Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Yan Bugui agreed to Yan Jiekuang's request immediately, which made the whole family feel relieved.

The next morning, Yan Bugui went to the street office. No one knew who he was looking for, but when he came out, he not only had 200 yuan in his pocket, but he also told Yan Bugui his address, which was in a brigade in the Northeast.

After getting the address, Yan Bugui did not say anything. Even when the Jia family in the courtyard came to him to discuss a solution, Yan Bugui was vague about it.

Anyway, when Li Tianyi left the Li family, no news was heard. It can only be said that Yan Bugui did a good job of keeping secrets.

.........................................................

Back to Li Tianyi, the next day when his father and mother went to work, Li Tianyi took Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhao to the steel mill.

Originally, he wanted his parents to go by car, but Mr. Li and his family refused. Li Tianyi had no choice but to drive behind them.

When they arrived at the steel rolling mill, Li Tianyi was stopped by the security guards. Xiao Zhou went down to negotiate and only after he spoke to Li Huaide on the phone was Li Tianyi released.

Before I reached the office building, I saw Li Huaide and his secretary already standing downstairs.

The car stopped and Li Tianyi just got out, and Li Huaide enthusiastically pulled Li Tianyi upstairs.

People passing by saw this scene and were all wondering who this young man was. Some people thought Li Tian looked familiar, but they just couldn't remember where they had seen him.

In fact, it’s not their fault. Li Tianyi has left the steel mill for seven or eight years. It’s normal that they couldn’t think of it.

When they arrived at the office, the secretary served tea and then left, and the uncle and nephew began to chat.

Now the steel rolling mill is under the control of Li Huaide, and Director Li has become Director Li, but his father-in-law has also sounded the alarm for him, telling him not to go too far in everything. This coincides with Li Tianyi's instructions, so as long as it doesn't block his way, Li Huaide will still leave room for others.

The two chatted about their recent situation. Although Li Huaide was curious about Li Tianyi's work, he did not ask. His father-in-law had some connections, so he knew a little about Li Tianyi's work in the upper level.

So he also revealed a little to Li Huaide. When he learned that Li Tianyi had become a major general in his thirties, he would have jumped up with excitement if he had not been in his father-in-law's study.

But his father-in-law also warned him not to tell anyone about Li Tianyi. Li Huaide certainly understood the reason.

Now that he saw Li Tianyi, Li Huaide's heart was filled with pride. No matter how high his nephew's official position became, he, his uncle, still held weight in his heart.

Li Tianyi came here today to thank Li Huaide for telling him about his family affairs and to see how Li Huaide is doing now.

After the two chatted for a while, Li Tianyi said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Li Tianyi invited Li Huaide to bring his aunt to his home for dinner in the evening, and Li Huaide readily agreed.

This time, Li Huaide kept sending Li Tianyi to the car before returning to the office. When he arrived at the office, he immediately called home and told his wife that his nephew invited them to dinner in the evening and asked him to prepare something in advance.

After Li Tianyi left the steel rolling mill, he asked Xiao Zhao to go to the nearby market. When they arrived, Xiao Zhou got off the car to buy vegetables and meat. When they had bought almost everything, they went home.

At noon, the three of them went to a state-owned restaurant for a meal, since none of them knew how to cook.

In the afternoon, Li's mother went home early. Li Tianyi told her what happened today. Li's mother had no objection, so they began to prepare the ingredients.

In the evening, when Li's father came home from get off work, the yard was already filled with fragrance. Father Li didn't understand why and thought that Li's mother had prepared something delicious for Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi told his father when his uncle and others came. Father Li hurried to the house to find the good wine he had hidden. Since there were guests at home today, he had to have a good drink.

Since he got older, Mother Li has started to control Father Li, and tobacco and alcohol have been rationed, which makes Father Li suffer. However, facing his wife and leader, Father Li can only hold his nose and bear it.

My eldest brother and his family are coming over today, so isn't that a good opportunity for me to satisfy my craving? Father Li thought proudly.

Mother Li also saw what Father Li was thinking, and thought, I'll let you have some comfort today, and when everyone comes, I'll show you how I'll deal with you.

Mr. Li didn't know yet that his wine supply for the next week was all drunk tonight.

After a while, Li Huaide came with his aunt and grandson. All the children in their family were transferred to Sijiu City. His aunt had nothing to do at home but to take care of the children, so she brought her grandson with her this time.

When Mother Li saw the baby in the aunt's arms, she was extremely envious. She quickly took the baby over and went to get him some delicious food.

It's really unlucky that my two grandsons are far away in the Northeast. When I miss them, I can only look at their photos, or hear their voices when I go to the post office to make a phone call.

As for the girl in his second son's family, he had no idea what to do with her. Li's mother had accepted her, and the third son married so far away. Even if he wanted to see his grandson, there was nothing he could do.

So when Li's mother saw the child, she loved him very much.

The family was eating and drinking happily at the table. Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhao and Li Huaide's driver were also eating in the next room, but they were not allowed to drink.

While the Li family was enjoying themselves, Li Tianhu was distracted. It turned out that he had also seen his elder brother Li Tianyi this morning. Seeing his uncle enthusiastically pulling Li Tianyi upstairs, Li Tianhu was envious and jealous. After the steel mill GWH was established, Li Huaide was elected director, which also made Li Tianhu see how much power Li Huaide held.

Usually, Li Tianhu also tried to curry favor with Li Huaide, but Li Huaide was always indifferent to him. He could feel that Li Huaide was only maintaining a superficial relationship with him.

Li Tianhu didn't understand what was going on. He also wondered if Li's father and others had told Li Huaide about the family affairs, but this could not be confirmed.

Today I saw my eldest brother coming back. According to the custom in previous years, my family will definitely invite my uncle and others to dinner. So can I go and feel the situation out?

But Li Tianhu waited and waited, but his father never came to greet him. Even after get off work, Li Tianhu still hadn't seen anyone.

He had no choice but to go to Nanluoguxiang first. From a distance, he saw two cars parked at the gate. One of them belonged to his uncle, whom he knew. Li Tianhu was extremely angry when he saw this, but he had no way to deal with it.

The Li family has completely excluded him. Li Tianhu was still unhappy when he returned home. His wife and mother-in-law naturally noticed that he was in a bad mood. His wife asked him the reason, but Li Tianhu did not tell the truth. He knew that if his wife knew what happened today, who knows how big a trouble it would cause.
