While the country was wholeheartedly developing its economy and science and technology, Wei Hua was beaming with joy. During this period, Wei Hua won more than a dozen major awards.
Compared to the rewards he received in the courtyard house, these things were truly luxurious. Seeing that other countries were suffering, Wei Hua no longer intended to hold his current position.
Given the current international situation, these countries won't recover for several years. Even without our help, these countries can still stand out from the crowd. Without the constraints of these countries, the rise of these nations will be inevitable.
Compared to her current life, Wei Hua prefers traveling and enjoying nature. After quitting her job, she gradually returned to a more relaxed lifestyle.
Because the system offered many rewards, Wei Hua, while enjoying his travels, placed a large gold mine in the Taihang Mountains, a former revolutionary holy site.
Wei Hua's gold mine is no ordinary mine; its reserves reach over 30,000 tons. As for whether it would cause a sharp drop in gold prices, Wei Hua didn't seem to care.
Then two more oil fields were located in Mongolia. Compared to other places, the grasslands were more suitable for extraction, and it wouldn't have too much impact on other aspects.
As for the remaining dozen or so rewards, Wei Hua doesn't plan to use them yet. These items are all quite advanced, and releasing them now would be like forcing growth. Wei Hua intends to release them gradually; everything requires a process.
Wei Hua, who had never really enjoyed life before, took Yang Tao to Sanya in the dead of winter after resigning from his job. Previously, the harsh environment had prevented them from enjoying themselves, but now things had changed, and Wei Hua and Yang Tao had retreated to the background.
They're both in their early forties; if they don't enjoy themselves now, they won't have time to enjoy themselves later.
Thanks to their improved physical condition, Wei Hua and Yang Tao looked to be around 30 years old. With their child grown up and a housekeeper at home, they embarked on their honeymoon.
Although their honeymoon came a little late, the two of them thoroughly enjoyed it. They stayed in Sanya for almost a month before daring to go home for the Chinese New Year.
In this month, they made up for all the sweetness they had missed. A month is what a real honeymoon is all about. They did many things that young people these days don't do.
Because of her excessive behavior, Yang Tao became pregnant again, which is why Wei Hua brought her back.
Having been away for a month, Wei Hua and Yang Tao spent some quality time with their child. While they were with their child, Bang Geng, who lived in the tenement, encountered a new problem.
Jia Zhangshi's leg had been broken long ago, and she had been in a wheelchair, so she was unable to properly take care of Banggeng. Banggeng was also unable to get out of bed for the first few months.
Even meals had to be bought outside while pushing a wheelchair. There was absolutely no way to provide any care for Bang Geng. In less than six months, Bang Geng's body had already rotted away. If it weren't for his gradual recovery, Bang Geng might have completely decayed.
Although things gradually improved in the second half of the year, the situation of the pheasant was still not optimistic. Now the pheasant has become a walking pharmacy.
Although more than 20,000 yuan is a lot of money, it can't support the two of them who have no income and Bang Geng still needs to see a doctor.
If Bang Geng recovers, he might be able to go out and earn money again. Without any source of income, Bang Geng has started to despise his grandmother.
The conflict between Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng had finally erupted. The two argued every day in the courtyard, countless times a day. At first, the neighbors would try to mediate, but after a while, no one paid any attention to them anymore.
Having spent almost all the money he had withdrawn, Banggeng secretly left the tenement, leaning on his cane. As he left, Banggeng didn't forget to steal some of Jia Zhangshi's savings accumulated over the years.
With Jia Zhangshi's money, he casually boarded a bus and left. When he felt it was about time, he got off the bus and rented a room outside.
Even Bang Geng didn't know his destination, let alone the others. Jia Zhangshi had no idea that Bang Geng had already left. She thought he had simply gone out to buy medicine.
It wasn't until evening that Jia Zhangshi noticed something was amiss. Bang Geng hadn't returned yet, and given his condition, he would never stay outside for long in the dead of winter. He usually went out either with crutches or in his wheelchair, but never for extended periods.
But the weather was cold, and Banggeng, like himself, couldn't stand the cold at all. Once it got frozen, it felt like needles were pricking its bones.
Although she had guessed that Banggeng would leave, Jia Zhangshi still held onto a sliver of hope. She pushed her wheelchair and left the tenement where she lived.
As soon as she left the tenement, she searched everywhere for Banggeng's whereabouts. Because Banggeng's features were very distinctive, Jia Zhangshi quickly obtained information about him. When she learned that Banggeng had boarded the No. 32 bus, Jia Zhangshi felt somewhat desperate.
If her grandson was going to the hospital to get medicine, she wouldn't take the No. 32 bus at all, because the No. 32 bus doesn't pass by that hospital.
The city of 49 is so vast that Jia Zhangshi has no idea where to find her grandson. If he intends to leave, there's nothing she can do about Banggeng, since Banggeng himself is crippled and incapable of supporting himself.
Left with no other option, Jia Zhangshi could only push her wheelchair back to the tenement. At first, Jia Zhangshi didn't notice the details, but once back in the tenement, she realized that something was wrong with the pillow.
Upon opening the pillow, Jia Zhangshi discovered that nearly 1,000 yuan, which she had saved over the years, had vanished without a trace. No one ever came to her house; she and Banggeng spent all their time in bed, and no one dared to enter.
The thought that Bang Geng had already left made Jia Zhangshi realize that the money had been stolen by him, and she was so angry that she cursed him for a long time in her room. The word she cursed most often was "ungrateful wretch." However, as she cursed, Jia Zhangshi revealed a strange expression.
She lifted the bed board and took the bankbook out from underneath. Looking at the bed board before her, Jia Zhangshi revealed a sinister smile.
Then, taking some of his personal belongings, he pushed his wheelchair and left the tenement. Not only was Bang Geng cunning, but Jia Zhangshi was no pushover either. Several months earlier, Jia Zhangshi had created a fake bankbook.
After leaving the tenement, Jia Zhangshi found a hotel to stay in. Early the next morning, she went to the bank and withdrew all her money. Then, following Bang Geng's example, she randomly boarded a bus. When she reached a place she deemed suitable, she got off.
Jia Zhangshi was quite clever; she took a bus in the completely opposite direction. After getting off, she rented a room and lived there alone. With over 10,000 yuan, she could last at least five more years.
Now that she was over 70 years old, Jia Zhangshi wasn't sure if she could live another five years. Since her grandson was unjust, she couldn't be blamed for being heartless.
The wealthy Jia Zhangshi lived a comfortable life, going out to buy food whenever she was hungry. And she always ate good food, showing no regard for saving.
Meanwhile, Banggeng was also living a good life. Because he still had over 1000 yuan saved by Jia Zhangshi, Banggeng didn't realize his passbook was fake. It wasn't until nearly four months later, when Banggeng had spent all his money and went to the bank to withdraw cash, that he discovered his passbook was counterfeit.
As Jia Zhangshi's grandson, Banggeng naturally knew what was going on. Enraged, Banggeng took a bus to the tenement. But upon arriving, he learned that his grandmother had been gone for four months.
No one around knew where his grandmother had gone, and Banggeng could only curse for a long time near the tenement, but there was nothing he could do.
After cursing, Bang Geng, who had little money, could only return to his new place. Penniless, Bang Geng had no choice but to beg. Starting a vegetable business was impossible now; he had neither a vehicle nor capital. Moreover, his health wasn't fully recovered, so Bang Geng could only hope that others would give him something.
Thinking of his grandmother's actions, Banggeng begged while inquiring about her. In this vast sea of people, finding someone isn't easy. Even if Jia Zhangshi had a rather unusual appearance, it would still take time.
