1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Dajiang and Li Dahe worked together and quickly unloaded the donkey cart.

They used a bench to support the donkey cart and tied the donkey to the tap.

Li Dahe said helplessly: "We don't have fodder at home, but we can only let this little donkey suffer. There is no night grass tonight."

"It's okay, Brother Dahe. It won't be noticeable if you skip a meal!" Li Xinchuang comforted Li Dahe.

Afterwards, Li Dajiang brought Li Xinchuang and Li Dahu to the west wing.

The beds in the room had already been made, and Li Dajiang took out a quilt from the closet and handed it to them.

Looking at the brand new quilt, both of them were embarrassed to cover themselves with it.

They quickly waved their hands to refuse: "Brother Dajiang, we can just make do with each other and get through it. The weather is not cold yet, so just cover yourself with a sheet."

Seeing that they really didn't want to cover themselves with a blanket, Li Dajiang took a sheet from the opposite room and let them cover themselves with it.

After arranging them, Li Dajiang and his son and Li Dahe asked them to lock the door and then returned to the courtyard.

After Li Dajiang and others left, Li Dahu told Li Xinchuang the origin of this courtyard.

"Xinchuang, you don't know, this small courtyard was not easy to come by. I heard from my uncle..." The two of them gradually fell asleep while talking in low voices.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning had just fallen on the land of Sijiu City, covering the entire city with a faint golden glow.

Li Dajiang was worried about the wild boar meat and did not sleep well. He woke up at daybreak.

He couldn't sleep because something was on his mind, so he simply got up, washed up, and prepared to go to the courtyard to find Li Dahu and the other man.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li are old and sleep less, so they get up early to cook in the kitchen.

When Grandpa Li saw Li Dajiang get up, he asked about yesterday's harvest.

When he learned that Li Dajiang and his companions had killed six wild boars yesterday, Grandpa Li's face immediately broke into a joyful smile.

"Good, you killed so many wild boars at once. Guifang's job is secure this time!" Grandpa Li said with a happy face.

Grandma Li came out of the kitchen when she heard the noise. Her eyes were full of pride. "Go and call Dahu and Xinchuang over. Breakfast will be ready soon!"

"Yes, let them eat breakfast quickly so that they can go and exchange food. Dajiang and I will go over and take a look!"

After saying that, Grandpa Li couldn't wait to follow Li Dajiang towards the courtyard.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Grandpa Li gently pushed the gate, and the wooden door of the courtyard made a slight "creaking" sound.

The door had indeed been opened from the inside, which meant that Li Dahu and Li Xinchuang had already gotten up.

They walked into the courtyard and a busy scene came into view.

Li Dahu was bending over, carefully sorting the wild boar meat on the cart.

His movements were skillful and neat, and each piece of meat was placed neatly by him.

After a night, the wild boar meat on the surface was a little dried out.

But because the village chief had been prepared and covered the wild boar meat with a piece of cloth, the drying was not too serious.

Li Xinchuang was giving water to the little donkey.

The tap in the yard was running water, and the little donkey was drinking happily, wagging its tail from time to time.

Li Xinchuang had a gentle smile on his face. He gently stroked the little donkey's head, as if he was communicating something with it.

There is running water in the courtyard, which is very convenient to use.

The two heard footsteps, looked up, saw Grandpa Li and the others coming in, and hurried forward to greet them.

"Uncle, you're up so early!"

Li Dahu put down the meat in his hand, walked over quickly, with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Quanfu!"

Li Xinchuang also hurried over and called out to people politely.

"Good good..."

Grandpa Li looked at them with a smile, his eyes full of love: "You two got up pretty early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Li Dahu smiled and said, "Uncle, I dare not sleep any longer. After finishing my work today, I have to hurry back to Lijia Village. The village chief uncle is still waiting."

There was a hint of eagerness in his smile, as if he couldn't wait to complete the task. Cun Zhang entrusted this matter to them because he trusted them, and they must complete the task well.

Li Xinchuang also nodded and agreed, "Yes, Uncle Quanfu. We have to send this wild boar meat to the steel mill as soon as possible. We can't delay it."

His eyes were firm and persistent, showing his seriousness about this mission.

Grandpa Li nodded and said appreciatively, "Yes, yes, you two are both very promising."

He looked at the two energetic young people in front of him and felt very pleased.

Then, Grandpa Li turned to Li Dajiang and said, "Dajiang, take them to eat first. I'll stay here. After dinner, go to the steel mill to do some work. Don't be late."

Li Dajiang responded respectfully: "Okay, Dad."

Li Dajiang brought Li Dahu and Li Xinchuang to the courtyard.

At this time, Grandma Li had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, preparing a hearty breakfast for them.

On the table in the main room, there was thick rice porridge. The white porridge exuded a fragrant aroma.

A dish of pickles, a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of scrambled eggs, and freshly-cooked multi-grain steamed buns were Grandma Li’s special treatment for her two nephews.

"Come on, kids, wash your hands and eat quickly."

Grandma Li greeted them warmly.

She had a kind smile on her face and her eyes were full of love.

"Hey! Thank you for your hard work, auntie!"

The three of them didn't hesitate, as they still had a mission to complete, so they quickly sat down and started eating.

Li Dahu picked up a multi-grain steamed bun, took a big bite, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "This steamed bun is really delicious. My aunt's cooking skills are really good."

Li Xinchuang also picked up some potato shreds and put them in his mouth to taste them carefully: "Well, these potato shreds are fried really well, so fragrant!"

"Da Hu, Xin Chuang, you guys eat eggs. Your kids at home don't need to be stingy!"

Seeing that they only ate pickles and shredded potatoes and no scrambled eggs, Grandma Li picked up the plate and gave a large piece to the two of them.

"Aunt, let's do it ourselves!"

While eating, they talked about today's tasks.

Li Dajiang said, "When we get to the steel mill, please park your car further away. I'm going to talk to Deputy Director Li. Pork is in short supply now, so we need to get a good price!"

Li Dahu nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, Brother Dajiang! We'll park the car far away. If you don't speak, we won't go over."

Li Xinchuang also agreed and said, "Yes, let's do it this way."

At this time, Li Dahe got up and saw everyone eating. He quickly washed up and sat over.

"Brother, why didn't you wake me up? If I were any later, I'm afraid you guys would have left!"

"We are just going to deliver wild boar meat to the factory. Just a few of us are enough. It's okay for you to get some more sleep!" Li Dajiang said nonchalantly.

"How can that be? Da Hu and the other two are already up, but I'm the only one sleeping in. No, you guys have to wait for me..."

After saying this, Li Dahe picked up a multi-grain steamed bun and started eating it, fearing that Li Dajiang and the others would leave early.

Grandma Li quickly served him a bowl of rice porridge and reminded him: "Eat slowly, your brother and the others are not leaving!"

His Daha is still as impatient as he was when he was a child, he hasn't changed at all!
