyes emitting warm light, and they nodded with joy.
"Yes, we do."
Old Master Lin was not surprised by their choice. There was ambition and desire in the eyes of the young men.
"Hahahaha, okay. But I, an old man, must say something ugly up front. I'll give you the opportunity, but everything depends on your own hard work. There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Do you understand what I mean?
The three of them nodded in unison and returned to their seats excitedly.
"Uncle Lin, if these guys are disobedient, just beat them up. They are all thick-skinned and can't be hurt."
An Guoyao didn't expect this surprise. Although he didn't know what the old man did, the demeanor of his family made him feel extraordinary. And the car driven by the young man may not be visible to others. But he has always liked to study these things, and he could tell at a glance that it was a limited edition Porsche, worth tens of millions.
Although he had no intention of taking advantage of the Lin family, now that Uncle Lin had asked to take care of the children, these children would surely achieve something in the future.
"Hahaha, okay, okay."
Old Master Lin looked at An Guoyao again. Among the three Guodong brothers, he was the most astute one, and his two older brothers all listened to his arrangements. But he has a serious look in his eyes, and he is not the kind of cunning and treacherous person.
"Guoyao, what are your plans?"
"I?"
An Guoyao was a little stunned. What other plans did he have? He just had to try his best to find a job and work hard.
"Yes, children have their own affairs. Don't you have any plans for yourself?"
An Guoyao smiled and said, "I usually find some odd jobs in town and do them with my brothers."
"I have an idea, are you interested in listening to it?"
An Guoyao's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
"Uncle Lin, please speak."
Old Master Lin took a sip of tea and frowned slightly. It was not as delicious as the one made by Ranran.
"I see that your Anjia Village is vast and sparsely populated, and a lot of land is abandoned. But there is a large area of fruit trees in the back mountain, and the fruits on them are all over the ground."
An Guodong continued, "Dad, all the young people have gone out to work. The ones left at home are the elderly and children. The fruits in the back mountain are not valuable, so no one goes to pick them."
"Alas, you have a treasure mountain but don't know how to use it. What a pity."
Old Master Lin smiled again and said, "I plan to invest in setting up a food processing factory here. I will find the technical personnel, and the management and operation will be handed over to you brothers."
"Really?" The three An Guodong brothers were stunned.
"Yes, I will pay, and you three brothers will do the work. The factory shares will be divided into four parts, one for each of our four families."
An Guodong was full of gratitude to his father-in-law. If he had not helped him to support his brothers, there would have been no need for the Lin family to open a factory here.
An Guoyao's eyes were red. "Uncle Lin, our parents passed away early. We have always struggled on our own and suffered so much. I didn't expect that Uncle Lin would take the trouble to plan for us. Thank you!"
The three brothers stood up and bowed to Mr. Lin.
The three brothers were so excited that they immediately discussed the process of setting up a factory with Grandpa Lin and Lin Qingtang at the dining table. After several people discussed enthusiastically for a while, Lin's mother smiled and started talking.
"Okay, let's discuss it when we get back. Don't delay people from getting off work."
Compared with the calm Lin father and son, the three brothers An Guodong seemed too excited.
The group returned to the village and agreed to discuss the matter tomorrow, then went back to their homes.
In the yard of An Guodong's house, everyone sat together drinking tea, and An Ran was surrounded in the middle like a treasure. Looking at the group of people chatting and laughing around An Ran, and then looking at Lin Huaizhi who was sitting alone in a corner like herself, An Ning looked at the sky with melancholy eyes and spoke in a gloomy tone.
"Cousin, I have a feeling."
Lin Huaizhi looked at him curiously and asked casually, "What does it feel like?"
An Ning pretended to be lonely, with sadness in her eyes: "I'm probably not my parents' biological child."
