Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Li Tianyi returned home. Xiaoxue and Li's mother were cooking dinner, while Li's father was playing in the yard with the children. The air in the port city was much more humid and fresh than that in the old city, which made Li's father, who had lived in the old city all his life, feel very comfortable.

Seeing Li Tianyi coming back, Li's father asked Li Tianyi whether everything went well today. Li Tianyi did not elaborate, but just said that everything had been dealt with and he would go to visit his uncle tomorrow.

Father Li was interested now. He hadn't seen his eldest brother for several years. Now that he had finally come to Hong Kong City, he should go and visit his eldest brother.

"Tianyi, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Li Tianyi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take the two children with me when the time comes, so they can see the world."

Father Li nodded in agreement. At this time, Mother Li called them to eat in the house. At the dinner table, Father Li and Mother Li talked about tomorrow's schedule. Mother Li did not object, but she was a little reluctant to let her stay at home for a day tomorrow.

Li Tianyi thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll have the driver drop Mom and Xiaoxue off at a shopping mall. You guys go shopping first, and after Dad and I visit Uncle, we'll pick you up."

"But how will you find us then?" Xiaoxue asked worriedly.

"Let's agree on a time. We'll wait for you at the bottom of the mall at 4pm. If you finish shopping earlier, you can also wait for us at the place where you get off the bus."

Mother Li and Xiaoxue looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They really didn't want to stay at home anymore and decided to go shopping tomorrow.

They had heard before that Hong Kong was a shopping paradise. Their old sisters had boasted about how complete the goods were in Hong Kong and how many things were cheaper than in the mainland. Now that they were in Hong Kong, they insisted on experiencing it.

Nothing happened that night. After breakfast in the morning, Li Tianyi and his friends set off. Since everyone had to go out, they drove two cars. This time, Xiao Wang was still responsible for the safety of Li's mother and others, and this time Li's mother and Xiaoxue rode directly in Xiao Wang's car.

Just like that, Li Tianyi and his group's car was in front, and Xiao Wang's car followed behind. Two hours later, everyone arrived near Li Huaide's company. Li's mother and Xiaoxue and others went to a nearby shopping mall, while Li Tianyi took people to the building of Li Huaide's company.

When they arrived at the front desk, the girl stopped them and asked if they had an appointment.

Li Tianyi said that he was Li Huaide's nephew and asked the girl at the front desk to call the president's office to inform him.

The girl at the front desk was unsure, but she didn't want to offend Li Tianyi. She knew at first glance that Li Tianyi and his gang were not good people.

After the girl at the front desk called the secretariat of the President's Office, the secretary was also unsure about the matter and could only ask Li Huaide for instructions.

When Li Huaide heard that his nephew Li Tianyi had arrived, he immediately came down from the president's office with his secretary.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Li's father and Li Tianyi standing at the front desk. Li Huaide walked forward excitedly and held Li's father's hand, while Li Tianyi next to him also called him "Uncle" at the right time.

Li Huaide said excitedly: "Second brother, why didn't you and Tianyi inform me in advance? I could have picked you up!"

"Brother, Tianyi has already arranged everything, why bother you?"

"Okay, let's go upstairs and talk." Then he led Li Tianyi and the others into the elevator.

The elevator went all the way to the floor where the president's office was located. After getting out of the elevator, everyone came to Li Huaide's office. After everyone sat down, Li Huaide asked, "Tianyi, why did you come to Gangcheng? Did the country trust you to come out?"

Li Tianyi waved his hand. "It's okay. I came to Hong Kong City for vacation and to deal with some company matters. I met with Lou Xiao'e yesterday. Isn't it time to visit my uncle today?"

Li Huaide nodded at Li Tianyi and said, "You are really amazing. If your cousin had half of your ability, I would wake up laughing even when I am asleep."

"Uncle, don't say that. Sometimes peace is a blessing."

"By the way, uncle, my cousin and his family are also in Hong Kong, right?"

"No, it's just your cousin's kid who came. This time it's about the child's schooling. Isn't it said that the education in Hong Kong is better than that in the mainland? So he sent the child here to go to school."

Li Tian nodded slightly. It was true that the education problems in the country were becoming more and more prominent. The exam-oriented education, just like the eight-legged essay in the Ming and Qing dynasties, had closed the children's minds. Unless they were truly genius children, otherwise, with this kind of education method, what they would produce would be robots.

Thinking of this, Li Tianyi also thought about sending his two grandsons to Gangcheng to go to school, but this matter still needs long-term consideration. Given his status, he cannot do whatever he wants.

After sitting with Li Huaide for a while, Li Tianyi and the others said goodbye and left. After all, they couldn't delay Li Huaide's work.

When they left, they agreed to gather at Li Huaide's place in the evening, where Li Huaide would welcome them.

Coming out of the building, at this time, it was estimated that Li's mother and Xiaoxue were shopping happily. It was impossible for them to fall into a trap, so Li Tianyi suggested going to eat Hong Kong's famous food. Li's father didn't care, but the two children cheered.

So the driver took them to visit all the nearby snack shops, and they didn't even have lunch, but just bought snacks.

The time agreed upon with Li's mother and others soon approached. Li Tianyi and his friends arrived at the agreed place, where Li's mother and others were already waiting.

Li Tianyi talked with Li's mother about the arrangements for a while, and Xiaoxue took out the gifts she bought for them today. This time, Xiaoxue saw the first generation of mobile phones bought in the mall, which was the type of PHS. Although it was very expensive, it was very convenient to get in touch.

So Xiaoxue bought one for Li Tianyi, Li's father and herself. She originally wanted to buy one for Li's mother as well, but Li's mother refused. She usually spends time with Li's father, and since Li's father already has one, she didn't spend the money.

Li Tianyi looked at the thing in his hand and sighed that time passed so quickly. This kind of machine has only just appeared in China and is basically in short supply. Many bosses are still using bulky mobile phones, and the domestic network coverage is low, so the call charges are not cheap. When they return to the mainland, they will still need to apply for a domestic card.

After meeting up with Li Huaide, they came to a big hotel. Li Huaide had asked his secretary to book a private room, where Li Huaide's grandson was already waiting.

Everyone seemed very familiar with each other. When they were in China, during the Chinese New Year, my cousin and his son would go to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Li, so tonight would be a family dinner.
