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

Chapter 616 Bringing the elderly home, prohibiting them from watching cartoons.
Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye. The year is getting closer and closer. Recently, I have been having more and more meals with the town leaders. Not only him, but Duan Dahai and Lao Liang are also frequently invited.

Seeing that the approval for the town to be converted into a county was not being granted, the leaders thought of giving Yu Dawei and the other two some more tangible benefits and expanding the factory area, which might attract more people from other towns.

But just as Yu Dawei had analyzed to his wife, turning Luhe Town into a hub of political harmony and social stability was not something that could be accomplished overnight. However, the town's leaders seemed to see that Yu Dawei and Duan Dahai were going to leave the town to develop elsewhere, and were desperately trying to find ways to keep them there.

Finally, Yu Dawei and the other two made a private discussion and decided that before completely shifting their focus to other places, they should try one last time. Firstly, this was their hometown after all, and secondly, regardless of whether it succeeded or not, at least it would prevent the young people in their hometown from having to go out to work as migrant workers because they couldn't earn money.

The three of them didn't have a clear idea of ​​how to help Luhe Town attract tourists. Lao Liang was full of ideas and had previously said he wanted to turn the Hetao area into a tourist resort.

Before Duan Dahai could react, Yu Dawei stopped him. He clearly remembered that in his previous life, a southerner turned the Hetao area into a tourist attraction and ended up losing everything.

Nowadays, most families don't have the spare money to travel, so please don't do anything like that.

Ultimately, the plan fell through, and this matter of helping the town develop still needs to be considered in the long term.

Just as Yu Dawei was preparing to take a few days off before the New Year, he suddenly received a call from Yu Dafu.

On the phone, Dafu said he was going to drive to Hohhot to see his aunt, and then pick up his parents from his sixth sister's house on his way back.

My sixth sister lives in a poor mountain village below Hohhot. It's alright in the summer, but driving alone in the winter is really dangerous.

Yu Dawei originally planned to suggest that Dafu wait until next spring to bring his grandparents back, but then he suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had also driven to Hohhot with Dafu around this time in his previous life.

In his past life, he was too ashamed to face his aunt and uncle. The reason he went was because he heard that his mother was sick and he wanted to go and see her.

He remembered his mother's heart disease and finally decided to give her some medicine. He agreed to Dafu's request, but this time, Yu Dawei suggested that he drive his own car.

His Land Cruiser is big and has a large grip area. With anti-skid tires, it's better than Dafu's second-hand off-road vehicle.

He vividly remembered that in his past life, the two brothers had just driven to the Greater Khingan Mountains when their car broke down halfway there. If it weren't for a kind driver who helped them tow the car for a while, the two of them and their child would definitely have been trapped deep in the mountains.

That's right. Accompanying Yu Dawei this time was his eldest son, Yu Muyu. Just like in the previous life, as soon as he heard that he was going on a long trip, Yu Muyu excitedly ran to him and wanted to go with him.

Yu Dawei originally planned to bring Han Jingfan along, but she couldn't leave during this time because the tutoring center was busy during the winter and summer vacations, so he gave up on the idea.

Anyway, it's only for a few days, I'll be back soon.

Before leaving, Yu Dawei made a point of telling Lao Liang's wife to take good care of Han Jingfan, and only then did Yu Dawei leave with peace of mind.

Our first stop was to drive my son to Yu Dafu's house.

Because Yu Dawei had prepared some local specialties at home, it was already afternoon when he arrived at Yu Dafu's house.

Dafu's home is in the oil city development zone. It's a large single-level apartment with four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. When you enter the door, you can see the spacious living room and a huge TV next to the door.

There are various toys in front of the sofa, and on the right is a relatively large Kabuto robot, which looks like something from the Metal Hero series. They are all placed on the sofa.

Yu Dawei also saw a two- or three-year-old toddler sitting on the sofa playing with toys. When he saw Yu Dawei and his eldest son, the little boy looked very curious.

"Brother, there are slippers over there. Nephew, change into your slippers." Yu Dafu went in first and put on his slippers. Just as he finished speaking, he saw a woman carrying a spatula come out of the kitchen on the right.

"Big brother's here! Sit with your nephew for a bit, the food will be ready soon." The woman greeted Yu Dawei, then quickly went into the kitchen.

"Tsk tsk, it's been a long time. Your wife looks much more well-off. She must be having a happy married life," Yu Dawei joked to his cousin as he changed into his slippers.

"Hehe, how could we not be happy to have a big, healthy son? It's just that we're both busy and have to take care of the baby, so we're a bit overwhelmed right now." Yu Dafu reached out and took his older brother's and nephew's coats, then turned around and casually hung them on the mahogany coat rack next to him. "This time, when I went to pick up my parents, I thought I'd have them come here, partly to take care of them in their old age, and partly to help look after the baby."

"How's Sixth Sister doing?" Yu Dawei took out some of the hazel mushrooms he had brought, put them in a small gift box, and placed them on the shoe cabinet.

“It’s great. Besides my parents, my in-laws take care of the child every day. My sixth sister’s health has also recovered well. She used to catch colds easily, but after giving birth, she’s gotten much better. I heard she doesn’t catch colds much anymore.” Yu Dafu said, beckoning to his son on the sofa, “Xiao Cong, come here quickly. Your uncle and your older brother are here. Come and say hello.”

However, the child on the sofa clearly didn't understand what his father was saying. He looked up at the two strangers and then continued playing with his toys.

"Don't make things difficult for the child. What can such a little kid understand?" Yu Dawei said, stopping him. "Just tell your sister-in-law to cook a couple of simple dishes. It's not like we're strangers. A whole table full of food is too much for them to eat."

As soon as Yu Dawei walked in, he saw a table full of dishes on the right: squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, old-fashioned tomato and sweet and sour pork, sauerkraut stew with vermicelli, stir-fried pork with green peppers and pork heart, cold cold noodles...

“Ahem,” Yu Dafu coughed lightly as a tactical move, then whispered in Yu Dawei’s ear, “Don’t be fooled by the large number of dishes. She ordered them all from the restaurant. She only actually cooked two dishes: one was vegetables with dipping sauce, and the other was in the pot… probably peanuts.”

Yu Dawei's lips twitched. Good heavens! His sister-in-law's cooking skills were exactly the same as in his previous life. He had thought that seeing her take the initiative to cook in this life meant that she had made great progress.

"Alright then, it's not easy to roast peanuts properly, so don't look down on them."

"Oh dear, how could I dare? I only get a hot meal every day, and it's all thanks to her getting up in the middle of the night to heat it up for me." Yu Dafu wouldn't dare say "no" to his wife.

Although my wife is three years older than me, the old saying "marrying a woman three years older is like finding a gold brick" is really true. She is considerate, caring, and doesn't easily lose her temper.

Even when I lose my temper, the other person can still understand me from my perspective.

Moreover, they are quite tolerant of various positions, which is really impressive!
He increasingly felt that his choice was very wise.

"Nephew, go play with your little brother. I'm going to chat with your dad for a bit." Yu Dafu looked down and noticed that there was a little follower next to his older brother. He smiled and pointed towards the sofa, "We have some plates at home. I'll go put them on for you."

"No need, Uncle, I can put them in. I put in all the DVDs at home." Yu Muyu said as she ran to the sofa, greeted her cousin first, and then the two children, one big and one small, went to get the DVDs.

In Northeast China, CDs are also called optical discs, but most people prefer to simply call them discs.

Yu Dafu's child was difficult to please, so they bought him a lot of cartoon DVDs.

Yu Dawei flipped through it; there were things like Blue Cat's 3000 Questions and Teletubbies...

Yu Muyu had never actually seen any of these. His family's DVDs were all on the International Phonetic Alphabet, various piano pieces, and educational and story-based content. His mother never bought him or allowed him to watch cartoons. Also, because Yu Muyu had to practice piano and attend extracurricular classes on weekdays, he simply didn't have time to watch these kinds of things.

He couldn't help but look at his father, after all, his mother had said that he wasn't allowed to watch cartoons.

"See? It's alright. Don't tell your mom when you get back." Yu Dawei saw his eldest son looking at him expectantly, gave him a reassuring look, and waved his hand.

Han Jingfan doesn't like letting her child watch cartoons. She doesn't even allow her child to watch TV. She usually only lets Yu Muyu watch educational DVDs in her spare time.

Things like "Man and Nature," "The History of Music at Home and Abroad," and classic TV dramas and films, such as "Teahouse" and "Rickshaw Boy."

She always felt that some cartoons were too bloody, and some of them had questionable values. In addition, Xiao Muyu had a lot to do every day, so she didn't let her watch them.

Yu Dawei, on the other hand, felt that there was nothing wrong with watching an animated film. It was created for children, and they were the ones who should enjoy it the most.

However, due to family relationships and his social standing, Yu Dawei only offered a small suggestion.

Meanwhile, after watching Blue Cat's 3000 Questions, Yu Muyu seemed to have opened up a new world. It seemed that the cartoon her mother had mentioned wasn't as bad as she had imagined.

After finding the evidence, Yu Muyu secretly made up her mind that she would talk to her mother properly when she got back, and she had to fight for her right to watch cartoons.

“My sister-in-law really knows how to raise a child. This kid is proficient in everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting. Last time back in our hometown, I saw this little guy even drawing a sketch of his grandma.” Yu Dafu couldn’t help but admire softly, “The drawing looks just like my mom.”

"It's all thanks to Xiaoyu's godmother. Those two sisters seem determined to raise their child into someone who can do everything. But things are much better now. They're focusing on cultivating his interests, and his godmother has gone back to her hometown and probably won't be back anytime soon." Yu Dawei initially supported a multifaceted approach to educating his son.

However, I could tell that the child was too tired, so I turned a blind eye to it and would drive to pick him up from his extracurricular class and take him out to play whenever I had free time.

Yu Muyu's life has been much harder than his previous one. At least since Tie Zhuzi left, he has never had a carefree and happy time. However, there are advantages. He has many special skills, and because he is young, he learns things quickly. Even if he doesn't use them for a long time, he can pick them up again when needed.

"What are your plans for visiting your aunt this time?" Yu Dawei suddenly asked out of the blue.

Yu Dafu naturally knew what his elder brother was asking, and nodded immediately: "I can't go for nothing. I have some spare money now, and I plan to pay back the money I owe my aunt."

Yu Dafu owed a lot of money back then. His second uncle helped pay off most of it after he found out. In fact, there was a small portion that his aunt paid off first with her own savings after she found out.

If it weren't for the money his aunt had advanced, Yu Dafu might not have even been able to leave Hohhot.

This time, not only did he pay back the debt with interest, but he also bought a lot of gifts for his aunt and uncle, all of which were carefully selected by Yu Dafu.

It can be seen as a way to make up for the past.

Yu Dawei also wanted to make up for it, but he was much more straightforward. In addition to some wild hazel mushrooms and ginseng, he also prepared 200,000 yuan in an extra card.

During his school years, he ate and drank at his aunt's expense, which added up to quite a bit of money. The elderly couple never really cared about the money, and a large part of the reason Yu Dawei didn't care before was because they didn't have the money.

Now that I have money, taking out one or two hundred thousand is both a way of repaying a debt of gratitude and a form of compensation.

After dinner, Yu Muyu was still watching cartoons on the sofa. Yu Dawei saw this but didn't say anything. However, he secretly made up his mind that he would never let Yu Muyu watch cartoons again.

In comparison, he wasn't very interested in the toys on the floor, perhaps because he already had those toys at home.

Yu Dawei bought all the toys he never had in his past life for his eldest son in this one.

He not only has the Iron Man set on the ground, including Kabuto and Kabuto Giant, but he has even collected the entire series from Yu Dawei.

There are also the Iron-Blooded Train Hero series, the Ultraman series, and various circuit assembly toys, etc.

Although I may not know the names of the toys, since I haven't watched any related anime or anything, my eldest son will definitely not lack toys.

Before going to bed, Yu Dawei told Xiao Muyu to go to sleep early.

Perhaps to make watching cartoons more convenient, the little one volunteered to sleep on the sofa.

Yu Dawei thought to himself that his own child wasn't someone who couldn't control himself, so he decided to let him sleep.

Unexpectedly, the slap in the face came very quickly. When Yu Dawei got up the next morning, he saw his child lying on the sofa watching cartoons. The way his eyelids were practically numb but he was still staring at the TV made Yu Dawei both angry and heartbroken.

Finally, he turned off the TV. When the three of them were about to leave, Yu Muyu fell asleep on the back seat as soon as she got in the car.

I ate and slept the whole way, barely waking up more than a few times.

"Sigh, it seems your sister-in-law was right. Cartoons are just too attractive to kids. If Xiao Fan finds out I let the child watch cartoons, he'll definitely be furious with me." Yu Dawei sighed repeatedly as he drove.

"Oh, it's alright, brother. Kids like things for a while, it's just a phase. Just keep an eye on them a bit and they'll be fine," Yu Dafu waved his hand dismissively.

Little did they know that Yu Muyu in the back seat was dreaming about fighting with her mother for her right to watch cartoons, speaking with great passion, almost standing on the table and shouting "Long live cartoons!"

The car started from the city of Youcheng and headed north. At first, it was on the highway and the speed was very fast.

However, once they reached the vicinity of the Greater Khingan Mountains, because there were no expressways and only winding mountain roads, their speed gradually slowed down, and the two brothers even had to be extra careful when taking turns driving.

I was terrified that the car might slip and fall off the mountain!

Fortunately, it was the inner road, and the car was driving close to the mountain wall. But thinking about the way back, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little scared.

It was only then that Yu Dawei belatedly realized that while his car was stable, it was too big, and it would be a real risk if an oncoming car came at him.
