1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

The village chief said to Li Xinyan, "Xinyan, quickly take down the bamboo basket from the carriage. It contains snacks for your uncle Quanfu.

"Hey! I got it, Dad!"

Li Xinyan responded and hurriedly unloaded the things from the carriage obediently.

The village chief turned around and glared at Li Quanzhen, snorting coldly: "You keep saying you're here to see your brother, but you don't bring anything with you. You're really capable."

Li Quanzhen shrugged helplessly and said, "I can't do anything about it. You know the situation at home. I don't have anything good to give my eldest brother. Besides, my eldest brother and his wife won't mind me not bringing anything with me."

After saying that, he walked towards the yard.

But as soon as he entered the yard, Li Quanzhen regretted it. He had never been there and didn't know which house it was.

So he stopped and waited for the village chief and Li Xinyan.

The village chief naturally knew that Li Dajiang's house was in the east wing of the front yard, but Li Quanzhen had never been there, so he didn't know.

The village chief glared at him, but didn't say anything unpleasant and just walked in.

After passing through the hanging flower gate and arriving at the front yard, they saw the old lady sitting in the yard picking vegetables, and the old man sitting leisurely on a chair, and the two were talking.

Although the two came to Beijing, they still did not change their previous habits. They got up early every day to prepare breakfast for the whole family.

At this moment, the village chief and his men came in but did not attract the attention of the two old men.

The village chief saw his long-lost cousin and his wife and greeted them cheerfully: "Cousin, you got up early!"

When the two old men looked up, they saw the village chief and his men, and immediately their faces lit up with joy.

Grandpa Li stood up and greeted them, smiling and saying, "All the party, Xinyan, why are you here? Come on, come in and sit down."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you. Here are some gifts for you, please accept them!"

"Come on, what are you bringing? We don't need anything here!"

Grandma Li took the bamboo basket from Li Xinyan with a smile, feeling warm in her heart.

"It's not a good thing. It's the wild boar that Dajiang and his friends hunted two days ago. They left in a hurry that day and didn't take anything with them. I asked the villagers to braise the pig's head and stomach for my cousin to eat as a snack!"

Grandpa Li smiled happily when he heard this: "Haha... OK, you still think of me!"

The two old men walked towards them and only then did they see Li Quanzhen behind them.

Li Quanzhen stepped forward at this time and greeted awkwardly: "Brother, sister-in-law."

When Grandpa Li saw his disappointing younger brother, he immediately became a little more alert.

I thought, “Why is he coming here?”

When Grandma Li saw Li Quanzhen, her expression changed, but since it was a rare visit from him, she couldn't just keep a cold face and had to welcome him in.

When everyone in the Li family heard the noise, they all got up, and were surprised to see the village chief and his men coming over.

A burst of noisy noise suddenly came, breaking the tranquility of the Li family.

Everyone in the Li family woke up from their sleep, rubbing their sleepy eyes, their hearts full of confusion.

They hurriedly got up and walked out of the house, only to find that the village chief and his men were sitting in the main room.

Li Dajiang saw the village chief and Li Xinyan and happily stepped forward to greet them: "Uncle village chief, Xinyan, why are you here so early?"

"Brother Dajiang, aren't you sending my brother and his friends here to start work? My dad left early in the morning in fear of delaying their work!"

"Ouch! It's all my fault. I should have told them not to worry!"

Li Dajiang had a look of self-blame on his face. They came early and the factory would not open in advance. He could imagine the scene of Li Dahu and the other man waiting at the gate of the steel mill.

"Dahe, when you finish washing up, go to the gate of the steel mill and call Dahu and the other two back. Have you forgotten that Section Chief Liu doesn't go to work before nine o'clock every day?"

Li Dahe responded from outside: "Got it, big brother, I'll go right away!"

"You don't start work until nine?"

The village chief was a little confused. Do people have to go to work and leave work at the same time?

Why is Section Chief Liu different?

"Uncle Village Chief, this purchasing department is different from other departments. As long as the task is completed, no one will care about working hours."

"Oh, I've really learned a lot this time!"

This was the first time the village chief heard such a statement and he felt it was very new.

"You will understand after a while. The Purchasing Department may seem free, but it is not easy at all. If you complete the task, everything will be fine. If you fail to complete the task, even the gods will be of no use. Dahe is an example!"

When he got in the mood, Grandpa Li also joined in with a few complaints.

"My father is right. This is indeed the case with the current buyers. But don't worry, Uncle Village Chief. Both Xinchuang and Dahu can hunt. There will be no problem in completing the monthly tasks!"

Li Dajiang echoed.

After he said this, he keenly felt a pair of eyes looking at him.

When he turned around and saw who was coming, he was stunned at first, then said awkwardly: "Second Uncle, you are here too!"

It wasn't that Li Dajiang ignored him on purpose, but he was standing quietly in the corner and he really didn't see anything.

"Well, I haven't seen you guys come over for a while!"

As soon as he entered the house, Li Quanzhen's entire attention was focused on these rooms.

He kept looking around. The place where people in the city lived was cleaner than in the village.

As for what Li Dajiang said to the village chief, he only listened carefully when Li Dajiang introduced the work of the purchasing department.

According to Li Dajiang's statement, his son Li Dahu did not lie yesterday.

When Li Dajiang saw Li Quanzhen, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

He knew very well that his second uncle would not do anything without profit, and his visit to the city this time must be more than just to see his parents.

Li Weiguo had the same feeling when he saw his second grandfather.

Although he was extremely reluctant to deal with his second grandfather, out of courtesy he still greeted him politely and then took his younger brothers and sisters to wash up.

After washing up, Li Weiguo knew that the village chief and his companions had come by donkey cart, so he took the initiative to go outside to look at the donkey cart.

To be honest, he really didn't want to be in the same room with his second grandfather.

He really couldn't stand what his second grandfather did to Uncle Dahu.

Li Weimin keenly noticed that his eldest brother went outside to look after the donkey cart, so he took his younger brothers and sisters out with him.

My younger sister Li Weihong was so excited when she saw the donkey cart that she kept clamoring to ride on it.

Li Weiguo looked at her expectant eyes and smiled as he fulfilled her small request.

Li Weihong climbed onto the donkey cart happily, and Li Weiguo and his brothers watched her play from the side.

"Weimin, do you want to eat big buns?" Li Weiguo asked with a smile.

Li Weimin's eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously and said, "I want to!"

Li Weiguo looked at Li Weimin, smiled mysteriously and said, "Look after Weihong. I'm going to go out for a while. I'll buy you some meat buns later."

Li Weimin and his brothers responded in unison: "Brother, go ahead. We will definitely take good care of the donkey cart."

Li Weiguo returned to the yard and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, it's a rare visit from the village chief. I'll go buy some buns."

Seeing her grandson's joy, Grandma Li understood his thoughts and nodded, saying, "Okay, then buy more. Do you have any money left?"

"And what else, grandma, I'm going out!"

Li Weiguo responded and rode his bicycle out of Nanluoguxiang.

He walked around in circles and came to a remote place, and took out more than thirty steaming meat buns from the space.
