Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!

Shi Yaozu immediately chuckled and said, "I will definitely study hard, Uncle. As the great man said, everything is for the people."

The atmosphere at the dinner table became somewhat awkward, and Wu Yue'e's words caused everyone to fall silent for a moment.

Shi Renli was somewhat dissatisfied with his wife, so he just drank his wine in silence, while giving Wu Yue'e a fierce look.

Shi Yaozu sensed the awkwardness and quickly changed the subject, asking his uncle for advice on work.

Shi Renmei thought for a moment and said, "Yaozu, it's a good thing that you're coming to work in the city. However, you should be careful when you live here in the future. Don't talk carelessly. The main reason is that you might offend someone unintentionally and someone might report you or write a big-character poster. In short, it's always better to be safe than sorry."

Yaozu nodded and said, "Uncle, I know. I've heard some things about it in the countryside. I'll be careful. I'll definitely work hard in the future."

Shi Renli looked even older than his elder brother, and he also said, "Yaozu, this job of yours is hard-won. I'm afraid some people will be envious. You know how many young people in the city want to find a job to stay in the city, otherwise they will have to go to the countryside as educated youth. You must remember your uncle's kindness."

Yaozu nodded and agreed repeatedly while eating.

Wu Yue'e didn't say anything more, and just silently finished her meal.

The meal was unusually quiet, a stark contrast to her usual nagging. Afterwards, something unexpected happened: Wu Yue'e, contrary to her usual behavior, took the initiative to help clear the table. It's worth noting that she never volunteered for housework at her sister-in-law's house.

As night fell, the group began to arrange accommodations. After some discussion, it was decided that Wu Yue'e and her husband would stay in Huai'an's room, while Yaozu would stay at Zhong Hanzhe's house for the night.

As for Shi Huai'an, he could only squeeze into a room with his parents.

However, after they closed the door, Huai'an and his parents quietly entered the bedroom in the mysterious space.

The bedroom was warm and cozy with heating, much better than the cold outside.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Shi Renmei rushed to the housing management bureau with Shi Renli and his family of three to complete the necessary procedures. At the same time, Yaozu also got up early to prepare for their new house.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiuzhi and Huai'an were also busy. They searched through their home for items that were no longer needed and packed them up to send to Yaozu's new house.

Afterwards, the two went out together to buy some daily necessities, such as pots and pans, thermos flasks, stoves, and two thick quilts. They carried all the most basic necessities into Yaozu's house.

When Wu Yue'e saw how many things her sister-in-law had bought for her family, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

She had thought she would be neglected or treated as an outsider when she came here, but what she felt now was full of love and care.

She felt ashamed because she always found fault with her sister-in-law, while her sister-in-law was always tolerant of her, and last night her husband, Shi Renli, had scolded her again.

She had harbored resentment because of Xiaoyan's matter, but now, seeing her elder brother and sister-in-law busy with all sorts of things, her resentment lessened. Putting herself in their shoes, she realized she probably couldn't be as considerate as her sister-in-law.

Sometimes people become humble and subservient in the face of material things. Wu Yue'e was at this moment expressing her gratitude to her sister-in-law and Huai'an, praising the gifts they had brought. You should know that these things were all rationed, and even some families in the countryside couldn't afford so many nice things for a wedding.

Shi Huai'an is no longer the same person she used to be; wealth and material possessions are no longer scarce for her.

When she noticed a significant change in her aunt's family's attitude, she couldn't help but smile to herself.

Seeing her parents happy about this, she decided to generously give them more rice, oil, flour, sugar and other items.

These fine rice and grains are things that money can't buy in the countryside. When these extra gifts were presented to my uncle and aunt, they were so surprised that they couldn't stop talking and even clicked their tongues in amazement.

His joy was palpable, as if he had received a tremendous blessing.

They happily accepted the gifts while praising Shi Huai'an for being well-behaved and sensible, their words filled with flattery and ingratiation.

This scene moved Shi Huai'an deeply: he realized that the coldness and warmth of human relationships in this world are so real.

When a person becomes strong and successful, it seems that many kind and friendly people will appear around them; but when a person is weak and helpless, they are often surrounded by evil people who bully and oppress them.

Such a contrast is truly heartbreaking.

Shi Huai'an also wanted to exact revenge and show ruthlessness and decisiveness to those who had bullied her.

If it were up to Huai'an's previous thinking, she would absolutely not want to get involved in the messy affairs of her uncle and aunt's family, let alone spend money or effort to help.

However, whenever Huai'an saw her father's increasingly aged face, with its deepening wrinkles and the growing number of white hairs on his head, her once resolute heart began to waver, and a strong sense of guilt would involuntarily well up from the depths of her heart.

After all, she couldn't bear to make her loving father feel sad and upset because of the tense and hostile relationship with her uncle and aunt's family.

Making kind adoptive parents feel a little more at ease is also a way of showing filial piety.

Looking back on her past life, the things her aunt had done to her were still vivid in her mind. Deep down, Huai'an didn't want to easily forgive her, and at times she even harbored hatred.

But in this life, everything seems to have undergone earth-shattering changes.

Perhaps it is because she has become stronger and stronger, and has worked hard and struggled continuously, that Huai'an is now able to completely despise those who bullied her in the past.

When those who were once arrogant and domineering became so vulnerable and helpless in front of her, Huai'an suddenly found that she had lost the desire to retaliate against them.

Shi Huai'an thought to himself that he was not the judge of life. Having been reborn with the vision of God, he did not want to waste time on grudges and hatred. Letting go of grudges, reducing the negative energy in his heart with a peaceful mind, and making this life easy and happy, and finding the value of life was the most important thing.

She simply encountered the most shameless and greedy aspects of human nature during the most difficult time of her past life.

Human nature is so easily tested. Yet these people live such humble lives, gazing at us with pleading eyes like beggars—isn't that a small punishment in itself?

If life gave you the choice to be a giver or a beggar, the answer would be obvious: being a giver is more dignified, because even if you are giving, it means you have the means to give; while a beggar, even if he receives something, does so in a pitiful and undignified way.

If she wanted to repay her adoptive parents for their kindness in raising her, she shouldn't have made them feel conflicted, sad, or miserable, but rather made them happy and even proud.

It's a wonderful feeling, as if all the past grudges and affections have faded away with the passage of time, leaving only a sense of calm and tranquility.

After lunch, Shi Renli and his wife went back to their hometown to obtain the household registration certificate, leaving Shi Yaozu to go to work.

With the year-end approaching, the grocery store was incredibly busy! Although Shi Renmei had already completed her resignation procedures, she still voluntarily decided to work until the end of the month. For the past two weeks, she had been focusing entirely on teaching Shi Yaozu.

Yaozu appeared humble, honest, sweet-talking, and diligent. He studied very hard, and his colleagues, out of respect for Lao Shi, were quite enthusiastic towards this newcomer, Xiao Shi, and did not put on airs or make things difficult for him!

Yaozu was also very self-aware. Although his uncle asked him to eat with them, he still learned to cook and tried his best to familiarize himself with and adapt to the new environment.

Wang Xiuzhi specially made two new outfits for him, making him look like a city dweller, which made Shi Yaozu extremely grateful.

When Shi Huai'an had nothing to do, he would check the real-time video footage to see what Gu Jingxing was doing. However, every time he saw Gu Jingxing on dangerous missions: sometimes he saw him with face paint on in the deep mountains and forests; sometimes he saw him crawling behind enemy lines for cover; and sometimes he even saw him and his squad moving through a hail of bullets amidst heavy artillery fire...

Fortunately, Gu Jingxing was always unharmed; perhaps the bulletproof vest given to him worked its magic.

Shi Huai'an watched with trepidation and lingering fear, his heart filled with worry, and he thought of Gu Jingxing's mother and grandfather.

I've been on winter break for so long, and I still haven't visited Gu Jingxing's family!

Their whole family are great heroes who fought for their country!

Moreover, Gu Jingxing and I have a slightly ambiguous relationship!

Logically speaking, it is indeed a bit strange for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to visit a male classmate's house with gifts.

After all, he's not young anymore, and it's easy for people to misunderstand him.

However, Shi Huai'an wasn't that pretentious, and he wasn't afraid of what others would say!

Taking advantage of her free time, she packed a bunch of New Year's gifts and took out a new-style cane from her storage room, heading straight for Gu Jingxing's grandfather, Gu Kaizhi's, house!

Mother Gu was washing vegetables in the pond in the yard. When she saw Huai'an, she couldn't stop smiling: "Oh my, isn't this the Shi family's little girl? She's getting more and more energetic."

"Grandpa Gu, Aunt Gu, hello. I'm Shi Huai'an. It's been so long since I've been here. I was afraid you'd forgotten me," Huai'an said jokingly as soon as he entered the courtyard.

“How could I forget? When did you come back? Jingxing often mentions you in his letters. I often go to your dad’s shop to buy things. Your dad always saves good wine and cigarettes for Grandpa Jingxing.” Gu’s mother smiled and held Huai’an’s hand, her face full of kindness: “It’s good that you’re here. Why did you bring so many things?”

"I came back as soon as winter break started, but I went to help take care of my older sister who was having a baby." Huai'an recounted what happened during the winter break. It wasn't news that she was an adopted daughter; everyone in the neighborhood knew about it.

She carefully took out a cane and gently handed it to Grandpa Gu, smiling as she said, "Grandpa Gu, look! This cane was specially prepared for you. It has a folding seat at the bottom, so if you get tired from walking, you can sit down and rest for a while anytime."

"Your parents are so lucky to have such a good daughter like you." Grandpa Gu happily took the cane and stroked it. As he stood up to try it out, he nodded repeatedly, smiling like a child. "This thing is really exquisite. Things from the capital are so much better than those from our small town. This cane is one of a kind here. There's definitely no other one like it. Next time, I'll show it to my old friends."

Despite being over seventy years old and having a disability in one leg, he still looks energetic and radiant.

His straight back and booming voice made it hard to imagine that he had experienced the baptism of guns and cannons, the vicissitudes of time, and the torment of illness.

"Jingxing has also mentioned your biological father's situation to us. He told me to visit him often and not let others make things difficult for him. He also suggested finding someone to vouch for him if necessary. That lad is very thoughtful. Huai'an, don't worry, I'm still in good health. I'll visit him whenever I have time. I've also spoken with some of my old comrades and subordinates. Your biological father's situation can be a big deal or a small one. The main problem is that some people with ulterior motives are making a mountain out of a molehill to make things difficult for him." Grandpa nodded and smiled.

"Thank you so much, Grandpa Gu! I really appreciate it! I feel so bad for causing you so much trouble," Huai'an said gratefully.

She never expected that Gu Jingxing would write a letter specifically to remind her of these things.

In fact, she had always wanted to find someone to help take care of her biological father's situation, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she never thought of finding a solution from Grandpa Gu.

Just then, Mrs. Gu walked over with a smile, carrying a plate of peanuts and red dates. She gently placed it on the table and said tenderly to Huai'an, "Huai'an, come and have some peanuts. Let's sit down and chat. His uncle called from Beijing first, and then wrote a letter. That's how we found out that naughty boy actually took advantage of his free time to come to Beijing to visit you!"

Moreover, his uncle kept praising your excellent medical skills in his letter, saying that thanks to you, his injured leg was able to recover so quickly. Now he can not only stand up steadily, but even walk a few steps! The rehabilitation training is going very smoothly!

Huai'an quickly and modestly waved his hand and said, "As a doctor, saving lives is my duty! In fact, I should be grateful to them. If they hadn't trusted me so much, who would have dared to let a novice like me treat patients?"

Just then, Grandpa Gu, stroking his white beard, chimed in with a smile, "Haha, he was just trying anything at the time! He'd already seen so many doctors, but everyone said there was no cure! Desperate times call for desperate measures, and who knew he'd get lucky and meet An'an, who actually cured him. But as they say, 'heroes emerge from among the young,' and now it's truly 'the younger generation surpasses the older!'"

After saying that, Grandpa Gu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
