All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

"They're both dead! They're both dead!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd sighed with regret. Cheng Jianjun, who had just finished dressing, felt a surge of secret joy upon hearing this.

Han Chunming, aren't you so great? What's the use of saving a dead person? They'll just come after you later!

Su Meng was also in the crowd at that moment. Seeing the two pale-faced young people lying motionless on the ground, tears streamed down her face. She covered her mouth, trying to hold back her tears, but in the end, she couldn't bear to see this scene and ran crying out of the crowd.

Hearing the gasps of the crowd, Han Chunming forced himself to stand up despite his exhaustion and shouted at the crowd.

"Get the hell out of the way! Who said they're all dead? Move aside!"

Han Chunming's words made everyone take notice of him, and finally opened a gap in the crowd.

Han Chunming, hands on his hips, feeling utterly exhausted, squeezed through the crowd, glanced at the two people on the ground, and then half-helped up the young man who had fallen into the water first, beginning to administer first aid.

Han Chunming held the other man's waist and casually pressed his hand down to the man's abdomen and chest. With a gentle, even pressure, the young man felt as if something was stuck in his throat. His pale face instantly turned red, and then a stream of water gushed out of his mouth and nose.

This scene stunned the surrounding crowd, and everyone looked at Han Chunming with a different gaze now.

Han Chunming didn't care about all that. This person had been drowning for too long, and this was only the first step. His current act of spitting out water was just a subconscious reaction, and he was not yet fully conscious. Now, he had to give the other person a stronger stimulus.

Han Chunming then began to massage the other man's chest and stomach with his palms. After massaging for more than ten seconds and feeling the other man's heartbeat, he slapped the other man's back hard. This slap made the young man feel as if he had been electrocuted, and his body straightened up instantly. Then, as if he had just had a nightmare, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were red and swollen, and he jumped up from Han Chunming's knees in fright.

This startled the onlookers, who jumped back in fright, and several people nearly fell to the ground.

From being completely silent to suddenly jumping up and running around, it only took less than a minute. That's amazing!

Everyone looked at Han Chunming with shock, but Han Chunming ignored their gazes and immediately began treating another person.

The person hadn't been in the water for long; their heartbeat was still strong, but their lips were pale and their breathing was very weak. Han Chunming immediately picked them up and gently nudged their abdomen with his knee. The person instantly regained consciousness and began vomiting violently onto the ground.

After vomiting for a while, the person finally opened their eyes groggily. Seeing the crowd around them, they breathed a sigh of relief, stood up weakly, and looked around blankly.

The other young man had also come to his senses by this time. After the shock, his physical condition quickly deteriorated, and he sat weakly against a rock. He looked at Han Chunming with gratitude in his eyes, but he was too weak to say a word.

Han Chunming smiled and gave the other person an encouraging look, then squeezed out of the crowd, picked up his clothes and shoes from the ground, and began to put them on.

The surrounding crowd was all looking at Han Chunming, their eyes filled with joy, shock, and admiration.

Several people came forward to offer compliments, but Han Chunming smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was what he should do, and then squeezed in front of Su Meng.

Su Meng was so shocked by what she had just witnessed that she was speechless and stood there blankly. Han Chunming walked up to her and said something to her.

"What are you thinking? Hurry up and let's go! We didn't buy tickets, and I won't be responsible if we get caught!"

After saying this with a sly grin, Han Chunming turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, striding towards the depths of the park. Su Meng finally came to her senses and hurriedly followed him.

Cheng Jianjun glanced at Su Meng and Han Chunming's backs, gritted his teeth, and finally followed them.

As the crowd watched Han Chunming's retreating figure, they immediately began to murmur among themselves, saying, "Doing good deeds without seeking recognition, what a true hero!"

The two young men who were rescued were also in a daze. Looking at Han Chunming's back, they wanted to get up and say thank you, but they didn't have the strength. They could only let Han Chunming's figure disappear from everyone's sight.

After leaving the crowd's sight, Han Chunming lost interest in continuing to stroll in the park and turned to walk towards the wall.

Su Meng followed behind Han Chunming, her face showing no sign of grievance. Her eyes, which had just been crying, were exceptionally bright. Looking at Han Chunming's back, her face was full of pride, and she occasionally showed a strange shyness, as if she was thinking about something.

If Han Chunming were to turn around and see the little girl's expression right now, he would probably curse inwardly, realizing that his charm was irresistible!

Cheng Jianjun, standing behind her, remained silent with a dark expression throughout, showing no interest in trying to please Su Meng in front of him.

In Su Meng's eyes, his actions just now made him a mere background figure for Han Chunming. He probably became a negative example in Su Meng's mind now.

Cheng Jianjun was very unhappy, extremely unhappy. Looking at the way Su Meng looked at Han Chunming, he wished he could rush up to Han Chunming and stomp on his butt. Now he felt not only jealous of Han Chunming, but also a hint of hatred!

It was all Han Chunming's doing that got him into this mess!

Han Chunming, you bastard! I, Cheng Jianjun, will make you pay one day! Just you wait! Just you wait!

Chapter Four: Taozi

Along the way, Han Chunming looked at Su Meng, who was like a persistent leech, and felt quite helpless.

When the three arrived at the bus stop, Han Chunming realized that he still didn't have any money on him. He was wondering whether to continue to evade fares or think of another way.

Cheng Jianjun, who was following behind, suddenly noticed Han Chunming looking around and remembered this incident. His face lit up with joy, and he stepped forward without saying a word to stand in front of Han Chunming.

Han Chunming looked at Cheng Jianjun who was stepping forward and immediately knew that this old schemer was definitely going to embarrass him again. He then smiled, stepped forward, patted Cheng Jianjun on the shoulder, and asked.

"Jianjun, can I borrow a dime to take the bus?"

Upon hearing Han Chunming's words, Cheng Jianjun snorted inwardly, but outwardly pretended to be generous and smiled as he spoke.

"Okay, I'll give it to you when you get in the car!"

Seeing that Cheng Jianjun agreed so readily, Han Chunming immediately guessed what this cunning old man was planning to do, but he didn't expose him and waited with a smile for the bus to arrive.

Soon, the bus arrived, and the three of them boarded one after the other. Su Meng's eyes were now only on Han Chunming, and she stood closely behind him in the carriage.

Soon, the ticket seller shouted into the crowded carriage.

"Buy your tickets now! If you have a monthly pass, show it. If you don't, buy your ticket now!"

Upon hearing the ticket seller's call, Cheng Jianjun immediately raised his hand and shouted back.

"Big sister, big sister, I want to buy a ticket!"

At this shout, the ticket seller looked at Cheng Jianjun and squeezed past him. Cheng Jianjun smiled and started taking money out of his pocket. As soon as he did so, his expression changed. He rummaged around for a bit and finally managed to pull out a small bill. He handed the money to the ticket seller while saying something to Su Meng and Han Chunming in front of him.

"Su Meng, Chunming, I'm sorry, I only have one cent left in my pocket, just enough for the bus fare. You'll have to pay for it yourselves!"

Cheng Jianjun's voice was quite loud, and as soon as the ticket seller heard it, she immediately looked at Su Meng and Han Chunming.

Han Chunming didn't care, but when Su Meng heard this, her face instantly turned red, and she looked around in a panic. Her flustered expression seemed to be telling the ticket seller that she didn't have any money.

Su Meng looked at Cheng Jianjun with a pleading expression, but Cheng Jianjun looked troubled and spread his hands with a guilty look.

"Su Meng, I'm so sorry, I think I left my money in the park. I probably won't be able to find it even if I go back now!"

Su Meng felt like everyone on the bus was looking at her. She had never done anything so humiliating in her life, and her eyes were red.

Seeing Su Meng's troubled expression, Cheng Jianjun's lips curled into a mocking smile. He felt incredibly pleased with himself; he wanted to embarrass Su Meng and force her to get off the bus by the ticket seller.

Then I'll play the good guy again, pretend I found another penny, buy Su Meng a train ticket, and kick that annoying Han Chunming off the train. I'll gain Su Meng's favor in return, killing two birds with one stone!

Han Chunming yawned. He remembered that Su Meng had brought money in the original novel, but she had put it in her handkerchief and forgotten about it. Now, seeing Cheng Jianjun, that old schemer, always thinking of plotting against him, made him feel uncomfortable.

The ticket seller realized that Su Meng and Han Chunming probably didn't have any money, so she frowned and scolded them.

"Why are you taking the bus if you don't have any money? Get off from the back!"

Upon hearing this, Su Meng finally couldn't bear the grievance any longer and began to sob with her head down. Seeing that the effect was about right, Cheng Jianjun quickly reached into his shirt pocket, pretended to be casual, and took out the one-cent coin he had prepared. He then called out to the ticket seller with a look of surprise.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I found another dime. I'll use it to buy her a ticket. Chunming, I'm so sorry, I searched everywhere before I found this one dime!"

Han Chunming gave Cheng Jianjun a meaningful look, then stepped closer to Su Meng and whispered in her ear.

"I see you have some money in your handkerchief, take it out, why should we make Cheng Jianjun buy the tickets!"

Su Meng was secretly pleased when she heard Cheng Jianjun say that he had found another ten cents. But when she heard Han Chunming's words, she quickly reached into her pocket, took out a white handkerchief, and opened it. Sure enough, there were two one-yuan bills inside.

Seeing the money in her hand, Su Meng was completely stunned, then she was so happy she almost jumped up. She grabbed Han Chunming's arm, and without paying attention to the occasion, she took the money and shouted to the ticket seller.

"Auntie, we'd like to buy tickets, two tickets!"

The ticket seller took the one yuan from Su Meng's hand, took out eight mao from her purse and gave it to her, then tore off two black tickets for her and ignored the two of them.

Su Meng took the money, beaming with joy, when she saw Han Chunming suddenly break free from her arm. Only then did Su Meng realize that she had just hugged Han Chunming's arm. Her face flushed red, she lowered her head, took out a dime from her change, and turned to Cheng Jianjun, who also gave her a rather unfriendly look.

"Here's your one cent back for the train ticket you bought this morning!"

Cheng Jianjun looked at Su Meng awkwardly as she stuffed the money into his hand. Looking at the two cents in his hand, Cheng Jianjun felt a burning mix of embarrassment and anger. "That bitch Su Meng! Han Chunming, you bastard! You know Su Meng has money, yet you still made me look bad! I'll remember this! I'll remember this!"

This little incident passed quickly. When the three of them returned home, Cheng Jianjun wanted to explain to Su Meng, but Su Meng raised her chin, snorted, and ignored him.

Su Meng greeted Han Chunming with a smile, then tiptoed towards the backyard.

She was very happy today. Although Han Chunming was acting strangely today, his heroic act of bravery was deeply engraved in her heart. It was the first time she realized that Han Chunming was so outstanding and truly a man of hidden talent!

Cheng Jianjun watched Su Meng walk away with a bitter expression. When he turned around, he saw Han Chunming looking at him with a smirk. Suddenly, an inexplicable anger surged up in his heart again.

Seeing Cheng Jianjun's scheming expression, Han Chunming already guessed what the guy was thinking. He then smiled and stepped forward to put his arm around Cheng Jianjun's shoulder.

"Jianjun, you seem really unhappy with me. What's wrong with you? You like Su Meng, don't you? If you like her, go after her!"

Cheng Jianjun didn't give Han Chunming a friendly look at the moment, and snorted with a sour expression.

Han Chunming chuckled and said earnestly.

"Do you know why Su Meng dislikes you? There's a saying that bystanders see things more clearly, you know? You have serious problems yourself!"

Upon hearing Han Chunming's words, Cheng Jianjun immediately became interested and listened intently, waiting to hear what Han Chunming had to say.

Han Chunming remained silent, then released Cheng Jianjun's shoulder, yawned, and said...

"Forget it, I was originally planning to have a serious talk with you, but you didn't appreciate it, so I had to give up. Forget it, forget it, what a waste of my good intentions!"

As he spoke, Han Chunming turned to leave. Upon seeing this, Cheng Jianjun quickly stepped forward, grabbed Han Chunming, and said with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong with me? Explain yourself!"

Han Chunming broke free, yawned, and turned to go back to his room, leaving Cheng Jianjun still looking suspicious.

Cheng Jianjun was a cunning man. After hearing Han Chunming's words and considering Su Meng's impression of him, he really pondered for a long time whether there was something about him that Su Meng disliked.

When Han Chunming returned home, he saw that his mother was already cooking. He quickly went over with a smile, grabbed a piece of green vegetable from the pot, threw it into his mouth, chewed a little, and gave a thumbs up.

"Mom's cooking is still the best!"

Helpless, Han's mother smiled and urged him to go inside.

In the evening, Han Chunming's older brothers and sisters also came. No one noticed anything different about Han Chunming. Everyone chatted and ate at the dinner table, creating a harmonious scene.

The whole family was eating at a small table. Han Chunming didn't even have a seat. He picked up a handful of vegetables and sat down on the edge of the bed. That's how the Han family is. Han Chunming is the youngest and has the least say. In the eyes of all his older brothers and sisters, he is still like a child who hasn't grown up. They have called him Xiao Wu his whole life.

His older brothers and sisters are all ordinary people with families and heavy burdens. However, compared to the current rural areas, the living conditions of the Han family are not bad. Every Saturday, Han's mother specially prepares a large table of dishes. Although there is not much meat, it is still quite plentiful and better than what they usually eat at home.

The Han family, young and old, lived in relative harmony. They were all ordinary people, so there was nothing to argue about. Perhaps it was because everyone was poor in this era that there were few conflicts. However, Han Chunming never thought of showing off in this era; he was content with a simple and peaceful life.

On Monday, Han Chunming was woken up early by his mother, only then remembering that he had to go to work at the food factory today. His mother prepared breakfast and gave Han Chunming an extra two yuan for pocket money, afraid that he would not eat well outside.

Han Chunming walked happily, took the city bus to the factory, paid five cents for the ticket, and boarded the bus without hesitation. Looking at the passengers, most of them were going to work at the factory like him, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Having traveled to so many worlds, I don't think I've ever actually worked in a factory like an ordinary person. Back then, Sha Zhu was just a cook in a factory, and he lived right next to the steel rolling mill, so he had a lot of freedom. Now, experiencing what it's like to be a worker again is quite nice.

Outside the car, there were many men and women riding bicycles to work. These days, a new bicycle costs more than two or three hundred yuan, while Han Chunming, a newbie who has just started working, only earns thirty or forty yuan a month. Ordinary workers with a little more experience earn only forty or fifty yuan. They can only buy a bicycle after saving every penny for a year.
