Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

(Brothers, I will update one chapter after midnight and another chapter around 3pm. I really don’t have time to write.)

A little girl was kneeling at the door of a house in the alley, half hugging her brother who had fainted from hunger.

She looked up at the stranger who extended his hand to her, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

Li Zihang's figure overshadowed the little girl.

The little girl in the shadow suddenly felt that there could be warmth in the darkness under the sun.

The little girl gently put her hungry brother on the ground.

He kowtowed three times to Li Zihang with great effort.

There was no spoken dialogue during this period.

Because the little girl was so hungry that she had no strength left.

Li Zihang did not despise the little girl who had messy hair, lice, tattered clothes and was skinny.

Li Zihang gently carried the little boy who had fainted from hunger to the back seat, and asked the little girl to sit in the back seat and hold her brother.

Then I rode my bike to the nearest hotel.

Many restaurants in Beijing have closed down these days.

The main reason is that there is no food.

Li Zihang came into a store that was still open, holding a skinny little boy.

Said bluntly.

"Waiter, please bring a bowl of hot soup or rice porridge first."

The waiter saw the boy in Li Zihang's arms and the girl behind him.

I immediately understood what was going on, sighed and walked straight to the kitchen.

After a while, a bowl of hot rice soup was brought out.

Li Zihang sat on a stool, half holding the little boy in his arms, scooping rice soup with a spoon and feeding the little boy carefully.

It might be the smell of food that woke the little boy from his coma.

So the little boy didn't care about anything and just sat in Li Zihang's arms and drank the rice soup in big gulps.

The only middle-aged waitress in the store said this.

"What kind of world is this~"

"When will these hard times end~"

The waitress said and looked at the little boy with pity.

Li Zihang looked at the boy who woke up.

Then he was put down and allowed to drink the rice soup by himself.

The little girl standing aside watched her brother drinking rice porridge and she was so hungry that her saliva started to drool.

The little boy came to his senses after drinking half a bowl of rice soup.

Seeing that his sister was still swallowing her saliva, he immediately brought the remaining half bowl of rice soup to the little girl.

"Sister, I'm full. You should eat something too."

The little girl said quickly, trying to give in.

"I'm not hungry yet, eat more."

How could the boy not know that his sister was taking care of him, and he refused to drink the remaining half bowl.

Li Zihang said to the waiter at this time.

"Comrade, could you please serve some more thin food?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you the money and the ticket."

Then he said to the little girl.

"Drink the remaining half bowl~"

"There will be more later~"

After hearing this, the little girl picked up the bowl and slowly drank the remaining half bowl of rice soup.

In the following time, Li Zihang spent half an hour watching the scene of the deep love between the sister and brother.

Then he took the two of them home.

After a series of training from his old man, Li Zihang has become as hard-hearted as stone.

He naturally had his reasons for saving so many orphans this year.

On the other hand, he wanted to preserve the last bit of kindness in his heart.

This way he feels like he is still a normal person.

In the alley of No. 40 Courtyard, Li Zihang and his brother and sister happened to meet Jia Dongxu who was getting off work.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu saw Li Zihang bringing back two more little beggars.

I felt a little uncomfortable and muttered to myself.

"If you have that food to save the little beggar, why don't you give it to my family?"

"After all, we have been neighbors for so many years."

"It seems I have figured out a solution~"

It was not until Li Zihang came closer to him that he greeted him.

"Xiao Hang, you are really a living Bodhisattva. You have brought back so many children this year."

"How about you save my family too?"

When Li Zihang heard this, he replied with a smile.

"Brother Jia, stop joking. You still need my help."

"Your monthly salary is nearly 50 yuan."

"My whole family has urban household registration, so we can still have enough food to eat even when things are difficult."

Then Li Zihang turned his head and looked at the brother and sister in the back seat and said.

"They are in such a miserable state. Look at the clothes they are wearing and their skinny bodies."

"No matter how difficult your situation is, is it as difficult as theirs?"

"Okay, Brother Jia, I'm going back first. My family is waiting for dinner~"

Then Li Zihang said something else in a miserable tone.

"These days, life is hard for everyone. The children at home are all eating more than the others because they are afraid of being hungry."

"My family might run out of food in a few days~"

After saying this, Li Zihang pushed the cart towards his front door.

After adopting a large number of orphans who had fled famine this year, the Li family's home became crowded.

The room where the concierge used to live had three bunk beds.

The two small guest rooms also have four bunk beds.

This solved the housing problem for these orphans.

As for the issue of eating, the Li family also made changes.

We also hired a cook to prepare big pot meals for these children.

Aunt Qian is still responsible for the daily life and diet of Li Zihang and his family.

Dinner had just been prepared and a group of orphans lined up with bowls in hand to get their meals in the Li family restaurant.

We had tomato and egg noodles for dinner today.

As soon as Li Zihang brought the brother and sister to the restaurant, he instantly attracted the attention of the whole family.

A group of orphans adopted by the Li family also turned their heads and looked at the brother and sister.

As the two children were too dirty, Li Zihang originally wanted to let them wash before letting them eat.

But the brother and sister only drank two bowls of rice soup in the restaurant and were still very hungry.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the noodles in the big bowl.

A group of orphans looked at the brother and sister and remembered their past selves.

Then they all looked at Li Zihang.

Li Zihang could tell from their eyes that they did not dislike the brother and sister, so he begged them to let him eat first.

Li Zihang looked at the group of orphans and nodded silently to indicate his agreement.

The oldest girl among the orphans stepped forward, walked to the cupboard next to her, and took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

First, make two bowls of noodles for them.

The old man and his family have not eaten in the restaurant since the arrival of these children.

Aunt Qian would prepare the meals and bring them to the practice room in the backyard for us to eat.

Now, Li Zihang was the only one eating with the group of orphans in the restaurant.

This is also one of his methods of educating these orphans.

Li Sijie just wanted to have dinner with these orphans, but the old man wouldn't let him.

This is Li Zihang training his team, how can he interfere?

A group of orphans sat down and began to eat noodles in silence.

Because the brother and sister were extremely hungry, they ate the noodles very quickly without even chewing. They just bit off the noodles and swallowed them into their stomachs.

Li Zihang was afraid that they would be hungry for too long and would die from eating like this.

He knocked on the bowl and chopsticks and spoke.

"Eat slowly, there's no rush~"

"The hard times are over. I can't let myself die from eating this bowl of noodles."

As soon as he finished speaking, this group of sensible orphans began to persuade the brother and sister.

I had just finished half of the meal when I didn't expect Jia Dongxu to come to visit the Li family.

In the restaurant, Jia Dongxu sat aside and watched the group of orphans eating white flour and noodles.

It was the egg and tomato noodles, and I suddenly felt sour in my heart.

Jia Dongxu: "Xiaohang, my family is really having a hard time making ends meet. To be honest, we are going to run out of food today.

You said, it doesn’t matter if my mother and I skip one or two meals.”

"But Qin Huairu is pregnant now, and she has two children, Banggeng and Xiaodang. They really can't go hungry for a meal or two~"

"I really have no other choice, so I shamelessly came to borrow food."

After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he pretended to look sad in front of Li Zihang.

Li Zihang put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth and said.

"Brother Jia, how old is Bang Geng?"

Jia Dongxu came to ask for money, and Li Zihang asked Banggeng about his age, which confused him.

Jia Dongxu: "Banggeng is ten years old this year."

Li Zihang: "How heavy is that stick?"

Jia Dongxu: "I weighed him a few days ago, and he weighed exactly 80 kilograms."

After asking these questions, Li Zihang called two of the orphans out.

"Li Mufeng, Li Qingzi, step out."

The two children whose names were called put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood in front of Li Zihang.

Li Zihang: "Take off your shirt."

They did as they were told, their tops falling off.

The two men's skinny bodies were revealed to everyone.

Li Zihang pointed at the two boys and said.

"Brother Jia, have you seen them? They are also ten years old, but do you know how much they weigh?"

Li Li Zihang asked and answered his own questions.

"The heaviest of them weighs just 50 kilograms."

"Tell me, is it more important for Banggen to not have enough food, or is it more important for them to have food to eat and survive?"

Li Zihang's words were like a needle piercing Jia Dongxu's heart.

Li Zihang Li Zihang slapped his forehead and said.

"Look at my memory. The day before yesterday I saw Aunt Jia going to buy pig's head. Now you tell me that your family has run out of food."

"Brother Jia, do you think I'm really stupid?"

Without waiting for Jia Dongxu to speak, Li Zihang continued.

"Brother Jia, don't rush to explain. Just listen to what I have to say."

"Look at Aunt Jia's body shape. Do you think that means she has run out of food?"

"Also, you said your family ran out of food."

"Why did I see you yesterday, you looked drunk?"

Li Zihang's words directly exposed Jia Dongxu's lies, leaving him speechless.

For a moment, the only sound in the restaurant was the slurping sound of people eating noodles.

After a while, Li Zihang started talking again.

"These days, everyone's life is hard. If my family hadn't relied on a few elders to make ends meet, we might have run out of food one day."

"Also, compared to people who are starving to death, those who are starving to death need to be saved more."

There was another silence, and Jia Dongxu opened his mouth several times but hesitated to speak.

Li Zihang looked at Jia Dongxu who stood up and left without saying a word.

A hint of viciousness flashed in Jia Dongxu's eyes.

Jia Dongxu's look was just seen by Li Zihang.

Li Zihang looked at Jia Dongxu's departing back and muttered to himself.

"Jia Dongxu~ Jia Dongxu, isn't it good to be alive? Why do you have to seek death~"
