Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Hao Jianjun rode his bike to the town and met two acquaintances on the road. They greeted each other.

"Jianjun, your son is on the honor roll, congratulations."

"Thank you. Come to my house on July 6th for the graduation banquet. I won't send out invitations." Hao Jianjun replied politely. He would naturally invite as many people as possible.

The other party is not from this village, but I am afraid that even if I send an invitation, they may not come, which would be embarrassing.

"We'll see if he's home by then. Maybe he's out working."

"Ok."

When Hao Jianjun heard this answer, he knew that the other party probably wouldn't come.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the crossroads in the town. There was a bulletin board on the roadside, and dozens of spectators gathered there. They were watching the honor roll of those who had passed the imperial examinations.

What was posted was a list of universities where students from the Second High School were admitted to undergraduate programs, and Hao Qiang’s name was prominently on the list.

Hao Qiang: Zhongda University, Electronic Science and Technology (657 points, first in the province in Chinese, full marks for composition, awarded 2 yuan)

Han Qingying, Hua Nan University of Science and Technology, Computer Science (640 points, rewarded 1 yuan)

Huang Ming: Major, Mechanical Engineering and Automation (579 points, reward of 5,000 yuan)

……

This honor roll is also posted in other towns. Some people are not very clear about the value of these universities, but they know to compare the college entrance examination scores and awards.

Twenty thousand yuan really made the onlookers envious, and they curiously asked which village Hao Qiang was from and who his parents were.

"He's from Hualong Village, and his father is Hao Jianjun, also known as Hao Chuiniu!" an enthusiastic citizen answered.

As Hao Jianjun walked over, he heard someone saying bad things about him. He squeezed into the crowd and shouted in dissatisfaction:

"Who said I was bragging? My son got into CUHK. I, Hao Jianjun, didn't brag. If you have the guts, brag too!"

When he called out like that, people who didn't know him immediately knew that he was Hao Qiang's father. They talked about it in private and their envy was evident in their words.

"Oh, this is the father of the kid who got into Zhongda University. He's quite tall. I never thought he would raise a key university student."

"The reward is 20,000 yuan. The child has a bright future."

Hao Jianjun felt much more comfortable listening to the praise from the people around him. He took out cigarettes and distributed them to the people around him, regardless of whether he knew them or not. After a while, he had given away all the cigarettes he had.

The people who got the cigarettes praised Hao Jianjun and asked him how he raised such an outstanding child.

Hao Jianjun remained calm and cheerfully recounted the story: "My son has been very well-behaved since he was born. He never made a fuss or cried. When he was five or six years old, he liked to read newspapers and Chinese dictionaries. He has a strong ability to learn independently, so he writes well.

As parents, we can't do much to help our children with their education. We can only try our best to provide them with a good learning environment and learning materials, even if it's just a Chinese dictionary that costs a few dollars.

My family is having a graduation party on the sixth day of the seventh lunar month. If you guys are free, please come over and have a drink."

"What a good idea! The house is full of books. My grandson is only two years old. I think I should buy a Chinese dictionary to study." Some people actually believed it and felt that what Hao Jianjun said made sense.

Some people are skeptical, but they also plan to buy a Chinese dictionary for their children. It only costs a few dollars anyway, and maybe a key university student will be raised in the family.

Hao Jianjun stayed in front of the honor roll for more than half an hour. When he felt it was enough, he left with satisfaction. He went to the vegetable market to buy a fish and then rode his bike home happily.

After returning home, he happily told his wife and son about his success in the college entrance examination.

Hao Jianjun smiled broadly and patted his son on the shoulder: "Son, I told you that you loved newspapers and Chinese dictionaries when you were little, so you wrote good essays. When others ask you about it, you know what to say, right?"

"Dad, your ability to talk nonsense is beyond my reach!

Haha, I still remember when I was in third grade, I asked you to pay for a Chinese dictionary, but you hesitated for a long time and didn't want to pay.

Hao Qiang was secretly glad that he didn't go to see it, otherwise he would be looked at like a monkey, and he would feel shy no matter how thick-skinned he was.

Hao Jianjun was too embarrassed to bring up the Chinese dictionary and changed the subject: "What nonsense! You actually loved reading newspapers when you were a kid. If you don't believe me, ask your mom. This is called being influenced by what you hear and see."

When Hao Qiang heard his father say the idiom incorrectly, he didn't correct him. He was lucky enough that he could remember it.

Liu Fengqing thought for a moment, "That seems to be the case."

Upon hearing this, Hao Qiang couldn't help but roll his eyes at his father and said, "I don't believe you at all!"

However, when others asked him about this, he still admitted it honestly, as long as his father was happy.

Alas, I boasted so much that my son has no choice but to help me smooth things over.

After a few days,

The rice fields are golden, the rice ears are heavy, and they sparkle in the sunlight, which is particularly dazzling.

Wu Hai, wearing shorts and a T-shirt, rode an electric scooter and came to Hao Qiang's house excitedly, saying that his admission letter had arrived.

He applied to Yuecheng College of Stomatology and Technology, and his major was dentistry, which Hao Qiang recommended.

The moment he saw Hao Qiang, he was slightly surprised: "Damn, Qiangzi, you've become more handsome!"

Hao Qiang touched his face and asked knowingly, "Oh, really? How did you become more handsome?"

"The skin on your face has become smooth and delicate, and the shape of your face seems to have changed a bit. Anyway, there are quite a lot of changes. What skin care products do you use? Or do you go to a beauty salon?" Wu Hai touched his dark face and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

In the past, he felt that his advantage over Hao Qiang was his face.

He was tanned, but at least his face wasn't covered in pimples like Hao Qiang's.

Damn, now that this bastard has grown handsome, wouldn’t it be easier for him to pick up girls?

"I don't have any skin care products. I just wash my face with soap, go to bed early and get up early, eat less greasy food, and, uh, think less about women."

"Stop thinking about women and keep bragging." Wu Hai twitched the corner of his mouth and asked with a chuckle, "Qiangzi, tell me the truth. Did you go to the beauty salon and have a woman give you a massage? Were those women's hands very tender?"

Hao Qiang sneered: "You want to experience it? When we get to Yuecheng, I'll take you to a foot massage parlor to experience it. I guarantee you'll feel like you're floating in the air."

"Tsk, you sound like you've been there." Wu Hai mentioned this and suddenly felt a little excited. "Hey, I wonder if there are many girls in my field?"

"You insist on looking for a professional. You don't even know how to find a nurse, and you still have the nerve to say you want to be a sea king."

"If I were as tall and thick-skinned as you, Aquaman would be a piece of cake." Wu Hai felt a little inferior when he thought about his height of 165cm and his dark face.

"You're being disingenuous. It's as if you don't have a thick skin. Besides, I don't rely on my looks to pick up girls. I rely on my personality and talent."

The two of them sat on the doorstep, chatting and bragging while eating melon seeds.

Wu Hai stayed at Hao Qiang's house for nearly an hour, but did not eat. He rode his electric bike home and would come back when Hao Qiang's family held a graduation banquet.

As soon as Wu Hai left, Liu Fengqing came out of the middle hall and warned Hao Qiang: "Son, don't learn bad things when you go to Yuecheng. Go to beauty salons. The women there are sick."

"Mom, I was just joking with my classmates." Hao Qiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. His bragging was accidentally heard by his mother.

"Humph, who knew you would become so arrogant after arriving in the city?" Liu Fengqing said solemnly, his tone suddenly changing. "Of course, if you have the ability to bring back a few female classmates to be your wives and have more sons, I would be happy to do that."

"Mom, your feudal ideas are unacceptable. I need to talk to Dad about it."

Liu Fengqing couldn't help but scold: "You little bastard, I'm doing this for your own good!"

In the following days, Hao Qiang stayed at home typing. He was busy with the rice at home and finished harvesting it in less than two days. The threshed rice was poured on the roof to dry.

All Hao Qiang needs to pay attention to is that if it rains during the day, he will have to help harvest the rice quickly.

During this season, Guangxi Province has frequent thunderstorms and the weather is changeable. The sky suddenly gets dark and it starts to rain heavily in less than a few minutes. If you are slow, the millet will be dried in vain.

If the wet millet is cloudy for the next few days, it will sprout.

Hao Jianjun was busy visiting relatives and friends, sending out invitations, and preparing for a graduation banquet.

Time flies, and it is August 20th in a blink of an eye. The next day is the day of the graduation banquet.

In the afternoon, Hao Qiang's family yard was cleaned up and the open space in front of the door was leveled, ready for setting up tables and banquets.

That afternoon, a fat pig was slaughtered. The scene was very lively and many aunts and sisters helped to wash the dishes.

At noon the next day, guests came to congratulate one after another, and Hao Qiang and his father greeted them outside the door.

Hao Qiang called a few classmates who lived close to home to come over, just enough to fill a table.

There were not many people at his father's banquet, mainly because he didn't know many of them. Most of the people who came were from the same village and relatives and friends. There was also a table of people who were Hao Qiang's junior high school teachers.

There were nearly two hundred guests in total, and twenty-two tables were arranged.

The locals hold banquets at home that include lunch and dinner. The meat dishes are mainly chicken, duck, fish and meat, which are all local specialties. On average, a table does not cost much.

However, the contribution is not much.

During lunch, Hao Qiang picked up his wine glass and accompanied his parents to thank the guests at each table for attending the banquet.

"Oh, I didn't expect Hao Qiang to have grown up so much. He used to hold you in his arms when you were little. I guess he doesn't even remember his aunt anymore."

"How could I not remember? My aunt is still so young and beautiful." Hao Qiang forced a smile, sweating profusely.

He hasn't seen some relatives for many years and he really can't remember them.

Fortunately, he has a good memory now, and he basically remembered it after his parents mentioned it once.

"Wow, this kid is so sweet and smart, no wonder his grades are so good."

After dealing with the relatives at this table, his parents took him to greet and toast with other relatives.

"Xiao Qiang, this is the red envelope your cousin gave you. I wish you a bright future. When you achieve success, don't forget me, an old man."

Hao Qiang smoked a cigarette and took the red envelope with a smile on his face: "Thank you, uncle. It's hard for me to forget you. I asked you for a lot of New Year's red envelopes when I was a child."

After visiting these relatives, Hao Qiang personally went to the table of his junior high school teacher to go through the motions.

“Dear teachers, I am very grateful for your hard work and guidance. You laid a solid foundation for me so that I could be admitted to university.

Once a teacher, always a teacher. I will never forget your care and teachings to my students. This glass of wine is first of all a toast to you teachers, and also to all the teachers who silently dedicate themselves to their teaching posts."

Hao Qiang's affectionate words made the teachers present feel very relieved.

He drank it all, then filled his own glass and continued:

"This is a toast to thank all the teachers for coming to the banquet. I also wish you good health and happiness for your families. When my students are successful in their careers, I will visit you again to chat with you."

The nine teachers present could not believe that Hao Qiang was so good at speaking. He first expressed gratitude for the old favor, and then reminded people to never forget their teachers' kindness in the future. Even though it was just words spoken in a drinking situation, they had to admire his high emotional intelligence.

With outstanding IQ and understanding of the ways of the world, his future is definitely bright.

It is a great honor to say that you brought up such a student yourself.

"Hao Qiang, I wish you a bright future," the Chinese teacher said, raising his glass. "I never thought you would be ranked first in the province in Chinese. I'm so proud of you."

Hao Qiang admitted that she had taught Chinese. She told the junior high school students that she had taught a student who topped the Chinese language test in the college entrance examination and scored full marks in composition, which made her feel very proud and also a part of her own honor.

"Hao Qiang is not only good at studying, but also has high emotional intelligence. He will definitely have a bright future!" another teacher also echoed.

Hao Qiang exchanged pleasantries with each teacher before walking down to the next table to interact with them.

The dinner started around five o'clock in the afternoon.

It was not until after six o'clock in the evening that the banquet slowly came to an end and the guests left one after another.

The aunts who came to help began to clear the table, wash the dishes and clean up the scene.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Hao Qiang's parents finally finished their busy work and were counting the gift money and checking the favor book in the bedroom.

After the final calculation, I received yuan.

If calculated per person, most guests give 50 yuan, the more generous ones give 100 yuan, and the closer ones give 200 to 300 yuan.

Uncle Hao Da gave one thousand directly, and grandmother's family gave eight hundred.

We set up 22 tables and had two meals, and the cost was less than 8,000 yuan.

After Hao Qiang's parents roughly did the math, they felt like they had earned several thousand dollars, and their faces were filled with joy, with smiles on their faces.

More importantly, he could feel the pride and honor his parents felt for his achievements.

Hao Qiang looked at his parents' happy expressions. He wondered what their expressions would be if they knew that he could earn several thousand yuan a day.

Surprise or shock?

Recently, Hao Qiang has been using the computer to type and can get a reward of about 7,000 yuan a day.

Apart from taking a day or two to help with farm work and research hot pot soup base recipes, he devoted almost all his energy to typing work.

In just 25 days, he earned about 15 yuan.

His personal wealth also reached 35 yuan!

I have half a house in a first-tier city!

35 yuan is enough capital for my own business.

Hao Qiang understood that once school started, he would not be able to concentrate on typing as much as he did now, and his income from typing would definitely be greatly reduced.

No matter what, it still makes him feel a greater sense of accomplishment.

What he didn't expect was that there was an even bigger surprise waiting for him.

While resting at night, Hao Qiang suddenly received a golden finger prompt.

[Hint: Get admitted to a 985 university, free attribute points +5]

After reading the message, Hao Qiang smiled from the bottom of his heart and suddenly let out a cry of joy.

"Hoo ho ho!"

“Five o’clock!”

"I finally got it!"

He worked so hard to prepare for the college entrance examination, the most important thing was not these few free attribute points.

Awesome!

Before, he thought that the money would not arrive until school started.

Hao Qiang looked at the remaining 6 free attribute points, and after careful consideration, he increased his appearance by 2 points and his physique by 1 point.

In this way, the appearance is improved to 14 and the physical fitness is improved to 12.

Suddenly, he felt a warm current flowing through his face and body, which lasted for a few minutes and then ended.

He knew that change was a continuous process.

Time passed quickly again,

On the morning of August 30th, it was finally time for Hao Qiang to register at the university.

Hao Qiang's parents sent their son to the village entrance. After waiting for a few minutes, the car arrived and Liu Fengqing quickly waved.

After the car stopped, Hao Qiang got in and said goodbye to his parents.

Only when the car slowly drove away and disappeared from their sight did they leave reluctantly.

"Oh, this kid is not at home again!" Hao Jianjun sighed softly.

"He won't be back until winter break. I asked you to take him to school, but you weren't proactive at all. You were just fiddling with your phone the whole time."

"Hey, wife, I want to go, but my son won't let me. Just say I can go alone."

"I'm still worried about him being alone." Liu Fengqing was a little worried.

"Don't worry, our son is very independent. He has already been to the provincial capital twice. Going to Yuecheng is nothing. He didn't bring any luggage, so it was easy for him."

In the car, Hao Qiang took out a pen and paper and began to write English from memory. He placed his laptop next to him, as valuables must be carried with him.

This time when he went to report to school, he only brought a computer bag and a luggage backpack, which contained his summer clothes. He traveled light and prepared to embrace a new life.

The school will provide bedding, and you just need to buy daily necessities when you arrive at school.

If you have money in hand, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters.

A few dozen minutes later, Hao Qiang arrived at the county bus station and bought two bus tickets to Yuecheng, which was still five or six hours away from departure.

I bought a few pounds of fruit and took a taxi to Han Qingying's house.

I haven't seen her for many days. I wonder what her expression would be when she sees the changes in me.
