Hans was introduced to others as Li Du's classmate. Although Hans was a little too old, Li Du explained that he had started his postgraduate studies only after working, which was a plausible explanation.

As for Godzilla and Big Quinn, Li Du said that they were his colleagues from work. He claimed to have brought them over for the new year celebration to experience Chinese culture since they were interested in it.

Mr. and Mrs. Li welcomed them into the house very enthusiastically. They poured them tea and water and prepared snacks such as sweets and nuts, which made them very happy.

Godzilla and Big Quinn first went to unload the luggage from the bus. Li Du had brought back a huge pile of health products and gifts. When they had passed through immigration, they were nearly investigated for smuggling.

As the roads in the village had been converted into highways, there was a constant flow of people and vehicles passing by. Seeing the astonishing physiques of Godzilla and Big Quinn, everyone stared at them respectfully.

After the luggage had been unpacked, Li Du told them to take a seat.

Godzilla and Big Quinn sat on the bench chair, which could accommodate four ordinary people, and completely filled up the space on it.

Mr. Li said, ”You should have told me earlier that these kind of friends were coming over. I would have prepared large chairs and sofas for you guys. As there is more money in the household, it's about time we get a set of good furniture.”

Over the course of the last year, Li Du had sent quite a bit of money back home. The money that he had sent back totaled up to millions of dollars.

”Yeah,” Mrs. Li said, ”and I also have to prepare more food. You guys remain seated, I am going to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Are your classmate and colleagues used to eating Chinese food?”

Li Du replied, ”They are used to eating, no issue.”

Mr. Li waved his hand heroically and said, ”Cook what? Give Old Four a call and order some dishes for delivery. Let the experts cook. We are not short of money.”

While drinking tea and waiting for the dishes to arrive, Li Du and his parents began chatting with each other.

Li Du asked, ”Why were the houses in the village rebuilt like this? What's the meaning of this?”

Mr. Li rubbed his hands and said, ”Aren't the villagers waiting for their houses to be demolished? As not much compensation will be given for demolishing the houses, a little more compensation can be earned by adding an extra level.”

Li Du came to a sudden realization. ”Is it reliable? I saw that there are quite a few places outside building houses. Our side is really turning into a village within the city. Why didn't the developer develop the town?”

Mr. Li let out a sigh. ”They initially wanted to develop this area. As there were people in the town asking for a lot of money, the developer felt that they would make too much of a loss. Subsequently, the development plans for the county changed. The developers began developing the south and the development of our area in the north was put aside.”

Mrs. Li said, ”Despite that, there's nothing to worry about. It is guaranteed that our area will be demolished and remodeled, or else, it would not be possible to develop the northern part of the county town. When that time comes, besides receiving quite a bit of money, we will still be able to get a house.”

Li Du nodded. ”That's pretty good. Don't be too concerned with the demolishing since we are not that short of money at the moment.”

The county's hotel, which was very efficient, subsequently delivered the dishes over.

As Mr. Li informed them that there were foreigners in his house, the hotel cooked a few simple Western dishes such as fried beef steak with black pepper sauce, grilled pieces of cod, fried lamb chops, seafood chowder, etc.

Mr. Li had prepared a sumptuous meal as he was most likely trying to make his son feel prideful of his home. With a huge number of dishes—close to 20—the large dining table was nearly unable to accommodate all the food.

Nonetheless, there was no worry that the dishes could not be finished. Having just arrived in a new environment, Godzilla initially showed restraint and ate the food mouthful by mouthful and drank the beer bit by bit.

Toward the end of the dinner, there was still a lot of food left. Li Du waved his hand and said, ”Godzilla, put your back into eating. No matter what, you have to eat until you are full.”

The burly Mexican man went all out. Using the fork and spoon together, he gobbled up the food and cleaned the plates one by one.
