Chapter 7 "Red Sorghum"

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Having secrets within oneself, the safety of the community is of utmost importance

Jiang Hao clenched his fist and declared that from now on, this family will be supported by me

Three years old community, high-rise, monthly price 3800, this price is definitely not low in Binhai City, Jiang Hao is interested not only in the house but also in the community management, which is relatively strict here, registration is required upon entry, and a card is necessary for driving in

A single apartment, approximately 50 square meters, well-decorated, ready to move in with just a suitcase. The most important aspect is that it should be sunny, and the community must be quiet and safe

The first thing Jiang Hao did with this money was to send 20,000 yuan back home. It was not that he did not want to send more, but he was afraid of scaring his parents. Even so, he still received a call from his father.

Then let's be a bit extravagant and rent an apartment for ourselves

On that afternoon, the representatives from Qimao Network met with Jiang Hao. After inspecting the watch, they confirmed its authenticity and signed a contract. Currently, Qimao Network is expanding its business, offering significant discounts. The starting price was set at 300,000, with no handling fees prior to the auction. Jiang Hao would still retain possession of the watch, and they would only charge a 3% handling fee on the final transaction price, which also includes subsequent transaction services

After deducting the handling fees, Jiang Hao received nearly 350,000

Previously, he did not have the money to pay the rent, so he was preparing to rent a basement. Now that he has the money, he certainly does not need to live in a basement anymore. However, after looking at this small room, Jiang Hao feels it is very necessary for him to change to another place

Jiang Hao opened his eyes and saw dust leisurely floating in the sunlight. He smiled broadly and blew a breath towards the dust, which immediately began to dance in the air.

"The best kind of sorghum liquor, as seen in the movies."

The family has lost its source of income, and there is still the need to pay for the father's medical treatment, plunging their lives into a difficult situation. Fortunately, Jiang Hao is about to graduate and needs to earn money, so there was no time to wait and choose; he plunged headlong into the ranks of insurance salespeople.

The staff smiled and did not mention the price, as this is a valued customer

There is no so-called bidding competition; it is mostly a wait-and-see approach, after all, this is something worth hundreds of thousands. Jiang Hao feels somewhat anxious, as it would be awkward if no one buys it. The next afternoon, someone finally placed a bid, and Jiang Hao could finally relax.

Task: Enter the world of 'Red Sorghum' and collect one hundred jars of sorghum liquor. May I ask if the collector is accepting the order

The sunlight streams into the room, making the house feel warm and cozy. Standing by the window and looking down, one can still see the distant shadow of the Han River.

Upon waking from a deep sleep, the sun shines into the room

Jiang Hao said with a smile, "Dad, I made a big deal; this is the commission plus the bonus, a reward from the company. There are many expenses at home, so I sent it over to you."

"Why did you suddenly send so much money home? Where did you get the money from?" asked Father Jiang

It is not that he dislikes this place; he is currently engaged in a collection task and must have a secure and confidential independent space

Jiang Hao's request is not unusual; such houses are easy to find. As long as there is money, everything is not a problem. Before long, the agent found suitable properties and introduced them to Jiang Hao one by one

After finishing the task, Jiang Hao did not directly accept the task as he did last time. Instead, he closed the system panel and opened Migu on his computer to play the movie "Red Sorghum".

"My illness is actually nothing much, it just burdens others and prevents me from working," said Father Jiang

After visiting several places, Jiang Hao finally selected an apartment, measuring 63 square meters, with luxurious and exquisite decoration. It is fully equipped with broadband wireless internet, furniture, a bed, a washing machine, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a bathroom, a water heater, a kitchen, a television, a sofa, heating, and a wardrobe. Everything is included, making it absolutely ready for immediate move-in.

He has always hoped that every day upon waking, his room would be filled with sunlight

Jiang Hao felt that it was necessary for him to enhance his skills

The system prompts that a customer who watched the movie 'Red Sorghum' wishes to taste the flavor of sorghum liquor and has placed an order to purchase one hundred jars of sorghum liquor

350,000 is a substantial amount of money for Jiang Hao, whether in the past or present

In fact, my father must have been suffering from this illness for two years already. At first, he experienced back pain, and later his body became stiff and his joints swollen. However, my father endured it all and concealed his condition, solely to save on medical expenses to support his children's education. The year before last, my father's hands became deformed, and he could no longer continue, which is why he had no choice but to return home

Finding a place to rent by oneself may be cheaper, as rental agencies charge service fees, making it slightly more expensive. However, in order to save time and avoid hassle, Jiang Hao still decided to go with a rental agency

Jiang Hao's home is in the countryside, and both of his parents are genuine farmers. He has a younger brother and a younger sister; his brother is in his third year of high school this year and will take the college entrance examination next year, while his sister is still in her first year of high school. The family bears a considerable burden.

"Dad, listen to me, make sure to take your medicine. When I return, I will take you to a better hospital for a check-up. Rheumatism is not a serious illness; it should be treatable." Jiang Hao said

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and Father Jiang said earnestly: "I know it is not easy to work outside, do not tire yourself too much, and do not shortchange yourself either"

At that moment, the system suddenly displayed a new task notification

Having resolved the matters at home, the next step is to consider the issue of the house

Fortunately, Jiang's father was skilled in carpentry and worked at a construction site, relying on this craft to support his family and provide for the education of his three children, including Jiang Hao. However, two years ago, their father was suddenly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a challenging illness for which, to date, there are no effective treatments worldwide, and the only option is to take medication to alleviate the pain.

Jiang Hao stared at the website, where his watch was featured on the homepage. Many people left comments expressing their admiration for the watch, lamenting that they could not afford it.

Hehehe, very good

Subsequently, the price gradually increased, and after three days, it stabilized at 358,000. The personnel from the website brought the client over, and both parties verified the watch again. The other party also brought someone knowledgeable, and ultimately, a transaction was concluded

What kind of house does the gentleman need?" The housing rental staff asked Jiang Hao with a smile, referring to a specific term known as housing rental specialist.

Although this is a film from 1987, thirty years have passed, and it still appears quite captivating today. However, Jiang Hao also realizes that this film contains certain dangers, featuring bandits and ultimately the appearance of Japanese invaders.

After finishing the conversation with his father, his mother took the phone and gave him a series of reminders, urging Jiang Hao to take good care of himself while being alone outside. Jiang Hao continuously responded affirmatively, and it took him more than ten minutes to finally hang up the phone

After relocating, Jiang Hao decided to host a settling-in dinner for himself. He indulged in a hearty meal at a hot pot restaurant not far down the street, drank two bottles of beer, strolled around the road outside the community for a couple of laps to take in the surroundings, returned home, took a hot shower, and comfortably lay down on the large bed, feeling at ease

No problem, I will search for the property for you right now, please hold on

I know, Dad, I am doing quite well. You must not hesitate to take your medication; your illness needs to be managed, and you cannot stop taking the medicine. You and Mom should not hold back on your meals either. Please send a little more living expenses to my younger brother, and buy my little sister a couple of new clothes. I will definitely earn more money in the future than I do now, and I will be able to support my younger siblings' education and your living expenses.
