Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Three days later.

Lin Zhe returned to his hometown of Lincheng.

It's been almost half a year since I last came back.

Lin Zhe was really busy this year.

I'm basically always traveling all over the world. I hardly ever go home, and I don't even spend much time in coastal areas.

Upon getting off the bus, the first thing I did was grab a bite of local snacks from the roadside to tide me over.

Before returning, Lin Zhe deliberately ate nothing, saving his stomach for this meal.

The accent of one's hometown is etched into one's bones, and any homesickness will vanish with a bowl of something only found in one's hometown.

Lin Zhe used to think that everyone was suffering.

Children have to leave their parents, and young people have to leave their hometowns.

It would be great if everyone could choose to go freely, and bring their families along.

But none of these are problems for Lin Zhe now.

If Lin Zhe wants, he can keep a "home" anywhere in the world.

After eating something to fill our stomachs, we went home.

If there's anything wrong with living in a villa, it's that it lacks a bit of "human touch".

When I lived in the forestry community, I would often run into many neighbors on my way home.

Some were people returning from a walk or grocery shopping, others were people who had just finished get off work and were exhausted, and of course, there were also happy people.

When people see each other, they always greet each other with a smile, and if they meet someone they are particularly close to, they will ask a few questions about everyday matters.

Sometimes I find these people annoying, but other times I feel like they're part of the neighborhood.

Now, of course, that treatment is no longer available. Lin Zhe's family bought this land, but there are hardly any neighbors around.

Upon arriving at the front door, the gate opened directly into the underground parking garage.

The house was very lively today, with many relatives coming to visit.

Actually, there's nothing else to it, it's just that Lin Zhe is going home today.

He hadn't been home for so long, so naturally everyone wanted to see him when he returned.

After all, over the years, the Lin family has definitely been led by Lin Zhe's family.

Lin Zhe also provided a lot of help to these relatives, basically helping them whenever he could.

Those in the family who were not well-off in the past now receive full treatment at Zhetong's hospital in Binhai whenever they have any health problems.

Yes, Lin Zhe also repaired the hospital.

After all, with so many employees now, Lin Zhe wanted to do more for them.

With so many employees, it's inevitable that some will develop illnesses or something similar.

Therefore, Zhetong Hospital was established.

Zhetong Hospital is built right next to the headquarters and uses the most advanced equipment. Of course, the doctors are also highly skilled.

Many difficult and complicated diseases can be effectively resolved here.

This includes some chronic diseases, but it is currently only open to Zhetong employees.

Of course, there's also Lin Zhe's family.

In addition, the immediate family members of employees working at Zhetong Hospital can also enjoy the opportunity to receive medical treatment at a low price.

If it involves major surgery outside, it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At Zhetong, it only costs tens of thousands of yuan to get it done.

This is Zhetong: always keeping its employees in mind and working together towards a better life.

This is one of the benefits that Lin Zhe's relatives receive.

In addition, there were others, who were basically all benefited from Lin Zhefu's influence.

Including my uncle.

Although his Hutu Winery can't compare to some of the big domestic wineries, like Moutai and Wuliangye, it's still a far cry from them.

But it is quite famous.

They have already developed a considerable market, at least within their province.

They have carved out a niche for themselves in the low-alcohol beverage market.

Low-alcohol baijiu was not very popular in China originally. After all, if you're going to drink baijiu, it's naturally going to be of higher alcohol content, or at least 43 or 45 degrees.

Or they might drink some red wine, or, like Lin Zhe, enjoy beer for a refreshing experience.

As for low-alcohol baijiu in the 20-30 degree range, there isn't much of a market for it.

But Hutujiu has managed to gain a foothold in this market by relying on its high-quality ingredients and reputation, and has also expanded its market share.

This has made some people who originally did not accept this type of liquor accept it.

……

Although Lin Zhe owns 90% of the shares, 90% of the profits will also be allocated to Lin Zhe.

But my uncle still made a lot of money from his drunken spree.

In the past, he farmed and occasionally did odd jobs in his hometown, earning just enough to make ends meet throughout the year, but he did not slack off in the effort he was required to put in.

Our family has always been in a very ordinary situation.

They weren't exactly poor, but they weren't rich either.

But my uncle just got a new car recently.

Previously, his car was an old Jetta with several extra pages on its registration certificate, having changed hands countless times.

But his car was parked outside, and Lin Zhe saw it when he came in.

A BMW SUV, costing around several hundred thousand.

The uncle thought this was already quite remarkable, but Lin Zhe felt that considering the uncle's income, it was already a bit too modest.

After all, the Hutu Winery can now make 40 to 50 million yuan a year in profit, so my uncle must have several million yuan.

Some of the houses in my hometown have also been rebuilt.

Although it wasn't as luxurious and spacious as Lin Zhe's house, it was still a proper villa in the countryside.

It's not one of those jokingly large concrete yards with two extra floors; it's a proper villa.

He was especially happy to see Lin Zhe return this time.

After all, his nephew had changed his family's life.

He's a simple person; he believes that if someone is kind to him, he should repay them. But Lin Zhe clearly didn't need him to repay anything, so he just remembered it.

……

My grandmother and the others are here today too.

The whole family is here, it's really lively, like it's Chinese New Year.

As soon as Yan Xi entered the door, she was pulled aside to chat about everyday family matters.

Lin Zhe first gave a round of greetings, and then went to the courtyard.

In the words of Lin Zhe's mother, the first thing Lin Zhe does when he gets home is to check on his pond full of fish and turtles.

The weather is getting cooler now.

These guys don't show themselves much.

At home, he was relaxed and casual. He rolled up his trousers, took off his shoes, and stepped inside.

It was still a bit cold. Lin Zhe scooped up a few with his hands and checked their condition; they seemed to be in good shape.

Lin Zhe threw it back in and returned to the room.

With so many people tonight, I'm sure I'll have to cook a huge feast.

Wine is, of course, indispensable.

Lin Zhe had made plans with some of Lin Cheng's friends before he came back, but he was definitely going to spend today with his family.

The reason I came back is that I haven't been back for a long time, so I wanted to spend some time here.

Secondly, there's something important I need to tell my parents, and it's best to say it in person.

The whole family, dozens of people, sat together in a lively atmosphere.

There were quite a few dishes, and every family had women helping out in the kitchen. Today, the cook in the family was taking a break.

We need to eat something home-cooked, and the servants at home are also helping out.

The dishes near Lin Zhe's side were his mother's homemade dishes, his favorites.

This is a real treat!

Old Lin opened the bottle and then made a gesture to raise his glass. (End of Chapter)
