Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Ever since Wu Lirong became pregnant, Li Qingfeng has been cheerful at work all day. Every day when it is almost time to get off work, he will go home early to cook for Wu Lirong.

Because of this, Li Qingfeng was teased by many of his colleagues in the police station, who all said that he was dominated by his wife and had no manly dignity.

After Li Qingfeng found out, he didn't care at all. He thought to himself, am I a henpecked husband? I just love my wife.

After that, he was still very happy and cooked for Wu Lirong every day without repeating himself.

Because the food Li Qingfeng cooked was delicious, Wu Lirong couldn't control her appetite. Over time, Wu Lirong gained weight and complained all day long.

Li Qingfeng was responsible for the hygiene and changing of clothes at home and never let Wu Lirong do any work. Wu Lirong could only wait until Li Qingfeng went to work and then secretly find something to do for herself at home behind his back.

For example, feeding the four hens at home and watering the vegetable garden.

Wash the rice and ingredients in advance, cut and prepare the vegetables, wait for Li Qingfeng to come home from get off work, and then stir-fry them.

Li Qingfeng did not stop her. He had to let Wu Lirong do nothing. Moderate exercise was good for her and the baby in her belly.

The letter Li Qingfeng wrote to his father was also sent out, but no one knew who Liu Chuanzhi asked to deliver it.

After he handed the letter to Liu Chuanzhi, he waited for two days. Liu Chuanzhi went directly to the street where he was patrolling to find him and told him that the letter had been sent. Before Li Qingfeng could respond, Liu Chuanzhi left in a hurry.

He was stunned at the moment. He walked aside, lit a cigarette, and sulked alone.

 …

time flies.

Wu Lirong's belly grew bigger day by day, and the days passed by.

Three months passed like flowing water, and it was mid-June 1946.

During this period, Li Qingfeng also received a reply letter from his father, in which he wrote: he was very happy with his daughter-in-law, he was going to be a grandfather soon, and he was fine with it being a boy or a girl, so Wu Lirong could relax and not think too much about it.

He also asked Li Qingfeng to take good care of Wu Lirong, not to let her get tired, and to make more nutritious food for her.

In the end, his father Li Chengman even thought of a name for the child and wrote it at the bottom of the letter.

The boy's name is Li Weiguo, indicating that he will defend the country when he grows up.

The girl's name is Li Weihong, indicating that she will protect our party when she grows up.

When Wu Lirong and Li Qingfeng saw this, they couldn't help but laugh. Wu Lirong said that after the child was born and they found out the gender of the child, they would give the child a nickname themselves, and the full name would be the one given by their father Li Chengman.

Li Qingfeng smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed with what she said.

 …

In the following days, the civil war was getting closer and closer, and Li Qingfeng was extremely irritable, which indirectly affected the people around him.

After the two of them finished dinner that day, Li Qingfeng asked Wu Lirong to sit aside and rest while he went to wash the dishes.

Wu Lirong looked at Li Qingfeng who was washing the dishes and asked him carefully, "Brother Qingfeng, what happened to you these past two days?"

"Ah!" Li Qingfeng was washing the dishes. When he heard Li Rong's question, he was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head to continue washing the dishes and said softly, "Li Rong, I'm fine."

Wu Lirong stood up and walked to Li Qingfeng, and said calmly: "Brother Qingfeng, I am your wife, not an outsider. If you have any concerns, you can tell me."

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng stood up and sat at the kitchen door, lit a cigarette, and said with a sad face: "Lirong, the situation between the two parties is very bad now. I am only worried about the safety of our father and Qingshan."

After Wu Lirong heard what Li Qingfeng said, she was also stunned and asked quickly: "Brother Qingfeng, you are talking about the war that is about to start."

"Right now, the two sides are only fighting a small part of the war, and there has not been a large-scale conflict." Li Qingfeng took a puff of cigarette and continued, "If a large-scale war breaks out between the two parties, the plains will bear the brunt. We don't know where the troops my father and Qingshan are in Henan. Do you think I can not worry about them?"

Hearing this, Wu Lirong walked to Li Qingfeng and said softly to comfort him, "Brother Qingfeng, our father was fine when we fought the Japanese invaders, and he will be fine now. Qingshan will be fine with our father taking care of him."

Li Qingfeng threw away the cigarette in his hand, hugged Wu Lirong's waist, rested his head lightly on her belly, and said nothing.

After a while, Li Qingfeng let go of Wu Lirong, stood up and said to her with a forced smile: "Lirong, I'm fine. I feel much better after speaking out my heart. Don't worry about me."

"Yeah!" Wu Lirong smiled, looked at the forced smile on Li Qingfeng's face, and said softly: "Brother Qingfeng, it's getting late, let's go to rest."

"Okay." Li Qingfeng washed the dishes, put them in the kitchen cupboard, and helped Wu Lirong back to the house.

After Wu Lirong took off her clothes, Li Qingfeng blew out the kerosene lamp, took off his clothes, and just lay down on the kang, Wu Lirong climbed on top of him with her naked body.

Li Qingfeng swallowed his saliva. He had been a monk for more than three months since Wu Lirong became pregnant. Facing Wu Lirong's temptation, his eyes were full of anger. He reached out to her chest and asked in a trembling voice, "Lirong, can you do it now?"

Wu Lirong raised her head and faced Li Qingfeng. They could hear each other's breathing and whispered two words: "Love me."

Li Qingfeng couldn't stand it when he heard that, but he still controlled his reason. She was still pregnant, so he started to do the pregnancy exercises gently, and then bursts of panting sounds came from the room.

 …

Sure enough, just a few days later, on June 1946, 6, just after the armistice expired, a large-scale armed conflict broke out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party's armies in the Central Plains region (the border between Hubei and Henan).

On the night when the two parties clashed, at the home of Wang Weimin, secretary of the Beiping Prefectural Committee.

Wang Weimin temporarily notified the captain and deputy captain of the three teams of the Beijing Special Operations Group to come to his home for a meeting. The content of the meeting was that the headquarters had issued an order for the future work direction of our party members in the former Soviet Union.

Wang Weimin lit a cigarette, threw the rest on the table, and motioned for them to help themselves.

Soon the room was filled with smoke. Wang Weimin opened a window, returned to his seat, and asked, "Now that you have a clear idea of ​​the future direction of our work, please share your opinions."

One of the team leaders said, "Secretary Wang, let's just keep working as we did before."

The captain of the second team followed up and said, "Yes! Secretary Wang, if you have intelligence, pass it on. If you don't have intelligence, keep silent and do your current job."

Wang Weiming watched as Team One and Team Two expressed their ideas. Only Team Three's captain, Liu Chuanzhi, remained silent. He kept his head down, wondering what he was thinking. So he asked, "Old Liu, why don't you say anything? What do you think?"
