Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

He Yuzhu took a sip of water before continuing, "There is only one household in the front yard, living in the west wing. There are three of them, and the man's name is Yan Bugui."

Li Qingshan heard the name and almost spit out the food in his mouth. He quickly drank some water and swallowed the food in his mouth before asking, "Zhu Zi, is there anyone named Yan Bugui?"

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng smiled and took a sip of wine, then looked at He Yuzhu to see how he would explain.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu knew that Qingshan was wrong, so he dipped his finger in water and wrote the three words Yan Bugui on the table, explaining, "Qingshan, you are wrong. These are the three words, Yan Bugui."

Li Qingshan nodded and said, "Oh, oh, I see. I was wondering how someone could use salt as their surname without knowing how to eat it!"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at Li Qingshan and said to the two of them, "This Yan Bugui just moved in a few days ago. I don't know where he moved from. I only know that he is an elementary school teacher."

"I don't know the woman's name. She also does housework and takes care of the household. She is pregnant."

"The Yan family has only one boy, who is four or five years younger than me. His name is Yan Jiecheng and he is in primary school."

"No, that's all the situation in the yard."

After saying that, He Yuzhu picked up the spicy mattress, poured some soup into the rice in front of him, put down the spicy rabbit in his hand, picked up the chopsticks, stirred it to mix the rice and the soup of the spicy rabbit together, and then ate the rice in big mouthfuls.

Li Qingfeng finished the wine in his glass and stopped drinking. While eating rice and vegetables, he asked He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, why didn't your father buy a house with a separate entrance and courtyard when he bought it?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu pouted and said to Li Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, I don't know why my father didn't buy a yard with a private entrance and yard."

He really didn't know why he didn't buy a house with its own entrance and yard. He Yuzhu asked his father, but his father just said that he had no money and didn't have enough money. After a long time, he stopped asking.

In fact, he envied the yard of Li Qingfeng and his brother. They could do whatever they wanted in the yard behind closed doors. Unlike at home, when they could not eat delicious food in peace, they had to close the doors and windows for fear that the aroma would escape.

People with dignity won't come to someone's door to ask for food. I'm just afraid of those shameless people who, when they see someone making delicious food and smell the aroma, shamelessly come to someone's door to ask for it, and will even curse if you don't give them anything.

He Yuzhu asked Li Qingfeng: "Brother Qingfeng, how much did you pay for this yard?"

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "I bought it for 1200 dollars."

He Yuzhu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in surprise, "So many?"

Not giving up, he asked again: "Brother Qingfeng, your yard is 1200 dollars? Is that true?"

Li Qingfeng nodded and said with a smile: "Really."

He Yuzhu said: "You are really rich."

Li Qingfeng smiled, said nothing, lowered his head and started eating his food in big mouthfuls.

He thought, if He Yuzhu knew that he had bought a separate house for his brother on Qianmen Street, he didn't know what He Yuzhu would say.

After finishing his meal, Li Qingfeng asked his brother to wash the dishes, took out a cigarette, and said, "Zhu Zi, do you smoke?"

He Yuzhu wanted to smoke, but he was afraid that his father would beat him if he smelled the cigarette on him, so he looked hesitant.

Li Qingfeng looked at him wanting to smoke but not daring to, and laughed out loud: "Haha!" He handed him a cigarette and said: "Here. Zhuzi, if your father knew, you wouldn't say it was me who smoked. The smell of the cigarette is on you."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes lit up, he took the cigarette, and said with a silly smile: "Yeah! Why didn't I think of it."

Li Qingfeng took a match, lit a cigarette for him and himself, took a deep breath, and two seconds later, he slowly exhaled a thick green smoke from his mouth.

He Yuzhu watched Brother Qingfeng smoking and tried to imitate him, but just after taking a puff of the cigarette, he was choked by the smoke and started coughing: "Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Li Qingfeng found He Yuzhu's expression a little funny. He reached out and patted her on the back to calm her down. He said, "Zhuzi, I thought you knew how to smoke. If you can't, don't smoke."

After a while, He Yuzhu felt better in his lungs, and said, "It's okay, Brother Qingfeng, I'll have to learn how to smoke sooner or later."

Li Qingfeng smiled and asked He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, why doesn't the family of Yi Zhonghai in your courtyard have any children?"

He Yuzhu took a puff of cigarette, coughed twice, and then replied: "I don't know either. I heard that his wife was injured and can't have children."

"Oh!" Li Qingfeng nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. He just lowered his head and thought about something. After a while, he smiled and asked, "Zhu Zi, I heard that Auntie is also pregnant. Do you want a brother or a sister?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "My mother is fine, but she is a little malnourished." He took a puff of cigarette and said with a silly smile, "I want a younger sister. Younger sisters are more obedient and not as naughty as boys when they are young."

Li Qingfeng smiled after hearing this and said jokingly: "Zhu Zi, were you naughty when you were a child?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Brother Qingfeng, that's different. I just want a sister anyway."

"Okay, you have the final say." Li Qingfeng continued, "Zhu Zi, if you have any difficulties at home, come to me. It's no problem for me to help you get some food and drink."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded heavily and said, "I understand, Brother Qingfeng."

After a while, He Yuzhu saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said to Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan: "Brother Qingfeng, Qingshan, it's getting late, I'm going home first."

Li Qingfeng nodded, looked at the unopened bottle of Lotus White on the table, and said, "Zhu Zi, take this bottle of Lotus White back."

He turned to his brother and said, "Qingshan, bring a watermelon back to Zhuzi and ask Master He and Auntie to go back and taste it."

"Got it, brother." Li Qingshan responded and went out of the kitchen to get the watermelon.

He Yuzhu said embarrassedly: "Don't do that! Brother Qingfeng, I don't have food here and I have to take it! It's not appropriate!"

Li Qingfeng looked at his brother who came back with a watermelon, and said to He Yuzhu: "What's the matter with whether it's appropriate or not? It's okay. I don't have a drinking habit. Take it back and let Master He drink it! I bought a lot of watermelons, take it back for Aunt and Uncle He to taste." As he said that, he stuffed the wine directly into He Yuzhu's arms.

He Yuzhu took the lotus flower and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Qingfeng, I will go back first."

Li Qingfeng nodded and said, "Well, Zhuzi, come to my house often when you have nothing to do. I won't send you off."

"Yeah." He Yuzhu turned around and walked out of the kitchen, followed Li Qingshan out of the yard. Walking all the way to the gate of No. 95 Courtyard, He Yuzhu said to Qingshan: "Qingshan, you don't have to see me off. We are just at the doorstep. It's too late. I won't invite you to sit at my house. You go back first!"
