1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Weiguo knew that there was a lot of knowledge involved in collecting antiques and collectibles. He had never come into contact with these things, whether in his past or present life.

"What's the big deal? We can just pick up the well-preserved, old items and keep the valuable ones first, so that they won't sell the good things at a low price!"

What Grandma Li said made sense. If there were really good things in the village, the villagers could really take them out and exchange them for food in order to survive in this year of famine.

"Don't worry about it, your second aunt and I can handle it!"

Now the family has wild boar meat and game, and there is a lot of food stored at home, so there will be no shortage of food for the time being. Grandma Li has made a plan in her mind.

Li Weiguo didn't expect Grandma Li to be so insightful. No wonder she was able to support his second grandfather's family.

It is not easy for most people to make a living, but Grandma Li can save food from her teeth to help others. This shows her ability to manage the household.

"Don't just stand there, your parents went to your grandma's house to send wild boar meat, and your second uncle went to your aunt to send meat! Come over here to help me light the fire, and keep an eye on Xiaohong!"

"Okay, grandma!"

Li Weiguo went to the kitchen to help with cooking.

When night falls, every household in Lijia Village is filled with fragrance, and the aroma of meat is everywhere in the village.

In the end, Grandma Li gave the pig bones to the villagers, but she didn't give away the pig organs this time.

There are already a lot of bones from the two wild boars. If we give them some pig offal as well, it would be too much and would make the villagers develop the habit of eating and taking things for free.

What's more, the Li family also donated a pound of meat. No other family could compare to this.

Li Dajiang and his wife were the last to return. Wang Guifang's parents' home was in Dawangzhuang, next to Qinjia Village, three miles away from Lijia Village.

When they went there, Li Dahe took Li Dajiang there on a bicycle, but when they came back, the couple walked back.

However, the family did not eat in advance, but waited for them to come back and eat together.

Li Weiguo saw his mother Wang Guifang's red eyes and knew that she had been crying.

When he was helping to make the fire, his grandmother mentioned that this time she had sent ten kilograms of mixed grain flour, a piece of lard, and five kilograms of wild boar meat to his grandmother's house.

Because Wang Guifang has to go to work, she seldom has time to go back to her parents' home. I guess she must be sad because she doesn't stay there for long.

Li Weiguo put down the chopsticks in his hand and comforted Wang Guifang.

"Mom, don't be sad. When we have the means, we'll buy you a bicycle. Then you can go to grandma's house anytime you want!"

Wang Guifang was stunned when she heard her son's words, then she grinned and said, "Buy me a bicycle too? I'm looking forward to it!"

"Mom, my son keeps his word. Just wait!"

Li Weiguo spoke with confidence. He already had the bicycle in his space, and when the time was right, he would take it out from the space.

"Haha... my Weiguo is still filial!"

At this moment, Wang Guifang felt sweeter than eating honey.

"Sister-in-law is so lucky to have a caring son like Weiguo. Weidong and the others will eat!"

Second Aunt said enviously.

"His second aunt, look at what you said, Weidong and the others are only so old, Weiguo is the eldest in the family, it's normal for him to be sensible early!"

"Yes, yes, these children in our family are all great!"

Grandma Li looks at her grandchildren at home and loves them all very much.

Especially the little granddaughter in his arms, he didn’t want to let go for even a moment.

"Is grandma okay? Where's uncle? Is he missing me?"

"Good, very good! Your uncle was so happy when he heard that you killed two wild boars, and your grandma also said that she would let you go to Dawangzhuang when you have time!"

"Haha... Weiguo will be the busy man of the family in the future. I tell you, I saw Weiguo's ability with my own eyes when I went up the mountain today!"

"You can always hit the target by shooting stones at birds. That little wild boar was blinded by Weiguo using stones!"

Li Dahe couldn't remember how many times he had talked about this matter, and he felt proud every time he talked about it.

"Second uncle, I'm not that great..." Li Weiguo was still not used to being praised in person, and his face turned red again.

"How can it not be powerful? The axe chopped on the wild boar bones, and people had to use all their strength to get it off. If it wasn't powerful, it could have killed the wild boar with one blow!"

Grandpa Li said this without a doubt while drinking the wine that Li Weiguo brought back from the black market.

"Weiguo, you don't have to be so modest. Grandpa thinks you are as good at hunting as your father!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Dajiang, wanting to get Li Dajiang's approval.

"Weiguo is indeed more powerful than me. I saw the injuries of the little wild boar. Two stones were stuck in its eye sockets. His strength and accuracy are better than mine!"

"Yes, yes...your village uncle said that Weiguo is this!"

Grandpa Li smiled and gave Li Weiguo a thumbs up, unable to conceal the pride on his face.

"It's all thanks to my father and second uncle's good teaching!"

As far as Li Weiguo could remember, he had gone up the mountain with the Li Dajiang brothers.

Naturally, I learned the hunting skills from them.

"Haha... Village Chief Weiguo said that you are better than your teacher. Our Li family will rely on you from now on!"

The elders in the family all praised Li Weiguo for his ability, but the children were only focused on eating the rabbit meat and no one was willing to speak.

Everyone ate a lot at this meal, especially Grandpa Li and his friends, who drank their wine with great relish. If Grandma Li hadn't urged them, the father and his sons wouldn't have wanted to leave the table.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, the village chief sent his cousin, Xin Chuang, to drive a donkey cart and wait at his door.

"Brother Dajiang, my father asked me to come and take you back to the city!"

"Alas! Here we come!"

Because they had to go to work, the Li family got up very early today.

Li Weiguo woke up and before he had time to sign in, Li Dajiang rushed him to wash his face and eat.

Li Weimin and Li Weijun were still confused and were also dragged up by Wang Guifang.

After a burst of urging, the two of them walked sleepily to the basin to wash their faces.

"You two brats, hurry up and wash your faces and go eat. Your new uncle is coming here with his donkey cart! Don't keep him waiting any longer!"

"Sister-in-law, don't rush them. I came here early on purpose just to help with some work. Brother Dahe, let me help you carry the wild boar meat."

"Great! Xin Chuang is thoughtful!"

In the end, only Li Weihong was left who had not woken up yet. Her grandmother felt so sorry for her little granddaughter that she didn't want to let them wake her up.

"You guys go back first, and let Xiaohong stay in her hometown for a few more days. When she doesn't want to stay anymore, we'll send her back!"

Wang Guifang looked embarrassed, not because she couldn't bear to leave her child, but because her parents-in-law were old and she was afraid of tiring them out.

"The child is too young and is making a lot of noise. It will tire you out!"

Li Dajiang saw Wang Guifang's embarrassment and spoke.

"How could I be so tired? I have raised all the grandchildren in my family. Anyway, there are donkey carts in the village. If Xiaohong doesn't want to live here anymore, I will send her back!"
