Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

"What are you doing?" Li Tianyi didn't quite understand Xiao Zhou's hesitation, so he asked.

"Commander, I don't want to trouble you. A few days ago, I received a letter from my family saying that my mother was sick. The doctor said that she was overworked and asked me to go home and take good care of herself. However, there are five brothers in my family. Except for me, the youngest, who has not yet married, the others are all married. There is no money at home to support my mother."

"I've spent all the salary I took home before, so I want to borrow some money from you to help my family get through this period." Xiao Zhou wiped away his tears as he spoke.

Li Tianyi patted Xiao Zhou on the shoulder and said nothing. He went into the house. After a while, Li Tianyi came out with a hundred yuan. "Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier? Here is 100 yuan. Take it home tomorrow."

Xiao Zhou took it awkwardly, "Thank you, Chief. I will definitely pay you back when I get my salary."

Li Tianyi waved his hand, "Don't worry, I don't need these at the moment, I'll treat your illness first, and it won't be too late to pay you back when you're rich."

Xiao Zhou bowed to Li Tianyi, and Li Tianyi told him to go back and pack his things quickly so that they could set out together early tomorrow morning.

After a while, Li's mother and her family came back from get off work. Li Tianyi played with his sons as usual. During the meal, Li Tianyi didn't say anything.

After dinner, Li Tianyi said, "Mom, I'm going on a business trip for a few days. When I come back, I might be called up to join the army."

The whole family was stunned. The news of Li Tianyi's enlistment was so sudden that Li's mother and others were caught off guard.

"Son, has something happened?" Father Li asked worriedly.

Li Tianyi didn't want to say it at first, but seeing the worried expressions of his parents and Xiaoxue, Li Tianyi suppressed the idea of ​​hiding it, "Something happened, Dad, you should have noticed that the atmosphere in society is very serious now. Many academicians in our institute have been transferred. I have stayed until now because I have a project."

"Now that the project is over, my superiors have arranged for me to join the army. This is also to protect me."

Father Li and Mother Li looked at each other and asked, "What about your wife and children?"

"I hope they can go with me. I will arrange this matter. As for the house, I have the title deed and the street office can't take it away. You can just eat here on weekdays."

Xiaoxue looked at the child while listening to Li Tianyi's words. She did not interrupt, but just listened quietly.

After Mr. and Mrs. Li left, Li Tianyi returned to the house and found that the children were all asleep, but Xiaoxue was still waiting for him.

Li Tianyi sat down beside the bed, held Xiaoxue's hand, and comforted her softly, "Xiaoxue, why don't you rest yet?"

"Brother Tian, ​​is it really time to leave?"

Li Tianyi nodded with a heavy face, "Yes, now there are signs of chaos in various upper-level units, especially schools and scientific research institutions. Then it will spread to hospitals, factories, and finally to the countryside."

"If I don't leave now, I'm worried that no one can protect me." Li Tianyi sighed helplessly.

"What about looking for grandpa and uncle?" Xiaoxue looked at Li Tianyi hopefully. Li Tianyi shook his head, "We can't look for them. We can't cause them more trouble. Besides, their situation is not safe. We can't cause them any more trouble."

"Hey, but can our two sons adapt?"

Li Tianyi looked at the two children sleeping in the small bed. He didn't know whether his children could adapt to the environment there, but this was better than being exiled to the countryside or a farm.

The next morning, Li Tianyi asked Xiao Zhou to take him to the Academy of Sciences, and then asked Xiao Zhou to drive home, while he went into the workshop and waited for his superiors to come.

Soon a truck drove into the Academy of Sciences, and President Zhang accompanied a team of people into the workshop. After introducing both parties, the team began to move computers and computer parts.

Soon the things were loaded onto the truck and the team of soldiers also got on. Li Tianyi said goodbye to Dean Zhang and then got on the truck.

The truck was completely enclosed, so Li Tianyi had no idea where he was going. He just felt that the truck had been driving for more than two hours. There was a section of road in the middle that was very uneven, and the truck was shaking violently.

Li Tianyi was worried that the computer host would be damaged, so he quickly asked them to stop the car. After communicating with Li Tianyi, the captain knew the reason, so he held the computer host in his arms, while the computer screen was held by two young soldiers, thus avoiding the possibility of damage.

When they arrived at the destination, the truck drove into a cave. When the truck stopped, Li Tian got off and found that it was a valley. There were mountains on all sides with lush trees. Looking up at the mountains from the valley, he could only see spots of sunlight through the branches above his head.

Moreover, the surrounding houses were painted green. Li Tianyi guessed that if one looked down from the mountain, one would not be able to find this base at all.

Li Tianyi followed the captain to a house. The captain asked Li Tianyi to sit for a while, and he went out.

In this way, Li Tianyi stayed in this base for a week. During this period, he taught during the day and rested at night. After those people mastered how to use computers, Li Tianyi began to teach them how to assemble computers.

He was making a computer motherboard, so in the next few days, a new computer was assembled. After Li Tianyi installed the system, the computer was taken away.

Later, someone informed him that he could leave and gave him the enlistment notice issued by his superiors. The enlistment ceremony was also held at the base, and Li Tianyi was awarded the rank of colonel.

Li Tianyi was holding his officer certificate, and he was very moved. He was actually enlisted like this? And based on his military rank, he could be allocated a house. His superiors also explained this. Maybe his superiors also took Li Tianyi's family situation into consideration, so they thoughtfully arranged a house for him, just waiting for Li Tianyi to enlist.

This time when he returned, the base also sent a jeep to take Li Tianyi back. Li Tianyi had a military uniform in his bag. According to the requirements of his superiors, he needed to report to the new unit within one month. His salary and allowances would be received at the new unit after that, and he would still be treated as an academician of the Academy of Sciences.

When he got home, his family hadn't gotten off work yet. As soon as Li Tian put his things away, he saw Xiao Zhou walking in from outside. "Xiao Zhou, how is your mother?"

"Thank you for your concern, my mother is much better. When will you come back, Chief?"

"I just arrived too. Go pack your luggage. We'll leave for the Northeast in the next two days."

"Okay chief."

Li Tianyi was also packing his luggage. The weather in Northeast China was cold, so he must bring some winter clothes. As for making thick clothes, it would definitely be too late.
