Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1344, Chapter 1331: Helping Others
When Luo Yihang returned to Ping'an Gou, it was already past 10 p.m.

The village was quiet; everyone must have gone to sleep.

Only a few lights were still on in the dormitory building.

Those are the little kids who guard the house; these lads don't sleep until midnight.

That's how it is when you live in a dormitory.

I glanced at my parents' side again; the lights were off, so they must be asleep too.

We'll talk about the beef and mutton we brought tomorrow.

Luo Yihang went straight home and unloaded the meat, wine, lotus root, milk skin, milk tofu, and other items from the trunk.

These are special products that the two old Party secretaries, Batu Chaolu and Erdeni, insisted on providing.

After tidying up, I lay down on the bed.

Oh, so comfortable, my own bed is the most comfortable.

As a result, it had barely touched the pillow.

the phone is ringing.

It was Qiangwa who called.

"Hey, Hangwa, I saw your post on WeChat Moments. Your kid's back?"

"Yeah, I just got home and I'm about to go to sleep."

"Stop sleeping, get up and have some fun! Hurry up and come over here."

"What's the matter?"

"Take your kid out for a late-night snack."

"What the hell??? Are you crazy? I'm not going!"

hang up the phone.

Luo Yihang got up and dressed while cursing.

Qiangwa is out of his mind. It's already 11 p.m., and he insists on having a late-night snack at his place.

This kid can't cook, so why go all that way to order takeout?

I can't refuse to go, or they'll start cursing me in the streets.

So annoying.

Luo Yihang put on his clothes, went out, and drove to Luojia Village.

Qiangwa still lives in the village, saying he's gotten used to it.

However, he no longer lives with his parents. He acquired a plot of land in the village, built his own small house, and lives happily by himself.

Only one room in the three-story building was lit up. It was so dark at night that it looked like a haunted house. But if a few people actually came, it wouldn't be so boring.

Luo Yihang got out of the car with a sour feeling and was about to knock on the door when he got there.

The door opened by itself.

Qiangwa came out from inside, wearing a tank top and shorts.

He directly told Luo Yihang, "Don't come in, let's go, let's go."

Then he shouted to the neighbor next door, "Minghai, let's go."

Oh, you're going out to eat. That's fine.

Luo Minghai lived next door; he also lived in a small building he had built himself.

The two houses are exactly the same, and they are haunted together at night.

Luo Minghai had been waiting for a while; before the words had even faded, he had already come out.

He was still wearing his rescue team uniform late at night—a leather jacket, jeans, and big leather boots—without seeming to mind the heat.

As soon as he stepped outside, he waved and said, "Brother Luo, it's been a long time! You know I saved two kids from drowning last month."

Luo Yihang: "..."

What?
So... so you're just going to force a compliment?
Shouldn't we go through the proper procedures first?
"I've heard of it, but I don't know the details," Luo Yihang replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Luo Minghai was even more delighted. "Brother Luo, let me tell you about it. It happened last month, but I don't remember the exact date. I think it was around 10:23 AM on the 4th of last month..."

Is it because you can't remember? You remember the exact time.

Luo Minghai was speaking with great enthusiasm.

Qiangwa reached out to stop him, "Hurry up and go eat. You two can talk on the way."

“Okay, Brother Luo, I’ll tell you more on the way.” Luo Minghai immediately stopped.

Luo Yihang nodded and took out his car keys. "Where is it? Want to drive my car?"

Qiangwa reached out to stop him again, saying, "I won't drive your car, it's hard to park there. I'll drive mine."

After saying that, he took out his keys and beeped twice. A car's headlights flashed at the door.

Luo Yihang chuckled when he saw the car, "Hey, when did Qiangwa get one of these cars? Staying true to his original aspirations."

What kind of car?

Xiao Wuling.

Qiangwa's first car was a second-hand Wuling minivan, a legendary car of its time.

Luo Yihang's first car was also a Wuling minivan, which cost more than 30,000 yuan.

That was no small sum back then; cucumbers and tomatoes cost fifteen yuan a pound, and it took a month to accumulate that amount.

After buying the car, he started selling mushrooms with Liu Piaoliang.

Thinking about it now, I still feel quite nostalgic.

However, the car in front of us is not the Wuling minivan, but a small, extremely small hatchback with only half a nose.

Wuling Bingo.

"Isn't this the kind of car a little girl drives? Why did you buy it?" Luo Yihang asked, puzzled.

"This car is easy to park," Qiangwa said, opened the door, got in, and drove off.

Luo Yihang muttered, "What kind of place is this? Is there really such a problem with parking in Tianhan?"

It's 11 o'clock, and there are few shops open outside. How can it be difficult to park so late at night?
Muttering to himself, Luo Yihang casually opened the passenger door.

Qiangwa gestured towards the back, "Sit in the back, there are people in the front."

"Who?"

"Suiwa".

Hey, Luo Yihang immediately objected, "Why is Suiwa in front? Did you recognize him as your godfather? Or did he finally agree to recognize you as his father?"

Listen to how complicated the relationship is—a father and son bound together by fate.

Luo Yihang muttered to himself as he went to the back seat.

I squeezed in next to Luo Minghai and listened to him continue.

This car is too small. With Luo Minghai being such a big guy, plus Luo Yihang, it's a bit cramped for the two of them to sit inside.

“That day I went out to run some errands and passed by Tianjiawan. Brother Luo, you know Tianjiawan, right? There’s a grasshopper ditch on the south side, a big pond that looks like a grasshopper.”

"As soon as I got there, I heard someone shouting, 'Help! Help!'"

"I turned my head and saw two heads in the pond, bobbing up and down, far from the shore."

"I told the two little ones countless times before summer vacation not to play in the water, but they were naughty and wouldn't listen..."

"I stepped on the gas and crashed into it, cracking the undercarriage. I was driving a small car that day, to meet someone for business, not my pickup truck..."

"I didn't care anymore, I got out of the car and plunged in..."

"I managed to lift both kids up and take them home. Their families were terrified."

"The mother was crying her heart out, sobbing and slapping the two little ones' bottoms until they were round and purple like eggplants. She was crying so hard, even harder than when they were drowning."

"He deserves it, he needs to be beaten to teach him a lesson."

"Luckily I ran into them, otherwise that family would have been finished. This is what we do when we join the rescue team..."

Luo Minghai was incredibly meticulous, recounting in great detail his heroic act of saving the child.

That excitement has lasted for over a month, and I'm still excited.

The satisfaction of fulfilling Maslow's fifth level of self-actualization needs is incredibly rewarding, and it lasts much longer than the satisfaction of physiological desires.

Eating, drinking, and having sex once in a while, no matter how great or exciting it is, you'll only miss it for a few days, maybe a month or two at most.

But if you save two children's lives, you can brag about it for years.

Luo Yihang initially responded, but later he didn't need to anymore; Luo Minghai could chat happily on his own.

Finally, it also added value.

"No wonder the veterans in the rescue team said that once you've saved someone, you really get addicted."

"Playing cards, fishing, and picking up girls are nothing compared to this kind of fun."

"My adrenaline surged when I was saving people."

"My adrenaline surged when I rescued the person."

"My adrenaline surged when I was recognized and appeared on TV."

"My adrenaline surged when I was bragging."

"When I'm about to die, I'll think back on how many lives I've saved in my life, and all these glorious deeds. My adrenaline will surge again, and I can live a little longer."

"This is what it feels like to die without regrets."

"Even if I really die, I can still pat my chest and say, 'I've spent my whole life challenging the King of Hell, and when I get there, he'll have to give me some leeway!'"

Wow! Luo Minghai has truly found his self-realization and value.

He chatted with Luo Yihang all the way from Luo Family Village to the city.

We talked about the entrance to Suiwa's residential compound.

Qiangwa stopped the car and flashed the headlights twice.

Two figures emerged furtively from inside the residential area.

Sui Wa and Su Jing.

The couple crouched low and jogged over, and Su Jing got into the passenger seat without being told.

Sui Wa consciously went to the back.

No wonder they wouldn't let us sit in the passenger seat; it turns out Su Jing was there.

It's inconvenient for women to squeeze in from the back.

This small car had three grown men crammed into the back seat, all stacked up on top of each other.

Luo Yihang was in the middle, with only half of his buttocks touching the seat.

Luo Minghai and Sui Wa stood sideways behind Luo Yihang, their heads touching.

They're still chatting there.

"Brother Sui, do you know I saved two children from drowning last month...?"

There's still no transition.

Suiwa hummed and straightened herself up, nodding casually as she replied, "I know, you said it yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before that."

...A repeat offender.

Two meanings.

So you two eat late-night snacks and talk about it every day?

Luo Yihang was "heartbroken." He thought it was specially arranged for his return, but it turned out he was just a side trip.

Su Jing, who was already impatient, patted Qiangwa and said, "Hurry up, hurry up. We just got Xiaoxing to sleep and sneaked out. Time is of the essence and the mission is important."

Having kids is tough; you have to put them to sleep before sneaking out for a late-night snack.

I feel like a thief in my own home.

Qiangwa stepped on the gas and started the car.

Su Jing then turned around and greeted her with delight, "Hangwa, you're back!"

I just noticed such a big, living person.

Luo Yihang nodded, looked at Su Jing, and then at Qiangwa.

He chuckled and joked, "In Qiangwa's car, the passenger seat is always occupied by other people's wives."

Thump! Luo Yihang was punched in the back by Suiwa.

"Hey, her husband is right here."

No way! He was twisting and turning like a pretzel in the back, still fighting with Luo Yihang for space. I really wanted to push his last remaining half of his butt off too.

"I didn't say anything." Luo Yihang turned his head and raised his eyebrows with a mischievous smile.

Su Jing, however, was counting on her fingers.

"I'm Sui Yong's wife, Sister Qin, Old Jiang's wife, and Sister Rui, Hangwa's wife..."

When Ding Rui was mentioned, Qiangwa chimed in.

"Our old squad leader won't let us sit down, go find her man."

"Hey, you're so petty and hold grudges," Luo Yihang said with a laugh. "It's just that when we were kids, I disciplined you for not doing your homework, for cheating on exams, for slacking off during cleaning... What else is there? Is it really worth holding a grudge for so many years?"

"What else? She even told the teacher and called her parents."

"What's up?" Suiwa chimed in.

"I cheated on the exam during my second year of high school."

"I remember now, the time you passed your English exam."

"Your kid is quite talented. He's only ever scored in the thirties, and that was just luck. If he suddenly got a sixty-five, everyone would know it was fake."

"I didn't copy it. I was just helping someone out. The class monitor's test paper fell on the ground, and I picked it up for him."

"Yes, yes, that's right. It's a pleasure to help others, it just means I take a long time to collect the items and only return them when I hand in my paper..."

Luo Yihang, Qiangwa, and Suiwa always bicker whenever they meet.

It's quite addictive to talk about those silly things from childhood.

They chatted and argued all the way.

We arrived at Beidajie Street, at the central square outside.

When did this place become a parking lot?

It's past 11 p.m., why are there so many cars?
Qiangwa drove around inside for a long time before finally finding half a spot and ramming his car into it.

This place was originally a square in the center of Tianhan City. It wasn't originally a parking lot. There were many trees planted there, and the parking spaces were marked with varying lengths.

It's convenient to park this little car.

If Luo Yihang had driven his car, there would have been no chance of finding a parking spot.

The car just stopped.

The people inside the car got out, chattering away.

Especially the three in the back row, they were twisting their waists and massaging their backs after getting off the bus, they finally felt relieved!

Exit the parking lot.

Luo Yihang was puzzled again, "When did Beidajie become a pedestrian street?"

Beidajie is the main commercial street in the center of Tianhan City, and Jiweilou is located on this street.

It's usually bustling with traffic, and the road is quite wide, with four lanes.

But today, there were mobile roadblocks in the middle of the road, and uniformed police officers were standing on the side.

"It just changed, only a few days ago." Qiangwa pointed to the newly erected sign next to him, "Look, vehicles are prohibited from passing through from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m.

what's going on?
Why aren't cars allowed to pass at night?

Even though there aren't many cars at night, why are they being stopped?

Walk a few steps to the intersection.

Hey, I ran into a familiar face again.

"Old Jiang, what are you doing here? It's so late and you're not keeping Sister Qin company. Why are you working the night shift?"

Old Jiang is on duty at the intersection, wearing his uniform.

Hearing the voice and seeing that it was Luo Yihang, he pointed and said, "Isn't this all your doing? We don't have enough manpower, so I had to come over too."

Luo Yihang pointed to himself, puzzled, and said, "Me? What does this have to do with me?"

I was just about to ask again.

Su Jing spoke up quickly, "Where's Sister Qin? Did you leave Sister Qin alone at home?"

Old Jiang quickly shook his head, "That won't do. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, and your sister Qin is being taken care of."

Suiwa nodded from behind, "Got it, you must have a lot of free time out here."

As he spoke, he gave me a look that said, "I understand you."

What do you know?

Old Jiang quickly denied it, "Absolutely not, it's just that we don't have enough manpower, we have a mission."

Nobody believes it.

With both the father-in-law and mother-in-law at home, the young son-in-law is bound to have a hard time.

What's more, Old Jiang got someone's daughter pregnant before they even got married.

Shi Qin is pregnant.

The dates are around Sayram Lake.

Passion burned fiercely, and the two couldn't resist; they hadn't taken proper precautions.

They had just returned from the proposal at Sayram Lake and were already preparing for their wedding.

First, both sets of parents met.

That's easy to say; we've known each other for so many years.

This time it's just a formal meeting to set a date.

After that, things got really tiring: taking wedding photos, booking the banquet, making wedding dresses, and even thinking about renovating the new house.

It took several months of work.

Shi Qin vomited.

When they checked with Su Jing, they found out she was three months pregnant.

Oh no, the wedding can't go on. We can't let the bride get married while she's heavily pregnant.

We can only give birth to the child first and then figure out what to do next.

Then, in front of his father-in-law, Chiang Kai-shek was treated like dirt, as if he were a generation inferior and acted like a grandson.

Should!
It makes you not take proper precautions.
