Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Old Mr. Tang gave Li Tianyi a few more instructions, telling him to take care of his health and not to take his health lightly just because he was young.

Li Tian agreed to everything. After Mr. Tang left the office, he tore the paper into strips. Then he wrote down the positions and names of the components one by one on the strips and placed them next to the components of each part. This way, when he came back from vacation, he wouldn't have to go through all the components again.

In fact, during this period of time, he has already assembled one set of three sets of electronic components. The second set is now on his desk. As for the third set of electronic components, he locked it in the safe.

Although he really wanted to take the electronic components back home to assemble them, he couldn't do so because he was afraid of losing them. These electronic components were large and small, with the large ones being more than ten centimeters long and the small ones being just over one centimeter long. If they fell on the ground, they would not be easy to find.

Li Tianyi cleaned his office and went to the cafeteria to have lunch. In the afternoon, someone notified him to go to the Finance Department to collect his salary. Li Tianyi followed the crowd to the Finance Department. He had been in the Academy of Sciences for a month and a half and had received half a month's salary and benefits before.

Speaking of welfare, the things here are better than those in the Ministry of Industry. In addition to various bills every month, they also issue a wine ticket and a cigarette ticket. Li Tianyi kept the wine ticket and gave the cigarette ticket to Li's father.

As for why he left the wine receipts, it was because he wanted to buy some Moutai and store them in the space. After a few decades, these would be good wines that could be used as gifts or to entertain guests.

As for the cigarette coupons, he didn't smoke, so he gave them to his father, an old smoker. This kind of cigarette coupons were not available in the outside world and were only available to the upper class and the Academy of Sciences. In any case, Li Tianyi had never seen them in the Ministry of Industry.

Moreover, the cigarettes you buy are not sold everywhere. You can only buy them in the Sijiucheng Department Store.

After receiving the cigarette coupons, Mr. Li went to the department store after get off work and bought a pack of cigarettes. After that, Mr. Li started showing off. He opened a pack of cigarettes and started telling everyone he met in the courtyard about it.

In the end, Li's mother felt so ashamed that she pulled him back from outside and sternly warned Li's father not to show off outside again.

Under pressure from Mother Li's suppression, Father Li had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

However, various speculations arose in the courtyard because of Li's father's behavior. Li Tianyi had been working in a steel rolling mill before, so everyone just thought that he was assigned to the steel rolling mill and became a deputy-section-level engineer.

But now they can hardly see Li Tianyi in the steel rolling mill. Some curious people asked the technicians in the technical department. Although those technicians did not explain clearly what Li Tianyi was doing, the information they revealed confirmed that Li Tianyi might have been promoted.

Now, seeing that kind of cigarette, which is not specially supplied but not easily available on the market, further confirmed the speculation of everyone in the courtyard.

For this reason, Yan Bugui specifically asked Li's father about it. Li's father did not tell the truth. He just said that Li Tianyi's work relationship was not with the steel rolling mill from the beginning. His file was in the Ministry of Industry. The reason why Li Tianyi went to work at the steel rolling mill was because of a secondment.

Anyway, all kinds of rumors about Li Tianyi were circulating in the courtyard. Every time someone talked about Li Tianyi, everyone was envious, jealous and hateful.

After receiving this month's salary, Li Tianyi went to the logistics department to collect the New Year's benefits. This time, the benefits given to them by the Academy of Sciences were very rich, including meat, noodles, and three sea fish. Li Tianyi walked into the office carrying a snakeskin bag, which contained all the benefits that had just been distributed.

After that, Li Tianyi did not work. Now there were still two hours before the end of get off work, and he was not going to continue working. He took out a book from the space and started reading.

It was soon time to get off work. Li Tianyi walked out of the office building carrying his things, and then rode his bike out of the Academy of Sciences.

When I got home, my father and Xiaoxue were already back. Today they also brought home benefits distributed by their units. Now, the Li family's cellar became rich again.

With these things, the Li family no longer needs to buy other New Year goods. Of course, this time when Li's father returned home, he also took back Li Tianyi's benefits at the steel rolling mill.

Although Li Tianyi's official job is still at the steel mill, he can't say anything if the mill doesn't give him these New Year benefits. But who is Li Huaide? He specifically instructed his secretary to prepare Li Tianyi's share. In fact, he is just trying to maintain his relationship with Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi didn't say anything. This situation was a common phenomenon now. He asked Li's mother to pack up all the things. As for Li Tianhu's share, he could keep some of it and give it as a gift to his future father-in-law in two days.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time, and children are chasing and playing in the streets, creating a lively scene.

Now An An already knows the fun of setting off firecrackers. Ever since Li Tianyi had his holidays, he has been pestering Li Tianyi to buy him firecrackers. Sometimes Li Tianyi really has no choice but to take him to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When they came out, An An's small pocket was full of small firecrackers, while Li Tianyi was holding a bag in his hand, which was filled with firecrackers needed for the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, Li's father asked Yan Bugui to write a few couplets early in the morning. Li Tianyi and Li Tianhu were responsible for posting the couplets. Then Li Tianhu took another pair of couplets and went to the house he was allocated. Although no one lived there, it was New Year and couplets needed to be posted.

In the Li family courtyard, Li's mother, her daughter and daughter-in-law were preparing the ingredients. Li Tianhu's fiancée would come here to celebrate the New Year at noon today, so the lunch today must be sumptuous.

Soon the lively Spring Festival passed, and the working days came quietly. People once again devoted themselves to work with high enthusiasm.

Li Tianyi arrived at the Academy of Sciences and saw from afar two soldiers standing guard at the door of his office.

Li Tianyi did not return to the office, but went to Mr. Tang. He first wished Mr. Tang a happy old age, and then talked about the office guards. Mr. Tang did not say much and took Li Tianyi to his office.

The two guards obviously knew Mr. Tang, and Mr. Tang told the guards to go back. After the guards left, Li Tianyi opened the door and looked at the electronic components on the table. Seeing that they were the same as before the Chinese New Year, he felt relieved.

After thanking Mr. Tang, Li Tianyi once again immersed himself in his work.

That day, Li Tianyi was concentrating on sorting transistors when Elder Tang walked in and said, "Xiao Li, stop for a moment."

Li Tianyi looked at Elder Tang in confusion, "Elder Tang, what happened?"

"The chip you need has been delivered. It is now with Dean Zhang. Come with me to take a look."

Li Tianyi stood up excitedly, "Let's go quickly, I can't wait."
