Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Hearing this, Li Youquan stopped talking nonsense.

I squatted in front of the stall with the deaf old lady and waited for a long time.

During this process, the deaf old woman took off a small package from her body and began to sort out the things inside.

At first glance, there were only cigarettes, clothes and the like, nothing special.

But, this is exactly the strange thing.

Looking at the entire courtyard, including the deaf old lady, these beasts basically have no habit of smoking.

Looking at those clothes again, they are obviously men's, and the sizes seem to be for middle-aged men.

This made Li Youquan deeply suspicious.

And just as he was deep in thought.

Not far away, a burst of dense footsteps suddenly came.

Then, the deaf old lady who was squatting there stood up and waved: "This way!!"

Hearing the sound, several guys in the crowd, wearing black cloaks and wrapped tightly, quickly approached.

When the two parties met, there was not much words exchanged, not even any greetings.

More often, there is eye contact.

Soon, Li Youquan's stall was packed out.

The figures of the deaf old lady and others soon disappeared at the end of the black market.

When they met just now, Li Youquan looked at the figures of those people carefully.

He is totally different from those beasts who were on good terms with the deaf old lady in the courtyard.

This also means that those mysterious people in cloaks are basically ruled out as people inside the courtyard.

"It seems that things are not simple..."

Li Youquan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then he looked up at the sky.

"Okay, let's go back first!"

"If it's any later, Gu and Honghong will have to wait anxiously at home."

Li Youquan cleaned up the scene.

Then he hurriedly left the area where the black market was located.

After walking away, Li Youquan walked around the area a few times just to be on the safe side.

With the blessing of the spiritual spring water, Li Youquan walked very fast. After walking around for a long time, it didn't take him long to return to Nanluoguxiang.

Soon, they returned to the compound.

"Youquan, why did you come back just now?"

"Where have you been today?"

At this time, at home.

Li Huifen was busy making dumplings in the house.

When he heard that Li Youquan had returned, he immediately patted the flour off his hands and came out to greet him with a worried look on his face.

"From now on, you'd better go home early before dark. Today I heard from your uncle Zhou that things are not going well in Nanluoguxiang recently!"

"Several households have been robbed, and have lost either clothes or food."

As she spoke, Li Huifen seemed to remember something and pointed to the large bedroom in her home. "Oh, by the way, speaking of this, Youquan, when did you ask Lao Zhou to make new furniture for us?"

"This morning when I came back from selling vegetables, he was waiting for me at the door of our house. There was a large round table for eating, and a set of chairs and benches."

"Lao Zhou said that he would make a new bed for each of our family members later. I asked him to pay for it...but he refused, saying that you had already paid him a long time ago."

Looking at Li Huifen's confused expression.

Li Youquan couldn't help but smile knowingly: "Aunt, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have already arranged everything."

"The New Year is almost here! I was thinking of spending some money to tidy up our house."

"Look, look at these broken tables and chairs in our house. They have been used for many years and it is time to replace them."

As he spoke, Li Youquan also walked into the bedroom and took out the newly made tables, chairs and benches one after another: "Auntie, these furnitures are meant to be used. How can we let them gather dust in the house after they have been made?"

"I know you can make a living, but if you ask me, you should save money, spend money, and use things that should be used!"

"Also, if these old tables, chairs and benches are getting in the way in the house, we can give them to the old Gong family in the front yard. He is a poor family living alone and has no decent furniture at home."

"They spoke for us and voted for us during the plenary session. It is only right that we should help them."

Seeing that Li Youquan had made up his mind, Li Huifen smiled and nodded, then went back to make dumplings.

"Hey? Auntie, where did Honghong go?"

"You bought so much minced meat, why don't you ask Honghong to help you?"

Li Youquan looked around the living room, but couldn't see Honghong.

Seeing this, Li Huifen made a gesture to keep quiet and pointed to the small bedroom in her house.

"Honghong, I read books all day at home today. She told me that I overworked my brain and went to bed early."

Upon hearing this, Li Youquan also smiled silently.

At such a young age, does he know that he is overusing his brain?

But this enthusiasm for reading is good.

"I have to say it, aunt."

"Honghong has always been interested in things for a short time, but reading is the only thing that can keep her sitting still."

"In the future, maybe I'll really be the right material!"

As Li Youquan spoke, he washed his hands in the basin, sat opposite Li Huifen, and helped her make dumplings.

"When I have time someday, I'll take Honghong to buy a few more books."

"School will start after the New Year, and I'll pay her tuition. From now on, maybe we'll have a college student in our family!"

Li Huifen smiled and shook her head, whispering, "To be honest, Youquan, Honghong is a girl, and I don't expect her to achieve much in her studies."

"As long as I can grow up safely and healthily and find a reliable partner, that's all."

"When you find a partner and get married, and Honghong also gets married, I won't have anything to worry about in my life, and I can go down there and look for Honghong's father with peace of mind!"

The older generation of this era mostly expects women in their family to get married and start a family.

But Li Youquan, as a time traveler, has a different opinion.

According to the memory of later generations.

The college entrance examination was discontinued in 66.

The college entrance examination was resumed 10 years later, in 1977.

Right now, Honghong is about to go to primary school.

The span of more than ten years in between is enough.

Compared to later generations, in this era, knowledge can truly change one’s destiny.

"Aiya, who can tell what will happen in the future?"

"Now our life is getting better. What you need to do is to take good care of your health and work less."

"Don't really think that Honghong and I will have our own families in the future and we can stop caring about anything."

"Who knows, in a few years, you may have to help me take care of the children! When that time comes, you will be busy!"

Li Youquan chuckled, which made Li Huifen smile from ear to ear.

Compared with the bursts of laughter and joy in Li Youquan's family.

At this time, outside the courtyard, at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang.

The deaf old lady took off her disguise and was whispering to a middle-aged man with a sad face.

Soon, several other figures in cloaks emerged from various places in Nanluoguxiang.

"Captain, we have checked it out."

"From the time we left Pigeon City until now, there has been no sign of anyone following us."

"However, just in case, it would be better for us to find a chance to leave the city as soon as possible."
