Chapter 326

Li Li Zhongfa led Pei Pei Wencong and the others out of the terminal, while Li Ye and Li Li Dayong lagged behind, each miserably dragging two suitcases.

Pei Pei Wencong's group only had four people, but brought six suitcases.

Two small ones were dragged by Li Xia Yue and Pei Pei Wenhui walking in front, leaving the four super-large and super-heavy ones for the brothers.

Although there were wheels under the boxes, there was no belt for dragging, and they were not as easy to use as the one Liu Liu Muhan used more than a year ago.

【Should I get the suitcase with a pull rod out first?】

Li Ye remembered that the prototype of the modern suitcase with a pull rod appeared in 1987.

By 1991, an airline pilot named Adele Fendi improved a new type of box and registered a patent, taking a new name, roboard.

But very unfortunately, this guy forgot to renew the fee at the Patent Office in 1995, leading to the expiration of the patent.

Although things with low technical content like suitcases with pull rods cannot avoid being copied, whoever wants to make it a brand, especially a high-end brand, cannot bypass the patent.

Li Ye was pondering about the suitcase with a pull rod, and Li Li Dayong beside him also seemed to deliberately slow down his pace. When he saw Li Xia Yue and Pei Pei Wenhui were a bit far away, he suddenly asked Li Ye excitedly in a low voice.

"Brother, how was the showing off I just did?"

"Ah?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment and said casually, "It was okay! Barely acceptable."

"."

Li Ye was telling the truth. Just now, Li Li Dayong only passively enjoyed Pei Pei Wenhui's gentleness and didn't say anything to Lin Lin Zisheng and Chen Chen Juming.

And Pei Pei Wenhui was very reserved, gentle and very proper, not even embarrassed to hug, so it couldn't be called "enthusiastic."

If it were like the girls decades later, running over with a big jump and hanging on the boyfriend, climbing the tree like a little monkey and gnawing twice, and then Li Li Dayong being sarcastic and insinuating, that would be a full-score show-off.

But this was the early 1980s. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough. If it went wrong, it would become indecent.

But Li Ye said it so lightly, and Li Li Dayong, who was full of expectations, was a bit speechless.

"Brother, is this just barely acceptable? I... I was almost dying of excitement!"

"Excited?"

Li Ye only then noticed the brilliance in Li Li Dayong's eyes and asked with a smile, "You're dying of excitement just from this? This is just the beginning!"

"Isn't this exciting enough? Didn't you see the look in their eyes just now?"

Li Li Dayong didn't hide anything from Li Ye and said directly, "They didn't have a good attitude toward me before. Lin... Lin Lin Qiuyan always felt that I wasn't outstanding enough, and they had a lot to do with it. But looking at just now... anyway, I feel like I've finally let out a breath."

"It's right to let out the breath," Li Ye said with a smile. "Let the past unhappiness pass. Good days are still ahead! In the future, when you see your ex-girlfriend, you should feel 'thank you for not marrying me that day'."

"Hmm, no need for that day, I have this feeling now."

"."

Li Ye actually didn't deliberately let Li Li Dayong show off, but he could guess that Li Li Dayong had been holding his breath in his heart.

Li Li Dayong was only twenty-one years old. Expecting him to be broad-minded and open-minded like those old guys was really too difficult for him, so it was better to let out the anger in his heart early, so as not to affect his mental health.

A gentleman taking revenge ten years later is the inspiration for big figures. A gentleman taking revenge from morning to night is the normal reaction of young people.

Li Ye and Li Xia Yue drove and carried Pei Pei Wencong and the others back to Qingshui County.

When they arrived at Li Ye's doorstep, Pei Pei Wencong said to Li Li Zhongfa with great emotion, "I've known Mr. Li for so long, and only today have I been able to visit. I am truly ashamed, truly ashamed."

Li Li Zhongfa said with a smile, "What is there to be ashamed of? I'm just afraid the conditions at home are simple and will make Mr. Pei laugh."

"No, no," Pei Pei Wencong hurriedly said, "When I was a child, I squeezed into a leaky and drafty rented house with my mother and sister. That was simple!"

"I've long heard from Li Ye that Mr. Pei started from scratch. It is truly admirable. Please, please come in."

"Okay, okay. Old sir, don't be so polite. According to the seniority and etiquette, I am still your junior!"

"Hahaha, you can't say that. Everyone should just talk about their own. Otherwise, we won't be able to drink well later."

"Then it must be me toasting Old Mr. Li. You must not be too polite..."

Pei Pei Wencong, while exchanging greetings with Li Li Zhongfa, got out of the car and entered the Li family.

After entering the door, Wu Wu Juying led Li Kaijian's family to express their welcome to Pei Pei Wencong.

Pei Pei Wencong felt that except for Wu Wu Juying's natural performance, everyone else was a bit reserved, especially the two little girls, who were obviously very nervous.

"Sigh~"

Pei Pei Wencong sighed secretly, because he felt a trace of estrangement.

At this time, Li Ye walked behind the two younger sisters and pushed them, saying with a smile, "What are you two still stunned for? Hurry up and pay New Year's greetings to this Boss Pei. How can one red envelope be enough? At least two."

Then Li Ye pointed to Pei Pei Wenhui, "Look, there is also this Sister Liu Xiaohui, pay her a New Year's greeting too, and ask for a lucky bonus."

"."

The Li family all looked at Li Ye in surprise, and the eyes of Wu Wu Juying and Li Kaijian were unkind.

This is an overseas friend! And you are asking for money to his face? Isn't it shameful? Are you very short of money?

And Li Juan and Li Ying opened their mouths and looked at Li Ye, the meaning clearly being, "Brother, don't pit us. No one in the family can beat you, but we two can't do it! Our mother really hits!"

But the two little girls were infinitely obedient to their brother Li Ye. Under Li Ye's encouragement, they could only timidly take the red envelope and learn the etiquette Li Ye taught them, saying "Congratulations on getting rich, bring the lucky bonus."

Pei Pei Wencong said very happily, "Yes, yes. New Year, new lucky bonus. Great luck and great profit, good things come in pairs, pairs and pairs."

He was really very happy.

Pei Pei Wencong used to interact with Li Ye, always having a sense of being "unstoppable" and dominated.

Although later, because he followed Li Ye and almost "made a fortune lying down," he now liked the feeling of being dominated by Li Ye, but he always felt that the relationship between the two had fallen into an awkward situation of "friends not like friends."

After enjoying the feeling of "being brought to fly," Pei Pei Wencong naturally wanted to keep this relationship for a long time, so he also hoped to take the relationship with Li Ye a step further.

Later, with Pei Pei Wenhui's relationship with Li Li Dayong, this awkwardness was resolved a bit, and now Li Ye's attitude made him feel signs of developing into a "family friendship."

That was the result Pei Pei Wencong hoped for!

The two younger sisters, Li Juan and Li Ying, were in a daze, taking six red envelopes from Pei Pei Wencong in a row, plus the two red envelopes given by Pei Pei Wenhui, feeling that the thick ones in their hands were a bit unreal.

When have they ever held such thick money?

The little sister Li Ying reacted the fastest. Seeing Li Ye and the Pei sisters enter the main room, she took the red envelope and lowered her head to slip out of the door.

But as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard door, she felt her collar tighten, and her mother's voice rang out coldly behind her head.

"Where are you trying to hide this?"

"No, Mother, Sister said there are gifts in the car, I'm going to help move things..."

"If you talk back again, hand over the money you hid before."

"I don't have any money left! You took it all last time..."

Li Ying grinned with a bitter face, obediently turned around, and held all the red envelopes above her head with tears in her eyes.

After Han Han Chunmei took it, she was not soft-hearted at all toward the pitiful little daughter.

Daring to hide money privately, it's not bad that she didn't beat her.

But when Han Han Chunmei left, Li Ying slowly smiled.

With a flip of her small hand, two yellow Hong Kong dollar bills fell into her fair little hand.

"Eh? What kind of money is this? 1000?"

"Really, even if I could draw another red envelope, it would be good!"

The number of red envelopes was counted, but the money inside was not counted. Li Ying would rather be beaten a few times, but she must pluck a feather from the goose as it passes.

If you have the ability, let my mother go and count with the Pei siblings.

Li Ying was sorry and happy here, but Li Kaijian and his wife were in trouble.

Because after the sixteen red envelopes were opened, the total amount was really astonishing.

Han Han Chunmei said with a worried face, "How can we return this gift? We can't just return this money to them, right?"

In the mainland, if someone gives your child New Year's money, as an elder, you should return the same amount of New Year's money to them.

But Li Kaijian and his wife opened the red envelopes and counted, red and yellow, there were actually tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. What should they do?

If the Pei siblings gave RMB, it would be easy to handle. Just add two more and return them as they were. But they gave Hong Kong dollars. It would be too obvious to return them like this!

"I'll call Xiao Ye over to discuss it."

Li Kaijian had no way either, but if he had a way, he wouldn't ask his son for help.

Besides the New Year's money, Pei Pei Wencong also brought a box of gifts, and everyone in the Li family had a share.

The Li family didn't have the habit of taking advantage of others for nothing.

When Li Ye came over and heard, he said, "I originally prepared a gift for Li Dayong and Pei Pei Wenhui. You can give it to them later."

Han Han Chunmei immediately handed the stack of Hong Kong dollars to Li Ye and said apologetically, "It's really a loss for you, Xiao Ye. You take this money and save it. It's useless at home."

Li Ye waved his hand and refused, "This money belongs to the sisters. You can just save it for them."

Han Han Chunmei wanted to insist again, but Li Ye had already gone out.

When he came back again, there were two small rosewood boxes in his hands.

"This is a pair of jade pendants that Old Song helped me find in the capital. It's just right for Li Dayong and Liu Xiaohui."

Li Kaijian picked up the jade pendants and rubbed them, feeling the unique moistness. Even if he didn't understand jade and antiques, he knew they were good things.

"Xiao Ye, how much did you buy these jade pendants for?"

"A thousand or eight hundred yuan!"

"What? You weren't pitted by that guy Old Song, were you? These two things are a thousand or eight hundred yuan?"

Li Kaijian was really shocked. After all, a thousand yuan in 1984 was not a small amount of money. He didn't quite believe it.

Li Ye smiled and said, "You think a thousand or eight hundred yuan is expensive here, but it's not this price in Hong Kong!"

Things like jade are not like porcelain or broken furniture. The possibility of picking up leaks is much smaller.

Because the jade culture of the flower family has a long history, many people know its preciousness. You want to spend ten or eight yuan to buy someone's treasure?

Better wash up and sleep! Unless they are at the end of their rope, they won't sell it at all.

Sure enough, when Li Kaijian gave this pair of jade pendants to Pei Pei Wenhui and Li Li Dayong, Pei Pei Wencong thanked them repeatedly, and the joy on his face was as thick as it couldn't be melted.

Whether it's worth money or not is another matter. They attach great importance to their siblings. This is better than any amount of money, and no amount of money can change it.

And Li Li Dayong also secretly pulled Li Ye out and said embarrassedly, "Brother, shouldn't you give this kind of pair of things to Wen Wen Leyu? Now giving it to me... is it not good!"

【Brother, you say this, I have to tell you if I have something better!】

Li Ye straightened his face, "This is a gift from my father to Liu Xiaohui. You are just a tag-along. You don't want it? If you don't want it, return it to me, but then the pair will be broken."

"No, no, no, I was just saying, just saying."

Li Li Dayong hurriedly held the jade pendant tightly, fearing that something unlucky would happen during the New Year.
