Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

The next morning after breakfast, the eldest brother went to the restaurant first, and Li Qingshan came to school with a lot on his mind.

After finishing a class, Li Qingshan couldn't wait to go outside the office. He looked through the window and saw that only Liu Chuanzhi was writing something with his head down. He hurried in, closed the door, walked up to Liu Chuanzhi and whispered, "Teacher Liu, are you free now?"

Liu Chuanzhi looked up and saw that it was Li Qingshan. He smiled and asked, "It's Qingshan! I thought it was another teacher!"

"I'm free now. What do you want?"

Li Qingshan first looked outside to see if there was anyone, then asked Liu Chuanzhi, "Teacher Liu, has my father sent any information recently? Can I write to my father?"

When Liu Chuanzhi heard what Li Qingshan asked, he thought to himself that he didn't know whether he could convey the message now, so he didn't agree directly. So he said, "Qingshan, your father hasn't sent a letter yet. If you write to your father, I mean wait a minute. I will ask the superior leader for you. If the superior leader agrees, I will tell you. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, Li Qingshan nodded and said sadly: "Teacher Liu, I understand. I will go back to class first."

"Well, Qingshan, don't worry, your father will be fine." Liu Chuanzhi said comfortingly.

"I understand, Teacher Liu." Li Qingshan responded, left the office and went back to the classroom for class.

After Li Qingshan left, Liu Chuanzhi sighed helplessly.

Li Qingshan had just returned to the classroom and the teacher came to class soon after, but his mind was no longer here. He had been hoping that Teacher Liu would say that he could send a letter, and he even didn't feel like going back for lunch.

When school was over in the afternoon, Li Qingshan couldn't wait to leave the school and run to the restaurant. After a while, Li Qingshan ran to the restaurant.

When Li Qingfeng saw his brother rushing into the kitchen, he asked him in confusion, "Qingshan, what's wrong with you?"

Li Qingshan took a breath, looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, I talked to Teacher Liu this morning about sending a letter to our father."

Li Qingfeng was cooking and asked without turning his head: "Lao Liu, what did he say?"

Li Qingshan said depressedly: "Teacher Liu, he said he has to ask his superiors for instructions before writing to me again."

"Well! Then just wait! We don't need a day or two." Li Qingfeng finished cooking the dishes in the pot, put them on the plates, and then continued: "Okay, you take the dishes out first, and we'll talk about it when we get home from work in the evening."

"Oh!" Li Qingshan responded, carried the prepared dish out of the kitchen, asked the chef, and then brought it to the customer's table.

After that, Li Qingshan started serving dishes, clearing plates, and cleaning up. He wondered why he came to work in a restaurant. He might as well go home and tell his brother when he got home in the evening. Alas! He miscalculated.

Dinner was eaten in the restaurant.

After dinner, the two brothers returned home. While soaking their feet, Li Qingshan looked at his elder brother and asked, "Brother, do you think our superiors will agree to let us send a letter to our father?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng immediately rolled his eyes at his brother, and then said unhappily: "I'm not your brother's leader, how would I know!"

Seeing his brother's lost look, he couldn't bear to lie to him. After lighting a cigarette, he said, "Qingshan, the leader has his own considerations. If it's convenient, you can let us send a letter to our father."

"Don't be disappointed. There's still no reply. Maybe Lao Liu will write to you in a couple of days."

"Qingshan, let's wait for a while. If it really doesn't work, we can go back to our hometown in Henan when you have a holiday."

After hearing what his elder brother said, Li Qingshan asked in surprise: "Brother, are you telling the truth?"

"Well, when have I ever lied to you?" Li Qingfeng got up and went to the yard to pour water for washing feet, then returned to the kitchen to put the foot basin away, and then said, "Okay Qingshan, don't think about it, just wait for Lao Liu's letter first!"

"I'm going to bed, you should get some rest too."

Li Qingshan nodded and shouted, "Got it, brother."

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Qingshan, who was attending classes at school, was in great distress. He had been waiting for a reply from Teacher Liu for the past three days. However, today was already the third day and there was still no response. Li Qingshan thought that the plan of sending a letter to his father had failed.

But when school was about to end in the afternoon, he heard someone calling him from outside the window: "Li Qingshan, Teacher Liu wants you to go to the office."

When Li Qingshan heard this, he became excited instantly, but he remained calm on the surface. He walked out of the classroom and asked the classmate who had just called him, "Zhang Chengxiang, what did Teacher Liu call me for?"

Zhang Chengxiang shook his head and said, "I don't know either. You'll find out when you get there!"

"Well, thank you!" Li Qingshan said and walked towards the office.

"fine."

Li Qingshan came to the office and saw that the door was closed. He raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Knock! Knock! Knock!"

"Come in."

Li Qingshan pushed open the door and found that only Teacher Liu was in the office. He closed the door and walked up to him and asked, "Teacher Liu, are you looking for me?"

Liu Chuanzhi glanced at him and said with a smile without beating around the bush: "Last time you told me about sending a letter to your father, the superiors agreed, but..."

Before he could finish, Li Qingshan's eyes turned red and he said excitedly, "Is it true? Teacher Liu."

Liu Chuanzhi patted his shoulder and said gently, "Qingshan, please listen to what I have to say first."

"Teacher Liu, you say." Li Qingshan nodded.

Liu Chuanzhi explained: "Qingshan, although the leaders have approved the letter to your father, you also know that the two sides are far away, transportation is inconvenient, and we don't know when it will be delivered. Will there be any accidents in the middle that may cause the letter to be lost? These are all things we need to consider. Qingshan, do you understand?"

Li Qingshan nodded and said with a sob: "Teacher Liu, I know it's not easy to send letters nowadays, but I still want to send a letter to my father. If the letter cannot be delivered, you can also send a message to my father to let him know that my brother and I are living well in Sijiu City and he doesn't need to worry about us." After saying that, tears flowed down his face.

Liu Chuanzhi felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but he still comforted Li Qingshan and said, "Okay! Qingshan, if you want, I will report the letter to my superiors."

"Don't cry, you are grown men now, so you should shed blood instead of tears. Okay, wipe your tears and go home first!"

Li Qingshan wiped his tears and said with a sob: "Okay, Teacher Liu, I'll go back first."

After leaving the office, Li Qingshan went to the school sink to wash his face, then returned to the classroom, picked up his schoolbag, and walked home.

I don’t plan to go to the restaurant to tell my eldest brother today. I will talk to him when he comes back, otherwise I will make him work again. After thinking about it, I went home with a smile. His bad mood came and went quickly.
