Chapter 137: Maybe there will be unexpected gains
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the yard, followed by a knock at the door. He Yuliang was about to open the door, but when he walked towards it, the door had already been opened.
"Liu Guangfu is back!" someone exclaimed.
A middle-aged man in farm clothes stood at the door, with a tired but happy smile on his face. This middle-aged man was Liu Guangfu, an old friend of He Yuliang. They had worked together in the countryside, but now he was a migrant worker who came to the city to make a living.
"Liu Guangfu!" He Yuliang exclaimed in surprise and went to greet him.
"Yuliang, long time no see!" Liu Guangfu said with a smile.
"Mom, Dad, come and see! This little bird seems to be injured!" He Yuliang called out to his parents loudly.
They hurried over and saw the bird's condition and became worried.
“We need to treat its wounds and feed it well to see if it can recover,” the mother suggested.
The father nodded, and then he and the mother brought medical supplies and food, began to treat the bird's wounds, and then fed it carefully.
He Yuliang was deeply moved when he saw their actions. Although he no longer had Yan Jiedi's help, the love and support from his family still made him feel warm and happy.
However, at this moment, a scream broke the silence. He Yuliang looked up and saw Chen's youngest daughter, Liu Fang, standing in the yard with a terrified look on her face.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, come and see!" Liu Fang shouted loudly.
He Yuliang quickly put down the tools in his hand, ran over to see Liu Fang, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Liu Fang pointed to a corner of the yard and said tremblingly: "There is a big rat, and it seems to be trying to get into our warehouse!"
Upon hearing the news, He Yuliang's heart tightened and he hurried towards the direction of the warehouse.
He Yuliang hurried to the warehouse, and just as he was about to get close, he smelled a foul smell. The mouse seemed to sense his approach, and turned to look at him, with a cunning light in its eyes.
"Damn rat!" He Yuliang cursed in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to get angry. He needed to calmly think of a way to solve this problem.
He slowly approached the mouse, carefully watching its movements, fearing that it would suddenly attack him. The mouse seemed to sense his nervousness and began to slowly retreat, with a hint of vigilance in its eyes.
He Yuliang did not dare to be careless. He carefully circled the mouse and tried to drive it out of the warehouse. But the mouse did not seem to be going away easily. It stared at He Yuliang vigilantly, ready to fight back at any time.
At this moment, Liu Fang's voice suddenly came: "Xiaoyu, you have to be careful!"
Upon hearing this, He Yuliang quickly turned around and saw Liu Fang standing at the door of the warehouse holding a stick, looking anxious.
"Liu Fang, don't come close, this rat might attack you!" He Yuliang shouted hurriedly.
After hearing this, Liu Fang hesitated slightly, but still refused to retreat.
“I can’t let it harm our warehouse!” She gritted her teeth, tightened the stick in her hand, and prepared to fight back.
Seeing this, He Yuliang had an idea and realized that he needed to find a way to lure the rat away, otherwise the situation would become more dangerous.
"Liu Fang, please step back a little. I'll try to lure it away." He Yuliang said loudly.
Liu Fang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and retreated to a safe distance. He Yuliang continued to confront the rat, trying to find an opportunity to lure it out of the warehouse.
He moved slowly, step by step, approaching the mouse, trying to create a loophole. The mouse seemed to sense his intention and began to growl softly, showing an attacking posture.
He Yuliang's heart tightened, but he did not retreat, and continued to move forward slowly. At this moment, he suddenly heard a scream.
"careful!"
He subconsciously looked up and saw Liu Fang rushing towards the mouse with a stick, trying to hit it hard. But the mouse saw her action, reacted immediately, and attacked her.
Seeing this, He Yuliang's heart tightened. He rushed forward and tried to push Liu Fang away, but it was too late.
The rat pounced on Liu Fang. She closed her eyes in horror but did not feel the painful attack.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past and hugged Liu Fang tightly in his arms. Liu Fang opened her eyes and found that He Yuliang was holding her in front of his chest, and a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
"Liu Fang, are you okay?" He Yuliang asked with concern.
Liu Fang shook her head, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Xiaoyu, you saved my life." Her voice trembled slightly with a hint of excitement.
He Yuliang shook his head and said with a smile: "This is what I should do. I'm glad you're okay. Let's go quickly. The rats may come back." He took Liu Fang's hand and they quickly left the warehouse together.
Back in the yard, He Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little comforted when he saw that Liu Fang was safe and sound. Although they had been in danger when facing a mouse, they finally resolved the crisis.
A few days passed, and He Yuliang and Liu Fang's life gradually returned to normal. However, under this calm surface, He Yuliang's mood began to become a little irritable. He was at a turning point in his career. At the age of nearly 40, he began to have some doubts and uneasiness about his work and life.
Sitting in his yard, He Yuliang stared into the distance silently, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He used to be engaged in a stable and safe job, but as he grew older, he began to feel the pressure and boredom of work. Repeating the same work tasks every day seemed to have moved away from his former dreams and passions.
"Xiaoyu, what are you thinking about?" His mother's voice suddenly broke his thoughts.
He Yuliang came to his senses and saw his mother standing beside him, looking at him with a smile.
"It's nothing, Mom. I just have some worries lately." He Yuliang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
His mother stared at him, as if she could see through the troubles in his heart.
"Is it about work?" she asked gently.
He Yuliang nodded and said with a heavy heart: "Yes, Mom, I am beginning to feel that my job is a bit monotonous and boring, but I don't know how to change it. After all, I am old now, and it is not easy to change jobs."
After hearing this, the mother patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Xiaoyu, life is full of choices and challenges. Everyone will encounter confusion and difficulties. But as long as you have courage and determination, you will always find your own way out. Maybe you can try to find some new opportunities, or consider your own interests and hobbies, and you may get unexpected gains."
