When Jiang Tiecheng finished his work in the afternoon and arrived at the canteen, Lao Zhang was already waiting for him on his bicycle.

The two arrived at Old Zhang's house. Old Zhang's wife was busy in the kitchen when she heard the noise at the door and immediately ran out.

Upon seeing Jiang Tiecheng, her eyes immediately reddened, and she rushed over to tightly grasp Jiang Tiecheng's hand.

"Xiao Jiang, our family's great benefactor, you've finally arrived! I've been eagerly awaiting your arrival."

"Sister-in-law, please don't be like this. Your red eyes make me feel bad too."

Jiang Tiecheng had to admit that he was a coward; otherwise, why would he have been a good-for-nothing in his past life? He was just too soft-hearted.

He immediately softens terribly when he sees a woman cry.

But the sister-in-law Cuifen in front of him was different from those ungrateful relatives in his past life.

That's called being grateful and repaying kindness.

I was motivated by a bit of self-interest and an overwhelming sense of justice.

But they kept it in their hearts. Such simple and honest people are probably rare in future generations.

Old Zhang immediately reprimanded Cuifen.

"What are you doing? Xiao Jiang is coming to our house for dinner, why are you crying? You're just making the young man feel awkward."

Cuifen quickly wiped away her tears and said with a smile,

"No, I'm just excited and happy."

It's better than anything else for my benefactor to come to my house for a meal. Come, come, Xiao Jiang, sit inside. If you call me sister-in-law, I won't stand on ceremony at all.

From now on, treat this place as your home, and treat us, your husband and wife, as your elder brother and sister-in-law.

If you encounter any difficulties, just come and find your older brother and sister-in-law.

We're all one family. Putting everything else aside, there are many people with the surname Zhang here.

"I can always help you. And those brats, if they dare disobey you, have your brother deal with them."

Cuifen was clearly a straightforward and capable woman.

Jiang Tiecheng smiled.

"No one is making things difficult for me, sister-in-law."

Old Zhang hurriedly lifted the curtain.

Cui Fen's gaze fell on Jiang Tiecheng's arm, and she was instantly surprised.

When Jiang Tiecheng rescued his son yesterday, his arm was fine. How did it get so badly injured in just one afternoon?

"Xiao Jiang, what happened to your arm?"

Jiang Tiecheng said with a smile as he walked into the house.

"My sister-in-law is fine, she just bumped into something and suffered a minor injury yesterday afternoon."

Old Zhang gave a wink; he had already inquired about it and saw Jiang Tiecheng with his arm in a sling at noon.

It turned out that those bastards had used underhanded tactics in private, almost ruining their own career.

He had already privately called Wang Ergou and Li Fan together and given them a good beating; those two were their leaders.

The two boys were beaten so badly they cried out and begged for mercy, saying they had learned their lesson.

The guarantee of a sense of security will absolutely not make things difficult for Jiang Tiecheng.

Moreover, Jiang Tiecheng is now their team leader and their elder brother.

Cuifen went to the kitchen to work, and Lao Zhang invited Jiang Tiecheng to sit inside. At that moment, his eldest son, second son, and third son immediately rushed out of the house.

I met Da Bao yesterday; he's 14 years old.

The remaining second and third children appear to be about two to three years apart in age.

These days, people have no restraint when it comes to having children; they can have as many as they want.

Old Zhang greeted him with a smile.

"Come, come, quickly kowtow to your benefactor uncle. If it weren't for your uncle saving your life, you wouldn't have survived."

Now your father has buried you in the ground.

Da Bao rushed forward and saw that he was also a shy boy. He knelt down and was about to kowtow.

Jiang Tiecheng quickly stopped him.

"Old Zhang, don't do that."

If you keep doing this, I'm leaving.

Although the boy, Da Bao, was shy, he was smart and could see this clearly.

Instead of kneeling, he bowed deeply.

"Uncle Jiang, thank you for saving me yesterday."

I won't say anything polite.

I will repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude.

I knew then that my uncle had saved me and given me another life, and I would definitely repay him properly in the future.

From now on, you'll be my uncle.

Jiang Tiecheng stopped him.

"Good, good, you're a good boy. Uncle doesn't need you to repay me."

The remaining two children also looked at Jiang Tiecheng curiously. They didn't know that their older brother had been rescued yesterday because they were playing outside at the time.

Dinner was served in no time, and the table was laden with a large spread of dishes, including a big plate of scrambled eggs with scallions.

A stir-fried lamb dish, a plate of peanuts, two salted eggs, and a large plate of stir-fried vermicelli with pickled cabbage.

It's cold here, and it's hard to find fresh vegetables, so these things are already quite plentiful.

They were making plain white noodles, which are called "pulled noodles" here.

Jiang Tiecheng knew, of course, that the food was of the highest standard and should not be judged by the standards of later generations.

In those days, everyone lacked food and clothing, and couldn't even get enough to eat.

The reason Lao Zhang was able to produce these things was because he had connections and was well-connected in the cafeteria.

Even ordinary families might not be able to afford to eat it during the Lunar New Year.

The two drank two glasses of wine.

Old Zhang suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Jiang, there's something I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, and it's not just me who wants to ask."

Several people want to ask, but they're unsure whether they should.

"What are you talking about? Now that you've said that, I'm a little scared. Is there anything I can't ask?"

Jiang Tiecheng asked the question knowing the answer already; he knew what the other person wanted to ask.

How did you know yesterday that my baby was dying, and how did you arrive at the perfect time?

Many people say... they all say...

"Sigh, no matter what others say, my brother definitely believes in you."

"Old Zhang, so that's what it is!"

Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, I consider you all family, so it wouldn't be appropriate for this to get out.
