When Xie Ming opened his eyes, he saw a sharp object aimed straight at his eye. The object's speed and decisiveness forced him to quickly turn his head to one side.

Even with a quick reaction, the sharp point of the object barely grazed his ear before piercing his left shoulder.

After stopping the movement, Xie Ming slowly moved his left hand from behind to the front.

He rubbed his shoulder, which had almost been pricked and dislocated, and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness! He wasn't too late, otherwise he would have been a one-eyed man for life.

Xie Ming glanced at the pencil still in his hand, then leaned back, buried himself in the blankets on the bed, rolled around twice, and then quickly got up, left the room, and ran downstairs.

"Naruko! Drink the hot soup you have on the stove before you go out!"

When Grandma Xie saw her grandson rushing downstairs and heading outside, she swayed as she stood up from the bamboo chair and took a few steps forward.

Xie Ming immediately pulled his foot back from the doorway, ran to the stove the old lady had mentioned, poured himself a bowl of soup at the perfect temperature, and gulped it down before replying, "Grandma, I'm going out to find my aunt. I'll be back this afternoon."

"Then tell your aunt not to come back to cook lunch either. I'll just eat whatever's available."

"good!"

After agreeing with Grandma Xie, he turned and left.

As soon as the mahogany door opened, the faint sounds of bustling crowds could be heard in the distance. Xie Ming ran wildly toward the lively street.

After navigating several old streets, he finally arrived at the main thoroughfare of the city, which was packed with people.

At this moment, both sides of the road were lined with neatly dressed students. Seeing the car slowly approaching in the distance, the students excitedly shouted, "Welcome! Welcome! A warm welcome..."

The boys wore white shirts and black pants, while the girls wore white shirts and short skirts, with bright red scarves fluttering in the wind on their chests.

The plastic flowers in the hands of the younger students were swaying vigorously in accordance with the slogans.

Older students, holding hula hoops, stood in place and energetically performed aerobics.

Xie Ming immediately spotted his aunt in the crowd, who was earnestly blowing a whistle.

He squeezed his way through the crowd, and it took him a while to finally reach his aunt's side among the elderly people.

It was too noisy at the moment, so Xie Ming could only reach out and pull his aunt, whose face was flushed with excitement, to his side and ask, "Do you have any colleagues to help you?"

Xie Junlan was annoyed when she was suddenly pulled out of the line and was about to scold him when she saw her nephew's face with a look of great concern.

Her heart skipped a beat: "The leaders are almost there, my students can retreat immediately, just wait a few more minutes."

Xie Ming pointed to the prominent shop sign behind him: "I'll wait for you there!"

Xie Junlan nodded and went to find her colleagues.

This world is a planet similar to Earth, and it is around the same time that XG returned.

The reason why Xie Ming's county town is so lively today is because of the "abolition of the county and establishment of the city". The former Chuyang County has been officially renamed Chuyang City.

On that day, almost all citizens crowded into the streets, and schools and government agencies actively prepared various programs to welcome their superiors.

On this day in his previous life, a major event also occurred in the Xie family: Xie Ming poked out his left eye at home and became a one-eyed man.

The reason is actually quite funny; it's due to his current identity.

As the trend of triads swept the country at this time, "big brothers" sprang up everywhere like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, creating a vibrant and competitive scene.

Xie Ming is a notorious hoodlum in Chuyang City, who calls himself the Big Brother of Dongxing.

A few days ago, due to a gang conflict, he led his men in a fight with the rival gang, resulting in two of his brothers being seriously injured.

After the "great battle" ended and he saw his brothers in the hospital bed, he planned to cut off his left eye to give the gang an explanation and show his determination to take revenge.

Xie Ming, who had just returned: Uh... he was speechless.

The woman he had previously stopped was Xie Junlan, who was three years older than him. However, she was not a biological daughter of the Xie family, but an adopted daughter.

Xie Ming's father and mother died in an accident when he was born.

Grandma Xie only had one son, and she couldn't rely on any of her relatives. Without her pillar of support, she almost collapsed.

After the funeral, the old man thought that Xie Ming would have no one to help him in the future, so he wondered if he should find a reliable godparent.

Unfortunately, after searching high and low, she couldn't find a suitable candidate. Just then, a little girl who had lost her parents appeared in front of her in a nearby alley.

The girl was originally supposed to go with the orphanage, but since she happened to be related to the Xie family, the old lady decided to take her in.

This person is Xie Ming's aunt, Xie Junlan.

The old lady had a selfish reason for wanting Xie Junlan to take better care of Xie Ming, so she didn't recognize Xie Junlan as her granddaughter, but instead recognized her as her daughter.

After they started living together, the old lady only favored Xie Ming a little; otherwise, she never mistreated Xie Junlan.

The two families lived in the same alley, and Xie Ming and Xie Junlan were considered relatives. Since they had both lost their parents, they could find solace in each other.

From then on, three generations of the Xie family lived together.

With the inheritance left by Xie Ming and Xie Junlan's parents, the three of them are living quite well.

However, their fates diverged after they entered high school. Aunt Xie was ambitious, passed the college entrance exam, and became a proud teacher, while her nephew was influenced by the prevailing trends and became a notorious hoodlum.

One is a teacher who nurtures students, while the other ruins their futures. The topic of conversation between these two is the most popular among the residents of the alleyway.

Regardless, the Xie family remained calm until Xie Ming poked out his left eye, after which the Xie family never had a peaceful day again.

In his past life, Xie Ming knocked himself unconscious because his actions were too ruthless.

It wasn't until Xie Junlan returned home from get off work at noon that she discovered Xie Ming with a pencil stuck in his eye.

She hurriedly asked her neighbors to carry the person to the hospital, and Grandma Xie also fell down because of her anxiety.
