Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

"Slow down, Tangtang, slow down."

Along the way, Yu Chuntao reminded Yu Qiutang countless times.

Whenever Yu Qiutang moved particularly fast, she would subconsciously pinch his waist.

Along the way, Yu Qiutang's waist was pinched so hard that it hurt and it was probably red.

However, you can't blame him.

Riding a motorcycle is like this. There is always an urge to speed up. If there is no obstruction around, you just want to go full speed in one go.

Motorcycle accidents are more likely to occur, and this is also a reason.

As the saying goes, a car is iron wrapped in flesh, and a motorcycle is flesh wrapped in iron.

If you observe carefully, you will find that those who drive motorcycles have basically replaced a generation every ten or twenty years.

Even if they survived, something bad happened to them to some extent.

But people know that motorcycles are dangerous, but once they actually ride one, it is difficult to control their emotions and keep a low speed. Basically, they just go faster and faster, enjoying the feeling of riding in the wind.

We drove all the way to Wangjiazhuang.

The car was on a small road, bumpy and full of potholes. If you drive too fast, it will be very bumpy, so Yu Qiutang slowed down.

Yu Chuntao felt that her buttocks were going to be broken by the shock, so she punched Yu Qiutang twice on the back.

"You're not listening. I told you to ride slower, slower, but you insisted on riding faster and almost threw me off."

"Haha."

Yu Qiutang laughed uncontrollably.

Perhaps it was because he was in front of his elder sister, especially his second sister who was more cheerful and outgoing, that Yu Qiutang rarely released his youthful habits.

The casual joking and playing with my sister seemed very natural.

Although they are both elder sisters, he cannot joke in front of his third sister because she is very sensitive and tends to think a lot. If he tells her a joke, she might associate it with many things and end up being unhappy.

Therefore, Yu Qiutang always respected Yu Chunmei and took better care of her. He didn't have as much fun playing and fighting with her as he did with his second sister.

She did meet some acquaintances along the way. When they saw Yu Chuntao coming back, they all came over to say hello. This was also due to the fact that Yu Chuntao had a good relationship with her neighbors before she got married.

Moreover, she only came back once in a long time, so when everyone saw her suddenly, they thought she was a rare guest.

Of course, people are more concerned about Yu Qiutang's motorcycle, which is a rare thing in the entire village.

Not to mention riding a motorcycle, eighty to ninety percent of the people in the village have never ridden or even touched a motorcycle.

Seeing the iron thing rumbling forward and raising a cloud of dust, not only the children but also the adults showed curious and envious looks.

But people soon remembered Yu Qiutang's recent events, how he had hunted so many good things, and how he was busy building a yard.

From this perspective, riding a motorcycle back home is not a big deal, but who knows what amazing things he can do in the future.

People are always wise after the event.

At this time, those who have girls will suddenly remember that when they were talking about partners for their girls, they always said that no matter who they looked for, they must not look for someone like Yu Qiutang.

Someone like Wang Haofeng.

But now it seems that Wang Haofeng is still as careless as ever, while Yu Qiutang is getting better and better and more promising.

As the saying goes, judging from childhood to old age is not true at all.

To be more precise, people's future development is unpredictable. No one knows what anyone's future will be like.

Don't underestimate any young people.

"squeak!"

The motorcycle screeched to a stop at the entrance of the alley.

Yu Qiushi was just about to go find some friends to play with when he suddenly saw such a huge iron thing stop in front of him. He was so scared that he ran up and down in a hurry.

But he soon realized that the people in the car were Yu Qiutang and Yu Chuntao, so he carefully climbed up along the wall.

"motorcycle!!"

After all, he was a child, and he was much more direct than the passers-by in the village. He expressed his surprise and love for motorcycles without any hesitation, and his eyes were shining.

"Where did you get that motorcycle, bro? It looks beautiful!"

He ran over with a smile on his face and wanted to touch the handlebars of the motorcycle.

Yu Qiutang pushed him aside and asked, "Are you polite? Didn't you see my second sister?"

Yu Qiushi smiled and said, "I saw it. Second sister is not an elder, do you still need to ask questions after seeing it?"

Yu Qiutang was speechless.

Yu Chuntao smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year. Qiushi has grown taller and fatter. It seems that he eats well."

"No way, I can't even eat enough. If I could eat enough every meal, I would be taller than I am now."

While answering Yu Chuntao's questions, Yu Qiushi continued to try to touch the motorcycle, but Yu Qiutang wouldn't let him, which made Yu Qiushi's hands itchy.

"Brother, just let me touch it. I won't make it lose weight. I haven't touched a motorcycle before."

"I won't let you touch it."

"Just touch it, just touch it, brother, you see I haven't offended you. I'm your brother, what's wrong with letting me touch your motorcycle?"

Yu Chuntao got off the motorcycle, held the bag on the back and said with a smile, "Just let him touch it."

Yu Qiutang then smiled and stopped trying to stop Yu Qiushi. After getting Yu Qiushi's consent, he immediately used both hands to quickly touch the front and back of the motorcycle.

It's like a pervert meeting a beautiful woman.

He touched all the way to the back and finally felt satisfied, so he walked around the motorcycle twice.

"Brother, brother, take me for a walk sometime."

"Wait, there's time. Is Dad home?"

"Yes, I just came back from outside."

"Okay." Yu Qiutang called Yu Chuntao to go down together.

He held the handlebars and the bike slowly slid down the alley.

Yu Qiu actually turned into a little pioneer and had already gone in to report the news. So when the two of them went down the alley, they saw Yu Dejin and Chen Meidi standing at the door of their room.

"Dad!" Yu Chuntao shouted and smiled at Chen Meidi.

Yu Dejin smiled rarely when he saw his daughter whom he hadn't seen for more than a year, but he soon noticed Yu Qiutang's motorcycle and looked at Yu Qiutang with surprise.

"Where's the motorcycle?"

"friend's."

Yu Qiutang didn't plan to say more. He rode his motorcycle straight to his door, turned off the engine and started the bike, but he didn't rush to take off his backpack.

Seeing that Yu Qiutang didn't want to say more, Yu Dejin didn't ask any more questions and turned his gaze to Yu Chuntao.

"Chun Tao, why did you come back so suddenly without telling me in advance?"

"That's right, second girl. If we knew you were back, we would buy you some delicious food and treat you well."

Chen Meidi also seemed very enthusiastic.

Yu Chuntao smiled and said, "Dawei is doing something here, so I came back to see you. Dad, are you still healthy?" "Yes, I am fine. What can happen to me? I just live like this every day. I will take it one day at a time. When one day I die, it will be over."

"Look, you're still saying these things. You can't say them like this. You're still young. You should at least live to be eighty or ninety. You're only halfway through now. It's not good for the younger generations to see you saying such discouraging things all day long."

Hearing his daughter say this, Yu Dejin just smiled and did not refute. In fact, among all the girls in the family, Yu Dejin liked Yu Chuntao the most.

He felt that his eldest daughter Chun Xing had no temper and believed what others said, which was unlike his daughter.

The third daughter, Yu Chunmei, was too cowardly and always looked cautious. It seemed that if someone spoke to her loudly, she would be frightened and fall down immediately. She also didn't like it.

Relatively speaking, the second daughter, Yu Chuntao, has a cheerful personality and can speak directly to him, which is most consistent with his character.

He loved Yu Chuntao the most before she got married.

"How many days will you stay this time?" Yu Dejin asked.

"About two or three days, I just came back to see you and visit all the relatives. I haven't seen them for a year, I don't know how they are doing. Anyway, I can't come back for the New Year this year, so I can't wish them a happy new year."

"That's true."

"Hey, Chuntao, come in and sit down. It's so tiring to talk while standing."

Chen Meidi greeted Yu Chuntao warmly.

Yu Chuntao glanced at Yu Qiutang and said with a smile, "No, I want to go to Tangtang's new house later. I haven't seen Meimei for a long time, and I miss her a lot."

"Oh, I see. That's fine too, that's fine too."

Chen Meidi responded a few times awkwardly.

"It's better to stay for dinner. We don't need the time." Yu Dejin said on the side.

"That's right, have a meal. If you don't, people will say that you are back home and no one is entertaining you."

Chen Meidi said again.

While they were talking, Wang Chunhua lifted the door curtain and came out. She glanced at Yu Chuntao, said nothing, then turned around and went back in.

Yu Chuntao finally did not agree.

But she kept a polite smile from beginning to end and was very polite to Chen Meidi.

The conflict between Yu Qiutang and Chen Meidi stems from the fact that he is a man.

If you are a man, you are in competition with Yu Qiushi.

Even if there is nothing good at home.

Chen Meidi would also think about splitting the child into two, as she felt it was not as comfortable as having her own child all by herself.

Therefore, she naturally felt hostility towards Yu Qiutang.

In contrast, Chen Meidi did not have the slightest aversion to these girls. Instead, she was very happy. The girls could ask for dowries when they got married, and the land would remain after they left home, and all would be assigned to them.

Even for this reason, when these girls come home, she will act very warmly and save face.

However, to compensate for her persistence, Yu Chuntao sat in the yard and chatted with her father and Chen Meidi for nearly half an hour.

And promised to have a meal with them before leaving.

Chen Meidi still looked regretful and seemed particularly enthusiastic, but in fact, that was just her expression to show that she had done what she should do.

I don’t care if you don’t give me face.

Anyway, you can't influence me in any way.

All I have to do is show respect to my husband's daughter in front of him. If you stay, I will entertain you. If you don't stay, I will be happy and relaxed.

Coming up from the pit courtyard, Yu Chuntao saw Yu Qiutang's indifferent expression and patted him on the shoulder, "What's wrong? Are you still angry?"

Yu Qiutang said, "Otherwise, how could I still laugh?"

"There's nothing wrong with being angry," Yu Chuntao smiled slightly, "That's what a real man should do. We should repay the favor."

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

The brother and sister each asked a question in return, and then smiled knowingly.

"Regarding family matters, it's not convenient for me to tell you anything, but you just need to stick to your principles and don't cross the bottom line.

After all, she is Qiushi's mother. Although Qiushi is not as honest and obedient as you, he is still like our younger brother.

If something happens to him in the future, others will still say that we, his sisters and brothers, have not fulfilled our responsibilities.

Of course, I am not saying how important responsibility is. People always have to do things that they have no choice but to do.

If we can do anything without restraint and do whatever we want without any scruples, then we are actually just scratching the bottom line of being a human being.

Even if it makes sense to do this in your dealings with others, it seems a bit low-class. I still hope you can be more open-minded.

Look more into the distance, at the road ahead, and don’t be too concerned about the mud under your feet. These things can’t hold you back, and will make you a real man.”

Yu Qiutang smiled and said, "Sister, have you brought back the energy you had when teaching students?"

"No, someone has to explain these principles to you. Your mother died early, and our father is not the kind of person who can reason with others. His principles are all under the stick.

Then who do you expect to tell you?
Our milk?
Or Big Sister or Meimei? !

After all the calculations, I am the only one who can tell you about it.

If you don't like what I say, then no one will ever tell you these truths again.

You will become an adult during the Chinese New Year. Before you become an adult, this is the last time I will talk sense to you.

As an adult, I can't say anything.

No matter what kind of life you lead, you have walked it step by step... It does seem a bit like giving a lecture to students..."

Yu Chuntao herself laughed.

Yu Qiutang smiled and said, "It's okay, you can continue talking, I like to listen."

"You want to hear me say I'm tired, anyway, that's it. Come on, let's go back quickly, I want to hear what happened in this family?

You've been living here well for no reason, why do you suddenly want to split up, and split so far away?

Also, where do you get such great ability, where do you make so much money, and where do you know so many rich friends?

I haven't been home for only a year, but it feels like I've been away for decades."

"Well, it's a long story..."

Because it was a country road, there was no need to drive too fast. Neither of them wore helmets, and the motorcycle slowly maintained a constant speed as it drove towards the new yard.

On the way, Yu Qiutang briefly but to the point told Yu Chuntao what had happened in the past six months, except for the fact that he was reborn.

Yu Chuntao opened her mouth and eyes repeatedly, exclaiming in amazement from time to time. After Yu Qiutang finished speaking, she was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh, "I just thought something might have happened at home, but I didn't expect so much to happen."

Yu Qiutang thought to himself that this was just the beginning. He had a strong premonition that something even more serious might happen in the near future.

He is just the only guest of time, and what he can influence is only the fragments he comes into contact with every day. However, in those moments that he cannot take care of all the time, various things are happening all the time.

There is happiness.

Naturally, there will be misfortune. (End of this chapter)
