Among women of her age, her level of education is at least several levels higher.

She loved reading from a young age, so she deeply understood the importance of knowledge. Despite immense pressure and even when her own life was so difficult that she had to eat coarse food, she still managed to raise all three of her children to become university students, two with doctorates and one with a master's degree.

She has a natural talent for drawing.

For example, she would first draw the patterns for making insoles herself, and then slowly embroider them. Many women in the village would ask her for insole patterns.

She also knows how to cut paper snowflakes. She would put a piece of red paper on the kang (a heated brick bed) and think for a while before starting to fold it. After her scissors had spun around in a dazzling display, she would unfold it and reveal a beautiful paper snowflake.

She also makes sachets. Qingcheng is the hometown of sachets, and there is a Sachet Festival every year. She will take all kinds of sachets she has made to the city to sell in advance.

Her culinary skills are beyond question; she is basically self-taught. Whenever she attends a banquet, she is always the first choice to help with the cooking. Through her experience in helping with the cooking, she has gradually learned to cook exquisite dishes and can make seventy or eighty dishes.

Wang Tianxiao took the insoles and was very satisfied, praising them repeatedly.

"If you like it, that's good. You're busy all day, so your feet must sweat a lot. Changing your insoles frequently is good for your health."

"Haha, you're so thoughtful."

“That shouldn’t be the case. I can’t help you with anything else,” Li Yali smiled. “I remember Mother’s birthday is next month. I’ll embroider a few pairs for her then.”

"Oh, it's Mother's birthday. I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."

Wang Tianxiao was slightly taken aback when Li Yali mentioned his mother's birthday.

My mother rarely celebrated her birthday during her lifetime, and many years after her death, I gradually forgot about it.

It was only when it was suddenly brought up today that I remembered it again.

Thinking back, this year happens to be my mother's 50th birthday, and I guess my siblings and I are planning to give her a big celebration.

In general, this kind of situation is organized by the eldest brother Wang Tianzhong, implemented by the fourth brother Wang Tianyi, and the other brothers and sisters contribute money and effort.

Although Wang Tianxiao now has the ability, he doesn't want to stand out. He prefers to let them do whatever they want, and he will just participate when the time comes.

Filial piety is about the heart and actions; he just needs to fulfill his responsibilities as a son.

.

In the afternoon, Wang Tianxiao went to the town's power supply station to inquire about the wiring.

As a result, they were stopped at the door and couldn't get in for a long time.

It is said that even the prime minister's doorman is a seventh-rank official, and the old gatekeeper at the power supply station is also very difficult to deal with.

They wouldn't let Wang Tianxiao in no matter what.

The reason is that the power station does not allow ordinary people to enter; without a letter of introduction, it is impossible.

Wang Tianxiao mentioned that his forestry station was also a public place, and that he actually had a letter of introduction, but he didn't bring it with him today.

But the gatekeeper didn't care about any of that.

The old man was a professional veteran, extremely stubborn, and only believed in his own principles.

Wang Tianxiao talked until his spittle was dry, but it was all in vain.

"Sir, could you tell me if Director Li is at the station today?"

"I don't know. If you want to see him, you'll have to wait, but I can't guarantee how long that will be."

The old man got a little annoyed by Wang Tianxiao's questions and didn't want to pay any more attention to him.

Left with no other option, Wang Tianxiao parked his motorcycle in front of the power distribution station and sat on it, blocking the entrance.

At first, the gatekeeper didn't think much of it, but he soon realized that Wang Tianxiao was stopping at the gate, and everyone who wanted to enter the power station had to go around him. Everyone was surprised to see Wang Tianxiao, wondering who he was and what he was going to do. They pointed and whispered among themselves.

If it were just discussion, that would be fine, but the matter continued to escalate. A construction vehicle that had gone out was also stopped by Wang Tianxiao when it returned. The construction vehicle honked its horn many times, but Wang Tianxiao did not budge.

Two engineers got out of the car, pointed at Wang Tianxiao, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing blocking this way?"

Wang Tianxiao, who had been lying on the motorcycle pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes upon hearing this and pointed at the gatekeeper: "Ask him, I don't know why either."

"Um?"

The two engineers looked at each other, wondering if someone was even aware of what they were doing.

But after looking at Wang Tianxiao's attire and the motorcycle he was riding, they realized that he was no ordinary person and didn't want to get angry directly, so they went to ask the gatekeeper.

"What does this guy do?"

The old gatekeeper didn't expect Wang Tianxiao to be even more stubborn than him. He wouldn't let him in and even blocked the entrance.

He initially thought he would leave soon, but Wang Tianxiao simply fell asleep, leaving him in a bit of a predicament.

In fact, at times like this, Wang Tianxiao could have solved the problem simply by buying him a pack of cigarettes or something.

But Wang Tianxiao simply refused.

He knew that getting things done required cultivating relationships and that it was also important to unite all those who could be united.

However, that does not include the gatekeepers.

This kind of person is nothing more than a petty person who bullies others just because he's guarding a doorway.

If you treat yourself this way today, you're unlikely to treat others any better tomorrow.

I won't tolerate his bad habits.

Seeing the engineer ask, the security guard quickly replied, "He said he wanted to see the director, but he couldn't say what he wanted to do, so I didn't let him in. That's why he's blocking the entrance."

"Did you not say it, or did he refuse to say it?"

"Oh... he stammered and couldn't explain it clearly."

The engineer frowned slightly. Everyone knew what kind of person this gatekeeper was, but since he heard that he was the father-in-law of a deputy director in the station, he didn't want to say anything directly.

"You should talk to them properly and get some answers. It's not right to block them here. Not only can we not get in, but if the director asks about it later, things will escalate."

"This..." The gatekeeper hesitated for a moment, realizing that things couldn't continue like this, so he left the guardhouse, went to Wang Tianxiao's side, and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
