Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

He Yuzhu and He Yushui returned to the courtyard in a daze. Yi Zhonghai came out immediately and asked, "Zhuzi, why are you back? Did you buy the ticket?"

"Uncle Yi, I met my father at the station. He explained everything to me and arranged for me to work in the canteen of the steel mill. But in the end, my father left."

"Well, how do you and your sister plan to live in the future?" Yi Zhonghai sighed, but he was very nervous.

"My father told me to consult you and Aunt Yi if I have anything to ask. I also want Aunt Yi to help keep an eye on Yu Shui."

Yi Zhonghai nodded calmly, but in fact he was very happy inside. The old lady was right, as long as he was nice to Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu would repay him.

"It's nothing. Your Aunt Yi doesn't have much to do, so just leave the rain to her. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the factory and get the job done. By the way, go check on the old lady in the backyard. You haven't been there these days, and she misses you."

"Okay, I'll leave Yu Shui with you, and I'll go to the backyard first." Then he put the Yu Shui in his arms on the ground, "Yu Shui, you go home with Uncle Yi first, I'll be there in a while."

He Yushui looked up at Sha Zhu, then looked at Yi Zhonghai, and then let go of the hand that was holding the corner of Sha Zhu's clothes.

The next morning, Sha Zhu followed Yi Zhonghai to the factory. The work was arranged smoothly and the canteen director did not make it too difficult for him. He just asked Sha Zhu to cook a dish and asked the factory leaders to taste it.

Sha Zhu's cooking skills may be lacking in some big restaurants, but they are more than enough to make big pot dishes in a factory.

Before they knew it, it was time to start school. Li's mother took her younger brother, younger sister and Yan Bugui to the elementary school to register her younger brother, while Li Tianyi went to the new school by himself.

During this period, Li Tianyi has received royalties twice. In addition to handing over 50 yuan to his mother each time, he has also saved about 300 million yuan for himself. He wants to buy a bicycle so that it will be more convenient for him to go out and go to school.

Father Li also supported his idea. In fact, Father Li had wanted to buy it a long time ago, but Mother Li had been pressuring him, so Father Li did not take action.

Now the eldest son also wants to buy a bicycle. After considering it, Mother Li agreed to go to the department store on Sunday to have a look.

Nowadays, the country still allows private transactions, and Li Tianyi plans to buy back the three major items one after another. Otherwise, when the ticket era comes, he will not be able to buy things even if he has money without a ticket.

A week passed quickly. Li Tianyi went to school and came home every day, and translated books at night. His life was very fulfilling.

On Saturday, Li's mother and father were off work, so they took the children out early in the morning. When they came back, father Li was pushing a brand new Forever bicycle with his younger brother and sister sitting on it. The two children were touching and looking at things and looked very happy.

"Old Li, did your family buy a bicycle?" Yan Bugui looked at Li's father with envy, his eyes almost glued to the bicycle.

The old ladies who were chatting in the yard also came over and looked here and there, but they didn't dare to go forward and touch.

"Yes, Tianyi School is too far from home, so I bought him a bicycle so that it would be more convenient for him to go to and from school."

Yan Bugui nodded. He knew Li Tianyi's situation. It was true that the school was a bit far from the courtyard.

"Old Li, you just bought a bicycle. Do you want to invite everyone to celebrate?" Yan Bugui leaned close to Li's father and whispered.

Father Li glanced at him. This stingy old man would not miss any opportunity to take advantage.

"Tianyi, distribute the candies you bought to everyone."

Li Tianyi stepped forward and gave each of the old ladies 5 candies, "My family doesn't have much money to treat you to a meal after buying a bicycle, so I bought these candies for you. I hope you don't mind."

"We don't mind, we don't mind." Everyone said.

After taking the candy, Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "Old Li, if there is something in the compound that requires you to borrow your bicycle, will you lend it to me?"

Li Tianyi and Li's father looked at each other, and Li's father said, "Of course we will lend it to you. As long as it's for business, we will lend it to you. But if someone breaks down their bicycle, you have to ask them to fix it first and then return it to me. It can't be good when you borrow it and broken when you return it. Don't you agree, Sister Jia?"

Jia Zhang didn't say anything, but turned back to the house. She originally thought that the Li family had just bought a bicycle, so they would definitely not want to lend it out, otherwise they would offend the people in the courtyard. Who knew that the Li family was so generous and really willing to lend it. Although there was no conflict between her family and the Li family, Jia Zhang felt uncomfortable when she saw that the Li family was doing so well. She was jealous.

In the front yard, everyone was very happy after hearing what the Li family said. Moreover, what the Li family said was right. They couldn't just use it without repairing it.

Yan Bugui stood silently by the side. Although he was not sure how much money Li Tianyi had earned during this period, he knew that Li Tianyi had submitted translation manuscripts three times. He estimated that the translation fee was at least 200 million.

Of course he would not expose Li Tianyi. Not to mention that the Li family had a good relationship with his family, he was now learning Russian with Li Tianyi.

At the beginning of the school year, he asked the principal about the foreign language award, and the principal said that there was indeed such an award. Yan Bugui did not apply for it now, as he wanted to study more and go when he could really speak some Russian.

More than a month passed, and a major event happened in our country. Our lovely soldiers went to the border to fight against foreign invaders.

People from all walks of life across the country enthusiastically donated money and materials to support the country in winning this great war, and Li Tianyi also donated the money he had earned recently to the Military Control Commission.

During this period, apart from buying a bicycle, he did not buy any big items. He just occasionally gave his younger brother and sister 200 or yuan in pocket money, so he still has million yuan left in his hands.

He had told his parents about this before going to the Military Control Commission, and his parents supported him. However, when the Military Control Commission received such a large sum of money from Li Tianyi, they were shocked at first, and then they suspected that the child had stolen money from the family. Although donating to the country is a good thing, children are not encouraged to donate money without telling their parents.

Li Tianyi had no choice but to take out his translation certificate and explain to the comrades here that this was all the money he earned by translating books.

The comrade here called to verify Li Tianyi's situation, and then accepted the money and praised Li Tianyi's patriotic behavior. Li Tianyi asked the comrade to help not spread the matter. He said that he was still young and did not want to become famous so early.

Later, the director of the Military Control Commission also heard about this matter. After thinking about it, he agreed to Li Tianyi's proposal and suppressed the matter.
