Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Li Tianyi brought the rice to the table. The younger brother climbed onto the stool and sat down, waiting for Li Tianyi to share the rice with him.

At Li Tian's house, every time they had a meal, Li Tianyi would transfer some food to his younger brother's bowl and then give him a steamed bun. The younger brother would then start to fiercely attack the food in the bowl.

The purpose of doing this is to allow my younger brother to eat more. He is still young and sometimes cannot pick up the food steadily, and often drops it on the table. My younger sister is the same as him, but she uses a spoon. Even so, she eats like a little cat.

After Li Tianyi divided the dishes among his younger brother and sister, he ate while reading a book, and occasionally added more dishes to his younger sister and brother.

Li Tianyi is on summer vacation now. He needs to plan his time well for these two months. He can't just stay at home to take care of the children all the time.

When he was in school before, Li's mother would take his younger brother and sister to the cafeteria. Not only Li's mother did this, but other employees who had no one to look after their children at home also did this. As long as it did not delay their work, no one would care. His younger brother and sister had many friends to play with in the cafeteria, including Xiao Yushui.

As for why He Daqing didn't ask Yi Zhonghai's wife to look after the children, Yi Zhonghai is now only in his thirties, almost forty, and has never stopped thinking about having children. In the yard, he only gives the image of a good guy, and has not yet reached the state of being obsessed with taking care of his old age, as in his later years.

Now the courtyard is still very harmonious. Although there are constant minor frictions, there are always conflicts between neighbors. Basically, there are no major conflicts between neighbors.

Although Li Tianyi has a library in his mind, the knowledge in it needs external stimulation to appear. It is useless to imagine it out of thin air, so he plans to use this summer vacation to recharge himself in the library.

Li Tianyi's future goal is mechanical manufacturing, so he plans to read some books on mechanics first. On the other hand, he needs an opportunity to make money in a legitimate way. Although he has a large amount of foreign currency and gold in his space, these things cannot be taken out.

Now that the country has just been established for a short time, the anti-enemy and anti-spy movement is in full swing. If there is anything wrong in any courtyard, it will be reported to the Military Control Commission, and the comrades of the Military Control Commission will come down to investigate.

So Li Tianyi didn't dare to make any move. He didn't want to ruin his future for a little money.

As for how to make money, he has already thought of it. Although he was a librarian in his previous life, his foreign languages ​​are still good. Over the years, Li Tianyi has deliberately collected foreign language books. After several years of study, he has mastered English, French, German, and has only learned Russian for more than a year.

As for why he learned Russian so late, it was because when the bald man ruled Beijing, there were no Russian books at all. The reason is well known to everyone. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that Li Tianyi found a Russian dictionary. He took the dictionary to the Xinhua Bookstore and asked the clerk who could speak Russian. Only then did he understand the pronunciation of Russian. Later, he memorized the Russian dictionary and was able to speak Russian roughly.

This summer he plans to improve his Russian and then take the elementary translation certificate exam. He had heard from a clerk at Xinhua Bookstore that the bookstore has a large number of books that need to be translated, especially Russian books. Because we have a good relationship with the big brother in the north, the big brother has provided us with a lot of assistance, including books.

As for English, French, German and so on, Li Tianyi did not reveal them. Now in Beijing, spies are rampant and one could lose his life if he is not careful. He does not want to be the first to be exposed.

After lunch, Li Tianyi carried his sister into the inner room for a nap, and his younger brother followed behind. Although he wanted to go out and tread water, he did not dare to do anything because of his elder brother's authority.

My little sister likes to hold people's fingers when she sleeps. After she falls asleep, Li Tianyi pulls out her fingers and goes to the outer room to continue reading.

At this time, Xu Damao's still slightly childish voice suddenly came from the yard: "Shazhu, you are a fool. You don't even know to hold an umbrella when it rains. You are soaked like a drowned chicken. Do you want to pluck your hair and rinse it in the soup pot?"

Then there was a sound of chasing, and Sha Zhu shouted: "Xu Damao, you deserve to be punished, wait and see how I, your uncle, punish you today."

Li Tianyi went out of the door curiously and came to the middle courtyard. At this time, Xu Damao was running in front and Sha Zhu was chasing behind, while some of the others were standing under the eaves and some were standing at the door watching the fun. They basically staged a chase and escape drama every few days.

But Xu Damao was unlucky today. It was raining and the road was slippery. When he turned around and wanted to continue taunting Sha Zhu, he didn't notice the water under his feet and fell forward without standing firmly. Seeing this, how could Sha Zhu let him go? He rode on Xu Damao's body and started to hit him with his fists, beating Xu Damao so hard that he screamed like a ghost.

Jia Zhang took her son Jia Dongxu and took the opportunity to teach him a lesson, "Dongxu, don't play with Shazhu anymore. This idiot doesn't know how to control his strength. Don't let him hurt you."

Jia Dongxu was very impatient when he heard his mother's words, "Mom, I'm two years older than Shazhu. I can't beat him."

"What do you know? Shazhu's physique is the result of shaking a big spoon. He has great strength. Besides, he learned wrestling from the martial artists on the overpass before, so don't mess with him if you have nothing to do."

"Did Shazhu learn wrestling? How come I didn't know that?"

"He Daqing said this when he was drunk. Not many people in this courtyard know about it."

At this time, the aunties who were watching the excitement were afraid that something might happen to Xu Damao, so they hurriedly pulled up Sha Zhu who was riding on Xu Damao. At this time, Xu Damao no longer had the strength to shout, and just lay on the ground groaning.

Li Tianyi went forward to check on Xu Damao's condition. Seeing that Xu Damao was about to faint from being beaten, he quickly asked the aunties in the courtyard to carry Xu Damao back home. If Xu Damao was left lying on the ground and exposed to the rain, Xu Fugui might have to collect Xu Damao's body when he came back in the evening.

There was no more excitement in the yard, and the aunties had all gone home. Li Tianyi poured Xu Damao a glass of water, asked him to lie down and relax, and then left the Xu family.

At this time, Li Tianyi discovered that the deaf old lady was looking out through the window. Li Tianyi pretended not to see it and left the backyard.

Speaking of this deaf old lady, many fan fictions have demonized her, but according to Li Tianyi, although it is not known whether the old lady's children have really died, the old lady has lived alone since his family came to this courtyard, and Li Tian's family also bought the house from the old lady. After liberation, the old lady asked Yi Zhonghai to take her to the Military Control Commission and donated the house, leaving only two main rooms in the backyard for herself.

I don’t know how it was handled later, but the Military Control Commission registered the deaf old lady as a five-guarantee household.
