1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

The night fell over the courtyard. The lights in the Li family's house were brightly lit, and warm and cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

Today, the Li family’s dining table is no longer the original small table, but a large dining table that Li Dajiang asked carpenters to rebuild.

Now, the whole family sits together, and the table is full of people.

Several children stared at the tempting roast duck on the table, drooling with greed.

Although it was not the first time for the Li family to eat roast duck, every time this delicacy appeared on the table, the children’s eyes were still full of desire.

Grandpa Li coughed lightly, and said with a kind smile on his face: "Don't just look at it, eat it quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the children couldn't wait to reach for the roast duck with their chopsticks. Their eager look made people laugh.

"Slow down, don't rush, these are two roast ducks, everyone has a share!"

Looking at the children's anxious look, Grandma Li couldn't help but smile and give them instructions.

Li Dajiang looked at the table full of sumptuous food and asked Li Weiguo curiously: "Weiguo, why are there beans and cucumbers today? Where did you get them from?"

Li Weiguo smiled and replied, "Dad, I went back to Lijia Village. I was worried about Uncle Dahu's condition, so I went to see him. On my way back, I also exchanged some vegetables from the villagers."

Upon hearing this, Li Dajiang immediately became concerned about Li Dahu's condition: "How is your uncle Dahu after taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor? Is he getting better?"

"Yes! Your father's legs have improved. How is your uncle Dahu doing after taking the medicine? Is it effective?"

Li Dahe also asked anxiously. Although the old doctor's medicine was effective for his brother, he didn't know whether it would be effective for Li Dahu's condition.

Everyone in the family also looked at Li Weiguo, with anticipation in their eyes.

Li Weiguo described it enthusiastically: "It works, it works, Uncle Dahu is much better! Not only has his complexion improved, he no longer coughs when he speaks, and he looks much more energetic.

I brought some food back to his family this time so that he can take good care of himself and recover as soon as possible."

Li Dajiang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, okay! You did the right thing.

Do you have any money on you? If you don’t have any, ask your grandma for it. Your grandma is in charge of all the money in our family.”

Li Weiguo smiled and waved his hands: "Dad, I have money. I was lucky recently and found two old items and made some money."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of money from his pocket (actually from the storage space), more than two hundred yuan, both in small and large amounts.

When Grandma Li saw the pile of money, she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits: "Oh, my eldest grandson is really capable. Not only can he get delicious food and drinks, but he also earns so much money."

Li Weiguo scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Grandma, it was just a coincidence. It's not a big deal!"

His blushing face made the whole family laugh happily.

Wang Guifang looked at her son with pride. How come her son is becoming more and more capable?

He tinkered with old stuff for a short while, but he actually earned more than 200 yuan!

Wang Dahua also smiled and joked: "Sister-in-law, Weiguo is so capable, you will be blessed in the future."

Wang Guifang smiled and responded: "Second sister-in-law, don't just envy me. Our family will live better and better, and we will all be blessed."

At this time, Li Dahe looked at the children with a loving face: "Not only Weiguo, but also Weimin and the other kids are well-behaved and sensible, and they are becoming more and more promising. When they go fishing, they are better than most people!"

When Li Weimin's nephews heard this, their faces glowed with excitement and their eyes sparkled.

It was then that Li Dajiang remembered that school was about to start and the children could not continue playing like this.

He said to Li Weimin and the others, "By the way, you guys shouldn't go fishing these days. Pay attention. I'll sign you up in a couple of days, and you'll all go to school when school starts!"

Grandma Li nodded and said, "Okay, you take care of this matter, but don't delay the children's schooling."

"Weiguo, you should all focus on your work and put aside the issue of making money. Now that our family is better off, you should all go to school!"

Li Dajiang has high expectations for his children and hopes that they all have a good future.

"Yes, Dad, I understand!" Li Weiguo nodded seriously.

Then, Grandma Li smiled and arranged for the family to eat quickly.

The family members chatted with each other and had a lively meal.

Early morning of the second day.

The adults in the Li family slept in because today was the weekend and they were not going to work.

After the family leisurely finished their breakfast, Grandma Li picked some beans and cucumbers and asked Li Weiguo to deliver them to Chen Lanxiang in the Central Courtyard.

When Li Weiguo came to the middle courtyard with the dishes, he saw Sha Zhu happily washing clothes by the sink.

Chen Lanxiang stood aside, wanting to lend a hand from time to time, but was stopped by Sha Zhu: "Lanxiang, don't do it, I can handle this little thing by myself, you go to the house and rest."

Chen Lanxiang looked at Sha Zhu with a happy smile on her face. She responded obediently but did not move a step.

At this moment, Li Weiguo stepped forward and greeted them first: "Uncle Zhuzi, Aunt Lanxiang. Are you washing clothes so early in the morning?"

When Sha Zhu looked up, he saw Li Weiguo coming over with something in his hand.

"Weiguo, I haven't seen you for a while. What have you been doing these days?"

"Uncle Zhuzi, what can I do? I'm just busying myself!"

Then he said to Chen Lanxiang, "Auntie Lanxiang, this is the food my grandma asked me to bring to you."

Chen Lanxiang took the dishes from Li Weiguo and smiled: "Wow, these dishes are so delicious. Weiguo, thank your grandma for me."

"Aunt Lanxiang, it's too formal to say this. With the relationship between our two families, there's nothing to thank me for!"

"Okay! Then I won't be polite!"

After saying that, Chen Lanxiang took the beans and cucumbers back to the house.

After Chen Lanxiang walked away, Li Weiguo smiled and leaned close to his ear and said mysteriously, "Uncle Zhuzi, I have a happy event. Do you want to know?"

When Sha Zhu heard Li Weiguo's mysterious attitude, he guessed that there was something fishy.

He asked out of curiosity, "What's the happy news? I'm too lazy to listen to other people's happy news. Could it be that your father's leg has gotten better?"

Although the matter of Li Dajiang's leg was kept secret from others, Sha Zhu knew about it because Chen Lanxiang and Grandma Li often chatted together.

Li Weiguo smiled and shook his head: "It's not this matter, guess again."

Sha Zhu thought about it and teased Li Weiguo: "What kind of happy event could there be in your family? Could it be that you are going to get married?"

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Uncle Zhuzi, please don't tease me. I'm so young and I'm getting married. It's not a happy event for my family, but a happy event for your family."

Sha Zhu stopped washing clothes and smiled brightly: "I don't know what happy events there are in my family, so don't tease me, kid."

Li Weiguo smiled mysteriously, and continued to move closer and said, "Uncle Zhuzi, it is your family's happy event, but I can't tell you about this happy event easily. It must be beneficial."
