Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing
Chapter 197: At a loss
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, as traffic resumed, people began to return to work or study. After get off work, Lu Weimin did not go home directly, but went to Liufenggang Hutong on the North Canal to check the situation there. The snow on the hutong road had been basically cleared.
Lu Weimin pushed open the door and found that although the courtyard was covered by a roof, the ground was still full of snow, and some of it overflowed when the door was opened. Manual processing would take a lot of time and effort, and it would be fine to wait for the temperature to rise and melt naturally, but Lu Weimin had his own trick. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he waved his hand and put all the snow into the space storage device he carried with him, and then went into the house. After a thorough inspection, he confirmed that there was no damage caused by the snowstorm, and then he left with a sense of relief.
Afterwards, he went to Chen Xueru's home in Sanlipiao. In the morning, Chen Xueru had returned with her children to live here. Although Li Jing and Sister Fei had invited her to move to Ermingang with her children, Chen Xueru politely declined the proposal. Lu Weimin stepped into the room and asked with concern: "Xueru, is everything okay here?"
Seeing this, Chen Xueru immediately smiled brightly: "Everything is fine!" Lu Weimin hugged her waist and said softly: "That's good! Don't you really want to move there?" In response, Chen Xueru smiled and replied:
"I am grateful enough that Jingjing and Feijie are willing to accept me and the children. How can I disturb them for my own sake?
"Besides, I have two children, and Fei has to take care of two too. If she adds mine, she will have to take care of four children, which is too tiring!
"Besides, Sister Fei is taking care of her daughter after all, so it's only natural. She and I have no blood relationship, so how can I let someone else bear so much responsibility? How can I say this?
"So, I still choose to stay at home here, so that we can keep our own living space and not disturb each other, and everyone can live comfortably."
"I can go find you anytime, and you can come to see me anytime, and Sister Xiaojuan can help take care of the children, how great." Lu Weimin thought Chen Xueru's words made sense, kissed her on the cheek, nodded in agreement, and said, "You're right, everything is up to you."
Chen Xueru buried her head in Lu Weimin's solid chest, hugged his broad waist tightly, and said softly: "This Spring Festival is the most comfortable and happiest I have had in the past few years. Not only have I been accepted by the sisters, but I can also spend the festival with you. I am very satisfied and all the hard work in the past is worth it."
"Thank you for your hard work over the years." Lu Weimin stroked Chen Xueru's back and said softly.
"Not tiring at all. Compared to being your partner, no matter how much I've experienced, it's nothing compared to this! My life is very fulfilling now and I feel very happy." The two hugged each other and talked, and their feelings grew deeper.
About twenty minutes later, Lu Weimin left Chen Xueru's house and returned to the courtyard. The snow here had been cleared on both sides of the road, enough for vehicles to pass. As soon as he entered the front yard, he met his neighbor Yan Bugui and a few others who greeted him enthusiastically.
Yan Bugui and several other neighbors were very friendly to Lu Weimin, and talked about various recent events, especially the heavy snow disaster. After a conversation, Lu Weimin continued to walk to the middle courtyard, where he met Qin Huairu, who was pregnant and close to giving birth. Seeing him coming, Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then turned and went into the house. Lu Weimin took out the key and opened his door, and went into the house to check. After confirming that everything was normal in the house, he checked the lights and made sure the wires were intact. He left after not staying there for long.
This time, I did not return to the old house in Ermingang, but went to Fengju Hutong to check. Everything was fine in that property as well. As for the other properties, I decided to inspect them when I have time.
Finally, Lu Weimin returned home and found the house very warm - several friends were visiting. Zhuzi (Silly Zhu), Liu Lan and their family came with He Yushui to greet Li Jing and the newborn. When talking about the issue of going out to see a doctor on a snowy day, everyone was surprised to learn that Li Jing mentioned that Lu Weimin personally handled the delivery process.
"Sister Jing, you are so lucky to marry Brother Weimin who has so many skills and is almost omnipotent!" Liu Lan exclaimed with envy. This praise made Li Jing feel extremely proud.
As night fell, Lu Weimin walked out of the bathroom after taking a bath and changing his clothes. He saw his young son Lu Aimin playing and laughing with his sister, while his mother Li Jing and sister Fei stood by and watched with satisfaction. Seeing such a warm scene, Lu Weimin's heart was filled with warmth, so he joined them and shared the joy of this moment with the whole family. About an hour later, he left the room to start his own study time.
Time slipped away unknowingly as he focused on studying. After finishing the course, Lu Weimin put down his book and opened his system panel.
[Aerospace Engineering Capability Level 10: 29 billion+/100 billion] Lu Weimin was very satisfied with tonight’s achievements.
If I can continue to be so diligent, the first skill goal of accumulating 100 billion experience points seems to be getting closer and closer.
Lu Weimin came out of the study and first visited his son's room. His son had started sleeping alone. After tidying up his son's bedding, Lu Weimin went into the room where the nanny Fei was to check on his daughter.
Thanks to Sister Fei's help, Lu Weimin and his wife Li Jing felt very relaxed and relieved a lot of the burden of parenting. "Going to bed so early? What a good baby!" Lu Weimin said softly as he sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his little daughter with tenderness. "Our two children are really blessed!" Sister Fei stood up and answered with a satisfied smile.
"This is all thanks to the careful care of both of you!" Lu Weimin responded with praise.
The following afternoon...
Lu Weimin held his son's little hand, while his wife Li Jing walked into the front yard with their daughter in her arms.
Yan Bugui was cleaning his Phoenix bicycle carefully in the front yard. When he saw Lu Weimin and his family of four coming in, Yan Bugui stopped for a moment and felt something strange - he recalled that when they met last time, Li Jing was still pregnant; and now, the child has been born.
"Congratulations! Engineer Lu, Deputy Director Li, congratulations on the arrival of your second baby! Is it a young master or a **?" Yan Bugui ran forward and asked with a smile on his face.
Lu Weimin smiled slightly: "It's a girl!"
Although Yan Bugui thought that boys were better, he said, "That's great! Having a brother and a sister is the perfect combination! Oh, she's so pretty, with such a small face and big watery eyes. She's just like a beautiful porcelain doll, so cute!"
Soon, Aunt Yan and other neighbors gathered around, each showing genuine joy and praising: "What a lovely daughter! The little girl is so pretty."
As a mother, Li Jing was of course very pleased to see the enthusiasm of the people around her and their constant praise for her daughter.
At this time, the old lady of the Jia family had just returned from buying sweet potatoes. When she heard that Li Jing was pregnant, she listened attentively.
After learning that Li Jing gave birth to a little girl, the old lady's ugly face immediately showed a satisfied smile. She quickly ran back to her own courtyard and chuckled:
"Dongxu, Huairu, have you heard? The Lu couple has another money-loser. I'm so happy! Huairu, you must give birth to a son in the future to bring honor to our family!"
Before Qin Huairu could speak, Jia Dongxu said confidently: "Don't worry, Mom. I am sure Huairu is pregnant with a boy. This way, we will have two men in our family!"
Qin Huairu was secretly worried in her heart: What if it was another girl?
However, seeing her husband and mother-in-law so excited, she didn't dare to speak out her concerns, fearing that she would be scolded for pouring cold water on them. She could only pray silently for a little boy.
At this time, Jia Dongxu hurried out to see the new life of the Lu family. Not long after, he came back and said with a jealous look:
"I really can't stand it anymore. The wife of the Lu family clearly gave birth to a money-losing seed, but those neighbors are too shameless and are vying to curry favor with the couple, saying how beautiful the little girl is, and how good it would be to have a daughter, and so on!
In the past, when other neighbors gave birth to daughters, their comments were not like this. They said one thing in front of people and another behind their backs. It was really disgusting!"
Qin Huairu felt irritated when she heard what her mother-in-law and husband said, so she walked out the door and came to the front of the yard. As expected, she saw that Lu Weimin's house was being enthusiastically watched by a group of neighbors, and she was full of jealousy.
That night, Lu Weimin and his family spent the night in the courtyard.
On Wednesday,
Sister Fei felt bored at home, so she drove her jeep to meet up with her friends. Unexpectedly, the car broke down on the way back.
Sister Fei was at a loss for a moment. She was alone with two children and the car broke down. What should she do? Then she had a flash of inspiration and thought of a repair shop not far away.
She remembered that Lu Weimin used to work in the repair shop there, and Uncle Zhang was the director of the factory.
Therefore, Sister Fei took Lu Aimin's hand, held another baby in her arms, and walked to the repair shop, and went straight to the factory office to find Director Zhang. Unexpectedly, Director Zhang was not there, so she went to the maintenance workshop.
"Master Cao, hello! Can I help you? My car broke down nearby. Can you tow it back and have it fixed? I wanted to find Director Zhang, but I didn't see him in the factory!"
When Lu Weimin and Li Jing got married, Master Ma and Master Cao both went to congratulate them. Sister Fei still remembers them both clearly, but she can't remember all their names.
When Master Cao later arranged his son's wedding, he invited Lu Weimin's family to drink, and this time Sister Fei finally remembered it. When she entered the maintenance area, she saw Master Cao sitting there, in a happy mood.
When Master Cao saw Sister Fei coming in with two children, he was slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and stood up immediately.
