Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

When he got home, the captain was smoking in the yard. His wife thought something had happened, so she went up to ask.

The captain sighed and told his wife what happened tonight. After hearing this, his wife was relieved. "Old man, this is a good thing. Why are you still worried here?"

"Ah, it's because this is a good thing that I'm worried. Think about it, there are so many people in the team, who are you going to give this quota to?"

"Of course it's for the children at home." The captain's wife spoke immediately.

"But all three places are given to the children of the brigade cadres. Can the people in the brigade accept this?"

The captain's wife was speechless now. She knew too well what people in the team were like. They looked honest at ordinary times, but if something happened, they would really dare to do it.

The couple worried all night. The next morning, the team leader came to the team headquarters with dark circles under his eyes. As soon as he entered the room, he saw two pairs of the same dark circles. The team leader knew what was going on as soon as he thought about it.

After that, the three of them were silent for a long time. Finally, the accountant couldn't hold his temper anymore and asked, "Don't just smoke. Tell us what to do about this matter?"

"What good solution can we have? It's impossible to do this without anyone knowing."

After another long silence, the captain finally spoke, "Why don't we gather all the suitable young men in the team and draw lots. Whoever draws the first one gets it!"

Although he said so, the captain's heart was bleeding. Nowadays in the countryside, if a family has a soldier, it is considered a great honor in the village.

And it’s not easy to join the army now. It doesn’t matter, you can’t even get through the door.

"Are we going to give up all three places?" the secretary said unwillingly.

"No need, just give us a quota." The captain said, "I have a quota for the city's machinery factory. Let the village draw lots first. After deciding who will go to the army, our three families will let the younger generations draw lots."

"Whoever is caught will go to the machinery factory, and whoever wants to go to the army will be left to fate."

After the captain finished speaking, he looked at the other two people. The accountant and the secretary looked at each other and both agreed with the idea.

So in the next few days, the Forward Brigade became lively. Anyone who wanted to join the army could sign up, and finally a villager would be chosen. The brigade leader had also finished drawing lots.

Li Tianyi's letter of introduction had already been given to them, so they just had to report to the county armed forces department.

As for Li Tianyi, he went to the research institute the day after he came back. After communicating with Deputy Director Zhou, he explained their plan to relocate and asked Deputy Director Zhou to make the arrangements.

Just like that, Li Tianyi held a general meeting, made arrangements for the subsequent work, and then asked everyone if they had any opinions. These people were all excited and would never raise any objections.

In the following days, everyone started to get busy, packing up things into different categories, and Li Tianyize went to see Commander Sun.

At this time, Commander Sun had also received orders from his superiors. After seeing Li Tianyi, he first congratulated him. This young man was truly extraordinary. He had slowly grown up under his nose and was now at the same level as him.

Li Tianyi also thanked Commander Sun for his care and protection, and said that if he had any problems, he could come to Sijiu City to find him.

After that, the two agreed on the departure time, and Li Tianyi left the military headquarters.

At home, Xiaoxue was also packing her luggage. At this time, Anan and Doudou had already applied for leave of absence from school and were helping their mother pack her luggage at home.

After Li Tianyi arranged everything at the research institute, he took Xiao Zhou and the others home. Xiao Xue and the two children were the only ones left at home. It was obviously not enough people, and the food, meat and other things in the house had to be sent to the Shen family, so they went to the cafeteria to eat these days.

There is no need to mail luggage when returning to Sijiu City this time. The military district will send a car to help them move everything away, so they can take all the pots, pans, and utensils with them.

After everything was packed up, Li Tianyi arranged for Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhao to drive the food to Shen's house, and then asked them to go to the dormitory to pack their personal belongings.

Now Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhao have reached the age to get married, so Li Tianyi wants to talk to them after returning to Sijiu City to see what they think and then decide whether they should stay or go.

The day of departure soon arrived. Li Tianyi took Xiao Zhou to the research institute, while Xiao Zhao stayed at home to help Xiao Xue pack her luggage.

A truck also came to the family compound. As soon as the truck stopped, several young soldiers jumped out of the truck. After saying hello to Xiaoxue and the others, they started busily moving luggage into the truck.

When the neighbors nearby heard the noise, they all went out to check. When they saw Xiaoxue, several of them gathered around and started to talk to her about what was going on.

Xiaoxue briefly explained that her husband was being transferred back to Sijiu City for work, so she came to help with the move.

Although this group of neighbors had been neighbors with the Li family for several years, they did not know Li Tianyi's specific job. They only knew that he was picked up and dropped off by car every morning and evening, and that he was often on business trips.

When asked about their husbands, they couldn't explain it clearly either. They just received an order from their superiors that if this place was attacked, they must protect Li Tianyi at all costs. This was enough to show how important Li Tianyi was.

The luggage was quickly unpacked and the logistics staff arrived. Xiaoxue handed the key to her house to them and then got into the car with her child.

After Xiaoxue left, the young soldiers in charge of logistics also moved all the furniture and other things out of the house, and the yard was empty for a while.

Li Tianyi's side was much more troublesome. There were a lot of confidential documents in it, so he had to number them when loading them, and also keep track of what was loaded on each car.

Some machines needed to be moved carefully. Li Tianyi and Deputy Director Zhou oversaw the relocation throughout the entire process. The car that went to pick up Xiaoxue and her friends also arrived at the institute and began to help the staff move their luggage.

The research institute was bustling with activity for a while. An An and Dou Dou were arranged in the office by Li Tianyi, and were told not to run around. Xiao Xue would also be there to keep an eye on them.

Today the time is tight and the task is heavy. They have to pack everything within one day and then set off in the evening.

It is early autumn now, so the temperature is very suitable, so people don’t feel too hot even when they are busy.

The cafeteria was the last to be cleaned up because they couldn't rest that day as they had to provide meals to the people here.

We were busy all day, and until after 10 o'clock in the evening, we finally loaded everything into the car.

This time even the kitchen team had to go together. When the car started, the security personnel were in the front car, followed by Li Tianyi and his team's car. In the car were Li Tianyi's family of four and Xiao Zhao, while Xiao Zhou was in the big truck behind.

A total of 6 vehicles drove towards the military district gate. Commander Sun was already waiting at the sentry post.

When they approached the sentry post, Li Tianyi and his team stopped the car. Li Tianyi got out of the car and shook hands with Commander Sun. Commander Sun said take care. Li Tianyi got in the car, and the convoy slowly drove out of the military area.
