You need to show those who abandoned you what a sensible and hardworking child you are. Their failure to take good care of you is their fault, not yours. When you grow up, don't try to be like them.
“Yes, I understand all these principles, Erda,” Hua’er said softly. “I know you and Second Aunt are both very good people. I’ve known that from the beginning. I’ve come to terms with my parents’ situation. They are them, and I am me. Right now, I just want to study hard, take good care of my younger brother, and earn money to repay your kindness when I grow up.”
"Haha, child, you're overthinking it. What do you mean by gratitude? You're my own niece. Now that your father is gone, you're just like Erda's own daughter. It's only right that we raise you."
Besides, Erda never expected you to repay him or anything. Your second aunt and I only have one hope for you and your brother: that you both grow up healthy, study hard, improve every day, and become useful members of society.
My child, you have no idea how big the outside world is. When you grow up and get into a university in the south, you will understand that our little mountain village is really too small, Qingquan Town is too small, and even the whole of Qingcheng City is very small.
But to leave here and settle down in a big city, to gain a foothold, you first need to have a certain amount of knowledge. In a big city, without knowledge, it's truly difficult to get by..."
Wang Tianxiao sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), sharing stories about the big city with Hua'er.
The flowers listened with great interest, their eyes sparkling with hope.
It was as if those cities were already appearing before her eyes.
As it grew later, Wang Tianxiao got off the kang (a heated brick bed), patted the child's head, and said, "Finish your homework and go to bed early."
"Yes, I know."
Wang Tianxiao went out and closed the door.
He walked to a large rock on the mountain ridge and looked up at the star-studded sky.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
The night was long, but the stars still twinkled.
It will surely lead to dawn.
.
Just two days into December, Cui Wanshan arrived.
Wang Tianxiao had been eagerly awaiting his arrival.
Seeing that Wu Wenhua's health could not be delayed any longer, he had to go to Xifeng as soon as possible.
Whether it can be cured is uncertain at the moment.
But I should at least try, otherwise I'll always feel uneasy.
Cui Wanshan brought not only his five-six-and-a-half-ball, but also three dogs.
His three dogs were more ferocious than Wang Tianxiao's original dogs.
The main reason is that Cui Wanshan is a person who really likes hunting, unlike Wang Tianxiao whose dog is just someone he takes with him when he is protecting the forest.
Wang Tianxiao and Li Yali warmly welcomed Cui Wanshan's arrival. They had prepared a house for him long ago. Li Yali was worried that the kang (a heated brick bed) would be too damp, so she had been burning it for many days in a row, and even the strongest dampness had been dried out.
New bedding and sheets have been put on, which look and feel even more comfortable.
In Cui Wanshan's words, this was practically a wedding room prepared for a new bride.
It's so beautiful.
Li Yali had lived at the airfield station in Ziwuling for over a year and knew that Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan had an extraordinary relationship. While not a life-or-death bond, they were certainly very close, like brothers.
They are true brothers and good friends.
Giving Cui Wanshan enough respect and hospitality is the greatest comfort to her husband.
Li Yali has always been an understanding and kind wife.
He could do anything in a way that made Wang Tianxiao feel comfortable.
And it is precisely because of this that his feelings for Li Yali are so deep that they are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Wang Tianxiao introduced him to the other people at the station, especially Liu Yuan. Both of them were knowledgeable about animals and enjoyed hunting, so they could learn from each other in the future.
As for the others, knowing that Cui Wanshan was Wang Tianxiao's friend and an old patrolman, they naturally respected him and were very hospitable to him.
When Cui Wanshan worked at the Ziwuling station, there was never such a good atmosphere.
On the one hand, I was touched by such warm hospitality, and on the other hand, I was amazed that Wang Tianxiao had made this place so wonderful.
It was completely beyond his imagination.
After lunch, the two of them each took a pot of yellow wine and sat on a rock, chatting while looking at the medicinal herbs covering the mountains and fields.
"How's it going, Lao Cui? How's it going here?"
"That's more than just good, it's absolutely amazing. I never imagined you could do this so well."
"I told you to come here a long time ago. If you had come sooner, you would have enjoyed the hospitality here sooner. Why did you have to stay over there? That lousy place is now occupied by scoundrels. What's the point of it?"
"Sigh, it's just unfortunate. The old farm manager was such a good person, and he's gone just like that. All that's left are petty people. Once someone leaves, the tea cools down."
"That's right. You've known those people at the airfield for so many years, don't you know them? How many of them are good people?"
"Haha, that's true."
"Come on, drink some rice wine. Rice wine is good for your health."
"I'm drinking it."
"By the way, Lao Cui, I've actually been waiting for you for a long time. The main reason is that I want to go into Bear Ridge with you."
"Bear Ridge, what are you doing there? Are you going to fight a black bear?"
Cui Wanshan looked at him in surprise.
"It's like this, I have an employee here..."
Wang Tianxiao briefly told Cui Wanshan about Wu Wenhua's situation. Cui Wanshan nodded, "That's in line with your personality; you can't stand even the smallest favor. The doctor was right; bear oil does help with frostbite. So, you mean, I'd like to go to Bear Ridge with you?"
"Yes, that's what I think. He got hurt because of me, so I can't just stand by and do nothing. That's not like me. That's the kind of person I am. If someone does me a favor, I'll repay them tenfold."
