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

Chapter 342 A Twisted Fate! The decision-making power over the issue has fallen into Yu Dawei's hands.

Xiao Agui was taking the exam along with Er Yan and several other children from Yujiatun who had previously dropped out of school.

They were all girls, and when they studied, they mostly reviewed, since they had all attended junior high school but dropped out.

Yu Dawei was somewhat surprised by A Gui's learning ability. Upon asking, he learned that A Gui studied several times more than other students every day. Even when he was sleeping at night, he could be seen in the next room, reading by an old kerosene lamp.

Yu Dawei was reminded of Sun Shunli by his obsession with reading, but A Gui was a talented and ambitious person whose progress was far beyond what Sun Shunli could achieve.

"Apprentice, are you ready to take the central school exam this year?" Yu Dawei couldn't help but ask Jiang Gui, who was doing his homework beside him.

"Hmm." Jiang Gui laid the stool on the ground and straddled it, the height just right for him to lie on the kang (a heated brick bed) and do his math problems.

Hearing his master's question, he stopped writing and looked up: "I feel like I can do it. Principal Zhang brought me the fifth-grade test questions from school a couple of days ago. After grading them, he said there were no mistakes and told me to prepare for the central school exam this year. I feel like I have no problem with math."

"I'm not very good at Chinese; I always forget the ancient poems I've memorized." A-Gui smiled a little embarrassedly as he said this.

"No rush." ​​Yu Dawei patted his apprentice's thin shoulder. "Don't always think about helping the repair shop. Take advantage of your youth and study hard. If you can get into a prestigious university, that will make your master proud."

“University…” A-Gui’s eyes held a mixture of confusion and expectation. The confusion probably stemmed from a lack of intuitive understanding of university, with the only knowledge that those who entered it seemed to automatically become superior.

But it was still too far away for him.

Afterwards, Yu Dawei returned to the front yard with his wife and children. He discussed with Han Jingfan that they planned to demolish the old, dilapidated house in the front yard in July or August of this year and then rebuild the house on a new foundation.

As for how big the house should be, Yu Dawei wanted to think about it more carefully and would decide after drawing a sketch.

After resting for a night in the village, Yu Dawei went to Huangman's place to check on the recent progress of the small wheeled excavator.

Last time, because the roller parts were stolen, Yu Dawei's wheeled excavator was only half repaired. Later, the factory's rescue department came to repair it. I heard that A Gui also came to help. It seems that the rescue team was a little hesitant to take action when they saw the assembled wheeled excavator.

Fortunately, with A-Gui, the original assembler, there, the repair of the wheeled excavator was quickly resolved.

When Dawei arrived at the village, the excavator was busily waving its arms under the blazing sun.

The car was in good condition, that was Yu Dawei's first impression when he saw it, but then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It wasn't the car; rather, he spotted a somewhat familiar figure near the poplar grove in the distance.

It was a girl, wearing a black coat on her upper body, a brown leather bag slung across her shoulder, jeans on her lower body, and a pair of imported Martin boots on her feet. Just from this outfit, you could tell that the girl in the distance was definitely not someone who grew up in a rural village.

"He Huihui?" Yu Dawei parked his SUV on the side of the road and walked towards the girl with a curious expression.

"Boss Yu, it's been a long time." He Huihui looked away from the rotary excavator and turned to Yu Dawei with a sweet smile.

Yu Dawei frowned subconsciously: "What are you doing here? When did you get here? Do your parents know you're here?"

He immediately posed three soul-searching questions, and Yu Dawei found it hard to imagine that a young girl would travel all the way from the south of the country to the northeast.

Whether by car or train, no mode of transportation is absolutely safe. Robberies and thefts are common on the road, and every stop feels like passing through the gates of hell.

He simply couldn't imagine how big a heart this girl must have to come all the way here.

“It’s been two days. I came here because I missed him.” Compared to the last time they met, He Huihui was more open about her feelings now. She pointed to Huang Man, who was working, and said, “As for my parents, I left them a note.”

Yu Dawei frowned even more deeply and turned to look at Huang Man inside the excavator's cab, who was both anxious to get to work and eager to get off the vehicle.

Yu Dawei waved Huang Man's hand, signaling him to continue working. He glanced back at the girl with a slightly stubborn expression, and shook his head with amusement: "Go to the edge of the woods, it's too hot in the sun here."

Yu Dawei pointed to a relatively large poplar tree, then took a bottle of mineral water from the car, uncapped it, and handed it to He Huihui.

Although the little girl was wearing a round-brimmed sun hat, her black clothes really absorbed the light, and you could already see the slight beads of sweat on her temples.

"Your parents will probably be furious when they see this note." At this moment, he actually admired the girl's courage to pursue love.

“No, my reputation back home is already terrible. It’s good to come out and find some peace and quiet.” He Huihui was probably tired of standing, so she bent down and squatted down. “At the end of last year, Huang Ma had someone investigate my affairs abroad and warned me afterwards not to pester her son anymore.”

"I neither agreed nor refused. Maybe Huang Ma thought I was being unreasonable, so she started to spread rumors about me abroad."

Yu Dawei was startled upon hearing this. In his memory, Huang Ma was always very gentle and caring towards them. He never expected that she would go to such lengths for the sake of the child. Perhaps every capable businesswoman has such a ruthless and decisive side when it comes to doing things.

Yu Dawei could still imagine Huang Ma transforming into a strong woman, after all, he had the opportunity to meet her a few times when they were in Qingcheng.

He turned around and looked at He Huihui with a hint of schadenfreude: "Then you've really offended Aunt Huang. She rarely does anything so forceful."

"Yeah, I really offended Aunt Huang last time. She went to my parents and threatened them once, but the more she threatened me, the more dismissive she became. I just wanted to know what tricks this old hag could have against me. She's nothing special." He Huihui smiled disdainfully, reached into her bag, took out a box of Marlboro cigarettes, pulled one out, and put it in her mouth.

"You don't mind if I smoke, do you?"

Yu Dawei shrugged and squatted down next to her: "The world is big, just smoke whatever you want."

Considering that this girl is the same age as Manzi, she must be 22 this year, no longer a little girl, so I didn't remind her that smoking is harmful to her health.

In adulthood, the power of choice is in your own hands, and you must be responsible for your actions.

"Where do you live?" Yu Dawei asked again.

“At a hotel in town, I come here on the shuttle bus during the day and go back with Huang Man at night.” He Huihui’s gaze then turned to the excavator not far away.

Yu Dawei sighed: "If I'm not mistaken, the barbarian didn't even acknowledge you."

He Huihui's breath hitched, then her expression turned bitter: "I was just being presumptuous. I plan to stay a few more days and then go back."

Yu Dawei glanced at the other person, but unusually remained silent.

When the other person talked about things abroad, Yu Dawei roughly knew that this girl had most likely encountered one or more of those three things.

Yu Dawei had promised Huang's mother that he would take good care of Huang Man. If he supported Huang Man being with this girl, he was really worried that Huang Man would be played to death by her in the future.

To put it bluntly, judging from He Huihui's impulsive and energetic demeanor, she's clearly not the type of person who can settle down easily. Who knows what kind of trouble she might cause in the future?

But if he does nothing, it would seem that he, as the boss, is too heartless.

“Brother Yu, you don’t need to worry. I came here this time purely out of my own choice. Whether he pays attention to me or you help me is not within my consideration.” He Huihui forced a smile as she turned her head. “I don’t really know what liking or loving is. It’s just that ever since Huang Man left, I’ve been missing him a lot. I can’t help but recall how he took such good care of me.”

"Sigh." Yu Dawei sighed, but still added, "Manzi's thinking is a bit slower than that of ordinary people, so you have to understand that in his eyes, love, family affection, and friendship are not so clearly understood; they are all just emotions."

"So, to put it bluntly, you might really be just trying to move yourself." Yu Dawei still shamelessly tore off the fig leaf. If he didn't say it, he would feel sorry for the girl's long journey and for the promise he made to take care of Huang Man.

Sure enough, after saying that, He Huihui fell into a daze for a long time, and Yu Dawei beside her did not disturb her.

Yu Dawei arrived in the afternoon, and soon it was evening. After Huang Man finished his work, he took two people and drove an SUV to town to treat He Huihui to a meal.

After all, He Huihui had once helped them with translation, and when the group was eating and chatting, they even talked about the German man who had helped them before.

During the meal, in an effort to liven up the atmosphere, Yu Dawei took out his new phone, which he hadn't yet registered for, and showed it off to Manzi and He Huihui.

However, he was proven wrong the next second. First, He Huihui casually took out a mobile phone from her bag. Then Huang Man also confessed that he had one too, but he didn't use it usually, so he put it in his suitcase.

Huang Man even thought this thing was worse than a brick. When he called his mother to let her know he was safe, it wasn't as convenient as going to a phone booth.

Yu Dawei then realized that the two people in front of him were definitely rich second-generation heirs. He didn't know He Huihui's family situation, but how could he not know Huang Ma's family situation? He had just asked for trouble.

Suddenly, my Nokia 2110 doesn't seem so appealing anymore.

After the meal, Yu Dawei and Huang Man took He Huihui to the hotel.

Standing outside the hotel, you can see crowds of people inside and hear all sorts of noises.

A girl from the south, from out of town, came to such a strange and dangerous place for the sake of so-called "love," while the man she was being pursued by was someone who was not sensitive to the dangers around him.

How could Huang Man possibly notice the hardships this girl had endured on her journey?

"Sigh, what a tragic fate." Yu Dawei put his hands in his pockets and turned away, not wanting to look anymore.
