In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 30 New Year’s Eve
On the snow-covered road, Yu Dawei pulled a sled, humming a song. The midday sun pierced through the white breath he exhaled, turning it into golden particles in an instant.

Occasionally, magpies with black and white feathers would appear in the trees on both sides, chirping at the couple before spreading their wings and flying westward.

Yu Dawei watched the magpie fly away, whistling as he did so, looking quite pleased with himself.

They probably guessed that someone's newly bought car would definitely have problems.

Let's see if this brother-in-law who looks down on me will stoop so low as to come looking for me.

Whether he looks for it or not, he won't lose anything.

Sitting on the sled, Han Jingfan watched Yu Dawei's back. Although she didn't know why he was so happy, it was still quite nice.

After being together for so long, the other person has always had a long face. Now, if they smile more, it will be better for both the child and her.

The two quickly returned home, lit the stove, and warmed the house. Yu Dawei hurriedly prepared some hot food and sent it over to Da Bai next door.

Even with its long white fur covering it, Baymax looked noticeably thinner after giving birth.

"Big Black, Little White, Cuihua, and Gou Shengzi." Yu Dawei placed the four slightly grown puppies in front of his feet. "Be nicer to your mother from now on, especially you, Gou Shengzi! Every time you suckle, you bite her so hard, and if I see Big White howling in pain, I'll beat you until you shit yourself."

"Woof woof woof!" Gou Shengzi seemed very unconvinced, twisting his body and letting out a childish roar, ready to fight Yu Dawei.

The other three puppies, seeing Gou Shengzi go crazy, all trembled and huddled in Big White's arms.

"Hey! Your temper's gotten worse these past few days!" Yu Dawei picked up a worn-out shoe sole from the ground, grabbed the dog by the patterned neck with one hand, and slapped its bottom with the other. "Screw you again! If you yell at me again!"

The sound of "slap slap slap" continued incessantly.

The little dog, Gou Shengzi, trembled in pain, and let out a painful howl.

Yu Dawei felt it was about time. Da Bai's staring eyes clearly showed his heartache, so he hurriedly put Gou Shengzi into Da Bai's arms.

As a result, the dog, who had been so obedient, endured the pain, got up again, raised its head, and was about to rush out with its little legs!
However, the next moment, four little feet tripped on the tattered quilt, and with a "thud," Gou Shengzi's chin hit the hard kang (a heated brick bed), causing him to burst into tears from the pain.

"Woof woof woof." Even so, the little guy still stubbornly got up, wanting to fight Yu Dawei.

Yu Dawei squatted down, tilting his head, looking at Gou Shengzi with his two-faced expression. This dog was so ugly, and its personality was so nasty.

He was considering giving the dog away, but he figured no one would want it. If all else failed, he'd raise it until it grew bigger and then kill it for meat.

Upon hearing this idea, Gou Shengzi seemed to see something through Yu Dawei's eyes, and immediately stood still, not daring to move an inch.

The constant barking suddenly stopped.

However, the look in its eyes as it gazed at Yu Dawei remained stubborn, like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard.

"This is interesting." Yu Dawei looked the ugly puppy over and over again, and finally reached out to pat its head. "I'll spare your life for now."

"When you grow up, if you dare not properly guard the house for me, hmph~"

After Yu Dawei left, Da Bai came out of the kennel, stretched out its mouth and bit Gou Shengzi's neck, then carried it back to the kennel, gently licking the child's tender, unkempt fur with its tongue.

This is her first litter of puppies. Although she doesn't know what the future holds for these puppies, as a mother, she will give them the best.

----

On the sixth day after the Lunar New Year, Yu Dawei went to the town. Before leaving, he sent his wife to his mother's house. This time, his mother was not unwilling. Instead, she showed concern for her daughter-in-law.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that her unborn grandson played a part in it.

Yu Dawei finally asked the old man to take care of Da Bai and the puppies every day, and it would be best if the stove and kang could be heated during the day.

The old man waved his hand impatiently and said, "Mind your own business."

He was initially happy for two days after his silly son started taking care of everything, but then he got a little annoyed.

Especially when repairing cars together, Yu Dawei would patiently and repeatedly emphasize the details when installing many delicate parts, fearing that something might go wrong. This infuriated Yu Laonian so much that he wanted to quit on the spot. He thought to himself, "I've been a master mechanic my whole life, am I not as good as this half-grown kid?"
However, I ultimately acknowledge Yu Dawei's style of doing things, which is increasingly similar to my own cautious and prudent approach when I was younger.

Whether there are thieves or not, one must guard against them for a thousand days; sooner or later, the high walls will be piled high with grain. This is his life story—tiring, but at least he made no mistakes.

As for Yu Dawei, even if he becomes more and more like him, Old Man Yu feels that this kid will definitely not be a second version of himself.

You can tell what a person will be like at three years old; this kid was born with an adventurous spirit.

"Take risks that others dare not take, and walk paths that others dare not walk." This is what Yu Dawei told him in his third year of junior high school.

Upon hearing this, the old man was furious. Wasn't this utterly stupid?

If life were lived according to those two sentences of his, it would definitely not be good.

In fact, the later increase in interest rates and the borrowing of money to buy equipment confirmed the old man's suspicions, but now he was at ease with this child.

As Yu Laonian watched the bus leave the village, he couldn't help but smile. With his hands behind his back, he breathed in the cool morning air and walked towards the front yard (Yu Dawei's house).

"Uncle Jiu, where are you going so early in the morning?"

"Go to your eldest son's place and help him look after the house."

……

"Hey, Uncle Jiu, so early."

"Okay, let's go check on Dawei's house."

People in the village who encountered Yu Laonian all felt it was very strange.

After all, Yu Laonian looked down on his eldest son, who was practically a bald louse in the village, it was obvious.

But what's going on today? Did the sun rise in the west?

Or did Yu Dawei earn money working in the town? But Yu Laonian isn't the kind of person who fawns over the powerful.

In short, another interesting thing has happened in the village.

It seems that Yu Dawei's relationship with his father has improved.

On the other side, Yu Dawei had just arrived in town when he first unlocked the door and glanced at the accessories inside.

The key was specially made for Yu Dawei by Duan Dahai before he left before the New Year, in case he had an emergency and couldn't open the door.

After Yu Dawei checked every single part, big and small, he finally felt relieved.

There's a saying, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy," which is quite true.

After finishing with the parts, he turned around and lit the stove to warm the house. Not long after, Duan Dahai arrived.

The two agreed to arrive today and start working tomorrow.

However, as soon as Duan Dahai arrived, he took Yu Dawei out to eat.

According to Brother Duan, every year before starting work at the beginning of the year, he has to have a good meal, hoping for a good start to the year!

Yu Dawei didn't stand on ceremony and followed Brother Duan around, eating and drinking for free.

Later that afternoon, I went to Boss Liang's farm machinery parts shop again. Who knew that this guy had the same temperament as Duan Dahai and insisted on having a good meal before opening the shop the next day.

They also invited Duan Dahai along.

So, on his first day in town, Yu Dawei spent it in a state of constant hunger and suffering.
