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

Indeed, her husband always satisfied her. The women looked at Lu Weimin with admiration and pride. Li Jing, Fei Jie and Xiao Han were also happy for Chen Xueru.

"Congratulations, Minister Chen!" "Thank you, sisters!"

That night.

After taking a shower, Lu Weimin went into the study to study.

[Mechanical Engineering Ability +1] [Mechanical Engineering Ability +1] [Mechanical Engineering Ability +1]

Mechanical engineering skills are about to break through tonight, and Lu Weimin studied later than usual. Finally——

Breakthrough!

[Mechanical Engineering Ability Level 11: 100 billion +/1000 billion]

Following the previous skill, Mechanical Engineering also became the second skill to break through to level 11.

Lu Weimin now has two level 11 skills with billion experience points, and his overall strength has been greatly improved.

He closed the book contentedly and left the study.

I looked at the child first, covered him with a blanket, and then returned to the room. At this time, my mother had fallen asleep.

As soon as Lu Weimin got on the bed, Li Jing's long eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly. Between half asleep and half awake, her body naturally snuggled into Lu Weimin's arms, found a comfortable position, and continued her sweet sleep.

Lu Weimin also fell asleep hugging his fragrant wife.

the next day.

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Deputy Minister’s Office.

Chen Xueru had decided last night that she was willing to take on the role of head of the purchasing department and take on new challenges.

But she did not go to see Director Yang immediately. Instead, she waited until about three o'clock in the afternoon before going to Director Yang's office.

"How about it, Minister Chen, have you made a decision?"

Director Yang had been waiting for Chen Xueru to arrive. If she came later, he would go to find her. Now that Chen Xueru had finally arrived, he immediately asked with concern.

Chen Xueru said solemnly:

Nowadays, due to serious natural disasters and other reasons, the grain production has dropped significantly, making it extremely difficult for factories to purchase materials, and workers are facing the dilemma of not having enough food. If the workers are not well fed, how can they work at full capacity? Therefore, the current responsibilities of the Logistics Department are extremely important. At such a critical moment, as the Deputy Minister, I should have the courage to take responsibility and create conditions to overcome difficulties even if they are numerous.

Therefore, Director, I am willing to take over the post of Minister and overcome difficulties with the employees in the factory and the country! Hahaha, good! Well said! I've been waiting for you to say this! Minister Chen, you are a good cadre who is truly responsible! I have already written the appointment letter. From this moment on, you are the Minister of Logistics of our factory! Please do your best to ensure the supply of materials in the factory! After hearing this, Director Yang stood up excitedly and slapped the table.

Half an hour later, the factory-wide radio broadcast sounded, announcing a personnel appointment: Chen Xueru officially took over as the head of the logistics department. Upon hearing the news, all the workers in the factory were shocked, especially because Chen Xueru was so young, just in her twenties. Perhaps it was because she was young and fearless, she dared to take over the position of head at such a critical juncture. Although many people were not optimistic about Chen Xueru, especially the deputy head Zhao, he was full of jealousy and suspicion about Chen Xueru's appointment, thinking that she would end up in an embarrassing situation. As for the workers in the factory, they didn't care who would be the head, they only cared about the food in the cafeteria. "I don't know if the new head can feed us!" "It's really hard to say! The world is so difficult, and supplies are in short supply! It will be the same no matter who comes up! It's best not to hold too much hope."

After becoming the director, Chen Xueru quickly got to work and took inventory. She found that the food in the warehouse was only enough to last for three days, even though the allocation for each person was reduced. Only then did she realize that the amount of materials consumed by the factory every day was so large and the shortage of materials needed was so serious. No wonder the former director Luo was under too much pressure and was so exhausted that he fell ill and vomited blood. The situation was urgent, and Chen Xueru knew that she had to take action immediately. After personally participating, she deeply realized the hardship of the work.

Chen Xueru made great efforts and used almost all methods (except the last one) to finally purchase 70% of the supplies. Although it was an improvement over Minister Luo's previous 60%, it was still 30% short. Fortunately, her husband could help! The next difficult problem can only be solved by him! "After getting home from get off work, Chen Xueru handed the list of needed supplies to her husband Lu Weimin and said, "Husband, these are the remaining supplies you need help to get. Take as much as you can!"

"We have to take it step by step, so don't worry too much. Although natural disasters are serious, the country has already started taking measures to deal with them. During this period, everyone should save some money and find ways to get through this difficult time. As long as everyone works together, we will definitely be able to get through this."

After hearing Li Jing's words, everyone's faces relaxed a little. Although the worries were still not completely gone, they felt a little comforted. Yan Bugui sighed, but still nodded with a smile:

"Director Li, you're right. We all need to unite and work together to find a solution. Our suffering is much better than that of the people outside, and we can still have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Lu Weimin also continued:

"Yes, Master Yan, everyone has worked hard. Our Lu family will also do our best to help everyone. The most important thing now is that we work together to overcome the difficulties."

After hearing what Lu Weimin said, the neighbors nodded and felt more at ease. After all, Lu Weimin and his wife were the people they trusted the most. With their support, everyone seemed to have more confidence in facing the difficulties ahead.

I don’t know when this problem will be resolved.

But I believe that as long as everyone unites as one, helps each other and overcomes the difficulties together, this difficulty will eventually pass.

Ten minutes later, Lu Weimin and his family returned to the house in the middle courtyard and started to make a fire and cook.

This meal, Lu Weimin's family's food was very simple, just like everyone else's.

After all, there are too many eyes watching their every move.

Seeing that Lu Weimin's family didn't eat well and his eldest son Lu Aimin was eating sweet potatoes with relish, everyone's mood was finally balanced.

“Finally God has opened his eyes!

In the past, the Lu family ate delicacies from land and sea every day.

Now that we are facing a major disaster, everyone is the same and everyone is short of food.

Seeing that the Lu family also lived this kind of life, I was really happy! "

Jia Dongxu looked at Lu Aimin eating sweet potatoes, and his heart was filled with joy, because he didn't like to see others living better than himself, and he liked to see others suffer like himself.

Qin Huairu's mood was much more complicated. Seeing that Lu Weimin's family also ate so simply, she felt happy but also a little worried:

“The son of this family ate sweet potatoes with gusto, and it seems that he eats a lot of sweet potatoes.

They used to be so prosperous, but now they have fallen to this point. This is enough to show how difficult the current situation is! "

Lu Aimin played around in the yard and came home and said excitedly:

"Dad, Mom, I didn't expect that after eating too much meat, eating some whole grains would taste so good. I want to eat more!"

"Shh, baby! You can't tell anyone else that we have meat at home, understand?

If you want to eat whole grains, eat more of them. Eating whole grains occasionally is good for your health! "

Li Jing put her slender white fingers to her mouth, signaling her son not to say anything more.

"Mom, I get it!" Lu Aimin nodded, then skipped out with another sweet potato.

Those who originally felt like vomiting and disliked eating sweet potatoes suddenly felt differently when they saw that even Chief Engineer Lu and Director Li’s son could only eat sweet potatoes.

When I picked up the sweet potato again, I found it especially delicious.

At night, the atmosphere in the house became warm.

The little daughter and daughter-in-law were taking a bath in the bathroom, and the daughter's cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

The eldest son Lu Aimin sat at the desk, reading attentively, ignoring the outside voices.

Seeing this, Lu Weimin smiled with satisfaction and began to concentrate on reading to improve his knowledge of aeronautical engineering.

Late at night, after the children fell asleep.

Lu Weimin and his wife began their intimate activities.

The environment here is different from the home in Ermingang Hutong, where the couple has one room and the children each have one room, but here the whole family lives together.

Therefore, they have to be careful to avoid waking up the children, and the intimate interaction in this restrained environment has a special flavor.

Our neighbor next door is the Jia family.

"I wonder how my mother is doing in the countryside now? She must be doing better than us, right?" Jia Dongxu was so hungry that he could hardly fall asleep, and he thought to himself.

As summer approached, the disaster became more and more serious. Food was scarce and the villagers were living like zombies.

This day, the countryside.

When Jia Zhang returned home after finishing her farm work, the sunlight was glaring and she felt dizzy and her legs were weak. She had to stop and rest every few steps.

"Oh my God! Can I still live like this?

I, Jia Zhang, have never done anything bad in my life, why do I have to suffer like this?" Jia Zhang slapped the ground with her skinny hands, shouting in grief.

At this moment, if those people in the city who knew her saw her like this, they would be shocked.

Now Jia Zhang's face is full of wrinkles, she is skinny and almost just skin and bones. She is completely different from when she first returned to the village.

Jia Zhang was so tired of scolding that she stood up with difficulty and staggered towards home.

After returning home with difficulty, Jia Zhang saw three or four people carrying an object wrapped in mats out of the house, followed by women and children who were crying bitterly.

"What happened?" Jia Zhang asked her neighbor. "Another person starved to death!" The neighbor replied with a numb face.

Jia Zhang was so frightened that she couldn't remember how many people had died in the past few days. "I don't want to die! I can't die!"

She muttered incoherently, turned around and left home to find the commune leader. "Leader, please let me go back to the city!

This way the commune can save my rations and distribute them to everyone!"

This was the only reason Jia Zhang could think of. She looked at the leader with pleading and humble eyes. When the leader heard her request, his face immediately darkened:
