September 1st.

With only a few days left before the end of summer vacation, Chen Fan left Ma Xiaoshuai alone in the apartment, bought a ticket and returned to Los Angeles alone.

When I returned to my familiar hometown in the countryside, my mother was waiting at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

"Mom, I told you I could go back by myself, why did you have to come out to pick me up?"

Li Jinqiu reached out and took the suitcase from his son's hand, looking his son up and down.

"Why do you feel thinner? Don't you eat on time now?"

"You still say that the living expenses your mother gave you are not enough?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Of course I have enough living expenses. Besides, I'm not thin. This figure is the healthiest. If I get fatter, I won't look good. The girl won't like it."

Li Jinqiu said unhappily, "You are becoming more and more out of character."

"If you don't have enough living expenses, call mom. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it, I heard it...Where's my dad? Is he home?"

"I went to work. I heard that you were back, so your dad switched shifts with someone else and will be back in the evening."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I haven't drunk with my dad for a long time. Let's have a drink together tonight."

Li Jinqiu glared at his son and said, "You didn't develop a drinking habit at school, did you?"

"No, no. Don't worry."

Returning to the familiar courtyard again, Chen Fan felt extremely relaxed all over.

Although he had been studying abroad for more than a year, when he returned home this time, Chen Fan suddenly discovered that everything seemed different.

It turns out that the yard where I grew up is so small, the space in the house is so small, the roads in the village are so narrow, and my parents have grown white hair without me noticing...

In the evening, Chen Jianye came back from get off work at the factory, his body covered in dust and his hair was completely white.

Working in a ceramic factory is not a good job. Every day I have to wear a thick dust mask and do this hard work like a beast of burden in a dusty space.

My father, who looked strong and tall when I was a child, had become hunchbacked without me noticing.

After a simple wash, Chen Jianye looked at his son with some displeasure.

"You kid, other people have already returned from summer vacation, but you are the opposite. You have been out and about for the entire summer, and your mother has been missing you so much every day."

Chen Fan handed his father a towel with a smile.

"Didn't I tell you guys on the phone? I've been working part-time with you lately, and we're going to try to start our own business after a while."

Chen Jianye wiped his face and looked at his son.

"I won't interfere if you want to get in touch with society and gain work experience in advance, but don't lose sight of the big picture. Don't forget that you are a student and your main priority should be studying."

Chen Fan was a little embarrassed and nodded quickly.

After returning home, Chen Fan took out the gifts he brought back for his parents.

I bought my mother a new set of clothes and cosmetics, and my father a bottle of good wine and a pack of Yunhaibian cigarettes.

I also bought a lumbar massage chair for my parents, and the rest were all Yunhai specialties.

Seeing his son digging out so many things, Li Jinqiu was happy but also a little nagging.

"How much do these things cost? Xiaofan, you are still in school. Even if you have some extra living expenses, you should save them and don't spend them recklessly."

Chen Jianye also said, "Your mother is right. Why did you buy these things for us? It's enough that you have filial piety."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. I didn't spend money recklessly. This money was not bought with living expenses, but money I earned myself."

"Since I bought it for you, you can use it as you like. My son has no shortage of money."

Hearing this, Chen Jianye smacked his lips and said, "You're not short of money, so what? Did you get rich?"

Chen Fan smiled, "Dad, you are right this time. I really made a lot of money."

Seeing the two elders looking puzzled, Chen Fan walked over and sat down, then spoke with a stern look on his face.

"Mom and Dad, I came back this time because I have something to tell you."

Seeing his son so serious, Li Jinqiu put down the new clothes in his hands, walked over and sat down.

"Son, what happened? Did you get into trouble outside?"

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, what are you thinking? I have something good to tell you, very good news."

Chen Jianye glared at his wife and said, "Don't say anything. Let our son finish his speech first."

Chen Fan rubbed his knees and told everyone the plan he had thought of in advance when he came back.

"Mom and Dad, are your hearts okay? Do you have heart disease?"

"If you have a heart attack, it's best to prepare in advance."

Chen Jianye glared at his son and said, "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

Chen Fan smiled and scratched his head.

"Do you remember when I asked you to borrow money to learn computer science during the summer vacation right after the college entrance examination last year?"

Chen Jianye frowned and looked at his wife beside him.

"Is that true?"

Li Jinqiu nodded, "Yes. I still remember. At that time, I thought the registration fee was too expensive, so I didn't want to."

Li Jinqiu frowned and recalled it carefully.

"I remember you asked us for 5,000 yuan, saying you wanted to learn computers with me."

"Later, your father gave you the money."

"My mother has a good memory."

Chen Fan flattered him with a smile.

Chen Jianye glared at his son and said, "Go on."

“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 so popular. It's very famous online, and more and more people are visiting it."

"Later, this website attracted the attention of some other Internet giants, and they wanted to buy my website."

Chen Jianye and his wife were confused. As honest country folk, they knew nothing about the Internet.

"One of them was very sincere and talked to me for a long time, so I sold the website to them."

Chen Jianye was still thinking about what the website was about. When he heard his son said he had sold the website, he didn't take it to heart at all.

"It's sold, so I didn't think it was a big deal."

"Since you've sold it, you can keep the money for yourself and buy some school supplies or something."

"Mom and Dad, I sold that website for five million."

"You little brat, you talked so rudely that I really thought something serious had happened. You tried to scare me..."

Chen Jianye suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at his son with a sullen look on his face.

"How much...how much?"

He looked at his wife, only to find that she looked confused.

I suspected I had heard it wrong.

Chen Fan answered again with a smile.

“That website sold for five million.”

"Five...five million?"

Chen Jianye's expression was no longer calm, and he looked at his son in shock.

"You...are you sure you meant five million, not five hundred?"
