"Uncle, don't worry. As long as it's not a human-caused problem, our car will be replaced within three years and repaired within ten years. Even if it breaks down, our car is insured, and the insurance company will definitely compensate you. The original price of this car was 120 million, but I've managed to get you a discounted price of 100 million, which saves you 20. We'll also give you a gas card worth 3000..." the young man said.

"Brother Wei, is this the car your family wants to buy?" At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked over behind Xue Hua.

"Yes, but we're all laymen. This young man has been talking for a long time, but we still don't understand. Can you take a look for us?" Wei Jianguo said.

"Hehehe, this car is not bad..." The middle-aged man walked around the car, looked at the engine, opened the hood, sat in the driver's seat, and tried it out. "It's a new car, it can be driven..."

"Uncle, how about it? We didn't lie to you, did we?" The young man laughed.

"Dongzi, try starting a fire..." Wei Jianguo said.

"Okay..." The middle-aged man looked at the fuel gauge, and sure enough, it showed that the fuel tank was full of gasoline.

laugh……

A sizzling sound followed by the soft hum of an engine.

The middle-aged man listened for a long time but couldn't detect any noise. He nodded, turned off the engine, got out of the car, and said to Wei Jianguo, "Brother Wei, I've checked everything. There's nothing wrong with the car..."

"Uncle, do you believe me now?" the young man said.

"Since Dongzi said so, I believe him. You're really something, young man. Aren't you afraid I was just joking? You dare to send the car over? A car that's been driven over probably won't sell well, right?" Wei Jianguo said.

"Hehe, uncle, if this deal doesn't go through, today will be my last day. Why should I care about those things?" the young man laughed.

"Okay, let's complete the formalities now, and then transfer the money via online banking in a bit," Wei Jianguo said.

"Alright, you're a straightforward man, we've got everything ready..." The young man took out various documents and contracts from his backpack.

After nearly an hour of work, the Mercedes finally became the Wei family's car.

"Oh no, we're going to be late..." The couple was still basking in the joy of buying a car when they suddenly glanced at their watches and realized, oh my god, in just ten minutes it would be time for class.

"Dongzi, please help us, drive us to school..." Wei Jianguo said.

"Sure! I've been wanting to drive a Mercedes for a while now, but don't be scared if I'm driving..." Dongzi said excitedly.

"It's too late, hurry up..." Wei Jianguo hurriedly tidied his appearance in front of the mirror.

Xue Hua had also finished combing her hair.

So, the Mercedes slowly drove out of the Sunshine Community and headed towards the No. 1 Middle School in the West District.

When Dongzi was young, he was a race car driver. It is said that he drove quite recklessly. Later, when he got older, he opened a car repair shop and became his own boss. Over the years, he has made a lot of money. However, perhaps it is a bad habit he developed when he was a race car driver. When he sees a car in front of him, he wants to overtake it, and his speed can easily exceed 100 km/h.

The Mercedes sped towards the No. 1 Middle School in the western part of the city. Just as the Mercedes came to a smooth stop in the school's parking lot, the school bell rang.

"Hey hey hey, how did you barge in here? So what if you drive a luxury car? What if you hit a student? Where are you from? Do you even know where you are? Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police. The police station is right next to us..." An old man rushed over in a panic, yelling angrily at Dongzi.

"Uncle Mei, you're really something..." Xue Hua pushed open the car door and got out.

"Xiao Xue? What are you doing in the car? You...you're so old, how could you do something like this? How could you do this to Xiao Wei?" The old man looked at Xue Hua with great heartache.

"Uncle Mei, what did Lao Xue do to offend me?" Wei Jianguo also got out of the car.

"Grandpa Mei thinks I've hooked up with a rich guy..." Xue Hua rolled his eyes, but he was still secretly pleased. Why did Grandpa Mei say that? Wasn't it because he still had some assets?

"You...you two..." Grandpa Mei stared at the couple, dumbfounded.

"Hahahaha..." Dongzi burst into laughter in the car, laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"Uncle Mei, we just bought this car today..." Wei Jianguo laughed as well.

Dongzi also got out of the car and shook hands with Grandpa Mei: "Grandpa Mei, right? You flatter me too much. We can't afford this car. We can only enjoy it here with Brother Wei..." As he spoke, he threw the car keys to Wei Jianguo, "Brother Wei, I'm going to the shop."

"Let's drive there..." Wei Jianguo said.

"No need, my shop isn't far from here, just a short walk. Your car is new, it's still in the break-in period, so don't drive too fast, or it will shorten its lifespan..." Dongzi advised, then turned and left.

"Hey! Jianguo, is this your family's car?" At this moment, a bald, middle-aged man walked out of the teaching building. This man was Hong Tao, the director of the second-year political education office.

"Yes, Brother Hong, we just bought this car this morning, and we haven't even had time to get the license plates yet..." Wei Jianguo said with a smile.

"Wow, Jianguo? I heard your family moved to Sunshine Community, and now you've bought a luxury car...tsk tsk..." Director Hong circled the car, clicking his tongue in admiration.

"Brother Hong, look at how greedy you look, don't eat our car!" Xue Hua smiled, turned and went upstairs. She had her class on the first day of the day.

"Look at you, your wife's still got a silver tongue," Director Hong said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"Hehe." Wei Jianguo chuckled. His class was in the second period, so he was chatting with Director Hong.

"Jianguo, how much did this car cost?" Director Hong asked.

"One million," Wei Jianguo said, holding up one finger.

Actually, Wei Jianguo originally wanted to buy a Mercedes-Benz worth 3 to 40 yuan, with just a license plate that said "human". However, the salesperson took him by surprise and delivered the car to his doorstep. As a result, Wei Jianguo was attracted by the car's grandeur and style, and his expectations rose from 3 to 40 yuan to 100 million yuan.

"Good heavens, Jianguo, where did your family get so much money? You didn't do anything illegal, did you?" Director Hong asked in shock.

"Jianguo, you must never do anything illegal..." Grandpa Mei said anxiously.

"Look at what you're saying, what illegal thing did we do?" Wei Jianguo laughed. "Lao Xue and I went to Beidaihe these past two days. My son-in-law bought a fishing boat there and kept insisting we go fishing. He was so enthusiastic, we couldn't refuse, so on the 10th, Lao Xue and I asked the school for leave. Speaking of fish in Beidaihe, wow, there are so many fish there, and all kinds of fish! My wife and I caught over 20 jin in just two days and sold them for 500 million yuan. Now we're rich!"

Wei Jianguo felt that there was nothing wrong with talking about fishing at sea.

"Really?" Director Hong's eyes widened.

Grandpa Mei's eyes widened in surprise.

That's unbelievable! Two days to catch 200,000 jin of sea fish? Do you think this is a fish farm?

"Of course it's true, Brother Hong, Uncle Mei. How about we call you guys next time we go? That guy makes money like it's coming from the sea..." Wei Jianguo said boastfully.

Director Hong and Grandpa Mei exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes, because the Wei Jianguo they knew was not the type to boast.

"It's settled then..." The two nodded together.

"This is something only the three of us know about, so please don't tell anyone else," Wei Jianguo said in a low voice.

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Brother Wei, is that your car?"

"Teacher Wei, not bad, you're even driving a Mercedes now..."

"A luxury Mercedes... Brother Wei, let's go for a drive after school..."

"Teacher Wei, when Xiao Yuan and I get married, can we borrow your car as our wedding car?"

"Brother Wei, looks like you've struck it rich! Remember to treat us..."

A group of teachers who didn't have classes poured out of the teaching building and surrounded Wei Jianguo, chattering away.

"Good, good, good, good..." Amidst the envious or jealous gazes and compliments from everyone, Wei Jianguo beamed with joy and could only repeat these three words over and over again.

The weather wasn't very good today. It was sunny in the morning, but around 9 a.m., a light autumn rain started to fall.

"I wonder where he is now, and whether he's getting wet in the rain..." Wei Qingqing nestled on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking out at the drizzling rain, and couldn't help but feel worried.

Yang Ming left in the morning. He didn't drive, but chose to walk into the old forest and then ride his celestial horse away from the sky.

This celestial horse is an excellent means of transportation, possessing an extremely strong magnetic field. This magnetic field not only repels the gravity of planets but also confuses any detection signals. Therefore, even with high-tech instruments, this celestial horse is extremely difficult to capture. Consequently, in the trading system, this celestial horse is extremely expensive, selling for 1000 gold coins per horse.

Having wings does not guarantee the ability to fly. Wing flapping only moves the air. Any creature that uses wing flapping to fly cannot fly long distances because human capabilities are limited.

Gliding is what allows flying creatures to fly higher and farther. If they possess a magnetic field that repels the Earth's magnetic field, then flying becomes even easier.

A milky-white celestial horse streaked across the sky like a pure white cloud, galloping through the clouds as if walking on flat ground.

Yang Ming rode on its back, his body pressed tightly against its spine. It was only because Yang Ming had the protection of the large landowner's farm that he was able to survive. If it were anyone else, they would have been suffocated by the high pressure at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

"It's really...it's so uncomfortable...it's cold and suffocating..." Yang Ming lay on the horse's back, secretly groaning in his heart.

"But it's also pretty cool. It's like walking on clouds, you can almost touch the clouds with your hand. But it's also quite nerve-wracking. If you fall, you'd be lucky to be smashed into a pancake..."

Wei Qingqing had no idea that Yang Ming was experiencing both pain and pleasure, nor did she know that he had ridden his horse directly up to the clouds. Right now, she was worried about him.

"Qingqing, what are you doing?... " Wei Qingqing was worried about Yang Ming when Aunt Liu came in from outside, carrying her needlework.

"Knitting a sweater..." Wei Qingqing held a knitting needle in her hand and had already knitted the edge of a sweater. The yarn was made from the wool of the volcano goat, and it felt warm to the touch.

"It's raining today. I guessed you were staying home. I was getting bored working at home by myself, so I came to visit you. By the way, where's Yang Ming?..." Aunt Liu put her work on the kang (a heated brick bed) and sat down with Wei Qingqing.

"Yang Ming has gone into the mountains and won't be back for another two days," Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"He went into the mountains? In a couple of days? He's still spending the night in the mountains?" Aunt Liu exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong? He's carrying a gun..." Wei Qingqing said.

"What use is a gun to him? It's raining right now, and the gunpowder will get damp and become unusable..." Aunt Liu said anxiously.

"This... should be alright, right?" Wei Qingqing's scalp tingled. How was she going to smooth things over this time?

"Oh dear, what should we do? Yang Ming and the others killed six wolves last time. If we run into a wolf pack... wolves are known for holding grudges..." Aunt Liu was extremely anxious.

"It should be alright, right? Yang Ming has about ten dogs with him," Wei Qingqing said.

"What do you mean 'nothing's wrong'? I just saw your Big Black in the yard," Aunt Liu said anxiously.

"Not only is our big black dog amazing, but our other Dalmatians are also quite good, especially Little Bear, who is even more amazing..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Did he bring his cell phone?" Aunt Liu asked.

"I brought it, I brought it..." Wei Qingqing nodded repeatedly.

"What are you waiting for? Call him right now and make sure he's safe..." Aunt Liu was so anxious she was practically jumping for joy.

"Okay, okay..." Wei Qingqing quickly called Yang Ming. The call connected in no time. "Honey, be careful in the old forest... Oh! Aunt Liu was so worried when she heard you went to the old forest... Are the bears obedient? You said they even know how to patrol? Hehe, our dogs are so smart..."

The two chatted for a couple of minutes before hanging up.

"It's good that you're alright..." Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's alright, they found a cave to take shelter from the rain. Actually, the mountains are lush with trees and the rain is light, so they won't get wet at all," Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"That's good..." Aunt Liu picked up her work and started getting busy.

"He asked me to thank you on his behalf..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"No need for thanks. Normally, since Yang Ming has gone into the mountains, I shouldn't say anything unlucky to you. But, Qingqing, life isn't easy for a woman. In the future, if you can avoid him going into the mountains, it would be best to prevent him from doing so..." Aunt Liu's expression was somewhat gloomy.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu..." Wei Qingqing grasped Aunt Liu's small hand.

On the warm kang (heated brick bed), Aunt Liu skillfully sewed Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), her movements swift but her craftsmanship meticulous. Wei Qingqing was also knitting a sweater with practiced ease. The two women chatted casually, occasionally bursting into laughter.

"By the way, Aunt Liu, we made some milk yesterday, it tastes really good, let me pour you a glass..." Wei Qingqing got up from the kang (a heated brick bed), went to the refrigerator in the west room, took out the milk that had been squeezed yesterday, and put it in the microwave to heat it up.

Two cups of hot milk with a rich, milky aroma were brought in. Liu Sao didn't stand on ceremony at all, took a small sip, and was immediately attracted by the rich flavor. She couldn't help but exclaim, "This milk is really delicious!"

"Of course, this comes from Inner Mongolia, and it's definitely not the processed milk sold by the dairy company," Wei Qingqing said.

"Will there be more milk in the future?" Aunt Liu asked, holding the cup and sipping the milk.

"It depends on how you look at it. If you order, of course we still have some..." Wei Qingqing carried the milk up the kang (a heated brick bed) and placed it on the windowsill to cool.

"Could you order some for your sister-in-law as well? I'd like Bao'er to have a cup every day."

"What's the big deal? Bao'er is our daughter too, why would you need to pay for her?" Wei Qingqing said.

"It's different." Aunt Liu shook her head firmly.

"How about this, we'll compensate you for all the hard work of making Hanfu? You and your daughter will each have a glass of fresh milk every day. Hmph, you're such a beauty, if you're so busy every day and don't get enough nutrition, you'll easily look old," Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"It's different, really different. I just wanted to..." Aunt Liu was about to say something more when Wei Qingqing interrupted her, "If you say that again, we're breaking off all ties. You're not allowed to come to our house anymore. How can you be like this?"

"Fine, fine, you've got me hooked with this trick..." Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Wei Qingqing, put the milk on the edge of the kang (heated brick bed), and then got to work.

"That's more like it..." Wei Qingqing smiled with satisfaction.

The two talked for a while longer, and finished all the milk in their cups. It was almost noon when Xiao Bao came back crying.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her daughter crying and looking so wronged, Aunt Liu was heartbroken.

"Who bullied you?" Wei Qingqing was also heartbroken.

"Wang Pingping hit me, and the teacher punished me by making me do chores for a week, boohoo..." The little girl cried bitterly when she saw her biological mother and godmother.

"What exactly happened? Tell Mom..." Aunt Liu was furious. Her daughter was always being bullied, so why was the teacher getting involved?

"I ate a peach on my way to school this morning, and I told my classmates that I love peaches the most. The kids were all envious of me and asked me how delicious they were. I said that I would bring them some next time so they could try them too. Wang Pingping said, 'Who would want to eat your lousy peach?' I said, 'I didn't say I was giving it to you.' Then she hit me and tore up my homework. I went to tell the teacher, and when the teacher saw that there were scraps of paper all over the room, she made me sweep them up. I said that Wang Pingping tore them up and that she should sweep them up. So she punished me by making me do cleaning duty for a week..." Xiao Bao'er recounted the story in fits and starts.

So the little guy was showing off the peaches to his classmates. Of course, there are hardly any peaches left in the mountains this season.

"Let's go find her..." Aunt Liu was furious. She got off the kang (a heated brick bed), grabbed her daughter, and went to confront the teacher. This person was infuriating! We could understand if a teacher didn't want to come to this remote mountain village. We wouldn't mind when you wanted to teach the children, as long as they could learn something. But what kind of behavior was this? Was she taking advantage of the fact that our children didn't have a father?

"Wait for me, I'm going too... What kind of teacher is this?" Wei Qingqing was also furious. She put on her shoes and followed him out.

Wang Li graduated from a teachers' college. Because she had no connections, she was assigned to the primary school in Zhengjia Village. When she first arrived in Zhengjia Village, she was attracted by the natural scenery. However, after a while, she became a little bored. The key problem was that there were no computers here, and she couldn't even access QQ. Life was really boring.

During the autumn break, she attended a wedding that broke her heart. The groom was her boyfriend, but the bride was not her. Originally, she planned to combine the autumn break with the National Day holiday so that she could spend more time with her boyfriend, but... Heartbroken, Wang Li returned to Zhengjia Village, which is why Xiao Bao'er and the others suddenly started school.

Finding fault with everything she does—that's Wang Li's attitude towards her students. She especially disliked Zheng Bao'er. This little girl has been showing off too much lately. So what if you went on a trip? What's so great about that? You only got to eat one rotten peach, and you can eat that every day without getting tired of it? No wonder Wang Pingping hit you. Even I want to beat you up. If teachers weren't forbidden from corporal punishment, I'd make you stand outside every day.

"Bastard, I hate you. I curse you to be hit by a car, choke to death while drinking water, choke to death while eating, or fall to your death while going down the stairs..." Lying on the earthen bed in the dormitory, Wang Li had no appetite at all. Just thinking about that bastard who silently married another woman made her grit her teeth in hatred.

"Knock knock..."

A knock on the door interrupted Wang Li's curse: "Come in."

The door opened, and came in Liu Sao, who was holding Xiao Bao'er's hand.

"Sister Liu, what's wrong?" As soon as Wang Li saw Sister Liu, she knew what was going on. She admired this woman very much because although she was a widow and had no one to support her family, no one in the village dared to mess with her. This kind of woman was a real woman.

"Teacher Wang, I want to know what my Bao'er did wrong? You're going to punish her by making her do chores for a week." Aunt Liu was getting more and more annoyed with Teacher Wang.

"This..." Wang Li was a little embarrassed and stammered, unable to say anything.

"When students are in class, the teacher is their guardian. My daughter was beaten and her homework was torn up, and you still want to punish her by making her do cleaning duty? Do you think that because I am a widow, I won't confront you even if you bully my daughter?" Aunt Liu's words were rather harsh.

"Well, Aunt Liu, I..." Wang Li blushed.

"Are you even a teacher? Teachers are called 'engineers of the soul,' and this is how you teach and nurture students?" Wei Qingqing walked in at this moment. "Are you really a graduate of a teachers' college? Do you really have a teaching certificate?"

Wang Li's face turned even redder.
