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

"That's great! Yu Shui comes to our house specially to play table tennis. How about we have a game? Sister Fei, would you like to join in?" Xiao Han asked while seeking Sister Fei's opinion.

Sister Fei shook her head slightly, saying, "You guys can have fun. I won't join in. I'm not feeling well today."

"Sister Fei, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel unwell? Do you need me to take you to see a doctor?" Lu Weimin asked with concern.

Hearing this, Xiaohan and Yushui also showed their concern.

Seeing that everyone cared about her so much, Sister Fei felt very warm inside and replied, "It's okay, there's really no need to go to the hospital, it's just a little trouble every month."

Lu Weimin, Xiaohan and Yushui all understood what he meant. Thinking back to the first time she experienced this situation, she was panicked and was taken to the hospital by Lu Weimin overnight. This memory is still vivid in her mind, as clear as if it happened yesterday. Xiaohan couldn't help but look at Lu Weimin.

When Lu Weimin felt Xiaohan's gaze, he immediately understood the feelings behind her eyes that only they could understand.

About two hours later.

With the enthusiastic cheers from Feijie and the rain,

Lu Weimin jumped lightly and completed a slam dunk, successfully winning the one-on-two basketball game.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene reached its peak, and Sister Fei was so excited that her palms almost turned red from clapping.

"Brother Weimin, you can't use martial arts. This is unfair!" Xiaohan thought that Lu Weimin used special techniques to win the game and felt a little dissatisfied.

"Xiao Han, I really didn't use martial arts." Lu Weimin responded with an innocent smile.

In fact, Lu Weimin did use pure physical strength to complete the dunk. Long-term exercise and drinking spiritual springs made his physical fitness far superior to that of ordinary people, and doing this difficult sport has become extremely common for him.

"Are you really useless?" Xiao Han was skeptical.

"Of course it's true, don't you believe me?"

Hearing these words of affirmation, Xiao Han was immediately convinced, "I believe it! Brother Weimin, you are really amazing! No one in my school can match your shot just now!"

After that, Lu Weimin played basketball with his son, while Xiaohan continued her table tennis match with Yushui. Due to physical reasons, Fei chose to stay by the side and accompany everyone to enjoy a good time.

It was not until Li Jing returned from get off work that she saw the two basketball hoops of different sizes that had suddenly appeared in her home and the family happily exercising. She couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised and stopped the car to join them.

The following time became a happy family interaction. "I really envy a family like yours!" Yu Shui watched all this and felt infinite yearning.

As night fell, after dinner, Xiaohan was ready to go back to school, so Lu Weimin first sent Xiaohan to school, and then sent Yushui home.

Sha Zhu was particularly happy to see Lu Weimin returning. He heard the good news of Li Jing's pregnancy from Xiaohan, so he immediately congratulated Lu Weimin, warmly invited him in, and tasted a few glasses of sake together.

Lu Weimin had just returned home from a trip. After chatting happily with his wife Li Jing and Sister Fei at Ermingang for about half an hour, he took a shower and went into the study to continue studying.

After finishing his study, he closed his book and went back to his bedroom to rest. This day was very fulfilling.

In the blink of an eye, it is already May 5rd.

The renovation of Lu Weimin’s home in Siheyuan was finally completed.

He was very satisfied with the craftsmanship of the bricklayer recommended by Liu Lan. Not only did he have superb skills, but he also did the finishing work very carefully and kept the entire environment clean.

In addition to paying the normal wages, Lu Weimin also gave an extra red envelope, which made the bricklayer very happy. He smiled and took his tools to bid farewell to the courtyard.

After learning that Lu Weimin's house had been renovated, many neighbors came to visit.

"It's so beautiful!" Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he saw the new look of Lu Weimin's house, and his heart was full of admiration and yearning.

The same strong feeling of envy arose in Liu Haixin.

When Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai heard everyone's admiration, they also longed to go in and take a look, but due to courtesy they did not ask. In their hearts they felt very jealous.

At night.

(Satisfied) Lu Weimin drove his wife Li Jing, Sister Fei and son to visit their new home.

After seeing the house, Li Jing and Sister Fei were also amazed. They said the house was well decorated and suggested staying there tonight.

However, Lu Weimin explained that a newly renovated room should not be occupied immediately because it takes some time to ventilate and dissipate odors to avoid harmful gases that may affect health.

Although Li Jing and Sister Fei did not know much about this subject, they trusted what Lu Weimin said and did not raise any objections, because they knew that Lu Weimin was a very wise man and that what he said must have made sense.

Under the envious gaze of the neighbors, Lu Weimin drove his family away from the courtyard. At this time, the surrounding residents noticed that Li Jing was pregnant again.

"Director Li, it looks like you're pregnant again?" "Indeed!"

"Lu Weimin's life is so perfect!" "It's true!"

Five years passed quietly, and the news of Jia Zhang's release from prison shocked the neighbors, who all lamented the cruel changes that time has brought to people.

Lu Weimin drove out of the alley where the courtyard was located. As soon as he drove onto the main road, Sister Fei made a suggestion: "It seems that there has been no opportunity for the whole family to take a walk together at night recently. Since it's a rare occasion for us to get together tonight, why not go to the night market?"

After hearing this, his wife Li Jing excitedly agreed: "What a good idea! We can go to Wangfujing for a stroll!"

As long as his wife and Sister Fei were happy, Lu Weimin was willing to cooperate. Soon after, the family arrived at the bustling Wangfujing neighborhood.

Even at night, there were still many pedestrians here, a prosperous scene. However, Lu Weimin knew that the three-year difficult period in the near future would completely change all this, and the prosperity would no longer exist.

After getting rid of the unhappiness in his heart, Lu Weimin accompanied his family to enjoy the nightlife in Wangfujing. When it was late at night, the family went home.

After taking an evening bath, Lu Weimin returns to his study, immersing himself in the world of books for personal learning and improvement.

After finishing his studies, Lu Weimin returned to his room and hugged his wife to prepare for bed. The suffering of ordinary people during the ** period once again emerged in his mind, and he felt that he should do something. Although he had no power to change the macro environment or natural disasters, he could always do something practical within his ability.

"Honey, is something bothering you?" Li Jing suddenly woke up and found her husband staring at the ceiling with his eyes open. She asked in surprise, and gently stroked her husband's angular and handsome face with her fair and delicate hands.

"Nothing!" Lu Weimin always reported good news but not bad news, and he always remained optimistic towards his wife. Moreover, this worry was about what would happen in the future, so of course he would not tell his wife.

"Are you really not worried?" the wife asked.

"It's really nothing!" Lu Weimin answered again.

"Then go to bed early!" said Li Jing.

"Okay! Good night! Go to sleep peacefully." Lu Weimin kissed his wife and closed his eyes. Li Jing gently stroked her belly while holding her husband's warm and thick hands tightly, and gradually fell asleep.

The Jia Dongxu couple who lived in the courtyard also had trouble sleeping that night because they were facing an important day - tomorrow was the day when Jia Zhang was released from prison.

After experiencing the various situations caused by his last release from prison, Jia Dongxu and his wife were more cautious this time and decided not to make it public to avoid any unexpected events from happening again.

The next morning.

After work.

Jia Dongxu asked the workshop supervisor for half a day off, left Hongxing Steelworks and headed for the courtyard. When he returned home and walked through the front yard, he happened to meet Aunt Yan who was washing vegetables by the water pipe.

Seeing Jia Dongxu coming back so early, Aunt Yan was very surprised: "Dongxu, do you have a day off this afternoon? Why are you coming home so early?"

Jia Dongxu quickly shook his head and denied it: "I didn't take a break! How could I ask for leave for no reason! I just came back to get something!"

Aunt Yan said puzzledly: "How strange! I just asked casually, why did he react so strongly? There must be something wrong!"

Not long after Jia Dongxu entered the house, he and his wife Qin Huairu hurried out of the house.

"Where are Jia Dongxu and his wife going in such a hurry? They didn't even take their child with them! They must have left their child to Aunt Yi to take care of again!" Aunt Yan understood that the Jia family was closest to the Yi Zhonghai family in the courtyard. Whenever the couple went out to do business and didn't want to take their son with them, they always asked Aunt Yi to help take care of him.

With past experience, Jia Dongxu and his wife did not rush to the Red Star Women's Prison. Jia Dongxu suggested that they use the money they had planned to spend on the bus to buy food so that they could eat while walking. This way, they would arrive at the prison at the right time to pick up their mother.

After hearing the suggestion, Qin Huairu thought it was indeed cost-effective and practical, and readily agreed. So, the two went to a nearby market to buy some gourds, and took turns enjoying them on the way, eating while walking, enjoying this rare relaxing time.

The two walked slowly towards the Red Star Women's Prison, feeling both relaxed and satisfied, until they arrived at the prison gate.

Carrying a bag, Jia Zhang walked out of the prison gate quickly. Seeing no one came to greet her, Jia Zhang began to complain, but she complained to her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu, and was considerate of her son Jia Dongxu. She thought her son might not have time to pick her up because of work. If it wasn't for work, he would definitely come.

"Stop talking nonsense! Qin Huairu doesn't even think of me as her mother-in-law. She didn't even come here!" Jia Zhang spent five years in the Red Star Women's Prison. During these five years, although she has regained her freedom, Jia Zhang didn't want to stay in this environment for a moment, so she picked up her things and left.

However, she found herself lost after walking a short distance. Perhaps because she had been in prison for five years, her memory had faded and some changes in the streets made her feel unfamiliar. Finally, after many twists and turns, Jia Zhang returned to the familiar old courtyard.
