The next day at dawn.
When Shen Fang woke up, he touched Chen Huilin beside him. Her skin was smooth and silky to the touch. It felt great.
Chen Huilin opened her eyes and looked at Shen Fang with a sweet smile: "Good morning, darling."
Good morning, Linlin. Oh, by the way, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year. Happy New Year! Get up quickly, a lot of people will be coming to your door, and you'll be receiving quite a few red envelopes.
Chen Huilin nodded, and Shen Fang quickly put on his clothes. He then discovered that Chen Huilin was still lying in bed.
"Get dressed."
Chen Huilin blushed and said shyly, "Don't look at me, I'm embarrassed with you here."
Shen Fang laughed heartily, kissed Chen Huilin's forehead, and walked out of the room.
As soon as she stepped out of the house, she saw Fan Xiaopang and Gui Lunmei looking at her sideways from not far away.
Shen Fang scratched the back of his head.
Good morning, both of you beauties.
Fan Xiaopang pouted: "Hmph, she got her way!"
Gwei Lun-mei tugged at Fan Xiaopang's arm: "You have to accept the consequences of your bet. Who told you to lose at cards?"
A sinking coin? What the heck? A gamble that pays off? Something's not right!!!
"Are you using me as a bet???"
Fan Xiaopang chuckled and said, "That's right."
Without saying a word, Chen Fang slapped Fan Xiaopang's round body twice. Good heavens, this little vixen has some nerve. She actually dared to use him as a bet.
Little Fatty nestled in Shen Fang's arms: "I feel wronged."
Shen Fang hugged the chubby little boy's plump body: "Why are you acting so aggrieved?"
"Hmph, Linlin lied to me. She said she doesn't know how to play mahjong, but she can dominate the game as soon as she sits down. Liar."
Shen Fang pinched the little fat boy's lips: "Alright, let's go downstairs for breakfast."
After everyone had settled down at the table, Chen Huilin, with a rosy and radiant complexion, walked downstairs.
Fan Xiaopang glared at Chen Huilin angrily, while Chen Huilin smiled and gave Fan Xiaopang a provocative look.
Shen Fang quickly stopped him.
"Hurry up and eat breakfast."
After everyone had breakfast, villagers came one after another to offer New Year's greetings, and Liu Yue'e had already prepared red envelopes (containing money).
Two large bundles of red envelopes were handed out one by one, usually containing 5 or 10 yuan. In Guangdong, New Year's red envelopes are only this big, and even for close relatives, the amount is at most 100 yuan.
Liu Qianqian, Chen Huilin, Gui Lunmei, and Fan Xiaopang naturally reaped a bountiful harvest, their pockets almost overflowing.
After exchanging New Year's greetings, the family traveled from Maoming to Guangzhou by boat. Lu Jinbo, Wang Hui, and Xiao Ma also came along.
Sitting on the ferry, looking at the sea view and gazing at the sky, the sun was dazzling. Spending the Lunar New Year in Guangdong in winter is indeed quite comfortable.
Shen Fang stretched and looked quite content.
Brother Ma handed a few cigars to the group.
"Try it, my dad's boss gave it to me."
Shen Fang shook his head: "I'm not used to this stuff. Dad will let you try it."
Shen Fang tossed the cigar to his father.
Little Ma lit his cigar, took a puff, and thought it was just so-so.
"The location for the Penguin Building has been decided, and construction will begin after the New Year. The Shenzhen government has been very accommodating this time, exempting us from taxes for two years. Shouldn't we thank Mayor Huang?"
"No need for that. Don't get involved with her at all. Besides, she's about to be replaced, and the person who's going to take her place has a long history of dealings with her. We shouldn't get involved in these things."
"Brother, China Mobile has contacted me and they're preparing to open the interface for Mobile Dream Network."
Shen Fang took off his sunglasses: "Great news! This is fantastic news! With this, our profits will increase significantly. QQ is practically an essential chat tool for every young person these days, and our farm game can also be used on it. It's an absolute gold-farming machine!"
Nowadays, mobile phones have become an essential item for almost all adult Chinese people, something they can't live without every day. The most common uses of mobile phones these days are probably watching videos, playing games, and social communication.
But it wasn't like that 20 years ago, in early 2004.
The author first used a mobile phone to access the internet in the autumn of 2006. At that time, mobile phones that could access the internet all had a fixed "Mobile Dream Network" internet access icon, which contained a wealth of content, of course, under the circumstances at that time.

And penguins, etc.
For newcomers to the internet on their mobile phones, it seemed like this was the only option, and it offered a wide variety of content. Other major websites hadn't really focused on mobile internet yet; I remember Baidu Mobile was very rudimentary back then.
However, despite its seemingly friendly and convenient appearance, the China Mobile Internet service was a complete scam. I remember it deducted tens of yuan from my dad's phone bill in just one night. My dad gave me a severe beating, which scared me so much that I immediately stopped going online. Later, after much effort, I discovered other ways to access the internet and escaped the nightmare of the China Mobile Internet service.
Unlike the current free internet mindset, Mobile Dream Network really charges every step of the way, ripping people off as soon as they're caught, with traps everywhere, forcing some people to abandon their SIM cards, change their phone numbers, and disable GPRS internet access.
Of course, in the end, Mobile Dream Network killed itself, but with its large user base, it made a fortune by exploiting each user.
Back then, internet access was via 2G GPRS, which was extremely slow. Even a 30MB monthly data allowance wouldn't be used up, so China Mobile generously introduced unlimited data plans. Because internet access was expensive, it was a nightmare for some.
