Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

Upon hearing the news, the neighbors couldn't help but shout in surprise. After all, in their eyes, Lu Weimin's family was very powerful: his wife was the director of the neighborhood committee and had a very strong family background. They didn't expect that they couldn't buy anything either, which made them feel a little balanced.

Some people who had already bought something were secretly delighted to learn that Lu Weimin didn't buy anything. They had always been surpassed by Lu Weimin's family in every aspect, and this time they could finally vent their anger.

In particular, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were so happy when they learned that Lu Weimin failed to buy the supplies, and they were thinking in their hearts how miserable his family's future would be.

However, the stingy Yan Bugui was a little surprised to hear that Lu Weimin didn't buy any supplies. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Weimin, my family got some cornmeal. If your family is short of supplies, I can give you half of it."

Everyone was surprised by Yan Bugui's generosity. But Lu Weimin did not accept the proposal. Instead, he smiled and said, "Uncle, thank you for your enthusiasm, but our family is not short of supplies. We will borrow from you when needed! Now I'm going back to the house first!"

After Lu Weimin left, a neighbor laughed and joked with Yan Bugui: "Since Weimin doesn't want it, I'll take half of it."

The result was rejected immediately, "You wish! No difference!" Everyone laughed, and they understood that this did not mean that the old man had changed his stingy character, but was just trying to curry favor with Lu Weimin.

The uncles in the compound were not surprised by Lu Weimin's courtesy. To them, who wouldn't want to curry favor with Lu Weimin's family? After Lu Weimin entered the yard, he did not go home directly, but went to Sha Zhu's house.

As soon as Lu Weimin entered the house, he saw two or three bags of flour piled up in the corner of Sha Zhu's house. Seeing Lu Weimin, Sha Zhu and Liu Lan were very happy: "Brother Weimin, it's a good thing you reminded us to store more supplies. Now everyone is rushing to buy supplies. Even if you have money, you can't buy anything!"

Lu Weimin smiled and replied, "Just buy it."

After staying for a while, Lu Weimin left Sha Zhu's house and drove directly out of the courtyard.

On the same day, he also had to visit his other wife, Chen Xueru. He had to be fair and impartial to both wives.

Lu Weimin drove to the vicinity of Sanlihe, parked the car, and walked into Chen Xueru's home.

The living room was pitch black, but the light from the bedroom was shining. Lu Weimin quickened his pace and walked into the bedroom.

Chen Xueru was wearing a black silk suspender pajamas, lying on her side on the bed, with her curvy figure and legs crossed, exuding a charming charm. She was gently coaxing her daughter to sleep, her face full of love.

"Husband!" Chen Xueru was overjoyed when she saw Lu Weimin coming in. She immediately got out of bed, ran to him and threw herself into his arms.

Shortly after,

Chen Xueru lay in Lu Weimin's arms with a satisfied smile. He stroked her gradually bulging, snow-white belly and felt the little life in her belly.

"Brother Weimin, I heard that the country will implement a food coupon system. Many people outside are stockpiling food. Do you know about this?"

"Of course I do! Did you go buy some?"

"I wanted to stock up more supplies, but the line was very long when I got off work, and the food had already been sold out. Fortunately, Sister Xiaojuan helped me find a way and bought a bag of flour. This flour will last for a while. I am only worried that my parents who live in the countryside will have nothing to eat!"

Lu Weimin praised Sister Xiaojuan and said, "Don't worry about the supplies. Everything will be solved."

"As for your parents, I'm free tomorrow afternoon, so let's go back and give them some things."

Chen Xueru was delighted to hear this. "That's great! This makes me feel more at ease. My parents will be very happy when they see our supplies tomorrow!"

The next afternoon,

Lu Weimin first drove to an uninhabited place, loaded a whole truck of supplies from a private warehouse, and then went to pick up Chen Xueru.

"So many supplies? Husband, how did you get them?" Chen Xueru was very surprised when she saw the car full of items.

"If you say I stockpiled it in advance, would you believe it?" Lu Weimin said to her without hiding anything.

"I believe it! You are amazing, husband." Chen Xueru was full of admiration. After more than two hours.

Lu Weimin took his wife and supplies back to Chen Xueru's hometown, Chenjia Village.

When the villagers heard that Old Chen's daughter and son-in-law drove a car to deliver supplies, the whole village was boiling with envy.

Chen Xueru's parents were even more delighted, finally they no longer had to worry about going hungry. Especially with such a handsome and capable son-in-law, they felt very proud and liked him very much.

Chen Xueru was full of pride and held her husband's hand tightly.

Four days have passed since the promulgation of the Interim Measures for Printing Urban Grain Supply Certificates. The phenomenon of panic buying of grain has become increasingly serious, and price gouging and illegal trading activities have intensified and quickly spread across the country.

This problem became increasingly serious and attracted high attention from senior officials. To prevent the situation from getting worse, relevant departments took decisive measures.

First, the regulations on purchasing grain with coupons were strictly enforced, and a group of illegal traders who drove up prices were severely punished. In the Gyeonggi region alone, more than a dozen particularly serious criminals were dealt with from the end of August to the beginning of September, and the panic buying was finally curbed, stabilizing the grain market.

The common people who bought food were secretly proud of themselves. After all, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food now, and it is useless without food coupons.

Therefore, those who bought food felt that they had made a good deal and were in a very happy mood.

At home in Ermingang Hutong. Dinner time.

Another sumptuous dinner.

Even in the era of food stamps, Lu Weimin's family's food supply was not affected, and there was still meat and grain for every meal.

At this time, Sister Fei couldn't help asking, "Wei Min, our meals are so rich every day, where does the food come from?"

His wife Li Jing and Xiao Han were also curious. When they saw Sister Fei asking the question, they looked at Lu Weimin, wanting to know the answer.

Lu Weimin smiled and said, "Do you really want to know?" "Of course! Just tell me!" Sister Fei urged.

"Let's do this! Tomorrow is Sunday. If you are interested, come with me to the Beiyunhe River and you will find out!" Lu Weimin revealed a mysterious smile.

After hearing what Lu Weimin said, Sister Fei suddenly regretted asking this question, but since she had already asked it, she could only continue to follow and see.

Early the next morning.

Lu Weimin drove his wife Li Jing, sister Fei and Xiaohan to the North Canal. Although they left home very early, many anglers had already gathered on the river bank.

Since the implementation of the food coupon system, more people have chosen to spend their leisure time here. The jeep stopped in front of No. 16 Liufenggang Hutong, and everyone walked into the house. Lu Weimin came to the basement door and opened it.

"There is a basement here? This is the first time we discovered it! Wei Min, what other secrets have you hidden?" The girls were all surprised. They never expected that there was such a space hidden.

Lu Weimin smiled and said, "Let's go down and take a look!"

Lu Weimin was the first to step into the basement, followed by Li Jing, Sister Fei and the children, and finally Xiaohan. When the three women saw the basement full of supplies, they were stunned.

"Honey, when did you buy so many things?" Li Jing asked Lu Weimin happily. Lu Weimin replied:

"Part of these reserves were accumulated by my master, and the other part was accumulated slowly by me. Although I didn't know at the time that the country would implement a food coupon system, I always felt that it would not hurt to stockpile some items just in case."

After hearing Lu Weimin's explanation, Li Jing, Fei Jie and Xiao Han all felt enlightened and became very excited. With these resources, their future family life would no longer have to worry about food and clothing.

"My dear, you are so great. You have brought us a great sense of security! Following you, my children and I, as well as our whole family, will never have to worry about going hungry!" Li Jing looked at Lu Weimin with admiration. This was the partner she had carefully chosen. He was so outstanding! This reaffirmed her self-confidence.

Sister Fei and Xiaohan also gazed at Lu Weimin with respect.

After staying in the basement for less than ten minutes, Lu Weimin led everyone back to the surface, and then he began training in national martial arts.

Several ladies played with the children, creating a warm atmosphere.

Exercise time always passes quickly, and soon it is lunch time.

Lu Weimin was very satisfied, "Let's go and enjoy lunch together!"

Lu Weimin and his family went to eat at Beiyunhe Restaurant. This restaurant is usually very popular, but the number of customers has dropped significantly. Since the introduction of the food coupon policy, people have to pay and use coupons when dining out, which has greatly reduced the number of people willing to eat out.

After lunch, Lu Weimin sent the family back home. "Weimin, will you continue to practice national martial arts techniques there in the afternoon?" Sister Fei asked Lu Weimin with expectant eyes.

Lu Weimin shook his head: "I won't go this afternoon. I have some business to attend to at Lou Zhenhua's place." "That's it." Sister Fei expressed some regret.

"Mom, do you need to go to the Beiyunhe area to do some work? If you want, I can accompany you." Li Jing turned to ask Sister Fei. "No need to bother, there's nothing special, I just got used to spending every weekend there, watching Wei Min practice martial arts, which makes me feel comfortable! Some people like to drink tea and watch folk art performances, but I enjoy watching Wei Min practice martial arts. I have formed such a hobby without realizing it! The power of inertia is incredible!" Sister Fei shook her head and sighed.

After saying goodbye to his family, Lu Weimin came to Zhenhua's home. In a private study, Zhenhua handed over a bag full of gold bars. These were gold bars converted from the profits brought by the cooperative company.

According to the agreement between the two, all the profits were converted into gold bars and given to Lu Weimin. Because in Lu Weimin's view, only the profits that are truly in his hands are real wealth, and the rest are just a string of numbers.

Moreover, these precious properties were all obtained from his private collection. He was worried about what to do if they were seized.

Now, by converting Lu Weimin's earnings from the Hong Kong company into cash, it would be most appropriate to give him gold bars. It is a win-win situation. After receiving the gold bars, Lu Weimin is even more motivated.

Sitting at his desk, he continued to write a business plan for the coming year. When Lou Zhenhua saw the business plan, his eyes sparkled and he was extremely excited. Just from this document, he foresaw that Xiangjiang Company would soon make huge profits.
