1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Weiguo walked out of the room and saw his grandfather sitting on a small stool guarding the gate of the yard.

"Grandpa, why are you sitting there? The sun is very hot!" Li Weiguo hurried forward.

"Weiguo, wake up! It's your grandma. She said you were too tired last night and didn't want anyone to disturb your rest, so she asked grandpa to guard the door and be your door god!" Grandpa replied with a smile.

"Grandpa, you don't have to watch over me anymore. I'm still young and I'll be refreshed after a short sleep! You can get more sun like this!"

Li Weiguo hurried over and helped his grandfather up.

The old man sat under the strong sunlight, his forehead turned red and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

Seeing this scene, Li Weiguo felt a warm feeling in his heart. His grandparents really doted on him. He had never experienced such love and care in his previous life. In this life, he finally felt this warmth as he wished.

But my grandfather didn't care. For someone who had worked in the fields all his life, a little bit of sun exposure was nothing.

He was afraid that if he wasn't paying attention, someone would come to the door and make a noise, and they would wake up their eldest grandson.

He stood up with a smile, leaned close to Li Weiguo's ear, lowered his voice and said softly: "Weiguo, your grandma made you a pure cornmeal steamed bread with pumpkin in it. It tastes fragrant and sweet. Go get one from the pot and try it!"

This was specially prepared by the old woman for her eldest grandson. No one else has this honor.

"Well, Master, I'll go eat now!"

When he heard his grandfather say that there were steamed corn breads to eat, Li Weiguo couldn't help swallowing his saliva and couldn't wait to try one.

After walking such a long distance back and forth last night, he and his second uncle were exhausted when they came back. After waking up from a nap, they were starving.

Fortunately, he had been busy these two days and brought a lot of food to the family, otherwise we would only have to eat wild vegetable porridge at grandma's house.

He walked quickly to the basin in the yard, washed his face quickly, shook off the water droplets on his hands, and then strode towards the kitchen.

He lifted the lid of the pot and saw a few golden steamed buns inside, still steaming.

Li Weiguo couldn't wait to stretch out his hands, grabbed a steamed bun each, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Mmm! It smells so good. The steamed bread made by grandma is so delicious!

He wolfed down two steamed buns, and his stomach was finally no longer empty.

"Grandpa, please go back to the house and rest for a while. I'll go around the village."

At this moment, he was determined to try out his invincible treasure hunting skills, and his heart was itching like a cat scratching!

"Okay! But don't run too far, or your grandma will definitely look for you when she comes back!"

"knew···"

As he spoke, Li Weiguo had already walked out of the courtyard and was striding towards the village.

Lijia Village is not a very big village, but it is hard to say whether there are any treasures hidden here.

However, deep in Li Weiguo's childhood memories, there is such a rumor.

According to the old people in the village, during the Anti-Japanese War, there was a secret ammunition depot of the Japanese devils nearby.

After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the authorities sent personnel to look for this ammunition depot many times, but unfortunately they were never found.

Although this was just a rumor, he still wanted to try his luck.

Li Weiguo thought to himself, maybe he could try to explore the area, maybe he would find something unexpected?

If we can really find this ammunition depot, it would be a small contribution to the country.

After all, he has been eager to do his part for the country over the years.

Lijia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it a great place to hide items.

For the past two days, Li Weiguo had been hunting in the hills behind the village.

This back mountain connects the low hills between two high mountains. It is not high in altitude and the terrain is relatively flat, making it very suitable for climbing.

Villagers often go to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables because it is safer there.

In contrast, few people pay attention to the mountains on the left and right sides.

These two mountains are steep and dangerous. It is said that wild animals often appear in the mountains, so villagers rarely set foot in these two areas.

For most villagers, climbing these two high mountains is simply an adventure, and one could encounter unexpected events if one is not careful.

But he was afraid he couldn't go now, as it was almost noon and he had to go home for lunch soon.

Li Weiguo wandered around the streets and alleys of the village. Whenever the old men and women in the village saw him, they would talk to him.

"Isn't this the Weiguo of the Dajiang family? Didn't he go hunting in the mountains today?"

The news that Li Weiguo hunted a wild boar yesterday has spread throughout Lijia Village.

Everyone's life is hard these days, and having enough to eat is just a delusion. The food in the village canteen is wild vegetable soup, not to mention the villagers' homes, where all are running out of food and ammunition.

Lijia Village is where Li Quanfu's family lives. They have the help of their eldest son Li Dajiang from the city, so they eat better than other families.

"Sixth Grandpa, I didn't go up the mountain today. I wanted to walk around the village. You are doing well!"

"Well... thanks to you, I had a bowl of delicious pork soup last night. I finally had some meat this year! You are worthy of being Li Dajiang's offspring, you are capable!"

"Well... I'm also lucky..."

Li Weiguo scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

He knew in his heart that he was able to kill the little wild boar because of the system. Without the system, no matter how capable he was, he would not have been able to kill the wild boar easily.

Sixth Grandpa praised him in front of him like this, and this sentence made this grown man who was already in his thirties in his previous life feel a little shy and his face turned red.

Grandpa Liu smiled and said, "You are lucky and have good skills. It is not easy for ordinary people to catch that wild boar!"

Hearing this, Li Weiguo smiled modestly and said that he was not worthy of the title.

Then he said goodbye to Sixth Grandpa, "Sixth Grandpa, please go ahead and do your work. I will come to visit you again if I have time!"

Sixth Grandpa smiled and responded, "Okay, okay, go ahead!"

I have to say, the villagers are really enthusiastic!

I had just said hello to Sixth Grandpa when an aunt came over from the opposite direction.

She shouted enthusiastically: "Weiguo, where are you going? Come on, come to my house and have a seat!"

This auntie is the one who is in charge of cooking in the village kitchen. According to seniority, Li Weiguo should call her Fourth Auntie.

Li Weiguo quickly waved his hand and declined, "No, Fourth Aunt, I'm just strolling around."

Despite this, Fourth Auntie remained enthusiastic and continued to invite, "Then remember to come to our house when you have time..."

Li Weiguo walked further and further away, but when he looked back, he still saw his fourth aunt standing there talking to his sixth grandfather.

The villagers are like this. When they meet on the road, they always have to chat for a few minutes, otherwise they would feel embarrassed to just walk past them.

This simple human touch fills the entire village with a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
