1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Time passed slowly as Jia Dongxu was struggling, and the aroma of food gradually spread from the kitchen.

Not long after, Qin Huairu's eldest brother also came back from work. He was very happy to see his sister and brother-in-law whom he had not seen for a long time.

He spoke to Jia Dongxu enthusiastically, but Jia Dongxu just said a few words perfunctorily and showed no interest at all.

Finally, Qin's mother shouted from the kitchen: "Dinner is ready!"

Qin's father and elder brother Qin invited Jia Dongxu and the two children to come into the house to eat.

When Banggeng heard that dinner was about to start, he ran into the house. He had already seen meat in the basket that his grandfather had brought back just now!

The scene before him made Qin's father's eyes narrow into slits.

He kept saying, "Banggeng, run slower, don't fall..."

The family sat around the table and began to enjoy the sumptuous meal.

A plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of fried vegetables with bacon, and a large plate of mixed cucumbers.

Jia Dongxu looked at the table full of delicious food, but he didn't have much appetite.

He was still troubled by that question, but Qin Huairu greeted him and the children warmly, not noticing anything strange about him.

Banggeng and Xiaodang were eating with relish, while Qin's father and mother looked at them with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, Banggeng likes the food grandma cooks, so he'll come often..."

Bang Geng's mouth was full. When he heard grandma's words, he nodded quickly, which made the two old people even happier.

However, Jia Dongxu was never able to truly integrate into this joyful atmosphere.

His heart was filled with doubts and anxieties, as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart.

Qin Jingru looked at Jia Dongxu and didn't dare to say much.

She secretly looked at Qin Huairu, then at Jia Dongxu, feeling somewhat regretful about what she had just said.

She didn't know if she had caused a big disaster or if it would affect the relationship between her cousin and brother-in-law.

Jia Dongxu reluctantly took a few bites of food and put down his chopsticks.

Qin Huairu noticed his abnormality and asked with concern: "Dongxu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jia Dongxu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just not very hungry."

Qin's father and mother also noticed that something was wrong with Jia Dongxu, but they thought that Jia Dongxu was used to eating good food in the city and was not used to the food in the village.

They didn't ask any more questions, but just continued to invite everyone to eat.

The meal ended in a subtle atmosphere.

After dinner, Qin's father and mother prepared a small bag of food and vegetables grown at home for Qin Huairu.

“Huai Ru, you know how life is at home. We don’t have much stuff, so don’t be disgusted!”

Qin Huairu knew that her parents would not let her go back empty-handed.

The reason why she didn't take the initiative to ask for food was that she was sure that her parents would definitely give her food.

After all, she married a city man, and her family would need her help if they had difficulties in the future.

But she also deliberately refused: "Dad and Mom, we don't want these things. Life at home is still okay!"

However, the more she refused, the more her parents felt that city people had an easier life, and they were worried that Qin Huairu would look down on the food.

"Listen, this isn't for you. This is for my little grandson!"

Mother Qin pushed the small bag in her hand into Qin Huairu's arms. Qin Huairu deliberately refused twice, but finally accepted it.

Only then did Qin's mother reveal a relieved smile.

However, only Qin Huairu herself knew that the purpose of her return this time was to get food.

Everyone in the Qin family didn't know Qin Huairu's wishful thinking, but she had schemed against them completely.

After getting the food, Qin Huairu did not stay long and went to the bus station on the donkey cart borrowed from Qin's eldest brother.

At this moment in Lijia Village, the brigade is bustling with activity.

The villagers gathered together, busy slaughtering wild boars and sorting out other prey.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and excitement.

Li Xinyan stood aside and talked with Li Dajiang about the whereabouts of these prey.

Li Dajiang frowned slightly, thinking about his next move.

At this time, Li Weiguo came over and said, "Uncle Xinyan, I promised Director Liu of the purchasing station that I would give Director Liu some of the meat. Why don't I ask Director Liu to drive over now and let him transport it himself, which will also save us transportation time."

When Li Dajiang heard this, he already had some guesses in his mind.

He listened to Li Weiguo's words and instantly understood his son's intention.

This hunting trip was mainly proposed by my son. Now that my son has made such an arrangement again, it must be that Director Liu has some agreement with him.

Thinking of this, Li Dajiang nodded and said, "Weiguo, that makes sense. Let Weiguo negotiate with Director Liu next."

Li Weiguo nodded. Li Dajiang's arrangement was exactly what he wanted, so he agreed without thinking.

"Dad, I'll be back soon. Uncles, take the villagers to slaughter the wild boars first, and give the pig organs and bones to the villagers! We'll make arrangements for the rest after Director Liu leaves!"

Li Xinyan showed a satisfied look on his face when he heard this. He knew that Li Dajiang and his son would definitely not let the villagers' work in vain.

So he responded readily: "No problem, just do as Weiguo said, I will ask the villagers to clean those internal organs as soon as possible..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xinyan had already joined the crowd slaughtering the wild boar.

Li Weiguo rode his bicycle, and after leaving the village, he quickly changed it to the electric bicycle.

With the help of the electric bicycle, his speed increased by more than half.

The wind whistled past his ears, and Li Weiguo's heart was full of anticipation.

If everything goes well this time, he will definitely find a job for Aunt Suzhi and Sister Weilan.

We are now in the most difficult year of disaster. It is still easier to transfer rural household registration to urban household registration now, but it will be extremely difficult in a few years.

He must seize the opportunity to gain more benefits for his family.

Not long after, Li Weiguo arrived at Director Liu's purchasing station.

At this moment, the purchasing station is taking turns to rest, and Director Liu is not there.

Li Weiguo found the person in charge of the purchase and said anxiously, "I am Li Weiguo. I have an appointment with Director Liu. Please go find Director Liu and tell him that I killed eight wild boars!"

When the person in charge of the acquisition heard this, his eyes widened.

They immediately realized the importance of the matter, and one of them immediately rode a bicycle to find Director Liu.

Director Liu was resting at home when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw the staff at the purchasing station with anxious faces.

The staff member panted and said, "Director Liu, go and have a look. Just now a man named Li Weiguo came to see you. He said he killed eight wild boars!"

"What! You said they hunted a few wild boars?"

The staff member continued panting and said, "Eight... He said he hunted eight..."

When Director Liu heard this, he immediately smiled happily.

Li Weiguo is really his lucky star. He knows how heavy the task is.

He felt like a big pie was hitting him on the head, and it seemed a little unreal.

"Let's go back to the purchasing station." Director Liu said without hesitation.
