Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 27 [027] A new look

"That's all I know. I've already shown off."

Xu Jinhuan did not explain seriously and just glossed over it.

He pointed out the problems before the rain, on the one hand to help Xie Wanqing ease the atmosphere, on the other hand to take the opportunity to further strengthen Xie Wanqing's negative impression of Ding Wenjie, and he had no intention of showing off.

Chen Xingzhu is not here, so there is no point in showing off.

After finishing his meal, Xu Jinhuan did not leave immediately. Xie's father brought some tea leaves and asked Xu Jinhuan, "I don't understand this either. Can you tell me what kind of tea this is?"

"It must be the best Mingqian Longjing. Not to mention that Ding Wenjie is giving it as a gift to his uncle, even if Mingqian Longjing is a little more expensive, it's no big deal if his uncle buys it for himself."

After a brief encounter, Xu Jinhuan had already gained a certain understanding of Xie Zhanpeng's personality and knew that he cared a lot about reputation. "Besides, it's just after Qingming Festival, and we're over a thousand miles away from West Lake. The tea that Ding Wenjie sent a few days ago was probably the first crop picked today, and it's always the most expensive and best."

Xie Zhanpeng found this quite pleasing to the ear and said with a smile, "Then I'd be heartbroken if I bought it, but I wouldn't be able to drink it."

"How do you drink this tea?"

Xie Wanqing asked Xu Jinhuan curiously, "My dad also bought a whole set of tea sets, but he never uses them."

"Green tea can be brewed in a glass, especially Longjing. Each person has a glass and puts some tea leaves in each. You can put the tea leaves in first or pour the water first."

Xu Jinhuan said this without any hesitation. He accompanied Xie Wanqing to wash a few glasses. He came back to get some tea leaves and put some in each cup. He smiled and said, "You can't use hot water for green tea. It's better to let it cool down a little."

Xie Wanqing asked, "Do you like drinking tea?"

"I've never seen him drink tea."

Xie Zhiqiang suspected that Xu Jinhuan was deliberately showing off in front of his sister, and said, "At most, he drinks Uni-President Green Tea..."

Xu Jinhuan didn't explain. He drank two cups of tea, then continued to surf the Internet and retested the game before saying goodbye and going home.

He is actually seventeen years old this year, but his ID card shows that he is one year older and has reached adulthood, so he can register a developer account independently.

After today's contact, Xie Zhanpeng and Tao Menghua were obviously much more enthusiastic towards him. Before leaving, they even gave him a box of tea, saying that they would give it to his parents to try.

Xu Jinhuan did not refuse. After thanking him repeatedly, he left with the tea.

"Learn from others. You still need to go to school. You haven't learned anything..."

After closing the door, Xie Zhanpeng couldn't help but lecture his son, "Look at how others talk and act. You are a million miles behind them."

Tao Menghua said, "At this stage, the main focus should be on studying. This child's mind is too complicated."

"That's the scorer."

Xie Zhanpeng sat down on the sofa and said, "I really misjudged him. I used to think that Xu Jinhuan had no family background and no achievements, and that it was a waste of time for Xiaoqiang to hang out with him all day. But after watching today, I see that Xu Jinhuan actually has some skills."

Neither Xie Zhanpeng nor Tao Menghua had a good impression of their son's good friend, and didn't like their son hanging out with him. Only today did their views change a little.

"Dad, you think so highly of Xu Jinhuan?"

Xie Wanqing had often heard her parents complain about her younger brother, saying that he was not only unmotivated but also had a hard time finding friends. It was rare for her to hear her father praise Xu Jinhuan. She picked up the kettle, smiled, and added hot water to her father's cup, deliberately saying, "He just knows a little about tea."

"Most high school students either focus on studying or just play around like your brother."

Xie Zhanpeng took a sip of tea and continued, "How old is Xu Jinhuan? He's already thinking about the internet and factory direct sales, and he actually made a game..." "Although his idea is naive and it's just a small game that doesn't make money, you can see he has the intention... People like this, even if their academic performance is not good, will definitely have no trouble finding a job in the future."

He acted like a man of great authority: "Don't look down on the trivial matter of tea. When dealing with people, you have to have something to talk about. When you really talk about it, there's a difference between understanding and not understanding."

Xie Wanqing was inexplicably happy to hear her father praising Xu Jinhuan like this. After all, she had contributed to Xu Jinhuan making the game. She said to Xie Zhiqiang, "Don't you like playing games? You can learn from Xu Jinhuan when you have time. Maybe you can make games yourself in the future..."

Tao Menghua said angrily, "What kind of game are you playing? Why don't you let your brother learn something good?"

Xie Wanqing said, "Gaming companies can also make money."

"That's a big company. How can someone like Xu Jinhuan make any money?"

Tao Menghua was still a little skeptical. "If Xu Jinhuan had a family background like Xiao Ding, then it wouldn't matter. His parents are incompetent, and he doesn't know how to study hard. What future can he have?"

Xie Wanqing was already unhappy when she heard her mother mention Ding Wenjie again, and she became even more unhappy when she saw her use Ding Wenjie to belittle Xu Jinhuan.

However, she was gentle in nature. Although she acted spoiled and willful towards her parents, she would not refute or argue. So she made an excuse and went back to her room to get clothes and take a shower.

As soon as Xie Wanqing left, Xie Zhiqiang quickly became the target of a lecture. He was no longer as good-tempered as his sister in front of his parents. He muttered a few words and returned to his room in a huff.

Xie Zhiqiang was quite happy that his parents had changed their impression of Xu Jinhuan. At least he wouldn't be nagged to "stay away from that Xu Jinhuan" anymore. But at the same time, he felt even more confused.

"I never realized Xu Jinhuan knew so much before? How did he suddenly become so awesome..."

Xie Zhiqiang originally positioned his relationship as the boss and Xu Jinhuan as his younger brother, but ever since Xiao Yuanxi confessed her love, he found that he was increasingly unable to maintain his position as the boss.

"We need to find a way..."

He sat in front of the computer, thinking secretly.
-
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Xu Jinhuan returned home with his computer and placed a box of tea on the table. "Someone gave Xie Zhiqiang's father a few boxes of good tea. His parents asked me to bring you a box to try."

"I don't drink tea."

Both parents were a little surprised. Xu Haiguang asked in surprise, "What tea do you want to give me?"

"You should have heard of Longjing. It's quite expensive."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "One ounce of tea costs over a thousand yuan. This box contains two ounces, so a conservative estimate would be two thousand yuan."

"What kind of tea is so expensive?"

My parents were a little surprised and quickly picked up the box and took a look. "It's more valuable than gold!"

"Gold is still more valuable."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "West Lake Longjing, and it's the best batch picked before Qingming Festival... Well, the best is a bit exaggerated. It's really the best. Even now, one or two catties of it costs more than two or three thousand yuan, but it must be very good."

Song Xiaohui said angrily, "Two or three thousand yuan a box isn't good enough? It's almost as much as your father and I earn in a month."

In 2012, the average salary for working outside was around 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, but Suicheng is just a small fourth-tier city, and the average salary was still just over 1,000 yuan.

Xu Haiguang does manual labor and earns less than 2,000 yuan a month. The fact that such a small box of tea would cost two or three thousand yuan is beyond their imagination.
