1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

The deaf old lady realized that the Li family was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

She squinted her eyes and looked out the window. Li family, great!

On this weekend, before the early morning sun had completely penetrated the mist, Li Weiguo, his son and his three uncles had already set out on the journey to Lijia Village.

The bicycle bells rang crisply on the empty road, as if playing the music of this journey.

Their faces were filled with anticipation as they rode closer to Lijia Village.

Now Li Xinyan is the village party secretary of Lijia Village. Li Weiguo and his companions went directly to the village chief's house if they wanted to go into the mountains.

When Li Weiguo and his group explained their purpose, Li Xinyan agreed without hesitation and took them to the village warehouse.

"No problem. My father had expected that you would go into the mountains to hunt from time to time, so he applied for more bullets from the higher-ups! The reason was that Lijia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and wild boars often come down to eat the crops!"

As Li Xinyan spoke, she led five people towards the brigade headquarters.

"Uncle Quandang is really far-sighted, and we have benefited from it!" Li Dahe laughed.

Arriving at Lijia Village was like arriving home, and he spoke more freely.

"Brother Dahe, please don't say that. You went into the mountains to hunt to get rid of the harm to the villagers of Lijia Village in advance. Of course we support you!"

"Besides, every time you kill prey, the village gets a lot of credit, and the village supports you!"

"That's good, we won't cause you any trouble!" Li Dajiang also responded.

"Xinyan, we're going to go straight into the mountains. Tell my wife so that they won't worry!"

"Oh, got it. I'll tell Sister Suzhi when I have time!"

Before they knew it, they arrived at the brigade headquarters. Li Xinyan asked a few people to choose their own guns, while he prepared water and food for the cousins.

After everyone had chosen their guns, Li Xinyan was also ready.

"Brother Dajiang, I asked my family to prepare these foods for you. You can take them with you when you go up the mountain!"

Li Xinyan handed them a package filled with dry food and a water bottle.

Li Dajiang did not refuse. He was surprised by the change in his cousin.

Li Xinyan is the most eccentric person among them. Now that Li Xinyan can think so thoughtfully for them, Li Dajiang has a great change in his impression of this cousin.

"Xinyan, it's different being an official, that's right!"

Li Dajiang patted Li Xinyan on the shoulder and said in agreement.

Li Xinchuang didn't think so: "Brother Dajiang, don't praise him. This is all taught by my father with a stick..."

Li Xinchuang knew what his brothers were like. Every time he came back, he could see his father beating his younger brother with a stick.

Li Dahu also echoed, "Hey, Xinyan has indeed changed a lot in the past few months, and she is becoming more and more like Uncle Quandang..."

"I think so too. They know to prepare food and drink for us. That's progress!"

Several brothers took the opportunity to tease Li Xinyan, making Li Xinyan beg for mercy repeatedly.

"Brothers, please stop joking with me. I have to guard my father every day, which is miserable enough!"

Li Weiguo was standing nearby, watching the scene. These uncles had been playing together since childhood, and their relationship was really good.

It can be seen from their words and actions that the feelings between them are deep.

"Okay, stop making a fuss, now that everything is ready, let's go up the mountain!"

As the leader of the brothers, Li Dajiang has always had the most say.

At his command, the brothers immediately regained their seriousness.

"Hey, let's go now. Xinyan, don't forget to tell your sister-in-law!"

"I got it, Brother Da Hu. You guys should be careful!"

Li Xinyan stood at the gate, waved, and watched Li Weiguo and his party leave.

If it were the Li Xinyan of the past, she would have followed her brothers into the mountains to hunt without hesitation.

But now, he has become the village party secretary and has responsibilities, and there is a bit more calmness and responsibility in his eyes.

At the same time, at the bus station in the city, Jia Dongxu and his family of four got on the bus to Qinjia Village.

Qin Huairu was wearing a floral shirt that was a little faded from washing but clean and tidy, and her hair was neatly tied behind her head.

There was a gleam of excitement in her eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she whispered to Jia Dongxu from time to time.

"Dongxu, you haven't come back to my mother's house with me for many years. Dad, Mom, Big Brother, and Big Sister-in-law will definitely be very happy to see you back!"

Jia Dongxu had a slightly serious expression, with his own thoughts in mind, but he also responded.

"Ah."

He didn't go back with Qin Huairu before because Jia Zhangshi didn't allow him to go back with them.

This time he went back just to find out what happened to Qin Huairu before she got married.

As for whether Qin Huairu's family was happy or not, he didn't care.

The little face of Bang Terrier was rosy and his eyes were looking out the window curiously.

Today, the whole family is going to grandma's house. He was very happy when his mother told him that there would be delicious food there.

Xiaodang was held in Qin Huairu's arms. He looked at the surrounding scene with his big eyes. He was quiet and well-behaved and cute.

The bus moved slowly forward, and the scenery outside the window flashed by like a slide.

About ten minutes later, after arriving at the station, the family got off the bus one after another.

Qin Huairu walked briskly, like a bird returning home. She was gloomy a few days ago, but today she seemed like a different person.

Qin Huairu held Xiaodang in her arms, Jia Dongxu led Banggeng, and the four of them walked towards Qinjia Village.

"Mom, how far is grandma's house? Why haven't we arrived yet?"

Banggeng didn't want to go any further before he had gone very far.

"Banggeng, grandma's house is just ahead. We won't be able to walk for long. Just hold on for a while!" Qin Huairu whispered to comfort her son.

Just then, the sound of wheel came from behind.

Qin Huairu turned her head and found that the donkey cart coming was from Qinjia Village.

The old man driving the cart was Qin Huairu's cousin. She quickly waved and said hello: "Uncle Changsheng, where are you going?"

The old man quickly stopped the donkey cart upon hearing the voice and squinted his eyes to see: "It's Huairu, right? Are you going back to your mother's home?"

Qin Huairu greeted him with a smile: "It's me, Uncle Changsheng. Today happens to be the weekend, so our family will go home to visit."

"Good, your parents will be very happy to see you back! You guys hurry up and get in the car, I'll take you there faster! This is your son, he's white and plump, he looks so blessed!"

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Changsheng. We won't be polite then!" After saying that, Qin Huairu put Xiaodang in her arms on the donkey cart, and then said to Banggeng beside her: "Banggeng, call me grandpa!"

Banggeng raised his eyelids to take a look at the old man driving the donkey cart. Not only was the man's clothes covered with patches, but he also had a strange smell.

He frowned and turned his head away, ignoring Qin Huairu's words.

Qin Huairu felt very embarrassed seeing Banggeng like this.

Her expression changed instantly, and she raised her hand to hit him: "Bang Geng, come on, yell! How can you be so rude!"

The old man quickly stopped Qin Huairu: "Huairu, it's normal for a child to be shy. You can't hit him. Hurry up and get in the car. I'll give you a ride!"

The old man was honest and didn't care about Banggeng's rudeness at all. City kids are spoiled, so he wouldn't bother with them.

In this way, Qin Huairu and her family happily got on the donkey cart.

The little donkey walked slowly, and the wheels made a "gurgling" sound on the dirt road.
