1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

"What good news!" The whole family turned their heads and looked at Li Weiguo in surprise.

"Well... I'll keep it a secret for now. When the day comes, I'll come pick you up..."

"You kid, hehe..."

After lunch, when Chen Suzhi went to work, Li Weiguo followed her out of Li Dahu's house.

Before leaving, Li Weiguo still worriedly told Li Dahu, "Uncle Dahu, finish taking the medicine before going to work. Exercise more and get some sun every day..."

"Got it. You're so nagging. Take good care of your grandparents for me. By the way, will you really come to pick us up in a few days?"

Li Dahu sent Li Weiguo out of the yard and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, but Uncle Dahu, you must take your medicine well and give my grandparents a surprise when the time comes..."

Li Dahu seemed to be able to imagine such a scene at this moment. He couldn't help but smile and patted his chest to assure: "Weiguo, don't worry! I will work hard in the next two days..."

Li Weiguo was so happy when he saw Uncle Dahu regain his vitality.

I gave the system a big thumbs up in my mind.

"Tongtong, you are awesome!"

【(⊙o⊙)…】

【o(*￣▽￣*)ブ】

Li Weiguo rode his bicycle out of the village and headed south towards Sijiu City, humming a song.

"We ordinary people! We are happy today..."

"Today is a good day..."

When he was almost at the city gate, he did the same as usual, finding a deserted place and taking his things out.

Fifty kilograms of special multi-grain noodles produced in the space, two roast ducks (mainly because there are too many rewards from the recent lottery), a white-striped chicken, ten kilograms of beans, and five kilograms of cucumbers.

I filled the big sack with food, tied it to the back seat of my bicycle, and headed straight home.

As soon as he entered the alley, the old men and women on the street saw Li Weiguo and surrounded him.

"Hey! Where is Weiguo doing, carrying these old things?"

"Auntie Wang, I went back to my hometown and brought some vegetables grown by my aunts and sisters in the yard for my grandma!"

Li Weiguo had already thought of this excuse, and he even placed the beans on top, leaving a little gap.

"Look, the villagers are the ones who enjoy the good life. Whatever they grow at home, they can't even afford to eat it all..."

"It's true. These days, a piece of land is a treasure. You can grow some vegetables instead of digging wild vegetables every day!"

Li Weiguo did not stop and continued walking home, receiving many envious looks.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw my grandmother sitting at the door doing work. My sister Li Weihong sat on a small stool, watching my grandmother work quietly.

While working, grandma told her a story: "The big bad wolf... ate the little white rabbit in one bite..."

"Wow! The big bad wolf is so scary..."

When my sister heard this, her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands. She looked so adorable.

"Grandma, Honghong, I'm back!"

Li Weiguo propped up the bicycle and placed it steadily, and his grandmother and sister came over.

"Why are you back at this time? Have you eaten?"

"Grandma has eaten. She ate at Uncle Dahu's house. I sent some food to his house and brought the rest back!"

Li Weiguo's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. After listening, Grandma Li smiled and nodded: "Okay, is your uncle Dahu's illness better?"

While unloading the sacks, Li Weiguo told Li Dahu about his condition with a smile.

"Uncle Dahu is much better. He doesn't cough when he talks today..."

After hearing this, Grandma Li clasped her hands together and whispered, "That's great! God bless you and may Dahu get better soon!"

"Brother, beans..."

Li Weihong took out a young bean from the seam of the sack and said with a smile: "This is a bean!"

When Grandma Li saw the beans in Li Weihong's hand, her eyes lit up as well: "Weiguo, where did these beans come from?"

"We collected them from the village. They were grown in people's yards!" Li Weiguo whispered in Grandma Li's ear.

"Okay, okay, there are so many beans. If we can't finish them, we can dry some and stew them in winter!"

After saying that, Grandma Li untied the rope, took out a handful of beans from the sack, and smiled so hard that she couldn't stop.

Suddenly, Grandma Li paused, as if she remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I'll send some to your Aunt Lanxiang later. Your Aunt Lanxiang is pregnant!"

"Really!" When Li Weiguo heard the news, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

I thought to myself, this idiot Zhu works so hard every day, it’s normal for Aunt Lanxiang to get pregnant.

"Don't shout. Your uncle Zhuzi doesn't know! Your aunt Lanxiang told me secretly today!"

"That's great. I want to be the one to announce the good news..."

The two grandmothers were talking in a low voice when Yan Bugui from opposite side came out of the house.

He pretended to have just seen Li Weiguo, and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey! Weiguo just came back!"

Li Weiguo immediately stopped smiling and responded, "Yeah, I just came back from my hometown!"

I thought I had made a mistake today and was being targeted by Old Man Yan.

Yan Bugui immediately grasped the key point of Li Weiguo's words: "You are back home. You must have brought these beans back from home! Look how juicy they are. They must have been freshly picked! So fresh!"

"Well, it's grown in the yard of an aunt in the village. Uncle San doesn't mind taking some home to eat!"

Li Weiguo was not pretending to be generous, it was just that Yan Bugui's eyes were too obvious.

The way Yan Bugui stared at the sack reminded Li Weiguo of a saying: "Once you see it in your eyes, you can't pull it out!"

At this moment, using this sentence to describe it is really vivid.

"No, why would I despise it? Thank you so much! Auntie, just give me a handful if you think you can!"

Grandma Li knew that Yan Bugui was a person who would take advantage of others, so she had always been on guard against him.

She hadn't expected that after she spoke a few more words to her eldest grandson at the door today, Yan Bugui would seize the opportunity.

However, because Grandma Li always sits at the door of her house, Yan Bugui has restrained himself a lot recently.

Yan Bugui rarely stands at the gate, waiting for something to happen.

Seeing that there was indeed a lot of food in the sack, Grandma Li was generous for once and said to Yan Bugui with a smile:

"One handful is not enough! It should be enough for a meal at least! Go home and get something, and I'll decorate it for you."

When Yan Bugui heard about this good thing, he immediately said the auspicious words in his mouth: "Hey, Aunt Li, aren't you a living Bodhisattva? Mother of the child, quickly bring a basin over!"

"Hey, hey! Coming right up..."

In fact, when Yan Bugui came out, the third aunt was standing behind the door. She was just waiting for this opportunity.

Not long after, the third aunt really came out with a basin.

It’s that basin. It doesn’t look like a basin for washing vegetables at all.

Grandma Li looked at the basin and burst out laughing: "Yan's, this basin is for washing clothes in your family, right? Why is it used for vegetables today?"

"That...that..."

The third aunt hesitated and was very embarrassed. After hearing what her husband said just now, she thought of finding a bigger basin, thinking that people would give her more.

She didn't expect that her thoughts would be exposed by Aunt Li as soon as she came up. At this moment, she was so embarrassed that her face turned red.

"Hey! What a coincidence! I have the vegetable basin at home today. Aunt Li, please use this basin!"

Yan Bugui didn't feel embarrassed at all. He even praised his wife in his heart. She was worthy of being Yan Bugui's wife. She understood him.
