Early in the morning, the two Li Ping brothers went to the hotel to pick up Xu Xiangqian and his family.
They told Xu Xiangqian about their plan to recognize their relatives and symbolically asked for his opinion.
As expected, Xu Xiangqian was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and agreed without even thinking.
And not only him, his wife and two children were also very happy.
The relative status that Li Xu gave to Xu Xiangqian was based on Li Jiakang's side. At the beginning, he asked his family members to memorize the names of Xu's family members, so Li Jiafu's family could not escape.
Now that the recognition ceremony is about to be held, Li Jiafu's family must be present.
Today is the Little New Year and it is Sunday. People who have jobs are resting at home and Li Jiafu's family restaurant is not open. Sun Xiu and his wife think that it is better to hold the ceremony today than to wait for another day.
Li Jiakang called Li Jiafu's entire family to his home, formally introduced them to Xu Xiangqian's family, and then asked both sides to call each other's people.
In fact, even if there is no such thing as recognition of relatives, both parties still need to meet and recognize each other.
Therefore, Xu Xiangqian had already prepared a gift for the meeting.
The gifts he prepared for Li Jiafu's family were quite simple and crude, a big red envelope for each person.
He knew that the situations of Li Jiafu's family and Li Jiakang's family were different. Instead of spending money to buy them gifts that were not in line with their status, it would be more appropriate to give them money directly.
He prepared a big red envelope of 20,000 yuan each for Li Jiafu and Duan Xiaoyun and his wife, 10,000 yuan for Li Qiang and his peers, and 5,000 yuan for the younger generations.
He took out a suitcase and opened it to reveal a box full of money tied up in red cloth. Seeing this, Li Jiafu's family was stunned.
Xu Xiangqian happily asked his children to take out the money and put it on the table, then he and his wife each picked up a large bundle of money and handed it to Li Jiafu and his wife.
Li Jiafu and his wife stood there, motionless, looking dazed.
Seeing this, Li Jiakang said, "Old Second, Xiaoyun, your arms are almost sore from lifting so much."
"Ah, what's sour?" Li Jiafu's subconscious words made Li Jiakang's family laugh and cry.
"Uncle, my arms are getting sore from lifting them." Xu Xiangqian continued.
Li Jiafu finally came to his senses. He widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Xiang Qian, is this the meeting gift you mentioned?"
"That's right, second cousin, please accept it."
"You..."
Li Jiafu had just said two words when he was interrupted by Li Jiakang, "Second brother, take it."
Hearing this, Li Jiafu couldn't help but scream, "Brother, can you accept this money?"
"Yes, I can. To tell you the truth, I called you here today not only to let you two sides recognize each other, but also to ask you to be witnesses. I want to officially recognize Xiang Qian as my cousin."
Li Jiakang’s meaning was very clear: from now on Xu Xiangqian would be a real family member.
Li Jiafu still didn't move. "Brother, even if you recognize Xiang Qian, we can't accept this money."
Li Jiakang knew that he felt the money was too much, so he grinned and said, "Don't worry, take it. Xiang Qian has a big business outside."
Good job.
What you mean is that Xu Xiangqian is very rich.
The Li Jiafu family was so shocked that they couldn't even imagine how much money the person who didn't take the box of money in front of him seriously had.
But they knew that Xu Xiangqian was just a tool. To put it bluntly, his business was the business of the three Li Ping brothers. If he was so rich, how rich should the three Li Ping brothers be?
At this time, Li Ping interrupted and said, "Second Uncle, the situation is different now. After the New Year, many people from our county will probably go to work in the place where we are. By then, we will not be able to hide our business in our hometown.
You also know that when we do business outside, we use the identity of our cousin and tell others that the business is given to us by him. You are also his cousin. He has given our family so many things, but he has given you nothing. It is unreasonable to tell others about this.
So take this money. If someone asks you why you did this, just say that your cousin wanted to ask Xiaoqiang and the others to help run the business, but you thought a stable job was better, so you didn't agree. So your cousin had no choice but to give you some money."
Li Jiafu's mind was still swirling, but Duan Xiaoyun understood. "Xiaoping, are you already well-known in the local area?"
"About the same."
"Hiss~" Li Jiafu and his family couldn't help but take a breath.
In a place, the number of people who are well-known can be counted on one hand.
Let me put it this way, the Jixiang Hotel has been open for nearly two years and is now the largest hotel in Tang County. Everyone in the city knows its name, but few people know the names of its two owners, Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun.
This shows how difficult it is for a person to become well-known in a place.
The Li Jiafu family knew Li Ping very well and knew that what he said was "almost" was equivalent to an admission.
The three Li Ping brothers have been in business for less than three years, and they have achieved this in such a short time. Don’t you think they would be surprised?
It needs to be explained here that although the three Li Ping brothers are not well-known in Tang County, those who want to go out and make a living in the county are all aware of them.
It’s nothing else, it’s just because they are the only three people from Tang County who went out to make a living after the reform and opening up.
Their incident caused quite a stir in Tang County back then.
Now that the reform and opening-up policy has been further confirmed, and Liu Wen is retiring after the New Year, those who want to go out and explore the world may no longer be able to restrain themselves.
As long as any of them goes to Shenzhen, they will definitely hear the names of Li Ping and the other two and recognize them.
