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

Chapter 286: Deciding to Sponsor My Two Cousins' Schooling
Whenever he thinks about these things, Yu Dawei feels a pang of sadness, blaming himself and hating himself.

If he hadn't been constantly arguing with his wife, if he hadn't subconsciously avoided home, working outside and refusing to come back, if he hadn't been so headstrong...

Moreover, Xiao Muyu later learned some of his "self-willed" personality, and he couldn't find a suitable job after graduation.

Yu Dawei called his second cousin Zhang Yuheng for the second time. As for his eldest cousin, he felt a little embarrassed that his child had ended up in a junior college. His second cousin was someone he could play with when they were young.

So he made that call to his second cousin, wondering if he could get his good-for-nothing eldest son a job at the bank, even if it was just as a lobby worker. It didn't matter where it was, as long as it was cheap, even a small county town would be fine, at least it would be stable, right?

He remembered clearly that his second cousin hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing and even made a simple plan for his eldest son.

Work at a branch bank in a small town for a few years first, and during that time, prepare your postgraduate entrance exam materials carefully. It would be best to enroll in a class. When you are eligible to take the exam, try your best to get a part-time professional master's degree.

After that, my second cousin didn't say anything more, nor did he need to.

Unfortunately, the child took after his grandfather and never wanted to owe anyone a favor. He absolutely refused to go, which almost made Yu Dawei pick up a crowbar and beat him up!
But this favor is owed, and since both of his older cousins ​​have unlimited potential, they are worthy of Yu Dawei's investment and help.

"Second brother, I think eldest brother is right." Yu Dawei placed the teacup next to the long bench, looked at the group seriously and said, "How about this, I'll pay for your tuition for the next few years of graduate school."

"Dawei! Where did you get all that money?" His uncle was surprised and opposed. "No, no, at such a young age, it's more important to live your own life well. You don't need to get involved in our family's messy affairs."

"Don't worry, Uncle, it won't affect my life. I opened a repair shop in Luhe Town last year, and business is doing well." Yu Dawei changed the subject, "Besides, this money won't be given away for nothing. It's just a loan. When my older brothers make a living, they can pay me back."

“Uncle, you’re borrowing from other people’s houses anyway, and you’re borrowing from me too. Besides, our two families are really close relatives, don’t you think?” Yu Dawei analyzed the situation very clearly.

Throughout his life, Yu Dawei has always deeply followed his grandfather's rules, emphasizing fairness in everything and never giving anything away for nothing or demanding anything in return.

“This…” Zhang Yuheng fell into deep thought, and finally looked at his elder brother, leaving the decision to him.

“Yuming, Yuheng, it’s you two who need to go to school, so you can decide this yourselves.” The uncle agreed with what Dawei said.

In essence, this money was lent to his two sons, who will repay it in the future. According to Dawei, this also gives them ample time to repay the money.

“Okay!” Zhang Yuming looked at Yu Dawei, his eyes filled with gratitude: “Dawei, we brothers will remember this favor.”

“What’s with all this talk of favors? There’s no such thing as borrowing money. If you become rich one day, and my son asks you for a favor or a job, would you refuse?” Yu Dawei stood up, raised his right hand, and patted his cousin’s arm. “I’ll transfer ten thousand yuan to your savings account when I have some time. Bye.”

"Leaving already? Why don't you stay for a meal?" The uncle stood up, leaning on his wooden cane, and turned his face toward Yu Dawei based on his sense of direction.

"No, Uncle, I have things to do at the factory." Yu Dawei said, taking out two hundred yuan from his pocket and quietly placing it on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), while also making a "shh" gesture to his two cousins.

This money has nothing to do with the two brothers; it's specifically for their cousin.

The eldest and second cousins ​​exchanged a glance and remained silent, both deeply grateful to Yu Dawei.

As the saying goes, when you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, even distant relatives come to visit.

Their family is so poor that only a few relatives visit them throughout the year.

It wasn't that they hadn't expected Yu Dawei, with whom they had a distant but not close relationship, to think of their family.

After leaving Zhangmujian Village, Yu Dawei headed straight for Luhe Town, planning to transfer 10,000 yuan to his cousin and the others that afternoon.

The biggest reason Yu Dawei helped them was probably because his two cousins ​​were truly talented and low-key.

It is said that when the two were admitted to university, they did not tell their relatives or friends in the village, nor did they hold any banquet. They simply planted two flags on their ancestors' graves.

There's a custom here: if a family's child gets into university, they'll plant a flag next to their ancestors' graves as a way of comforting their ancestors and letting them know that their descendants have a successful child.

The cemetery on Lao Yu's side has always been empty, without any flags. It's as if studying diligently or anything like that isn't in their bloodline or genes.

His second younger brother, Yu Dasheng, did get into university, but Yu Laonian knew his university inside and out. If you told anyone, they probably wouldn't even have heard of it. Yu Laonian didn't want to embarrass himself by planting a flag next to his ancestors.

I vaguely remember that among the younger generation of Yu Dawei in my previous life, none of them got into prestigious universities like the 985 or 211 universities; the best they got into was a second-tier university.

"Sigh, no wonder I always hear people talking about gene modification in the future. It seems it really is necessary." Yu Dawei smiled wryly as he drove, thinking that the human species is truly amazing.

Just like rice seedlings in a field, whether they are robust young rice or small, large rice, they are all rice, but there are many, many varieties when you look into them.

Back at Fanfan Repair Shop, Yu Dawei saw several new cars waiting to be repaired, and some job applicants standing nearby, reporting something to Old Ji, the mechanic. Yu Dawei ignored them and went straight to the small hut to prepare lunch.

After lunch, he went to work on the money transfer, visited Brother Duan again, and headed straight to the Eighth Bureau branch in the oil city the next day.

After arriving at Huizhan Street in Sa District, we made several turns to reach the office of the Eighth Bureau branch. We told the security guard at the entrance what we needed to do before driving our little red car inside.

Supervisor Chang's office was located at the end of the corridor on the first floor, next to the toilet. However, unlike other project managers in charge of the oil city, his office was separate.

Yu Dawei moved the fruit directly to the door and then knocked on the green-painted wooden door in front of him.

"Come in." A familiar voice came from inside the house.

However, with four boxes of fruit in his hands, it was a bit inconvenient for Yu Dawei, so he could only helplessly call out to the inside, "I can't get in, open the door for me."

There was a moment of silence in the room, then footsteps began to approach from afar, and finally the old wooden door creaked open from the inside.

"Dawei?" Manager Chang stood in front of four boxes of fruit. The upper body of the man was completely blocked by the boxes, but you could still roughly guess who he was from his voice and his broad, thick forearms.

"Happy New Year, Manager Chang, please make way." Even with his good stamina, it was still quite uncomfortable for Yu Dawei to carry it like that.

"Happy New Year!" Manager Chang quickly took two steps back towards the side of the house, stood at the doorway and looked at Yu Dawei with a wry smile, "Did you go to buy fruit wholesale for the New Year? Why did you bring so much fruit?"

"Is this all? There are two more boxes in the car." Yu Dawei glanced at Manager Chang's office. There was space under the green wall on the east side, with only a thermos next to it, so he put the four boxes of fruit there.

"Alright, you can take those two boxes back and eat them yourself. I can't finish them." Manager Chang said with a smile, picking up the pen cap from the table and putting it together with the pen in his right hand.

"Hey, don't be so polite with me. If you can't finish it, there are still your brothers here." Yu Dawei said, then turned around and ran out again. "Wait for me, I'll bring you those two boxes of fruit."

After delivering the fruit, Yu Dawei sat down on the red folding chair, holding a glass of warm water.

Unlike the big boss's office, which has a sofa and a water dispenser, Supervisor Chang's office is not only smaller, but the chairs are also just leather folding chairs, and the water is just boiled water from the cafeteria.

Supervisor Chang naturally knew why Yu Dawei had come. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two began to talk about the projects in Luhe Town this year.

According to the project schedule, construction started a month earlier this year, meaning that preparations were made to begin in early March.

Once Yu Dawei learned the exact time, he felt more at ease.

Unlike last year, when my second uncle was also overseeing the construction project, Yu Dawei didn't need to go out much; my second uncle would proactively tell him a lot of information.

But at the end of last year, the project that my second uncle was working on in Luhe Town was completed. And when I went to see my second and third uncles yesterday, Yu Dawei already knew that the two of them had already laid the groundwork in the oil city and would start building a small housing development this year.

It's a very small community, with a total of thirteen buildings, six of which are villas.

This is a new experience for my second and third uncles. In addition to building construction, they also won a road construction contract in the first half of the year, which will probably be completed in the second half.

Before leaving, the second uncle reminded Yu Dawei that if he could get an excavator, he could bring it to him in the second half of the year. He also said that if his own road roller became idle, he could bring it over as well.

Yu Dawei was naturally extremely grateful and couldn't help but copy down some of the New Year's greetings that Han Jingfan had said.

"Supervisor Chang, how much longer can the Luhe section of the project be completed?" Yu Dawei was not as clear about the overall project progress as Supervisor Chang, the project manager.

"Hmm... If things go smoothly, we can finish by August; if it's slow, it might be winter by then. Sections three, seven, and nine have a lot of work to do, and they're not straight roads, so there's no rushing it." Supervisor Chang rested his right hand on the table, unconsciously rubbing his fingers together. "Once these sections are finished, you can actually head to the county and city."

“Cities are being built on a large scale across the country, and urbanization will definitely be a top priority in the future.” Director Chang didn’t have any solid evidence, but he was a veteran in this field and had some insight.

"Is the big boss in?" Yu Dawei thought of General Manager Huang upstairs. "How has he been lately?"

"Him..." Manager Chang revealed a mysterious smile, "The big boss will probably be stationed at headquarters from now on."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei's eyes lit up. He put down the cup in his hand on the table and subconsciously sat up straighter: "Really?"

"Realer than real gold."

P.S.: Thank you, Boss, for the 500 Qidian Coins reward! May you have great success in both love and career, and live a carefree life! Boss, be happy! Boss, be joyful! —Han Jingfan
