Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed and it is 1966.

This year, Li Qingfeng's eldest son Li Weiguo had just graduated from high school, but had not yet taken the college entrance examination, so he asked Li Qingfeng to use his connections to get him into the army.

For this, Wu Lirong blamed Li Qingfeng for a long time.

There are some things Li Qingfeng cannot say openly, so he has to wait until night time and say them secretly behind closed doors. If others knew, it would be bad.

After dinner, I waited for my brother's family to have their children.

Li Qingfeng asked Wei Jun to take his younger brother and sister to play in the yard, then closed the door and said with a serious face,

"Have you noticed that the atmosphere outside is very tense right now?"

Li Chengman nodded and said, "I know about this. Recently, many students have come to the recycling station to sell things."

"They are all kinds of things. The big books are books and textbooks, and there are also a small amount of calligraphy and paintings and furniture."

Li Qingshan asked: "Dad, brother, what's going on?"

Wu Lirong and Qin Huairu both looked at it curiously and listened attentively.

Li Qingfeng lit a cigarette, walked to the window, looked at the children playing in the yard, and said in a deep voice: "It's a problem of the gap between the rich and the poor."

"Now some people can't afford to eat, while others can afford to eat as much as they want, and this has led to controversy."

“Those capitalists who remain in the city will be dragged out for criticism and their homes will be searched, no matter who they are.”

"The school will be closed for a while. Qingshan, when you go home, let Weidong and the other two stay at home first."

"Also, don't say anything you shouldn't say outside, and always carry the teacher's quotations with you. It's best if you can memorize them all."

Li Qingshan frowned and asked, "Brother, is the situation so serious?"

"It's more serious than you think. Remember not to say anything you shouldn't say, and don't get involved when something happens."

"I know, brother."

At this time, Wu Lirong also asked: "Brother Qingfeng, have the children been idle at home all this time?"

"Well, I'll have to stay at home for the next one or two years. The teachers at school might criticize me."

Li Qingfeng smoked another cigarette and continued, "At the same time, we must prepare for the children."

Li Chengman asked seriously, "Qingfeng, what are you preparing for?"

"Preparation to go to the countryside."

"Go to the countryside?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room asked in surprise.

Li Qingshan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it is to go to the countryside."

"You all know that there are many unemployed young people going to the countryside now. Think about what kind of family we are."

"There must be a child in the family who is going to the countryside, otherwise they will be taken away for questioning."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu and Wu Lirong both became worried about their child's future.

Li Chengman is also a man with a lot of experience, and he knows what to do without any prompts.

"Qingfeng, if I volunteer to go to the countryside, can I choose where I will go?"

Li Qingfeng nodded: "Well, there is a special case for those who go to the countryside first, but it won't be allowed after a year."

Li Chengman made the decision directly: "Wei Hong is a girl and cannot go to the countryside, so let Wei Jun and Wei Dong go to Huai Ru's mother's village to work in the countryside."

When Qin Huairu and Wu Lirong heard what their father-in-law said, their eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement. Going to Qinjia Village in the countryside was close and they could be taken care of more. If they went to another province, they would have no place to cry.

Li Qingshan asked, "Dad, brother, it's good to go to Qinjia Village. It's close so we can take better care of them. So when should we let them go?"

Li Qingfeng said seriously: "The sooner the better."

"Then take Weijun and Weidong to the street office to register tomorrow. It just so happens that we all know the street director, so it will be easier to talk to him."

"Ah."

Everyone in the room nodded in unison.

Afterwards, Li Qingshan and Qin Huairu took the children back to rest.

Li Qingfeng called Wei Jun's two siblings into the house and told them about the recent tense situation and the plan to go to the countryside.

The children are more sensible and they also know that no one is studying now.

Wei Jun had no complaints about going to the countryside. Besides, the place he was going to was Wei Dong’s grandmother’s home, which was also his grandmother’s home. He would definitely be able to get along well there.

Wei Hong knew that she was a girl and it was not safe for her to go to the countryside, so she had to nod and comfort Wei Jun.

Wei Min also followed Wei Hong to comfort his second brother.

Li Qingfeng waved his hand to tell them to go back to their room and sleep, then he went into the bedroom to chat with Wu Lirong.

The next day, Li Qingfeng first took Wei Jun and Wei Dong to the school to apply for graduation certificates in advance, and then went to the street to find Sister Wang to explain the two children's going to the countryside, and that the location was Qinjia Village.

After hearing this, Wang Shenghua nodded. She also knew that the outside world was in chaos and going to the countryside early was a good idea. She quickly issued a certificate of voluntary going to the countryside.

Then Li Qingfeng asked about Lao Liu's recent situation. After knowing that he was fine, he took the two children home.

Li Qingfeng or Li Qingshan will take you to the countryside, and you can go home and stay for two days first. In any case, you can go to the countryside within a week.

On the third day of going to the countryside, the wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and passers-by were shivering as if it was winter.

Schools are now completely closed.

There were many soldiers jumping up and down in the streets and alleys of the city.

There are also quite a few in Nanluoguxiang, like the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, as well as Yan Jiekuang from the Yan family, Jia Geng from the Jia family, etc.

Seeing this, Li Qingfeng quickly asked his younger brother Li Qingshan to take brothers Wei Jun and Wei Dong to the countryside as it was not safe in the city.

He also told Wei Hong and Wei Min to stay at home and not go out.

Li Qingfeng has no time to send his children to the countryside. The streets are very chaotic now. In order to prevent speculators from causing damage, they, the police, have to patrol the streets or wait for phone calls at work.

Yan Bugui, who lives in the courtyard, also stays at home idle, either playing chess or watering flowers.

Director Yang of the steel rolling mill was also ousted by Li Huaide and sent to work on a farm, where he still cleaned the factory like Ju Qin.

Li Qingshan wanted to help the old captain very much, but when he thought of what his brother said and his own family, he lost the desire to do so. He only secretly sent the old captain gifts of wine and food when no one was around.

The harder you jump now, the harder you will fall in the future.

This is what his brother Li Qingfeng told him.

Li Qingshan remembered this sentence firmly and also told Xu Damao, reminding him not to mess around, dance or talk nonsense, after all, he and he were brothers-in-law.

Li Chengman didn't have much to do at the scrap recycling station. It was enough to keep him busy by rummaging through the things sold by the soldiers every day. It was a painful and happy experience. He also brought back a lot of good things and added a lot of things to the basement of his home.

Li Qingfeng couldn't bear to see those soul treasures being destroyed, so in the middle of the night, while Wu Lirong was sleeping, he sneaked to the warehouse where the soldiers had copied the soul treasures and stored them, and put them all into the space. He took away several soul treasures in a row.

I don’t know how many people will be unlucky the next day. It’s none of Li Qingfeng’s business. It’s better to sleep comfortably with his wife in his arms.
