Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

After the New Year, other families can relax, but the Li family starts to get busy again.

The wedding date of Li Tianyi and Wang Xue is approaching soon, and the Li family begins to prepare various things. Li Huaide and his wife also come to the Li family to help.

Time soon came to the wedding day. The night before, Li Huaide borrowed a jeep from his father-in-law and parked it in front of the courtyard.

Early this morning, Li Tianyi called Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng and went to Grandpa Shen's house with him.

The first time they entered the military compound, the three of them realized that the identity of Li Tianyi's girlfriend was not simple. After picking up the bride, they drove back to the courtyard. From a distance, they saw the car picking up the bride coming back, so Xu Damao arranged for people to start setting off firecrackers.

Today, the Li family held a banquet in the yard. In addition to inviting nearby neighbors, leaders of the factory, the secretary of Li Huaide's father-in-law, and the secretary of the big leader were all there.

Li Tianyi thanked them for coming today. Li Huaide invited them to take a seat, but they all declined, saying that they had to go back and report to the leader.

Everyone in the courtyard then realized that the Li family or Li Tianyi had such a wide network of contacts, as there were several cars today.

This time, the Li family's banquet was quite standard and nothing special. Because Sha Zhu's hand was injured, Li Tianyi hired a chef from outside to cook.

The lively day passed. No matter what outsiders thought, the wedding was successfully completed. The night was spent in spring and the king did not hold court early in the morning.

Li Tianyi, who had eaten meat before, did not torture Xiaoxue too much. After having a brief taste, he hugged Xiaoxue and went to sleep.

The next morning, Li Tianyi brought Xiaoxue to the courtyard. At this time, Li's mother had already gotten up to cook, and Xiaoxue also went into the kitchen to help Li's mother.

Father Li was very happy to see his eldest son who had already started a family and a career. After breakfast, Li Tianyi took Xiaoxue to the Shen family.

Time passed slowly, the New Year atmosphere became weaker and weaker, and people began to prepare for work.

Xiaoxue had already started working, and Li Tianyi, who had nothing to do at home, began to dig a cellar in the house again. He planned to take out some of the supplies in the space and put them in the open. After all, there was one more person in the family, and he could no longer use the space as he pleased.

As for whether to tell Wang Xue about the space, Li Tianyi refused. The space was his last trump card and he would not tell anyone about this.

After several days of hard work, Li Tianyi dug a space two meters deep and four meters wide under the east wing, and he released some of the grain in the space.

Of course, he also told Wang Xue about this matter. As for the grain, Li Tianyi said that he had stored it somewhere else before and was just transporting it back now.

Wang Xue could also understand her husband's behavior. Her family read newspapers, and now the newspapers are full of this and that, with yields of tens of thousands of kilograms per mu. Sometimes there are pictures, with a pumpkin bigger than a house. Anyone who thinks a little bit knows that this is not true, but no one dares to point it out.

In addition, Wang Xue works in the hospital and has contact with a wide range of people, so she can always hear some useful news. Now the drought in Xinhua Country has begun to show, especially in the north, and it is unknown whether the spring ploughing this year can be completed.

Li Tianyi had no way to deal with this matter. He could only ensure that his own family would not be affected too much and do his best to help others.

During this period, Xiaoxue also went home and told Mr. Shen about the matter. After hearing this, Mr. Shen fell silent. Although he could now talk to the higher-ups, as soon as he said anything, he would be the target of public criticism.

Didn't anyone see this situation? No, it should be said that most people knew it, but no one dared to say it.

Wang Xue's aunt also followed Wang Xue's advice. She was reluctant to bring things into the compound, but she gave money to Wang Xue and asked her to help buy things for the family and put them in Wang Xue's courtyard.

At first, Wang Xue said she would not accept the money her aunt handed to her. Finally, Grandpa Shen couldn't stand it anymore and asked Wang Xue to accept it. Only then did Wang Xue take the money.

After returning home, Wang Xue told Li Tianyi about the matter. Li Tianyi agreed that the military compound was inconvenient after all, and if Grandpa Shen's family stockpiled a large amount of supplies, it would definitely attract criticism from others.

Li Tianyi took the matter under his charge. Anyway, it was not time for him to go to work yet, so he could go out and buy things every day. He still had a lot of supplies in his space, so he wanted to take the opportunity to replace some of the supplies in the space so as to make some room in the space.

Moreover, Li Tianyi recently discovered that the Yan family also started to purchase grain. Although it was not conspicuous, Li Tianyi still found out. Years ago, when Li Tianyi was chatting with Yan Bugui, he vaguely revealed the news to him.

Yan Bugui didn't say anything at the time. Later, Li's mother found out that the Yan family stopped buying grain after a few times, but she didn't expect that it started again now.

Of course, it might be that Li Tianyi’s marriage stimulated the young people in the Siheyuan. During the New Year, many matchmakers from the surrounding areas came to the Siheyuan, except for Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu's reputation had become bad in the neighborhood, and no matchmaker was willing to introduce him to a girl. In addition to Xu Damao's contribution, Jia Zhang also played an indispensable role.

Li Tianyi heard that Liu Tianqi from the Liu family was also engaged. The girl was a city dweller and had a job. Her parents had recently been transferred to another place. The wedding date was set for April. For this reason, Liu Haizhong specially notified the people in the hospital.

Today, Liu Guangqi has joined the steel rolling mill as a clerk. At that time, Liu Haizhong told everyone that his eldest son had made great progress, and he even bought candies and distributed them door to door.

Now that Liu Guangqi is getting married soon, Liu Haizhong is naturally excited. Recently, he has been exchanging bills everywhere, hoping to buy wedding gifts for his son.

But Liu Guangqi stopped them all, saying that they would not buy it for now, but he could give them the money later and they could buy it themselves.

Liu Haizhong agreed to his son's request without much thought. In his opinion, he and his wife would live with his eldest son's family in the future, and all the property in his family belonged to his eldest son. As for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu in the family, they were just tools for Liu Haizhong to vent his anger.

That day, Li Tianyi came back from outside and happened to see Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng coming back from outside. Li Tianyi greeted them and wanted to go home, but was stopped by Yan Bugui.

"Tianyi, I want to ask if you have any bicycle tickets?"

Li Tianyi shook his head. Although he had two bicycle tickets, they were not obtained legitimately, so he did not dare to give them to Yan Bugui. "Uncle, I don't have any here either. Bicycle tickets are too hard to come by."

"Don't you have a bicycle at home? Why do you need a bicycle ticket?" Li Tianyi was very puzzled.

Yan Bugui looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he whispered: "You don't know, Yan Jiecheng recently said that he has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend's family requires a bicycle, so I want to buy one."

Li Tianyi nodded in understanding.
