Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

After taking a shower, Li Qingfeng walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. He washed his clothes and hung them under the eaves, then went to the kitchen.

Seeing Lirong cooking, Li Qingfeng did not disturb her. He took a basin filled with fresh peppers, washed them and chopped them.

Wu Lirong felt a little choked, wrinkled her nose and asked: "Brother Qingfeng, why are you chopping peppers?"

After saying that, he coughed twice.

Hearing Wu Lirong's question, Li Qingfeng said without turning his head: "I'll make some chili sauce and bring it to school to eat."

"Lirong, when the meal is ready, you can just go and eat in the main room. You don't have to wait for me. Just leave some for me."

Wu Lirong nodded and replied, "I understand."

After the meal was ready, Wu Lirong brought the food and asked Li Weiguo, who was playing in the yard, to wash his hands and come to the main room to eat.

Li Qingfeng cut a pound of pork belly and minced it, and also chopped the onion, ginger and garlic into minced meat.

Heat more oil in a pan, first stir-fry the minced meat, then add in chopped onion, ginger and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, then add in chopped chili, stir-fry twice, and suddenly a pungent spicy smell will come out.

Li Qingfeng was choked so much that he turned his head and coughed a few times: "Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Endure the discomfort in your nose and stir-fry quickly for a while. Finally, add seasonings and soy sauce, add a little water, and then simmer on low heat for about ten minutes.

Taking advantage of the time, Li Qingfeng washed the spicy smell off his hands and went to the main room to eat.

Wu Lirong saw Li Qingfeng coming in to eat, so she served him a bowl of rice, placed it in front of him and asked, "Brother Qingfeng, is the chili sauce ready?"

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng replied while eating: "Not yet! It's still cooking!" After that, he picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and gave it to Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo looked down at the meat in the bowl, but his mouth was full of food and he had no time to talk. He could only look up and smile at Li Qingfeng, then take a break and lower his head to eat the meat in big mouthfuls.

Li Qingfeng smiled, finished his meal quickly, returned to the kitchen, lit a cigarette, and watched the chili sauce in the pot being almost done, so he added some salt to season it.

Li Qingfeng scooped a little with a spoon and tasted it. It tasted really good.

Pour the chili sauce into a bowl and let it cool, then put four bottles into cans and take them back to school to eat, and leave the rest at home for Lirong and the others to eat.

The time at home passed quickly and before he knew it, it was time to go back to school. During this time, Li Qingfeng told Wu Lirong and Qin Huairu about the situation in school and the dormitory.

When Lirong learned that Li Qingfeng had become the league secretary in the class, she was also happy for Li Qingfeng.

After dinner on weekend afternoons.

Li Qingfeng said hello to Lirong and the others before it got dark, and finally comforted his eldest son Li Weiguo, and then rode his bicycle to school.

After returning to school and parking my bike, I walked into the dormitory carrying a package containing four bottles of chili sauce and twenty salted duck eggs. Seeing that all my roommates had returned, I smiled and said, "Hey! You all came back pretty early! Have you eaten? If not, I got some food from home."

As he spoke, he reached out and lifted the package in his hand.

"Third brother, what did you get?" Yin Shan, the youngest and more fond of food, couldn't wait to ask when he heard there was food.

宿舍里的八位商量着按照年龄排了大小，首先是24年的周卫国最大，其次26年的冯大力，接着是他李青峰，27年的，最后依次是28年4月的李援朝、28年6月的江武、29年的尹山、30年的刘建国、31年的徐东。

The eldest is Zhou Weiguo, the second is Feng Dali, the third is Li Qingfeng, the fourth is Li Yuanchao, the fifth is Jiang Wu, the sixth is Yin Shan, the seventh is Liu Jianguo, and the eighth is Xu Dong.

"Four bottles of chili sauce and twenty salted duck eggs."

Li Qingfeng put the package on the table and said to everyone, "Everyone, if anyone is hungry, just help yourself."

"Got it, Third Brother."

"Thanks, Third Brother. I also got some food at home. Let's eat in turn."

The other seven people in the dormitory said in unison.

In the following days, Li Qingfeng's study and life became very regular, and he would do morning exercises with the group every morning.

Then I go to have breakfast, and go to class if I have classes. When I don’t have classes, I go to the library to read books, reading more about the areas where I am weak in knowledge, enriching my knowledge and increasing my experience.

During the weekends, he goes home to see his wife and children and brings some food when he comes back, so Li Qingfeng is very satisfied with his current life.

Time flies by like a white horse, and it’s gone in a flash.

The time came to 1952. Li Qingfeng had been in school for two years. He learned a lot of useful knowledge in school. He also followed the old patrolman his father-in-law mentioned and asked a lot of knowledge about tracking, investigation and traces.

So Li Qingfeng's grades are also among the best in the class.

During this period, the family also received a letter from their father Li Chengman, asking Li Qingfeng to take the children to see him when he has time.

In his reply, Li Qingfeng said that if his father Li Chengman is not able to do so, he can come to Sijiucheng professionally so that he can see his grandchildren every day.

Only Li Qingshan has not had any news so far, and no letter has been sent back. We only know that he is still alive.

In 1952, the country completed the Three Antis and Five Antis Movement aimed at combating corruption, waste, bureaucracy and other illegal activities. This movement not only played a positive role in the construction of the country and the government, but also combated corruption.

The People's Public Security University where Li Qingfeng works also participated in this operation together with the Public Security Bureau. The school leaders let the students follow the principle of watching more, listening more and talking less.

In this way, the detailed process of this task is added to the resumes of all the students in the school, making their resumes look much better.

One day, Li Qingfeng suddenly remembered that when our army went north to fight abroad, the commanders and fighters on the front line suffered greatly. Someone in the rear transported fake medicines and expired medical supplies to the wounded on the front line, which led to an unreasonable increase in the non-combat casualties of the Volunteer Army.

It is infuriating that such a conscienceless businessman actually extended his evil hands to the soldiers who fought in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

When Li Qingfeng is free at school, he will go to the school to investigate this matter.

Zhou Weiguo, the boss in the dormitory, was quite observant. He could clearly see that Li Qingfeng had been acting mysterious these past few days and was listless when he came back every morning.

So he took Li Qingfeng to a deserted place and asked, "Qingfeng, what happened these days? You come home listless every day. Did something happen at home?"

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng felt a little confused and a little touched. He took out a cigarette and gave it to each of them. He struck a match to light cigarettes for Zhou Weiguo and himself, then said with a smile, "Nothing happened at home. I just discovered something and went out to investigate."

Li Qingfeng then told Zhou Weiguo everything about the bad businessman.
