The people at the station naturally wouldn't allow this to happen, so they competed with these little guys in speed, each trying to outpace the other, until one of them was the longest and the other the shortest, fighting to the death.
Only Liu Yuan wandered around happily every day, sometimes bringing back a few rabbits, and sometimes pheasants or various small weasel species.
Wang Tianxiao was worried about his safety and told him not to go to Xifeng alone, which Liu Yuan agreed to.
It is said that the wild animals in Dongshan alone would be enough for him to take care of for a lifetime.
Time passed slowly yet hurriedly until March.
Wang Tianxiao learned from Wang Tianxin that Wang Tianren had not heeded his advice to take Hongwei to the city hospital, saying that it was just a minor fever that had subsided and was basically nothing serious, so there was no need to go through all that trouble.
Wang Tianxiao sighed inwardly.
He had done what he was supposed to do, and there was nothing he could do if Wang Tianren wouldn't listen.
He's not his son.
Wang Hongwei can only blame his stingy father who is unwilling to spend money.
However, if Wang Hongwei had the same illness as his child in his previous life, he probably wouldn't be able to blame his own father, because he would gradually become physically disabled and mentally unstable, turning into a veritable madman.
Wang Tianxiao also learned that Wang Tiancheng would be going to the army next week. Fortunately, his physical examination report did not become an obstacle, which was a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.
Since Wang Tiancheng was injured and hospitalized last time, he has never returned to the station.
It wasn't that Wang Tiancheng was unwilling, but that his mother, Zhang Yufeng, disagreed.
She worried that Wang Tiancheng might run into some trouble again, which would delay his trip to the army.
No matter how Wang Tiancheng explained, it didn't work.
Wang Tianxiao had no objection to this.
The mother's concerns were not unreasonable. If Tiancheng really went to the mountains, something could indeed happen. That would be a life-altering event.
Hearing that Wang Tiancheng was leaving, she decided to go back to see him and talk to her mother about Wang Xiaolan.
Wang Xiaolan has been at the station for almost a month now.
Although it's fine to work with everyone every day, it's also okay not to do anything. The food in the mountains is delicious, and the interpersonal relationships are quite harmonious. Living here is quite comfortable.
But she was still worried about how to restore her relationship with her mother.
She said that if her mother didn't want her, then so be it, but she was always very regretful inside. She could deceive herself with distance when they were far apart, but now that they were in their hometown, what could she hide?
Seeing her like this, Wang Tianxiao felt that the stalemate couldn't go on, and figured it was about time to talk to his mother.
Although it concerns Wang Xiaolan and her mother, it is, after all, her brother, and a reborn individual, so its perspective is certainly broader.
Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things. As long as you're not like Wang Tianren, there's no absolute right or wrong. If you put in a little more effort, things can gradually improve.
It was a sunny day. After lunch, Wang Tianxiao rode his motorcycle back to the village.
When he entered the pit-shaped courtyard, he saw Wang Tianren's family sunbathing at the door. Hua'er had gone to school, and Xiao Hongwei was sitting on the ground playing with the dirt. When he saw Wang Tianxiao return, he grinned.
Wang Tianxiao couldn't bear to look at the child any longer.
With just one glance, he sensed that something was wrong with Hongwei.
This child used to be quite smart, and he was very enthusiastic and well-behaved. He would never sit on the ground and giggle like this. It's obvious that he has a problem with his intelligence.
It's lamentable that his two parents didn't take it seriously.
I didn't notice this change in my child.
With further policy changes, the distribution of land to individual households has basically ended, and there is no longer a need to earn work points.
It was only a short time after the first month of the lunar calendar, and the soil in the fields had not yet completely thawed, so there was not much farm work to be done. All that was left for a pure farmer like Wang Tianren was to sit against the wall and bask in the sun.
Wang Tianxiao hadn't seen them for a month or two. When he saw them again, he ignored the couple, turned around and went straight to his mother's room, placing the things he was carrying on the railing.
Zhang Yufeng was taking a nap when she heard the noise. She opened her eyes and saw Wang Tianxiao. She rubbed her temples and slowly sat up.
"The second son is back."
"Yes, Mom, I'm sleeping."
"Of course, I was out in the sun for a while and I felt dizzy. I hadn't even had a long nap on the kang (heated brick bed) when you came. What brings you here today?"
"Nothing important, I just came back to see you," Wang Tianxiao said, taking out five ten-yuan bills from his pocket and stuffing them into his mother's hand.
"Here's some pocket money. When you're at the market, you can eat whatever you want, or buy any clothes you like."
Fifty yuan is certainly not a small amount of money.
Wang Tianxiao was just saying that.
He was careful to maintain a balance, not giving too much, but not too little either.
If he gives her too much money, his mother will think that he is too easy to earn, and she won't value it enough when she gives it to her later.
But if he gives too little, he won't get his mother's attention or make her feel awe towards him as her son.
He... of course didn't want it to be like this either.
Who wants to scheme against their own mother and feign compliance?
But his mother, a woman who lost her husband at an early age and raised eight children alone, was not an ordinary weak woman, nor was she the kind of virtuous woman in the traditional sense.
She has her good points, but she also has her flaws.
No, simply being nice to her all the time is not the best way to maintain a mother-son relationship.
He had to make his mother understand that he was no longer an ordinary person, that he could make independent decisions, and that he had the ability to make decisions about certain things.
The only thing that remains unchanged is his filial piety towards his mother, which will not change due to changes in his status or wealth.
