Reborn 10 years later: First, save 100 million Bitcoins

Qinghe City!

Xiao Jianguo parked his tricycle used for collecting recyclables by the roadside, patted the dust off his clothes, and his weathered face was now beaming with a smile as he answered the phone.

Especially today, not only Xiao Feng but also Li Zhinian are here.

Xiao Feng heard the occasional noise of cars coming from the phone: "Dad, it's already 8 pm, aren't you home yet?"

"I was just about to head home; I'll be there soon."

Have you eaten yet?

"I'll make some noodles when I get home."

"Uh..." Xiao Feng felt a pang of sadness: "Dad, eat something good. Don't just eat noodles all the time; they have no nutrition."

Xiao Jianguo smiled with relief: "It's alright, I'm not growing, what do I need nutrition for? Besides, I grow vegetables in my own garden. Noodles with some greens are clean and hygienic, much better than eating out."

In the eyes of the older generation, restaurants and delicatessens outside are not clean and are indeed not as good as cooking at home.

"By the way, did you have dinner with Chinen?"

"We were just about to go out to eat."

"Oh." Xiao Jianguo changed the subject: "It's good to eat out. Big restaurants outside are clean and hygienic, and the food is delicious. We should definitely take Zhinian to eat good food more often."

Then… Xiao Jianguo spoke with a hint of boastfulness.

"By the way, do you two still have enough money? I made quite a bit today collecting recyclables, roughly over 100 yuan."

"Including what I've saved up recently, it should be around 1000. I'll transfer it to you tomorrow. Don't skimp on yourself while you're away."

In Xiao Jianguo's view, earning more than 100 yuan a day is indeed something to brag about.

After all, the situation is different. Xiao Jianguo has a disability in his left leg, and he is also getting old, so no one wants to hire him.

Now, being able to earn over 100 yuan a day by collecting recyclables is already quite remarkable.

So, having just saved up 1000 yuan, she was thinking of sending it all to Xiao Feng.

This time, unlike before, Xiao Feng didn't come to ask for money; on the contrary…

"Dad, don't worry, I have plenty of money, and I'll go to the bank tomorrow to transfer 10 yuan to you."

"This 10 yuan is for your living expenses. I will continue to send you money regularly. You should stop collecting recyclables, eat well, have fun, and enjoy yourself."

For a fleeting moment after saying those words, Xiao Feng felt a little bit handsome himself.

However… the predictable scene still unfolded.

As soon as Xiao Feng finished speaking, Xiao Jianguo on the other end of the phone panicked after hearing what he said.

This wasn't disbelief, but rather a realization that something serious must have happened.

"10? You're giving me 10? Where did you suddenly get so much money? Xiao Feng, you absolutely mustn't go down the path of crime, otherwise..."

"Uncle, I can testify." Before Xiao Jianguo could finish speaking, Li Zhinian quickly stepped in to explain, "It's true, Xiaofeng made over 60 yuan in the stock market this week."

"I've already received the bride price, so don't worry, Uncle, it's all true, Xiaofeng really didn't lie to you."

In just a few seconds, the signs of age on Xiao Jianguo's face seemed to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After hearing that her son had suddenly become successful, her whole demeanor changed, and she straightened her back immediately.

Xiao Jianguo's voice trembled as he said, "Good, good! Our son is really capable. You've earned more in this week than I have in my entire life."

"But Dad doesn't want the money. Dad can support himself. You keep all the money for yourself and Chinen to live together."

"As long as you two are doing well, I can die in peace."

It's the same old excuse again.

"Sigh, alright." Xiao Feng said with a hint of helplessness, "Since you don't want the money, I'll donate it tomorrow. Consider it a good deed."

"You donated it?" Xiao Jianguo almost lost his temper: "What were you thinking? You donated all the money you worked so hard to earn? You absolutely can't donate it!"

This is exactly Xiao Feng's strategy.

To avoid rambling, that's the only way to put it.

Li Zhinian, who was standing to the side, immediately understood what Xiao Feng meant.

Isn't this the same trick they used on me just now?

Then I have to lend a hand.

Li Zhinian chimed in, "Uncle, Xiao Feng originally intended to give you this 10 yuan. If you don't want it, then he can only pass on this filial piety to others."

"So, if you have to choose between these two, you should choose the former."

Li Zhinian also learned to choose between two options when faced with multiple-choice questions.

For a moment, Xiao Jianguo could not hide his excitement.

The reason I said no earlier was because I truly didn't want it and hoped that Xiao Feng could have a better life.

But if you don't want the money and just donate it, then... nothing more needs to be said!

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Jianguo remained silent for a long time, but it was not hard to tell from the breathing sounds coming through the phone that he was experiencing an indescribable feeling.

I felt both gratified and excited.

I'm relieved because Xiao Feng has not only grown up, but he also knows how to give me money as a sign of filial piety.

I'm excited because... my son has suddenly become so capable.

They gave so much money all at once.

It's estimated that for the next few days, Xiao Jianguo will have to stand at the village entrance every day, telling everyone he meets about his son.

Xiao Jianguo remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Okay, then Dad will keep this money for you, and in the future..."

"Stop, stop!" Xiao Feng said helplessly, and couldn't help but complain, "Why do you all use the same excuse? I will check regularly. If I find that the money hasn't been spent, I will still donate the next sum of money."

"And you too." Then, Xiao Feng looked at Li Zhinian beside him: "If I find that the money I gave you hasn't been spent, I'll donate your share next time too."

It gave the impression that Xiao Feng was threatening the two of them.

Li Zhinian raised an eyebrow, looking completely bewildered…

Is this any of my business?

I thought we were on the same side?

"Alright, Dad, I won't waste any more words. In short, starting tomorrow, stop collecting recyclables. You can just enjoy yourself."

"I will give you retirement money every month from now on. If it's not enough, you can ask me for it anytime."

Xiao Feng also did not give Xiao Jianguo a choice.

It's basically forcing them to give you money.

They also clearly stated that they would provide a monthly pension payment from now on.

Xiao Jianguo is only 50 years old this year. If he starts to enjoy life now, he can enjoy it for at least another 30 years.

In his previous life, Xiao Jianguo died from overwork eight years later.

But in this life, Xiao Feng wants Xiao Jianguo to enjoy life every single day.

With no worries about food or clothing, and the option to go fishing whenever you have free time, how wonderful is that!

"Okay." Xiao Jianguo agreed, "Then Dad will do whatever you say, and from now on I'll just enjoy myself."

Xiao Feng continued, "Of course, otherwise what's the point of me making money? Isn't it to make life better for the people around me and my family?"

"Also, Dad, if you want, I don't object and I support you. After all, you've been single for so many years, you could consider finding a companion."

"If you find a companion, someone to live with you, at least you'll have someone to look after you."

Xiao Jianguo has been single for many years. He didn't dare to find another woman when he was younger because he was afraid that his stepmother would treat Xiao Feng badly.

Now that Xiao Feng has grown up... the situation is different... Xiao Jianguo could indeed consider finding someone else.

only…

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Jianguo remained silent for a few seconds... After hesitating for a long time:

"I don't actually want to find a partner for old age."

"It would be so nice to find a companion, someone to keep you company. Or... are you still unable to get over that hurdle in your heart?" Xiao Feng was very puzzled.

"No, what I mean is, if possible, I'd like to find someone younger."

"..."
