Siheyuan: Space takes me to exchange!

Li Xiuyuan left the hospital and walked on the street, looking at the once familiar scenes, feeling a little emotional.

No matter how long the journey is, there is always an end. Arriving in front of the somewhat dilapidated residential building, Li Xiuyuan walked in with firm steps.

When he knocked on the door, it was the white-haired old lady Xu. Seeing the other party's wide eyes, Li Xiuyuan walked forward, stretched out his arms and hugged the old lady.

"Grandma, I'm back." All the unpleasant past events have disappeared in the long river of time, leaving only the memories of family love between relatives.

Old Mrs. Xu was not used to such hugs. When she came to her senses, she pushed Li Xiuyuan away.

"Where have you been?"

"What do you want to do, kid? You've been away for so many years. Who do you want to make anxious? Do you know how many times your aunt has cried for you? How can you be so ignorant? Are you going to make adults worry about you for the rest of their lives..."

Li Xiuyuan was not annoyed by the old lady's complaints. Instead, he felt that the words that used to be harsh now sounded particularly kind.

In the evening, Li Fengmei's family came back, and everyone looked at Li Xiuyuan with disbelief when they saw him.

Li Xiuyuan was helpless.

Especially Li Fengmei, her eyes were wide open and her mouth opened as if she wanted to swallow Li Xiuyuan, and then she grabbed Li Xiuyuan and started crying and beating him.

Li Xiuyuan could only grit his teeth and endure it, while Xu Lan, who had grown into a big girl, watched with a smile on her face.

The eldest, Xu Hong, was part of the first batch of educated youth sent to the countryside. She has long since returned to the city to work and got married, and now has a four-year-old son.

The second child, Xu Qing, took the college entrance examination after it was resumed and is now a junior student at Beijing Normal University. However, he is married and has no children yet.

The third child, Xu Lan, is 25 years old. She did not take the college entrance examination and works at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Xu Lei also took the college entrance examination this year and was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Peking University.

Li Fengmei is now the director of the factory supply and marketing cooperative, and Xu Zhihui is now the director of the steel rolling mill.

After crying enough, Li Fengmei began to ask Li Xiuyuan where he had been all these years and why he didn't even send her a letter.

What did Li Xiuyuan say? He could only say it was confidential.

This made Li Fengmei so angry that she wanted to slap Li Xiuyuan.

Xu Zhihui seemed to be thinking about something. He stopped the irritable Li Fengmei and said, "Go buy some vegetables. Xiuyuan just came back. There will be plenty of time to ask later."

Li Fengmei thought about it and decided to hold back the questions she wanted to ask and went out to buy groceries.

She also asked Xu Lan to call Xu Hong, Xu Qing, and Xu Lei back so that the family could have a reunion dinner together.

The country still uses bills of exchange, but supplies are much more abundant and not as scarce as in previous years.

Li Fengmei borrowed some bills from her neighbors and quickly rode her bike to buy two kilograms of meat and a chicken. The fish was sold out and she didn't buy any. She also bought a lot of vegetables, white wine and candy.

At night, the Xu family was bustling with noise, and the house was filled with four generations of the family.

Soon Zhao Dantong also came, holding some gifts in her hands, and Li Xiuyuan gave money directly.

When Li Fengmei found out that Li Xiuyuan was married to Zhao Dantong, she was both angry and happy. Li Xiuyuan didn't even tell her about this, which made her so angry, leaving her completely unprepared.

She was so angry that she grabbed Li Xiuyuan and beat him up.

Zhao Dantong's arrival brought the atmosphere of the family dinner to a higher level.

Twelve people, big and small, sat closely together at a table. No one felt it was crowded and everyone had a smile on their face.

After dinner, Li Fengmei held Zhao Dantong's hand and said many caring words. She knew that Zhao Dantong's father was in the hospital, so she said that her nephew Li Xiuyuan would go to the hospital to take care of him. If he was too busy, there were plenty of people at home.

Zhao Dantong is very grateful to Li Fengmei. When she was not around, Xu Zhihui would go to accompany Zhao's father whenever he was free. Li Fengmei also often visited Zhao's mother, including during her hospitalization. Li Fengmei would cook and send meals to her when she had time, and Xu Zhihui would also go to help take care of her and keep watch when he had time.

When leaving Xu's house, Li Fengmei took out a big red envelope and insisted on giving it to Zhao Dantong, saying that it was the rule and also a token of her appreciation as an aunt.

Zhao Dantong couldn't refuse, so Li Xiuyuan asked her to accept it and subsidize her aunt in other ways in the future.

Later, Zhao Dantong opened the red envelope and found that there was quite a lot of money in it.

After reading it, Li Xiuyuan realized that the money contained in it was the money he gave to his aunt after work, and his aunt kept it for him. The extra money was a little gift from his aunt.

Later, Li Xiuyuan gave Li Fengmei a two-story courtyard house. Xu Hong and her siblings, as long as they were capable, joined Li Xiuyuan's company as executives.

Li Xiuyuan and Zhao Dantong strolled on the streets of the capital. There were no red lights, no roaring cars, no tall buildings or fashionably dressed men and women, but what they did have was peace of mind.

"Have you ever regretted it?" Li Xiuyuan asked Zhao Dantong.

Zhao Dantong understood what Li Xiuyuan was asking, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I feel a sense of responsibility, and I will still do the same thing if it happens again."

"What about you? I'm afraid you don't regret it, do you? After all, you've made a lot of money, and your life is full of excitement. I don't know what else you're missing from a life like this?"

These words stunned Li Xiuyuan. Yes, what else was he missing?

He has no shortage of money, the money he has now is enough for him to spend for more than ten lifetimes, and he has no shortage of women either. Status? He believes that in the near future, his wealth will be inestimable, his security company will be opened all over the world, and his military factory will not lack the world's top weapons. Then he will be the invisible king of the night!

Finally, he thought about it and decided that he probably still lacked family affection and the recognition from his relatives in his previous life. They didn't know how great his achievements were, just like a man in gorgeous clothes walking at night.

……

At night, Li Xiuyuan came to the hospital to keep vigil for Zhao's father. The two chatted a lot, and most of the topics they talked about were about Li Xiuyuan and Zhao Dantong living a good life and having a child as soon as possible.

He also asked Li Xiuyuan to stick to his original intention and not be tempted by bad things outside.

He also talked about many things he had done in the wars when he was young, and finally even mentioned his three sons.

Li Xiuyuan listened and felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, on the third day after they returned, Zhao's father died of illness in the hospital at the age of 69.

Li Xiuyuan asked the doctor and found out that Zhao's father not only had rheumatoid arthritis, but also had a serious stomach problem, but what killed him was liver cancer.

After Zhao's father's funeral was completed, Li Xiuyuan and his family were not in a hurry to leave because Zhao Dantong needed to stay at home with Zhao's mother for a while. The mother and daughter depended on each other to get through this difficult time.
