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

The situation gradually changed.

At first, there were a few braised pork dishes to enjoy, then stir-fried pork shreds, then scrambled eggs, and gradually it became a single vegetable dish. At first, there was fried leeks to eat, and then I could only drink some green leafy vegetable soup boiled in water. As time went on, even this became porridge. Finally, the rice in the porridge became increasingly scarce, until it was completely replaced by sweet potatoes. The change from rich food to barely filling the stomach took less than half a month.

When everyone was enjoying the meal, people's liking for Jia Zhang naturally doubled.

Now, as the financial pressure of the commune increased, when he saw Jia Zhang again, he regarded her as a devourer of excess food. The more he saw her, the more uncomfortable he felt. Jia Zhang's work gradually changed from easy to heavy. Her originally rosy complexion turned haggard, and her weight dropped sharply by more than ten kilograms. She was in great pain and deeply regretted her choice at that time.

One day, she could no longer bear this kind of life, so she asked her superiors to let her return to the city. But the head of the commune said, "This is impossible! Jia Zhang, since you have returned here and enjoyed the food benefits of our commune, you must bear the corresponding social responsibilities. How can you just leave because you have consumed the wealth of the commune? This behavior will set a bad example for others."

In fact, in addition to this consideration, the main reason for not allowing Jia Zhang to return to the city was probably because they were afraid that she would spread unfavorable news about the village in the city, causing negative social evaluation.

Hearing this refusal, Jia Zhang fell into confusion. After a few days of persistence, she could not hold on any longer and quietly fled the village on a dark night, but was unexpectedly intercepted by villagers with torches and steel forks and escorted back. She was threatened that if she tried to escape again, she would be sent to a labor camp for the crime of embezzling public assets; even if she successfully escaped back to the city, she would be recaptured and tried. Faced with such a situation, although Jia Zhang was extremely desperate, she did not dare to act rashly. The attitude of the villagers was very clear, and they gave her a certain degree of "punishment" measures. For a period of time afterwards, Jia Zhang no longer dared to plan to return to the city.

From then on, Jia Zhang underwent the so-called "reform" in the countryside.

In the city,

In a courtyard.

As Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu ate sweet potatoes, they recalled the news brought by the villagers - the gist of it was that Jia Zhang lived a very comfortable life in the countryside, working with everyone every day, eating free group meals, and being free. The couple felt very envious after hearing this.

That day, Lu Weimin, his wife, eldest son Lu Aimin and youngest daughter Lu Fei, returned to the courtyard with their whole family.

Sha Zhu and Liu Lan and his wife were also present.

As everyone chatted, Li Jing casually mentioned why she hadn't seen Jia Zhang for a long time. Liu Lan smiled and said, "Jia Zhang has returned to the village to live."

Lu Weimin was surprised when he heard Liu Lan's words. Because in the original story, Jia Zhang was very afraid of being driven back to the countryside by Qin Huairu. Now, she took the initiative to return to the countryside to live.

"Why would she go back to the countryside?"

Sha Zhu explained: "The reason why Jia Zhang was willing to return to the countryside was to enjoy those free meals!"

Liu Lan continued, "I heard from Jia Dongxu that the food in the collective canteen of the rural commune is very delicious! When the neighbors heard about it, they all envied Jia Zhangshi!"

After hearing this, Lu Weimin couldn't help but want to laugh, because he knew the real situation of the collective canteen very well. At first, the dishes might indeed be rich, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future!

However, it was a good thing that Jia Zhang returned to her hometown, so that she wouldn't have to go back to the courtyard to face her ugly face. It would be great if she could never come back to the city again.

In the blink of an eye, it was weekend night again and Xiaohan returned home from school.

As usual, the family had dinner, took a walk, played table tennis, and took a bath, while Lu Weimin went into the study to read and study.

Night falls.

Xiao Han tossed and turned in bed. It was a rare night when she could go home from school. She wondered in her heart whether Brother Wei Min would come to see her.

She was looking forward to Wei Min's visit, but she was too embarrassed to invite him over directly.

At this moment, the door creaked open. Xiao Han was startled and looked up.

Seeing Lu Weimin coming into the room, she immediately smiled, jumped up from the bed and threw herself into Brother Weimin's arms, saying, "Brother Weimin! I missed you so much! I thought you wouldn't come today!"

"No way! You can only go home once a week, and I miss you too!" Lu Weimin said as he took Xiaohan into his arms and slowly walked towards the bed.

I was surprised and delighted! Could it be that I was really pregnant?

It was a day in early September.

Lu Weimin returned to his home in Ermingang Hutong with the invitation and walked into the living room.

"Wife, Sister Fei, there's a wedding on Friday, do you want to go?" Lu Weimin asked, shaking the invitation in his hand.

"Who's getting married? This invitation is for you and your wife, right? I'm not invited either. I'm too embarrassed to just go and join in the fun!"

At this time, Lu Fei was sitting on the sofa holding her child and playing with him. She looked over when she heard the sound.

Li Jing also asked curiously:

"Who is getting married? The neighbors in the courtyard?"

Lu Weimin sat on the edge of the sofa, took the little daughter from Lu Fei's arms, kissed her, and then handed her to his wife with the invitation in his hand.

"No, Sister Fei didn't come this time. She said that she looks less and less like my mother and more like my sister. In order to avoid stealing the limelight from the newlyweds and causing unnecessary discussion, she decided not to attend the wedding," Lu Weimin explained.

"Oh, that's indeed a wise choice." He Yushui nodded.

Lu Weimin went on to say, "On the day we arrived, Yang Aiguo was very happy to see us. His wife Meijuan was also very enthusiastic. In particular, my youngest son Aimin quickly became the center of attention, with people around him praising him and even saying he was adorable."

Li Jing added: "Yes, seeing Aimin being loved by so many people really makes me feel extremely happy and proud."

He Yushui agreed with a smile: "Lu Aimin is indeed very good-looking. With parents like you, he is naturally outstanding. By the way, we also met a lot of old friends. Everyone was talking about Yang Aiguo, saying that he is a hardworking and down-to-earth young man."

"That's right," Lu Weimin nodded in agreement, "He also specifically mentioned our chance encounter in the park and his impression of Sister Fei."

"So that's how it is. It's such a wonderful memory. It's great to be able to witness their happiness this time." He Yushui said with emotion.

"Xiao Han has to go to class! Your sister Fei is at home taking care of the kids!"

Sha Zhu hoped to sit at the same table with Lu Weimin and his wife, but after hearing that they were sitting in the VIP area, he chose an adjacent table. He Yushui was also very enthusiastic and took Lu Aimin to play with him.

Among the guests attending the wedding banquet, there were many employees of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill... Everyone came forward to greet Director Yang and Lu Weimin.

Sha Zhu and his family did not go home immediately, but went to Lu Weimin's house to play.

Night falls.

GA College.

Room 503, female dormitory on the fifth floor.

Cheng Zhihan had just finished a shower, with her long hair loose and wearing pajamas. She came out of the bathroom while drying her hair. Seeing this, one of her roommates couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Xiao Han, why do I feel like you've been in better shape recently? You give off a different vibe overall, and even I feel like you've become more beautiful and mature!"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"No, no, it may be because I have been insisting on jogging every morning recently." "Does morning jogging really have such a good effect? ​​Then I will try to run in the morning too!"

Another roommate joked:

"It mainly depends on whether you can wake up early like Xiaohan and persist in doing so."

Xiao Han returned to the bed and gently lowered the blackout curtains, then involuntarily looked down at her chest. "Has my figure really improved? Why didn't Brother Weimin tell me about it?"

But I also know that my body has changed in some ways since we established an intimate relationship, so I naturally feel happy to hear others compliment me.

Xiaohan lay on the bed and began to read. Time passed quietly.

Suddenly, a wave of discomfort surged into her stomach. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

"Uh, uh, uh!"

After several consecutive retching sounds,

"I'm not pregnant, am I?" Cheng Zhihan was surprised and happy at the same time. She was surprised that she might be pregnant with Wei Min's child; she was shocked that she was still a college student!

What should you do once you become pregnant?

After she heard no unusual sounds outside and confirmed that her roommate had not noticed anything, her heartbeat gradually calmed down. That night, she was tossing and turning with a thousand thoughts, secretly planning to go to the hospital for a checkup early tomorrow morning and confess everything to Brother Wei Min.

at night,

In the hut of Ermin's house. In the study,

Lu Weimin is immersed in the sea of ​​books, constantly improving his skills—[Aerospace Engineering Ability +1][Aerospace Engineering Ability +1][Aerospace Engineering Ability +1].

At this time,

"Ah! Ahh!"

He sneezed twice loudly in succession, "Is someone thinking about me?"

Saturday morning,

Jia Dongxu set out on the road to the village with a piece of warm sweet potato in his pocket. He had not seen his mother Jia Zhang since he sent her home last time.

He missed her very much as they hadn't seen each other for such a long time, so he decided to go back and visit her today.

He rode in an ox cart along the road. When he was hungry, he took out the food that his wife Qin Huairu had prepared for him from his pocket and started eating it.

Finally, I arrived at the village and expressed my wish to see my mother to the village committee cadre. The cadre thought for a while and replied:

"Dongxu! Your mother lives a good life in the village and is participating in the collective labor of the commune. If you want to see her, I can take you there!" Jia Dongxu responded, and then followed the commune cadres to the labor site. After about ten minutes of walking, the two arrived at the lively collective labor area. Jia Dongxu saw the crowd in front of him, but after a careful search, he did not find his mother. At this time, the commune cadre suggested: "Jia Dongxu, wait here for a while, I will go to find your mother." Jia Dongxu immediately responded respectfully: "Thank you, leader!"
