September 1st.
In the last few days before the end of summer vacation, Chen Fan left Ma Xiaoshuai alone in the apartment, bought a bus ticket and went back to Los Angeles alone.
Returning to my familiar hometown in the countryside again, my mother was guarding the entrance to the village early in the morning.
"Mom, didn't I tell you that I could just go back by myself? Why did you have to come out to pick me up?"
Li Jinqiu reached out to take the suitcase from his son and looked around his son.
"Why do you feel you've lost weight? Do you usually don't eat on time?"
"Or are you saying that the living allowance your mother gave you is not enough?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "The living expenses are certainly enough. Besides, I'm not thin either. This is the healthiest figure. If I eat fatter, I won't look good. Little girls don't like it."
Li Jinqiu said angrily: "It's getting more and more out of shape."
"If you don't have enough living expenses, call mom, do you hear me?"
"I heard it...where's my dad? Is he at home?"
"Go to work. I heard that you are coming back today. Your dad specially changed shifts with someone and will come back in the evening."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I haven't had a drink with my dad for a long time. Let's have a drink with him tonight."
Li Jinqiu glared at his son: "You didn't develop the habit of drinking in school, did you?"
"No, no. Just don't worry."
Returning to the familiar courtyard again, Chen Fan felt extremely relaxed all over.
He had only been studying abroad for more than a year, but when he returned home this time, Chen Fan suddenly found that everything seemed different.
It turns out that I only had this little yard where I grew up playing, it turns out that the space in the house is so small, it turns out that the roads in the village are so narrow, it turns out that my parents have already grown gray hair without knowing it...
In the evening, Chen Jianye came back from get off work at the factory. His body was covered in dust and his hair was even white.
Working in a ceramics factory is not an easy job. You have to wear a thick dust mask every day and do this strenuous work in a space full of dust and mist.
My father, who looked strong and tall when he was a child, turned out to be hunched over unknowingly.
After a simple wash, Chen Jianye looked at his son with some displeasure.
"You kid, others have come back for the summer vacation. It's better for you. You can't see anyone outside during the summer vacation. It's hard for your mother to think about you every day."
Chen Fan smiled and handed his father a towel.
"Didn't I tell you on the phone that I am currently working part-time with my classmates, and we will try to start a business in a while."
Chen Jianye wiped his face and looked at his son.
"If you want to get in touch with society in advance and accumulate work experience, I won't interfere, but don't sacrifice the good and the bad. Don't forget that you are a student and you still have to focus on learning."
Chen Fan was a little embarrassed and quickly nodded in agreement.
After returning to the house, Chen Fan took out the gifts he had brought for his elders when he returned home this time.
I bought a new set of clothes and a set of cosmetics for my mother, a bottle of good wine and a pair of cigarettes from Beyond the Sea of Clouds for my father.
In addition, I bought a waist massage chair for my second wife, and the rest are all Yunhai specialties.
Seeing his son dig out so many things, Li Jinqiu was happy and nagging at the same time.
"How much do these things cost? Xiaofan, you are still in school. Even if you have some leftover for living expenses, you should save it and don't spend money lavishly."
Chen Jianye also chimed in: "Your mother is right, why did you buy these things for us? It's enough for you to have this filial piety."
Chen Fan smiled: "Mom and Dad, don't worry. I didn't spend money randomly. This money was not bought with living expenses, it was money I earned myself."
"Since I bought it for you, just use it. My son is not short of money."
Hearing this, Chen Jianye smacked his lips, "You're not short of money, what, you're rich?"
Chen Fan smiled, "Dad, you were right this time. I really made a lot of money."
Seeing the puzzled look on the second elder's face, Chen Fan came over and sat down, and spoke with a formal expression.
"Mom and Dad, when I come back this time, I just want to tell you something."
Seeing that his son was so serious, Li Jinqiu also put down the new clothes in his hand, walked over and sat down.
"Son, what happened? Did you cause trouble outside?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, where are you thinking? What I want to tell you is a good thing, a great thing."
Chen Jianye glared at his wife, "Don't speak, let your son finish speaking first."
Chen Fan rubbed his knees and told him the method he had thought of in advance when he came back.
"Mom and Dad, how is your heart? Do you have any heart disease?"
"It's best to be prepared if you have a heart attack."
Chen Jianye glared at his son, "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business."
Chen Fan smiled and scratched his head.
"Do you still remember when the college entrance examination just ended last year, I asked you to borrow money and said you wanted to learn computers during the summer vacation?"
Chen Jianye frowned and looked at his wife beside him.
"Is this happening?"
Li Jinqiu nodded, "Yes. I still remember it. At that time, I thought the registration fee was too expensive, so I didn't agree."
Li Jinqiu frowned and recalled it carefully.
"At that time, I remember that you asked us for five thousand yuan, saying that you wanted to learn computers with your classmates."
"It was your father who gave you the money later."
"My mother has a better memory."
Chen Fan smiled and flattered him.
Chen Jianye glared at his son, "You continue."
"Didn't I learn computers at that time? Later, when I went to college, I tried to use my computer knowledge to create a website."
"I didn't expect this website to become popular. It is very famous on the Internet and more and more people are browsing it."
"Later on, this website attracted the attention of some other major Internet companies, and they wanted to buy my website."
Chen Jianye and his wife listened in confusion. As honest country people, they actually knew nothing about the Internet.
"One of them was very sincere. After talking to me for a long time, I sold the website to them."
Chen Jianye was still thinking about what the website was at the moment. He heard his son said that he had sold the website, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Sell it, just sell it. What did I think it was?"
"Since you sold it, you can keep the money you earned to buy some school supplies and stuff."
"Mom and Dad, I sold that website for five million."
"You brat, you said it so formally. I really thought something big had happened. You scared me..."
Chen Jianye suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at his son with a dull expression.
"How much...how much?"
He looked at his wife again, only to find that she was also confused at the moment.
I suspect I heard it wrong.
Chen Fan smiled and answered again.
"That website sold for five million."
"Five...five million?"
Chen Jianye's face was no longer as calm as before, and he looked at his son in shock.
"You...are you sure you said five million, not five hundred yuan?"
