Chapter 112: 106 restraints

The next day, Yang Wenbin and Niu Sanxian felt quite embarrassed after waking up. It was truly impolite to drink excessively while being a guest at someone else’s home. Knowing that Yang Wenbin had to rush off to Shanghai, He Xuewen took out two bottles of Qiong Wine from the storeroom and gave them to Yang Xuewen. People from Yang Xuewen’s family were all from the military and had some hidden injuries, so this medicinal wine was very popular within the Yang Family.

Two bottles of Qiong Wine weighed about four kilograms in total, dividing it left only a little for each person. Tian Sisi’s Space had a lot of this specially made Qiong Wine—supply was plentiful. However, He Xuewen didn’t want to take out too much at once because rarity adds value; too much of a good thing can make it common.

Yang Wenbin didn’t refuse much and accepted it. Since Yang He and his family had formed an alliance, there was no need to be overly courteous in such minor things as it would only indicate distance between them. As for the other ordinary wines, Yang Xuewen bought them at three yuan per kilogram, purchasing a total of one hundred kilograms.

At Niu Sanxian’s place, He Xuewen gifted him ten kilograms of wine. Niu Sanxian was reluctant to accept and directly took out one hundred yuan to buy thirty kilograms. He Xuewen could only accept sixty yuan—the ten kilograms of wine he insisted on gifting to Niu Sanxian, who, delighted, laughed heartily, indicating that next time He Xuewen and Yang Wenbin must visit his home and taste the authentic Hangzhou cuisine of the Niu family.

After sending off Yang Wenbin and the others, He Xuewen rested at home for a day before planning a trip to Guangzhou. Before leaving, Yang Wenbin mentioned that he wanted to buy some cheap cloth and clothes to sell in the north, and those could only be found in Guangzhou.

He Xuewen had connections in Guangzhou, making it convenient to source goods. He thought that if things went smoothly, he could make a significant profit, which would allow him to rest at home for a while and spend quality time with his daughter. However, when Tian Sisi learned of this, she strictly forbade He Xuewen from leaving immediately, insisting that he rest at home for three to four days before departing.

He Xuewen was very anxious, as doing business required efficiency, and a single day’s delay meant a loss of a lot of money. He tried to speak nicely to Tian Sisi, but she was unyielding. With her big eyes widen and her small mouth blabbering, she said:

"Is money more important or your health? Daddy, your health isn’t even that good, although it’s much better than before, you still need good care. No matter how much money you earn, you need to be alive to spend it. Daddy, you need to learn to enjoy life! Like me, sleep until I wake up naturally, count..."

Tian Sisi swallowed the words "count money until my hands cramp" back; saying that would be too ahead of times. She swallowed her saliva and continued to educate her father.

"The point is, Daddy, you need to learn to slow down. Money is endless, but life is limited. You can’t use your limited life to chase infinite money, understand?"

How could she say such philosophically deep words, Tian Sisi deeply admired herself. "Daddy, don’t you think I spoke really well? I also think I did a pretty good job, ordinary people definitely can’t come up with such profound words."

He Xuewen looked at his silly daughter, amused. Where did this little girl hear such bizarre things, this talk of limited and unlimited. But it did make some sense. He tapped on Tian Sisi’s head, "Alright, you’ve made a good point. Daddy will rest at home for three days, but after that, I must go, and you can’t stop me."

"I promise not to stop you. Ah, if only I was on vacation now, it would be great. I could go with Daddy to Guangzhou and see what it’s like during the seventies."

"There will be plenty of time in the future, Ah Nan still has wonderful days ahead. Eventually, Daddy not only wants to take Ah Nan to travel across China but around the whole world too. Whether a man or a woman, one should venture out more."

Regretting that he had never been abroad, He Xuewen did not want his daughter to become as isolated as he had been.

"Daddy should take even more care of his health, so that he won’t be unable to keep up with me when we go out and play. Otherwise, I’d have to carry you on my back, and I definitely can’t carry Daddy."

Tian Sisi took the opportunity to re-emphasize the importance of health. He Xue Wen, if he were in another generation, would be a workaholic, definitely one of those likely to die of overwork, so she must always be watching over him.

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to everything Ah Nan says. From now on, Daddy will report everything he does to you. Okay?" He Xue Wen greatly enjoyed his daughter’s concern, and he compromised with a smile.

"That’s a must."

Tian Sisi was first serious, then she laughed at her own words, chuckling with a bell-like laughter that was particularly pleasant to hear. He Xue Wen couldn’t help but join in, and the laughter of father and daughter intertwined and drifted out of the yard, up the mountain.

From afar, Tang Qiubai was watching the two, coming to change his clothes. He had just returned from catching loaches in the canal with Tian Qinghua, and got his clothes all muddy, which the cleanliness-loving Tang Qiubai couldn’t stand at all. So, he ran back to change into clean clothes, and saw Tian Sisi and He Xue Wen snuggling together, chatting intimately, warm as real father and daughter—real father and daughter? Tang Qiubai suddenly startled, why hadn’t he thought of that before?

In this world, there’s no love without reason, nor hate without cause. He heard that He Xue Wen had known Tian Sisi for less than two months. How could two strangers become so familiar in just two months?

Tang Qiubai, always skeptical about human nature, didn’t believe it at all. He Xue Wen and Tian Sisi must have an unusual relationship, but what exactly was He Xue Wen to Tian Sisi? Was he her father? An uncle? Or a family friend? Tang Qiubai thought of many possibilities, but couldn’t determine any.

However, he was quite excited, thinking he had discovered a big secret. At this moment, tang Qiubai was just a youth with a bit of cunning, thinking only of how to protect himself, and did not think of harming others. Thus, he did not think of disclosing this discovery, not even considering telling his grandfather, Tang Tieshan. He was merely curious.

Tang Qiubai hurriedly went upstairs to change his clothes, keeping the mud snails and loaches in a bucket to settle, and they could be eaten after expelling sand. A few days ago, grandfather clarified things with Grandpa Tian, and from now on, they would eat at the He Family’s home.

Grandfather handed over two-thirds of his salary to the He Family for room and board. After moving down to Yuequan Mountain, grandfather’s salary had started, although not much, it was still 70 to 80 yuan a month, including grain and meat tickets, which were also given to He Xue Wen for meal expenses.

Old Man understood the worries of his old war comrade. Although reluctant, he didn’t persuade further but followed Tang Tieshan’s decision; however, the two still worked together during the day and remained as close as ever.

He Xue Wen didn’t care much for Tang Tieshan’s few tens of yuan, but he accepted it anyway, albeit only taking half. He wouldn’t take the rest no matter what. Of course, he wasn’t just kind-hearted; for one, He Xue Wen had always admired war heroes and would help the struggling Tang Tieshan whenever possible.

Secondly, it was his own bit of selfishness. The wheel of fortune turns; Tang Tieshan might have his day again. If that day really comes, given their current goodwill, in the future Ah Nan could have an additional support. After all, for him, it cost only a little grain and oil, a small investment for potential large profits. This deal would never be a loss. (To be continued.
