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

Chapter 401 What Should and Shouldn't Be Said
Yu Dawei followed his second uncle, Yu Cong, to a small courtyard in Shenzhen. The courtyard was about the same size as a small vegetable garden in the countryside.

Yu Dawei glanced back and noticed that a space of about five square meters had been partitioned off in the southwest corner of the yard, specifically for growing vegetables. However, it seemed that his second uncle hadn't taken good care of it, as the vegetables were not as lush as the weeds.

"We're here, old woman! Look who's here!" Uncle Er shouted into the house in the courtyard, and the last woman, a hunched-over old woman carrying a red enamel basin in her hands, came out.

"What are you shouting for! Have you forgotten what the neighbors were saying about you a few days ago?" The old woman first gave her husband a reproachful look, and then looked up at Yu Dawei.

However, the other person's back was always hunched over, seemingly due to old age, making it impossible for them to straighten their back like they did when they were young.

"Second Aunt, I'm from Yujiatun. My father is Yu Laonian." Yu Dawei was a little worried that Second Aunt wouldn't be able to see him clearly if she looked up, so he deliberately bent over so that she wouldn't have to strain to look up.

"Yu Laonian? You're the eldest son of Lao Jiu's family?" The old lady's eyes were blurry, and she narrowed her eyes as she looked at Yu Dawei's face, as if this gesture would allow her to see him more clearly.

"It's been so many years! You've grown so much! Come on in!" Aunt Er put the basin of water on the broken stool by the door, grabbed Yu Dawei's hand, and led him into the house. "I'll get you some fruit. The fruit here in the south is so fresh. When did it arrive?"

"I've been here for several days, and today I just happened to run into Uncle Er at the entrance of the department store." Yu Dawei was passively pulled into the house, forcing a smile.

This elderly couple is really too enthusiastic.

"I'll call those kids right now and tell them to come back tonight!" The second uncle was both excited and happy. He walked quickly to the cabinet in the house, picked up the phone, and raised his slightly trembling fingers to stroke and press the number keys.

As people get older, their hands and feet inevitably become less nimble. Yu Dawei knew that the older members of the Yu family all had a problem: their hands would tremble involuntarily. Even his fourth uncle, Yu Huai, was powerless to help with this, because it was caused by old age and couldn't be cured.

He still clearly remembers that when his father was in his sixties, his hands would tremble violently when he held chopsticks to eat, even when they were suspended in mid-air.

"Hey? Boss, come back for dinner tonight. Your brother from the same village is here."

"Hey? Second brother, you better be back tonight! Stop being a bastard who's never home. Your wife has complained to me about it several times already. If I find out again, I'll break your legs!"

"Hey? Little one, come home tonight. One of your buddies from the village is here. Come back for dinner. This kid is a spitting image of your sixth grandpa. Come back!"

After hanging up the phone, Uncle Yu Cong picked up his cane again and looked at Yu Dawei with a smile: "Dawei, how old are you again this year?"

“Me? I was born in 1970, and I’m 24 this year,” Yu Dawei replied after peeling a mango and taking a bite.

The fruits in the south are indeed quite fresh. After washing some fruit for him, the old lady busied herself preparing the ingredients for dinner.

“Then my youngest daughter is the same age as you. She was born in December, so she’s definitely younger than you on your birthday.” The second uncle sat on the sofa, his hands on his cane.

“Then I’m older, I was born in the first month of the lunar calendar.”

"Hehe, this is more than just a little big." The second uncle looked at Yu Dawei and saw that he was honest and straightforward, and his impression of the young man was getting better and better.

People from the Yu family are like that; they're always venturing out wherever they go.

"Is your dad alright?"

"It's alright! It's just that my back is giving out. I used to do repairs all year round and it wore me out. Now I can't do heavy work and can only do light jobs." Yu Dawei saw that there were still lychees in the fruit plate. He bought some a few days ago and they were much fresher than the ones he ate in Northeast China in his previous life.

While eating, he didn't forget to tell stories about the village: "Later, it was my fourth uncle who would help my dad take care of his health whenever he had time. Now that he doesn't do heavy work, he's not in any trouble."

"Hmph! The old stubborn man has begotten a little stubborn man. The fourth son is just like his father; he never breaks the rules when it comes to medical treatment." The second uncle got angry when he heard about Yu Huai, and slammed his cane against the tiles on the ground. "When I was leaving Yujiatun, the first person I looked for was him. With his family's medical skills passed down from his ancestors, you can imagine how well he'd live off the hospital wherever he went!"

"Huh? He just won't listen! He's so dogmatic! He still doesn't charge consultation fees for treating outsiders all these years, right?" When the second uncle asked, deep down he really wanted Xiao Si'er to be more flexible.

Times have changed so much. Could our ancestors control what happened back then? Can they control what happens now? You have to keep up with the times to avoid being left behind!

Yu Dawei shrugged and shook his head at the old man's questioning gaze, then continued eating his lychees. "I told you he's a dogmatic idiot! A stubborn old man!" The second uncle said, somewhat annoyed, and tapped the ground twice with his cane.

Yu Dawei figured it out: this second uncle must have had a notoriously bad temper when he was young, probably the kind of guy who would climb on roofs and tear off tiles from childhood.

"Oh dear! How old are you? Why are you still shouting and yelling every day! Be careful not to get angry to death." The old lady came back from picking vegetables outside, looking helpless and speechless. She had been with this man her whole life and had never seen him have a gentle temper. He was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

"I'm willing, don't bother me! I'm too old to walk now, otherwise I would definitely go back to the village right now and give those rigid and dogmatic guys a good talking to!" The second uncle's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he thought about it. "Here's what we'll do! Dawei, when you go back this time, tell the young people of your generation back home that if anyone wants to venture out and make a name for themselves, they should come to Shenzhen!"

"With me, an old man, protecting them in Shenzhen, I guarantee they won't starve! Damn it, they're all cowards, all they know how to do is hide in the mountains! If they listened to their parents, they'd never amount to anything!" On the surface, Uncle Er was disappointed in the Yu family in the village, but in reality, he also hoped that the Yu family's descendants would have a better future.

"Second Uncle, I can't make that decision! I'm just a car repairman, I don't have any influence in this village." Yu Dawei quickly swallowed the lychee flesh and then raised his hands above his head.

"You're talking nonsense. What's hanging on your belt? Do you think I'm blind?" Uncle Er rolled his eyes at Yu Dawei in annoyance. "I almost got it back then, but those stubborn old men believed that bastard Yu Quan until they died."

At this point, the second uncle unusually fell silent.

If Yu Cong was arrogant and unruly in Yujiatun, and no one could compare to him, then Yu Quan was the only one he truly admired, his cousin from the same clan.

He was just too conservative in his thinking, perhaps because his older brothers had died. He was ranked second not because he was the real second son, but because several of his brothers had died fighting the Japanese.

He knew that Yu Quan had been reckless in the past, but it seemed that from a certain moment on, the old man had lost his former sharpness!
Unlike Yu Cong, who was never inferior to anyone in his life!
Yu Dawei chatted with his second uncle for a while longer, mostly the second uncle asking about the recent situation in the village.

Upon learning that electricity had been brought to the village, even though Uncle Er disliked the villagers a thousand times over, he couldn't help but smile.

However, after learning that Yu Quan had helped a lot with the power supply, the second uncle's raised lips curled up again, as if he would have handled the matter better than Yu Quan had.

Several times during the conversation, the second uncle tried to subtly inquire about Yu Quan's recent situation. Although they didn't get along, the older brother was quite old.

However, at these times, Yu Dawei would always pretend to be stupid or change the subject. He did not tell his second uncle, Yu Cong, that his great-uncle had passed away.

He had a rough idea of ​​why his older brothers and sisters, whom he had never met, hadn't told his second uncle about it.

"Dad!" The first to rush back was the youngest daughter, who was wearing a black dress with a red bow on her chest and a small red handbag slung over her shoulder.

When the other person ran into the house from outside, he looked a little nervous. He first glanced at Yu Dawei, and then looked at his father.

"You're back, girl." The second uncle's expression softened considerably when he saw his youngest daughter. He didn't get up, but simply pointed to Yu Dawei with his finger. "Your cousin Yu Dawei is the same age as you, but his birthday is a little older, in the first month of the lunar calendar."

"Hello, Brother Dawei, my name is Yu Zhouzhou. If you need any help in Shenzhen, feel free to contact me anytime." Yu Zhouzhou subconsciously reached up and smoothed a lock of long hair from her forehead. She had her signature thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she also inherited her second aunt's small face (meaning she had a small face, a compliment).
When she forced a smile at Yu Dawei, she also winked meaningfully.

"You're too kind, sister. I'm just here to fix someone's car. I'll head back as soon as I'm done." Yu Dawei knew exactly what she wanted to say, and while returning her smile, he also gently shook his head.

"Hehe, your brother Dawei, you don't just repair ordinary vehicles, you repair imported construction machinery, like excavators and bulldozers." The second uncle looked at his youngest daughter, then sighed, "It's a pity that your other three sisters have all married far away, otherwise we could have all eaten together tonight."

"Oh, Dad, don't be so ungrateful. Didn't my second brother promise you he'd come back for dinner today?" The old maid sat down next to her father in a coquettish manner, comforting him with a smile.

Before coming, she had specifically called her two older brothers. As soon as they heard that someone from the village was coming, they were afraid that the other party would say something they shouldn't have, so they both put down what they were doing and rushed over here.

Looking back now, this young man named Yu Dawei is quite perceptive and doesn't seem at all dull or dull from living in a rural area for too long.

This made Yu Zhouzhou look at him with new respect.
