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

"Jia Zhang, do you want to escape from the battlefield? You enjoyed the food the most when you first came back, but now our commune is in trouble and you want to escape? Absolutely not!

You know, deserting a battlefield will result in execution! Although I don't have the power to execute you, I must punish you.

From today on, your rations will be reduced by half!"

Jia Zhang was shocked after hearing this. She was almost starving to death. How could she survive if the rations were reduced? She cried, "No! Leader, I was wrong! Please don't reduce my rations, I will starve to death!"

"Get out! If you keep howling here, it won't just be three days, it will be a week, or even longer!"

The leader scolded mercilessly.

Jia Zhang immediately didn't dare to say anything more. She knew that this place was different from the past when she was making a scene in the courtyard. Here, the leader had the final say. If you offended the leader, the end would be terrible. Even if you starved to death, no one would sympathize with you. This situation was already common. She left dejectedly.

"My dear, I think Jia Zhang is really pitiful. We don't have much food left. Why don't we let her go back to the city?

This way we can also save her food rations.”

The leader's wife came out and couldn't help but say. The leader looked at his wife and replied:

"This Jia Zhang is not a good person. She has done a lot of bad things in the city and angered a powerful person. That person asked me to punish this woman severely. Naturally, I will not let her go easily. This is one of the reasons. There is another reason:

If she can't make it anymore, she might go back to the city. Then she will definitely speak ill of our commune, which will have a very bad impact on the commune, so it's not appropriate to let her go back!"

The leader’s wife understood immediately after hearing this.

The next afternoon.

Jia Zhang was so hungry that she fainted on the ground because she only got half of her ration.

People nearby saw this and looked indifferent.

She came from the city and was looked down upon by the people here who had always lived in the countryside. No one cared about her life or death.

Some people even showed happy expressions.

After all, if more people die, more food can be saved, and they will have more hope of survival.

But most of the villagers didn't care, but the commune cadres couldn't just ignore it. They had to at least pretend to care, so they went over to check on Jia Zhang's condition.

"He's still breathing, but I'm afraid he won't make it tonight!"

"Carry her aside and feed her some purslane. See if she can make it!"

Two pale-faced and skinny men carried Jia Zhang to one side. One of them took the note written by the cadre and went to the canteen to get purslane. He took the opportunity to stuff a handful into his own mouth, and then fed the rest to Jia Zhang.

at night,

At the home of the commune leader.

"My dear, I heard that Jia Zhang almost died today!

If Jia Zhang really died, her son would probably make a scene if he knew that you reduced her food rations and caused her to starve to death!"

The leader's wife said worriedly.

"She wanted to be a deserter, so I only gave her a small punishment. If she starved to death, it would be her own fault.

Besides, in this place, all I have to say is a word!

Who dares to tip off the outside world?"

The commune leader replied coldly.

“That’s true, but it’s a human life after all!

How about this,

Doesn’t Jia Zhang have a son in the city who provides food supplies?

No matter how tight the food supply is in the city, the city residents will never be left hungry.

It would be better to send someone to the city to deliver a letter and ask her family to send some food back every month.

This way, Jia Zhangshi won't starve to death, and it can also reduce our burden! "

The commune leader's wife suggested.

The leader thought for a moment and said:

"That's a good idea! Let's do it! I need to think carefully about how to tell them."

Two days later,

In the city.

In a courtyard.

Aunt Yan was washing clothes in the yard with a tap. At this time, a man came in and asked Aunt Yan:

"Excuse me, is this Jia Dongxu's family?"

Aunt Yan raised her head and looked at the man. He was dark-skinned, short, and thin. Judging from his attire, he looked like a farmer.

"Yes! Jia Dongxu lives in this yard. What do you want to see him for?"

"Aunt Zhang Cuihua, Jia Dongxu's mother, and I are from the same commune. When Aunt Zhang heard that I was going to the city to do some business today, she asked me to give a message to her son," said the farmer.

"Oh! So that's how it is! However, Jia Dongxu is not at home now. He went to work. His wife is at home. I'll take you to her place!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Aunt Yan led the farmer to the middle courtyard, where Qin Huairu happened to be washing clothes at the tap.

"This is the daughter-in-law of Jia Dongxu you are looking for. Qin Huairu, this comrade is from the same commune as your mother-in-law, and she has come here specially to bring a message to your Dongxu." Aunt Yan said.

"I didn't expect Dongxu's daughter-in-law is so beautiful." The farmer was secretly surprised when he saw Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu heard that her mother-in-law had sent a message and stood up quickly.

After sending the person off, Aunt Yan returned to the front yard. A few minutes later.

Qin Huairu saw the farmer out, worry revealed between her brows.

When Jia Dongxu got off work in the afternoon and returned home, Qin Huairu immediately told him the message that her mother-in-law had sent him.

The general meaning is that as they get older, they eat more and more, but the food distributed by the commune is not enough, so they hope Jia Dongxu can send some food back every month.

After listening to this, Jia Dongxu also frowned.

This year, the famine has become more and more serious and the problem of food shortage has become increasingly prominent.

Although urban residents were rationed food, the actual supply was becoming increasingly tight.

There are long queues almost every day to buy food.

Many people simply couldn't buy enough rations.

For Jia Dongxu's family of three, they could only barely fill their stomachs. If they sent more food to Jia Zhang every month, the days ahead would be even more difficult. However, since the old lady had spoken, Jia Dongxu, a "filial son", could not remain indifferent and let his old mother starve.

"I'll share some of my food with my mother! I'm still young, so it doesn't matter if I eat less!" Jia Dongxu said

"But, Dongxu, you already have little. If you give some to mom, you will be hungry!" Qin Huairu said with a frown.

"There will always be a way when you reach the mountain. We'll talk about it then!" After saying that, Jia Dongxu turned his gaze to Lu Weimin's house.

He knew that Lu Weimin's family had a lot of food reserves and he rarely came back here.

Sunday.

Lu Weimin came to Liufenggang Hutong on the North Canal, and he arrived very early.

He must upgrade his Chinese martial arts to the eleventh level today.

Lu Weimin had a hunch that there would definitely be some surprises when breaking through from the tenth level to the eleventh level.

Start practicing. [Martial Arts +1] [Martial Arts +1] [Martial Arts +1]

The time spent in focused practice passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was evening.

After continuous efforts, I finally made a breakthrough.

[National Martial Arts Level 11: 100 billion +/1000 billion]

At that decisive moment, Lu Weimin felt a golden light emanating from his Dantian. "Eh! Did I see it wrong?" He closed his eyes and visualized his Dantian according to the method taught by his master.

Unexpectedly, a golden pill appeared in the dantian.

"Oh my god! I have really made it to the Jindan realm! The Jindan realm is actually real! Master will definitely be very happy when he knows this!"

Lu Weimin couldn't suppress his excitement and opened his eyes, filled with shock and joy.

"Master, where are you? Come back soon! Your apprentice has made history and become the first martial arts practitioner to reach the Jindan realm since ancient times!" Lu Weimin's eyes were shining, and he looked into the distance affectionately with an excited expression.

He understands.

The Jindan realm not only means that he has a stronger physique, but also a longer life!

When Lu Weimin returned to his home in Ermingang, he noticed that Chen Xueru seemed to be in a bad mood as soon as he stepped into the living room.

You know, Chen Xueru usually always smiles, is positive, cheerful and confident. But today is obviously unusual.

"Xue Ru, what happened?

Tell me about it! Is it because of work troubles? "

Lu Weimin brought Chen Xueru into the bedroom, picked her up like a princess, walked to the bed and sat down, letting her sit on his lap.

Chen Xueru shook her head:

"It's not about work. It's about my parents. You know, they've always lived in the countryside.

As you know, the situation in the countryside right now is that many people are starving, and many have even starved to death. I am really worried about them!"

It turns out that he is worried about his parents. Lu Weimin understood. "We can't let our parents go hungry.

How about this! I'll drive over to pick them up in the city tomorrow.

I will take care of all their food rations. I won't let them go hungry!" Chen Xueru looked up at Lu Weimin:

"I've actually thought about that. But you know, my father has several concubines, and they're too conspicuous in the city, so they returned to the countryside and asked me to manage the store for them.

If they all moved into the city, they might get into trouble or even be reported because of this incident! Therefore, they were unwilling to move into the city!

They said that even starving was better than being separated. Lu Weimin thought for a moment and said:

"That's easy. We can have them all move into the city, but your father and his concubines will live separately. That way they won't be too conspicuous.

And we have so many houses!"

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up after hearing this:

"Oh! Why didn't I think of that? You are so smart, husband!" Chen Xueru happily hugged Lu Weimin and kissed him.

A few minutes later.

The two of them walked out of the room.

Li Jing, Fei Jie and Xiao Han saw Chen Xueru's smile blooming again, and they all gave her a thumbs up, obviously thanks to Lu Weimin:

"Wei Min is really amazing. He coaxed Xueru into submission so quickly!"

at night.

After taking a shower, when he entered the study to start studying, Lu Weimin was pleasantly surprised to find that his learning efficiency had improved significantly since he had reached the Jindan realm in Chinese martial arts.

[Aerospace Engineering Ability +1] [Aerospace Engineering Ability +1] [Aerospace Engineering Ability +1]

After finishing his study, Lu Weimin closed his book and returned to the master bedroom. His wife Li Jing had dressed up carefully and looked at him with tenderness in her eyes. Having sex at night has almost become their daily activity, except for a few special days. It is also the moment she looks forward to most in the day. Although they have been married for seven years, Li Jing is still passionate about the intimacy between husband and wife. After all, her husband is really good.
