Chen Dong said, "Mayor Wu, and everyone, now, it's almost 12 o'clock, it's time for dinner, I invite you to my house for dinner." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Okay."

The group came to Chen Dong's home.

Chen Dong's home is an old two-story house, and there is a new house with only one floor next to it.

There is a cement paved open space in front of the old house, when the rice is harvested, the grain will be dried in this open space, soybeans, flower beans will be dried in the open space when the beans are harvested, peanuts, basically every household in the countryside has a cement open space in front of the door, there is a pond of about one acre in front of the vacant land, in the pond raised fish, raised more than a dozen ducks, a few geese, the goose is the domestic animal of the house, more fierce than the dog.

In the cement open space, 6 tables of banquets were set up, and the dishes were very rich.

Stir-fried beef with peas, beef stew with radish, blood duck, roast goose, straw tied meat, a spinach broth.

Chen Dong, Chen's father, uncle, Fried, Kakra, Mayor Wu, Song Baiqing, and a deputy county magistrate in the county sat at a table.

Opened a bottle of wine and Moutai.

Chen Dong poured everyone a glass of wine first. The red wine is poured into the glass, like a red silk sliding on it, exuding a mellow aroma that penetrates the heart.

"At the beginning of this year, I bought seven 1978 Montachers from Château Conti Rome for $167,900 at auction, and now there is the last bottle. After speaking, Chen Dong raised his wine glass and said, "Come, let's have a toast together." ”

"Cheers."

Everyone had a toast.

......

A meal, the guests and the host are happy.

After eating.

Mayor Wu and his entourage left Bailu Village, although they did not get the promise of Chen Dong's investment, but Mayor Wu gained a lot of money.

Chen Dong and Chen's father each moved a bamboo chair and sat in the corner.

In front of the vegetable garden, at this time, it is already late autumn, the vegetables in the vegetable garden have withered yellow, the pumpkin vine is only a withered vine, only a loofah is left on the ridge, the cucumber vine shelf, the dry and hard land is full of fallen leaves, the leaves of the peach tree have withered yellow, and there are still a few hairy peaches hanging sporadically.

A few stinky orange trees, also hung with stinky oranges, stinky oranges are very sour, the scoop has a bitter taste, no one eats them, I remember when I was a child, in the spring of the next year, I can still see stinky oranges hanging on the stinky orange trees.

Some people in the village have a cold and a bad cough, so they will come to the stinky orange tree to pick a few stinky oranges and go back, and put the belt meat in a stew pot with rock sugar for 30 minutes.

Dad Chen said, "When are you going to go back to the United States?" ”

Chen Dong said, "Let's spend the New Year at home." ”

Chen's father said, "I heard Mayor Wu say, you are an overseas Chinese, what's the matter." ”

Chen Dong said, "After I left China, I went to Africa, and after joining the Foreign Legion of Country F, I have given up my Chinese nationality, and now I have a U.S. green card, the nationality of the Manua Islands, which is recognized in the United States, China, and more than 20 countries around the world." ”

"Joining the Foreign Legion of Country F in Africa, isn't that a very war-like war?" Dad Chen said.

"Yes, it is mainly fought with the anti-government forces and militant forces of African countries." "I left Africa in 2001 and went to the United States. Speaking of this, the voice paused, and continued, "The main reason for my return this time is to go back to my hometown and visit my parents, and then, I want to bring my grandparents and you to live in the United States, and after working all your life, now it is your turn to enjoy happiness." ”

Chen's father was a little moved, but said with some hesitation, "I'm afraid that I am not used to living in the United States, I am not familiar with life, my Mandarin is not standard, and Americans speak English, and I can't understand it." ”

"I have a big farm and a big ranch in the United States, and when I am free, you can ride horses, fish, graze, hunt, and sail on a yacht, and the rich people in the United States enjoy life like this." Chen Dong said.

"Okay." Dad Chen nodded, "I'll discuss it with your mother, your mother must be very happy, always say that marry me, almost half of your life is almost over, just nest in Bailu Village, never go out to see the outside world, I sometimes want to take your mother to Yanjing for a tour, as for your grandparents, I don't know if you want to go, after all, you are old, your health is not good, you don't want to go outside to suffer, plus your homeland is difficult to leave." ”

Chen Dong said, "Dad, this is not called suffering, this is enjoyment, now the transportation is so convenient, from Hongcheng to Shenzhen by plane, in Shenzhen to the United States, it only takes less than a day, moreover, the United States medical conditions are so good, by the way, check the body, in addition to the younger brother in high school, next year will be the college entrance examination, big brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, little nephew, little nephew, the whole family goes."

Tomorrow, I will let the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the younger sister come back from Shenzhen, and they can't quit their jobs, hundreds of yuan, and their wages will be lost.

Next year, the younger sister will definitely go back to study and take the university entrance examination again, the eldest brother, the eldest sister is only 23 or 24 years old, and if she wants to continue to study and take the university entrance examination, she can also go to the United States, I will buy them a house and run a family business.

In the past, the whole family was bitter enough, a piece of clothing, changed back and forth, the eldest brother changed it to let me wear it after wearing it, I wore it after the younger brother and sister wore it, and during the New Year, there was no new clothes to wear, I was developed, and there was no reason for the whole family to continue to suffer. ”

Dad Chen nodded and said, "Let's forget it, just follow you and enjoy the blessings."

Your eldest brother, eldest sister, younger brother, little sister will be handed over to you, you must have a bowl of water, your eldest sister and little sister are your own sisters, your own sisters, you can't let them find me to complain about their grievances in the future, I think you have given a lot to the eldest brother, the younger brother has given them a lot, and given them very little, family harmony is the most important thing. ”

"Got it, Dad." Chen Dong said, "There are a few more things, I want to set up the Egret Village Education Fund, do not register, only accept my donations every year, the village children from primary school, middle school to university tuition are paid by the Egret Village Education Fund, every year to reward outstanding students in the village, this matter is done by Dad and Uncle, in the future, the villagers will remember your kindness." ”

Dad Chen nodded.

Education is the only way out for children, and everyone in the village knows this truth, and some parents are stupid and ignorant, which makes people angry, and there is a lack of labor force at home. What can a half-sized boy do!? At the end of the child, some parents have no money and have no choice, but I believe that every parent is good for their children.

Dad Chen said with some worry, "Will it cost a lot of money?" ”

Chen Dong said, "It's only a few hundred thousand yuan a year, and my daily income is dozens of times that of hundreds of thousands." ”

......

Chen Dong talked a lot with Chen's father.
