Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

After discussing with Li Tianyi, Yan Bugui hurried home to inform Yan Jiefang, and soon Yan Jiefang came to Li Tianyi on his bicycle.

The two of them didn't waste time talking and rode their bicycles to the textile factory. When they arrived at the textile factory, it was also working hours, and workers walked into the factory gate one after another. Li Tianyi and Yan Jiefang just pushed their bicycles and waited at the gate.

After the working time, Li Tianyi led Yan Jiefang into the office of Deputy Director Zhou. He first greeted Deputy Director Zhou and then explained the purpose of his visit.

Deputy Director Zhou immediately asked someone to go to the workshop to invite the worker. Soon the worker followed the secretary to the office. After Deputy Director Zhou explained the situation to the man, he asked for his opinion. Naturally, the man had no problem with it.

Deputy Director Zhou approved half a day off for the man, and then asked him to take Yan Jiefang to handle the formalities.

Seeing that there was nothing left for him to do here, Li Tianyi offered to leave. After all, his schedule was full and he had already wasted a long time today because of Yan Jiefang's matter.

After leaving the textile factory, he went to another factory. Now most of the machines in the factories in Sijiucheng are old machines eliminated by Big Brother. When the relationship with Big Brother was good before, they had the assistance of engineers and experts from Big Brother, and the machines could be repaired if they broke down. But since Big Brother cancelled the assistance, the factory has been in trouble.

The factory’s engineers can fix some minor problems, but if they encounter major problems, they can either wait for the country to invite experts from abroad to fix them, or ask senior national engineers to fix them.

Now Li Tianyi is a level 5 engineer, which means he is a senior engineer. He can repair most machines in the country.

Therefore, Li Tianyi became basically famous in the surrounding areas of Beijing. Factories that wanted to ask him to repair machines had to line up. The steel rolling mill had no right to control him, and the leaders of the Ministry of Industry were also happy to see it, as it was much better than having to go to the ministry for everything.

The busy day passed quickly. Before Li Tianyi reached his door, he saw two people standing at the entrance of the courtyard, one was Yan Bugui and the other was Qin Huairu.

At this time, Qin Huairu was already 5 months pregnant, and her belly was already a little visible. She was standing at the door not waiting for Jia Dongxu, but for Sha Zhu to come back.

Although the quality of lunch at the steel mill has declined a lot due to material problems, it is still better than the meals at most ordinary people's homes. Therefore, Jia Zhang had long ago ordered Qin Huairu to rob Sha Zhu's lunch box at the gate every day.

I don't know what Sha Zhu was thinking. In this famine year, which factory still has leftovers? Every noon, the workers wanted the aunt who served them food to give them more or buy another portion, but the steel mill had a rule that each worker could only buy one portion of food.

But Shazhu still blatantly brought back lunch boxes every day, claiming that they were leftovers from the factory's lunch.

In other words, no one reported it. If someone had reported it, Shazhu would have been charged with fleecing socialism.

Thinking of this, Li Tianyi felt it necessary to remind his uncle. He remembered that in the original book, Sha Zhu had shouted that he brought a lunch box with the permission of Director Yang. Now that Director Yang has been promoted, should Sha Zhu tell others that he brought a lunch box with the permission of Li Huaide?

Before reaching the gate, Yan Bugui saw Li Tianyi from a distance, and immediately went to greet him, "Tianyi, thank you so much for today."

"Don't be so polite, Uncle. How is it? Has Jiefang completed the formalities?"

"It was done. The meat processing factory leader found a master for Jiefang on the spot and asked him to learn from his master. Jiefang will go to work tomorrow."

"I'm glad it went well, Third Uncle. Congratulations. The burden on you is now much lighter."

"Hahahaha." Yan Bugui laughed loudly. He was really happy. Now that his two sons were earning money, his pressure was indeed relieved.

"Tianyi, Third Uncle doesn't know how to thank you. Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on the two of you in the yard."

Li Tianyi smiled and thanked. Why did he do so much? Wasn't it just to make Father Li and the others live more comfortably in the courtyard?

Skipping this topic, Li Tianyi asked about the Jia family: "Third Uncle, what's going on with the Jia family? Has it become so blatant?"

Yan Bugui glanced at the gate, Sha Zhu smiled foolishly and handed the three lunch boxes in his hand to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu glanced at Sha Zhu with charm in her eyes, and Sha Zhu walked into the gate foolishly as if he had lost his soul.

"Alas, this Sha Zhu is hopeless." Yan Bugui felt very sorry for Sha Zhu.

"The Jia family is hungry now, and Yi Zhonghai is no longer the boss of the courtyard. No one donates to the Jia family, so Qin Huairu waits for Sha Zhu at the gate every day, and Sha Zhu, the idiot, hands the lunch box to the Jia family."

"Your sister is so hungry that she is almost as thin as a bamboo pole, but you don't care. Hey, Tianyi, you didn't see that He Yushui is so strong that a gust of wind could blow her away."

Li Tianyi also sighed, but there was nothing they could do. As the saying goes: Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. This silly Zhu understood the Jia family's plan, but he was willing to fall into this gentle land and could not extricate himself. No matter how others tried to save him, it was of no avail.

"So Jia Dongxu is just going to stand by and watch?" Li Tianyi asked Yan Bugui as he approached him.

"I don't know. Anyway, I didn't notice anything. Jia Dongxu has lost a lot of weight recently and looks listless."

The two chatted about some things in the courtyard, and then saw Li's father and mother walking towards the courtyard, so Li Tianyi said goodbye to Yan Bugui.

Two days passed like this. One evening, Li Tianyi came back from a food factory with some defective products in his car. He bought these and wanted to keep them at home so that if someone was hungry, they could be used as an emergency measure.

But before he reached his door, he saw a group of people in the distance pulling a cart towards the courtyard. The people pulling the cart were Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, Li's father and others were following the cart, and Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were sitting on the cart.

Moreover, Jia Zhang was still crying loudly, "My poor Dongxu, why did you leave like this?"

"How are you going to let us live from now on?"

Li Tianyi's heart skipped a beat, and he then remembered that in the original drama, Jia Dongxu died during this time period. However, the original drama did not mention the specific reason, only that it was a factory accident.

It seemed that something had happened to Jia Dongxu. Li Tianyi did not move forward. From where he was standing, Yi Zhonghai and the others could not see him. Li Tianyi wanted to go home and ask his father why Jia Dongxu died.

After a group of people entered the courtyard, the surrounding neighbors immediately surrounded the entrance of the courtyard, and Li Tianyi also rode his bike back to his home.

At this time, Li's mother was already cooking dinner, and Xiaoxue was watching her son walk. Ever since the boy came back to walk, he didn't want to be held and always wanted to run in the yard.

If you're not careful, he'll disappear.
