Seeing that everyone thought the same way, Xia Wanru picked up her phone and dialed Wei Lun's number.
At this moment, Wei Lun was still fast asleep in bed, perhaps because he was too tired.
Xia Wanru's first call didn't go through; it wasn't until the third call that Wei Lun finally answered.
"Hey Mom, your son is sleeping right now. Are you missing me?"
Wei Lun spoke without any embarrassment on the phone, explaining that because he had always been close to his mother, he spoke very casually.
The phone call was a bit noisy; it was the villagers next to Xia Wanru talking.
"Hey Wei Lun, do you really earn billions a month? Is that true?"
Xia Wanru immediately asked, clearly disbelieving what others were saying.
"Uh... Mom, who told you this? It's probably something like that, so what's wrong?"
Wei Lun sat up in bed, thinking that something must have happened at home, otherwise why would his mother ask such a question?
"Grandpa Li, Grandpa Sun, and your Aunt Wang from the village are all at our house. Didn't you know you were on TV?"
Xia Wanru explained, and Wei Lun finally understood. It turned out the interview had already been broadcast on television.
How could I have forgotten about this? Wei Lun slapped his forehead.
"Mom, is that so? Is there anything the villagers need?"
Wei Lun inquired, knowing that his village was relatively poor, and that the emergence of a celebrity would surely generate great enthusiasm among the villagers.
"Why don't you come back? We can talk about it when you get back?"
Xia Wanru didn't want to ask over the phone, since face-to-face discussions were more direct, and many things couldn't be explained clearly over the phone.
"Okay!"
After Wei Lun finished speaking, he hung up the phone, got dressed, and prepared to go home.
Because the journey was a little far, I left in a hurry.
When Zhao Xiang asked, Wei Lun simply said he had something to do back in his hometown, and then drove his Ferrari straight onto the highway.
It only takes half an hour to get to the village via the highway detour.
When Wei Lun arrived in the village in his Ferrari, everyone was filled with envy.
He drove to his house, and when he looked inside, the house was packed with people!
Many of Wei Lun's uncles and aunts, whom he had known since childhood, were there, along with some of his younger friends, all gathered around Wei Lun's house.
When everyone saw Wei Lun return, they cheered and rushed out to see the child who was ranked number one on the world's celebrity list and appeared on television.
"Hello, Uncle!"
Hello, Grandma!
"Hello, sir!"
Hello, Auntie!
Although Wei Lun's status is different now, the villagers have watched him grow up, and he can't be disrespectful to them.
Because of Wei Lun's politeness, the villagers all wore expressions of relief. Sure enough, even though Wei Lun had succeeded, he was not arrogant or haughty.
"Weilun, you've become more handsome! You're getting more and more handsome!"
"No wonder he's from our village, he's succeeded at such a young age!"
"Xiao Wei, you've worked hard!"
...
The villagers responded warmly to Wei Lun's greetings.
Walking in from the outside, a mere 10 meters took Wei Lun more than ten minutes; he had to greet everyone he met.
After entering the door, I finally saw my parents.
"Mom and Dad, I'm home!"
When Wei Lun saw his parents, his eyes welled up with tears. He hadn't seen them for many days and missed them dearly.
When Wei Fan and Xia Wanru saw Wei Lun, they went up to him and gave him a hug.
He stroked Wei Lun's head.
"Child, it's good to see you back. You must be tired from the journey! Come, come inside and let's talk!"
"Everyone, please come in!"
Wei Fan invited everyone back to his home to sit and chat.
When Wei Lun entered the room, he first saw many familiar faces; some of them had hair that was once jet black but had turned white.
Some had even more wrinkles on their faces, and Wei Lun couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. These were all family and friends who had accompanied him as he grew up.
Old Li was very pleased to see Wei Lun looking so radiant, but he didn't notice the bitterness in Wei Lun's heart.
"Weilun, you've grown up! You're now the pride of our village!"
Old Li laughed heartily as he spoke, clearly very fond of this child who was his nephew's generation.
Wei Lun looked at Old Li and remembered.
"Uncle Li, thank you so much. How are you feeling now?"
Wei Lun asked with concern, showing his deep interest in Uncle Li's health, given his advanced age.
Old Li felt even sweeter inside when he heard Wei Lun ask that question.
"My child, we're getting old. Do you think our health is still up to par? Haha!"
Old Li smiled and tore a banana off the table, handing it to Wei Lun.
Wei Lun didn't stand on ceremony, took the banana, peeled it, and started eating it, showing great friendliness.
Seeing how young and accomplished Wei Lun was, Grandpa Sun couldn't help but lament why his own son wasn't as successful.
"Hey Xiao Lun, how come you're so capable? How did you build such a big company?"
Grandpa Sun asked with great curiosity, and all the younger people around him pricked up their ears, hoping to learn something from Wei Lun's guidance.
Wei Lun looked at Grandpa Sun and smiled very gently.
"Don't praise me, Grandpa Sun. I just happened to be lucky. It's nothing."
Wei Lun couldn't very well say that he went to the apocalypse and brought back its technology, could he? He could only make up a story.
Wei Fan looked at his son Wei Lun, not knowing what to say. With a monthly income of billions, how was he going to educate his child?
Not only could he not educate, but he also could not punish. Wei Fan, as a father, was very distressed.
Wei Lun returned in a hurry, so he didn't buy much.
No one blamed him for this; after all, it was already a great honor for a billionaire to be willing to return home to visit his fellow villagers.
Aunt Wang, standing to the side, noticed that Wei Lun wasn't paying attention to her, and her face showed some displeasure.
"Hey kid, do you still recognize me?"
As soon as Aunt Wang finished speaking, Wei Lun looked up and realized, "Isn't this my Aunt Wang? How could I not recognize her?"
"Aunt Wang, of course I remember you. Everyone was here this time, so I didn't notice you. How are you doing these days?"
Wei Lun immediately became very respectful and polite, speaking with a smile.
"It's good that you remember. I thought you'd become famous and wouldn't even recognize your aunt anymore!"
Aunt Wang laughed heartily, and hearing Wei Lun say that made her a little happier.
Xia Wanru poured Wei Lun a glass of water.
"Weilun, could you stay a few more days this time? Everyone misses you. Now that you're home, you can listen to everyone's thoughts and see if anyone has any difficulties that you can help with."
Xia Wanru is a kind-hearted person who can't bear to see anyone living a hard life. She always feels empathy for those who are struggling.
"Okay, Mom, I'll do whatever you say."
Wei Lun took the hot water his mother poured and replied with a smile, but in his heart he was wondering, should he stay a few more days? That would be a difficult decision.
