Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

Chapter 658 Visiting the Grave

Hao Liang didn't blame Hao Hai and went to the side hall to move the fireworks he bought. Although fireworks cannot be set off in the city now, they can still be set off in the countryside.

The uncle and Hao Liang's mother told Meng Mengdi that they were going home to invite the Stove Lord when Hao Liang was moving the fireworks, and left first.

After Hao Liang had moved the fireworks, he called Meng Wendi, who had already cleared the dining table, and asked her to come out and watch the fireworks.

Meng Mengdi heard Hao Liang's shout and said to Hao Hai, "Xiao Hai, let's go out and watch your father set off fireworks. Your father bought so many just to make you happy."

With that said, Meng Mengdi took Hao Hai to the yard with her. Hao Liang also took out a cigarette, lit one, and lit the arranged fireworks one by one.

As the fireworks exploded one after another in the sky, Meng Mengdi excitedly took out her mobile phone to take pictures, and quickly sent them to her WeChat circle of friends.

I took another video and uploaded it to Douyin.

As soon as Meng Mengdi finished sending the message, Feng Moyan, who was celebrating the New Year in the provincial capital, sent a video call to Meng Mengdi, and Meng Mengdi also picked up the call.

"Little aunt, we are watching the fireworks over there. The photos you sent are so beautiful." Feng Moyan asked as soon as the call was connected.

"At our house, your uncle bought a lot of fireworks, and there are still many that have not been set off. Let me show them to you." Meng Mengdi turned the camera around and showed it to Feng Moyan.

"So many. I have grown up and I have never set off fireworks in person. If I had known that I would come to your house to celebrate the New Year, I would be so envious of me."

"This year has already passed. How about you tell the teacher and the others next year and they all come to my house to celebrate the New Year. I will ask your uncle to buy more so that you can have enough."

"Well, then it's agreed. I'll let my grandpa come to your house to celebrate the New Year next year. You don't know. There is no atmosphere at all during the New Year in this provincial capital. It's not as lively as Christmas."

Meng Mengdi and Feng Moyan chatted for a while and then hung up the video.

Hao Liang had set off fireworks at home for a long time, but no children from the village came to join in the fun.

Only a few elderly people of a certain age in the village saw the fireworks rising from Hao Liang's house. They stood on the side of the road and watched for a while.

It seems that children nowadays are not interested in fireworks anymore, they are not as good as the cartoons on TV.

Hao Hai just looked at it for a while, then handed the red envelope in the bag to Meng Mengdi and said, "Mom, I'm going back to read. You can keep this new year's money."

"Xiaohai, you keep this New Year's money for yourself, why are you giving it to your mother? If you don't like watching fireworks, just watch TV. What kind of books are you reading during the Chinese New Year?"

"I have so much money to keep for myself, but I'd rather save it for you, mom. There's nothing interesting to watch on TV, so I went to my room to read."

With that said, Hao Hai stuffed the red envelope into Meng Mengdi's hand and went back to his room to read.

Hao Liang looked at Hao Hai leaving, lit the last few fireworks, and then went back to the room to read a book. Hao Liang didn't really like the excitement, so since Hao Hai didn't like it, forget it.

Hao Liang didn't know why Hao Hai worked so hard. He seemed to like reading and studying. There was no need for Hao Liang or the others to urge him.

He and Meng Mengdi both learned from their cousin's experience of suppressing Xuanxuan's studies and never made any mandatory requirements for Hao Hai's studies.

There are no interest classes or study classes for Hao Hai. But Hao Hai seems to like reading. Sometimes he can sit next to Hao Liang and read with Hao Liang for two hours.

After reading the book for a while, Hao Liang still planned to chat with Hao Hai, so he took the book, walked to Hao Hai's room, and said to Hao Hai. "Xiao Hai, you don't need to read for this Chinese New Year. Go down and play."

"There's nothing fun. I think reading is more interesting. Aren't you reading too?" Hao Hai replied seriously.

Hao Liang looked at the book in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer Hao Hai. In his heart, he was wondering if he usually liked reading and studying, which affected Hao Hai.

Just when Hao Liang was trying to persuade Hao Hai to play more like other children, Meng Mengdi also came up from downstairs and said to Hao Hai.

"Xiao Hai, go downstairs with your mother to watch TV. Just think of it as your compensation for the Chinese New Year. Your father only reads books and doesn't even watch TV with your mother."

After hearing what Meng Mengdi said, Hao Hai put down the book and walked down with Meng Mengdi and Hao Liang.

"Xiao Hai, why are you working so hard? You did very well in this final exam." Meng Mengdi asked Hao Hai.

"I want to be a doctor. If I don't study well, I won't be able to go to college. I won't be able to be a doctor." Hao Hai said seriously.

"Xiao Hai, what's the benefit of being a doctor? Dad, I have so many companies, so they all belong to you. Now that you're a doctor, who will take care of this company?" Hao Liang said immediately.

"I don't know. I am quite a doctor. My mother died because of illness. I want to be a doctor." Hao Hai said seriously.

"I will be a doctor in the future. To be a doctor, you also need to be in good health. Xiaohai, you can't read every day like you are now. You should take a proper rest."

As she spoke, Meng Mengdi looked at Hao Liang, who still wanted to speak, and said to Hao Liang, "The child is still so young, why are you telling him this? Go read your book, and don't disturb us two."

Then he took the fruit, washed it, put it on a plate, and placed it in front of Hao Hai. He motioned for Hao Hai to eat some.

On New Year's Day, Hao Liang took Hao Hai and Meng Mengdi to the grave of Hao Liang's father and paid homage.

After returning from the grave, Hao Liang and Meng Mengdi took gifts and went to their uncle and his mother's home. Then they took them to Zheng Wenjing's mother's home.

"Auntie, we are here to see you." Meng Mengdi came into the room and shouted to Zheng Wenjing's mother.

"Grandma!" Hao Hai hugged his grandmother and shouted.

"Xiaohai, Mengmeng. Sit down and I'll pour you tea." Zheng Wenjing's mother said enthusiastically to Meng Mengdi, leaving Hao Liang aside.

"Auntie, let's bring the child over to visit her mother's grave. Don't make this tea yet. We can make it when we get back."

"Well, I won't go. Xiaohai, the child, has gained a lot of weight and is also a bit paler. Mengmeng, let me thank you on behalf of his mother." Zheng Wenjing's mother pulled Meng Mengdi and said.

"Auntie, don't say that. Xiaohai is also my child. Let's go first." After saying that, he took the things for worship and went with Hao Liang to the cemetery where Zheng Wenjing was buried.

Hao Liang and the others came to Zheng Wenjing's cemetery, lit incense and candles, and asked Hao Hai to bow a few times.

After paying his respects, Hao Hai stood in front of the cemetery, tears falling from his eyes.

Hao Liang wanted to comfort him, but was held back by Meng Mengdi.

After a while, Hao Hai wiped his eyes and stood up from the tombstone. He came to Meng Mengdi and said to Meng Mengdi.

"Mom, let's go back. I told my mother that the new mother is very good to me, so she can rest assured."

"Xiaohai is so sensible. Let's go down first and let your father stay for a while to accompany your mother." Meng Mengdi rolled her eyes at Hao Liang and said.

Hao Liang watched Meng Mengdi and Hao Hai walking hand in hand towards the outside of the cemetery. Hao Liang arrived in front of Zheng Wenjing's tomb, touched Zheng Wenjing's tombstone, and said in a low voice.

"Zheng Wenjing, thank you for teaching Xiaohai to be so sensible. Although he has never called me dad yet."

As he spoke, Hao Liang unconsciously took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before continuing to mutter to himself.

"Actually, I don't blame him. After all, I am a bastard myself. Even if you told me he was my son, I secretly took a paternity test."

After Hao Liang finished speaking, he took a few more puffs of cigarette and continued.

"Zheng Wenjing, you can't blame me when I go for a paternity test. The doctor told me that I can't have a child. You suddenly told me that I have such a big son. Now I have such a big family fortune. I don't want to

Maybe just because Xiaohai looks like me, I would give it to him, right?"

Hao Liang took a few more puffs and complained about Zheng Wenjing's grave.

"But you too, forget it if you didn't tell me when you were pregnant, but you can tell me when you are born. At least you won't have to suffer so hard. Forget it, you take care of yourself down there, I will raise your son

The successful man, whether he calls me or not, is still my son, and my share of the family property will be left to him. Mengmeng and I have agreed. I will bring my children to see you next time. Thank you."

Hao Liang said as he took out the fireworks he brought, lit them with a half-smoked cigarette, threw the cigarette butts on the ground, and walked towards the outside of the cemetery.
