Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing
Chapter 10 Confident
This means that doing things yourself rather than watching others work helps speed up the progression of skills and build on them over time.
After just one day like this, the profit is indeed not small.
[Auto Repair Skill Level 3: 679 / 1000]
Such progress is equal to the achievements of other apprentices' years of hard work.
What a fruitful day.
Ring ring ring!
When the workers hear the bell ringing, the day's work comes to an end.
"Master Cao, Master Lu, let's go out for dinner. It's my treat today!" Master Ma said with a smile, patting Lu Weimin's shoulder.
Every time I see Master Ma smile, I always feel that his eyes will turn into a straight line.
That smile seemed to be tailor-made for him.
"Brother Ma, let's do it next time. I'll be the host then.
But not today, my sister is waiting for me to buy groceries and cook at home.
Although he was willing to enjoy the restaurant's food with Master Ma and Master Cao to enhance their friendship, Lu Weimin had to go home to take care of his little sister.
"You are such a good brother! However, I will still be the host next time. Please remember that you have not received your salary yet; even if you do, it will take another month.
'
"Okay! I'll listen to you, Brother Ma!"
The title "Brother Ma" made Master Ma look particularly happy.
After leaving get off work, Lu Weimin headed towards Dongdan No. 1 Vegetable Market to buy food.
He also wanted to try some meat dishes tonight, but he was a little hesitant about whether to choose chicken or pork.
If it weren't for the fifty yuan compensation he received from the "bad guys" as a cover, it would have been inevitable that people would be suspicious of Lu Weimin, a refugee who came to this city and wanted to enjoy such a sumptuous meal just after he started working. But now he can buy delicious food openly.
Although Dongdan No. 1 Vegetable Market is much closer than Chaoyang Market, it is still a long walk.
On the way to the market, to kill time, he checked his virtual storage space.
The results are very encouraging:
"Incredible! How come the chicks and ducklings I bought this morning have grown so big in just one day? What's even more surprising is that the mature chickens and ducks can lay so many eggs. From now on, I don't have to buy eggs from outside, and I can even sell them to others! It seems that time in the storage space runs much faster than in reality!"
Lu Weimin was considering whether to take out a chicken from the space he carried with him to make soup instead of going to Dongdan Market to buy ingredients.
But then I thought about the chicken soup I had last night and decided to change the taste.
While he was thinking, there was a roar of a car suddenly coming from behind him. Passers-by turned their eyes to him, revealing a kind of yearning in their eyes.
People who could drive a car during this period were definitely not ordinary people.
Although people are generally proud of being farmers or working class, this view has not completely changed because New China was founded only two or three years ago, and there is still a certain form of envy for the wealthy people in their hearts.
At this moment, Lu Weimin keenly noticed the abnormal sound made by the tires touching the road, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the car.
The car stopped in front of a grain and oil store. The driver appeared first, and then a neatly dressed middle-aged man got out of the car calmly.
The man is dressed in his signature ** suit and is very elegant.
Employees at the grain and oil store have already started loading goods into the trunks of cars.
Lu Weimin glanced at the tire and thought for a moment before deciding to speak out a reminder: "Sir, please note that the left rear tire of your vehicle looks like it's about to burst. It's best not to load too much supplies, as it may cause unexpected problems on the road!"
The man didn't have time to answer, but the driver frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This tire is the latest one I've replaced. Besides, I noticed that you came from the opposite direction and didn't even look at our car. You just made up such nonsense. If this isn't intentional trouble, what is it?"
Lu Weimin did not feel angry when facing the driver's questioning. In the other party's eyes, his reminder did come a bit inexplicably.
Lu Weimin explained: "My major is car repair.
I can identify a car's fault by listening to the sound it makes.
'
In fact, he was able to pinpoint the cause of the problem because the sound didn't sound right and quickly locate it.
But such extraordinary skills obviously cannot be directly told to outsiders.
The driver still had a skeptical attitude and asked, "Can you tell the location of the fault just by the sound? Are you kidding?"
The man in the ** suit observed Lu Weimin and saw that he was sincere and didn't seem to be aimless, so he put out his cigar and told the driver, "Go check it out!"
"Got it, Mr. Lou!" Although the driver didn't quite understand his boss's actions, he still followed the instructions and went forward to carefully check the condition of the tire.
After a while he said: "There is indeed a crack, but it won't have much impact. This is a common phenomenon. It can be solved by going to the maintenance station tomorrow. There will be no problem in transporting supplies.
'
As he spoke, the driver looked at Lu Weimin with dissatisfaction, as if he was bothered by Lu Weimin's meddling and wasting his time.
"It seems like I was worrying too much!" Lu Weimin was indifferent by nature and didn't take the driver's reaction to heart.
The middle-aged man in ** clothes was more knowledgeable than the driver. He knew at a glance that Lu Weimin was special. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Then you take the things home first, and then wait for me somewhere else.
'
Even though he thought this was unnecessary, the driver did not dare to disobey his boss and had to agree.
After loading all the items, the driver drove away.
But they hadn't even driven a hundred meters.
Suddenly there was a loud bang and the tires exploded. The powerful shock wave knocked a cyclist nearby to the ground.
"Something really happened!"
Lou Zhenhua opened his eyes wide, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked surprised.
"That young man was so smart that he could predict the tire was about to burst just by the sound! The doctor told me that he had heart problems and couldn't stand any shock. Fortunately, I was not in the car at the time, otherwise..."
Thinking back on it all, Lou Zhenhua became more frightened, extremely fortunate, and deeply grateful to the young man named Lu.
*
The benefactor of the Lou family! Brother Weimin, I'm injured!
In Lou's house,
"Why does the master look so grim? What happened?"
Even though we live in a new country and society today, Ms. Lou Tan is still accustomed to calling her husband "Master" at home.
"My wife probably doesn't know yet. If I hadn't met a kind-hearted young man who gave me a tip, I would have had a heart attack by now!" Lou Zhenhua still felt a little scared as he held his wife's hand, and continued to recount what had just happened.
"Amitabha, I sincerely thank the Buddha for protecting our master and keeping him safe and sound! That young man is truly a great benefactor to our Lou family. Has the master ever expressed his gratitude to him?" Mrs. Lou Tan, who has been a devout Buddhist since childhood, believes that favors must be repaid to avoid feeling guilty.
Lou Zhenhua is not as religious as his wife, but he understands the importance of being grateful:
"I will find him! Even though I don't know the boy's name or where he works, he looks outstanding and eye-catching, so it won't be too difficult to find him.
"
Only then did Lou Tan feel relieved, "That's great!"
"Father and mother, what do you think of my painting?"
At this time, a girl with pigtails, about eleven or twelve years old, came over happily, holding a piece of drawing paper.
When they saw their daughter Lou Xiao'e coming, the father and mother couldn't help but smile happily.
...
In the courtyard.
While dining at Lu Weimin's house,
"Gulp gulp!" Cheng Zhihan picked up the bowl and drank the hot soup.
Observing Zhihan's face which was becoming more and more charming and healthy, Lu Weimin's heart was filled with satisfaction and relief.
When I first left my hometown, due to the scarcity of food, except for some parts of my body that did not shrink, all other parts of my body became thinner and thinner.
Especially the cheeks, which still showed signs of hunger.
However, she was gifted; since arriving in Chengjing, with a stable diet and sufficient nutrition, the color of her face improved day by day, and she gradually gained weight.
"Brother Wei Min, haven't you eaten? Why are you always looking at me? Is my face dirty?" Cheng Zhihan was very attentive to the condition of Brother Wei Min and quickly discovered that he was staring at her.
Lu Weimin: "Of course not! I'm just happy to see that you can fill your stomach and enjoy the dishes and soups I cook! I feel that I have done my duty to your father by not letting him starve with me!"
Cheng Zhihan said:
"As long as I can be with Brother Weimin, I can accept any food!"
In Lu Weimin's view, this is the sister's trust and attachment to her brother.
Now that her biological father has passed away, he is the only "relative" left:
After dinner, Lu Weimin decided to go out for a stroll to relax, and Cheng Zhihan naturally followed him.
"Brother Weimin, are you two going somewhere? It's getting quite late!"
As soon as I stepped out of the house, I ran into Xu Xiaomiao.
As soon as he saw Cheng Zhihan, his eyes lit up and he walked briskly forward to greet her warmly.
Xu Xiaomiao, now fourteen years old, is three years younger than Shen Zhu, but his smile carries a slightly indescribable feeling, and he looks straight at Cheng Zhihan.
It is obvious that such little girls have an irresistible attraction to him. It can be seen that this guy is born with the ability to speak eloquently and deal with women. This may be one of the reasons why he will be able to capture many hearts in TV dramas in the future.
"Ah! It's Xiaomao! We have something to do outside!" Lu Weimin did not reveal that they were just going for a walk, for fear that this guy would pester him and go with him.
After going out,
Lu Weimin felt it was necessary to prepare Cheng Zhihan in advance: "The boy named Xu Xiaomao that I met before was not actually a decent kid.
If he initiates a conversation with you in the future, just ignore him.
And he must tell me anything he wants to say!"
Cheng Zhihan looked at Lu Weimin with her beautiful eyes:
"Brother Weimin, I understand.
Besides, I don't even talk to other boys!"
"That's wise! You know what? Brother Weimin is doing this for your own good.
"As he said this, Lu Weimin happily tapped Cheng Zhihan's little head.
"Yeah, I understand!" Cheng Zhihan smiled sweetly.
The two were strolling outside.
Suddenly, Cheng Zhihan's eyes sparkled:
"Hey! Brother Weimin, there seems to be a garden ahead, do you want to go over there?"
"all right!"
The garden was picturesque and filled with visitors. The two of them were very happy because they had discovered such a wonderful place to visit.
They roamed freely among the nature in the park.
I didn't go home until late at night.
Under the night,
at home,
Sitting at home and quickly reading " ** Works", it is really refreshing for Lu Weimin to constantly absorb new knowledge. The knowledge points that keep flashing in his mind are:
【Chinese language skills +10】
【Social system awareness +10】
[Military Strategic Literacy +10]
【Philosophical literacy +10】
[Political theory teaching level +10]
Just as Lu Weimin was immersed in self-improvement, Cheng Zhihan came back to the room with an anxious look and crying voice:
"Brother Weimin, the situation is not good! My legs are bleeding, am I going to die?"
Cheng Zhihan now seemed extremely panicked. She recalled the situation before her adoptive father's death - the same thing was bleeding from the corner of his lips.
The current situation is quite similar to that time, except for the location where the blood is flowing out.
Hearing this, Lu Weimin stood up suddenly.
Then he hurried towards Cheng Zhihan and saw bloodstains on Cheng Zhihan's legs.
"Are you injured anywhere else?"
“No.
I was reading a book on the chair when I suddenly found that it became moist, which made me feel very uncomfortable. So I looked and was scared to death! So I immediately asked you to come over, Brother Weimin.
"
After hearing this, Lu Weimin already had an idea.
I guess this might be a physiological reaction caused by Cheng Zhihan's first menstruation.
Some girls develop early, some develop later.
At the age of thirteen, this situation is quite normal, but as a boy, he always feels a little uncomfortable when talking about such topics:
"Don't be nervous, it's not serious. I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup!"
At this time, Lu Weimin's tone became gentle.
"Okay! Then I'll go back and change my pants! Brother Weimin, you are really knowledgeable!"
Cheng Zhihan's inner panic quickly subsided.
A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lu Weimin, and then he turned and left.
Then, Lu Weimin went to the front yard to borrow a car from Yan Bugui.
At first, Yan Bugui was hesitant and made various excuses to refuse to lend the money.
Lu Weimin was not surprised at this reaction, because he knew from the original plot that this "Feige" bicycle was a treasure in Yan Bugui's heart, and he had to clean it every day; even when his wife's family came to Beijing to visit, he never lent it out, let alone lend it to his children. He usually chose to go fishing alone for fun; so how could he lend it out to neighbors casually?
However, Lu Weimin was confident about this and handed over a dime, saying, "Can I borrow it? I need to take my sister to see a doctor. I promise to return it immediately and in good condition. If there is any damage, I will personally repair it for you until you are satisfied."
'
"Wow! Weimin, you are so polite. Neighbors should help each other! Since you asked to use the car, how could I not lend it to you?" Yan Bugui had never seen such a sensible and generous neighbor. He took the money excitedly and immediately handed the keys to Lu Weimin.
After getting the keys, Lu Weimin didn't have time to pay attention to Yan Bugui. He pushed the car out of the yard.
Cheng Zhihan had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Brother Weimin appear, she immediately walked up to him and sat naturally in the back seat, hugging his waist.
"Are you ready?"
