Chapter 2474 The Zhang Family
After working for more than half a month, He Yuzhu finally had some time and took a trip home.
He returned home on June 5th, two days before the start of the college entrance examination.
When I arrived home, my younger sister, He Yuwei, was reading a book.
Before the college entrance examination, the school gave them a three-day holiday so they could rest and relax at home.
This is an old rule of the school; He Yuzhu also got three days off back then.
Before the holiday, there was a city-wide mock exam, which he did well on and received a reward of 300 yuan.
However, he handed over the 300 yuan reward as soon as he received it.
They need to go to the city to take the exam, and they will need to stay in a hotel for the next few days.
This 300 yuan covers accommodation, food, and transportation costs.
When He Yuzhu returned home, his parents and younger sister were extremely excited.
"Brother, you're finally home."
He Yuzhu patted his little sister's head and said, "Hurry up and help me move my things."
"Okay." He Yuwei skillfully opened the trunk and began unloading the items.
He Yuzhu looked at his parents, his eyes stinging with tears.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home."
He Yuzhu had barely entered his house and hadn't even said much when all the neighbors came over.
This person said, "Yuzhu, I heard from Yuxian that you've made a fortune in the city."
Someone said, "Yuzhu, your brother has nothing to do at home all day. Can you find him a good job?"
He Yuzhu showed no impatience and answered their questions one by one.
Their village is not large, with only a little over a thousand households in total.
Of course, there will be some conflicts among the villagers, but after the commotion, it will all pass.
Apart from a few companies that are making a big fuss and not speaking to each other, there's nothing else going on.
This made He Yuzhu, who had visited Courtyard No. 95, feel particularly warm.
Now that he's rich, his status is different. The villagers treat him with more respect.
Even the village chief, Yang Weiguo, his father's sworn brother, spoke to him with a hint of flattery.
He Yuzhu patiently answered the questions for a while, then said to the village chief, "Uncle Yang, why don't we let everyone go back first?"
Xiaowei's college entrance exam is in a few days; don't let it interfere with her.
"Yes, we can't delay Xiaowei's studies." Yang Weiguo's own son will be taking the college entrance exam next year, so he naturally understands its importance.
"Everyone, you can leave now. I'll let everyone know if anything happens."
No one in the village dared to cause trouble, and they quickly dispersed.
Yang Weiguo stayed behind last: "Yuzhu, Xiaowei's college entrance exam is the most important thing. We can talk about anything else after the exam. I'll be going now."
He Yuzhu held his hand and said, "Uncle Yang, don't go. Have the restaurant send some food over, and we can eat together at home."
“Okay. Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it,” Yang Weiguo said.
He Yuzhu wasn't home and didn't know the restaurant's phone number, so he gave his father a meaningful look.
Dad picked up the phone and called the restaurant, ordering a few dishes.
After making the call, the food will be delivered in about half an hour.
Yang Weiguo didn't stop him and continued to sit down and chat with He Yuzhu.
"There were too many people earlier, so I didn't have a chance to ask. What do you do for a living in Beijing?"
He Yuzhu turned to He Yuwei and said, "Bring over that box from earlier; it contains the cell phone I brought back."
He Yuwei pointed to a box on the ground: "Is this it?"
"Yes."
He Yuwei excitedly took the scissors, opened the box, and found more than a dozen mobile phones inside, which were just produced by Huawei.
He Yuzhu and He Yuwei took out a phone and handed it to Yang Weiguo: "This is a mobile phone produced by my company. It's a gift for you."
Yang Weiguo looked at the brand-new phone, somewhat at a loss.
He was using an old Nokia phone and had never seen one like it before.
"Is this what you just used?"
He Yuzhu's phone rang, and he took it out of his pocket to look at it. Yang Weiguo, who was right next to He Yuzhu, saw it too.
"Correct."
Yang Weiguo waved his hand: "I can't accept this. It's too valuable."
"It's alright, you can keep it," He Yuzhu said nonchalantly. "I brought back a lot, I don't need it all."
Data charges are high on this phone right now, so please don't turn on mobile if you're not using it.
He Yuzhu then helped him turn on the machine and showed him how to use it.
After studying for a while, Yang Weiguo worried that the cost was too high and was still reluctant to use it.
These days, data charges are really too high. For ordinary people, mobile phones are only used for making calls; other functions are useless to them.
However, He Yuzhu would not take back what he gave away. As for who he gave it to, He Yuzhu did not care.
During the meal, He Yuzhu revealed his purpose in keeping Yang Weiguo with him.
"Uncle Yang, if you want to get rich, build roads first. I want to donate 500,000 yuan to the village to repair the roads."
"Just follow the standards for highways."
Yang Weiguo was taken aback, not expecting He Yuzhu to bring this up, but he quickly agreed.
"We don't need that many."
"The extras are fine, you can decide how to use them. Whether it's for installing streetlights in the village or helping families in need, it's all good."
After finishing his meal, Yang Weiguo left satisfied.
The mother's face showed reluctance: "How much money have you actually earned? You just casually mention 500,000."
"Keep that money, buy a house in the city, and you can get married."
He Yuzhu laughed heartily: "Mom, the house has already been bought. You don't need to worry about this."
This is what I'm thinking: once Xiaowei gets into university, our whole family will move to Beijing.
I've prepared the houses over there for you.
You can take care of her.
The mother was about to say something more, but the father stopped her: "You should say less. Everyone knows Yuzhu is making money. If he doesn't give a penny, what will the villagers think of him?"
The mother whispered, "I didn't say I wouldn't let him contribute, I just felt that 500,000 was too much."
The father said, "That's all your fault. You keep telling those old women in the village that your son drives a car worth millions to work."
The mother was displeased: "You only criticize me, but haven't you bragged about it to anyone else?"
"After a few drinks, they'll blurt out anything."
The two started arguing again. The brother and sister were already used to this.
After arguing for a while, the two will stop talking and then go about their own business.
He Yuwei seized the opportunity to run to He Yuzhu's side: "Brother, can you give me a cell phone?"
"can."
He Yuzhu paused deliberately: "However, it depends on your college entrance examination results."
"If your grades improve, I'll give you a smartphone; if they don't, you can keep using your old phone."
He Yuwei said confidently, "I'm sure I'll do well on the exam. My grades are amazing now. I'm ranked eleventh in the whole city."
I also received a thousand yuan bonus.
Being in the top ten in the city is a pretty good result. Considering her initial poor foundation, it's quite impressive that she improved so much in just six months.
With this score, admission to Tsinghua or Peking University is impossible.
When their city had good academic performance, only three or four students would get into Tsinghua or Peking University.
"Don't get cocky, let's talk after the exam. After the exam, I'll take you to Beijing."
He Yuwei, forgetting all about her phone, excitedly said, "Then it's settled! I want to go to the Forbidden City, I want to climb the Great Wall, and I want to..."
"Stop bothering your brother and go read your book." After the argument, the mother turned around and saw He Yuwei clinging to He Yuzhu, so she scolded her.
He Yuzhu ignored it, went back to his room, and lay down to rest.
He thought going home would be comfortable, but he ended up having insomnia. Having gotten used to a good life, he just couldn't get used to sleeping on his hard bed at home.
Lying in bed, he dared not move.
The room was too small; even the slightest noise would wake Mother. (End of Chapter)
