Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Yi Zhonghai was startled and quickly bent down to listen carefully. Sure enough, he heard his name.

After looking carefully, he confirmed that he did not know the person in front of him and was immediately confused.

Pei Guang suggested: "Uncle, you should take the people back first, and wait until the others wake up."

With no other choice at the moment, Yi Zhonghai had to take the man back to his home.

The neighbors were talking about it and speculating about the relationship between the two.

The aunt was preparing dinner and was shocked when she saw this. After hearing what happened, she looked at the person in front of her carefully and all kinds of speculations came to her mind.

Thinking of that possibility, the aunt hurriedly fed the man some rice soup. As for the rest, she could only wait until the man woke up.

Two hours later, the man woke up from his coma. Although he felt weak all over, he had regained consciousness.

He was startled when he saw the unfamiliar environment, but after recalling what he had thought about, he smiled bitterly again.

"Thank you uncle and aunt for saving me. I wonder where this place is?"

The auntie quickly said that she had just wiped the man's face and looked at his face which was quite similar to her memory. Then she compared his age and became more certain of that idea.

The man was very excited after hearing this, "Auntie, is there anyone named Tian Guiying or Yi Zhonghai in your courtyard?"

The lady stroked his hand and said softly, "My child, I am Tian Guiying. Are you from Tianjia Village?"

The man was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Aunt, I finally found you. My name is Tian Dake, I am 20 years old, and my father is Tian Guiqing."

"Here is my letter of introduction."

Yi Zhonghai also remembered it at this time, frowned, and didn't say much.

Ever since he got married, his father-in-law and his family have always wanted to take advantage of him. It would have been fine if they had taken advantage of him a little bit, after all, they were relatives, but their greed later angered him.

After an argument, he gave the last sum of money and directly threatened that he would no longer have this relative and would never have any contact with him again.

The eldest aunt followed her husband wherever he went, and her father's behavior was really too much, so she never returned to her parents' home again.

Now that I see my brother's son coming, I am filled with mixed emotions.

Could it be that he is plotting against our family again?

"Dake, how is your family doing now?" After all, blood is thicker than water, and the aunt couldn't help but show concern.

Tian Dake's eyes turned red, and he cried, "Aunt, my father went to the mountains to hunt last month and never came back. My mother fell to her death while looking for him. My two sisters are already married, and my grandfather starved to death a few days ago. He asked me to come to you before he died."

"Ah!" Even though my father had many faults, he was still my biological father after all. I still felt sad when I heard the news.

When Tian Xiulan married into the courtyard, she had specifically asked about it, how come it suddenly... wuwuwu!

Yi Zhonghai felt inexplicably uncomfortable. When a person dies, all grudges are gone, and he can just let go of the past.

He looked at his nephew in front of him and had a thought: could it be that he was sent by God to take care of him in his old age?

"Dake, what about your other uncles? Don't they care about you?"

Tian Dake wiped away his tears and cried, "Many people have starved to death in the village now. Who has the energy to take care of me?"

"Uncle, please take me in. I can do anything."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and pondered. He had not figured out the character of the person in front of him yet, so it was naturally impossible for him to agree rashly.

Moreover, Tian Dake is already an adult, and his rural household registration means that he cannot live in the city for long.

It would be better to let him stay for a while and observe his character first.

After hearing this, Tian Dake bowed and thanked him repeatedly. Finally, he had a way to survive.

The situation in the countryside was really unbearable. We ate leaves when we were extremely hungry. The treetops were ripped bare and even the bark was peeled off.

If he didn't leave soon, he would probably starve to death.

The aunt had no objection to this. After calming down, she continued to prepare dinner.

.........

Chapter 112 Past Love

At dinner time, Tian Dake looked at the cornmeal and sweet potatoes on the table and couldn't help swallowing.

God knows how long it has been since he had a proper meal. Is it really something he can eat?

An old lady handed him a sweet potato and said enthusiastically, "Don't be polite, treat this as your own home."

Although she had many complaints about her natal family, now that this incident had happened, all the past had gone with the wind.

At that time, she had the best relationship with her younger brother in the family, and she naturally felt close to his children.

"Yeah! Thank you, aunt and uncle. I haven't had a good meal in a long time." Tian Dake said while wolfing down the food.

Seeing her nephew so impatient and unable to stop talking, the aunt couldn't help but feel distressed.

What a suffering this is!

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai gave him some toiletries and a set of old clothes and took him to the bathhouse.

The aunt came to the ear room next to the east wing. It was originally a place to store sundries, but now that there was one more person in the house, she naturally had to clean it up.

The neighbors then learned that the man was actually an aunt's child, who had come to live with his relatives after his family encountered misfortune.

In response, everyone shook their heads.

A rural household registration, even a big household like Yi Zhonghai, can't afford to support it for a long time. And the source of the food rations is not clear, if someone reports it, it will be no joke.

Unless… there’s a job.

Yi Zhonghai nodded as he watched his nephew finish washing and changing his clothes.

He is of the same height as him, with a square face, deep and unfathomable eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly thin lips. He can't be said to be handsome, but he is quite good-looking.

After the two returned to the yard, Tian Dake saw his aunt cleaning the house, so he grabbed the rag and started doing it himself.

"Aunt, I'm very grateful to you and uncle for taking me in. I can do this myself."

The aunt smiled and didn't force it, thinking that the child was sensible. She went back to the house, got the quilt and pillowcase and tidied them up.

After finishing all the work, Tian Dake finally had a good sleep here.

The next morning, Yi Zhonghai and his wife took Tian Dake back to Tianjia Village to pay tribute to their deceased relatives.

Then Yi Zhonghai started to inquire in the village, and after confirming Tian Dake's character, he felt completely relieved.

Since the child is a good one and has no one to rely on, and the two parties are related, he is of course the most suitable candidate for elderly care.

He has already made up his mind that when the time comes, he will ask Director Yang to do him a favor and get the job done first so that the household registration problem can be resolved first.

When the three of them returned to the yard, they happened to meet Tian Xiulan who was going out to the toilet.

"A big ..."

Tian Xiulan's pupils shrank suddenly when she saw the figure, and her greeting stopped abruptly. Her body swayed and she almost fell down.

How come? How did he end up here?

Then I thought about the news I heard last night. Could he be a relative of Auntie?

When he thought of what happened in the haystack in the cornfield that night, his face turned pale uncontrollably.

Not only her, Tian Dake's expression also changed drastically, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Didn't she marry into the city? Could it be this courtyard? It was just too coincidental!

It seemed like fate was playing a huge joke on him. He had finally forgotten this woman, but he happened to meet her here again.

Oh my goodness! What on earth do you want?

Fortunately, he was following Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and no one noticed his abnormality, otherwise they would have suspected the relationship between the two.

Seeing that her face looked a little off, the aunt asked with concern: "Xiu Lan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No...no, my feet just felt numb and I suddenly lost my balance."

"That's good! By the way, you must know my nephew Tian Dake. We grew up in the same village."

Tian Xiulan glanced at him, forced a smile and said, "Of course I know him. Dake and I are neighbors."

"I'm in a hurry to go to the bathroom now. I'll come to see Dake later to catch up."

"Oh oh! Go ahead."

Seeing that her nephew looked normal, the aunt patted him on the shoulder and asked about their relationship.

Tian Dake forced a smile and said, "We have been neighbors since childhood."

After hearing this, the aunt sighed that the two parties were destined to meet each other. In such a big world, they were reunited here again.

After returning home, Tian Dake lay on the bed, thinking back to the past, feeling overwhelmed with emotions.

The two were originally neighbors next door, and they were childhood sweethearts.

He had even sworn that he would not marry anyone other than Tian Xiulan in this life.

But before he could express his feelings, the girl excitedly told him that she had a boyfriend. The joy on her face hurt him deeply.

He learned that his enemy was a worker in the city, earning dozens of yuan a month. Such conditions made him feel powerless.

Childhood sweethearts are powerless in front of the powerful money.

It is ridiculous for an ant to try to shake a tree.

Although he was in great pain, he had no right to stop her from being happy, so he had to bury this love deep in his heart forever.

But accidents always happen so suddenly that we are caught off guard.

Several months passed, and he still hadn't heard any news about the girl getting married.

Until one day, the girl came to him with tears in her eyes.

From the girl's crying, I learned that the other party seemed reluctant to marry her and had been delaying.

Looking at the girl's painful expression, he got excited and grabbed the girl's hand, expressing his feelings.

Perhaps the girl was impulsive or was moved, and she actually had sex with him in the haystack in the cornfield.

That day was the happiest time in his life. He completed his transformation into a man in that cornfield.

I thought everything would go smoothly, but when I saw the girl again afterwards, her attitude was unpredictable.

She treated him coldly like a stranger, saying that she had done something wrong in the heat of the moment and asked him to forget everything.

Her goal is to marry into the city and she no longer wants to stay in the countryside and live a hard life.

This left him completely puzzled. The matter was already settled, so who would be willing to marry her?

Later, the girl found him and told him that she was going to get married, and she wanted to marry the worker, and she hoped that he would keep everything secret.

He didn't know what means the girl used, but her heart was not with him, so he had no choice but to give up this relationship with a sad heart.

Now, more than a year has passed, and it feels like a lifetime ago. When I see her again, she is someone else's wife.

Tian Dake calmed himself down. Now that things had come to this, he had no other thoughts.

Let's just maintain a normal neighborly relationship!

I thought of my uncle's offer to help him find a job in the city, and once he gets his household registration, he will be a real city dweller.

A good life is waiting for him!

.........

Chapter 113 Looking Back

After Tian Xiulan parted with the three people, her face turned pale and a strong feeling of fear surged in her heart.

How to do?How to do?

She didn't know what Tian Dake was thinking. If she revealed their affair, how would Xu Damao look at her?

Being kicked out is the easiest thing to do.

She had finally settled down in the city, and since enjoying the city life, she no longer wanted to live the hard life in the countryside.

After the panic, he slowly calmed down. If Tian Dake wanted to do it, he would have done it a long time ago. Why wait until now? Besides, there would be no benefit for him to do so.

Thinking back to what they had done in the cornfield, two blushes appeared on her little face.
