Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

One Saturday afternoon, Li Qingfeng returned home after get off work at the police station.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard Wu Lirong say, "Brother Qingfeng, Master just left not long ago. Did you run into him?"

Li Qingfeng shook his head and said, "No! Lirong, why didn't you invite Master to have dinner at home?"

Wu Lirong said, "I left it for later. Why didn't I leave it for later? Master said he had something else to do and he won't be home to eat."

"Before Master left, he asked you to visit him tomorrow."

Li Qingfeng asked, "Master, didn't you say anything?"

Wu Lirong shook her head and replied, "No."

After putting all the food on the table, Wu Lirong continued, "Brother Qingfeng, go to the main hall and call our father and children to come and eat."

"understood."

Li Qingfeng didn't go to the main room, but stood directly at the kitchen door and shouted loudly: "Dad, come and eat."

Li Chengman led his grandchildren out of the main hall and said to Li Qingfeng unhappily, "You will die if you take two more steps!"

After saying that, he helped his grandchildren wash their hands.

Li Qingfeng didn't say anything and turned back to the kitchen.

Early the next morning.

Li Qingfeng opened his eyes and saw that Li Rong was no longer beside him.

After getting dressed, he went to the children's room. Seeing that the children were still sleepy, he got up alone and went to the yard to start exercising.

As Wu Lirong finished her breakfast, her father Li Chengman also came home from outside.

Li Qingfeng asked in surprise: "Dad, what time did you go out? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"As people get older, they sleep less. Going out for a walk in the morning will make you feel refreshed."

Li Chengman went back to the house to get his toiletries, walked to the sink, and while washing himself, he asked, "Are the children still awake?"

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "Yeah! Dad, they don't have to go to school anymore, let them get enough sleep!"

"Dad, Brother Qingfeng, it's time to eat!"

Wu Lirong stood at the kitchen door and shouted to the two of them.

"understood."

Li Qingfeng and Li Chengman finished washing up and put away their toiletries before going to the kitchen to eat.

After Li Qingfeng finished his breakfast, he said hello to his father and Li Rong, then rode his bicycle towards his master's house.

More than ten minutes later, Li Qingfeng arrived at the door of his master's house. Seeing that the gate was open, he pushed his bicycle directly into the yard.

Li Qingfeng parked his bicycle and shouted into the house, "Master, I'm here!"

"Come on, come inside!"

When Quanfu heard the shouting, he came to the door and looked at Li Qingfeng with a strange look.

"okay!"

Li Qingfeng followed Quanfu into the house, handed him a cigarette, and asked with a smile, "Master, have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

Quanfu lit a cigarette, and with a hint of reluctance in his tone, he said, "Qingfeng, I want to tell you something."

Li Qingfeng didn't hear the reluctance in his master's tone. He took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Master, what do you say?"

Quanfu said to Li Qingfeng reluctantly: "Qingfeng, Master is leaving?"

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng asked his master in confusion: "Go? Master, where are you going?"

Na Quanfu said, "Northeast China."

"northeast?"

Li Qingfeng took two puffs of his cigarette irritably, then asked, "Master, you are living well in Sijiu City, why are you going to the Northeast?"

Na Quanfu refilled his cigarette and said, "I thought I had no relatives, but my nephew came to visit me a while ago."

"He came to Sijiucheng on a business trip. Before he left for the Northeast, my nephew asked me to go back to his hometown with him."

"I didn't want to go at the time, but I received a letter in the last few days that forced me to go."

"The letter said that my sister is a little old and can't remember much, so my nephew asked me to go back and see her."

After hearing this, Li Qingfeng frowned and said, "Master, you can go and stay for a while, and then come back to Sijiu City!"

"Ugh!"

Quanfu shook his head and sighed, then said with a wry smile: "Qingfeng, don't try to persuade me. I'm not going to come back this time when I go back to my hometown."

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng asked in a deep voice: "Master, when are you going to leave?"

Quanfu smoked a cigarette and whispered, "This afternoon's train."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the inner room. After a while, Quanfu came out with two small books, put them on the table next to Li Qingfeng, and said, "Qingfeng, these two are the deeds of my yard and the restaurant. I leave them to you."

Li Qingfeng didn't even look at it, he looked at Quanfu and whispered: "Master, I don't want it, you should keep it!"

Quanfu said loudly: "Just keep it, I don't need it anyway."

"Besides, if I come back, can you not let me stay?"

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Master, let me keep it here first. I will return it to you when you come back."

Although Li Qingfeng said this, he knew that his master had gone back to his hometown and had no intention of returning to Sijiu City.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng accepted both house deeds, Quanfu smiled and said, "Qingfeng, show me your skills again at noon, or I don't know when I can eat the food you cook again."

Li Qingfeng's eyes were red, and he whispered, "I understand, Master."

After saying that, Li Qingfeng walked straight out of the house and headed towards the kitchen.

If he stayed in the room with his master, he was afraid that tears would fall.

For lunch, Li Qingfeng used the ingredients available at his master's house to prepare a fairly sumptuous meal.

Li Qingfeng and his master didn't drink any alcohol either, they just ate lunch quietly.

After dinner, Li Qingfeng cleaned up and helped his master pack his luggage. Those items that were difficult to carry were sent to the post office to be mailed to his hometown in Northeast China.

The remaining furniture and other items were left to Li Qingfeng.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qingfeng sent his master Na Quanfu on a train to the Northeast.

Li Qingfeng said: "Master, I will write to you when I have time."

Quanfu nodded and said, "I understand. Qingfeng, you should go back first! The train is leaving soon."

"understood."

Li Qingfeng stood on the platform of the train station, lit a cigarette, and stared absentmindedly at the train that was gradually moving away. He didn't know when he would see his master again after he left. Maybe this would be the last time they met.

Li Qingfeng came to his senses when he felt the burn on his fingers. He threw away the cigarette butt, turned around, walked out of the train station, got on his bike and went home.

When he got home, Li Chengman saw that his eldest son looked a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "Qingfeng, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Wu Lirong also felt that Li Qingfeng was a little depressed and looked at him worriedly.

Li Qingfeng lit a cigarette and said, "Master, he went back to his hometown in Northeast China. I just came back after sending him back."

After hearing this, Li Chengman and Wu Lirong looked at Li Qingfeng in surprise.

Li Weiguo, who was more sensible, knew that the grandfather who had been very kind to him was gone and he didn't know if he would come back, so he asked in a tearful voice: "Dad, will grandpa come back?"

Li Qingfeng smoked a cigarette and shook his head dejectedly.

Seeing this, Li Weiguo lay in Wu Lirong's arms and cried loudly.

Wei Jun, Wei Hong and Wei Min saw their eldest brother crying, and without understanding the reason, they also started crying along with him.
