Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

As the sky gradually darkens, every house is brightly lit, and people sit at the table chatting and eating heartily.

After the meal, the Li family cleared away the dishes, and Li Haifu took out the playing cards again. The four of them played poker, but now they didn't play the Landlord game. Instead, they played "scoring".

"Have you spent the 200 yuan?" Li Haifu asked casually while touching the cards.

Li Muhua thought he wanted to get back the remaining twenty yuan, and quickly shouted, "We spent it all the day before yesterday, otherwise why would we stay at home yesterday!"

As Li Muhua said this, she winked at the three of them. Li Qinghua, who was very straightforward, quickly confirmed, "Yes, it was all spent. We had a roast duck meal, five hot pot meals, and donkey meat hotpot—"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Li Haifu stopped Li Qinghua from reading the dishes and asked, "The money is gone, I just want to ask you guys, have you learned anything from spending so much money in the past ten days?"

"It's 200 yuan! You can't waste it, right?"

The four of them frowned after hearing this. Is there any reason to spend money?

Li Muhua thought about it but couldn't figure out anything. The other three people looked at him and wanted him to speak. It was okay for him to say something wrong at his age.

Li Muhua had no choice but to bite the bullet and test it out: "I know it's good to be rich. I must study hard in the future, write a few more valuable books, and get into college. I want to live like this every day in the future."

Li Haifu nodded and asked, "What about you?"

Li Qinghua glanced at Li Muhua, then nodded and said weakly: "I think so too. I must work hard to make more money in the future."

"Yeah!" Li Haifu nodded.

Li Aihua said: "Money is just currency. Money alone cannot take you to many places. Learning is the most important thing. Knowledge can take us to more places!"

"Yeah!" Li Haifu nodded.

Li Yujie sat next to Li Muhua. Seeing that she was the only one left, she whispered, "I think it's still a bit of a waste. We used to get 200 cents of pocket money every week. These yuan could cover our pocket money for nearly ten years. But after only twenty days——"

Li Yujie didn't say anything else, looking a little reluctant.

"Ok!"

Li Fuhai nodded again and said, "No!"

Li Aihua looked at the cards in her hand, then looked at the cards on the table and said, "40 points!"

"45 points!" Li Qinghua shouted immediately afterwards.

Li Muhua's mind was not on poker, mainly because the game was boring. He looked at Li Haifu and asked, "Dad, the four of us have explained the reason, why don't you say something?"

"I didn't go out with you to spend money, so what am I saying?" Li Haifu glared at Li Muhua, intending to tease her.

Li Muhua continued to rap: "I didn't ask you to speak the truth, you asked us to speak the truth. Now that we have finished speaking, shouldn't you also speak our truth?"

"I just saw that you spent so much money, and I just wanted to ask you how you feel about it, whether you feel particularly happy spending money." Li Haifu nodded and said:

"As for the truth you said, all the truth you can say is right. How can there be any wrong truth? It's all right as long as you have it."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's play cards. It's your turn. Do you want to play?"

Li Muhua looked at his dark-faced and black-hearted father helplessly, thinking that he was satisfied with the answers of several people, so he did not take the next step.

If I say I haven't spent enough and ask him to take out another two hundred, I'll probably get hit in the face with a deck of cards the next moment!

After figuring out the key points, Li Muhua looked at the twelve cards in his hand again, closed them and said, "This is meaningless, so I came up with a fun way, shout, shout - shout to run faster!"

Hearing the words "run fast", they were all stunned. Li Muhua took this opportunity to quickly snatch the cards from their hands, put them together, removed six of them, and acted as the dealer to deal cards to them.

As he dealt the cards, he said, "The rule is that the three of hearts goes first. Don't make it so troublesome to call for points. You can..."

Li Haifu is an old hand, and he naturally understood what Li Muhua said in just a few words. Li Aihua is smart and he learned it after just playing a few games.

Only Li Qinghua had to let Li Yujie, a spectator, serve as his military advisor.

"Mu Hua, this 'Run Fast' gameplay you came up with is great, simple, fast and direct, more interesting than playing 100%!" After playing a few cards, Li Haifu started to praise.

Li Muhua shamelessly accepted the compliment and said proudly, "What's the big deal? To me, playing cards are just four groups of 4 numbers, plus a series of combinations of jokers. If I'm willing to think, I can think of a hundred ways to play."

Li Qinghua couldn't help but look envious after hearing this. Since he was a child, he has been surpassed by Li Aihua in every aspect. Then it was Li Yujie, who was deeply loved by her parents. Now it is even more so with Li Muhua.

Studying and reading, no - Li Muhua is even writing a book. Now he can't even play with his younger brother. Li Qinghua feels disappointed and bitter!

Li Haifu was also a little surprised by Li Muhua's intelligence, but not too much. After all, he had seen too many incredible things from Li Muhua in the past few months.

After reviewing the past few months in his mind, Li Haifu decided to go back to his hometown this year to pay homage to his ancestors and see if smoke was coming out of their ancestral graves.

The six people took turns playing cards until late at night, and then they started to make dumplings. When the dumplings were almost finished, the sound of firecrackers began to be heard outside.

"It's the New Year, 1966!"

Li Muhua listened to the sound of firecrackers outside and stopped making dumplings. He thought about the changes this year.

Although he came from a time travel, he could only change a small courtyard. Even though he knew about the historical oppression, he could not stop it and could only pray that his family would not be crushed.

This is his New Year's wish.

Li Haifu saw that he was distracted and thought he wanted to set off firecrackers, so he said, "Go set off the firecrackers quickly and stop getting in your mother's way here. Wrap the dumplings the same way as the buns."

Li Muhua looked at the little stuffing in the bowl, continued making dumplings and said, "Let's go out and set off firecrackers together after we finish making the dumplings!"

"Yes!" Li Qinghua nodded and quickened his movements. He picked up the filling, which was nearly the size of an egg, and with both hands, he wrapped the dumplings like steamed buns.

"Be careful when making dumplings, and don't force me to slap you during the New Year!" Li Haifu glanced at him and threatened.

"Ok!"

Li Qinghua agreed in a muffled voice, and then said: "Actually, I think the dumplings I make are the best. If you guys dislike them so much, I can just eat them all by myself tomorrow."

"Huh~" Xu Yan sneered.

"These dumplings you made will fall apart tomorrow when they are put into the pot. Then everyone in my family will have to drink dumpling soup with you!"

After wrapping the dumplings in a short while, they didn't even clean up the table. After washing their hands, they picked up firecrackers and rushed out the door and into the alley.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"

Everyone they bumped into started to wish each other a happy new year. Li Muhua didn't bother with the politeness, so she and Li Qinghua set off firecrackers in the middle of the alley, lit them up, and hid to one side, covering their ears.

"Pah pah pah pah~"

In the flickering flames, 1966 walked towards the crowd.
