Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Master Lei waited until the meal was almost finished before he asked, "Boss, just tell me what you want to say."

Li Qingfeng handed over a cigarette, then smiled and said, "Master Lei, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask if you can build a fire wall or a fire bed?"

Master Lei thought it was something else, but he didn't expect it was to repair the fire wall and the fire bed! So he said, "Boss, I can build both of them. How do you want to build them?"

Li Qingfeng said without hesitation: "Master Lei, you are an expert in this area, just do whatever you think is appropriate."

Master Lei recalled the structure of the house for a while before saying, "Boss, we can build a kang in the three main rooms and add a partition, and build a fire wall in the side rooms. Do you think this will work?"

Li Qingfeng thought about it and nodded, "Okay, Master Lei, I'll build a small study room for you in the end, and it's still a one-stop service for both labor and materials. I'll give you 200 French francs first, and I'll refund you if you get more or pay you more if you get less." After saying that, he handed the 200 French francs to Master Lei.

Master Lei took the money and said, "Boss, don't worry, I will go buy the materials this afternoon and the work will be finished in 5 or 6 days."

Li Qingfeng discussed the renovation of other houses with Master Lei.

After a while, when everyone finished their meal and cleaned up, Master Lei and his two sons went back to work, while Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan went back to the house for a nap.

In the next few days.

My younger brother Li Qingshan has been at home all the time. He gets up in the morning to practice kung fu. When he has nothing to do during the day, he will help Master Lei move some materials, or pass some things or something, or he will read books in the house. The books are not those four great classics, but a set of primary and high school books, after all, he will go to school soon.

When Li Qingfeng has nothing to do, he will help Master Lei, but most of the time, he will go out for a walk, look here and there, get familiar with the environment of Dongcheng District, and also take some food and vegetables from the space to his home.

I also bought Qingshan a set of elementary school books so that he can read them at home when he is free.

Li Qingfeng also went to the pharmacy and bought all the medicinal herb seeds he could find. He marked out 2 mu of land in the space and planted all the medicinal herb seeds. After 1 or 2 years, these medicinal herbs will be hundreds of years old, especially the hundred-year-old ginseng, which can prolong life. It makes him happy just thinking about it.

The shelves ordered from the carpenter were built, and a few people were hired to pull the goods to places where there were usually few people. When no one was around, they were put into the storage room and the space was tidyed up at the same time.

Li Qingfeng did not go out that afternoon, because today the toilets in most of the houses and yards at home were built. He and Master Lei looked at each house one by one, and after listening to Master Lei's explanation, he said: "Master Lei, your craftsmanship is really good."

"Master Lei, how much money do we need to pay for repairing the house?"

Master Lei said, "Boss, just give me another 60 French francs."

"Okay, Master Lei, please keep the money." Li Qingfeng took out the money, counted out 60 French francs and gave them to Master Lei.

Master Lei took the money and said with a smile, "Okay! Boss, you go ahead and do your work. We will go back first. If you need anything, you can come back to my house and find me later."

Li Qingfeng said: "Okay, Master Lei, take care."

Send Master Lei and his two sons out the door.

After closing the door, Li Qingfeng discussed the ownership of the house with his brother.

The two brothers still had a room in the main house each as before, and Li Qingfeng asked Master Lei to convert the remaining main house into a bedroom and a living room, both of which were very spacious.

The east side wing was divided into two small rooms, a study and a storage room, where I usually read books.

The west wing was converted into two bedrooms, which will be used for the children to live in after they get married and have children.

Li Qingfeng also bought a lot of furniture for all the rooms. There is a desk, wardrobe, and kang cabinet in every room. They were all made by a master craftsman. He also asked Master Lei's wife to replace the window paper with new ones.

Master Lei also repaired the firewood shed in the yard, and asked Master Lei to build a new chicken coop next to the toilet. It looks good and is definitely better than the one he built himself.

There is also a 1-meter-wide blue brick road in the yard, running from the main gate to each door of the main house, which makes it convenient for people to walk back and forth on rainy days.

Li Qingfeng thought that when he had time, he would turn over the land on both sides and plant some seasonal vegetables and onions, ginger, garlic, etc. It would be best to find a fruit seedling before going in, so that he would have fruit to eat in the future without having to take it out from the space. Qingshan would also ask where it came from.

Anyway, Li Qingfeng would never let anyone know that he had a space, not even his wife and children. They had to take it with them into the coffin after he died.

Li Qingfeng stood in the yard and looked at the houses in front of him. His sense of accomplishment suddenly soared. This was a house in the old city. If it was sold 6 or 70 years later, it would have cost at least tens of millions. Thinking of this, Li Qingfeng almost laughed out loud.

It seems that I have to find a separate house for my younger brother nearby, so that he will have a place to live when he gets married and moves out.

It is too early to think about this now. In a few years, after the Japanese surrender and when the GMD is ready to flee to the southern islands, there will be many people selling houses. It will not be too late to buy a house then.

Li Qingfeng said to his brother, "Qingshan, how are you doing with the books I bought for you?"

Li Qingshan hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother, I don't understand."

Li Qingfeng said, "It's okay, Qingshan! After dinner tonight, I will teach you. You must study hard. In seven days, we will ask the school for your admission."

Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will learn from you seriously."

Li Qingfeng patted Qingshan on the shoulder and said, "Qingshan, study hard in the future. When you get into college, our father and mother will be able to see clearly."

After hearing this, Li Qingshan nodded vigorously with red eyes and said, "I will, brother!"

"Okay, go play for a while! I'll go make dinner." With that, Li Qingfeng walked straight into the kitchen and started cooking.

After dinner and washing up, Li Qingfeng took Qingshan to the study, lit the oil lamp and started teaching.

Because his younger brother Li Qingshan drank the spiritual spring water, both his physical fitness and brain thinking have been greatly improved, so Li Qingshan learns very quickly. Sometimes after Li Qingfeng asks a question, Qingshan can directly give the answer without thinking, and can also draw inferences about other situations.

The two of them were teaching one and learning the other, and soon it was around 10 o'clock. Li Qingfeng was just about to tell his younger brother Qingshan to go to bed, but before he could say anything, he heard bursts of gunfire outside, which scared Qingshan so much that he shivered.

Li Qingfeng immediately blew out the kerosene lamp and asked his brother to stay in the study and not move.

He gently opened the door, stuck his head out and listened for a while. The intermittent sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer to his home.
