Before Lunar New Year, Lu Xun made a trip to the county. By then, the Li family's grandpa and grandson, the Qin brothers, along with Xi Yunmei, and little friend Lu Ping'an had all moved into the house in the city.
After winter set in, it became difficult for the three people to secure grain. Grandpa Li decided on the spot to move to the city, feeling it was safer to return there at this time.
The courtyard house in the city was just like the one in Li Family Village, a small courtyard. Grandpa Li had a suite, Li Xianglu had a single room, and with five adults and one child, it wasn't crowded at all. In fact, it was lively every day.
To curry favor with Huai Ren, Li Dafu had the mule cart from the production team deliver several loads of belongings, including cabbages, potatoes, and radishes harvested from their private plots, as well as the grain allotted to the Qin brothers.
