Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Sha Zhu's marriage upset several families. When Yi Zhonghai heard about it after coming home from work, he angrily smashed the teacup in the house, while Qin Huairu was pale and no one knew what she was thinking.

In the backyard of Xu Damao's house, Xu Damao was also drinking angrily. Although he wanted to find Sha Zhu and laugh at him for marrying a widow, when he thought about his own family's situation, he gave up the idea.

Ever since Sha Zhu got married, he no longer dresses sloppily as before. He Yushui, who used to have a bit of a dull personality, has also become cheerful recently. As for the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu's wife has been taking care of her, and she is very satisfied with this girl.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. This year, my younger sister will graduate from junior college, and the three-year natural disaster has ended, and the supply of materials in society has returned to normal.

The rations for workers in the city have also been restored, and everything is slowly returning to normal.

As for Li Tianyi, during this year, apart from training the sales staff who needed to attend the exhibition, he worked in the steel rolling mill.

During this period, he only reported one study. He designed a machine gun himself. This machine gun was designed based on the principles of later generations. Its range was twice that of current machine guns, but its weight was lighter than that of current machine guns.

He made one himself based on the existing steel pipes at the steel rolling mill. Although it has not been test-fired yet, based on Li Tianyi's understanding of it, its performance should be very good.

He gave the drawings to Xiaoxue's uncle, who worked in the military and was the commander of a certain army. When Li Tianyi first told him that he had designed a gun, the uncle didn't believe it, because based on his understanding of Li Tianyi, Li Tianyi had always been engaged in machine manufacturing research and had never touched on weapons.

Today he suddenly said that he had designed an advanced weapon and made a model. Naturally, his uncle thought he was talking nonsense.

Just when he was about to return to the army, Li Tianyi handed the drawings and models to his uncle. His uncle asked Xiaoxue to take the two children, aunt and grandfather to play in the living room, while his uncle took Li Tianyi to the study.

Li Tianyi’s second child has been born, also a son, whose nickname is Doudou and his full name is Li Aijun.

After Uncle Shen came to the office, he began to look at the model. Although he could not understand the drawings, he understood guns. When he saw the model, he knew that this gun was definitely superior to the machine guns currently used by their army.

Uncle Shen put down the model, and then began to learn in detail with Li Tianyi about the performance and data of the gun. When they had almost understood everything, Uncle Shen put on his military cap and walked out of the study with the drawings and model.

When he arrived in the living room, he said something to his grandpa and aunt, then got in the car and left. Everyone in the living room looked at Li Tianyi, and Li Tianyi just said, "This is a military secret."

No one else asked, and the family started to eat. My aunt really liked the two children. My uncle's children were not at home, and my aunt had her own job, so she couldn't go other places to take care of her grandchildren. What's more, she also had Grandpa Shen to take care of, so she couldn't leave.

So when I saw An An and Dou Dou, I liked them very much.

In the days that followed, Li Tianyi was invited to the military region several times. Later, when Uncle Shen was commending him, he mentioned that the gun he designed had passed the test and the superiors required the entire army to equip it.

These things did not matter to Li Tianyi, as long as he could help the country's development. But what he did not know was that because of this incident, his file was encrypted several times. In the impression of his superiors, he changed from a mechanical engineer and mechanical expert to a mechanical engineer, mechanical expert, and a weapons expert.

Of course, Uncle Shen did not tell Li Tianyi about this matter, because his superiors were worried that foreign personnel would take action against Li Tianyi, so everything about him was covered up.

After Li Tianyi completed the project, he took a break for a while. Although Li Huaide didn't know what had happened, Li Huaide's father-in-law told Li Huaide to get closer to his brother's family, especially to handle the relationship with Li Tianyi well.

In June, my younger sister graduated from junior college and the school assigned her to the hospital where Xiaoxue worked. From then on, the two sisters-in-law went to work and came home together.

The thing that worries Li's mother the most now is Li Tianhu's marriage. After the Chinese New Year this year, Li Tianhu will reach the marriageable age, but he still doesn't have a partner. How can this not make Li's mother worried?

It’s not that no one introduced someone to Li’s mother, it’s just that she didn’t like the person. Her colleagues in the cafeteria and the neighbors nearby all wanted to introduce a girl to Li Tianhu, but after getting to know the other party, her mother didn’t want her son to go on a blind date anymore.

People in the courtyard, especially Yu Li and Qin Huairu, all wanted to marry their sisters to the Li family. All members of the Li family earned wages, and the Li family's good conditions were well-known far and wide. If their sisters married into the Li family, wouldn't their own families also benefit from it?

But Li's mother declined their kindness. Li's mother privately asked Li Tianhu if he had someone he liked. Li Tianhu said that he was still quite shy about his lifelong event and just asked Li's mother to help him find one.

Li's mother had no choice but to ask a matchmaker to introduce Li Tianhu to someone. Xiaoxue and Xiaomei also helped Li Tianhu look around the hospital.

Finally, Xiaoxue introduced her colleague Zheng Jiajia to Li Tianhu. Xiaoxue's colleague is only 18 years old this year, which is the right age for Li Tianhu. Moreover, Zheng Jiajia's parents both work in the hospital. He also has an older brother who is married, but not in the city. His family works in a hospital in the south.

After Li Tianhu and Zheng Jia met several times, they both had a good impression of each other, so the two families chose a date to set the wedding date and would get married after the Chinese New Year next year.

The big stone in Li's mother's heart finally fell to the ground. Because Xiaoxue has gone back to work now, Li's mother has to take the two children to work every day. Li Tianyi suggested that An An is almost 4 years old now, so he can be sent to kindergarten first, so that Li's mother's burden will be much lighter.

But Li's mother disagreed. She was afraid that the child was still young and would be delayed in kindergarten. Besides, it would not be tiring for her to take care of her grandson. Li Tianyi and Xiaoxue tried to persuade her for a long time, but Li's mother just disagreed.

Finally, Father Li also spoke to Li Tianyi and the others to rest assured. Li Tianyi had no choice but to let Mother Li look after the child temporarily, but he also told Mother Li that if she felt tired, she could just tell them and said, "Let's send An An to kindergarten."

An An also understood what Li Tianyi said, asking him to leave his grandma, but he was unwilling to do so. He hugged Li's mother's arm and acted coquettishly, calling her grandma over and over again, which made Li's mother's heart melt.

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu have been married for a year, but Qin Huairu still hasn't gotten pregnant. This makes Yi Zhonghai wonder if he is infertile?
