Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 6 Persuasion
"Dad, I don't want to live like a borer in this life. No matter whether I live or die after going to the countryside this time, at least I can proudly tell people that I am your son, instead of letting people say that I am a waste who only stays at home and eats free meals. Please give me a chance and let me do something for our family!"

Seeing that Li Dawei's attitude had softened, Li Guoqiang hurriedly spoke again to express his reasons for doing so, hoping to convince Li Dawei in one fell swoop.

When Li Dawei heard Li Guoqiang calling him a parasite and a waste, a look of heartache instantly appeared on his face, and then he quickly spoke to comfort him: "Don't think so, and don't listen to those people who are full of shit. In my heart, you have always been my good son."

"Besides, the reason your body is like this is because I didn't take good care of your mother back then. How can I blame you?"

"Over the years, I have been thinking almost every day, if I had taken better care of your mother back then, then our family of three would definitely be living a happy life now!"

When he said this, tears welled up in his eyes and his face revealed a deep longing.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel silent.

Although his previous life had never seen his biological mother in person, whether from the words of Li Dawei or the neighbors in the yard, a picture of a stunning figure had already been drawn in his mind, making him proud to have such a good mother.

After a while, Li Dawei calmed down a little and then looked at Li Guoqiang's handsome and gentle face.

picture,
It’s so similar!

Shuping, did you see it?

The son you risked your life to give birth to for me has grown up now!

I remember you once told me that you hoped our child would grow up to be a great hero like Yue Fei or a heroine like Mu Guiying.

Now, he wants to share the worries of his family and wants to go to the countryside to serve his motherland. Can you tell me what he should do?

Perhaps, you will choose to support him, right?
Thinking of this, Li Dawei moved his lips slightly, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Since you have made up your mind, then go!"

"From now on, when you go out alone, you have to learn to take care of yourself. Your stepmother, your sister, and your brother and I will all be waiting for you to return safely at home."

"If you really have an accident, wait until I go downstairs, and I will go with you to find your mother."

"Then our family of three will be reunited!"

When he said this, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"Dad, don't worry! I will take good care of myself. And this time I was assigned to the three northeastern provinces. I may be able to find a hundred-year-old ginseng in the future to complete the prescription written by the old imperial physician! When the time comes, I will come back safe and sound to fulfill my filial duty to you!"

When Li Guoqiang saw that Li Dawei finally nodded in agreement, he instantly felt relieved and hurriedly said a few words to comfort him.

"Really? Is there really a chance to find a hundred-year-old ginseng?"

When Li Dawei heard what Li Guoqiang said, his expression instantly became excited.

He remembered that the skilled old imperial physician had once said that if he could find a hundred-year-old ginseng to complete the prescription, and then take the medicine for a year or so, Li Guoqiang would be able to get rid of his reputation as a sickly person and become a normal person.

However, their family is just ordinary civilians. How difficult would it be to get a hundred-year-old ginseng?

Not to mention that you have to keep taking medicine for a year or two.

The cost of other medicines alone is a terrifying amount.

Otherwise, he would not have watched Li Guoqiang suffer for so many years.

Now, when he heard Li Guoqiang say that it was possible to prepare a complete prescription, he could not help but feel a little hopeful. Seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately nodded with certainty and said, "Really? You know that the three northeastern provinces are famous for their rich ginseng production. You can definitely find century-old ginseng there."

"So, my joining the production team in the countryside this time may not be a bad thing."

"Then let your brother go with you to join the queue. It will be easier to find the hundred-year-old ginseng with two people than alone."

Li Dawei nodded, and then suddenly thought of a better way.

"."

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then quickly objected: "No, you have already applied for early retirement due to illness. If Xiaofu is allowed to go to the countryside with you, wouldn't it be a waste of a valuable job position!"

"Besides, my sister is going to get married eventually. Do you expect stepmother to work and earn money to support the whole family?"

"Don't even think about whether you two old people can have enough food at home. It will be a problem for me to ask you for help and support in the countryside."

"If it were you, I'd say you shouldn't bother with Xiaofu. You should just let him take over your job and let him stay at home and be filial to you two elders on my behalf!"

"Okay! Then let's do as you say!"

Li Dawei hesitated for a while, but finally nodded in agreement.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Li Guoqiang hesitantly.

Li Guoqiang saw this and thought that Li Dawei was worried, so he quickly spoke to comfort him: "Dad, don't worry! I'm an adult now, and I can take care of myself no matter where I am."

"Ok!"

Li Dawei nodded and responded, but in the end he did not tell the matter. He planned to discuss it with Yao Meilan first.

Afterwards, he did not stay any longer. He simply asked about Li Guoqiang's physical condition, then got up and walked out, returning to the room where he lived next door.

Li Guoqiang looked at Li Dawei's somewhat hunched back and sighed silently in his heart.

If possible, he didn't want Li Dawei to face the decision of losing his loved one.

The problem was that he had no way of explaining the existence of Jin Die to Li Dawei, and he could only give Li Dawei some psychological comfort by collecting the life-saving prescription.

Fortunately, this time, Li Dawei was finally persuaded and the most difficult problem at the moment was solved.

Just when he wanted to lie down and have a good rest in preparation for his trip to the black market at night, a thunderous sound suddenly came from outside the house.

"Brother, brother, look what I brought back for you?"

Just as he finished speaking, a burly figure pushed open the door and rushed in, then handed two oil paper bags to Li Guoqiang as if he was presenting a treasure.

All of a sudden, a fresh and tempting smell rushed into Li Guoqiang's nose, making him swallow his saliva involuntarily.
