1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 332: Preparing a Thank-You Gift

Inside the He family's house, Sha Zhu helped bring the food to the table, and Chen Lanxiang went next door to wake up He Yushui to get up and eat.

He Daqing was sitting on a stool, holding his chubby grandson in his arms, with a smile on his face.

"Look, my eldest grandson is the most diligent one, he got up early, but your aunt Yushui is just a lazy cat, she is still sleeping in bed!"

He Yushui came in from outside rubbing her eyes, and heard He Daqing using her as a negative example. Of course, she was not happy to hear it.

"Dad, you can't do this. You don't want your eldest daughter anymore because you have a grandson. You can't be partial!"

He Daqing glanced at He Yushui and said with a smile: "Look at how old you are, and you still want to compete for the favor of my eldest grandson. Go wash your face and eat!"

"Dad, give me the child! Come to the table and eat!"

"No need, I'll just hold my grandson while he eats. Let's go! Grandson, go eat with grandpa!"

He Daqing really liked his eldest grandson and couldn't bear to put him down the moment he came home.

He even refused to give Chen Lanxiang a chance to hold the child, for fear that someone else would snatch his eldest grandson from him, and he refused to let go for even a moment.

Seeing his wife's helpless face, Sha Zhu said, "Dad, you will spoil the child like this."

"Yes, Dad, Aunt Li also said that children should not be spoiled with bad habits. If they are spoiled, they will be difficult to raise."

He Yushui thought of Grandma Li's words and echoed them.

"Okay, okay, Dad will listen to you. Just let my eldest grandson lie on the crib and I'll watch him eat. Okay! All of you should show your style and no one can snatch it from me."

Sha Zhu and Chen Lanxiang looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. They could only obediently move the child's crib next to He Daqing.

The family then sat together and happily ate breakfast.

At the dinner table, He Daqing told his children about his plans.

"Shazhu, after dinner, go to the supply and marketing cooperative with Lanxiang to buy some gifts, and bring a piece of pork from home. Let's go to the Li family to thank them. It's the weekend, and the Li family should be here."

He Daqing's voice was loud and his eyes were sincere.

Sha Zhu paused while picking up the food and replied with a smile, "Okay, Dad, we'll go buy some after we finish our meal."

Sha Zhu knew in his heart that the Li family had helped him and his siblings a lot over the years, and they should indeed thank them.

However, Sha Zhu had no intention of letting He Daqing pay for it. After all, the Jia family had just paid back more than 500 yuan, and he now had plenty of money on hand.

After dinner, He Yushui took the initiative to clean up the dishes while He Daqing coaxed the children in the house.

Sha Zhu went to the supply and marketing cooperative with Chen Lanxiang to choose a thank-you gift for the Li family.

Sha Zhu picked out two bottles of good wine, which were for Mr. Li, because the old man liked this kind of wine.

Chen Lanxiang suggested ordering two cans of food, saying that the Li family has many children and they would definitely like it. Then she chose two packs of peach cakes for Old Mrs. Li.

Thinking of the precious milk powder that Li Weiguo bought for his son, Sha Zhu added another two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy.

These things filled a big bag, and Sha Zhu and Chen Lanxiang carried it together. Both of their hands felt heavy.

When they got home, Sha Zhu obediently cut off a large piece of meat from the meat that He Daqing brought back. When the Li family ate meat, Aunt Li often asked the children to bring a bowl to Chen Lanxiang. He remembered all these favors.

He Daqing looked at the things that Sha Zhu and his wife bought, and took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from the big package. Only then did he feel satisfied.

"Well, that's about it. Let's go to the Li family to give the thank you gift!"

"Hey, Dad, let me carry the things!"

In this way, He Daqing walked outside holding his eldest grandson, followed by his son, daughter-in-law and daughter who were holding gifts in their hands.

As soon as he walked out of the house, he attracted the attention of neighbors.

"Hey, Daqing, where is your family doing?" someone asked curiously.

He Daqing did not hide his feelings and said loudly: "The Li family has been very kind to my son and daughter-in-law. We are here to express our gratitude."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in praise.

"Daqing, you did the right thing. If it wasn't for Old Madam Li who took care of sending Lanxiang to the hospital, your eldest grandson would be in danger!"

"That's right, Da Qing did a very good job. They are a grateful nation..."

He Daqing and his family gradually walked away amid the discussions of their neighbors.

When they saw the generous gifts in Sha Zhu and his companions' hands, they were so envious that their eyes almost fell out.

"Look, He Daqing has invested a lot of money this time!"

"What a rich thank-you gift! I counted six kinds!"

"Yes, there are two bottles of wine, two cans of food, two packs of peach cakes, and two packs of White Rabbit milk candies..."

"These gifts are already heavy enough, and Yu Shui also brought meat and cigarettes in his hands. Wow, what a generous gesture..."

The aunties in the courtyard were whispering and talking to each other, with envy in their eyes.

Yi Zhonghai stood behind his window and saw what happened clearly.

He looked at the He family's receding backs and clenched his fists again.

He was feeling very confused now, even his head was feeling foggy.

As the He family became friendly with the Li family, his situation became increasingly dire.

Yi Zhonghai knew clearly that he was the most dangerous person when He Daqing returned this time.

He had to face He Daqing, but what reason could he use to cover it up?

Yi Zhonghai was suddenly at a loss, and his eyes involuntarily looked towards the backyard.

The only person who can give him advice now is the deaf old lady in the backyard.

At this time, the Li family.

Li Weiguo saw the actions of He Daqing's family through his consciousness.

Today is the weekend, and he has been using the invincible detection radar to keep an eye on Yi Zhonghai's every move.

However, he did not expect He Daqing to do this and come to thank him personally with his whole family.

However, Li Weiguo did not think of reminding his family that it was a good thing that the He family came to express their gratitude, and there was no need for him to make a fuss.

Besides, today is the weekend and the whole family is here. The adults in the family will take care of this matter, and this fake child just needs to be a tool on the side.

He Daqing and his family soon arrived at the Li family's door.

Soon, someone knocked on the Li family's door.

In the yard, Grandpa Li was sitting on a recliner, drinking tea leisurely, while Grandma Li was tidying up the vegetable garden.

Wang Guifang and Wang Dahua had some rare free time and were washing bed sheets by the sink.

Brothers Li Dajiang and Li Dahe were cleaning bicycles by the pool and talking about factory matters while working.

Li Weimin and his brothers stayed in the house reading books. School would start tomorrow, and they were reviewing their lessons obediently.

As for Li Weiguo, he was coaxing his sister to play in the corner of the yard.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door. The people who were busy in the yard stopped their work and looked towards the door.

"Who is it? I'll go open the door!"

Grandpa Li stood up from his chair and strode towards the door.
