Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 121 [120] The Highest Earning Person in the Family

The advertising revenue algorithm has been corrected. There are minor modifications to the end of the previous chapter. Advertising revenue on Friday is now 86 yuan.

Xu Jinhuan said the recommendations will last at least a week. So, how many downloads will this mini-game have after a week? How much will the advertising revenue increase?
Chen Xingzhu believed that Xu Jinhuan must have thought of this as well, but he didn't ask him about it or say anything.

There were other people eating in the noodle shop besides Zhou Wei and her friends, so saying these things here might get out.

In Suicheng in 2012, a daily wage of 86 yuan was already higher than that of most adults. As the saying goes, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. Xu Jinhuan was just a high school student, and being too outstanding might bring him trouble.

"so amazing!"

Zhou Wei and the others were both surprised and envious. Zhu Xinyao secretly glanced at Chen Xingzhu and hinted with her eyes: See, Xu Jinhuan is indeed getting more and more outstanding!
Can I tell my aunt?

In the afternoon, Xu Jinhuan had to accompany her parents to Fu Qingxuan and Zhuang Chengan's house to express their gratitude. Therefore, after finishing her meal and returning to the library, she and Song Zhiyu left after only a short while.

On the way, Song Zhiyu asked excitedly, "Now that you're making money, your aunt and uncle definitely won't object anymore."

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it tonight."

There was no need for Xu Jinhuan to make a big splash in front of his parents. Now that he had seen some results and his grades had improved, he felt confident enough to tell them and make them happy too.

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui both took half a day off. Knowing that Fu Qingxuan was pregnant, they bought two boxes of nutritional supplements in advance. After the two siblings returned, they bought some fruit at the entrance of the community and then took the bus to the school's teachers' apartment.

Zhuang Chengan and Fu Qingxuan were both at home, along with two elders. Xu Jinhuan and the others expressed their gratitude, sat down for a few more words, and then took their leave.

"Can we talk now?"

On the way back, she bought some groceries. Once home, Song Zhiyu couldn't help but ask Xu Jinhuan, "We're home now, isn't it evening?"

Song Xiaohui asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just me..."

Xu Jinhuan was about to speak, but before he could even begin, Song Zhiyu excitedly raised her hand to stop him: "No! You're not allowed to say it! I'll say it!"

"Okay, okay, go ahead and say it."

Helpless, Xu Jinhuan took out his phone and continued to refresh the background data of AppStoreConnect, preparing to show it to his parents later.

"Uncle, uncle!"

Xu Haiguang had just bought a watermelon at the intersection of the vegetable market. He went to wash it and was about to cut it when Song Zhiyu called out from the living room, "Uncle, come here, I have something to say!"

"what?"

Xu Haiguang came over with a washed watermelon and a kitchen knife. "What did you say?"

"My brother made a game!"

Once everyone was present, Song Zhiyu raised her chin slightly and proudly announced, then looked expectantly at her aunt and uncle's reactions, "Impressive, right?"

? ?
Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered. Looking at their son, Song Xiaohui asked, "What do you mean by 'playing a game'?"

Xu Haiguang asked, "Did you come up with a game yourself?"

"Oh no!"

Song Zhiyu paused for a moment before realizing what the couple was talking about. They had no idea what "making games" meant, so she held up her phone to show them, "Our phones can download software and games, like the games my brother plays at internet cafes, those are developed by game companies..."

"Now my brother has also developed a game, but it's not played on a computer, it's played on a mobile phone, this is it."

She first opened the app store, "That's how you download it online, and then you can play it... I'll show you how."

"Etc., etc."

Song Xiaohui was a little confused. "How...how was this done?"

"Universities teach computer programming; both computer science and software programming majors teach it."

Xu Jinhuan explained to his parents, "I borrowed a computer from Sister Xie Zhiqiang before, and that's how I wrote the program and made this game."

Why are you doing this?

My parents barely understood, and then, unsurprisingly, they started frowning. "If you like this, you can get it in college. Just focus on your studies now..."

"I'm studying hard right now, and my grades have improved, haven't they?"

Xu Jinhuan explained with a smile, "I've been going to internet cafes less lately, haven't you noticed? It's like I'm using the time I would have spent going to internet cafes to learn programming on my own."

"It does not matter!"

Seeing that they had steered the conversation astray, Song Zhiyu pulled them back on track, then glared angrily at Xu Jinhuan: "You're not allowed to speak. I'll do it myself. You never get to the point..."

"Okay, okay, okay,"

Xu Jinhuan wisely didn't try to reason with her. "Tell me, tell me."

"The important thing is, my brother made money from his game!"

Song Zhiyu's eyes widened, and she raised her voice as if announcing some major news, "We made money, really!!"

Song Xiaohui and Xu Haiguang looked at each other again, and Xu Haiguang asked, "How did you make the money?"

"It's an advertisement." Song Zhiyu waved to Xu Jinhuan, "Give it to me, give it to me..."

She took Xu Jinhuan's phone and saw that it was the interface she wanted. She quickly handed it over to show him: "Look, it costs 86 yuan!"

"Eighty yuan..."

Song Xiaohui, who was initially nervous and expectant, instantly turned to amusement and helplessness upon hearing this: "What can you do with eighty yuan?"

Eighty a day!

Song Zhiyu realized she had misspoke and quickly corrected herself, "2580 yuan a month! And it might even be more in the future..."

She didn't immediately grasp the significance of the 86 yuan advertising revenue on Friday like Chen Xingzhu did, but she still possessed basic cognitive abilities and knew that she would definitely earn more later.

Moreover, even this current income is not low.

"So many?"

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui were both taken aback, and then they both looked at their son at the same time. When Xu Jinhuan nodded, they were both a little unsure of what to say.

Xu Haiguang earns a slightly higher salary than Song Xiaohui, but it's only a little over 2000 yuan a month.

If that's really the case, my son, who hasn't even graduated high school, is actually the highest-paid person in the family?!
"This is unstable."

Xu Jinhuan began to prepare his parents, saying, "Today it might be more, tomorrow it might be less, and maybe in the future we can even make several thousand yuan a day in advertising fees..."

"Several thousand yuan a day? You're dreaming!"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes, then said excitedly, "It would be great to make around a hundred yuan a day... I'll help you promote it later, some of our classmates use iPhones too."

"Thank you."

Xu Jinhuan gave a perfunctory reply, then solemnly said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I know you're worried. I won't let this affect my studies. Besides, there's nothing else to do right now."

He concealed the fact that there would be subsequent updates and maintenance, saying, "I just wanted to show off a bit. Anyway, making money is always a good thing, right?"

"That's true."

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui finally smiled. Xu Haiguang finally had the mind to cut the watermelon. As he cut it, he said, "As long as it doesn't interfere with your studies, you don't need to think about making money right now."

"Oh, we're just saying this to make you happy."

Song Zhiyu said in a coquettish tone, "My brother didn't want to tell me at first because he was afraid you would scold him. I had to persuade him before he agreed to tell me... Auntie, let me show you how to play."

Song Zhiyu opened the game and showed it to Song Xiaohui, but she crashed into the second pipe and died, yelling, "Wait, let's try again, let's try again!"

This time, she managed to get through more than a dozen pipes, barely saving face, before she went to get a watermelon to eat and then taught Song Xiaohui and Xu Haiguang how to play.

"We can't get through!"

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui were both too old and had never used a smartphone before, so their reactions were too slow. They failed to get past the first pipe several times and immediately lost interest in continuing to play.

"What's this called?"

Where can we play this game?

However, even though they didn't play it themselves, Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui still asked about the game name several times, probably planning to show it off to their colleagues and friends later.

After figuring it out, Song Xiaohui didn't forget to remind Xu Jinhuan: "Study hard, the high school entrance exam is coming up soon."

"I know, don't worry!"

Knowing they had something to do in the afternoon, Chen Xingzhu didn't come to see Xiao Guai. Xu Jinhuan was eating watermelon when she saw Xiao Guai licking its fur on the sofa, so she took a picture and sent it to her.

Then, a question suddenly occurred to him, so he typed a message asking her, "Is Xiaoguai male or female?"

Chen Xingzhu quickly replied: "Male cat."

Xu Jinhuan then asked, "Shouldn't she be sterilized?"

Chen Xingzhu took a long time to reply: "It should be."

"I'll ask about it later, and I'll go get it done next week."

Xu Jinhuan replied casually, "It's easy to get a male cat, and it's cheap too."

Chen Xingzhu didn't reply for a long time.

Xu Jinhuan then felt something was off, but after thinking about it, he found it funny: Could it be that the little girl is shy about this kind of topic?

Little Guai was lying next to me, with its hind legs crossed, stretching its head down to lick its belly, shamelessly exposing its private parts.

Xu Jinhuan glanced at it, feeling sorry for the poor kitten, and then, for some reason, suddenly felt a chill down below.

From this perspective, Chen Xingzhu's shyness about this kind of thing should be considered a good thing...
