Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

The tram was swaying, and Li Tianyi forced himself to stay awake and not let himself fall asleep. He really didn't get a good rest on the train before, and it could even be said that he was suffering. In the whole carriage, there was farting, grinding of teeth, snoring, and talking in sleep. Li Tianyi was speechless. What kind of fate brought all these things together in one carriage?

During the day, Li Tianyi wanted to have a good rest, but these people were chattering and shouting. Li Tianyi reminded them several times, but they didn't listen, and Li Tianyi could do nothing.

Finally the train arrived in Sijiucheng, and he couldn't wait to rush off the train. The train stopped near Nanluoguxiang, and Li Tianyi got off with his luggage.

It was just the time when people were getting off work, and there were some people in the alley. People who knew Li Tianyi were greeting each other, especially Yan Bugui. After seeing Li Tianyi, he trotted up to Li Tianyi. Li Tianyi couldn't ignore him, so he said something to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui's eyes were full of desire to share, which made it impossible for Li Tianyi to ignore. However, Li Tianyi was already very tired at this time, so he didn't want to chat about gossip with Yan Bugui here.

So Li Tianyi said, "Uncle, let's talk about it tomorrow. I just got off the train and I'm very tired."

Yan Bugui also noticed that Li Tianyi was not in good spirits, so he stopped talking and said, "Okay, let's talk after you have rested well."

Li Tianyi took out five candies from his pocket and handed them to Yan Bugui, "Uncle, this is the candy I bought in the Northeast. We don't have it here. Take it back and let your family try it."

"Hey, Tianyi, you are so polite." Yan Bugui took it with a smile.

Li Tianyi did not speak any more, but walked tiredly towards his own yard. After Yan Bugui and other figures of Li Tianyi completely disappeared, he turned around and went home.

Yang Ruihua looked at his wife curiously, "Why did you come in so early today?" In the past, Yan Bugui would never go back to the room until dinner time.

Yan Bugui opened his hand to show Yang Ruihua. Yang Ruihua saw that there were five candies. He had never seen the packaging before and asked, "Where did you get these?"

"Tianyi gave it to me. He just came back from a business trip. I think he went to the Northeast. I brought this from the Northeast."

"Really?" Yang Ruihua picked up one and smelled it. "It has a milky aroma!"

"Really?" Yan Bugui also smelled it curiously, "It really is, this might be milk candy."

"My dear, put it away quickly and don't let the children see it. Save it for the New Year."

"Okay, I'll hide now." Yang Ruihua took the candy and went into the inner room.

As soon as Li Tianyi entered the yard, An An hugged Li Tianyi's legs like a little cannonball, shouting "Dad, Dad."

Li Tianyi picked up An An and kissed her on the cheek. An An immediately pushed Li Tianyi's face and said, "Stinky, stinky, stinky daddy."

Li Tianyi burst into laughter. Father Li couldn't bear to see his grandson being bullied, so he immediately saved An An from Li Tianyi's stinky mouth.

An An patted her chest with her little hands and let out a sigh of relief, which also amused Father Li.

When Li's mother heard the noise in the kitchen, she came out to check. She was very happy to see that it was her eldest son who came back.

"Mom, you and Dad take care of An An first. I'm going to take a shower. I stink."

After saying that, he went into the house, then left the yard with the bath ticket and clothes.

An hour later, when Li Tianyi came back, all the family members were there and the meal was ready. They were just waiting for him.

After dinner, Li Tianyi took out a large bag of milk candy from his bag and handed it to his mother. "Mom, this is the milk candy I bought in Northeast China. When you and Dad are hungry at night, you can melt two milk candies in a bowl and drink them as milk."

Mother Li did not refuse and took it. Then Li Tianyi gave An An another small toy, which made An An giggle with joy.

The next morning, as soon as Li Tianyi opened the door, he saw Yan Bugui who was cleaning the gate of the courtyard. Li Tianyi thought of Yan Bugui's strong desire to share yesterday evening, so he moved closer to Yan Bugui.

"Good morning, Third Master."

"It's Tianyi. How are you? Have you rested?"

Li Tian nodded slightly, "Uncle, what did you want to tell me yesterday?"

Yan Bugui put down the broom, looked around, and saw that there was no one around. Then he said, "Tianyi, you don't know, a big thing happened in the yard these two days!"

"What's the big deal?" Li Tianyi asked curiously.

"This yard is haunted." Yan Bugui said mysteriously.

"What?" Li Tianyi thought he didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.

“Haunted!”

Li Tianyi rolled his eyes, "How is this possible?"

"Uncle, please don't say such things at this time. If someone reports you, you will be criticized."

"I know. Didn't I tell you?" Yan Bugui said in a low voice, "Don't disbelieve it. This is true."

"Who saw it?" Li Tianyi still didn't believe it. How could there be ghosts in this world? Even though he was a time traveler or a reborn one.

"Someone actually saw it. When Xu Damao came back from the countryside and passed by the middle courtyard, he saw a white shadow lying on the window of the Jia family. He thought it was a thief at first, so he shouted, but the shadow disappeared in an instant."

"Xu Damao fainted from shock. When everyone came out, they only saw Xu Damao lying in the middle courtyard. When Xu Damao was sent to the hospital, he woke up and said he saw a ghost. If his wife hadn't been quick to cover Xu Damao's mouth, Xu Damao would have definitely shouted in the ward."

"Xu Damao is still lying at home." Yan Bugui was terrified.

Li Tianyi felt a little scared after hearing this, but he also felt something was wrong.

But he had to rush to the Ministry of Industry and had no time to chat with Yan Bugui, so he said goodbye to Yan Bugui and went home for dinner.

After breakfast, Li Tianyi went to the Ministry of Industry to report on his work and reported the situation during this period to the senior leader. The senior leader was very satisfied after listening and gave Li Tianyi two days off to let him have a good rest. Two days later, they set off for Guangzhou.

Li Tianyi came out of the Ministry of Industry and rode his bike to the steel rolling mill. He needed to communicate with Li Huaide. He would be gone for another half a year, so he had to at least tell him.

When they arrived at the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide talked with Li Tianyi for a long time, mainly reminding Li Tianyi not to make mistakes abroad and to return safely.

Li Tianyi said he understood, then took out a bag of candy from his schoolbag and handed it to Li Huaide. Li Huaide put it in the drawer without even looking at what it was.

How could an uncle refuse his nephew's kindness? There was no interest involved, so Li Huaide accepted it with a clear conscience.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Tianyi appeared at the train station again with his luggage. This time he went to Guangzhou with the same team leader as last year. After seeing Li Tianyi, he shook hands with Li Tianyi very happily. When everyone arrived, they got on the train.

Soon the train took them away from the old city.
