Chapter 97 Returning Home
After persuading Lin Dongzhi, Lin Ban called Huang Xiu, a capable man in the village, on the spot and entrusted him to host 50 banquets tomorrow.
"50 tables? Isn't it too wasteful?" Huang Xiu knew that Lin Ban had made a fortune and didn't care about this little banquet money, but there were only 109 villagers in Qinglong Village, both old and young. Now at home, there are only about 500 people.
"It's rare for our Lin family to have a drink. It doesn't matter if it's wasted at all. You can also feed pigs if you can't finish the food." Lin Ban told me with a smile, "Brother Huang, thank you for your hard work. Remember, the banquet is placed next to the ancestral hall in the village, which is wide and can be placed. In addition, you must make the dishes as good as possible without saving me money.
After negotiating the banquet, Lin Ban's family went straight to the Sunshine Home Appliances Supermarket, bought a 50-inch LCD color TV, and bought a washing machine, refrigerator, air conditioner and other household appliances, so that the boss would send a car to his home later.
After, Lin Ban went to another supermarket to buy some things such as candy, melon seeds, peanuts, cigarettes, tea, alcohol, firecrackers, etc., and filled several large cartons for guests. After all, after returning to the village, many people in the village will come to congratulate. If the family is still the same as before, there is nothing to entertain, and it will be sorry for the guests.
"Hey, you don't bargain?" Seeing that Lin Ban spent money like water and didn't even talk about the price, Lin Dongzhi was a little anxious.
"Dad, there is no need to bargain for these little things. They are all small money." Lin Ban smiled bitterly.
A few days ago, Li Lexue remitted more than 100 million yuan to Lin Ban to sell jade. After buying diamonds, there were still 16 million left, plus more than 8 million yuan brought back from Yunnan. Now Lin Ban still has more than 24 million yuan on hand. It can be said that he is rich and naturally doesn't blink when spending money.
The reason why the upstarts seem to be full of copper smell is mostly because they used to be poor and afraid, but now when they have money, they always feel that they should shake up and be worthy of the hardships they have suffered before.
Although Lin Ban has always been thrifty, now money comes too easily and his mentality has long changed, so he is too lazy to bargain for these small things. After a while, he finished these trivial things, then rented a van, carried the boxes of food into the car, and went straight to Qinglong Village.
After returning to Qinglong Village, Lin Ban's family was grandly watched by the villagers. The villagers who kept coming to congratulate him came to Lin's house. Later, they couldn't sit in the living room. In addition, the workers in the home appliance mall were installing TV sets and so on. Lin Ban had to set up two tables in the yard, put snacks, tea, tobacco and alcohol to entertain these guests.
Now, Lin Ban is already a famous celebrity in Feisha County and a legendary rich man. Although the news on TV had been broadcast for a long time and spread among the villagers, he did not see him with his own eyes. Hearing him confirm it himself, the villagers felt that this matter was still too mysterious - the boy said a month ago that he didn't want to take the college entrance examination and borrowed a sum of money to grow watermelon on Qinglong Mountain. Why did he suddenly shake himself? Changed, became the top student in the provincial liberal arts, and suddenly became the richest man in Qinglong Village?
The villagers are equally curious about the Winter Solstice. Although I had seen the news of Lin Dongzhi's recovery on TV, I was surprised to see Lin Dongzhi, who had been paralyzed for ten years, walking vigorously again.
As for Lin Min, she has now changed from an ugly duckling to a swan, which has also amaze the villagers, even saying that a beautiful flower has come out of Qinglong Village. Those teenagers who used to be indifferent to Lin Min regretted it at this time and squeezed out of the crowd desperately to talk to Lin Min, making Lin Min tired of dealing with it, crying and laughing.
Because of the poverty of the family, the paralysis of Lin Dongzhi, and Lin Min's yin and yang face, the three members of the Lin family have been extremely low-key for the past ten years - to say it well, it is low-key, and it is to be a person with a curved spine and a tail between the tail.
Now, all the haze has dissipated, and they have finally straightened their spines, straightened their chests and backs to accept the eyes of the whole village.
Money can strengthen people's courage, and health can strengthen people's courage. At this moment, the Lin family felt that they had enough confidence that they had never had before!
Among them, the biggest change is Lin Dongzhi. In the past, he had been paralyzed in bed, and there was always an inexplicable sadness, indignation and unfairness in his heart, as well as a strange sense of inferiority. The villagers came to see him and talked to him, but he always felt that others were sympathizing with him and pitying him, which made his old man very uncomfortable, and even often tried to commit suicide.
And now, his son is promising and rich, and his paralysis has been magically cured. He has finally regained a good mentality. At this moment, his waist was straight, and his red face was full of cold noise and laughing with those old friends. His voice was particularly confident and loud, which was like a bell, completely different from the past.
This made Lin Ban sigh with emotion - the familiar adoptive father when he was a child finally came back today and came back to life! This is the dead wood and spring again...
And Lin Min's change is also very obvious. In the past, she had a yin and yang face. Although she was lively in appearance, she was actually quite inferior, so she was always careful when talking to other villagers, always looked at other people's chin and spoke, and rarely looked into other people's eyes. At this moment, she finally has the confidence to stare into other people's eyes and talk, and dare to joke about those young men. She is full of self-confidence and calmness between talking and laughing, which is like being reborn.
As for Lin Ban, as the backbone of the Lin family, he used to owe a lot of debts, and there was a disgraceful history of stealing the family when he was a child. Therefore, when talking to the villagers, he was always used to accompanying three points of care and a seven points of smile, and never dared to show it. Now, he is already a rich man and a fairy, and his temperament has also changed, becoming confident and flamboyant, making the villagers look a little trance - is this still the same Lin Ban in the past? Why haven't you seen each other for half a month, like a completely different person?
And all this change is only because of the arrival of one person - Mu Yun.
If it hadn't been for the adventure that night, without Mu Yun, Lin Dongzhi was still paralyzed in bed, Lin Min still had a yin and yang face, and Lin Ban was still guarding his watermelon field, thinking about how to make money to pay off debts...
Thinking of this, Lin Ban felt that Mu Yun, a real meritorious minister, should come out to accept the worship of the villagers. So he ran into the bedroom and forcibly dragged Mu Yun away, who was watching the masters install air conditioners with great interest: "Mu Yun, don't let the cat be in the house. There are a lot of guests outside. Come out quickly and entertain me.
"Hey, hey... I haven't taken my sunglasses yet!" Mu Yun struggled and said.
"How impolite is it to see guests wearing sunglasses? Forget it." Lin Ban replied with tears and laughter.
After a while, Mu Yun stood in the yard.
Mu Yun, who did not wear sunglasses, showed a beautiful and refined face and temperament, which surprised the villagers. Lin Ban's playmates from childhood to adulthood suddenly were moved and quickly pulled Lin Ban aside and asked about Mu Yun's identity.
"Lin Ban, who is this beautiful woman?" A handsome man named Lin Boxing asked with shining eyes.
"My classmate." Lin Banyun explained lightly.
"Can your classmates go home with you? To be honest, what does it have to do with you? Lin Boxing asked enviously and resentfully.
"It doesn't matter." Lin said helplessly.
"Really? Then I'm going to chase her!" Lin Boxing immediately opened his five fingers, scraped and scraped his hair, and said with great interest.
Get out of here! That's my sister-in-law!" Lin Min quickly squeezed over and explained quietly.
Mu Yun's hearing is sensitive. Although he stood far away, he heard these words. A red glow suddenly appeared on her face. She grabbed a peanut on the table, threw it casually, and accurately hit Lin Min's mouth.
"Alas!" Lin Min touched his mouth and quickly added, "It's the future..."
The red glow on Mu Yun's face was even worse. This time, she grabbed a handful of peanuts...
Lin Min quickly ran away with a delicate smile and hid in the room. Mu Yun chased him in unrelentingly. After a while, Lin Min's laughter and begging for mercy came: "Sister Mu Yun, I don't dare to do it anymore. Please forgive me..."
In the yard, only Lin Ban was left, who was being pestered by his playmates, forcing him to tell how far he and Mu Yun had progressed, or not a virgin...
"Don't say that, let's have a drink." Lin wanted to change the topic without tears, and then moved out a cardboard box, took out a 70-yuan bag of blue hibiscus king, and spread cigarettes to the villagers. After that, he took out a few bottles of Wuliangye and poured them into a row of wine glasses for the villagers to drink.
There are three must-haves for entertaining guests in Qinglong Village: tea, snacks and rice wine, but no one has ever treated ordinary villagers with more than 1,000 yuan a bottle of Wuliangye like Lin Ban. And this kind of soft-packaged blue hibiscus smoke is also a very rare cigarette in Qinglong Village. In the past, only Zhang Eryang would disperse this high-priced cigarette when he came home for the Spring Festival.
So as soon as these cigarettes and alcohol were taken out, it caused a small sensation among the villagers who knew the goods. Some senior drunkards hurriedly gathered around the table, poured peanuts and so on into their mouths one by one, and praised loudly, "Wuliangye, good wine!"
Of course, some villagers who are used to drinking rice wine feel that this kind of high-end liquor is not as good as the rice wine brewed by Widow Zhang's family. However, seeing that Lin Ban can take out this kind of wine to entertain them also makes them very hot.
Lin Ban felt the envious and jealous eyes of the villagers and knew that he was indeed a little flamboyant. However, he just wanted to deliberately show off, earn a face for the Lin family, and also grow a face for his adoptive mother under Jiuquan.
In this way, on the Tomb-sweeping Day, the villagers passing by the grave of their adoptive mother may stop and say enviously, "Yuqing, you have a good son. Although you can't enjoy the happiness, the Lin family is prosperous, and it's worth it in your life!"
Lin Ban thought, if the adoptive mother had a spirit in heaven, she would laugh happily when she could hear these words...
At the thought of this, Lin Ban's eyes were a little moist, and the wine was also advised to be extra diligent. After a while, those bottles of Wuliangye came to the bottom.
You must be famous, and you must be drunk!

(I received a temporary notice yesterday that I will go to Guangzhou thousands of miles away for a four-day work meeting next week, plus the round trip, it will take five to six days. However, I'm very busy at work during this period. I don't have time to code words, and I've run out of manuscripts. Cups... There will be a homepage recommendation next week. In order to ensure next week's update, today and the weekend will be updated one by day for the time being. On the weekend, I tried my best to keep a few words and try to ensure that I could continue to update twice a day next week, but in case there is no second update at 8 p.m., it means that there is only one update on this day. Lao Hu will come back on Sunday, and he will resume two times a day next week. After all, coding is a part-time job, and the job is important, so please forgive me...
There are still a few chapters left in the first volume, and the second volume is more magnificent. Please look forward to it.
In addition, thank you for the rewards of "I really want to lose my memory", "Xiucai Kills Pig", "Su Men" and other brothers, and thank Cao Yu's Zhang Tui.
