1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Weiguo was riding his brand new electric bicycle, the wind whistling in his ears, and all he wanted was to get home quickly.

The wheels spun quickly, raising a little dust from the roadside. His figure was like a streak of light, speeding through the familiar streets and alleys.

At this moment, what emerged in his mind were the kind faces of his grandparents, parents, and the scenes of his younger brothers and sisters laughing and playing. Today, they must be looking forward to his return home.

Along the way, the sun shone on his body, feeling warm, but Li Weiguo had no intention of appreciating the autumn scenery. He just wanted to see his family as soon as possible.

When he drove near his home, Li Weiguo found an empty corner and skillfully put the electric bicycle into the system space.

Then, he took out two roast ducks and a bag of fruit from the system space, and walked happily towards home.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li stood at the gate early, standing on tiptoe from time to time and stretching their necks to look towards the entrance of the alley. They looked so anxious, as if waiting even one more second would be torture.

Li Weiguo turned into the alley and immediately saw his grandparents waiting at the gate.

His heart suddenly warmed up and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm back!"

When Grandpa Li and Grandma Li heard the call, they felt like they were injected with energy. Bright smiles instantly blossomed on their faces, and their wrinkles were filled with joy.

"Oh, Weiguo is back!" Grandpa Li waved excitedly and hurried to greet him.

Grandma Li was also overjoyed. Her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, muttering, "You're finally back. Your grandpa has been hanging around the door since early morning!"

When Li Weiguo came up to her, Grandma Li saw what he was holding and immediately pretended to be angry and said, "What are you bringing home, kid? You're wasting money. You don't have anything at home."

But there was clearly heartache and relief in his eyes.

Li Weiguo supported his grandmother and explained with a smile: "Grandma, this is to nourish you and your family. You will definitely not be willing to eat good food when I am not at home."

Then, the three of them walked into the yard while talking.

As soon as he entered the yard, Li Dajiang, Li Dahe, Wang Guifang, Wang Dahua and other relatives heard the noise and came out to greet him, surrounding Li Weiguo.

"Weiguo, you must be tired from the journey!"

Wang Guifang's face was full of smiles, her eyes showed heartache, and she reached out to take the thing in his hand.

Li Dajiang patted his shoulder and said, "Son, are you adapting well in school?"

Li Weiguo smiled and nodded: "Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I'm fine, don't worry."

Before he could say a few more words, a group of little guys rushed out of the house like little cannonballs.

His younger brothers Li Weimin and Li Weihua, his younger sister Li Weihong, and his two cousins ​​Li Weibing and Li Weidong surrounded Li Weiguo.

The youngest, Li Weihong, hung on Li Weiguo like a little monkey and asked happily, "Brother, did you miss me? Did you bring me anything fun?"

Li Weiguo picked her up and replied with a smile: "Of course there are delicious things. Today we have not only roast duck, but also Honghong's favorite apples. How do you like it?"

Li Weihong's eyes lit up and she shouted, "I like it, I like it, big brother is the best!"

The other brothers were not to be outdone and pulled at the corner of Li Weiguo's clothes.

"Brother, is college particularly interesting?" Li Weimin asked curiously.

"Is there a big playground? Can we play football?" Li Weidong also joined in the fun.

"How's the food at school? Is it better than the food at home?" Li Weihua asked, blinking his big eyes.

Li Weiguo was surrounded by his younger brothers and walked into the house, patiently answering various questions along the way.

"College is like that, just like high school, except there are more people."

"Of course there is a big playground. We have been in military training for a week and the students are exhausted!"

"The food at school is average, not as good as what grandma cooks..."

At noon, the tempting aroma of food rose from the kitchen and steam poured out of the window.

The whole family sat neatly around a large round table, which was filled with sumptuous dishes. Li Weiguo's favorite sweet and sour spare ribs were bright red in color, and the sweet and sour aroma wafted around, making people drool.

The two shiny roast ducks have also been cut into evenly thin slices and neatly placed on the plate, with shredded green onions, cucumbers, and sweet noodle sauce. Roll them up in a pancake and they are crispy and delicious, with a wonderful taste.

Grandma Li sat down next to Li Weiguo and kept picking up food for him. Her chopsticks never stopped moving and she kept muttering, "Eat more. You won't get such delicious food at school." Every time she picked up food with her chopsticks, her eyes were filled with loving care.

The Li family's children also benefited from this and had a delicious meal.

At the dinner table, the family members talked one after another, and the topic still revolved around Li Weiguo. They asked him whether the teachers in college were strict, whether he was easy to get along with his classmates, and whether the dormitory conditions were good.

Li Weiguo was eating heartily and answering everyone's questions from time to time, but at this moment his heart was deeply moved.

On weekdays at home, he was used to the daily trivialities and did not realize the deep and strong love of his family.

He had only been away from home for a week, but he was overwhelmed by the overwhelming warmth and concern from his family, which made him feel warm inside, as if he was illuminated by the warm spring sun.

After dinner, Li Weiguo suddenly remembered something and asked Grandma Li quietly, "Grandma, has Wu Bo been sending food to our house on time recently? Is the food at home enough?"

When Wu Bo was mentioned, a smile instantly broke out on Grandma Li's face, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were filled with smiles.

She said with satisfaction: "The child is very attentive. He always delivers the things on time and prepares everything. Moreover, he always comes quietly at night, puts the things down and leaves quietly, without disturbing us too much. He is very thoughtful and cautious."

After hearing this, Li Weiguo felt more at ease, thinking secretly that Wu Bo was indeed a reliable friend.

After the meal, when his family had a short rest, he said goodbye to them, got up and went out, heading straight to Wu Bo.

Li Weiguo attached great importance to his cooperative relationship with Wu Bo. After all, only in this way could he make his things clear to his family.

Only by taking out his wealth in the future can his family members avoid suspicion.

When he arrived at Wu Bo's house, he climbed over the wall with ease.

At this moment, there was no one at Wu Bo's house, and Li Weiguo guessed that he might have gone to the black market.

He and Wu Dong had discussed it in advance. He would provide the grain and stay behind the scenes, while Wu Dong and his group would be responsible for trading on the black market, and Wu Dong and his group would take 30% of all the profits.

Before Li Weiguo started school, Wu Dong gave him the key to his house. Unfortunately, Li Weiguo found it too troublesome and simply climbed over the wall to get in.

Li Weiguo placed 1,000 kilograms of corn flour, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the east wing of Wu Dong's house, put down a letter and left.

He came in quietly and left quietly, as if he had never been there.
