"It's not about whether you work or not, you still need to learn some skills so that you can develop your own career when you grow up."
"Okay, I understand, Second Brother."
"Xiao Lan and her older sister are going back to Lancheng, that goes without saying. Xiao Lan, if you meet any nice young men in the city, you can try dating them..."
"Second brother, why are you saying this?" Wang Xiaolan glared at him.
“Alright, then let’s not talk about it. So, this is where the fourth brother and mother live. I originally thought that mother would live with me in the mountains, since there’s plenty of space and the air is fresh. But the wind in the mountains is too strong, and it gives her a headache. She still prefers to live on the plains. Besides, Xiaozhu still needs to go to school, and living in the mountains wouldn’t be a good place to take care of her…”
"Second brother, but now our pit courtyard is flooded, where will Mother live?"
“Oh, that’s exactly what I was just saying. Since the pit dwellings are no longer safe, people definitely can’t live down there anymore. So I’m planning to build a new courtyard up here. Firstly, it will be a place for my mother to live, and secondly, if I ever have to move down the mountain to live, or if the children live down there, they’ll need a place to stay.”
"If we're going to build houses, they definitely need to be good, so others won't look down on us. I think it's like this: since I'm quite busy, you, fourth brother, will be in charge of building these houses. We'll build three adjacent courtyards, one for Mother, one for me, and one for your family..."
"Ah, second brother, you mean you're going to build us a house?"
"I guess so. As I just said, you'll be in charge of building all three houses. They'll all be the same size, and once they're finished, they'll serve as our family's gathering place. I'll arrange the construction team, and you'll be responsible for coordinating various matters with the team and the village, as well as taking good care of the guests."
"Oh, okay, sure."
Wang Tianyi was overjoyed.
The area below them had been destroyed, and they were already worried about what to do.
We don't have enough money to build houses on it.
The area below is uninhabitable.
Unexpectedly, Wang Tianxiao was willing to lease the entire house for them.
How could I not be happy?
"That's good."
Wang Tianxiao nodded wearily.
He wasn't overflowing with kindness, or he didn't have money to burn.
He just felt tired.
It's exhausting to carry so many burdens on one's own.
If Wang Tianyi could also take some responsibility for these things at home.
Or rather, if Wang Tianyi handles all the trivial matters, his life will be much easier.
Now that he has money, anything that can be solved with money becomes a small matter, while Wang Tianyi has no money, which is perfect for him to use.
Of course, deep down, Wang Tianxiao still hoped that this family would not experience any more major upheavals.
A person's character determines their destiny.
If Wang Tianxiao is indeed a ruthless and decisive person, then perhaps he would have scattered the ashes of someone like Wang Tianren.
But he is not.
Deep down, he still longs for a happy and fulfilling family.
Because this is something he had longed for countless times in his past lives, but had never obtained.
That was his true regret.
If he doesn't fulfill this wish, he will feel terrible and never be able to get over it.
After arranging all these things, Wang Tianxiao felt that was enough, so he said to everyone, "Look, is there anything else I haven't thought of?"
Everyone looked at each other, feeling utterly speechless.
Wang Tianxiao had already thought of everything that could be done.
Everyone stared at Wang Tianxiao in a daze. Each person had a different feeling, but they all felt that he was the real pillar of the family now.
It's as if anything can be resolved smoothly as long as he's around.
Even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't matter.
The grief over Wang Tianren's passing was somewhat lessened.
After all, the deceased are gone, and the living must continue to carry on.
Life goes on, though.
.
Wang Dabao and Wang Tianxiao stood by the roadside, looking at the tents that had been set up everywhere, their faces filled with melancholy.
After this incident, Wang Dabao's eyes no longer held the same sparkle when he looked at Wang Tianxiao.
After all, so many people in the team died.
Although it was just a natural disaster, Wang Tianxiao had clearly notified them beforehand. Although he had his doubts, he didn't really try his best to implement it.
As it turned out, it was indeed a torrential downpour, a rare occurrence in the world.
Not only did it destroy many homes, but it also caused many people to lose their lives in their sleep.
Those people were laughing and talking with me just a few days ago, and now they're gone forever.
In some families, several people died at the same time.
That's really tragic.
If he hadn't known, it would have been fine, but knowing full well that this was still the outcome, he felt truly guilty. He found it hard to console himself that he had done his best in this matter.
For the past few days, he has been unable to eat or sleep properly.
The moment he closes his eyes, the dead appear before him, demanding that he pay with his life, that he make them pay for it.
They almost drove him to his death.
Although he later learned that the three teams in the village had the lowest casualty and loss rates, it was precisely because he had given an early warning.
However, merits and demerits cannot completely offset each other.
For the living, loss is just a number, but for the dead, it is a lifetime.
This team leader has let everyone down.
"Tianxiao, if I had listened to you back then, if my attitude had been stronger, and my measures more decisive, perhaps so many people wouldn't have died. I really..."
