Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

At this time, Li Huaide was contacting his superiors to request the allocation of parts. Li Tianyi walked into the office. Li Huaide pointed at the phone. Li Tianyi nodded and then sat on the sofa.

After a while, Li Huaide put down the phone, "Mr. Li, aren't you going home?"

"Director Li, I want to ask about the housing allocation." Li Tianyi then told him about his family's situation, including the fact that he bought land and built a house. "Do you think I still meet the requirements for housing allocation?"

Li Huaide did not speak immediately, but sat on the sofa and began to think.

"Mr. Li, according to the regulations, you already have your own residence, so you don't meet the requirements for housing allocation. However, your parents are both old employees of the factory, and there are many children in your family, so there is no room for everyone. Therefore, the factory can allocate a room for your parents."

"Director Li, will this embarrass you? If it violates the regulations, we must not do it."

Li Huaide smiled and thought to himself that despite his young age, this young man was quite cautious.

"It's okay. Originally you were supposed to be given three rooms when you joined the factory, but since you built it yourself, these three rooms are left. It's only reasonable to give your family one now."

"Thank you, Director Li." Li Tianyi stood up and bowed slightly to Li Huaide to express his gratitude.

Li Huaide quickly supported Li Tianyi, "Mr. Li, you're welcome."

Afterwards, Li Huaide took out an atlas, which recorded the courtyard houses belonging to the steel rolling mill. Li Tianyi took a look and saw that in the courtyard No. 95 where he was located, the five back houses in the front yard and the three back houses in the back yard had not been allocated yet.

Li Tianyi thought about it and chose the back house next to his own house. Li Huaide wanted to persuade him, after all, this was the only chance to allocate a house, so he had to choose a satisfactory one.

Li Tianyi explained to him that this place was close to his home and it would be convenient for his family to use.

Seeing that Li Tianyi had made up his mind, Li Huaide said nothing more. He then wrote him a note and told him to take it to the street office to find Director Wang.

After thanking him, Li Tianyi left the office. He first went to the street office to find Director Wang to handle the formalities.

At first, Director Wang was shocked when she saw the note Li Tianyi handed over. She thought Li Tianyi was hiding the fact that he owned a house and that the factory had allocated housing to him.

But when she took the note and looked at it, she saw that the name written on it was Zhang Guifen, the name of Li Tianyi's mother. Only then did Director Wang feel relieved. However, she still asked more questions because she didn't want Li Tianyi to ruin his life because of this matter.

Li Tianyi told Director Wang everything that happened today. Director Wang looked at Li Tianyi with even more affectionate eyes. On his first day at work, Li Tianyi saved the factory tens of thousands of dollars in repair costs. This young man has a bright future.

The matter was clear now. Director Wang quickly completed the formalities for him and then handed the key to Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi walked out of the street office and went to the department store. In the department store, Li Tianyi was also an eye-catching presence. He was tall and handsome. Because he went to report today and was dressed neatly, many girls who came to the department store secretly looked at him.

Li Tianyi was already immune to these looks. He had been living under the curious gazes of others since he was a child. Li Tianyi went to the bicycle counter on the second floor, paid the money and got the ticket, then rode his bicycle to the police station.

After stamping the documents and coming out of the police station, it was already late, so Li Tianyi rode his bike back to the courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, Yan Bugui was tending to his flowers and plants. Hearing the bicycle bell, he quickly looked up and saw Li Tianyi pushing a brand new bicycle into the gate.

"Tianyi, what are you doing?" he said, pointing at the bicycle.

"Uncle, isn't this me reporting to the steel mill today? I helped the factory solve a problem, and the factory director rewarded me with a bicycle ticket so that I can buy a bicycle so that it will be convenient for me to go to and from get off work."

"Ah? You were assigned to the steel rolling mill? Oh, why is there no news at all? Which department are you assigned to?" The third uncle was quite surprised. There had been rumors in the hospital that Li Tianyi was expelled and had not been assigned a job. Although Yan Bugui had never believed it, he had been worried about it seeing that Li Tianyi had been staying at home.

Unexpectedly, he went directly to the steel rolling mill to start work today, and was able to meet the factory director. It seems that Li Tianyi's job should not be easy.

"Hey, isn't this the job assigned by the school? It's the technical department. It's just a technician."

"Okay, Uncle, let's stop talking for now. I'm going home first and will pick up my little sister later."

"Okay, Tianyi, you go ahead and do your work."

Afterwards, Li Tianyi went to the school to pick up his younger sister after school. At this time, Li's father and mother also returned home. The news that Li Tianyi was employed by the steel rolling mill and was assigned to the technical department spread throughout the courtyard.

After Li Tianyi left the steel mill in the afternoon, the steel mill radio station announced the reward for Li Tianyi: 200 yuan and a bicycle ticket.

So the courtyard was quite lively tonight. No matter what everyone thought, when they saw Mr. Li, Mrs. Li came forward to congratulate them.

Seeing that all his family members were present, Li Tianyi suggested that they go eat roast duck tonight to celebrate. No one objected, so Li's father took Li's mother, and Li Tianyi took his younger sister to the roast duck restaurant.

Before leaving, Li Tianyi gave the third uncle some candies and asked him to close the store late tonight. The third uncle agreed with a smile.

In the roast duck restaurant, Li Tianyi ordered two roast ducks, and then asked the restaurant to cook the duck bones with cumin flavor for him to take away.

After everyone sat down at the dining table, Li Tianyi told the story of Li Huaide.

Li Youde was very excited after hearing this. He had no news from his elder brother for so many years, and he didn't expect to hear news from his son today.

After that, Li Tianyi said for a while that Li Huaide was also here, and you can recognize him and see if he is a real brother.

The roast duck was not ready yet when Li Huaide came with his wife. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Li Tianyi sitting in the room.

Li Tianyi also saw them, so he stood up and waved to them. Li Huaide and his wife walked over.

"Director Li, you are here, come and sit over here."

"Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to come so early." Li Huaide sat down politely, but his eyes were fixed on Li Youde.

Li Huaide's wife also smiled and sat down. Before coming here, Li Huaide told her the purpose of his visit today. Although he looked down on this family in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

Of course Li Tianyi noticed her politeness and distance, but he didn't care. He facilitated the reunion between Li Huaide and his father, not because he wanted anything from Li Huaide, but just wanted his father to let go of his worries.

Li Huaide and Li Youde stared at each other for a long time before Li Huaide spoke softly, "Second boy."

Li Youde also had tears in his eyes and called out, "Big Brother."

At this point, the two brothers who had not seen each other for 20 years were reunited.
