Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Yi Zhonghai had no choice, he couldn't take action, and Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang were no match for the three members of the Xu family. After a while of arguing, they finally accepted the mediation.

Things went smoothly after that. Although Qin Huairu also asked people to inquire about the situation of the Jia family, she believed that she could control Jia Zhangshi. Plus, Jia Dongxu was more handsome than Xu Damao, so she agreed to the marriage.

Two days later, Matchmaker Zhang came to the courtyard again to discuss the betrothal gifts with the Jia family. After several days of discussion, the wedding date was finally set for this weekend.

Jia Dongxu came to Li's house to borrow a bicycle, saying that he was going to Qinjia Village to pick up Qin Huairu. Of course, Yi Zhonghai also borrowed one from the street office and asked Liu Guangqi to go with him to pick up the bride.

Father Li lent the bicycle to the Jia family without any hesitation. After all, this was a happy occasion, and if he didn't lend it, it would be considered a bad idea.

Li Tianyi didn't have to go to school that day, so he wanted to go out for a walk. Because the public-private partnership was a hot topic, many small shops were selling their products at a discount and were planning to close down.

Li Tianyi wanted to buy some things to store, after all, they would enter the era of coupons starting next year.

Time quickly came to Sunday. Jia Dongxu and Liu Guangqi set out early in the morning. Every family in the courtyard sent one person to help the Jia family. Although Sha Zhu was unhappy, he still did his job as a chef diligently.

Jia Zhang was very happy today. She didn't give much as a dowry, but she married such a beautiful daughter-in-law. Although she was from the countryside and had no job, it was easy to control rural girls. Once she got married, she could enjoy her life.

Here, Jia Zhang's abacus was clacking, and Yi Zhonghai was happy today. He felt like his own son was getting married. Of course, it would be even better if Jia Zhang, this eyesore, wasn't there.

It was almost noon when Jia Dongxu brought Qin Huairu into the courtyard. When the young men in the courtyard saw Qin Huairu, their eyes widened. Jia Dongxu saw all of this. He was very happy today. He didn't expect that he could marry such a beautiful wife.

However, Jia Zhang was a little unhappy when she saw this scene. Her daughter-in-law was not shy or angry at all when she saw so many men staring at her. This made Jia Zhang realize that this woman was not simple.

The banquet in the yard began to get lively, while Li Tianyi wandered around the city for several hours and visited some stores with signs saying they were having a sale. Although these stores clearly had signs saying they were having a discount, in fact the prices had not dropped much.

Li Tianyi just wandered around these shops. He had no shortage of things in his space, so he came here today just to buy more to be prepared.

At the end of the day, Li Tianyi only bought some cloth soaked in rain water. This kind of cloth is not valuable now, but it will be impossible to buy it in the future.

When he returned to the courtyard, the yard had been cleaned up. When the younger sister saw her brother coming back, she immediately ran up. Li Tianyi handed her the candied haws in his hand and told her to go out and play. Of course, the younger brother also had some. Then the two children ran to the yard to find their own friends to play with.

"Dad, how was the Jia family wedding banquet today?" Li Tianyi asked while washing his face.

"It's OK. Yi Zhonghai paid for Jia Dongxu's wedding, so the wedding banquet was OK."

"Is the new bride beautiful?" Li Tianyi asked curiously. In his previous life's novel, Qin Huairu was described as a fairy from heaven, which made Li Tianyi very confused.

"Not bad." He looked towards the kitchen and saw that Mother Li was not paying attention to this side. Then he whispered, "Son, it's a pity that you are here today. Let me tell you, when Qin Huairu arrived today, all the young people in the yard stared at her in amazement."

Li Tianyi didn't believe it. He couldn't imagine what kind of woman could be so beautiful. But he didn't care about it. The college entrance examination was only a month away, and all his energy was on studying.

In the following month, Li Tianyi went out early and came back late, preparing for the college entrance examination, so he didn't pay much attention to what happened in the yard.

But when Li's father and mother were chatting, Sha Zhu overheard that he saw Qin Huairu washing clothes under the water pipe and stared at her. Xu Damao saw it and shouted it out to everyone in the yard. Qin Huairu was scolded by Jia Zhang and sent back to the house, while Xu Damao was beaten by Sha Zhu and was hospitalized.

As for how the problem was solved later, Li Tianyi did not inquire, but he did not expect that the two major slackers in the courtyard had appeared in the later period. Qin Huairu had endless clothes to wash all day long, and Jia Zhangshi always had endless soles to sew.

On the day of the college entrance examination, Li's father and mother wanted to send Li Tianyi to the examination room, but were stopped by Li Tianyi. He was not nervous, so why should he let his parents delay his classes?

Li Tianyi's college entrance examination did not cause any ripples in Siheyuan. Only the Li family and Yan Bugui cared about his results.

After the college entrance examination, Li Tianyi went to QH University to look for Mr. Wang. However, when he walked into the school gate, a voice came from behind him, "Li boy, come here, I have something to ask you."

Li Tianyi turned around and saw the doorman waving at him, so Li Tianyi turned around and went into the doorman's office.

"Uncle Shen, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Tianyi only knew that the uncle's surname was Shen, and he only found out later when they got to know each other better.

"Boy, why haven't you been here for so long?" Uncle Shen looked at Li Tianyi curiously. Time flies so fast. Four years have passed in a blink of an eye. This boy has grown from a child to the teenager he is now. Uncle Shen has also investigated the child's information a long time ago. This child is really a genius. He has had good grades since he was young and has taught himself a lot of things.

"I'm going to take the college entrance examination, so I stopped the translation work I was doing. Now that the college entrance examination is over, I came to see Mr. Wang to see if there is any translation work that needs to be done. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"You little brat, why can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong? Come to my house when you have time. I have a granddaughter who is about your age, and she's so pretty." Grandpa Shen showed off to Li Tianyi with pride.

But Li Tianyi's face was full of black lines, "Uncle, you are not interested in me, are you? Do you want to find a partner for your granddaughter?"

Uncle Shen was exposed by him and immediately turned hostile and drove Li Tianyi out. Li Tianyi ran away with a smile and shouted: "Uncle Shen, I will come to see you this weekend and go home with you."

"Get out." Uncle Shen shouted at Li Tianyi's back with full energy.

Afterwards, Li Tianyi smoothly got a translation job from Mr. Wang. Time passed quickly and he had already filled out his college entrance examination application form long before the exam. Li Tianyi applied for the mechanical engineering major at QH University.

When Li Tianyi's admission letter was mailed to the Siheyuan, it caused a sensation in the courtyard. This was the first college student in their Siheyuan and even in the hutong. Li's father and mother cried with joy, and later held a wedding banquet in the yard to entertain everyone in the yard.
