Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Early the next morning.

Li Qingfeng got up early in the morning and prepared to exercise in the yard. After getting dressed and opening the door, he saw his younger brother Li Qingshan had already started exercising in the yard.

Li Qingfeng observed the needle and found that what Li Qingshan was doing was not the Baguazhang that he taught him, but looked more like military boxing.

When Li Qingshan was finishing his training, Li Qingfeng stepped forward and handed him a towel, then asked, "Qingshan, was that the military boxing you were practicing just now? It looked very lethal."

"It's military boxing. I learned it in the army."

Li Qingshan wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and continued, "Military boxing is a kind of boxing that combines punching, kicking, wrestling, knife grabbing, gun grabbing and other fighting movements. Generally speaking, this set of boxing is very suitable for killing enemies."

"Ah."

Li Qingfeng washed his face and said to his brother, "Qingshan, go wash up. Let's go out and buy some breakfast. We won't cook."

"Ok."

Li Qingshan moved quickly and washed his hands and face in no time.

The Li Qingfeng brothers each lit a cigarette and walked in the alley.

I bought a pound of fried dough sticks, a pound of fried cakes, ten big meat buns, and a bowl of soy milk at the street corner.

On the way home, Li Qingfeng suddenly said, "Qingshan, this year we will take our wives and children back to our hometown and celebrate the New Year with our father!"

Hearing this, Li Qingshan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Brother, when are we going to leave?"

Li Qingfeng thought for a moment, then said, "After you and Huairu leave with the child, I'll go to the train station to take a look."

"We'll leave when we have tickets available. It would be best if we have tickets for tomorrow's train."

"Row."

Li Qingshan nodded in response.

After the two brothers returned home, they each went back to their own rooms and called their wives and children to get up and eat.

After breakfast, Li Qingshan took the gifts he was going to bring, and Qin Huairu held Li Weidong. The two said hello to their elder brother and sister-in-law, and then went to the station to wait for the bus.

Li Qingfeng played with the children for a while and then went out to buy tickets for the train station.

Before going to the train station, Li Qingfeng first went to his master's house and told his master that he would return to his hometown to celebrate the New Year this year and would come back home after the New Year. Before leaving, he kowtowed three times to his master as a way of wishing him a happy New Year in advance.

After leaving his master's house, Li Qingfeng went to his father-in-law's house and told his father-in-law and his wife about Qingshan's return and going back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.

Finally, Li Qingfeng went to the train station to buy a ticket back home.

Walking to the ticket office at the train station, Li Qingfeng leaned over the window sill and asked the ticket seller, "Comrade, do you have train tickets to Zhengzhou, Henan?"

The ticket seller replied expressionlessly: "Yes, I want a few."

Li Qingfeng then asked, "I want four tickets. Do you have sleeper berths? What time do you have the tickets for?"

The ticket seller said, "Both this afternoon and tomorrow."

Li Qingfeng asked: "How much is the total for a sleeper berth for tomorrow morning?"

The ticket seller replied, "Five hundred thousand."

Li Qingfeng took out all the money from his pocket and found 500,000 yuan. He also handed his work permit from the branch to the ticket seller and said, "Here."

The conductor took the money and work permit, glanced at them, looked up at Li Qingfeng, and said nothing. Then he issued the ticket and returned it to Li Qingfeng along with the work permit: "Here."

"Thank you."

Li Qingfeng took his work permit and train ticket, said thank you, and then rode his bike home.

Li Qingshan and his family of three got off the bus in Changping and spent one thousand yuan to find a ox cart to reach Qinjia Village.

It was cold in winter and the villagers stayed at home with nothing to do. No one would come out. There were only three or four militiamen on duty in the thatched hut at the entrance of the village.

Li Qingshan was walking in front carrying a lot of bags, while Qin Huairu was following slowly behind holding the sleeping Li Weidong.

"Looking for someone."

A man came out of the straw hut, noticed Li Qingshan, a stranger, and immediately shouted.

Qin Huairu was holding the child behind Li Qingshan, and was blocked by his body, so the militiamen who came out of the straw hut did not see Qin Huairu.

Hearing the voice, Li Qingshan turned his head to look over, and Qin Huairu behind him also stretched his head to look over, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Before Li Qingshan could finish his words, Qin Huairu hurriedly walked in front of Li Qingshan and said with a smile: "Brother Dali, I am Qin Huairu, don't you recognize me?"

Qin Dali replied with a smile: "I know him, why don't you recognize him! It's just that his body blocked you and he didn't see you." He turned his head and shouted inside: "Dajun, your sister is back with the child."

When Qin Dajun in the straw hut heard this, he quickly got up and ran out. He saw that it was really his sister who came back, and there was someone familiar beside her: "Sister, you are back! Why didn't you say hello in advance so that I could pick you up."

"It's okay, it's just troublesome."

Qin Huairu said to Qin Dajun: "Dajun, don't you recognize your brother-in-law?"

"what!"

After Qin Dajun heard this, he took a closer look at Li Qingshan. It was true that he had changed so much. Then he said embarrassedly, "Hello, brother-in-law. You have changed so much that I didn't recognize you for a moment."

"I'm sorry! Brother-in-law."

He seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, brother-in-law, didn't you go north to fight in the war? Why are you back?"

Li Qingshan passed out cigarettes to the people coming out of the straw hut, then said with a smile: "You'll be back after the fight."

"Oh!"

Qin Dajun wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by his sister Qin Huairu: "Dajun, it's so cold, do you want Weidong to catch a cold?"

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

Qin Dajun slapped his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Brother-in-law, sister, let's go home first."

He turned to Qin Dali and said, "Brother Dali, I will take my sister and brother-in-law home first and will be back soon."

Qin Dali waved his hand, "No need, it's so cold, we're fine, you can stay at home with your brother-in-law and Huairu."

"Row."

Qin Dajun responded, then smiled and led Li Qingshan and Qin Huairu towards the village.

Before leaving, Li Qingshan took out another pack of cigarettes, threw it to Qin Dali, and said with a smile: "Brother Dali, take it and share it."

"Okay, thanks."

Qin Dali watched Li Qingshan and his companions walk away, then returned to the straw hut, opened a cigarette and distributed it to everyone: "Huai Ru and her husband are finally back. Now no one in the village will gossip about them."

"That's right, Dali, let's show those big mouths in the village whether they can be slapped in the face or not."

"Life will be better for the Dajun family from now on."

"Yeah yeah... ..."

There were bursts of discussions coming from the straw hut.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm going to go home and tell my parents first."

Qin Dali was displeased with his brother-in-law and sister for walking so slowly, so he greeted them and ran towards home.

When they reached the front door of his home, Qin Dali shouted loudly, "Dad and Mom, come out quickly."

"Dad, Mom, come out quickly, my sister is back with Weidong and my brother-in-law!"
