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

Chapter 268 Not Going Home for the New Year
"Disciple, guess whether your master's wife deliberately left the snow in the yard, or if she left it because she was busy with something else?" Yu Dawei opened the gate, stepped on the gas and drove the car into the yard, asking Xiao Agui beside him.

It was just a simple matter of letting him guess, just for fun.

"Is the mistress busy with something else?" Xiao Agui guessed.

Yu Dawei shook his head: "Maybe it was true before, but it's definitely not true now."

He was burdened with all sorts of debts in his past life, which not only affected himself but also made it difficult for his wife to have a good New Year. In addition, he did nothing when he returned home, so Han Jingfan struggled to support the family all by himself.

It seems that it was only around 94 when Han Jingfan began to gradually develop feelings of resentment towards herself. But it was just a sign. When she saw herself leaning against the quilt on the kang (a heated brick bed), she would mutter a few words quietly, but she didn't scold herself loudly.

But as the complaints accumulated year after year, they gradually grew louder, and people became extremely volatile in this state, until finally, they exploded.

In this second life, Yu Dawei no longer put any financial pressure on her, and he also repented for his past guilt, even loving her more than in his previous life.

She was like a flower grown in a pot, blooming in the sunlight at this very moment, displaying her beautiful colors.

The car stopped not far from the doghouse. Gou Shengzi crawled out of the doghouse early and stared at Xiao Agui, who was getting out of the car.

Now, Gou Shengzi's physique is no less than that of the family's Big White, and he exudes a strong sense of dominance wherever he goes.

Little Agui shrank back in fear, and this action only emboldened Gou Shengzi, who began to bare his teeth at Little Agui.

"Woof... Woof!" Gou Shengzi approached step by step, trying to determine whether the other party would pose a threat to anything in the yard.

"Get out of here and howl! Are you blind? You've been to our house before, have you forgotten?" Yu Dawei opened the front trunk of the little red car and kicked Gou Shengzi a meter or two away.

"Ouch~"

The recipe is familiar, the taste is familiar, and the owner is protecting him, so he can't be a bad person.

Gou Shengzi got up and howled softly twice, then turned around and crawled back into his doghouse, satisfied.

All the other dogs rushed to Yu Dawei's side, surrounding him and Xiao Agui.

After Yu Dawei unloaded several boxes of New Year's goods from the car, he went inside the house.

Just then, Han Jingfan came out carrying the child. She probably guessed that her husband was coming back, so she didn't rush to leave the house.

During this period, she often stayed up late, taking advantage of Xiao Muyu's deep sleep at night to write a little something to practice her writing skills.

The body that had gained weight due to happiness has begun to return to its original slender figure under the "torture" of getting up early and going to bed late.

Although she doesn't care much about her figure and face, she can't resist the fact that someone in her family likes her, so she pays attention to it. She is also a little worried that if her figure goes out of shape, that person will take a fancy to other pretty girls.

Yu Dawei put all the things in the outer room. It was still early before noon, so they chatted about their recent lives, their parents, and some things in the village.

Xiao Agui has become a master at coaxing children. Now that he can speak, he has become more versatile in his methods of coaxing children, and he even learns to change his voice in different ways to make Xiao Muyu happy.

Jiang Gui is Yu Dawei's eldest disciple, so naturally he is Xiao Muyu's senior brother, a true senior brother, not the kind of senior brother who is like a nominal disciple.

In the future, we can see the influence of Yu Dawei in Jiang Gui; repairing cars is one aspect, but so is how to conduct oneself and do things.

Not long after, around nine o'clock, Yu Dawei and his family of three, along with Xiao Agui, left the front yard and went to the old man's house in the back yard to have a meal.

I also put two or three boxes of fruit and a box of firecrackers back into the car; these were for the old man's family.

Of course, that's not all. In previous years, the old man would go to town to buy some fruit, then take a few plastic bags and visit the elderly people in the village, which was also a way of paying New Year's visits in advance.

Now that the oldest man in the village has passed away in the summer, Old Man Yu seems to have lost the will to send gifts. Watching his older brothers grow old day by day, he feels a little uneasy.

Yu Dawei decided to stop it. Anyway, he wasn't short of money for a few boxes of fruit. Besides, he used to freeload at various old men's houses when he was a kid, so it was time to "pay back the debt."

If we wait a few years, then we won't have to pay back the "debt" of freeloading.

Yu Dawei was thinking that he would drive his little red car to town to buy some fruit in a couple of days. Now, thanks to Boss Liang's introduction, he knew which fruit vendors used which channels. He wouldn't be able to buy several boxes at a very cheap price, but he was sure he could get a wholesale price.

"Oh! Big brother's back!" Xiao Fang was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the backyard. She saw Yu Dawei's car when she looked out the window, then quickly put on her shoes and clothes and rushed out.

It's obvious that there's good food in the older brother's car!
Upon meeting, Xiaofang's first action was to explain to her older brother why she wasn't at her sister-in-law's house in the front yard taking care of the child at this time of day. Her excuses—a stomachache, food poisoning—were all just pretexts, and Yu Dawei could see right through them.

However, the child was a bit sleepy, and since it was winter vacation, he woke up a little late. By the time he wanted to go, the family of three had already arrived.

However, Yu Dawei also heard from Han Jingfan that ever since he promised the gold jewelry, Xiao Fang would go to the front yard every day to help with cooking and to take care of the children.

Er Yan also began to compare herself to Xiao Muyu, and became even more attentive when taking care of her.

Now, his eldest son is no longer like the man wrote in his diary, who was unloved by his maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather since childhood, and who was disliked by everyone except his cousin.

The so-called cousin refers to Da Feng's child, who seems to be about a year younger than his own son, or maybe two years younger, he can't remember exactly.

All I know is that Dafeng came back shortly after the Lunar New Year this year, went on a blind date a few days later, got married, and became pregnant that year. I don't know if the child was born at the end of 94 or after 94.

In his previous life, Yu Dawei perfectly inherited his grandfather Yu Chen's carefree attitude towards everything, and he had long forgotten about these trivial matters.

She even forgot her eldest and youngest sons' birthdays at times, often mixing them up.

This is a drawback, but in any case, everything Yu Dawei has seen in his life is a precious memory, and every second of life should be cherished.

When Zhang Yunqin saw her eldest son return, she prepared to kill a chicken and make a chicken stew with mushrooms, but Yu Dawei forcefully stopped her.

If chickens are slaughtered at this pace, then the chickens in the house will completely break down.

Besides, he had just eaten chicken stew with mushrooms in town and was feeling a bit greasy, so he asked his mother to make some ordinary dishes.

There was still a lot of meat left over from the gift from her third uncle, so Zhang Yunqin simply made some stir-fried potato slices with shredded meat, fried an egg, made some cold shredded cabbage salad, and some homemade pickled vegetables. That would be enough for her.

The family now consists of three people: Dawei, Xiao Agui, and four people in the backyard: Mom, Dad, Eryan, and Xiaofang.

There are eight people in total, so the amount of food needs to be prepared in advance. With all the other things to do, we were busy until mid-afternoon.

The old man received a letter from his second son around the Gregorian New Year. The letter mentioned some recent events of him and Dafeng in Hohhot, but most of them were just snippets of "not bad". As for how the two children were doing in Hohhot, it was probably just a matter of guessing.

The letter ended by saying that it would be inconvenient to catch the train back during the Spring Festival, so his aunt, who is Yu Laonian's sister, suggested that the two children not go back and spend the Spring Festival at her home in Hohhot.

Ultimately, the two children decided not to go home for Chinese New Year this year.

When Yu Laonian talked about this with his eldest son, Yu Dawei, the latter had a calm expression, as if he had known about it all along.

This made Yu Laonian a little unhappy. After all, now that you, as the eldest brother, are living a good life, don't you worry about how your younger brothers and sisters are doing?
The old man was very clever. The less his two children described about their lives in their letters, the less happy they were. But they were too far apart, and he couldn't do anything about it.

I wanted to send some money over, but I was worried about safety. I was anxious for a while, but I felt better after taking a walk around the village.

Yu Dawei could only smile wryly at this, thinking that his second son must have suffered losses selling vegetables.

This kid didn't study properly even after going to university. He was either playing guitar or using his living expenses to cause trouble everywhere. And he had an accomplice by his side, namely Yu Chen's youngest son, Yu Dafu.

The boy is currently staying at his aunt's house. After he arrived, his uncle found him a job at the power plant. If nothing had changed, he would have been fired in December because he got into a fight with a junior manager at the factory.

After that, he started selling vegetables with the second brother, Yu Dasheng. Yes, selling vegetables.

The lives of locals in Hohhot are similar to those in Northeast China; they like to stock up on cabbage in winter.

If Yu Dawei remembers correctly, the two of them stocked up on two truckloads of cabbage at the end of 1993, intending to take them to the market to sell. In the end, they only got 13 dollars worth of cabbage, and neither made a profit nor a loss.

However, when you factor in the time and effort involved, you end up losing money in the end.

The reason Yu Dasheng didn't come back this year is probably because he was afraid that the old man would find out about this and give him a good scolding.

After all, even after going to university, they don't study hard; all they do is cause trouble.

Moreover, Yu Dawei knew that after his second brother, Yu Dasheng, graduated, he still had to contract a fishpond. Only after experiencing failure once again did he willingly lower his head and face reality.

In the end, life is a peaceful and smooth journey.
