Wang Tianxiao paid for the electricity to be installed in the village, and now everyone is enjoying the benefits of electricity. With the bright lights on, the villagers have realized that technological progress has reached a point where they must accept it. Some people with a little spare money are even planning to buy televisions.

Therefore, many people were very grateful to Wang Tianxiao afterwards, thinking that if he hadn't helped everyone pay the money in advance, everyone would still be waiting and watching, and the electricity would never have been brought to Wangjia Village so quickly.

How can one enjoy this kind of pleasure then?

He basically achieved his goal: he connected the power grid, enabling the people at the power station and in Wangjia Village to use electricity, and he also built up his network of contacts.

This is a win-win situation.

He is like a farmer who works hard in the spring. In the early stages, it seems like he is just putting in a lot of effort, but slowly, when autumn comes, everything will be harvested.

The things he had worked hard to cultivate ultimately brought him great rewards.

He plans to go back to the village to recruit people.

.

In the evening, after having dinner at his mother's house, Wang Tianxiao went to find Wang Tianbao.

After Wang Hongwei's incident, Wang Tianxiao's relationship with his mother grew even closer.

Wang Tianxiao thought to himself that perhaps his mother's previous dislike of him was related to his own withdrawn personality, poor communication skills, and low emotional intelligence.

People in later generations may not understand why parents would show favoritism to children born into the same family.

That's understandable.

Because parents are also ordinary people, and as human beings, they have likes and dislikes.

They are all your own children, but some children are sweet-talking and always side with their parents, sharing everything with them. Other children are introverted, not good at expressing themselves, and just love their parents in a naive way.

If there is only one child, parents can be more perceptive of their child's love.

However, if there are many children, parents simply cannot keep track of them all.

They may have already spent a lot of energy making a living every day and have no time to care about the children's feelings, so they only like two kinds of children: one is very outstanding, and the other is a child who likes to cry.

The former allows them to have face and feel honored, without having to worry about anything.

The latter is because it can attract their attention.

Those children who are neither outstanding nor fond of crying will eventually become the children least valued by their parents.

It has nothing to do with whether someone is obedient or not.

If you think of your parents as business owners and your family as a business, then the boss doesn't prefer the most obedient person, but rather the person who can perform well, knows how to get things done, and is excellent.

These... are all the same.

Wang Tianxiao didn't want to continue his stubborn life like his previous one, like a hedgehog, hiding himself under many sharp thorns.

While it may seem like he's protecting himself, he's also preventing others from getting close to him.

As a result, he accomplished nothing in his life. If it weren't for his children's success in his later years, he might never have left that small mountain village.

Why bother?

That kind of path is truly worth continuing down, isn't it?

He disagreed.

In this life, he changed his way of living, trying to be more considerate of others. He realized that not everyone harbored deep hatred for each other; perhaps most of the time it was just a difference in their views on life and values.

You can't expect everyone to be like you.

Everyone has their own ideas, and so do others. If you get angry or ignore others just because they are different from you, wouldn't that be pathetic and exhausting?

He didn't want to do that anymore.

And after I became gentler, the world seemed to become much gentler as well.

Wherever he goes, as long as he's not a petty thug or someone who's always looking to cause trouble, most people can get along with him amicably.

It was through this that I came to know bosses like Zhang Wenyuan, enthusiastic seniors like Mi Qingsong, and ambitious and idealistic intellectuals like Mi Liang. I also got to know some people at the station who, although not very educated, were warm and simple.

He used his warmth to give Wang Xiaolan her own ideals and goals, and she went to the provincial capital to study again.

This led to Li Guanping having such an interesting wife as Mi Xiaoqing.

This prevented the tragedy of Wang Hongwei's untimely death.

Aren't all of these positive feedbacks from life after he made the changes?

He didn't intend to change the people around him, but they gradually changed because of his friendliness and enthusiasm.

This was such a comforting thing for him.

Wang Tianxiao, in both his past and present lives, has always been the kind of person who values ​​those around him more than himself; that's his personality.

However, in his previous life, he only reaped bitterness.

But this life is like walking into a garden; even though there are a few thorns here and there, most of the time, the air is filled with fragrance.

It's so...comfortable.

On a summer night, the air is filled with a faint warmth.

People sat in groups at the doorway, chatting with their neighbors.

This may be the last leisurely period before summer.

There are about twenty days left until the wheat harvest, at which time they will be very busy.

In those days, there were no harvesters; everything had to be done manually.

After the crops are harvested, they need to be hauled back little by little on flatbed trucks, then tractors are needed to crush them, and most of the time, people have to pound them by hand.

I hammered it over and over again.

After pounding, it needs to be winnowed, dried, and so on, which takes more than half a month of work.

By the time I finish this busy period, it will probably be mid-August in the Gregorian calendar.

Therefore, people should take full advantage of this in-between season to enjoy this rare leisure time.
