Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

In order to reassure Li's mother and the others, Li Tianyi could only agree to find out the details first and then handle it properly.

This topic was quickly skipped, and for the rest of the time, Li Tian ate while listening to Li's father and mother nagging about family matters, such as what Doudou said on the phone, or how An An hadn't been home for such a long time and they all missed him.

Li Tianyi didn't say much either, he just listened quietly. Father and Mother Li didn't need anyone to agree with them, they just needed to listen to their story.

After lunch, Mr. and Mrs. Li went back to their room to rest, while Li Tianyi sat on the sofa and called his younger sister.

The call was quickly connected, and the tired voice of the little sister came out, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Little sister, it's me."

After hearing Li Tianyi's calm voice, the younger sister immediately became excited, "Brother, you finally called me."

"Hmph, tell me what happened? Our mother isn't explaining it clearly."

"Brother, this is what happened......"

It turned out that this time the army was laying off a large number of people, and my younger sister's husband Geng Jinzhong had nothing to do with it. However, he took a mission at this critical juncture. This mission lasted for more than a month, and he didn't come back. However, my younger sister received a message from her comrade, Geng Jinzhong, who was in the hospital.

The younger sister rushed to the hospital in a hurry, and saw this scene when she entered the ward: Geng Jinzhong's leg was in a sling, his body was wrapped in bandages, and he was still in a coma and had not woken up.

The person who was accompanying him on the bed was one of his comrades-in-arms. When he saw the little sister coming, he lowered his head in shame.

It turned out that Geng Jinzhong was hit by an enemy bomb while trying to save his comrades. Although he was rescued, the doctor said that even if his leg healed, he would still be disabled in the future.

The doctor's words hit my younger sister like a bolt from the blue. She knew how much her husband loved the army, and asking him to leave the army would be more painful than killing him.

Although she was worried about this matter, her husband was still not conscious, so my younger sister could only take care of him in the hospital. Fortunately, the children at home all lived in the school, so she didn't have to take care of them.

A week passed like this, during which time the army leaders came to visit them, and Geng Jinzhong's condition was getting better and better. The doctor said he might wake up at any time.

As time passed, Geng Jinzhong woke up. After learning about his condition, Geng Jinzhong fell silent. After hearing that he had woken up, the army leaders came to see him and talked about his transfer to civilian work. The army leaders said that although he was no longer suitable for the front line, he could go to the army's logistics department.

Geng Jinzhong just said he would consider it. He didn't want to be a burden to the army, so he was unwilling to go to logistics. However, now the army basically returns to their hometowns when they are demobilized. Geng Jinzhong's home is in a small mountain village in the northwest where the economy is backward. According to his understanding, the people there have not even solved the problem of food and clothing, which shows how poor they are.

With his current rank, even if he transferred to a local job, he would only be a section-level cadre in the county. It didn’t matter to him, but what about his wife and children?

My wife followed me out of the old city, I can't let her suffer with me!

Seeing that Geng Jinzhong looked worried as soon as he woke up, the younger sister asked him what was wrong. Geng Jinzhong stared at his wife and it took a long time before he expressed his concerns.

The younger sister was stunned for a moment. She had been to Geng Jinzhong's hometown, where the poverty was unimaginable. In recent years, Geng Jinzhong sent 10 yuan to his hometown every month just to make his parents and brothers live a better life.

Although 10 yuan may not mean much in your mind, it was not a small amount of money a few years ago.

If Geng Jinzhong retires and returns to his hometown, then I and my children will definitely go back with him. It’s okay for me, as I will follow Geng Jinzhong wherever he goes. But what about the children?

There are two children in the family. The eldest son, Geng Jianguo, is 17 years old and is in the second grade of high school, while the younger son, Geng Jiandang, is 15 years old and is in the third grade of junior high school.

If I and their father go back to my hometown, then they will definitely go back too. But what is the education situation in my hometown like? Although I don’t have a specific understanding of it, I think it won’t be very good.

Because of this, the younger sister couldn't sleep all night. Seeing that her husband was able to walk again and the hospital informed them that they could go home to recuperate, the younger sister helped him to go through the discharge procedures and then returned home.

It happened that the sons were on vacation and came home. Seeing their father injured, they were extremely worried. The eldest son, Geng Jianguo, saw that his mother was worried, so he found an opportunity and started asking her questions.

The younger sister looked at her eldest son who had grown up and spoke out what was in her heart. The eldest son immediately said that he would go wherever they went.

The younger sister was very relieved that her son did not grow up crooked, but she also told him that she did not want him and his brother to suffer.

Geng Jianguo fell into deep thought. After a while, Geng Jianguo suggested in a low voice: "Mom, didn't you say that your uncle is a high-ranking official now? Why don't you ask your uncle for help?"

"Looking for your uncle?" The younger sister raised her head in shock. She had never thought of asking her eldest brother for help. She knew her eldest brother too well. He was a principled man. Even for his own family, he would not violate the organization's principles.

Her son had never met his uncle. In the past few years, when their family went to Sijiu City, they always missed Li Tianyi by accident. Unexpectedly, her eldest son would think of his uncle today.

But the current situation does not allow her to hesitate. After her husband recovers from his injury, given his character, he will definitely report to the army immediately. If he is really not suitable to stay in the army, he will definitely leave the army as soon as possible.

The younger sister asked the older son to go into the house first. She needed to think carefully about how to talk to the older brother.

After half a month of hesitation, Geng Jinzhong's injury was no longer serious, but the injury on his leg could not be healed. Normally, no one could see anything when he walked, but as soon as he ran, he would be able to limp.

The younger sister became more and more anxious during this period. Finally, she plucked up the courage to call home, but she didn't expect that it was her mother who answered the call. Her mother told her that her older brother was doing an experiment and had not been home for a month.

As for the phone number of her eldest brother's research institute, Li's mother said she didn't know either. There was no other way, so the younger sister had to ask Li's mother to help tell Li Tianyi.

After hanging up the phone, I waited anxiously. Finally, today I received a call from Li Tianyi. I told him the whole story and waited for his decision.

After hearing this, Li Tianyi said that he could try, but what the little sister said must be true. If he found any discrepancy at all, he would definitely not help.
