Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

It has been nearly five years since Li Tianhu went abroad, but he has never returned, which makes Li's father and others very sad.

Although Li Tianhu and his friends had conflicts with Li's father and his friends when they were in China, a mother is always worried about her son even when he is far away, let alone now that he is in a foreign country.

There is no point in just worrying. They could have called before, but now the phone is blocked. Li Tianyi cannot go abroad either, so they can only worry in their hearts.

Li Tianyi had been busy for more than a month. When he went home to rest, he found out that his younger sister and her family had already arrived in Sijiu City.

While Li Tianyi was free, Li's mother called her younger sister and asked them to come to the house for dinner and have a family gathering. She also wanted Li Tianyi to meet his brother-in-law and nephew.

When Xiaomei's family came over, Li Tianyi and Xiaoxue were preparing ingredients in the kitchen. Today, Xiaomei's family came to visit officially, so Li Tianyi contacted his son and wanted Anan and Doudou to come back today.

Fortunately, the two boys were very capable and returned home the night before. Mr. and Mrs. Li were very happy to see their grandchildren whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

After the old man and the old lady had had enough of their attention, Li Tianyi called the two boys to the study, first asking about their studies and research, and then whether they were dating at school.

The two boys were a little shy at first, but after Li Tian's repeated questioning, An An told the truth.

It turned out that he had a girlfriend when he was a senior in college, and they have been dating until now. They have planned to get married after An An graduates with a master's degree.

"So where is this girl from? What does her family do?" Li Tianyi was not gossiping, he really wanted to know the situation. As the saying goes, marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. He didn't want to have to clean up the mess for his children and grandchildren when he was old.

"Dad, why are you just asking about this like my mom?" An An felt very uncomfortable with Li Tianyi's questions. Why do parents have to ask these questions when they encounter such things?

"I'm your father, of course I have to care about you." Li Tian said with a glare.

An An had no choice but to tell him about his girlfriend's family situation. It turned out that An An's girlfriend was called Jin Hong, a Manchu from the Northeast. However, her family had been impoverished for a long time. In the early days of liberation, her family was classified as poor peasants, which gave her the opportunity to go to college.

Now Jin Hong has graduated and is working in a research institute in Sijiu City. An An has been in a romantic relationship with her for the past few years, and even went to Jin Hong's home without telling her family.

"You've already met other people's parents, so why don't you bring them home?"

"If your mother and grandmother knew about this, they would break your legs." Based on his understanding of his wife and mother, Li Tianyi knew that An An would definitely be given a good beating if they knew about this.

Doudou was looking at his elder brother with a gloating look on his face. He really wanted to see his elder brother being punished by his mother.

"Dad, you can't sell me out. When my mom gets rid of me, you can help me."

Before Li Tianyi could say anything, Dou next to him burst out laughing, "Brother, if you want Dad to help you, Dad must have the courage to do so. Don't you know who is the boss in our family?"

"Hey, you little brat." Li Tianyi stood up and hit Doudou, "How can you talk like that? Who do you think is the boss in this family? Of course it's me, your dad."

An An and Dou Dou did not refute, but both lowered their heads and curled their lips.

"An An, take the opportunity to come back and explain to your mother. Otherwise, if you suddenly bring Jin Hong back one day, your mother will definitely be angry with you."

"Yes, brother, you'd better confess proactively."

An An shuddered when she thought of her mother's angry expression, "Dad, I'll go downstairs and talk to Mom later."

Li Tian nodded slightly, then looked at Doudou, "What about you, do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend at school?"

"Hey, Dad, what are you talking about? I'm still young, how can I have a boyfriend?"

"Hmph, you are the only one with a lot of ideas, you really can't do it?" Li Tianyi didn't believe his youngest son at all. This kid has been sweet-talking since he was young, and he always fooled the old man and the old woman around. They often gave him pocket money or bought him snacks without telling his family.

But there is one good thing, that is, this kid doesn't eat alone, and he will share some snacks with his brother when he buys them, so the relationship between these brothers is so good.

"Dad, how can you look at your lovely little son like this?"

Seeing his younger son acting funny, Li Tianyi knew that he couldn't get anything out of him today, so he invited them to go downstairs to eat.

As soon as they came downstairs, Doudou looked at Anan and smiled. Anan thought to herself that something was wrong and was about to stop him, but Doudou ran out, shouting as he ran, "Mom, my brother has a girlfriend."

"What, your brother is dating someone?" Xiaoxue, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard her youngest son's shout and quickly poked her head out to ask.

At this time, Li's father and mother, who were listening to the radio in the room, also came out, "An An, is what your brother said true?" Li's mother hurried to confirm whether it was true.

Aang nodded, "Yes, grandma."

"Hey, why didn't you tell me when you came back? Where is that girl from? How many people are there in her family? Where does she live?"

An An was confused by Li's mother's series of questions. Li's father quickly pulled his husband and asked him to ask slowly.

"Mom, let's talk about it after dinner." Li Tianyi suggested from the side.

Mother Li ignored Li Tianyi and just rolled her eyes at him. What she wanted now was for An An to give her a chubby great-grandson after marriage, and she would be happy.

After dinner, four adults sat on the sofa. An An moved a stool and sat opposite, looking like he was interrogating someone, while Dou Dou was eating an apple beside him. It was not easy to see his eldest brother's jokes, so today he was going to enjoy them to his heart's content.

After a series of questioning, he explained Jin Hong's family situation clearly, and then told An An about his trip to the Northeast and the attitude of Jin Hong's family. During this time, Xiaoxue heard that her son went to the girl's house without notifying his family, and she stood up angrily and slapped An An on the back several times.

Doudou felt sorry for his big brother when he saw this. He accidentally made a sound and his mother immediately gave him a deathly glare. Doudou was so scared that he quickly shrank his neck.

Finally, Xiaoxue made the decision and asked An An to bring the person home as soon as possible. She was really worried about her son's vision, and she didn't want to deal with the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.

A night passed, and Xiaoxue prepared breakfast early in the morning. Today, my younger sister came to visit with her family, so we must go to the market to buy ingredients. The earlier we go, the fresher we can pick.

After breakfast, Xiaoxue took her two sons to the market. Since they were home, their labor was free and would be wasted.

The mother and her two daughters went out to buy groceries, and Li's father and mother also went out for a walk. Only Li Tianyi and Xiao Zhao were left at home. Li Tianyi gave Xiao Zhao a day off and asked him to go out for a walk. He was not going out today anyway, so Xiao Zhao didn't need to stay by his side all the time.
