Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

The train station was about ten kilometers away. Hao Qiang drove slowly for about twenty minutes before finally arriving at the rental complex and getting off the car with his luggage.

After getting off the bus, Hao Qiang's parents' eyes were shining with curiosity and surprise, as if they were in a whole new world.

In the community, the lush green vegetation, clean and tidy sidewalks, and uniquely designed buildings all demonstrate the sophistication and elegance of urban life.

After entering the elevator, the couple looked at the enclosed space and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Son, this elevator is so fast!"

It was the first time for Liu Fengqing and her husband to ride in this kind of elevator. They felt very novel and excited.

After a while, the elevator arrived at the 18th floor.

Liu Fengqing could see people walking around on the ground floor of the residential complex through the ventilation holes in the corridor. She felt a little dizzy and didn't dare to look down. She patted her chest to take a deep breath, then said:

"It's too high! How can I live so high up? Looking down makes me dizzy."

"Oh, honey, the 18th floor is not that high. I saw many buildings taller than this on the road just now." Seeing his wife making a fuss, Hao Jianjun pretended to be calm.

Liu Fengqing muttered, "This isn't high enough. If there's a strong wind at night, how will I sleep?"

Hao Qiang found it quite funny to see his parents walking into the Grand View Garden like Granny Liu, and couldn't help laughing:

"Mom, the 18th floor isn't that high. There are many buildings over 50 stories high in China."

After he opened the rented room, he was too lazy to change into slippers and walked directly into the house, saving his parents the trouble of changing shoes.

My parents also followed me into the house, looked around, and took in the interior decoration and furniture.

"This decoration is quite nice. This is the first time I've seen a house. How much does it cost to rent it for a month?"

"About two thousand." Hao Qiang answered truthfully, not afraid of his parents scolding him for being a spendthrift.

Just now, along the way, his parents called him a "spendthrift" many times.

"It's so expensive! Seven or eight tons of sugarcane." Liu Fengqing exclaimed, calculating in his mind how much sugarcane he would have to plant to earn this much money.

"Tsk tsk, your mother and I work hard for a whole year growing sugarcane, and we can only rent it for two months." Hao Jianjun also laughed at himself. If he didn't know that his son was making money, he might have continued to scold his son for being a spendthrift.

But when you think about the fact that you have bought a car worth millions, and that it depreciates by tens of thousands every year, and that maintenance costs a lot of money, a monthly rent of two thousand yuan seems easy to accept.

"Dad, Mom, rinse your mouth and have some breakfast first. I cooked a pot of preserved egg and lean meat porridge." Hao Qiang asked his parents not to pack their luggage first and took out the prepared toiletries for them.

Hao Jianjun nodded and went to wash up first. He felt uncomfortable all over and his mouth was not fresh after sitting on the train all night.

Liu Fengqing stood on the balcony and looked at the scenery in the distance, but did not dare to look down.

I am afraid of heights, but also curious.

After watching for a while, she was not as afraid of heights as before, but she was still worried about strong winds when she was sleeping at night. What if the house shook? Would she be able to sleep?

She had never lived in the city and had no idea about this common sense.

After a while, seeing that her husband had finished washing up, Liu Fengqing also went to rinse her mouth and brush her teeth.

Hao Qiang served steaming hot porridge to his parents.

Locals like to drink porridge, which occupies a very important position in the local area. It is different from the millet porridge cooked by northerners.

The locals have a unique understanding and research on cooking porridge. They use high-quality new rice, which must be washed and soaked in advance. They boil it over high heat and then simmer it over low heat for about one or two hours until it becomes thick.

Anyway, the rice in the porridge is not granular.

The lean meat selected by Hao Qiang cannot be frozen or refrigerated, and it is really fresh. He prepared it early in the morning. The fresh meat was taken from the store. The pig was slaughtered by the pig farmer in the early morning and delivered to the store early in the morning.

While drinking porridge, the parents chatted with their son from time to time, asking him questions.

After drinking the porridge, the parents had a general understanding of their son's situation and knew what he asked them to come over for.

After drinking the porridge, Hao Qiang's parents washed the dishes, took turns taking a bath, and planned to catch up on some sleep.

Although she really wanted to visit her family's hot pot restaurant, she also knew that her son had gotten up early in the morning to prepare porridge for them and must be very tired, so she let her son rest for a while.

After taking a shower and taking a nap for about half an hour, Hao Qiang's parents regained their energy.

In the car, they were looking forward to seeing their son as soon as possible and were very excited.

After seeing their son, they received a lot of shocking information.

In fact, the couple was not in a deep sleep, and everything they saw seemed like a dream.

Hao Qiang lay in bed and rested for a while. He saw that his father had woken up and was standing on the balcony looking at the scenery, while his mother was packing her luggage.

After staying for a while, it was almost half past eleven before he took his parents out of the rented house.

The hot pot restaurant was not far from the residential complex. Hao Qiang did not drive. He gave the spare key to his parents and took them for a walk around the community before leaving.

On the way to the hot pot restaurant, Hao Qiang introduced the surrounding environment as he walked.

The parents saw many people greeting their son and calling him "Boss Hao". At first they were a little surprised. Is their son so famous?

When they arrived at the real world, Hao Qiang brought his parents into the store and more people greeted him.

At this time, the store was almost full and business was booming.

Hao Qiang came to the table for two in the corner, where three people could squeeze in without any problem.

"Boss, what are we having for lunch today?" The store manager saw the boss bringing a middle-aged couple over. They looked very close and he was not very clear.

"As usual, health pot." Hao Qiang pointed at his parents sitting opposite him, "These are my parents. They just came from my hometown."

At the same time, he introduced the store manager to his parents: "Dad, Mom, this is the store manager Yang Qiuhong, she understands Cantonese."

Yang Qiuhong was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the middle-aged couple in front of her were actually the boss's parents.

Judging from his appearance and clothes, with dark and dry skin, he must be a farmer, right?

All along, she and the shop assistants thought that the boss was a rich second-generation and his parents must be big bosses.

"Uncle, aunt, hello, if you need anything in the future, just tell me."

"Hello, hello." Seeing that Yang Qiuhong was very polite, Hao Qiang's parents responded with a polite smile.

Hao Qiang saw that the store was very busy and ordered, "Sister Yang, go ahead and get busy."

"Okay." Yang Qiuhong bowed slightly and then stepped back.

Hao Qiang's parents saw that the business was booming and were looking at the layout of the store. They couldn't imagine that this hot pot restaurant was so big and had such novel decoration.

Liu Fengqing asked curiously, "Son, is it expensive here?"

Hao Qiang replied, "About 40 yuan per person. It depends on how you eat it."

"So expensive!" Liu Fengqing was amazed. "Your father and I cut sugarcane all day, and the money we earn is not enough for a hot pot meal."

"The consumption levels in cities are different, right?" Hao Jianjun was also surprised, thinking that his son was really heartless to set such a high price.

Hao Qiang brought out a menu and asked his parents to order what they liked.

Hao Jianjun took the menu and checked the items with his wife.

Looking at the expensive unit price, they all shook their heads.

But since this is my own restaurant, I can just order whatever I want and not waste any food.

After ordering from the menu, Hao Qiang randomly selected his favorite dishes and handed them to the waiter.

While waiting, Hao Jianjun and the boss looked at the customers in the store. Seeing that they were enjoying their meals so much, they felt proud of their son.

This is a real business, and the money earned is solid.

Hao Jianjun asked his son about the song ringtone and asked him to download the ringtone.

After my son downloaded the song, he listened to the familiar ringtone and asked curiously, "Son, is this a song you wrote?

I heard from Chen Zhen in our village that he also has this ringtone on his phone. No wonder it sounds a bit familiar to me.

Many people in the village now have mobile phones, but most owners are reluctant to spend money on ringback tone services, even if it doesn’t cost much.

It would be funny if Chen Zhen paid for it.

This guy used to show off in front of him all the time, but since his son was admitted to CUHK, he rarely shows off in front of him.
