Rebirth Must Be Happy

"It's really snowing!"

As they arrived outside his maternal grandfather's village, a light snow began to fall from the gloomy sky. Song Zhiyu, who was sitting in the back seat with Xu Jinhuan, opened the car window, reached out and caught two snowflakes, and said in surprise, "I can't believe it, the weather forecast was actually accurate this time."

Xu Jinhuan yawned and said with disdain, "It's cold. If you want some fresh air, stick your head out."

"I'm not turning it off, you'll freeze to death!"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him, but had already closed the car window. She leaned back in her seat and sighed heavily. Before Xu Jinhuan could ask her why she sighed, she heard Song Xiaohui in the front also sigh.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Mom, why are you sighing?"

"It's still better to have a car."

Song Xiaohui sighed, "No matter how much it costs, whether it's 100,000 or 1 million, at least it's not cold on snowy days and we won't get wet in the rain... We never dared to imagine that our family could buy a car before."

"It's okay, my brother said cars will get cheaper and cheaper in the future."

Song Zhiyu said with a grin, "Then more and more people will be able to buy cars, and they'll be able to say in their cars, 'It's so good to have a car.'"

Xu Haiguang laughed and said, "He's a game developer, and he knows about cars?"

Song Xiaohui said, "Just focus on making money. With money, you can buy any car you want."

"Aunt, Uncle, don't you know?"

Song Zhiyu blinked, glanced at Xu Jinhuan with a hint of schadenfreude, and smiled at Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui in front of her, "My brother calls you guys all the time, didn't he tell you?"

Song Xiaohui turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

Song Zhiyu didn't say anything at first, but turned to look at Xu Jinhuan. Xu Jinhuan gave him a disdainful look and naturally didn't bother to stop him.

He didn't tell his parents because it was unnecessary, and he wanted to avoid them scolding him if they found out. It wasn't like he was really hiding anything.

"My brother is making games now, isn't he collaborating with Tencent?"

Song Zhiyu explained, "He wants to make money in the future, then quit this job and start his own business, like building cars..."

"Why bother building cars when everything else is fine?"

Sure enough, before Song Xiaohui even understood the situation, she couldn't help but start criticizing, "Isn't your game very profitable?"

"Besides, building cars isn't like typing on a keyboard; one wrong move and someone could die..."

Whether it's Xu Haiguang or Song Xiaohui, they had long since given up on giving their son any guidance in his career; it was all just empty talk.

Since Xu Jinhuan wouldn't listen anyway, it's better to just say it directly to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

"Sister Xingzhu has checked. We can find someone else to do it first, that way the investment will be smaller."

Song Zhiyu seemed to have done a lot of research. As the vehicle drove into the village, she said to Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui, "But if the cars sell well, it will be difficult if production can't keep up... But building our own factory is too expensive, probably tens of billions."

"Hundreds of billions?"

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui were both shocked. "You could pave a factory with money, is making a car really that expensive?"

"Then I don't understand."

Song Zhiyu turned to look at Xu Jinhuan, who said, "In big cities, the land for building factories alone costs hundreds of millions, not to mention the machinery and such... It's still far from being finalized, so there's no need to worry about these things."

That's what they say, but after the BYD Dynasty trademark incident, Xu Jinhuan is now very aware of the crisis and is preparing to make preparations as soon as possible.

At least you need to register the company first and then set up a research and development team, because I vaguely remember that a few years later there will be approval conditions for new energy vehicles with time limits for research and development. New forces such as NIO and XPeng were stuck for quite a while because of these conditions.

"Why did you change cars?"

Although it had snowed, it was still close to the end of the year. After entering the village, the family still met villagers by the roadside. As Xu Jinhuan's fame grew, the family's treatment on both sides of the family's life was no longer the same. Therefore, Xu Haiguang simply lowered the window to greet them, but the villagers were exceptionally enthusiastic.

After a few warm greetings, the other person seemed to notice that Xu Haiguang wasn't driving the Haval, so he asked, half-flatteringly and half-probingly, "This car looks quite expensive!"

"Huanhuan borrowed someone else's car, it's called a Land Rover." Xu Haiguang didn't deliberately show off, but since he mentioned the brand, he still had a bit of vanity, and laughed, "It's definitely more fun to drive than a Haval..."

"This is a Land Rover?"

The other party clicked their tongues in surprise, and Xu Jinhuan rolled down the car window to greet them. Because the wind and snow were getting heavier, they didn't chat for long and soon arrived at his grandfather's house.

Grandpa and Grandma knew they were coming. Xu Haiguang parked the car at the gate and got out. He saw the big iron gate open and Grandpa, wearing a hat and with his hands behind his back, came out. He looked at his daughter and son-in-law and their family with a happy smile on his face, and his wrinkles seemed to have faded a lot.

"grandfather!"

Instead of helping to move things, Song Zhiyu came over and acted coquettishly, "I dragged my brother over here to see you and Grandma... Did you miss me?"

"Think, think."

Song Xiaofeng hasn't come back much in the past two years. Although his maternal grandparents have no worries about food and clothing, and with their grandson's recent "success," they are surrounded by compliments throughout the village, making their lives incredibly comfortable.

However, with the New Year approaching, the elderly couple were alone at home and inevitably felt lonely. So, seeing their daughter and son-in-law bring their granddaughter home naturally brought them joy.

Even Da Huang was released ahead of time and was no longer tied up. Hearing the noise, it ran over before Grandma came out, making two excited whimpering sounds, and rubbed against Xu Jinhuan and Song Zhiyu.

"Oh my, you're so excited?"

Xu Jinhuan found herself somewhat affected by Da Huang's emotions, so she recorded a video of it and posted it in the group chat. Surprisingly, the first person to reply was Chen Xingruo.
"Waaaah, I miss my dog!"

Song Zhiyu couldn't help but type a reply: "This is Big Yellow, not Little Yellow. Can you recognize it?"

Chen Xingruo: "I didn't say it was Little Yellow, I said it was the dog!"

Song Zhiyu: "You don't recognize me?"

Chen Xingruo: "I'm not as blind as you."

The two bickered as usual, and Xu Jinhuan didn't get involved. She helped carry the things into the house and saw that her maternal grandparents were still glancing at the car. She couldn't help but sigh and say, "Stop looking. Chen Xingzhu is in Beijing and hasn't come back. Xie Wanqing went to her grandparents' house today."

"I didn't even ask them if they came or not."

Grandma looked disappointed, but still wouldn't admit it. She continued, "Didn't you say your new house was right next door? If we go to your place, we can see it, right?"

Xu Jinhuan asked, "Would you like to move in with us?"

"Staying for two days is fine, but staying for an extended period is not allowed."

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui had discussed bringing the elderly couple to live in the city, since the house was now empty. However, both the maternal grandparents refused to move to the city.

Since they were in good health, Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui didn't try to persuade them further, because they knew that living in the countryside was more comfortable for them, and if they were forced to move there, they might not be able to get used to it.

Xu Jinhuan had other plans for the afternoon, and seeing that the snow was still falling, he was worried that the snow would be thick and the roads slippery if it got late. So after having lunch there, the family did not stay long and got back in the car and set off back to the city.

After arriving home, Xu Jinhuan went upstairs to get his things, preparing to go to Kong Lingyu's house. Song Zhiyu, seemingly lost in thought, helped him carry a gift box and asked in a nonchalant tone, "Brother, can I come with you?"

If it were before, Xu Jinhuan would definitely have said "no," but now that they were sleeping together, her mindset had changed somewhat—mainly because she felt guilty. Hearing her ask this, she couldn't bring herself to refuse and sighed, "Of course you can."

"Then I'll go with you, to get some fresh air."

Song Zhiyu spoke as if she had never left the house, and seemed very happy. "Besides, since Sister Xingzhu isn't coming back, I'll go to her house to visit her. After all, Aunt Kong used to come to our house often."

"let's go."

Xu Jinhuan drove her to Kong Lingyu's house. After parking the car, they carried their things upstairs together. After ringing the doorbell, they soon heard footsteps inside. Li Yunxue opened the door and saw Xu Jinhuan. Her face immediately lit up with surprise and joy: "Brother Jinhuan, you're here!"

Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Am I invisible?"

"It's not surprising to see you."

Li Yunxue rolled her eyes at her. The two were in adjacent classes at school, so they didn't see each other every day, but they were pretty familiar with each other. "Brother Jinhuan, come in quickly... Dad, Mom, Brother Jinhuan is here!"

Xu Jinhuan led the pouting Song Zhiyu inside, only to find that Li Gaoyuan and Kong Lingyu had other guests, who appeared to be a family of three. Xu Jinhuan had been talking to Li Gaoyuan and Kong Lingyu, but turned to look when they heard the commotion. (End of Chapter)
