Dad sat on the stool and played for an hour, his mouth agape with joy.

I originally wanted to call my relatives and friends to brag about it, but then I thought about how much money I owed the bank. What if everyone asked me for money after I bragged about it?

I had no choice but to suppress my restless heart.

He Wenlin laughed and said, "Dad, don't say I'm stingy, don't say I'm not filial to you."

Mr. He said with a smug look, "What? You shouldn't be filial to your father."

"Of course, of course. I'll buy you a Rolex in the future, so I can try to buy you a car."

"Return the car? Pay off the bank debt first. We've been losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, and your mother and I can't sleep at night."

"What's there to be afraid of? It's the banks that are having trouble sleeping."

...

When Aunt He came home in the evening and saw the mobile phone, she was quite excited.

Then she scolded, "It's okay if I don't use it. We owe the bank so much money, let's pay it off first. Mom knows you have the intention, that's enough. Let's return the phone."

"Why would you return it? Mom, you're the second-in-command in the factory now, and you're the boss's mother. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to not have a cell phone."

Aunt He chuckled.

He Wenlin added, "It will be more convenient to communicate with a mobile phone. I didn't think of this before, otherwise the first thing I would have done after getting the loan was to buy a PHS phone."

After saying that, He Wenlin said to her grandmother, "Grandma, I didn't buy you a cell phone, but I did buy you a pair of gold earrings."

He Wenlin felt uncomfortable if she bought cell phones for her parents but didn't buy anything for her grandmother, so she spent 1,200 yuan at Zhou Moufu to buy a pair of gold earrings.

“You silly child, Grandma is so old, why do I need to wear this? I owe the bank so much money right now.”

Since taking out the loan, apart from He Wenlin and the youngest He Wenjun who acted as if nothing had happened, the three adults in the family really couldn't sleep.

"Grandma, this is a gift from me to you. Don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it. Besides, gold holds its value, and this stuff can't be returned."

Grandma He was happy, but she was still worried. So she thought that if she could work more at the factory, her granddaughter would have to hire one less person, which would at least save her the cost of one person's salary.

Grandma He handed the gold earrings to He's mother: "Aizhen, you should wear the earrings. They look good on you. I don't dare to wear them."

Mrs. He had just put her phone away, so she wasn't angry or jealous that she hadn't received any gold jewelry.

“Mom, Linlin is giving this to you out of filial piety, so please accept it. You work so hard and raised her to adulthood, so it’s only right that we buy you gold.” Mother He said with a smile, “I don’t dare wear it here, but I’ll wear it when we go back to our hometown for the New Year, so that the villagers will know that your granddaughter has been raised with love and care.”

Hearing this, Grandma He said, "My Linlin is the best. She was sensible and obedient when she was little, and now she is filial and capable. No one can compare to her. It's just that she works too hard. Girls work harder than men."

At this point, the old lady burst into tears; her heart ached.

Other people's children are enjoying their lives at this age, while her child is working from dawn till dusk.

He Wenlin took He Laotai's arm and leaned her head against the old lady: "Grandma, don't cry. I'm not tired. I like making money. In the future, I will sell more gold for you and Mom, and buy diamonds. I will also buy a private jet so that you can be the richest and most enviable old lady."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely live to be a hundred years old and ride in my granddaughter's private jet."

He Wenjun ran over and stretched out his hand to He Wenlin: "Sister, the whole family has a gift. You haven't forgotten that you have a cute little brother, have you?"

He Wenlin slapped his palm: "If you get first place in the final exam, I'll buy you Super Mario."

He Wenjun was quite agitated: "No cheating allowed!"

"I, Mr. He, always keep my word!"

With the stimulation of this game, my younger brother's enthusiasm for studying has increased considerably.

...

The next morning, after rush hour, He's mother and He Wenlin rode together on He's father's motorcycle to the food factory.

Tang Kai can only leave work when Aunt He comes to the factory to take over his shift. Now Tang Kai works the night shift, and Aunt He works the day shift. Occasionally, Grandma He helps out and covers for him.

As usual, He Wenlin checked the performance, output, and progress of the neighboring company.

He Wenlin suddenly received a call from Zhang Yanjun. Yesterday, after buying a mobile phone, He Wenlin called Zhang Yanjun, Ge Yuliang, and Deng Zhiying to ask them to save her number.

"You want to add thirty boxes of goods, right? Okay, okay, I'll arrange it in a bit. No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Kai pounced on He Wenlin like a hungry wolf, his eyes burning as he stared at her phone: "Sis, you bought a phone! Is this your phone? Let me see it."

He Wenlin handed it to him: "It's just a PHS phone, and it costs a monthly fee. Making calls is ridiculously expensive."

"It's a cell phone! How much did you pay for it? Several thousand?" Tang Kai's eyes lit up as he looked at the phone.

"One thousand and two."

"Only 1200? I thought it would be several thousand."

Tang Kai regretted it. Damn it, he should have bought this thing instead of the slow-paced tour. Having a mobile phone makes him look cool when he goes out.

I regret it, I regret it.

Tang Kai thought about buying one himself, but the money was in his father's hands, and he figured his stingy father wouldn't agree. It looked like he'd have to wait until he got paid.

He Wenlin saw through his thoughts and said, "Don't buy a cell phone, it's not very useful. Focus on working here and saving money to buy a house! I won't agree to you buying this, and I won't let your aunt agree either. Don't even think about borrowing money, I'll talk to other people about it."

He Wenlin's words completely extinguished Tang Kai's hopes.

He looked at He Wenlin with a wry expression: "Sister~"

"Calling me 'sister' won't help. Just focus on your work and don't think about anything else until you buy a house."
