1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Dajiang got the method of dealing with the current situation from Grandma Li.

As night fell, he gathered his brothers together.

The lights in the room were dim, and the brothers sat around with serious expressions.

After Li Dajiang and Li Dahe looked at each other, Li Dajiang spoke first: "Brothers, my mother has given me a solution.

I called you all here today to discuss this matter.

We can convert the extra work quota into money and distribute it. Dahe and I don’t need it. Now it depends on what you two, Dahu and Xinchuang, decide."

After saying that, Li Dajiang looked at everyone with a firm gaze, his hands slightly folded on the table.

Upon hearing this, Li Dahu and Li Xinchuang both lowered their heads slightly and fell into deep thought.

Li Dahu frowned slightly, his eyes wandered for a moment and then he raised his head with determination in his eyes: "Brother Dajiang, I think this work quota should be given to Xinchuang's family. My family already has one, so we can't be too greedy." As he said that, he shook his head slightly and rubbed his hands unconsciously.

Li Xinchuang waved his hands quickly, looking anxious: "Brother Dahu, this is not possible. My family definitely cannot accept this work quota."

There was sincerity in his eyes and he leaned forward slightly.

He felt that one should not be too greedy. It was already a great thing that he became a formal worker along with Li Dajiang and his colleagues. How could he even bother with the work target?

"No, that won't work. I'm already very satisfied that my Wei Lan can go to work. How can all good things happen to our family?"

"Weilan's work quota is what Weiguo wants, so it can't be counted in this. Brother Dahu, just listen to me.

My wife has to take care of my parents, she can't leave. Besides, I don't have any children of school age.

This quota should be given to Sister Suzhi, otherwise she will be bullied by Aunt Xinghua when she brings her children to the village..."

The brothers argued with each other and the atmosphere gradually became heated.

Li Dajiang felt warm in his heart when he saw his brothers caring about each other. He nodded slightly, with relief in his eyes.

Li Weiguo watched quietly from the side, his eyes flickering with emotion, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his fists unconsciously clenched tightly.

After more than an hour of discussion, the final result came out.

Both work targets fell to Li Dahu's family, and Li Dahu's family did not take a penny of the money from buying and selling prey. Their share all went to Li Xinchuang's family.

A few days later, Li Xin broke into the house.

When the old village chief learned the result of this matter, he sat at the table with a serious expression.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Xinchuang: "Xinchuang, you did the right thing. We can't be too greedy. Li Dahu's family really needs that work quota more."

Li Xinchuang nodded, his eyes firm: "Dad, I know. One should not be too greedy. One should not damage the harmony between brothers for such a small benefit."

The old village chief nodded slightly and said, "I'll give you the extra money! Otherwise, the woman at home will ask about it and cause trouble."

Li Xinchuang took out the money without any hesitation and handed it to the old village chief.

"Dad, don't worry, I won't let anyone else know about this."

After all, the less people know, the less trouble there is.

He didn't want the friendship between the brothers to be affected by a work target.

Three days later, Chen Suzhi prepared to go to Sijiucheng with several children.

Chen Suzhi's eyes were full of expectation and hope. She looked at the children tenderly and said, "Children, when we get to Sijiucheng, you must be obedient. Our lives will get better and better in the future."

The children nodded one after another, their eyes sparkling with longing for the future and their faces filled with excitement.

The children answered in unison: "Yes, Mom, we will be good and obedient!"

The donkey cart outside the yard was filled with pots and pans from Li Dahu's family.

It is said that a poor family is worth a fortune, and that is absolutely true.

Li Dahu and Chen Suzhi have been married for so many years, and their family has always been in poverty and even owed a lot of debts.

Thanks to Li Weiguo's secret help, Li Dahu's illness was cured and he was able to pay off the debts he had owed over the years. The things on the donkey cart in front of him are all the belongings of Li Dahu's family.

All the chickens raised at home were secretly sold to the villagers at market price. Now the family was standing at the door, staring at the empty yard in a daze.

They were really leaving, leaving the place where they had lived for many years.

Li Dahu stood in front of the donkey cart and urged, "Suzhi, lock the door quickly! We are leaving!"

"Hey, I'll lock the door now!"

With the sound of the door lock clicking, Chen Suzhi took her three children on the donkey cart and slowly drove away from Lijia Village towards Sijiu City.

In Sijiucheng, with the careful coordination of the street office, Li Dahu and his family moved from the No. 95 courtyard house to the No. 93 tenement house.

The two back-to-back houses originally allocated to Li Dahu returned to the hands of the subdistrict office.

This transfer was all because Director Liu came forward to give Director Wang a heads-up.

Director Liu received commendation from his superiors for the outstanding performance of Li Weiguo and his team. It is rumored that his position will be promoted to a higher level soon.

He was full of gratitude to the Li family, so he greeted Director Wang in advance and asked Director Wang to take good care of them.

Courtyard No. 93 is adjacent to Courtyard No. 95. It is a typical slum, with all kinds of people living in it, doing all kinds of jobs.

Unlike Courtyard No. 95, almost all residents there are workers from the steel mill or employees of affiliated units related to the steel mill.

Li Dahu's family was allocated three western wing rooms and a small kitchen in the No. 93 courtyard house.

In this way, Li Dahu's family of five has plenty of space to live in.

Moreover, Courtyard No. 93 is very close to the Li family courtyard, and the main entrance is in the same alley, which makes Grandma Li particularly satisfied.

When Li Dahu and his family slowly arrived at Courtyard No. 93 in their donkey cart.

Grandpa Li, Grandma Li and Li Weiguo and a few others had already cleaned up the west wing of Li Dahu's house.

As soon as Li Dahu and his companions' carriage arrived, Li Weiguo and a few of his brothers started rushing around helping to move things.

The neighbors in the compound also gathered around, all wanting to lend a hand.

However, I didn't expect that the Li family had already cleaned up the place properly.

Grandma Li smiled and lovingly took Chen Suzhi's hand to stand in the crowd. She introduced her to the neighbors enthusiastically: "Dear neighbors, this is my niece's wife, Chen Suzhi. Her family just moved here. We will be neighbors from now on. Please take good care of her."

Chen Suzhi smiled shyly, bowed slightly, and said sincerely: "Please take care of us in the future. We are new here, so please forgive us if we do something wrong."

Grandpa Li also nodded and said sincerely, "Yes, neighbors. Our Dahu family just moved here. Please visit each other more often. If there is anything they do not do well, please bear with them. They are all honest people and will definitely get along well with everyone."

The neighbors responded one after another.

"Auntie, don't worry, we are all neighbors and will definitely take care of each other. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors." An aunt said with a smile.

"This family looks kind, and we will definitely get along well in the future." Another old man nodded in agreement.
