Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 208 [207] The Surprise from Chen Xingruo (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)

"The train is at 9:40. Arrive at the station at 9:10 and get downstairs before 8:40."

The day before departure, on the 15th, after dinner, with everything ready, Xu Jinhuan, as the person in charge, began to arrange the schedule for the next day, "Everyone, please finish packing your things tonight, mainly summer clothes and underwear. Mom and Dad, remember to wear your hiking boots."

"Also, bring your power banks, iPhones don't last long enough; everyone get up before 7:30 tomorrow, no sleeping in."

He glanced at Song Zhiyu one last time and said, "I'm not worried about my sister or Xingzhu, I'm just worried about you. Don't you dare sleep in."

Why don't you trust me?

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes and said, "I won't sleep in. I'll definitely get up earlier than you."

Xie Wanqing said softly, "It's okay, we'll come and call you tomorrow."

"Sister Wanqing is still the best."

Song Zhiyu smiled sweetly and said to Chen Xingzhu, "Sister Xingzhu is good too, anyway, she's better than someone else."

Xu Jinhuan didn't care about that. After finishing her meal, she tidied up, took a shower, and then packed all the things she needed to bring for tomorrow. In those days, mobile payment wasn't widespread, so she had to carry her wallet and bank cards when she went out. The security situation wasn't as reassuring as it would be more than ten years later, so she still had to be careful.

The Android version of Flappy Bird has been released, but the number of downloads has not increased as much as expected. The Google Play Store did give it a recommendation, but the effect was not as good as the Apple App Store.

Fortunately, Android has a large user base, with downloads exceeding 80 and daily active users exceeding 5. Daily advertising revenue continues to fluctuate and rise. On the 15th, we saw that the advertising revenue from the 13th was 4913 yuan, starting to approach the 5000 yuan mark.

Even converted to US dollars, it's close to $800. Although it's still far from the original author's usual income of $5000, it's still quite substantial, considering the short time it's been on the market.

"Xu Jinhuan!"

The next morning, while Xu Jinhuan was still asleep, Song Zhiyu's voice suddenly rang in her ears, deliberately using a sharp, high-pitched tone, "Get up!"

Xu Jinhuan struggled to open her eyes and saw her standing by her bed in a nightgown, looking smug. "I got up earlier than you, didn't I?"

Xu Jinhuan raised her wrist, glanced at the watch she had given her, and snapped, "Are you crazy? Why did you wake me up at 6:30?"

"Didn't you say you were worried I'd oversleep?"

Song Zhiyu spoke with conviction, but cautiously took two steps back to avoid being pulled over. "Get up quickly, or I'll rip your blanket off!"

Xu Jinhuan said, "I'm not wearing any clothes, I'm warning you!"

"You're not wearing clothes, it's not me who's not wearing clothes!"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him, then turned her head, her long hair flowing, and slammed the door shut as she left. "Get up quickly!"

Xu Jinhuan ignored her, closed his eyes and continued to sleep until he was woken up by his 7:19 alarm clock. Only then did he yawn and get up to change his clothes.

He went out of the room and saw that Song Zhiyu's door was closed. He went to the living room and saw his mother cooking and his father watering the vegetables his mother had planted on the balcony. He couldn't help but ask, "Where's Zhizhi?"

Song Xiaohui laughed and said, "After calling you, you went back to sleep."

"I knew it!"

Xu Jinhuan ran to her room door and was about to knock when he heard the alarm clock ringing inside. So he knocked on the door and said, "Song Zhiyu, get up!"

"I'm up!"

Song Zhiyu's voice came from inside, "I'm packing my things, unlike you who's so lazy..."

"You're still being stubborn."

Xu Jinhuan pushed the door open and saw that she had obviously just gotten out of bed and was standing in front of the wardrobe, holding a light pink bra in her hand. It was unclear whether she was going to put it away or change it.

Seeing Xu Jinhuan enter, Song Zhiyu quickly turned around, put her hands behind her back, and glared at him with a slightly flushed face, saying, "Who let you in?"

"Okay, you did get up."

Xu Jinhuan decided not to argue with her, lest she suffer the consequences. "I'll go wash my face and brush my teeth first."

He quickly slipped out of the room. After all, it wasn't a big deal, and Song Zhiyu didn't chase after him. Xu Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly washed up.

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui both held the older generation's belief that "the car can't wait for anyone," and they were even more proactive than Xu Jinhuan. By the time Xu Jinhuan finished washing up, the meal was already ready.

Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu quickly came down with their bags. Although their summer clothes were light, their backpacks still looked full. Xu Jinhuan sighed inwardly and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you share everything you can? Why are you still carrying so much?"

Although none of the three of them wore makeup, they brought a lot of sunscreen and moisturizing products. Xu Jinhuan had suggested sharing a set beforehand, but she didn't expect them to bring so much stuff.

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "We brought some snacks, which we can eat on the train and on the mountain."

"eat first."

After breakfast, Chen Xingzhu made arrangements for Xiao Guai. She originally wanted to buy another litter box, but Song Xiaohui stopped her and used an old washbasin instead. She poured more litter into it and then, following Xu Jinhuan's suggestion, poured water and food into a disposable bowl for it.

After checking the doors and windows again, the whole family set off, putting their luggage in Xie Wanqing's car. Although the policies have tightened now, the management in a small, third-tier city like Suicheng is still lax. Xu Jinhuan, who had just gotten his driver's license, continued to drive, his father sat in the passenger seat, and his mother and Song Zhiyu had to squeeze into the back.

Parking at Suicheng Railway Station is very cheap now, capped at 6 yuan per day, and will only rise to 10 yuan in ten years. It's much cheaper than in big cities, otherwise my parents might not be willing to drive there.

"It's not Chinese New Year, why are there so many people?"

Upon entering the waiting room, Song Zhiyu was stunned by the sight of it being packed with people everywhere. "Besides the Spring Festival travel rush, does China also have a summer travel rush?"

"There are way more people during the Spring Festival travel rush, okay?"

Xu Jinhuan led the way to find an empty seat, casually explaining, "During the summer vacation, it's mainly migrant workers and their children from nearby villages and towns who come to the city to reunite with their parents, and also to pick up their children from their hometowns..."

"Oh."

Not only Song Zhiyu looked around curiously, but Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu did the same. They knew that there would be a lot of people during the summer vacation, but they hadn't thought about what Xu Jinhuan had just said.

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "You seem to know everything?"

"You don't understand, but I do. Anyway, even if I'm wrong, you won't know."

Xu Jinhuan feigned modesty, took out his phone and said, "Let me take a picture here... I need to find someone to help me."

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui earnestly adhered to the principle of listening to their child's arrangements, neither objecting nor suggesting that they take photos for them instead of themselves, allowing their son to pull a girl who looked like a student to help take photos.

Xie Wanqing watched this scene and couldn't help but feel envious. Although her parents earned more money, they were not as comfortable to be around as Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui. They didn't put on airs in front of their children and didn't use their life experience to lecture the younger generation.

'Marrying Xu Jinhuan would actually be quite good...'

The thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly dismissed it, trying not to let herself dwell on it.

Want some sunflower seeds?

Xu Haiguang brought a plastic bag of food. While waiting for the bus, he got bored and opened the loose sunflower seeds to ask Chen Xingzhu and the others for some.

"I will not eat."

"I eat."

After spending so much time together, even Chen Xingzhu had long since become comfortable with him, cracking sunflower seeds and playing on her phone while waiting for the bus to depart.

Song Zhiyu opened the large bag Xu Haiguang had brought to check what delicious food was inside, and exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle, you brought so much instant noodles?"

Xu Haiguang brought six packs of instant noodles, one for each person. They wouldn't get off the bus until 9 p.m., so they would have two meals: lunch and dinner. Even if someone didn't eat instant noodles, they could finish all six packs. If it wasn't enough, they could eat some more after getting off the bus at 9 p.m. Plus, they had a bunch of snacks, which they could buy on the bus, so they wouldn't go hungry.

"I want a bucket."

Xie Wanqing eagerly raised her hand and laughed, "I haven't had instant noodles in ages, just thinking about them makes my mouth water..."

"I do not want."

Song Zhiyu pouted and continued looking for other food.

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

Xu Jinhuan felt a bit sleepy, yawned, went to the toilet to relieve himself, washed his hands, and then browsed the comments on "Flappy Bird" on his phone. He walked back with a relaxed, travel-like feeling.

This is a shared restroom and hot water area between two waiting rooms, so the entrance to the waiting room is right outside the restroom.

Xu Jinhuan had just reached the corner when he suddenly paused and saw Chen Xingzhu walking into the waiting room from outside with a backpack, looking around as if she was looking for someone.

"When did you go out?"

Xu Jinhuan was a little surprised and laughed, "You can't find a seat so quickly? It's okay, I'll take you..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something and looked at Chen Xingzhu in front of him again. He noticed that although she was also wearing light blue jeans and a white T-shirt, the T-shirt had a smiling face printed on the front.

She was wearing a T-shirt with English letters printed on it this morning!

And the shoes and backpack are wrong too...

"Are you Chen Xingruo?"

Xu Jinhuan glanced back at the corner of the waiting room and saw Chen Xingzhu sitting with her parents. Then, looking at the person in front of her, she was a little confused. "What are you doing here?"

"I'll go to Huangshan with you!"

Chen Xingruo tilted her head slightly, her long, smooth black hair cascading around her neck. A smile curved her lips, her bright eyes sparkling like stars, her smile radiant and charming: "How is it? Aren't you surprised, brother?"
