1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

"Mom, I will be good and obedient!" After saying that, Banggeng put on his clothes by himself.

Because he knew that things were different now. His grandmother was not at home and no one would spoil him, so he had to be obedient.

Now it is not like before. As soon as he wakes up, his grandmother, Jia Zhang, would run over, help him dress in a soft voice, and praise him for growing taller and fatter.

Although Jia Zhang was selfish, aggressive and unreasonable, she was particularly fond of her eldest grandson Banggeng. Everything was centered around him, and she spoiled him as much as she could.

Because of this, Banggeng developed the same selfish character as Jia Zhang.

But now Jia Zhang has been sent to the Northwest for reform. Without Jia Zhang's support, Banggeng has become cautious these days.

He knows how to avoid angering adults and how to gain more benefits for himself.

So Banggeng put on his clothes by himself.

Although his movements were still a little clumsy, he did not cry or ask Qin Huairu for help.

Qin Huairu watched Banggeng's changes from the side, feeling deeply moved.

She felt both relieved and sad to see her son become sensible.

The good news is that Bang Geng seems to have grown up in just a few days, which at least makes her less worried.

What’s heartbreaking is the situation at home. The children have to be so cautious just to have a full meal.

Banggeng put on his clothes by himself and went out to wash up without Qin Huairu's care.

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng's back, then turned to look at Xiaodang who was still sleeping.

Her eyes were full of love and worry. For the sake of these two children, she felt that she could not give up.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu frowned slightly.

It is still at least half a month before Jia Dongxu gets his salary, and how he will survive in the next half month is still a problem.

Qin Huairu began to think about whether she should go back to her parents' home early.

She heard that the villagers no longer had communal meals, and that as long as they earned work points, they could get food.

Having lived in the village for so many years, she knew that no matter how sad the situation was in the village, it would not be as sad as that of the Jia family.

She felt that it would not be a problem for her to borrow some food from her mother's home.

Qin Huairu bit her lip, her eyes gradually became firm, and she secretly made up her mind: no matter what, she would find a chance to go back to her parents' home.

After Li Weiguo got up, he called his two uncles to go to the courtyard to eat together.

After breakfast, Li Weiguo told Grandma Li about Sha Zhu coming to him early in the morning to buy food.

"Grandma, Uncle Zhuzi came to see me early this morning. The He family is running out of food, and Uncle Zhuzi wants me to buy some for him."

When Grandma Li heard this, a look of worry immediately appeared on her face. She stood up and was about to get some food to send to the He family.

"Lanxiang is still in confinement after childbirth. How can she survive without enough food? We still have some food. Let's send some to them right away."

Li Weiguo quickly stopped grandma and said softly, "Grandma, since I have already promised Uncle Zhuzi that I will go to buy food for him, don't worry. Besides, Uncle Zhuzi has already given the money, so it's okay to give the food tomorrow. The main thing is that we have to keep a low profile and don't let others get suspicious."

Li Weiguo's tone was steady, and his eyes revealed a hint of caution.

The situation outside is so serious now. If he can take out food easily, it will definitely attract other people's attention. He doesn't want to expose the fact that he has a cheat.

Grandma Li stopped and thought carefully, and felt that what Li Weiguo said made sense.

"That's right. With you going out to buy food from time to time, we do have enough to eat, but we can't make a big fuss about it. These days, no one has enough food, and if we are the only one that has food, it will definitely attract other people's attention, which is not good. We'd better keep a low profile."

Grandma Li nodded slightly, and the worry on her face eased a little.

Li Weiguo saw that his grandmother no longer talked about sending food to the He family, and continued to comfort her, saying, "Grandma, with Uncle Zhuzi's personality, he will definitely not wait until there is no food left at home before he speaks. He must have prepared some food in advance, so we don't have to worry too much."

After hearing what Li Weiguo said, Grandma Li was completely relieved.

"That's good. I'm just worried about your Aunt Lanxiang. The child is still so young, and she can't go hungry. I'm still worried, so I'll just send some food to her house and visit her while I'm at it."

Ever since Chen Lanxiang married Sha Zhu, she has been with Grandma Li every day.

Now, the relationship between the two is deep. If Chen Lanxiang was not taken care of by her mother, Grandma Li would be able to make three trips a day.

Seeing Grandma Li's expression, Li Weiguo smiled and shook his head.

His grandmother is so kind-hearted that it makes people feel warm just by looking at her.

After breakfast, Li Dajiang and Wang Guifang went to work, chatting and laughing.

Last winter, Li Weiguo bought another bicycle, and now Li Dajiang rides it to and from get off work.

With the time traveler Li Weiguo around, the Li family would have definitely had a better life if it weren't for this famine.

Life is good at home, no wonder Li Dajiang and his wife are smiling so happily.

After Wang Dahua had eaten and drunk her fill, she packed up and went out, heading towards the cotton mill.

Li Dahe, Li Dahu and Li Xinchuang were carrying the prey they had hunted yesterday, preparing to go to the purchasing station next to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange them for money.

Along the way, the three of them chatted casually, their eyes full of anticipation.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to hunt prey now, and I don’t know what prices the purchasing stations will offer?

When they arrived at the purchasing station, the three men placed the prey on the counter.

When the buyer saw them, a familiar smile appeared on his face, and he praised: "Comrade Dahe, you are really capable. You can still catch prey now."

Li Dahe raised his chin slightly and said with a smile: "It's just luck."

Li Dahu and Li Xinchuang also nodded, with a hint of pride in their eyes.

Although it was becoming increasingly difficult to hunt prey, the three of them still got some rewards with the help of Li Weiguo. They were indeed quite powerful.

Hehe, they seem quite proud of themselves when they talk about it!

Li Dahe learned this answer from Li Weiguo.

Because whenever Li Weiguo went out hunting with them he never came back empty-handed, so the three of them always praised Li Weiguo for being so capable.

This was how Li Weiguo answered at that time. As time went by, it became a conditioned reflex for Li Dahe to blurt out this sentence.

"Then you guys are really lucky!"

The buyer said enviously that after all, there are very few people who can hunt these days.

Although he was envious, he did not forget the job at hand. He first weighed the prey they brought over, then calculated the price based on the purchase price, and then took the note to the office to collect the money.

Not long after, the buyer came back with the money and said with a smile: "Comrades, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is the money for the prey just now."

"OK, thanks!"

Li Dahe took the money and put it in his pocket. The three were about to turn around and leave when they were stopped by the buyer.

"Three comrades, don't leave in a hurry!" The three were stunned when they heard the words and looked at the buyer with surprise.

Li Dahe frowned and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, comrade? What's the matter?"

The buyer saw their surprise and explained with a smile, "It's nothing serious, our director just wants to meet you."

The three of them looked at each other, wondering why the director of the purchasing station wanted to see them?
