1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

When Grandpa Li and Grandma Li found out about what those people in the courtyard had done, they became furious.

Only now did they realize how city people bully others!

Grandma Li's never-give-up spirit suddenly came up. She thought to herself that her family members had been wronged outside, and as a mother, she had to stand up for her children.

So she quickly packed up her things, took her three children, and Li Dahe's wife Wang Dahua and followed Li Dahe, and set off for Sijiu City.

In the courtyard, Li Weiguo was sweating profusely as he helped Li Dajiang clean up the back house which had not been occupied for a long time.

The earthen kang in the house was covered with thick dust, as if silently telling the vicissitudes of time.

Li Weiguo was cleaning diligently, and every movement was done with a hint of urgency, but he was always thinking about the important appointment he had made with Wang Dafa outside the cotton mill.

Finally, the back house was tidied up and looked somewhat presentable. He said hello hurriedly to Li Dajiang, got on his bicycle, and rode towards the cotton mill like the wind.

When he arrived near the cotton mill, he saw Wang Dafa pacing back and forth anxiously, his face full of expectation and anxiety, his brows furrowed and his lips tightly pursed.

As soon as Wang Dafa saw Li Weiguo riding a bicycle, his eyes lit up instantly. He took two steps at a time and walked towards him with a big smile on his face. He narrowed his eyes and said eagerly, "Nephew, you are finally here! I have been waiting for you for so long. Where is the wild boar you mentioned?"

As he spoke, his eyes kept searching Li Weiguo and the bicycle.

Li Weiguo braked his bicycle slowly, supported himself with his feet, and looked at Wang Dafa calmly and with a hint of scrutiny.

He said slowly, "Uncle Wang, the wild boar is easy to get. I'll get it for you later. But let's not worry about the wild boar yet. Let's talk about the quota first. Once we've reached an agreement, the wild boar will be given to you."

The corners of Li Weiguo's mouth rose slightly, with a bit of certainty.

When Wang Dafa heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly, then it widened again. He blinked and moved closer to Li Weiguo.

Then, he whispered, "Okay, nephew, I tried my best to persuade my uncle yesterday, and my uncle went to the factory director to persuade him for a long time, and the director finally agreed to give me a quota for a formal employee.

However, you know the situation in our factory, so only female workers can come.

I have mentioned this to you before, you should be aware of it."

As he spoke, Wang Dafa's eyes flickered with a hint of shrewdness.

Li Weiguo's expression did not change, he just nodded slightly, but he was calculating quickly in his mind.

He can't just take out his things easily. Nowadays, whoever has things is powerful!

Wang Dafa was secretly anxious when he saw Li Weiguo's unmoved look.

His eyes quickly rolled, and he carefully took out the certificate from his pocket, waving it in front of Li Weiguo as if he was holding a treasure. The muscles on his face seemed a little stiff because of his flattery. He said, "Look, nephew, this is a real official employee indicator. I didn't lie to you."

Li Weiguo took the letter of certification and examined it carefully with a focused and sharp gaze. After confirming that it was correct, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

But he still didn't give in, and said, "Uncle Wang, you need to let me think about this matter again."

Wang Dafa cursed the boy in his heart for being cunning, but he still smiled, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Nephew, what are you worried about? When have I, Wang Dafa, ever lied to you?"

Li Weiguo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, and looked at Wang Dafa firmly, saying: "Uncle Wang, it's not that I don't trust you, but this matter is of great importance, so I have to be more careful."

Wang Dafa gritted his teeth, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and said: "Okay, nephew, then what do you want me to do in order for you to trust me?"

Li Weiguo pondered for a moment, then said: "Uncle Wang, as long as you can guarantee that there is no problem with this indicator, I will bring people here to start work. I will go get you a wild boar now."

When Wang Dafa heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, nephew, I promise there will be no problem. You can bring people here anytime and they can start working. Go and lead the wild boar! I'll wait here."

Seeing that he was not lying, Li Weiguo rode away on his bicycle. Wang Dafa looked at his back, secretly happy in his heart, and waited there, rubbing his hands excitedly.

Li Weiguo rode along the road until he came to a remote and deserted corner and then stopped.

He looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one around, he took out a wild boar weighing more than 200 pounds from the storage space, put it on his bicycle, and pushed it back.

Along the way, his mind was still on the previous indicators, thinking that he had finally gotten the job done and Second Aunt had a job!

Li Weimin and Li Weihua went fishing at Shichahai. Today, their elder brother didn't accompany them, and they were lucky that they didn't have the invincible fishing rod.

So, at noon, the two returned empty-handed.

When Li Weiguo came back, he saw two people sitting in the main room with their heads down.

Li Dajiang was cooking in the kitchen. Li Weiguo saw that his two younger brothers were not in high spirits, so he guessed that the harvest this morning must be not good.

So he walked up to them with a smile and comforted them: "Wei Min, fishing is not like farming. You can't just sow seeds and they will sprout. Fishing also depends on luck.

Look at the uncle next door, he is just like you, when he is lucky he catches two fish, but when he is unlucky he comes back empty-handed!"

Li Weimin raised his head and looked at his elder brother, pouting and saying dejectedly: "Brother, I know!"

"Okay, both of you go wash your hands. Don't go fishing this afternoon. Just rest at home for a while!"

At this time, Li Dajiang came out with food and said seriously.

He was worried about his two sons going out fishing, so it was just right that they didn’t go out!

"Oh! I know, Dad!"

Today, Yi Zhonghai was in the factory, doing his work mechanically, but his mind was not on it at all.

His heart was in suspense and he was secretly anxious. He glanced in the direction of the radio from time to time, hoping to hear the news of Li Dahe's injury on the factory radio.

However, as time passed, he waited and waited, but the expected news did not come.

Until the bell for the end of get off work rang sharply, Yi Zhonghai's brows were furrowed into a deep "川" shape, and his face was so gloomy with anger and unwillingness that water seemed to drip out of it.

Jia Dongxu followed beside him, feeling puzzled.

Ever since I borrowed one thousand yuan from my master, his face has often been gloomy. I don’t know who has offended him.

However, he did not dare to ask the reason. He just lowered his head and followed his master silently, not daring to make a sound, as he walked towards the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was bustling with people, but Yi Zhonghai had no appetite. He ate a few mouthfuls of food at random, and the food tasted like chewing wax in his mouth.

Jia Dongxu sat aside, cautiously looking up at his master, feeling very nervous, unable to guess what his master was worried about.

After lunch, Yi Zhonghai got up and left without saying a word, leaving Jia Dongxu looking at his back, full of doubts but not knowing where to start.
