Hans was introduced to the public as Li Du's classmate. He was slightly older, but Li Du explained that he had started his postgraduate studies after working, which made sense.
As for Godzilla and Big Quinn, Li Du said that they were colleagues at work and that they were interested in Chinese culture, so he had brought them over to experience it.
Mr. and Mrs. Li welcomed them warmly into the house, poured them tea and prepared snacks such as candies and melon seeds. They were very happy.
Godzilla and Big Quinn went to unload the truck. Li Du came back with a lot of health supplements and gifts. They were almost caught smuggling when they passed through customs.
The village road had become a highway, and there were people and cars passing by. Seeing the huge Godzilla and Big Quinn, the passersby looked at them respectfully.
After packing, Li Du asked them to sit down.
Godzilla and Big Quinn sat on the bench, which could only accommodate four ordinary people, and filled it to the brim.
Mr. Li said, "You should have said earlier that you would have such friends. I would have prepared big chairs and sofas for you. Now that we have money, it's time to buy good furniture."
In the past year, Li Du had transferred a lot of money to his family, which was more than a million dollars.
Mrs. Li said, "Yes, we have to prepare more dishes. You guys sit down, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Will your classmates and colleagues get used to Chinese food?"
Li Du said, "Yes, no problem."
Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "What are you going to do? Give Fourth Brother a call and order some dishes to be sent over. Let him choose what he is good at. We don't lack money. "
While drinking tea and waiting for the dishes to arrive, Li Du and his parents started chatting.
He asked, "Why did the village renovate the houses like this? What do you mean? "
Mr. Li rubbed his hands and said, "Aren't the villagers waiting for the demolition? Houses don't cost much money to be demolished. Adding a floor gives more compensation. "
Li Du suddenly understood and said, "Is this reliable? I see many places outside are building buildings. We have really become a village in the city. Why didn't the developers develop the town? "
Mr. Li sighed and said, "Previously, they wanted to develop here, but there were people in the town who wanted a lot of money. The developers felt that the compensation was too much. Later, the county changed its development policy and started to move south. Our development in the north was put on hold. "
Li Du's mother said, "But it's not a big deal. It's certain that we will have to renovate and demolish this place. Otherwise, we can't expand the county to the north. At that time, we can get a lot of money and houses."
Li Du nodded and said, "That's good. Don't worry too much about the demolition. Anyway, we don't lack money now."
The restaurant in the county was very efficient. Dishes were delivered one after another.
Li Du's father introduced that there were foreigners in his family, so the hotel prepared a few simple Western dishes, such as fried steak with black pepper sauce, fried cod, fried lamb chops, seafood soup, and so on.
Li Du's father had prepared a sumptuous meal, probably because he wanted to save his son's face. There were more than ten dishes, close to twenty dishes, and the large dining table was a little too big to fit them all.
However, there was no need to worry about not being able to finish it. Godzilla had just arrived in a new environment, so he was very restrained at first. He ate the food bit by bit and drank the wine bit by bit.
At the end of the meal, there was still a lot of food left on the table. Li Du waved his hand and said, "Godzilla, eat as much as you can. You have to be full no matter what."
The burly Mexican man went all out, using a combination of forks and spoons. He chewed the food in big mouthfuls and wiped the plate clean.
Li Du's father was stunned. Then he said to Li Du, "This colleague of yours is lucky. He was born in a foreign country in an era when there was no food crisis. If he had been born during the three-year disaster, people like him would have starved to death."
An ordinary person would not be able to feed Godzilla. He could be considered an orphan. His parents had abandoned him when he was young because he had a huge appetite.
Later, a basketball coach saw that he had a good physique and brought him home. He took care of his food and lodging and trained him, hoping that he could train him to become an NBA star.
In the end, Godzilla did not have much talent in basketball tactics, but he did not hold back when it came to eating and drinking. The basketball coach was scared of him and eventually kicked him out.
Godzilla also knew that he had a big appetite. He was probably afraid of leaving a bad impression on Li Du's parents. The next day, after breakfast, he saw that the two of them were packing up their tools to go to work. He said, "Do you need help?"
Li Du's parents could not understand him. Li Du translated and asked, "What work are you going to do? I'll go with you. "
Li Du's mother shook her head and said, "It's nothing. You can accompany your colleagues and classmates around the county. There's nothing fun in our county. You can go to the provincial capital to play."
Li Du said, "We can play later. There's no need now. Dad, what are you going to do?"
Li Du's father took a puff of his cigarette and said, "The land at home has been requisitioned by the county. We want to grow some vegetables to earn some pocket money."
Li Du stopped the three-wheeled tractor and frowned. "No need to go. I'm doing well now. It's not a problem to earn one or two million a year. My tutor thinks highly of me. You guys rest."
Li Du said, "It's not that. Your mother and I are in our fifties. Do you think we're idle every day? It's easy to get sick from being idle, you know? We're just growing some vegetables. It's nothing. "
Li Du said helplessly, "Isn't growing vegetables tiring? You don't lack money. Why are you growing vegetables? "
Li Du's father was very stubborn. "You haven't suffered. What's so tiring about growing vegetables? We can eat it ourselves even if we don't sell it. It's clean and delicious. "
Li Du sighed. "I can't win against you. Alright, I'll go with you."
Li Du immediately refused. "What are you going to do? You … "
"If you don't let me go, you guys don't go either," Li Du insisted.
Li Du's mother said, "Then I'll go find you some old clothes. You can go if you want. Anyway, it's not tiring. Just treat it as exercise."
Li Du went to work. Godzilla and Big Quinn would definitely have to follow. Leaving Hans alone would be boring, so he also decided to go and help.
Li Du's parents rode their three-wheeled tractor with Hans in front. Li Du borrowed a neighbor's three-wheeled tractor and followed behind with Godzilla and Big Quinn.
In the morning, many people took advantage of the warm weather to go to work. When they reached the fields, the people around them stopped working and gathered around to watch the fun.
The fields were four miles away from the county, which was quite far. Li Du said unhappily, "Why didn't the government compensate us with money for a piece of land that's so far away?"
Li Du's father snorted. "How much do they have to compensate? It's better to compensate for the land. They don't have to spend a cent. "
The fields had just been allocated this year. Li Du's parents planned to take advantage of the winter to cultivate the land so that they could directly plant vegetables in the spring.
Li Du asked, "Why don't you use the rotary tiller?"
Li Du's father said helplessly, "Our land is too short. The machine won't work, so we can't plant crops. We have to plant vegetables."
Li Du nodded. He turned around and said, "Guys, get ready to start."
Hans whined, "Li, I've been cheated by you, you b * stard! Pay for my sunshine and beautiful women! Pay for my warm holidays! "
