Fang Nian stopped, his face was serious, and he stared at Lin Yucong: "Say it again!"

Even the tone of his words seemed to have weight.

"I...I couldn't find a suitable gift. The wallet is too tacky. If you want a creative lighter, I heard that you don't smoke..."

As he spoke, Lin Yucong's voice lowered.

Fang Nian glared at Lin Yucong: "If you don't learn from the good ones, you will learn from the bad ones!"

"Hurry up and go home, don't wander around in the street, it's annoying to look at!"

Lin Yucong, like a frustrated little daughter-in-law, whispered: "Well, I owe you a birthday gift first this time."

Fang Nian waved his hand without even looking back.

After returning to the staff community, Fang Nian held five small gift boxes in his left hand and took out the key with his right hand to open the door.

The movement is a bit awkward.

A voice came from behind: "Why don't you put things on the ground first?"

"ah!"

Fang Nian turned around and saw Guan Qiuhe leaning against the door, looking at him calmly.

"You're doing well in school, Xiao Fang."

Hearing this, Fang Nian said: "I don't know how so many people knew about my birthday and gave me gifts. This is the first time in history."

"Are they all girls?"

Guan Qiuhe hugged his arms and looked at Fang Nian.

Fang Nian remarked, "Boys don't like giving gifts either."

"Wash your hands and come eat."

Guan Qiuhe said, turned around and went in.

Fang Nian soon went to 501.

"Hey, Sister He prepared this, you're so polite."

As soon as Fang Nian entered the house, he saw the cake on the dining table.

"This is the first birthday in my life with a cake."

Guan Qiuhe raised his eyebrows: "First time?"

"Isn't it strange? This is Tangli." Fang Nian said with a smile.

Only then did Guan Qiuhe react.

In remote towns like Tangli, villages are scattered and formed into settlements;

A little further away, the town is only a dozen kilometers away. Transportation is inconvenient, and the roads in many places are not even hardened. Most families do not consume cakes.

She asked someone to bring the cake back from Tongfeng.

It's not that there isn't one on Tangli Street, there is only one shop that can make cakes. Guan Qiuhe looked at it but didn't buy it.

Guan Qiuhe said: "Happy birthday to you and make a wish."

Fang Nian shook his head: "I don't believe this, but thank you Sister He."

"Okay." Guan Qiuhe didn't say much.

"I hope you can have this day every year and have this day every year."

Fang Nian smiled and said, "Thank you."

Just after dinner, Lin Feng called and wished Fang Nian a happy birthday.

I just said two simple sentences.

Fang Nian is not surprised either.

This is not bad. In the past, when there were no mobile phones, there were no telephones.

No one in a rural family would have to call someone and then transfer someone for a birthday wish.

On this 17th birthday, Fang Nian did not treat Li Annan and the others to dinner as he did in his previous life.

I just brought some snacks to share with my classmates when I went to evening self-study.

I also gave one to Huang Lin and Zou Xuan in the next class as a return gift...

...On September 22, a little more than 650,000 yuan was credited to Fang Nian’s bank card.

After school in the afternoon, Fang Nian transferred 50,000 yuan to Guan Qiuhe's home computer for online banking to repay the loan.

Not even a cent more will be given away.

Including the excuse that Fang Nian was cheating on his meal, etc., they were all rejected.

In the end, Fang Nian didn't insist strongly and just said helplessly.

"Can you give me face and let me treat you to dinner another day?"

There is no way, the food is all ready today.

Guan Qiuhe nodded.

After the meal, Guan Qiuhe brought over two cups of tea as usual and asked casually: "I have 600,000 yuan now. Do you have any new ideas this time?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just feel like you are more interested in making money now, both in writing books and in stocks."

"I'm not really interested in making money."

Fang Nian answered seriously.

"My main job has always been studying, and writing books and stocks are side things. But now that I have hundreds of thousands, I hope to save enough money to buy a house in Shanghai next year."

The current housing prices in Shanghai are around 13,000 to 40,000 yuan.

600,000 is barely enough to buy a small two-bedroom apartment in full, or a down payment for a large apartment.

So Guan Qiuhe was not too surprised, but asked: "Are you going to Shanghai to go to university?"

Fang Nian nodded.

It stands to reason that with years of experience, you should not just save money to buy a house.

As he once did, he can afford almost everything money can buy.

But until the end, I was still full of regrets, and even life was no longer what it should be.

Fang Nian thought about how hard it was to return to life, and if he continued to do so, he would be somewhat affected by cerebral palsy.

Isn't it delicious to stay in Tangli No. 8 Middle School, enjoy the tail of youth, and occasionally spend a little money earned?

Guan Qiuhe looked at Fang Nian: "Honestly, have you ever wanted to live like the protagonist in your book, with money and leisure, nothing to do, and extra rewards for spending money."

Fang Nian nodded: "If it's possible, what's wrong with that?"

"I envy talented people who can express their thoughts in words." Guan Qiuhe said.

Fang Nian smiled and said nothing.

…………

…………

After attending evening self-study, Fang Nian returned to renting an apartment.

Sitting at the desk, looking out the window at the dark night sky.

The moon is not bright, the stars are not shining, and the unknown sounds of insects mix together to create a boring summer atmosphere.

And look at the bank card balance number on the web page.

The corners of Fang Nian's mouth slowly turned up in a gentle manner.

"Lu Weiyu, how are you now?"

When he read this name, Fang Nian seemed to see those narrow red and phoenix eyes again.

Black and white are distinct, clear and translucent, and there is always a smile in his eyes when looking at him.

"I miss you so much and want to see you."

"..."

The reason why Fang Nian clearly didn't want to be so tired and wanted to earn some pocket money was that he even made a lot of preparations for the first time before going to the stock market to pick up money, hoping to get the required funds at once.

It's all because I want to buy a house in Shanghai, so that I don't have to live around all the time.

After all, renting an apartment in a big city is quite troublesome.

It doesn’t need to be too big, with three or preferably four bedrooms of more than 100 square meters. It has a master bedroom and a guest bedroom, and there is also space to use as a study room for reading and writing. She can have a home in Shanghai that feels like a foreign country.

…

In the previous life, when Fang Nian met Lu Weiyu, he was no longer young.
