Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

When Li Tianyi was packing his luggage, Li's father and mother also got off work. They were still very happy to see Li Tianyi, but the luggage in the house reminded them that their son was about to go on a long journey.

Mother Li and Father Li were silent for a moment. Seeing this, Li Tianyi put down the things in his hands and gently hugged Mother Li. "Mom, don't be like this. I'm not going away forever. If you miss me and the children, just go find us!"

After hearing what Li Tianyi said, Li's mother couldn't help crying and said, "Okay, hurry up and pack your things."

As he spoke, he helped Li Tianyi pack his luggage, "Tianyi, where are you going this time?"

"In the Northeast, I will write home once I am settled there."

"Okay, it's cold in the Northeast, so you need to bring some thick clothes." Mother Li checked the luggage and said, "These clothes are still too thin. I'm afraid they won't keep me warm in the Northeast."

"Tianyi, when are you leaving?"

"The requirement is to arrive within a month, so I can still stay at home for a week." Li Tianyi calculated the itinerary. It would take 4-5 days to get from Sijiucheng to the northeast by train, and then drive back to the military area. He also had to leave some time to clean up the house, so it was okay to stay at home for a week.

Mother Li thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll take a few days off and stay at home. We still have some cotton at home. I'll go out and buy some more and I'll make your cotton clothes thicker."

Father Li nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll ask for leave for you tomorrow."

The three were talking when Xiaoxue and her younger sister came back from get off work and saw Li's mother and Li Tianyi packing their luggage. They knew the location had been decided, and Li Tianyi also notified Xiaoxue, after all, Xiaoxue still had work to do.

"Xiaoxue, we will leave for the Northeast in a week. You may need to make some arrangements for your work."

Xiaoxue nodded silently. She had been making preparations since she knew Li Tianyi was leaving. She had already submitted her resignation letter to the hospital. The reason was that her husband had been transferred to another place for work.

Although all her good friends felt sorry for her, they couldn't persuade her to separate her husband and wife. Xiaoxue also asked the sisters in the hospital to help take care of her younger sister, and her friends all agreed.

I'll just go and tell the dean tomorrow.

That night, the family didn't say much, but just worked silently. Li's father and mother did not return to the courtyard, but rested directly with Li Tianyi.

The next day, after breakfast, Li's father went to work, and after Li Tianyi finished packing, he took Xiao Zhou to the steel mill.

After meeting Li Huaide, she told him where she was going, and asked Li Huaide to keep an eye on Xiaoxue's grandfather's house and inform her if anything happened there. She also asked Li Huaide to be careful and not let anyone catch him.

Li Huaide knew what was important and what was not. He had already discussed this with his father-in-law, Deputy Minister Wu. His father-in-law meant that it would be best for Li Tianyi to leave Sijiu City, because the current Li Tianyi was not someone who could be protected by anyone who wanted to.

Li Tianyi's name has appeared at the highest level, so his situation is even more dangerous. Ever since M country announced the successful development of a new type of computer after Xinhua country last year, M country's spies in Xinhua country have been fully investigating the computer's developer. According to Xinhua country's news network, M country already knows about Li Tianyi, and Li Tianyi is no longer safe outside.

This was when the news of the successful launch of the computer had not yet been revealed. The superiors were also afraid that the United States would become desperate and kill Li Tianyi at all costs, so the news of the computer was kept secret. The superiors would not release the news until Li Tianyi entered the military region.

Moreover, the girl who gave great confidence to the people of Xinhua Country got married. This incident made the spies of other countries unable to take care of Li Tianyi for a while, so Li Tianyi had time to leave Sijiu City.

After leaving the steel mill, Li Tianyi did not go home, but went to the department store, took out the cotton ticket, bought 80 kilograms of cotton there, and then went back with Xiao Zhou.

After arriving home, Li Tianyi handed the cotton to his mother. His mother was very happy to see her son bringing back so much cotton. She was just worrying about where to get some cotton. There was not much cotton at home, not enough to make thick cotton clothes for the four people in the family. She didn't expect that her son solved the problem after just going out for a few hours.

Not long after Li Tianyi got home, Xiaoxue came home. She had already completed the resignation procedures. Seeing this, Li Tianyi hugged Xiaoxue and said to her, "Let's go to grandpa's house."

Xiaoxue nodded and led her two sons out. Li Tianyi knew that Xiaoxue was in a bad mood because she was leaving Sijiu City, and Li Tianyi didn't know how to comfort her.

In the car, An An and Dou Dou looked out the window excitedly. They were curious about everything they saw and shouted loudly in the car. Xiao Xue also temporarily broke away from her lost mood and looked at the scenery outside the window with the children.

When they arrived at the Shen family, Mr. Shen had already resigned and was at home. He was very happy to see Li Tianyi's family. Mr. Shen picked up Doudou and took An An to get some delicious food, while Xiaoxue followed the three children. The older Mr. Shen gets, the more childish he becomes.

After a while, they came back smiling. Li Tianyi took Doudou and put him on the ground, letting him go and play with his brother, while Li Tianyi and the other two sat on the sofa and talked.

Li Tianyi told Mr. Shen where he was going. Mr. Shen told Li Tianyi and the others to keep a low profile and pay attention to safety. He then counseled Xiaoxue.

Li Tianyi and his friends left after having lunch at the Shen's house. Mr. Shen and his aunt accompanied Li Tianyi all the way to the gate of the military area, and Xiaoxue burst into tears.

An An and Dou Dou huddled in the car anxiously, wiping their mother's tears with their little hands. Li Tianyi held Xiao Xue's hand and comforted her silently.

Fortunately, Xiaoxue stopped crying after a while. Looking at the worried expressions of her husband and children, Xiaoxue forced a smile.

In the next few days, Li Tianyi mailed his luggage out one after another, and finally planned to take his cotton-padded clothes with him.

Two days before departure, Xiao Zhou returned the jeep to the Academy of Sciences. This car was allocated by the Academy of Sciences to Li Tianyi. Now that Li Tianyi was leaving, he naturally could not drive it anymore.

The night before departure, the whole family sat together for dinner. This time, Li Tianhu also came back with his wife. Although everyone pretended nothing had happened, the atmosphere was still not lively.

That night, everyone did not eat very late because Li Tianyi and his friends had to catch a train in the early morning, so they needed to rest early.

Before Mr. Li and his friends went to rest, Li Tianyi handed them some money and tickets. Mr. Li didn't want them at first, but Li Tianyi stuffed them into their arms.

He doesn't want his parents to live a hard life, as he hasn't been able to fulfill his filial duties with them in the past few years.

Early the next morning, Li Tianyi's family and Xiao Zhou set off. Li's father helped them carry their luggage, while Li's mother and younger sister stood at the door to see them off. Until their figures disappeared, Li's mother was still standing at the door with tears already streaming down her cheeks.
